$ASTER 🔻❓ Looking at #ASTER I don't think this drop happened because of one big bad news event. It feels more like a mix of things slowly pushing the price lower.
From what I've been reading, money has been moving out of many DeFi tokens and into stronger coins like Ethereum. When that happens, smaller projects often lose momentum because traders follow where the action is.
At the same time, buying interest looks weaker. Fewer traders are jumping in, so sellers have an easier time pushing the price down. Once support breaks, the move can speed up because there aren't enough buyers waiting below.
So, this looks more like normal market weakness than a single disaster. A mix of weaker sentiment, lower demand, supply concerns, and old trust issues seems to be keeping ASTER under pressure.
$DEXE $LAB $RAVE The biggest mistake I see in crypto isn't buying the wrong coin. It's buying at the wrong time. A good project bought at a bad price can still become a bad investment.
Ondo extends RWA dominance with new network – But will institutions use it?
The Ondo Network expands beyond RWAs with an eye on institutional blockchain infrastructure.
Institutional investors have long faced a tradeoff between execution speed and blockchain transparency.
Ondo Finance [ONDO] launched the Ondo Network to address that challenge through private execution, decentralized verification, and on-chain settlement.
Through this, institutions will gain centralized exchange-like performance without sacrificing non-custodial control.
Rather than simply increasing speed, the infrastructure improves settlement efficiency while preserving verifiable ownership.
As such, if adoption accelerates, Ondo may potentially create deeper levels of liquidity, attract new developers into its ecosystem, and increase the amount of assets being tokenized within its network. This would create further potential for overall ecosystem development.
Furthermore, it would encourage institutional participation across decentralized finance while giving institutions greater confidence in scalable, transparent, high-performance market infrastructure over time.
Litecoin network activity triples – Can $LTC finally reclaim $50? #ltcusdt How institutional partnerships are pushing real network growth on Litecoin ledger.
Litecoin [LTC] is gradually gaining momentum but remains stuck in a bearish market structure. Meanwhile, LTC’s network activity continues to grow steadily, yet the altcoin’s price is lagging on a broader scale.
What’s behind Litecoin’s network activity growth?
Litecoin’s Adjusted Economic Value (AEV) has more than tripled over the last year and continues to grow steadily. According to data from FORCEX, payments rose from 8.81 million LTC to 30.95 million LTC in the same period.
The AEV shows the actual amount of LTC tokens sent, excluding the unspent transaction output (UTXO). As such, it shows there is real ledger usage growth, which is bullish for the whole ecosystem.
The gross value moved, including UTXO, has almost doubled from 38.21 million LTC to 58.43 million LTC tokens. This shows the AEV is growing more than the entire transaction volume, indicating usage is up.
Can LTC price recover?
On the charts, Litecoin was attempting a recovery as the price moved above a slanting support after the 9-day SMA crossed above the 21-day SMA.
This followed six weeks of consolidation between $41 and $45, beneath the $50 resistance. However, LTC has now broken out of that consolidation and appears headed toward $50, a former support zone that has turned into resistance.
Moreover, the altcoin is slowing down after retesting the slanting support level. This bearish trend persists despite a commendable average transaction volume of 862.5K LTC per day.
$9.76M $SUI set for unlock on August 1 – Will price bound past $0.70 support? Sui enters a decisive phase as recurring token unlocks test the market's ability to sustain its recovery.
SUI’s recovery remains under pressure as scheduled token releases continue expanding the circulating supply. Although token unlocks follow the project’s vesting plan, they can influence market sentiment when prices remain far below previous highs.
Against that backdrop, another 13.72 million Sui [SUI] worth $9.76 million will unlock on the 1st of August. This follows 22.6 million tokens released across four events during the past 30 days.
Can support withstand new supply?
While the upcoming unlock highlights potential supply pressure, price action suggests investors have not reacted with broad panic. Instead, SUI continues consolidating after its recent recovery attempt. This indicates that the market is waiting for fresh direction.
The token rebounded from the $0.70 support zone to a local high near $0.7875 by the 21st of July before retracing to $0.7183. Despite the retracement, the token traded near $0.7193, posting a 1.7% daily gain at press time.
Moreover, the recent decline developed gradually rather than through aggressive selling, suggesting buyers continue to defend key levels. RSI has cooled to 43.59 after approaching 60, reflecting fading momentum without signaling capitulation.
Likewise, the MACD histogram has flattened, while the MACD and signal lines continue converging instead of producing a decisive bearish crossover. As a result, that leaves $0.70 as the critical support.
Holding it would preserve the broader recovery structure despite weakening momentum. However, losing that level could expose $0.6492, whereas reclaiming $0.7875 would confirm buyers are regaining control after the recent consolidation phase.
$LINK is starting to get attention again after a big whale quietly bought around 1.58 million LINK, worth about $13.2 million, by withdrawing coins from Binance over the past week. Usually, when whales move coins off an exchange, it means they plan to hold instead of sell. That's why many traders see it as a positive sign.
