By John Isige The altcoin market is once again approaching its 2021 levels: is it ready for a breakout? Altcoin capitalization has come close to the historic marks last seen in 2021, fueling expectations across the crypto community. The market is currently valued at $1.66 trillion, just below the $1.71 trillion record, a level many analysts view as the starting point for a new growth phase.
By John Isige The SOL/USD pair continues to move within a long-term uptrend, forming a corresponding ascending channel. Last week, the price corrected to five-week lows around 190.95, after which it resumed growth and is currently testing the middle Bollinger Band line at 224.70. A breakout above this level could pave the way toward 250.00 (Murray level [8/8]) and 265.62 (Murray level [+1/8], the upper boundary of the ascending channel). However, consolidation below 203.12 (Murray level [5/8], 61.8% Fibonacci retracement) may lead to a decline toward 183.80 (50.0% Fibonacci retracement) and 171.88 (Murray level [3/8]), potentially signaling an exit from the channel.
By John Isige Ethereum is heating up again, closing in on critical resistance levels — and traders are bracing for what could be a massive shakeout
By John Isige The XRP/USD pair has been trading within a sideways range of 3.1250–2.7344 (Murray levels [4/8]–[2/8]) for the second month. Last week, it tested the lower boundary of this corridor, and after breaking below 2.7344 (Murray level [0/8]), it is now preparing to extend its decline toward 2.5391 (Murray level [–2/8]) and 2.3438 (Murray level [6/8], W1). Otherwise, if the price remains within the horizontal channel, a breakout above the middle Bollinger Band at 2.9297 (Murray level [2/8]) could trigger a return to the upper limit at 3.1250 (Murray level [4/8]).

By John Isige The SOL/USD pair continues to trade within a long-term uptrend channel. Last week, the price tested its upper boundary after the Fed’s interest rate cut and the launch of a Ripple ETF, climbing toward 250.00 (Murray level [8/8]). However, the bulls failed to hold the level, and a downward correction followed. At present, the pair is approaching 203.12 (Murray level [5/8], 61.8% Fibonacci retracement). A breakout below this level could extend the decline toward 183.80 (50.0% Fibonacci retracement) and 171.88 (Murray level [3/8]). For buyers, the key threshold lies at the middle Bollinger Band around 227.50; a move above it would reopen the path toward 250.00 and 265.62 (Murray level [+1/8]).
