1โฃ We are waiting for Powell's speech โ possible tightening of Fed policy. 2โฃ Profit-taking after peaks (BTC > 124k USD). 3โฃ Leveraged positions are being liquidated, mainly longs โ selling pressures prices. 4โฃ Technical indicators (evening star, death cross) suggest weakness. 5โฃ ETFs $BTC and $ETH are experiencing capital outflows โ weaker sentiment.
Is this a correction or the beginning of a larger wave of declines? Time will tell โ but it's worth watching the Fed's reaction and support levels.
โก Technical Analysis of Solana ($SOL ) โ August 19, 2025
Current price: approx. 187 USD (daily range: 196 โ 183)
๐ Technicals (D1 / H4) โข Trend: Solana has been maintaining a strong upward trend for some time. The recent breakout above 170 USD confirmed the dominance of buyers. โข Supports: 183 โ 180 USD (local), lower 170 USD (key support of the trend). A deeper drop could bring the price down to 150 โ 155 USD. โข Resistances: 196 โ 200 USD (strong psychological zone), above that 220 USD and 250 USD. โข Momentum: RSI is entering the overbought zone โ a possible correction before attacking 200+.
๐ Scenarios
Bullish (trend continuation): โข Holding 183 โ 187 USD โ another attack on 196 โ 200 USD. โข A breakout above 200 USD would open the way to 220 USD, and even 250 USD.
Bearish / correction: โข Rejection at 196 โ 200 USD and a drop below 180 USD โ possible retest of 170 USD. โข Loss of 170 USD would be a signal of weakness and could bring the price towards 150 USD.
โก Fundamentals and Catalysts โข Strong DeFi and NFT ecosystem โ Solana is one of the leaders in terms of active users and transaction volume. โข Proposed ETF for Solana โ rumors of potential approval could significantly boost the price. โข High network adoption โ gaming projects, memecoins, and DeFi on SOL are attracting increasing capital.
๐ฃ Rumors and market whispers โข In the community, it is said that breaking 200 USD could be the beginning of a โfast rallyโ towards 250 USD. โข It is speculated that large players (funds) are accumulating SOL before ETF decisions. โข There are also predictions in circulation that SOL in this cycle could aim for around 300 โ 350 USD.
๐ฏ Potential approaches (frameworks, not signals) โข Momentum trade: entries on retests of 183 โ 187 USD with defense below 180 USD; targets: 196 โ 200 / 220 USD. โข Breakout play: closing the day above 200 USD โ target 220 and 250 USD. โข Risk: false breakouts at 200 USD; key to monitor volume.
Current Price: approx. 24.17 USD (today's range: 26.54 โ 24.00)
๐ Technique (D1 / H4) โข Trend: after breaking above 21 USD, the market entered a momentum phase on increased volume. โข Supports: 24.4 โ 24.0 USD, lower 23 โ 22 USD (loss of 22 USD will negate the breakout). โข Resistances: 26.3 โ 26.5 USD (local trigger), above 30 USD (psychological), and then 34 โ 36 USD. Only above 36 USD does the path open up to 40 โ 42 USD. โข Momentum: RSI and momentum suggest a potential short correction before the market attacks the 26.5 โ 30 USD zone.
๐ Scenarios
Bullish (if volume holds): โข Holding 24 โ 24.4 USD and breaking above 26.5 USD โ target 29.8 โ 30.5 USD, and with acceleration even 34 โ 36 USD. Above 36 USD, potential movement towards 40 โ 42 USD.
Bearish / consolidation: โข Rejection at 26.5 USD and breakdown below 24 USD โ test 23 โ 22 USD. Loss of 22 USD opens the way to 20 โ 21 USD (retest of the breakout).
โก Fundamentals and Catalysts โข Institutional adoption: further implementations of CCIP and Price Feeds on multiple blockchains. โข Asset tokenization: collaboration with banks and financial institutions in the area of tokenization. โข Whale activity: large wallet purchases supported the recent move above 21 USD.
๐ฃ Rumors and Market Whispers โข The community speculates about an attack on 30 USD and later 40 โ 50 USD by the end of the year, if there are further CCIP implementations in institutions. โข Expectations for expansions of asset tokenization pilots (after earlier tests with the banking side).
๐ฏ Potential Approaches (framework, not signals) โข Momentum trade: entries after retests of 24.4 โ 24.0 USD with protection below 23.6 USD; targets: 26.5 / 30.5. โข Breakout play: closing the day above 26.5 USD on high volume โ target 30 and 34 โ 36 USD with a trail stop. โข Risk: possible false breakouts above 26.5 USD, hence volume and market reaction are key.
I remember how in 2021 everyone said, 'buy the dips, HODL, and forget.' Today โ in 2025 โ the crypto market looks like a chessboard where institutions play in 4D, and we โ the seasoned players โ must know not only the charts but also the moves of politicians, central banks, and hedge funds.
