$SOL ๐
Forming a high-probability bullish continuation setup on the 1H chart. Price has repeatedly defended the strong horizontal support at $78 across multiple months, while respecting a clear ascending trendline since early February.
A decisive break above trendline could trigger a clean move toward resistance. Invalidation would be a break below $78.
$BTC hanging around $90k range while most alt coins sit at all time lows. R/R in 2026 is higher than it's ever been. Cycles are different now. Real utility will shine, everything else will fade out and die.
2026 will be different, trade smart, trade opportunity, avoid hype.
$BTC During this sideways chop, the BTC funding rate & Spot premium has remained roughly the same.
Price is compressing though so I am expecting a larger move here in the next 1-2 weeks.
Best to just wait for that to occur for confirmation though and not chop yourself up.
EOY OUTLOOK 2025
Q1 2026 - Green?
Alt coin total mcap down 20% in 2025 after pumping over 100% in 2024.
Recent correction after peaking above $1T suggests we're in a consolidation phase, but several factors point to potential recovery and growth, potentially pushing the alt market cap toward 1.5Tโ2T by year-end 2026 if institutional inflows and sector-specific booms materialise.
If the end-2025 dip is a reset, alts could rally strongly in Q1, but it'll be selectiveโfocus on RWAs, DeFi, privacy, and AI integrations for the biggest gains.
80% of alts WILL trend to zero due to poor tokenomics or lack of utility.
Overall, 2026 feels like the dawn of crypto's "institutional era," where slow-and-steady infrastructure beats shiny hype.
