$SOL is holding around $75.60 on the 4H chart.
Price is down around 1.11%, with sellers keeping some pressure on the market.
Key levels I’m watching:
→ Resistance: $76.23 – $77.18
→ Major resistance: $77.82
→ Support: $75.27
→ Stronger support: $74.64
If SOL reclaims $76.23 and holds above it, buyers could try to push toward $77+.
But losing $75.27 could open the door for a retest of the $74.64 area.
For now, patience and confirmation matter.

Gate Launchpool is once again putting the spotlight on early-stage Web3 opportunities, with the DOS campaign attracting strong attention across its staking pools. The latest figures show combined DOS staking participation exceeding $153 million, highlighting the scale of capital being deployed by users seeking token rewards while keeping their core assets working.

One of the strongest attractions of the DOS campaign is its estimated combined annualized yield of around 14.38%. In a market where traders are increasingly f

$XRP is holding around $1.00 on the 4H chart.
Price is down around 0.85%, after getting rejected from the $1.047 area.
Right now, XRP is consolidating near the $1.00 level.
Key levels I’m watching:
→ Resistance: $1.019 – $1.036
→ Major resistance: $1.047
→ Support: $1.002
→ Stronger support: $0.991
If XRP reclaims $1.019, buyers could try to push back toward $1.036 and $1.047.
But losing $0.991 could bring more downside pressure.
For now, I’m watching the $1.00 zone closely. 👀

BTC & ETH Enter a Critical Options-Expiry Volatility Window
Bitcoin and Ethereum are approaching an important market moment as a large options expiry puts two key psychological levels directly in focus: BTC around $64K and ETH around $1,900.
BTC is currently trading near the $63K area, while ETH is hovering around $1.87K–$1.90K. The reported max-pain levels are approximately $64,000 for BTC and $1,900 for ETH.
⚠️ Important: Max pain is NOT a guaranteed price target. It is simply one reference point that can become relevant when hedging flows, liquidity and concentrat

$BTC CPI and PPI Cool Simultaneously, Rate Hike Divergence Widens
CPI and PPI both weakened, with inflationary pressures easing across both upstream and downstream sectors. The market consequently lowered the probability of a September rate hike, but the moderate cooling in the data did not bridge differences within the Federal Reserve; instead, it further amplified policy divergence.
The dovish logic is clear: PPI’s continued decline means weaker cost pass-through to consumers, with the downtrend in inflation corroborated by data from both upstream and downstream sectors. Coupled with the gra
