WILL THIS BE THE TRIGGER FOR THE MUCH-DESIRED ALTCOIN SEASON?
TOTAL3 is the chart that shows the total market capitalization of the top 125 cryptocurrencies, excluding BTC and ETH. TOTAL3 reached its ATH at the peak of the last bull run. If you look at the chart below, you can see that this ATH has already been tested in the current cycle in November 2024 and is currently being retested. Will we see a breakout of this ATH and will this be the trigger for the much-desired bull run that we all hope and desire? Leave your opinion below and tell us what you think...
Jobless claims measure the number of people who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time during the past week, and what we saw was a slight increase in these numbers.
This is the first economic data from the United States since Trump's inauguration, but the impact on the market varies from week to week. A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD.
If we take into account the previous moments, the increase in unemployment insurance increases the probability of a rate cut. The slowdown in job creation in the labor market and the increase in the unemployment rate can lead to a rate cut.
So we may be in a new moment, in which the FED reviews its previous position of not having any more interest rate cuts for now and once again reconsiders this position, which would undoubtedly be very good for the crypto market.
SOLANA DEFLATIONARY? IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE...
Currently, 50% of transaction fees on Solana are burned, which reduces the total supply of tokens. However, this is still not enough to completely offset inflation.
According to data from Blockworks, the SOL burn rate varies between 10% and 20% of issuance, depending on the level of network activity. The SIMD-0228 proposal estimates that, with a 70% staking, inflation would be reduced by approximately 1% per year, representing a 20.9% drop in total token issuance.
If this trend continues and on-chain activity increases, SOL could become a deflationary asset, reducing selling pressure and increasing the value of the cryptocurrency in the long term.
The SIMD-0228 proposal has received strong support from influential figures on the Solana network, such as Anza engineer trent.sol. Many ecosystem participants believe that reducing inflation will strengthen the adoption and value of $SOL , improving its position against other crypto assets.
Notice the similarities in the graphs of the last three months. Breakout at the beginning of the month, then sideways accumulation with tops lower than the previous tops and support at the previous highest monthly top. Then again breakout to new ATH.
Once again I ask and repeat, will this month be the same as the previous one? I don't know that, but as there are no copies, the similarities cannot be ignored.
When analyzing the market, it is essential to use a series of indicators that will help you obtain a series of insights necessary for making decisions. One of the main metrics in this sense is Dominance, and believe me that it is not just Bitcoin that has a dominance chart.
The graph below shows Solana's dominance, and one thing really caught my attention. The similarities between the 2021 cycle and the current one are enormous. We had 4 top breakout attempts and one bottom confirmation (these are the similarities). After that, in 2025 we still don't know, but in 2021 we had 4 months of growth with an increase of around 500%.
Will this cycle be the same as the previous one? I don't know that, but as there are no copies, the similarities cannot be ignored.
Several factors influence this dominance. In times of uncertainty, such as economic crises or instability in traditional markets, investors tend to seek safety in Bitcoin, seen as a store of value, which increases its dominance. Furthermore, the entry of large institutional investors, who prefer Bitcoin for its liquidity and stability, tends to strengthen its position in the market.
The market's bullish and bearish cycles also have an influence: during bullish markets, altcoins gain popularity, which reduces Bitcoin's share. In bearish markets, investors tend to return to BTC, considered less volatile, which increases its dominance. In addition, events such as halving – which reduces the supply of new Bitcoins – and technological updates, such as Taproot, attract even more investors, consolidating Bitcoin's role in the market.
Bitcoin adoption is also impacted by external factors, such as regulations and news about the sector. In scenarios of unfavorable regulation, altcoins are more affected, while Bitcoin tends to maintain or even gain strength. In short, BTC.D reflects its role as a consolidated and lower-risk asset.
Tell me, are we facing a mere correction or has some trigger been activated and we are facing a fall in BTC dominance and will we finally have the desired altcoin season?
Alts have risen and everyone is happy, but it is time to be cautious. The BTC dominance chart shows a closing triangle and no one can say whether it will increase or decrease, so be very careful and cautious with your investments.
"Crypto Ball" will be held on the 17th to celebrate Trump's inauguration in the US; tickets can reach US$ 1 million.

Blockchain will be the narrative of 2025 Grayscale Research predicts that layer 1 blockchains and their smart contracts will be the main growth driver in the market in 2025. With an optimistic forecast, the company points out that platforms such as Solana (SOL), Sui (SUI) and TON are gaining prominence. According to the company, they are conquering a growing market share, despite the challenges faced by Ethereum (ETH). In this sense, the company argues that ETH, despite having achieved important milestones such as the approval of ETFs and major updates to its software, has not been able to maintain its leadership in the face of faster and more efficient competitors. In the report, Grayscale highlights that, although Ethereum is still a key player in the smart contract ecosystem, more agile platforms with lower transaction costs, such as Solana and Sui, are quickly gaining ground. The main advantage of these platforms is their ability to generate high network fees, which directly contributes to their profitability. Thus, networks that can generate high volumes of fees have the ability to redistribute this value to users through mechanisms such as token burning or staking rewards. Grayscale identifies smart contracts as the most competitive segment in the crypto market, with ETH, SOL, SUI, and OP platforms standing out in this category. Healthy competition between these networks promises to drive significant innovation in the coming years as more developers and investors engage with these technologies. https://cryptonews.com/br/noticias/blockchain-de-layer-1-vao-dominar-o-mercado-em-2025-diz-grayscale/ #sol #sui #ton
There are some things that are difficult to explain and even understand. How Binance lists coins that are authentic fiascos and that serve absolutely nothing other than eating users' money, and leaves others that are segment leaders out. How and why is the leading RWA ONDO not listed on Binance? Leave your comments there.
Congratulations to those who held and planted it. Now the time for growth begins and from now on all you have to do is look carefully and see the best harvest time. Don't forget that there are several harvests, you don't want to harvest everything at once. Not all species develop at the same speed, nor with the same quality.
Sacks, the former chief operating officer of PayPal and current co-host of the business and technology podcast All-In, was nominated by Trump on December 5.
In addition to his interest in crypto and artificial intelligence, Sacks is known as a major investor in Solana and other crypto-related ventures.
In October 2021, on the 50th episode of All-In, Sacks publicly revealed that he had large quantities of Solana purchased at a discount.
At the time, he called SOL "the biggest turnaround" in late 2023, highlighting that he did not sell SOL following the collapse of FTX, which was linked to Solana due to its high exposure to SOL.
The supposed US crypto czar has made some bold statements about Solana, highlighting SOL's potential as an Ethereum competitor and a powerful smart contracts platform.
On the 50th episode of the All-In podcast in 2021, Sacks mentioned Solana's potential to surpass Ethereum as the preferred blockchain platform:
“There are a lot of people, I would say, smart money in Silicon Valley, betting on a turnaround where Solana could ultimately overtake Ethereum as the platform of choice.”

Peter Brandt, one of the most famous and respected traders in the world, was excited about Bitcoin's rise. According to him, "when BTC decides to go up, it never goes back and really shoots up."
Citing Bayes' Theorem, a method that allows the probability of a hypothesis to be updated as new evidence or information is presented, Brandt states that Bitcoin could reach US$$ 125,000 by 2024.
With Bitcoin trading at US$$ 80,000 at the time of this writing, this would mean a rise of over 64% in the next 51 days.
And out of nowhere a sea of red lights appeared in my portfolio... take it easy, kid, everyone will follow... even the chart is bugged here at home... if you can't stomach it, don't buy it...
