1. Market Leaders Driving Momentum
- Bitcoin (BTC): Trading near $118,000, Bitcoin continues its upward trajectory, supported by record institutional inflows and regulatory clarity. Analysts project a potential surge to $162,353 by year-end, citing strong ETF demand and corporate adoption (e.g., Trump Media's $2B BTC reserve and Strategy's 597,325 BTC holdings) .
- Ethereum (ETH): Priced at $3,773, ETH faces a critical resistance zone of $3,877–$3,987. Breaking this could trigger a rally, especially with spot Ethereum ETFs attracting $727 million in daily inflows and whales accumulating over 681,000 ETH .
- Solana (SOL): Surging past a $101.9B market cap, SOL now ranks above Intel globally. Its 12% weekly gain reflects growing DeFi/NFT activity and liquidity improvements .
### 🚀 2. High-Potential Altcoins Nearing All-Time Highs
- BNB: At $761, BNB is 4% below its record $793. Bullish indicators like the Parabolic SAR suggest a breakout to $810 if it holds $741 support .
- XRP: Testing $3.66 (just 3.2% below its peak), XRP shows a "Golden Cross" signal. A sustained breakout could push it to $3.80 .
- Hyperliquid (HYPE): Up 13.88% weekly, HYPE trades at $46.89. Its proximity to the $49.87 ATH and bullish Ichimoku Cloud formation hint at a run toward $50 .
