If you’ve traded through 2017 or 2021, you already know this: Altseasons don’t begin with Bitcoin.
They start with $ETH flipping the switch.
And that switch? It’s $ETH/$BTC breaking above structural resistance. In this cycle, that’s the 0.038 level.
Right now, ETH/BTC is forming a clean cup-and-handle + bull flag, pointing to a 30–55% move if confirmed. That’s not just technical alpha, it’s a macro trigger.
● Why ETH/BTC Matters More Than BTC Dominance
ETH/BTC is the cleanest expression of “risk-on” within crypto. When $ETH gains on $BTC, it signals that investors are:
→ Moving down the risk curve, → Positioning for growth, → Seeking higher beta.
It’s not just a signal, it’s a liquidity unlock.
When $ETH starts outperforming, the market doesn’t just rotate into $ETH. It expands:
→ L2 tokens rally. → $ETH-native yield protocols regain attention. → Modular infrastructure plays get re-rated. → Real-world assets and Perps catch a bid.
● How the Rotation Could Play Out
Here’s a data-backed look at where capital may rotate once $ETH breaks out:
Rotation Tier 1: ETH-Native Infra
+ $PENDLE — Yield narratives lead every $ETH breakout
+ $RENZO, $PUFFER — LRTs are $ETH-beta with leverage
While others pitch “potential,” Mawari is already powering XR streaming to the masses.
@mawariXR is the world's first DePIN for spatial computing, with notable partners like T-Mobile, Nankai Railway, Netflix, and more.
> 50k+ hours streamed. As Mawari scales, more XR apps will launch momentum is building. This Tuesday, a live demo with top VTubers at Osaka Expo shows what’s coming.
> Meta shipped 2.6M headsets last quarter. Mawari is device agnostic, it works with vision pro, meta quest, xReal and all major manufacturers.
> XR demand is exploding.
Mawari = decentralized Akamai of the XR cloud. Guardian Nodes = your piece of that infra.
The upcoming DIO lets you operate Guardian Nodes; infrastructure that grows as XR demand explodes.
How is Mawari redefining node sales?
• No “node sale FOMO". • No “maybe one day” roadmaps. • Just real streaming, real usage, and real value.
Infra plays will print when the next wave hits, and Mawari's XR infra makes it possible.
Now that April has ended, looking back, it’s clear that the month marked a turning point for crypto.
◢ Here's why:
• Total crypto market cap jumped +27.7%, signaling strong momentum.
• Over $9B in weekly inflows, the highest in over a year.
• Stablecoin supply surged to $233B, with $1B+ in $USDT minted in just a week, a sign of fresh capital entering the market.
• Bitcoin ETFs saw $3B+ inflows last week alone, led by BlackRock’s IBIT ($1.6B in 9 days).
• $ETH/$BTC is rebounding, historically a signal that altcoin season is near.
◢ Macro tailwinds are strengthening:
The U.S. dollar (DXY) is weakening, bond yields are falling, and markets are now pricing in 70%+ odds of Fed rate cuts by September.
On-chain data confirms a clear trend accumulation is underway, and stablecoins are being deployed. Capital is positioning itself for the next leg up.
✍️ Conclusion
After months of chop and hesitation, April showed the first real shift in momentum. Liquidity is flowing back into the system....and this time, it could be structural.
$SUI is breaking out of stealth mode and into price discovery powered by explosive DEX volume, ecosystem speculation, and institutional entry.
The stage is set for $SUI to lead the next leg of the altcoin rotation.
→ Catalyst
1. Grayscale $SUI Trust launch on April 24 for accredited investors institutional gateway unlocked.

2. @xPortalApp Mastercard Integration — $SUI now spendable via Apple Pay/Google Pay across 20,000+ European merchants.

3. Memecoin explosion — triple-digit rallies in ecosystem tokens ($TARDI, $AGENT S, $BLUB) bring user activity and fresh liquidity.
4. Binance listing of $DEEP (@DeepBookonSui) futures.

→ Why You Should Buy Now
$SUI just flipped $AVAX and $LINK in market cap after a 73% weekly rally, and volume + address activity data shows this is not a short squeeze—it’s a structural re-rating.
The rally is underpinned by real ecosystem traction, massive retail speculation, and early signs of institutional demand.
→ My Price Prediction
• +73% weekly
• From $2.11 on April 21 → $3.72 on April 25
• Broke out of a falling wedge to reclaim key resistance at $3.30
Next targets: $4.50–$5.10 zone, then potential price discovery to $5.35 (ATH) and $11.50 (Elliott Wave projection)
→ Rotation Narrative
Sui is now the epicenter of the “Layer 1 rotation,” pulling liquidity from underperforming chains. Traders are chasing ecosystem yield, memecoins, and the strongest narratives—and right now, SUI has all three.
As TVL, users, and DEX volumes explode, Sui is not just another pump—it’s becoming the Solana of this cycle’s second leg.
Expect continued upside as momentum rotates from stale L1s and mid-tier alts into $SUI and its ecosystem.
12–20%+ APY by minting USDD with $sTRX. Unlike CEX platforms, there's no cap on how much you can earn at this rate.
Up to 20%+ APY on KuCoin, https://t.co/uV1PHdznj4, BingX, EXMO, and AscendEX.
For a safer, more hands-off approach, use the PSM module to swap USDT to USDD and earn around 8% APY on JustLend or HTX Earn.
Each strategy has its trade-offs, but all beat the standard stablecoin returns. Whether you’re chasing high yields or looking for reliable passive income, USDD has a spot for you.
In 2024, over $27.6 trillion was settled through stablecoins more than @Visa, and 7.7% more than @Mastercard.
We’re watching stablecoins evolve from "DeFi money" into global settlement rails.
◢ Some key stats:
> 95% of volume settled on $ETH > Solana is catching serious momentum > $USDT, $USDC, $DAI dominate flows > $HSBC and $ANZ are already earning off this (custody + payment fees) > Stablecoins now hold US Treasuries top 15 globally
This isn't just crypto doing well. This is crypto becoming the backend of global finance.
Quietly and efficiently.
When I think about on-chain liquidity today, I’m not just looking at DEX volumes or token flows, I’m watching where stablecoin velocity is accelerating.