Even with this big buy, LINK didn't suddenly pump. The price is still moving in a small range, which shows the market is being careful. Buyers are still active, but they are not chasing the price higher yet.
One interesting thing is that most of the top Binance traders are still betting on the upside. Nearly 70% of them are holding long positions. That shows confidence, but it also means if the price drops unexpectedly, many of those positions could be forced to close, creating extra selling pressure.
Looking at the chart, the picture is a bit mixed. LINK is still holding above the important $8.18 support, which is a good sign. But the buying momentum is getting weaker. The recent move up has started to slow down, and sellers are slowly taking back short-term control.
Another level to watch is around $8.215. A lot of liquidation liquidity is sitting there, and price often gets pulled towards these areas before making its next move. If sellers stay in control, LINK could test that level first.
Overall, the whale buying gives confidence for the bigger picture, but the short-term chart is asking traders to stay patient. As long as LINK holds its support, the bullish idea is still alive. But if buyers can't step in with more strength, the price may dip a little before trying another move higher.
Hyperliquid: Can $1.2M in token burns help $HYPE flip $60? Hyperliquid generated $1.4 million in fees and burned 20.64K HYPE worth $1.2 million.
Hyperliquid [HYPE] has historically deployed deflationary mechanisms to control supply and absorb market pressure. The project has mostly used the protocol’s revenue for token buybacks and burns to achieve these goals.
The momentum remains weak
Although the demand currently holds strong, it remains insufficient to flip the trend bullish. In fact, when we look at the RSI Momentum Trend, this indicator sits above the market price.
Such a setup usually suggests that sellers still have significant control of the market. As such, the indicator now acts as dynamic resistance.
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator also currently sits below zero, at around -7.69, further confirming the trend’s weakness. However, the price remains on an upward trajectory; it must flip the RSI Momentum Trend to signal a reversal.
This means Hyperliquid needs a daily close above $60 to strengthen the uptrend. Failure to do so will increase downside risk, and HYPE will pull back toward $56 again.
$DEXE BIG FALL🚨 I was expecting at least a quick bounce, but nothing... slowly moving 😅 You could short or long it here, but the funding fees are pretty high. 😅 At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it drop below $1 eventually. Either way, it’s a very risky trade. ⚠️ #Crypto #dexe
$ZAMA Protocol rises 27% amid whale support – ‘Institutions need privacy to operate’ #Zama All you need to know about Zama Protocol.
Zama Protocol [ZAMA] is up more than 27% in the past 24 hours, leading the privacy sector in daily gains.
The daily volume has surged by over 185%, reaching $100 million, almost equal to the token’s market cap at $110.38 million. However, the market cap is 5 times lower than its fully diluted value (FDV) of $564 million.
The liquidity is moderate, with a liquidity-to-market-cap ratio of 2.51%. This means the token is safe for average retail investors, but institutional traders face execution challenges.
What is fueling ZAMA’s price?
Despite its TGE happening in early February 2026, the privacy protocol has garnered support from some whales and institutions.
For instance, a whale is relentlessly accumulating from the Kraken exchange. In the past two days, the whale has bought over 28 million ZAMA with the recent transaction of 14.26 million tokens worth $571K.
Over the past 125 days, the wallet has acquired a total of 98.18 million ZAMA tokens, valued at $3.93 million. This indicates the released supply is being absorbed aggressively, explaining why the altcoin is rallying despite daily token unlocks.
🔸Can ZAMA keep surging?
The daily chart showed ZAMA broke out of an ascending trend channel that it has respected since TGE in February.
It has printed a new all-time high of $0.05171, with bulls showing they are gaining momentum as per MACD bars. The CVD is also mostly bullish with more than 40 million ZAMA bought in Binance’s spot market.
The consecutive 4-day rally that started at the trendline support level around $0.0300 has led to a breach of the upper trendline resistance. However, a bigger community can support such rallies, but the number of ZAMA holders is at 7.64K.
Moreover, there is potential for a post-breakout retracement, which could take the price to $0.045 or below.
Bears tighten grip on $AVAX as open interest rises alongside falling prices
AVAX traders can maintain a bearish bias but also be wary of a short squeeze.
The Avalanche bulls’ struggles have centered around $7 recently In a recent report, AMBCrypto detailed how the altcoin’s price trends were stalling even after a 20x surge in daily transactions onchain. The long-term price trend of Avalanche was pointed downward.
It did not help that in the past 24 hours Bitcoin [BTC] fell below the $65.5k local support zone and was trading below $65k too at the time of writing. If this selling persists, it could trigger a bearish market sentiment shift, dragging AVAX further south.
The longer-term downtrend saw a new swing low registered at $5.68. On the 12-hour timeframe price chart above, this has given rise to a bearish swing structure. A bullish structure would have come into play had the $7.08 swing high been broken.
It was tested in early July, but not broken. The subsequent rejection has dragged prices lower. Over the past two weeks, AVAX has traded between $6.38 and $6.78.
At press time, the band of support around $6.40 appeared to have been breached. This could accelerate the downtrend and drive prices toward $6 and below in the coming days.
