This past week, Ethereum has dawdled near $3,018, fencing with resistance levels of $3,100-$3,200. Oh, noble analyst “CryptoTrendX,” whose name drips with faux gravitas, proclaims: “A decisive leap above $3,100 may unlock the vaults of $5,000!” One must ask-does this vault require a key, or merely a well-timed gas fee?
Guy on Earth issued a warning so sharp it’s almost poetic-XRP is basically “hanging on for its dear life.” Talk about a mood. His very cautious forecast is that XRP needs Bitcoin to wake up, stretch, and decide to play nice for a change. Apparently, the entire altcoin neighborhood has been living in stress-induced chaos, waiting for BTC to lead the parade to recovery. Once Bitcoin flexes those digital muscles and the altcoins’ dominance shrinks, XRP might get the chance it desperately needs to make a move. Think of Bitcoin as the party host, and XRP as the guest of honor hoping for a dance-if Bitcoin doesn’t get motivated, XRP will still be stuck in the corner trying to figure out where everyone went. 💃
The CME bitcoin annualised basis has slipped to -2.35%-a quiet but chilling descent,
its deepest backwardation since the chaotic days of the FTX collapse in November 2022,
when the basis flirted with a nightmarish -50%. One might almost hear it whisper,
as if confessing its sins in a dimly lit room. 😐📉
Backwardation, in its cruel simplicity, reveals a futures curve where nearer contracts,
like impatient Dostoevskian protagonists, insist upon higher prices than their distant,
brooding counterparts. The market thus speaks: tomorrow shall be poorer than today.
A sentiment we all relate to at some point, don’t we? 😅
And yet this is a curious condition for bitcoin, a creature that normally walks proudly
in contango-its futures elevated by leverage and the eternal optimism of traders who
believe tomorrow will be brighter… or at least funded.
Behold the daily chart: Bitcoin, having clawed back from the $80,537 abyss, now tests the $95,000 threshold-a wall of bricks erected by skeptics. Its V-shaped recovery, though valiant, reeks of desperation. The volume? A surge, yes, but one wonders if it’s the roar of lions or the whimper of mice in wolf suits. 🦊
So, what’s going on here? Well, ONDO’s price is reacting with all the grace of a dancer who’s just figured out the rhythm of a falling wedge pattern. For the uninitiated, that’s the kind of structure that signals a bullish reversal, which is just fancy talk for “something good is probably coming.” And where does this sweet little support line come from? A spot that’s already fuelled a surge to $2.14 back in March 2024. That’s some sturdy history right there, like a comfy chair you never want to leave. And the best part? This support zone is so on point, it’s almost like it has its own fan club.
On the daily chart, Bitcoin’s clawing back into the green, the little rascal! It’s tiptoeing through the $89,000 to $93,000 zone, like a cat burglar sneaking past the stodgy old guard of resistance at $116K. The big, bossy 100-day and 200-day moving averages are lurking overhead around $108K-like a pair of grumpy old gatekeepers. Until those resistance bouncers turn friendly support, this dance remains more of a stumble than a waltz.
After Monday’s little drama, the global markets have settled, but only on the surface, my dears. Bitcoin is lounging in the mid-$90K range, having bounced back a saucy 7% from its $86K sulk. Equities and FX, meanwhile, are dithering like debutantes at a ball, all eyes on next week’s FOMC shindig. Despite the apparent serenity, everyone’s girding their loins for a policy earthquake. 🌍💃
The SEC, in its infinite wisdom (or perhaps a caffeine-induced epiphany), has paused the approval of 3x and 5x leveraged ETFs, citing “extreme risk exposure” and “federal limits on leverage.” A bold stance, indeed, if one overlooks the irony of regulators now policing products designed to amplify volatility in a market that thrives on it. The regulator’s letters to Direxion, ProShares, and GraniteShares read less like a warning and more like a bureaucratic sigh of relief: “Finally, someone’s admitting we’ve gone too far.” 🤡
From a solid $9.3 billion market cap on November 1 to a sad $7.1 billion on November 30-USDe has officially hit its lowest point. That’s not just a dip; that’s a plunge, folks. This token had one of its sharpest contractions EVER. The crypto world’s version of “oops, I did it again.” 💔
DOT punched through the $2.25 resistance level like it was a piñata at a kid’s party. 🎉 CoinDesk’s technical analysis model says it’s a big deal-and who are we to argue?
