🎉【ETH leads the charge! The altcoin awakening season is online, and memecoins are being sidelined?】🌋

Have you noticed that the crypto world, which seemed to be hibernating for a whole June, suddenly 'woke up' in July, as if someone slapped the altcoins awake and said, 'The bull market isn’t over, get up!'

Sure enough, SEI, SUI, XRP, and even big brother Ethereum (ETH) have all started to become restless. Yes, the altcoin season has truly arrived.

But this wave is different from before—most of the altcoin surges you saw before were led by meme coins, like dogs, frogs, and hats, doubling at a whim. This time? No tricks, Layer-1s are standing up on their own!

📌 Layer-1 blockchains: This wave is led by technical players.

According to many analysts (not just those guys on Twitter with monkey avatars), this wave of altcoin market is led by infrastructure-level blockchain projects. This means that the market is finally starting to pay attention to 'who is really doing the work' rather than 'who can shout the loudest'.

Ethereum is the 'main character' of this wave.

🚀 Ethereum takes off! Breaking through the encirclement, launching the altcoin counteroffensive.

ETH made a beautiful surge today, rising over 9% in a single day, breaking through $3,330, becoming the vanguard leading the charge. Not long ago, it was struggling at the $2,800 mark.

Renowned analyst Michaël van de Poppe looked at this wave of market activity and stated directly: 'The altcoin bull market is back! And Ethereum has surged to the front line!'

Technically, ETH is also at a very critical position playing 'breakthrough'.

It is at the tail end of a large four-year converging triangle, about to break through! It’s said that it only needs a 9.7% increase to enter the so-called 'parabolic rise' mode—translated to plain language: it will shoot up like a rocket, not a slow push, but boom! Straight up!

💼 Institutions are also restless: $32 million poured into ETH!

What’s even more explosive is that institutional funds are starting to flow into ETH. The listed company SharpLink Gaming recently splashed $32 million to buy 9,424 ETH at once. This is not a 'small gamble for fun', this is 'I really believe in you'.

You heard that right; this company didn’t buy Bitcoin but chose Ethereum! What does this indicate? ETH is more appealing to them than BTC.

In the past few years, Ethereum's narrative has upgraded from 'coin issuance platform' to 'DeFi operating system + NFT origin + AI infrastructure', and after merging with POS, it’s environmentally friendly, plus it can be staked for passive income—who wouldn’t love that?

📈 Technical patterns are also signaling: it's about to rise!

Chart analysts have also given signals: ETH is currently forming a very standard 'cup and handle' pattern. You may have heard this term but not fully understand it; simply put, it looks like a coffee cup and often indicates a price surge after it appears.

History does not simply repeat itself, but there are always astonishing similarities. The last time Ethereum drew this pattern was at the end of 2023, followed by a 100% price surge. This time? It’s promising.

Analyst @cryptosBatman stated: As long as ETH holds above $3,100, the next target price range is likely to be $3,800 to $4,000.

If another wave of 'unexpected' good news comes, breaking through the historical high (4,800) is not impossible.

🚨【Whale liquidations + ETF competition, ETH's 'anger level' is about to max out】🚨

Did you think Bitcoin's recent rise was a bit 'mysterious'? Actually, it’s whales battling it out!

A big player shorted ETH with 18x leverage and has now lost $3.5 million (let's feel sorry for him for three seconds). If ETH suddenly breaks through $3,500, this guy might be 'liquidated to nothing'—that’s a short squeeze, which can directly push ETH to the ceiling!

Meanwhile, Ethereum is quietly 'usurping' the ETF stage. Originally, Bitcoin dominated the ETF scene, but now ETH is frequently appearing, starting to attract hot institutional attention:

“Hmm? This Ethereum seems more flexible, can be staked, can issue coins, and can even do AI?”

Conclusion: ETH is not only surging in price, but even its attention is about to surpass Bitcoin!

🧨【XRP is also getting restless; the 7% surge behind it is actually...】🧨

XRP suddenly became unruly in the past few days, rising over 7% without warning, leaving many asking, 'Isn’t it still in a lawsuit? Why did it suddenly bounce up?'

Don't rush, let me recap for you:

📌 1. Is the legal battle about to have a result?

Although it hasn't been officially announced, it's rumored in the market that Ripple and the SEC's issues may soon reach a resolution! If they can settle, or if the court makes a definitive ruling, XRP is expected to relist on U.S. exchanges, directly opening the door to institutional investment!

📌 2. On-chain whales are secretly moving assets again?

On-chain data shows that XRP's large transaction volume has suddenly skyrocketed. To translate: whales (big players) might be secretly reallocating, setting up for a wave. Every time they do this, big moves tend to follow.

📌 3. The overall environment for altcoins is also lifting them up.

SEI, SUI, and ETH are taking turns charging forward, and the atmosphere for altcoins is heating up, so XRP naturally wants to take advantage of the hype.

🚨【BTC 'recedes'? ETH and XRP are ready to ascend!】🚨

Bitcoin breaks through $111,000, even nearing $120,000, everyone is ecstatic while starting to notice a magical phenomenon:

👉 Bitcoin's dominance is starting to feel a bit unstable!

It sounds like a palace intrigue drama, but this is the old plot of the crypto world—every time BTC charges first, altcoins follow with a counterattack. This is not a wild guess; history has proven it:

📜 2017? BTC takes off first, followed by ETH/XRP!

📜 2020? BTC rises first, altcoins follow closely, a joyful scene!

Does this rhythm seem familiar, like a familiar pattern is reappearing?

🌊 ETH and XRP: brewing a 'big' wave.

💥 ETH is currently eyeing a major level: $3,500. As long as it breaks through, it could be the starting point for a new round of gains! Plus, with whale liquidations and ETF topics still hot, ETH could 'grab a big hammer and break through the ceiling' at any moment.

💥 XRP is also no pushover. It surged 7% in the past few days, and on-chain data shows that big players (whales) are quietly shifting their holdings. Moreover, the century-long battle between Ripple and the SEC may soon reach a conclusion. Once the lawsuit ends, XRP could list on more exchanges and attract institutional funds, which is not a dream!

🔍 But don’t rush to go all in, trading volume is key.

A reminder from an old trader: Don’t go all in just because it’s rising!

Although ETH and XRP seem to be ready to take off, there is still one key thing needed—a stable trading volume to confirm the trend. It’s like a sports car; no matter how loud the engine sounds, if the accelerator isn’t fully pressed, you can’t rush out.

So, the smart move is: keep an eye on trading volume, understand support levels, wait for a 'confirmation signal', and then consider increasing your position.
