• The cryptocurrency is gaining rapid institutional adoption.

ETH stays above $4,200 as BTC, XRP falter

The cryptocurrency market began the new week bearish, with Bitcoin, XRP, and other major cryptocurrencies currently in the red. BTC has dropped below $119k while XRP is defending the $3 support level.

However, ETH, the native coin of the Ethereum blockchain, hasn’t given up its recent gains. Ether is up by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and currently trades around $4,303 per coin.

The positive performance comes amid strong institutional adoption. Ether’s surge over the past few weeks is a result of spot ETH ETF demand. In an email to Coinjournal, XBTO’s Chief Investment Officer, Javier Rodriguez-Alarcón, stated that,

“Strong ETF inflows added fuel, with bitcoin products seeing $247 million in net inflows and ethereum products drawing $327 million over the week, helping push ETH to its highest level since December 2021. Corporate treasury demand also played a role as companies continue to add crypto to their balance sheets as a treasury reserve and a staking income source. SharpLink Gaming disclosed the purchase of 52,809 ETH in the past week, worth over $220 million, while BitMine Immersion reported holdings of more than $2.9 billion in ETH, making it the world’s third-largest treasury.”

ETH eyes $5k ahead of inflation data release

The CPI and PPI data this week could be crucial in how the cryptocurrency market performs over the next few days. This brings two key U.S. inflation developments: the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Tuesday, which measures household price changes, and the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Thursday, which tracks wholesale price changes for businesses. These reports are key in shaping expectations for Federal Reserve policy.

The ETH/USD 4-hour chart is bullish and efficient, suggesting that Ether could be getting ready for another leg up. The RSI of 67 and strong MACD lines show that Ether is currently bullish.

If the rally continues, Ether could extend its positive performance to take out its all-time high price of $4,891, allowing it to hit the $5k mark for the first time in its history. Analysts still expect ETH to hit the $6k level over the coming months.

However, if Ether faces selling pressure like other cryptocurrencies, it could drop lower to the TLQ level at $4.150. Failure to defend this TLQ could see ETH retest the resistance-turned-support region at $3,874.

Key takeaways

• SUI is down 5% in the last 24 hours, dropping below the $4 mark.
• The broader market is facing heavy selling pressure, with BTC now below $119k.

Altcoins suffer huge losses

The cryptocurrency market is having a bearish start to the week, with major coins and tokens currently in the green. Bitcoin, the leading crypto by market cap, is down by over 2% and has dropped below the $119k level after hitting $122k over the weekend.

Ether has maintained its price above $4.200 as it remains the strongest altcoin, while XRP is trading around $3.15, down 3.6% in the last 24 hours. 

SUI, the native coin of the Sui blockchain, has lost 5% of its value, a similar average to other leading altcoins. It has now dropped below $4 and currently trades at $3.6846 per coin. The bearish performance comes amid heavy selling pressure in the market.

Data obtained from CoinMarketCap shows that SUI’s open interest (OI) has dropped 15% to $1.79 billion. Furthermore. Funding rates, which affected the cost of holding leveraged long positions, declined to 0.0083%, down sharply from their July peak of 0.075%. 

These data show that traders are not eager to maintain bullish leveraged bets, suggesting a cooling in market sentiment.

The bearish performance also comes after Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum announced on Friday that it expanded its offerings to include custody, trading, and lending products tied to the Sui blockchain.

SUI could retest the $3.2 low if selling pressure persists

The SUI/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as the coin is currently underperforming. The efficiency suggests that SUI has grabbed liquidity to the upside and could drop further.

The RSI of 43 shows that SUI could enter the oversold region if the negative sentiment thickens. The MACD lines are also looking to crossover into the negative territory amid selling pressure.

If the market conditions persist, SUI could drop to the $3.2 support level over the coming hours. The support could hold and allow SUI to bounce back in the near to medium term. However, failure to hold will see SUI test the July low of $2.65.

If the market conditions improve, SUI could reclaim the $4.0 weekend high before rallying towards $4.43.

Key takeaways

• DOGE rallied by 16% last week to hit the $0.23 mark.
• The leading memecoin could rally to the $0.30 psychological mark if market momentum remains bullish.

DOGE breaks above $0.20, targets new highs

DOGE, the native coin of the Dogecoin ecosystem and the leading memecoin, performed excellently over the last seven days. The coin added 16% to its value during that period, surpassing the $0.20 mark in the process.

At press time, DOGE is trading at $0.2344 and could be set to hit the $0.30 mark for the first time since February 2025. The rally comes as the broader cryptocurrency market recorded excellent gains over the past few days.

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, hit the $122k mark earlier today after adding 3% to its value over the weekend. Ether surged past $4,300 for the first time in four years and is now targeting the all-time high price of $4,891.

DOGE targets $0.3 amid bullish momentum

The leading memecoin could continue its rally as bullish momentum engulfs the broader market. The DOGE/USD 4-hour chart is bullish and efficient, suggesting that traders could be gearing up to push the price higher.

The MACD lines have crossed into positive territory while the RSI of 66 shows that buyers are currently in control of the market. If the market momentum persists, the DOGE/USD pair could cross the first major resistance level at $0.2865 over the coming hours or days. An extended bullish run would pave the way for DOGE to surpass the $0.30 mark for the first time since February 2025.

However, the market might show signs of exhaustion, resulting in a bearish trend. If that happens, DOGE could retest the first major support level and its 4H TLQ at $0.2208. Failure to hold this support level could see DOGE drop further towards the Break of Structure (BOS) around $0.2098.

Key takeaways

• LayerZero’s ZRO outperformed the market, adding over 20% to its value in 24 hours.
• The rally comes after LayerZero submitted a proposal to acquire Stargate Finance.

ZRO rallies on Stargate acquisition proposal

ZRO, the native coin of the LayerZero ecosystem, is one of the best performers in the market over the last 24 hours. The coin added 22% to its value during that time, allowing it to hit the $2.5 mark for the first time since May.

The rally was fueled by LayerZero’s proposal to acquire Stargate Finance (SGT). LayerZero Foundation proposed a $110 million acquisition of the Stargate bridge to the Stargate DAO.

With the proposal now in place, STG token holders will soon vote on the proposal. If approved, the STG token would be discontinued, and holders could swap STG for ZRO. SGT also rallied by over 15% since the announcement, as the proposal already has a 70% approval threshold. The proposal stated that,

“This offer is designed to accelerate both Stargate and LayerZero, giving Stargate the resources to ship on an aggressive roadmap that expands its prerogative outside of bridging, while tying an incredible, revenue-generating protocol that touches the end-consumer deeper into the LayerZero ecosystem.”

ZRO targets $2.8 as bullish momentum remains

The recent rally has seen the ZRO/USDT pair become bullish, with technical indicators pointing to potential upward movement. However, the pair is inefficient, suggesting that ZRO could temporarily dip to grab liquidity before rallying higher.

The RSI of 79 shows that ZRO is heading into the overbought region if the rally continues. The MACD lines are within the positive territory, indicating that buyers are currently in control.

If the rally persists, ZRO could target the next resistance level at $2.8 over the next few hours or days. An extended bullish trend could pave the way for ZRO to hit the $3 psychological mark.

However, if the market undergoes a correction or retracement, ZRO could drop to the first liquidity region at $2.0. Failure to defend this liquidity zone would see ZRO retest the TLQ at $1.89.
