🪙CRYPTO DIGEST🪙

BTC/USD

Bitcoin came within $100 of testing the Green band last week before seeing a sharp reaction. Early this week, BTC briefly reclaimed the Blue band but has since fallen back below. A retest of the Blue band will provide better confirmation of whether price can reclaim the range or if we are looking at further downside.

On the weekly timeframe, BTC came within 12% of the Blue band (currently $68K), and the February low ($78,300) remains a key level to monitor if market weakness continues throughout Q1.

• Range low: $89,298

• Midpoint: $98,746

• Range high: $108,275

If price remains below this range, we need to monitor whether BTC fails to reclaim it. If so, we could see an expansion move lower, potentially retesting the $73,000 area. It will also be crucial to watch the February low as a support level in case of continued weakness.

BTC Dominance

• With QT (Quantitative Tightening) still in effect, BTC dominance remains strong and could even put in new highs.

• Once QT ends (expected in the next few months), BTC dominance will be the best indicator to watch for an upcoming alt season.

• Until then, BTC continues to absorb most of the liquidity in the market.

ETH/USD

Ethereum is currently holding the prior range highs as support, but the next move depends on whether it can break key levels:

• Resistance: $2,478

• Support: $2,030

Being near the lows of this range, it’s crucial to monitor whether ETH can maintain support at $2,030. A failure to hold could open the possibility for a deeper retest of lower levels.

ETH/BTC

• ETH/BTC continues to hover around the 0.025 level, a key area to watch for either support or a breakdown to retest the cycle lows at 0.02345.

• A higher low formation here would be a strong signal that the downtrend is ending, but confirmation is still needed.

Altcoin Market

• Total3/BTC: Holding up relatively well over the past month but still facing resistance.

• Others/BTC: Still below key resistance levels but maintaining price action above the cycle lows.

  This suggests a shift toward higher conviction plays rather than excessive risk-taking in smaller, more speculative altcoins. However, until QT ends, the broader alt market remains constrained.

Key Economic Data This Week

This week brings crucial labor data that could impact market direction:

Wednesday

• ADP National Employment Change – Prior: 183K | Expected: 140K

  Thursday

• Initial Jobless Claims – Prior: 242K | Expected: 235K

• Continuing Jobless Claims – Prior: 1,862K | Expected: 1,880K

  Friday

• Unemployment Rate – Prior: 4.0% | Expected: 4.0%

• Fed Chair Jerome Powell Speech – Likely addressing the economic outlook, particularly in light of this week’s employment data.

📜FOR THE CULTURE📜

Trump's Crypto Strategic Reserve. Which coins represent the crypto culture?

In a landmark move, President Donald Trump announced the establishment of a "Crypto Strategic Reserve," positioning the United States as the "crypto capital of the world." This reserve includes major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). The announcement led to a significant rally in the crypto market, with Bitcoin's price soaring to nearly $93,000, adding approximately $166 billion to its market capitalization.

The initiative reflects a notable shift in the administration's stance on digital assets, contrasting with previous regulatory approaches. President Trump also nominated Paul Atkins, a known crypto supporter, to replace Gary Gensler as SEC chairman, signalling a more favourable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies.

However, this move has sparked debates among lawmakers. California Democrat Rep. Sam Liccardo introduced the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act, aiming to prevent government officials from issuing or sponsoring cryptocurrencies, particularly meme coins. This legislation responds to concerns about transparency and potential conflicts of interest, especially following the launch of President Trump's own memecoin, which saw an 18.5% increase after the reserve announcement.

At the state level, Texas lawmakers are advancing efforts to create a Bitcoin reserve, aligning with the federal initiative. Senate Bill 21, proposed by state Sen. Charles Schwertner, aims to establish the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, reinforcing the state's position as a leader in crypto development and regulation. This move underscores the growing acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies into mainstream financial strategies across various levels of government.
