GM to everyone praying for a V reversal. 

I have to admit, Bitcoin is looking mighty promising with these moves off the bottom. The next big liquidity cluster is now all the way up, around seventy thousand. This will change along the way, of course, but it’s looking good, bruv. 

ETH/BTC, on the other hand, looks absolutely dismal. Is ETH really destined to be just a gas token for buying MOG? Time will tell, but at least the ETF inflows have turned positive in the past few days, raking in about $60 to $90 million.

Will the herd be right this time, and will everyone aping SOL and selling their ETH win? Let’s get back to this. 

In other news, the neverending XRP versus SEC story just finally concluded. The Ripple team is surely popping bottles right now, as they only have to pay $125 million instead of $2 billion, and XRP is officially ruled NOT a security. This bodes well for the rest of the crypto market, too.

Another certainly bullish development is the confirmation of FTX repayments, with as much as $12.7 billion flowing back into creditors' pockets early next year. Now, that’s a proper liquidity injection if I ever saw one. In my opinion, this cycle is far from over.

KMNO/USDT 3D Bybit

Kamino is the biggest lending protocol on Solana, second only to Jito in TVL. According to Zoomer’s well-timed shill today, it’s the ‘AAVE of Solana’. They TGE’ed three months back in a bad market with an airdrop overhang.

That looks like it’s run its course, with a nice Bart bottom after the Monday dump. The RSI bull div and 10/20 MA crossed bullish at the end of last month. 

The dump buyback puts us back above the high timeframe resistance. Maybe we retest before higher, but it’s looking good to run it back towards the highest 3D candle close.

Jito as THE Solana Beta?

Source: Token Terminal

Same as ETH underperforms, SOL continues to show massive strength. This is, of course, reflected in its ecosystem tokens. One of the absolutely essential ones is Jito (JTO)

Simply said, Jito is Solana's main liquid staking project. As the leader, it rakes in $182M in revenue annually and currently holds around $1.73B in staked assets.

Now, looking at Solana's strength and then JTO’s chart, it’s pretty clear this is one of the best bets if you’re bullish on further SOL appreciation. 

DYOR and all that, of course. None of this is financial advice; it's just me rambling.

What Are The Top Projects In The Berachain Ecosystem?

Research

There are loads of exciting protocols being built on Berachain, but you're likely struggling to keep up with the sheer mass.

So here's an article that covers a bunch that has caught our eye.

To save you doom scrolling.

Sure would be funny if the ETF flows suddenly turned into weeks of positive inflows, wouldn't it?

Looking around, I think we’re on the final up-and-down steps leading to the most extreme phase of the bull run. 

Bitcoin couldn’t move, altcoins got beat up, and everyone thought we’d never leave the range. Then, suddenly, we rocketed into a bull run so quick and massive that anyone not in position missed the main move and had to start chasing.

All we need is a bit of patience now.

stay safe homies,
