GM, do you still have some hope left?
In my humble opinion, all hope is not lost yet. BTC bounced pretty cleanly from yesterday’s $93k dump level. Right now, it would be nice to conquer $96.8k short term, sending us into the final battle (well, one of them) of $100k again.
Bitcoin might also benefit from quite a sizeable Saylor bid soon, as we heard the main bull himself wants to raise another 2 billion dollars to keep acquiring BTC. Saylors sail, I guess.
Moreover, Tether printed a nice $1b USDT yesterday. Massive prints such as this one usually happen just before the market turns around. Add to that the fact that the S&P 500 just closed at an all-time high, and things might start lining up.
While we wait for everything to fall back together, it’s worth checking out the Sonic and Berachain ecosystems. Not only are there multiple ways to get yield during this boring chop, but the ecosystem projects are absolutely blowing up with gains. For example, Shadow and Navi are very promising on Sonic. Keep an eye out.

GOGLZ/wS 1D Shadow Exchange

There was a lot of bullish activity on Sonic today. Shadow Dex’s token led the charge, and they also seem to be capturing most of the volume.
GOGLZ is breaking out on high volume from a bull flag consolidation below the VWAP. I bought a small bag here and will look to buy a pullback in the purple box if I can get it. They have a partnership with another Sonic meme, $INDI. Check out the tweet for more information.

If you’re bored by the choppy markets, there’s always some CT drama to catch up to. If I were you, I’d check on the LIBRA story background; it has some really spicy details.
