🪙CRYPTO DIGEST🪙

Bitcoin (BTC/USD)
BTC hit a new all-time high this morning but remains rangebound, with no definitive breakout from the current range. The key levels to monitor this week are the new ATH and the midpoint of the range. A break of these levels could signal a decisive move in either direction.

From a FibMa perspective, BTC tested the Yellow band earlier this week, a critical macro level that has often served as resistance in past cycles. The Orange band, sitting at $113,000, represents the next significant target if momentum continues upward. On the support side, BTC has maintained its footing at the midpoint of the current range and the Yellow band during Monday's volatility, influenced by the inauguration events. Both levels will be crucial to monitor for sustained bullish momentum.

Ethereum (ETH/USD)
ETH/USD approached the cycle midpoint last week but fell just shy of testing it. With recent volatility, $3,300 remains a key local level to watch. Holding above this level will be critical for maintaining the bullish structure. On the upside, $4,000 represents the next major milestone for Ethereum, as the broader market anticipates another leg higher.

ETH/BTC
ETH/BTC reached a new cycle low this past week, testing the lower bounds of its accumulation range at 0.03. This level is a critical area to monitor for potential support. Despite the pullback, I continue to view this range between 0.04 and 0.03 as an excellent accumulation zone for those with a long-term outlook on Ethereum.

Broader Altcoin Market (Total3/BTC and Others/BTC)
The broader altcoin market, represented by Total3/BTC and Others/BTC, is holding support at critical levels. Maintaining these levels is essential to confirm the resilience of altcoins against BTC and the potential for a broader rally. Any sustained support here could set the stage for the next phase of growth in the altcoin market.

Key Economic and Market Drivers
This week’s economic calendar is relatively quiet, with Initial Jobless Claims scheduled for Thursday. While not a direct market mover, these data points provide insight into labor market trends and broader economic health.

Additionally, with the inauguration of the new U.S. president, markets may react to any notable policy announcements or developments in the administration’s first few weeks. Keep an eye on any sudden news events that could influence sentiment across traditional and crypto markets.

Solayer Community Sale Allocation and TGE
Solayer, the restaking protocol on Solana that attracted 400M in TVL and one of the 2 top 10 Solana without a token, completed its Community Sale, attracting over $57M of deposits, 5.5x more than the raise amount of $10.5M.

BuidlPad, the launchpad behind the sale, adopted the overflow model, where depositors would get proportional allocation based on a launch valuation of $350M FDV, and the rest were refunded to wallets.

You can now check your allocation. TGE is planned for 21 Jan. Official Tweet here: https://x.com/buidlpad/status/1881470834973528413

A Big Win for Meteora from $TRUMP Launch
The controversial launch of sitting US Predident’s official memecoin, $TRUMP, created huge waves over the weekend, pumping to an ATH of $70B+ FDV and becoming a top memecoin. Many crypto natives were caught off-guard as the coin was launched late Friday evening and many were either unaware of the launch or were hesitant about its legitimacy.

However, this didn’t stop $TRUMP from breaking records. The President chose Solana and Meteora to launch his memecoin, and this was a huge win for both the chain and the tokenless protocol, currently commanding top mindshare amongst this category according to Kaito AI.

Besides trading, a good way to capitalise on the insane volume and volatility is to print fees on Meteora, a case study here: https://x.com/cruzcontrol660/status/1881166125121364000

📜FOR THE CULTURE: $TRUMP📜

Trump's Memecoin sparks controversy and speculation in Crypto Community

In a move that has sent ripples through the cryptocurrency world, President-elect Donald Trump launched a new memecoin, aptly named $TRUMP, just days before his inauguration. Promoted as a symbol of community and support rather than a traditional investment, the coin's value experienced extreme volatility—surging from $10 to approximately $70 before plummeting to $5, coinciding with the release of a similar coin for Melania Trump.

The introduction of $TRUMP has elicited mixed reactions. Enthusiasts view it as a testament to Trump's pro-crypto stance, anticipating a more crypto-friendly administration that could foster innovation and integration of digital assets into mainstream finance. Conversely, critics warn of the inherent risks associated with memecoins, noting their susceptibility to market manipulation and the potential for significant investor losses.

Adding to the fervor, Australian radio host Kyle Sandilands claimed to have profited $700,000 from a $10,000 investment in $TRUMP over a single weekend. While his assertions have been met with skepticism and calls for verification, they underscore the speculative allure that memecoins hold for investors seeking rapid gains.

As the Trump administration prepares to take office, the launch of $TRUMP may signal a shift towards more favorable cryptocurrency policies in the United States. However, the memecoin's volatility serves as a stark reminder of the speculative nature of such digital assets, prompting calls for cautious engagement from both novice and seasoned investors.
