🪙CRYPTO DIGEST🪙

BTC/USD

Bitcoin’s price has been quiet for the past 19 days, trapped in one of the tighter ranges of this cycle. Volatility this low hasn’t been seen since September 2023, and history suggests that when BTC goes this still, a larger move isn’t far off.

From a structural perspective, I would prefer to see a sweep of the range lows to provide better trade setups. Until a breakout occurs the broader range we remain in is important to watch for the next macro move.

• Range low: $91,500

• Midpoint: $99,000

• Range high: $106,500

ETH/USD

Last week, Ethereum attempted to reclaim the cycle mid ($2,874) but was unable to hold above it, reinforcing its role as a key resistance level. ETH continues to test the lower bound of the ascending channel, which remains a critical area of support. If this trend fails to hold, the next significant support at $2,478 will be key—watch for a potential bounce or a break lower toward February’s lows at $2,120.

ETH/BTC

I’m watching to see if ETH can potentially make a higher low in the coming weeks—a sign it might be ready to end its downtrend. If it can’t, the cycle low at 0.02345 remains the critical support to hold.

BTC Dominance & The Altcoin Market

• BTC Dominance: The uptrend remains intact, and as long as Quantitative Tightening (QT) continues, there is still room for new cycle highs.

• Broader Alt Market (Total3/BTC & Others/BTC): Looking specifically at Others/BTC (excludes the top 10 assets) the medium to small caps are hovering close to cycle lows established earlier in February. Prices are currently 11% off those lows, but current resistance remains strong.

Key Economic Data This Week

• Thursday: Initial Jobless Claims (Prior: 219K, Expected: 220K) GDP Growth Rate QoQ (Q4 Preliminary) (Prior: 3.1%, Expected: 2.3%)

• Friday: PCE Price Index (Prior: 0.4%, Expected: 0.3%)

  This week’s GDP data will give further insight into economic growth, while PCE remains the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation. Any surprises in these reports could impact expectations around monetary policy and market liquidity.
  

  These are the key levels and events I’m watching this week. As always, this is just my perspective and not financial advice—stay disciplined, manage risk, and stick to your plan.

🐸MEMES🐸

Not much to update since last week regarding memes - most older memes are slow bleeding out, with the last few weekly candles being big reds. Where we are in the market remains to be seen, however Solana has been bleeding and if it is to bounce back, then this is a very nice reset for memes overall. The liquidity extraction the last few months simply wasn't sustainable and required a big reset - and that's what we're getting, with only three pump fun coins bonding so far today. A few coins that are almost a week old have survived and done okay, such as $HOOTERS and $ANGLERFISH and if their strength is an indicator of anything, they should continue to do well in the coming days. $HOOTERS (https://x.com/SOLANAHOOTERS) in particular has a strong narrative with the Hooters restaurant filing for bankruptcy and multiple NBA stars showing their love and begging for Hooters not to be shut down - it also seems like something Elon Musk will likely tweet about, and we know what that does to price. Aside from that, some ponzi memes where you get paid in SOL, USDC or USDT for holding have popped up and done well for a few days, so that could be something too keep an eye out for

Otherwise, watch out for http://Time.fun - it's being used by Toly, Mert, Santiago and lots of other big players where they're tokenising their time. There are plenty of opportunities to make money on there by trading tokens of creators' time on there if you're early enough.

📜FOR THE CULTURE📜

Are we still vibing? Crypto culture and Bybit hack.

In a significant breach, Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange Bybit suffered a loss of approximately $1.5 billion in Ethereum due to a hack during a routine transfer from cold to warm wallets. The attackers managed to divert 401,000 Ethereum to an unknown address, marking one of the largest heists in digital asset history.

Bybit's CEO, Ben Zhou, reassured clients of the company's solvency, emphasizing that all client assets remain backed 1:1 and that unaffected wallets and withdrawals continue to operate normally. The exchange is collaborating with blockchain forensic experts to trace the stolen funds and has initiated a recovery bounty program, offering up to 10% of the recovered amount to ethical hackers assisting in the retrieval.

This incident has intensified concerns over the security of cryptocurrency platforms, especially as North Korean cybercriminals are suspected of orchestrating the heist. The Lazarus Group, a hacking collective linked to North Korea, has been implicated in previous crypto thefts, including significant breaches in 2022 and 2024. The Bybit hack underscores the persistent vulnerabilities within the crypto ecosystem and the sophisticated methods employed by malicious actors.

In response to the breach, Ethereum's value experienced a temporary decline of approximately 4%. The event has prompted calls within the crypto community for enhanced security measures and regulatory oversight to protect investors and maintain trust in digital asset platforms. As the investigation continues, the industry faces mounting pressure to address these challenges and bolster defenses against future attacks.