๐ Bitcoin above 120k is not just a number โ it's a signal that states and strategic reserves are in the game. ๐ Altcoins are no longer just about speculation โ PayFi projects, DeFi 2.0, and regulation-based stablecoins are creating the foundations of a new economy. ๐ The 'Binance Effect' is still in play, but the clever ones know that real opportunities hide before announcements.
And in all thisโฆ experienced traders learn one thing: the true edge is the ability to filter noise from signals.
๐ The crypto market is no longer a sprint, nor even a marathon. It's a game of Go โ whoever looks a few moves ahead wins.

And you? Are you still playing with emotions or already with strategies? ๐ฏ
Crypto for (almost) seasoned traders: what is really playing now
๐ Less "buy low, sell high", more psychology and finesse โ here are some hot topics worth keeping on your radar:
1. Institutionalization is in full swing โ $BTC rises above 120,000 USD, driven by institutional inflows and favorable policies. โ The prime brokerage sector (custody, trading, lending) is thriving โ examples include major acquisitions and preparations for stock market debuts.
2. Ripple after SEC, Ethereum with fresh energy โ The Ripple vs SEC case is nearing completion, providing $XRP with a solid foundation for growth. โ Ethereum is seeing record inflows into spot ETFs, indicating growing institutional interest.
3. New projects and sectors on the radar โ PayFi-type projects are attracting attention as potential โdark horsesโ โ fast, cheap, and connecting fiat with crypto. โ Stablecoins are gaining momentum due to new regulations and solutions, such as euro-stablecoins with certification.
4. โBinance Effectโ and pre-listings โ Listing on Binance often means a price jump, but the biggest moves happen before the official announcement.
5. Global prices and macro backdrop โ The impact of macro data, such as inflation or central bank decisions, is enormous โ Bitcoin and altcoins react instantly.
6. DeFi and altcoins active โ Solana is dynamically developing its network and waiting for possible ETFs. โ Chainlink is gaining popularity due to new solutions and partnerships with major financial players.

Summary
๐ Crypto 2025 is not just about quick price movements anymore, but strategic entries by institutions, ETFs, listings, and real use cases. Experienced traders know that the biggest opportunities often appear where there is still no hype.
๐ What trends are you observing most closely now?
๐ The pair $PLUME /USDC will be open for trading in just over an hour! This is a great opportunity to join the launch and take advantage of the project's potential right from the start. ๐ฅ
๐ Who plans to get in on PLUME from the very first minutes?
ETH for $5,000? Real scenario or just a dream? โก๐
1. Ethereum as the infrastructure of the entire Web3 $ETH is not just a cryptocurrency, but fuel for the entire Ethereum network on which most decentralized applications (DeFi, NFT, DAO) operate. The increase in the number of projects based on Ethereum and the growing utilization of the network directly translate into higher demand for ETH. If the DeFi sector returns to the records from 2021 and exceeds a TVL (Total Value Locked) of 200 billion USD, the price of ETH could gain significantly. 2. Technological improvements: Scalability and fees
. Regulatory clarity and ETF โ the key to institutional capital โข Resolving legal issues and ending the conflict with the SEC is fundamental. Establishing that XRP is not a security allows for much broader access for financial institutions. Such an event often heralds a surge in demand.
โข Market debate increasingly links the price of $5 to the introduction of an ETF fund for XRP, similar to those for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
2. Increase in adoption and utility in real payments
Hedera ($HBAR ) today hovers around 0.27 USD, which means it needs about 270% growth to reach the 1 USD level. Is this possible? Hereโs what could create conditions for such a move:
1. Adoption, usability, and corporate partnerships โข HBAR is based on hashgraph technology, supported by reputable companies (Google, IBM, LG, Deutsche Telekom). If these partnerships turn into real implementations โ especially in the areas of payments, digital identity, or tokenization โ this could become a strong growth impulse.
Cardano (ADA) reached its all-time high of around $3.10 in September 2021 โ is it possible that we will see that price again soon? Hereโs what could lead to that: 1. Technical and chart impulses (bull flag, breakout) โข Recent technical analyses show that $ADA has emerged from a bull flag formation, and both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages (SMA) have turned into strong supports. Additionally, a 'golden cross' has appeared โ classic signs of fresh bullish momentum. Analysts estimate a possible approach to $2.70, representing a potential increase of about 216%.
๐ $DOGE to 1 USD? What would need to happen ๐๐ฐ
๐ก For Dogecoin to reach 1 dollar, a market capitalization of around 150โ180 billion USD would be needed โ that's about 20% of the total value of Bitcoin today.
โ Conditions for success: โข Huge influx of capital โ demand must exceed the increasing supply (inflation ~3.6% per year). โข Greater utility โ acceptance in payments, institutional support, real applications. โข Bull market in crypto โ rise in BTC, positive sentiment, and the "Elon Musk effect". โข Positive technical signals โ breakouts from downtrends.
