Solana Foundation also were center stage as they pledged $10 million in funding for projects exploring Solana and AI. Finally, XRP rallied over 10% this week, thanks to news from the SEC and CBDC, further validating its potential.

New on-chain figures show a whopping 68% of BTC is held for at least a year, indicating strong confidence and long-term belief in its potential. And that's not all, 55% of BTC has been held for a remarkable two years or more. Long-term holders are in the game, with an all-time high of 14.46M coins held longer than 155 days. But here's an interesting twist:
tl/dr:
The LTFs show the higher TF's low volatility at a much better resolution, we have seen price repeatedly run previous highs and lows, leading to opposite directional moves. However, we have now reached the extreme of the bearish leg and would expect either a bullish retracement to the $27k price level or a continuation of the bearish leg to sub $25.8k
Given we are currently being held down by the 1H 50 EMA as resistance, we wait to see how price closes relative to the 50 EMA.
tl/dr:
Following on from last week's low volatility sideways price action, this week we have continued this low momentum; however, after a clear rejection of the daily 50 EMA as resistance, we have pushed to the last bastion of support (the bullish order block at the extreme) before price continues its next bearish leg.
Moving forward, if this line in the sand is to fail, we would expect price to make its way to under $25k, at which point it would have had a healthy retracement from the 31k high. These price levels would also align with the retest of the daily 200 EMA as support for the next bullish price leg.
Ethereum is blazing a trail with its latest energy-saving update, successfully closing a significant security hole. But that's not all—ETH is making history with its lowest supply on exchanges since its genesis, a remarkable 10.1%. The altcoin market is buzzing too, as sharks and whales make their moves, driving excitement around mid and low cap assets like MTL, POWR, Aergo, and DIA. And talk about a whale of a tale! An Ethereum whale scored an impressive 10X gains, turning $244k into a whopping $2.63M with PEPE
tl/dr:
We saw ETH try to break above the 50 EMA on the daily chart this week, which was quickly met with bearish selling pressure pushing price back below the 50 EMA and signalling bears are laying in wait.
Moving forward, we would look for price to continue its macro retrace down $1700, at least where it would meet the daily 200 EMA, a significant catalyst for potential long-term bullish legs.
