Following the broader market rally, BTC/USD gained 21.0% last week and reached 79,500.00. At the time of this technical snapshot, the pair has surrendered a small part of the advance and is consolidating near 77,200.00.
By John Isige Since the middle of last month, XRP/USD has been actively declining as part of the broader market trend. During this period, the price left the medium-term sideways range of 1.3671–1.5136, corresponding to the Murray levels [4/8]–[7/8], breaking through its lower boundary. It is now testing the 1.1718 mark, the Murray level [0/8], which has remained difficult to break since February of this year. Consolidation below this level would allow the price to reach the targets of 1.0742, the Murray level [–2/8], 0.9300, and 0.7812, the Murray level [2/8] on W1. At the same time, if the price breaks above 1.3671, the Murray level [4/8], reinforced by the middle line of the Bollinger Bands, the bulls may recover previously lost positions and move toward 1.5136, the Murray level [7/8], and 1.6600, the Murray level [+2/8].
By John Isige SOL/USD has been declining for the third consecutive week as part of the broader market trend, attempting to consolidate below 75.00, the Murray level [0/8], under pressure from geopolitical and monetary factors.
By John Isige The crypto market has turned sharply lower again, with Bitcoin falling to its lowest level since April — and for investors, this may only be a preview of a deeper correction.
By John Isige Bitcoin is once again falling short of many investors’ expectations. Instead of flowing into crypto, capital is moving toward the hottest sectors of the stock market.
By John Isige Since the beginning of last month, ETH/USD has been actively losing value: the pair has already reversed from the upper boundary of the sideways range of 2437.50–2250.00, corresponding to the Murray levels [7/8]–[4/8], broken through its lower boundary, and is now trying to consolidate below 2000.00, the Murray level [0/8]. This level appears to be key for the bears, as a breakout below it would signal an exit from the long-term ascending channel. If successful, the next targets will be 1875.00, the Murray level [–2/8], and 1746.00, the area of the February lows. Meanwhile, consolidation above 2125.00, the Murray level [2/8], reinforced by the middle line of the Bollinger Bands, would allow buyers to recover previously lost positions and reach the areas of 2375.00, the Murray level [6/8], and 2500.00, the Murray level [8/8].

By John Isige Tron was long regarded as a project that serious crypto circles dismissed with a tired smile. The TRX token launched in 2017 as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. The whitepaper drew early plagiarism accusations, Vitalik Buterin publicly mocked its copy-paste character, and Arthur Cheong, CEO and CIO of DeFiance Capital, called the project "vaporware."
By John Isige SOL/USD is trading within a medium-term sideways range of 91.00–75.00, periodically attempting to break through its upper boundary, but so far without success. At the moment, quotes have consolidated below the middle line of the Bollinger Bands and the 84.38 mark, the Murray level [3/8], preparing to continue moving toward 75.00, the Murray level [0/8], 68.75, the Murray level [–2/8], and 62.50, the Murray level [2/8] on W1. If the price breaks above 90.62, the Murray level [5/8], reinforced by the middle line of the Bollinger Bands, cryptocurrency growth may resume toward the targets of 100.00, the Murray level [8/8], 107.40, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, and 125.00, the Murray level [4/8] on W1.
By John Isige Ethereum is under significant pressure in May. According to an analysis by Santiment, sentiment around the second-largest cryptocurrency has deteriorated sharply. Over the past 15 days, Ethereum's market capitalization has fallen more than 11% — while Hyperliquid was hitting a new all-time high. The key question, however, is whether the price declined because of new negative developments, or whether the pessimistic narratives are emerging as a reaction to the falling price. Santiment leans toward the latter, pointing to a mix of weak price performance, ETF outflows, internal Ethereum debates, and declining on-chain activity as the primary drivers of negative sentiment.
For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer. Macro still matters too: rates, dollar strength, and risk appetite shape inflows and outflows. Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
