🪙CRYPTO DIGEST🪙

Bitcoin (BTC/USD)

Bitcoin continues to consolidate below the range midpoint, currently holding support at the 1/4 range level. The key levels remain unchanged:

• Range low: $91,500

• Midpoint: $99,000

• Range high: $106,500

• All-Time High (ATH): $109,321

• Current Support: 1/4 range level ($95,818)

  At this stage, BTC is testing support, and the next moves to watch for include:

• A potential retest of the range lows or last week’s low ($94,166), which could present strong trade setups.

• A reclaim of the range midpoint, which would indicate bullish momentum toward higher targets.

Ethereum (ETH/USD & ETH/BTC)

Ethereum remains above the lower bound of the ascending channel, maintaining its structure for now. The Cycle Mid level ($2,874) remains a critical resistance zone, and reclaiming it would be necessary for a more bullish outlook.

ETH/BTC Outlook:

• The 0.03 level remains a major resistance point, and ETH/BTC has yet to reclaim it.

• While it's uncertain if ETH has fully bottomed against BTC, current valuations remain attractive for accumulation.

• A slight divergence in ETH's strength suggests an increased interest in more stable plays over high-risk, speculative assets.

Broader Altcoin Market: Total3/BTC & Others/BTC

The broader altcoin market continues to show mixed signals against BTC:

• Total3/BTC has held its structure and maintained support, reflecting relative strength in higher-quality altcoins.

• Others/BTC has yet to reclaim key levels, indicating smaller-cap alts are still struggling to regain momentum.

For altcoins to break out more decisively, a shift in liquidity dynamics and clearer signs of a risk-on environment are needed (QT coming to a close).

Traditional Markets & Key Macro Levels

• S&P 500: Testing the range highs, awaiting confirmation of either a breakout or rejection.

• DXY (Dollar Index): Closed below 107.2, re-entering its previous range. Watching this week for confirmation of further downside.

• Gold: Hit a new all-time high (ATH) this past week, continuing to show strength in the face of global uncertainties.

Federal Reserve & Policy Shifts: What It Could Means for Markets

Philadelphia Fed President Patrick T. Harker suggested that the Fed may no longer provide forward guidance—a significant deviation from their past approach. This shift has left market participants uncertain, as the Fed had previously emphasized clear communication on expectations.

Instead of setting expectations in advance, they are now falling back to a data-dependent stance, reacting only when necessary rather than preemptively adjusting policy. This means that economic data will play an even bigger role in shaping future rate decisions, making each data release more impactful for markets.

Key Economic Data to Watch This Week

Wednesday: FOMC Minutes Release – Insight into Fed discussions and potential future rate moves.
Thursday: Initial Jobless Claims: Prior 213K, Consensus 215K

Final Thoughts: 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🐸

Memecoin sentiment is at all time lows right now. One final extractive launch in the form of the $LIBRA token launched by the Kelsier team and endorsed by Argentinian president Javier Milei has caused mass losses amongst a lot of Solana ecosystem participants, especially with insiders benefitting incredibly from it. With this news, debate has been sparked about the future of the Solana ecosystem as there have been rumours about people within head protocols in Solana such as Meteora being complicit in the launch. While these are just rumours, if any information comes out that suggests this is true, Solana will suffer heavily in the short-term, which means I'd highly recommend staying away from having any meaningful positions in Solana based memecoins for the time being.

Solana's history suggests it can easily make a comeback from any negative information so long-term there's nothing to worry about in my opinion, however short term I believe looking at chains such as Base and AVAX for memes is more reliable - AVAX has been having a PVE memecoin season recently, with coins such as $WINK and $KET pumping hard from initial launch prices, which were already massive gains for presalers. AVAX doesn't seem to have a super accessible memecoin launchpad like pumpfun that dilutes existing coins, so up only seems a lot more realistic over there.

📜FOR THE CULTURE📜

Political endorsements and market volatility shape Crypto Culture

In a bold move, Argentine President Javier Milei recently endorsed the cryptocurrency $LIBRA, leading to a rapid surge in its value to nearly $5 per unit. However, the excitement was short-lived, as the coin's value plummeted to less than $1 within hours, sparking allegations of a "rug pull" scheme. Opposition legislator Leandro Santoro has called for Milei's impeachment over the incident, highlighting the potential risks of political figures promoting volatile digital assets.

Meanwhile, the identity of Bitcoin's elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has come under renewed scrutiny. Conor Grogan, a Coinbase executive, suggested that rival exchange Kraken might possess information regarding Nakamoto's true identity, citing interactions between a Satoshi-controlled wallet and the Canadian Bitcoin exchange CaVirtEx, which Kraken later acquired. This revelation has reignited debates within the crypto community about transparency and the origins of Bitcoin.

The cryptocurrency market continues to experience significant fluctuations, with Bitcoin's price slipping 0.9% to $96,037, marking a 7.3% decline since President Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20. Analysts attribute this downturn to the U.S. administration's steps toward launching a crypto task force, which has fallen short of establishing the anticipated Bitcoin strategic reserve. For a potential market resurgence, experts point to the need for industry-focused legislation and positive macroeconomic indicators, such as reduced inflation nearing the Federal Reserve's 2% target. In the realm of art and cryptocurrency, San Francisco-based crypto mogul Justin Sun made headlines by purchasing a banana duct-taped to a wall for $6.2 million. This controversial artwork, featured in a Super Bowl ad by Meta, has sparked discussions about the intersection of digital assets and contemporary art. The piece, titled "Comedian" by artist Maurizio Cattelan, challenges traditional notions of art ownership and value, especially when juxtaposed with the speculative nature of cryptocurrency investments.
