The contrast between now and 2022 or 2023 is almost surreal. Back then, a lot of people were scared shitless by every other SEC tweet, lawsuit, subpoena; you name it.

And now? And now? We’ve got the Orange Man himself promising to freeze and overhaul all anti-crypto policies enacted by the SEC—starting as soon as next week.

On top of that, Trump came out with a great idea just before the start of the real alt season: making a reserve of coins made in the USA. For now, the frontrunners seem to be mainly SOL and XRP, with both showing significant strength in the chart already.

Ethereum is again getting mogged by SOL, which is evident in the SOL/ETH chart today. Nevertheless, when we look at Trump’s project LibertyFi wallet, it reveals he holds mainly ETH worth around $55m. So, I wouldn’t be so hasty about writing off ETH entirely here.

Speaking of ETH, we’ll likely find out soon whether it’s truly in trouble. The ETH/BTC chart is now hovering around the last support zone, and if the price starts closing wicks under that area, serious questions about ETH’s viability as an investment will arise. But we also know that crypto charts reach extremes just before rapid reversals, so there’s that.

With all that said, BTC is currently making a higher low inside the range, and the likelihood of it marching to $120k during the next leg-up should not be underestimated.

Things are bullish, friends, stay focused, and don’t do anything too hasty.

QUAIN/SOL 1H Raydium

Quain is a Real World Assets AI assistant that fits nicely into the current DeFAI meta. The chart ran up hard just over a week ago and has just completed a huge 80% pullback. It looks to be in reaccumulation here, with the market cap now only $4.7m.

Don’t ask me what the ‘quantum-powered’ tech they are referring to is, but the PA looks good for a run back to the highs and potentially higher, especially with DeFAI being the hottest meta on the block right now.

2 Interesting AI picks

I know AI corner is just below, but degens are simply all over AI right now.

SYMP caught my eye since I have the same taste as the below-mentioned whale. Looking further, we can see that Sympson AI is being built by ex-Consensys, Kraken, and Metamask devs.

It’s also supposedly the first cross-chain capable AI agent, aiming to do things like perpetual trading on multiple chains.

Taking a note here: it’s very high risk, and this is not financial advice at all.

Another one that is perhaps even more interesting is the so-called “Aave of AI,” T3AI. Quite a massive volume on this one, and similarly to Symspon, it is just retesting the all-time highs.

Many cases like that.

As I finish writing this, news about the possibility of as many as four upcoming rate cuts in the US emerge.

This past week is a perfect example of how getting fudded out of positions during a bull market is a big mistake. Things can reverse quickly, which goes for price action and also the news feed.
