The crypto market cap is around $2.69 trillion, and Ethereum’s narrative has truly changed.
In the past, ETH’s price was supported by “on-chain prosperity,” but aside from infrastructure, DeFi, and stablecoins, the vast majority of application projects eventually went to zero.
Can Ethereum’s value as merely the “underlying clearing and settlement layer + underlying asset of the ecosystem” still support a price of $2,500?

Spot Crypto ETFs See Strong Inflows
U.S. spot crypto ETFs recorded notable net inflows on August 24, with Bitcoin leading the group.
BTC: $337.56M
ETH: $115.57M
SOL: $33.49M
XRP: $13.82M
The numbers show that investor interest wasn’t limited to Bitcoin. Ethereum, Solana and XRP products also attracted fresh capital.
Still, one day of ETF inflows doesn’t guarantee a lasting market trend. Flows can change quickly as sentiment, liquidity and broader market conditions shift.
For me, the important takeaway is to watch whether strong inflows continue over multiple sessions rather than judging the ma

With this trend, I don't even need to think—the account is dancing on its own. I opened the chart this morning and saw that $THE had held its key level, with funds quietly flowing in, so I went long and entered at 0.0581. It has now risen to 0.072, +239.17%—the wait was worth it. Hold as long as the trend remains intact; run when it breaks down. Don't fall in love with stocks. Take profit on 80% first—feeling great, brothers. Protect the remaining 20% at the entry price, and let the profits run if it keeps surging. Even if you only make one point, as long as you can take it home, it's yours; n

On SOL’s 4H timeframe, the bearish signal is locked and loaded—but would you follow it with a 55% win rate?

$SOL /USDT - SHORT

Trading plan:
Entry: 99.34 – 100.16
SL: 103.68
TP1: 96.80
TP2: 94.84
TP3: 91.89

Why pay attention to this setup?
- The key level 99.75 is the current dividing line between bulls and bears, with the 1H POC here, but the 1D trend is merely ranging, not one-directional.
- The 15-minute RSI is only 40.7, showing weak short-term rebounds, while bears are pressing lower with momentum.
- The targets are clear: TP1 at 96.8, TP2 at 94.84, and the stop-loss at 103.68, with

BTC is currently dominated by bulls overall, and the larger timeframe has formed a stabilizing and rising structure. Although pullbacks and shakeouts occasionally occur intraday, creating the illusion of weakening, buying support below remains very solid after each decline, with lows continuing to rise.
The moving averages on the four-hour timeframe remain in a bullish alignment. Pullbacks are mostly technical corrections during the uptrend, not a trend reversal.
In this market, be sure not to blindly chase highs. The truly good opportunity is to wait for a pullback to key support before gradu

$ZEC When looking at technical indicators, do you prefer golden crosses and death crosses, or do you focus on divergence signals? This time, I decisively entered when a bullish divergence appeared on the daily MACD!
In-depth analysis:
During ZEC’s previous decline, the price hit a new low, but the MACD indicator did not, forming a typical bullish divergence pattern. After spotting this signal around 503.57, I decisively entered a long position. This kind of divergence often signals that bearish momentum is waning and that the bulls are about to strike back. Entering at this reversal point with

With this trend, I don’t even need to think—the account is dancing on its own, to the point that I’d feel embarrassed to call it the short position’s contribution.

While everyone else was running, I watched $MAGMA ’s intraday chart for a long while. Every time it tried to push upward, the funds waiting to buy below seemed half-asleep, with insufficient support; even when it went up, no one was there to carry it higher. The market looked lively at the time, but every rebound came with shrinking volume. The bulls were putting on a one-man show, and this kind of performance wouldn’t make it past

I didn’t make any moves or analysis—just got lucky. Even saying this result out loud feels embarrassing. 😅
While everyone else was running, I took one extra look—the rebounds were getting weaker each time, no one was buying on the way up, and the volume kept shrinking. Seeing this lack of support, I didn’t overthink it and directly placed a short, betting that it couldn’t hold. 🧐
As a result, $USELESS directly slid from 0.06816 to 0.06309, and the +358.21% profit is in the bag. We can afford a good meal, brothers—this one was pure free money. 🤝
As for the trade, I first took the bulk off t

82000 is the peak of the bears’ despair; breaking above 82000 would mean a trend reversal in the larger cycle, making it difficult for bottom-positioned bears to break even
If there is a pullback, the major support below is around 71500, and I think the possibility of breaking below this level again is low
There is a very small probability of falling back to 67000
