Yesterday noticed many main altcoins rally to their yearly highs, with Ether (ETH) surging previous $400, which I anticipated was a possible state of affairs in my final article two weeks in the past.
As well as, XRP additionally had a bumper day exceeding $0.32 whereas momentarily outperforming Bitcoin as anticipated in my July 1 article.
Nonetheless, Bitcoin confirmed its dominance within the area by wiping out a number of billion of those beneficial properties in somewhat over an hour. So what does the week forward appear like, and simply what kind of affect may Trump’s TikTok ban have on the cryptocurrency area?

Let’s get some perspective
BTC/USD 1-week chart. Supply: TradingView
Bitcoin on the weekly exhibits an image of the long run. The main cryptocurrency by market capitalization has already examined the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement degree of $12Ok earlier than being rejected.
Should you haven’t been being attentive to the weekly fib, then it’s best to in all probability google easy methods to use the Fibonacci software on Tradingview proper now as a result of it’s in all probability the closest you’ll ever get to having Marty McFly’s sports activities almanac in Again to the Future 2 than you’ll ever get.
The subsequent degree to say is 0.618, which sits at $13,500, and when you’re proud of 20% beneficial properties on Bitcoin, that’s nice. However once you have a look at different top-tier alts, you will notice that the majority are buying and selling below the 0.236 fib, which suggests larger upside potential, and that is one thing we skilled this weekend.
Let’s begin with Ethereum
ETH/USD 1-week chart. Supply: TradingView
Ether (ETH) exploded by 80% from the underside of an ascending channel and already made a run on the 0.236 fib. Preserve at the back of your thoughts that Bitcoin is presently on the 0.5 fib, or two ranges larger than the 0.236, and ETH hasn’t even claimed that degree but.
Simply wait till this degree is damaged and Ether makes a run-up to 0.382, that’s an ETH value of $660, and that is possible solely the start.
The potential draw back now sits across the prime of the channel it broke out from, which is round $300-$330, and under right here I’d be wanting on the heart a part of the channel of round $280.
Regardless of the very fact ranges have already been hit in a flash crash earlier this morning, I wouldn’t be in any respect shocked in the event that they have been reached once more earlier than the subsequent leg as much as $660.
What´s cooking with XRP
XRP/USD 1-week chart. Supply: TradingView
Should you appreciated the ETH chart, you’ll in all probability perceive why XRP rallied laborious too. XRP briefly broke out of the identical ascending channel that Ether was in, solely XRP nonetheless has an extended method to go to the 0.236 fib.
As a matter of truth, it has a monstrous 188% transfer to attain in an effort to attain the $0.85c fib goal. So when you missed Bitcoin, and also you missed Ether, there’s nonetheless an excellent likelihood that the quantity three digital asset by market capitalization may present insane beneficial properties from its present degree.
The draw back potential for XRP utilizing the identical channel ranges as Ether sits at 24 cents for the center channel and 19 cents for the decrease goal. As soon as once more, the primary degree has already been examined within the flash crash, so whether or not we’ll see these ranges once more within the quick time period is unlikely contemplating the present fib targets.
However when you’re anxious about FOMOing in on the prime, there’s one other main crypto that’s but to awake from its bear hibernation.
EOS is but to run
EOS/USD 1-week chart. Supply: TradingView
EOS hasn’t been getting a lot consideration currently, and technically talking, it’s wanting like the subsequent large-cap coin to make a giant run-up to 0.236, which within the case of EOS is $6.50 and with the worth just below $3, this might offer you some spectacular beneficial properties within the quick time period.
Since EOS is but to interrupt out of its channel, it is just logical as different prime tier alts begin to rally within the shadow of Bitcoin, that merchants and buyers will begin charts buying and selling on the backside, identical to I seen with ETH and XRP, EOS is presently nonetheless buying and selling within the decrease a part of its channel, not fairly the underside — the underside is planted at $2.50 — however the threat vs. reward for EOS actually seems to be interesting.
There are additionally different good causes to be EOS proper now. Not solely is Brock Pierce presently operating for POTUS, which might solely be a superb factor for EOS, however father or mother firm Block.one are concentrating on Gen Z customers flocking from TikTok with their Voice Social Media platform. In a tweet on July 30, Pierce stated:
“Gen Z is mobilizing to face up for his or her rights and privateness! People could make a distinction. EVERY VOICE HEARD”
Pierce additionally cites an LA Instances about widespread TikTok stars leaving the platform amid privateness issues.
The early Bitcoin investor is understood for betting on the appropriate factor and the appropriate time, and with President Trump hinting in the direction of a ban on TikTok as early as tomorrow, there’s a gap within the U.S. market the place 80 million customers could also be in search of alternate options.
Whereas this will likely put EOS in a superb…