โ ๏ธ Possible? Yes. Likely? Difficult โ but such things have happened in the crypto world.
hello :) at the spot or on leverage? long-term it looks bullish, corrections will happen, but it won't be long before it breaks 1 dollar ;) I think 7 dollars is realistic
๐ญ Question to the crypto community I have a lot of $ADA bought at a higher price, so I am currently at a loss. I am wondering whether to sell ADA and move the funds into $BTC or $ETH , or to hold and wait for a possible rebound of Cardano.
What would you do in my place? ๐น Hold ADA? ๐น Sell and go into BTC/ETH? ๐น Or maybe a completely different strategy?
I would love to hear your arguments and experiences.
$BOB with a meme in the gate to Bitcoin DeFi โ the project raised 21 million USD from, among others, Castle Island Ventures and Ledger, to combine the security of BTC with the power of Ethereum through a hybrid chain based on BitVM, zk-rollups, and BTC staking. Market capitalization ~39.3 million USD, volume +117 %, community sentiment 97 % positive, and whales are buying over half of the supply. DYOR, because the hype is growing!
Plots August 10, 2025: BBVA + Binance, DOGE fluctuates, BNB consolidates, GAME in the competition!
๐ What is being said today (but not officially confirmed): โข Binance has partnered with BBVA โ users allegedly will have access to external (off-exchange) deposit protection, secured by BBVA's U.S. Treasury bonds. This is expected to increase trust and safety for customers. โข $BNB temporarily dropped below $800, fitting into a broader, still bullish trend. It is speculated that key support is around $795โ800 โ if it holds, the target could still be $1,200 by the end of the year. โข $DOGE has bounced strongly from around $0.20, currently testing resistance at $0.25. If it breaks through, it could be an impetus for growth towards $0.30. โข The trading competition for GAME tokens has just started on Binance Alpha: 10,250 winners will share 205,000,000 GAME tokens. The competition runs from August 10 to August 24.
Current price: $0.000000095634 Market capitalization: $40.23M Liquidity: $2.92M Number of holders: 46,411
Today's chart shows a strong breakout above previous resistance levels. The price has already touched $0.000000102198, and the RSI(6) indicators at 82 suggest strong overbought conditions โ which can indicate both a continuation of the rally with high demand and the risk of a short-term correction.
An increase in volume (over 1.85B BOB traded) confirms strong interest in the project. If the momentum holds, BOB may attempt to break the previous peak and enter a new price phase.
โ What do you think โ will we see a new ATH for BOB today?
Current price: $0.000000090607 Market capitalization: $38.12M Liquidity: $2.81M Number of holders: 46,241
The chart shows increasing interest โ after breaking the level of $0.000000102199, there was a slight correction, but the price remains above previous lows. The RSI indicators show moderate trend strength (RSI(24) ~54), which may indicate room for further upward movements, but also potential for short-term fluctuations.
๐ Key levels to watch: โข Resistance: around $0.0000000975 โ $0.0000001022 โข Support: around $0.0000000873 โ $0.0000000800
The increase in liquidity and the number of transactions suggest that more and more people are interested in this project. If the trend continues, the coming days could be crucial for further price dynamics.
โ What do you think โ does BOB have the potential to break through the next resistances, or are we facing consolidation?
๐ฌ What are you planning to invest in over the next few months? ๐๐ฐ
The crypto market has been surprising lately โ some are betting on established giants like $BTC and $ETH , while others are looking for opportunities in altcoins or DeFi projects. Or maybe someone among you is planning to delve into AI crypto, NFT 2.0, or layer 2 tokens?

Today we see a slight rebound in major projects: โข $HBAR is rising, now around $0.26, which is +2.4% in 24h. โข $BTC is holding around $116,000โ$117,000. โข $XRP has surged by about +11% after the dispute with the SEC ended.
โธป
What happened โ confirmed facts: โข Trump signed decrees enabling the inclusion of crypto (including BTC and XRP) into 401(k) retirement plans โ opening the market to a new potential capital source (approximately $8.9 trillion). โข The SEC concluded proceedings against Ripple, which positively impacted the XRP price. โข The CFTC allows spot crypto trading on registered futures exchanges, in cooperation with the SEC under the โProject Cryptoโ program. This is another significant regulatory step in the USA.
โธป
What awaits us (confirmed and announced): โข A wave of interest and entry of new investors through the 401(k) rule โ this is a real reach for crypto. โข Regulations are moving towards the mainstream โ legalization of spot trading and support for ETFs in the USA strengthen the market position. โข Market trends indicate a โcrypto summerโ โ interest in IPOs for crypto companies is rising (e.g., Bullish on NYSE), which may attract further waves of capital.
โธป
What does this mean for you? โข HBAR is rebounding โ this is a good moment for those who hesitated yesterday. โข XRP after a positive legal-regulatory turnaround โ power on the exit. โข BTC stable around $116k โ an ideal time to consider increasing positions in the long term. โข Influx of institutional and individual investors due to 401(k) and regulations โ this could be the beginning of a significant upward trend.
