Currently, it seems very difficult to see a significant area of bearish concentration above 103,000. Although there were some previous expectations of market growth, the strength of this wave of increase has surpassed many people's imaginations. After all, there was no major positive news, yet such a strong rise occurred, which is indeed surprising.

If it stabilizes above 100,000 USD in May, then in June, the market will truly explode, officially starting the bull market trend for the second half of the year. Regardless of whether there is an interest rate cut in June, market speculation will definitely precede it. This means that starting in June, speculation on interest rate cut expectations will begin, accompanied by some positive news from tariff trade negotiations among various countries; the entire macro landscape is favorable.

For Bitcoin, breaking through 150,000 USD in the second half of the year, or even 200,000 USD, is not a fantasy. So hold onto your coins and wait for a full explosion. The altcoin market has risen too quickly; I have been advising everyone to buy on dips. If you haven't bought, chasing high now is really hard to do, so continue to observe. I believe the real cycle has not yet arrived. This round of altcoins may be due to emotional stimulation from Bitcoin breaking through the 100,000 mark, and the fundamentals have not changed substantially.

The direction of the market next depends on two key questions: one is whether bears still have the confidence to continue shorting, and the other is whether bulls will take over at high levels. If bears retreat and bulls hesitate to enter, the market may enter a new equilibrium phase.

Let's talk about the short-term altcoin market hotspots!

EOS is about to change its name, which has driven independent rises for EOS and BCH. Most other altcoins are still correlated. This wave has continued the trend of the strong getting stronger. SUI, its ecosystem, and some AI agents remain at the forefront. Some new coins from Binance, after experiencing a drop post-launch, have all shown signs of rebound. If Bitcoin continues to break 100,000, these sectors should still be the main theme. The significance of chasing after a 100,000 USD Bitcoin is not very great; I believe some new Binance coins that have dropped significantly have opportunities. The market makers have picked up low-priced chips, and there will always be opportunities to pump and dump; the strategy should still focus on short-term.

Four major mainstream altcoins that must be held for a long-term bull market! A big opportunity for you to get rich!

SUI

SUI This is a monthly level rise, those who have been following my public account know that I have been advising everyone to lay low. SUI is likely to be the leading coin of 2025. Firstly, Wall Street institutions are very optimistic about it. Secondly, it is a public chain. Thirdly, it is a new coin. SUI now resembles early Solana, with many opportunities. Moreover, SUI's Move language is also very well used; the technology is very solid. The objective technical reputation of SUI is significantly better than that of APT, with a better experience and evaluation from both ecosystem users and the developer community.

Previous projects with strong technical chains or strong technical genes often neglect community building and do not pay attention to the importance of memes. Previously, ICP also had strong technology and a high profile, but it did not focus enough on the community and meme aspects, resulting in no breakout projects in the ecosystem. To this day, no one remembers what memorable projects and images ICP had at that time, leading to a slow death of the entire ecosystem.

SUI now is like Ethereum's status in the DeFi sector during the 2020 bull market; everyone is rushing to enter. As the market heats up, high-quality altcoin projects and popular meme coins will take off first. The altcoin season's wind can no longer blow to every coin; once this wave passes, it will be clear who is harvesting and who is working.

ZK

ZK has performed well. This time, Ethereum's upgrade directly uses ZK zero-knowledge proof, which is beneficial for ZK. From a 4-hour perspective, ZK's trend is very strong. It should continue to rise. On May 1, I judged that ETH would lead the altcoins in a rebound, although at that time, most people in the market were bearish on altcoins. I said there would be an altcoin market, and many people said I was delusional. This is very normal; if most people judged correctly, there wouldn't be so many people losing money in this market.

Coins like Ethereum-based $ENS and $LDO, as well as others like SUI and Aave, have performed well. This wave has seen increases of 50% from the bottom, with ENS as an Ethereum domain, and LDO being the leader in Ethereum staking. Basically, every time ETH rises, these will not be absent. Therefore, I chose to let everyone lay low on Ethereum-related coins, memes, and AI. I am quite optimistic about these; the basic logic is sound.

XRP

Ripple reaches a settlement with the SEC, and XRP surges to 2.30 USD, with a breakthrough to 3 USD imminent! On September 5, 2025, Ripple reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), causing XRP's price to instantly jump to 2.30 USD, shaking the market. This historic settlement marks the end of years of disputes with regulators, and traders flocked into the market, pushing the price up by 8%.

According to the agreement, Ripple will pay 50 million USD to the SEC and unlock 125 million USD of escrow funds, part of which belongs to Ripple. This news allowed XRP to break through the 2.17 USD mark, reigniting market confidence. Some XRP are expected to continue rising, potentially surpassing the 3 USD mark.

This settlement is not only a milestone in the cryptocurrency field but also opens the door for XRP to better integrate into the traditional financial system. XRP's performance may welcome a greater leap, with targets of 2.40 USD and even 3 USD perhaps not far off!

WLD

Many people say WLD has no hope, but I don't think so. WLD is too hot, and it will enter a yearly trend soon. In the short term, it won't have its own independent trend but will follow the major trend, somewhat similar to the horseshoe in December 2019—creating a high and then crashing at the beginning of the bull market, only to become a dark horse in 2021. Such coins are often born out of despair; those who understand, understand. This coin has many critics, but it will rise when it is supposed to.

The last round rose from 1 to 10, which is a tenfold increase and is considered quite good. This round will likely also have good gains, for example, from 0.5 to 2 is also possible. WLD has been quietly accumulating for a long time; it will explode by the end of the month at the latest.
