Shiba Inu Competitor FLOKI Forms Falling Wedge That Could Trigger 54% Breakout

After going on an incredible run back in 2023, top Shiba Inu competitor FLOKI has swam into the mainstream of crypto investments. Its break toward the $1 billion market cap level solidified its position as one of the leading meme coins in the space. Although FLOKI has struggled in the market after its initial bullish run, falling more than 50% from its 2023 peaks, it is still a favorite among investors, and analysts, who expect the meme coin to see bullish momentum going forward. Shiba Inu Competitor Gears Up For Breakout Crypto analyst CobraVanguard has predicted a bullish run-up for the FLOKI price. According to CobraVanguard, the Shiba Inu competitor is forming one of the most bullish patterns on its chart and that is known as a Falling Wedge pattern. This pattern itself is usually formed during a descending market, making the breakout the most important part. Related Reading: Dogecoin At $0.1 Is A Gift, Falling Wedge Breaking Bullish To Send Price To $0.2 This Falling Wedge pattern identified on the FLOKI chart by the crypto analyst has been forming for the better part of five months now. It began with the initial run-up back in April before taking form back in the month of June when the downtrend began. Naturally, as the FLOKI price fell further, the falling wedge pattern took shape. At this point, a breakout is likely given how long the downtrend has lasted and the recovery in the crypto market. As the analyst highlights, if this breakout does happen, then the FLOKI price could fly from here, rising around 54% to reach the $0.000195 target. However, if the Falling Wedge pattern does continue to form, then the continuation would bring bearish tidings for the Shiba Inu competitor. This could send the downtrend deeper, pushing it as low as $0.000084 before another breakout occurs. Bullishness For FLOKI Continues CobraVanguard is not the only crypto analyst that foresees a breakout for the FLOKI price soon. Another analyst, Cryptollica, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share similar sentiments for the Shiba Inu competitor. The crypto analyst compared it to Dogecoin, currently the largest meme coin by market cap, predicting that the FLOKI price will fly.

However, Cryptollicas predictions are not as conservative as CobraVanguards, predicting that the meme coins price will rise above $0.04. This is an over 400% increase in the FLOKI price compared to the formers 54% forecast to $0.000195. FLOKI/DOGE #floki pic.twitter.com/37DRY5niz5 Cryptollica (@Cryptollica) September 13, 2024 Nevertheless, both predictions maintain the same sentiment and that is that the Shiba Inu competitor is ready for a breakout. With meme coins expected to lead the bull run this time around, it would be no surprise if FLOKI were one of the leaders. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum In Danger: Analyst Explains What Could Trigger Crash To $1,800

An analyst has explained how losing this on-chain demand zone could cause Ethereum to witness a crash to as low as $1,800. Ethereum Is Currently Retesting A Major On-Chain Support Zone In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has discussed about how Ethereum is looking like in terms of investor cost basis distribution right now, citing data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock. In the above chart, the dots represent the amount of ETH that was last purchased by investors or addresses inside the corresponding price range. As is visible, the $2,292 to $2,359 range stands out in terms of the size of its dot, suggesting that some heavy buying had occurred between these levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sentiment Spikes After Mild Price Jump: Crowd Too Excited Too Quickly? More specifically, almost 52.3 million ETH was acquired by 1.9 million addresses inside this range. Since Ethereum is currently retesting the range, all these investors would be just breaking-even on their investment. To any investor, their cost basis is naturally an important level and thus, they may be more prone to making some kind of move when a retest of it happens. For ranges that host the acquisition level of only a small amount of holders, though, any reaction resulting from a retest isn’t anything too relevant for the wider market. In the case of price ranges that are huge demand zones, however, a retest can cause visible fluctuations in the asset’s price. The aforementioned Ethereum range naturally belongs to this category. As for how exactly a retest of a large demand zone would affect the cryptocurrency, the answer lies in investor psychology. Retests that take place from above, that is, of investors who were in profit just before the retest, generally produce a buying reaction in the market. This is because these holders may believe the asset will go up again in the future, so getting to buy more at their cost basis can appear like a profitable opportunity. As Ethereum is currently retesting the $2,292 to $2,359 range, it’s possible it may feel support and find a rebound. In the scenario that a break under it takes place, however, the cryptocurrency’s price may be in danger. From the chart, it’s apparent that the ranges below this demand zone only carry the cost basis of a small amount of investors, so they may not be able to prevent a further decline in the asset. Related Reading: Legendary Bitcoin Puell Multiple Finally Enters Buy Territory “If this demand zone breaks, we could see a sell-off driving ETH toward $1,800,” notes the analyst. A drawdown to this level from the current price would mean a crash of more than 21% for the coin. It now remains to be seen how the Ethereum price will develop in the coming days and if the on-chain support zone will hold. ETH Price After retracing its recovery from the last few days, Ethereum is back at $2,300, which is inside the aforementioned price range.

Why The 4-Year Crypto Cycle Is A Thing Of The Past: Top-Analyst

The long-held belief in the crypto market’s predictable four-year cycle, characterized by distinct phases of accumulation, uptrend, distribution, and downtrend, is being questioned by top-analyst Jordan Fish, better known as Cobie. He articulated an argument that challenges this traditional view, suggesting that the concept of a cyclic market may no longer hold true. Cobie ignited a debate on X (formerly Twitter) with his assertion, “Unironically [the bull run] has not even started yet.” This statement was met with incredulity by some, such as Maher Abdelsala, who remarked, “Brother people think you are serious lol.” Cobie clarified his stance, stating, “I am serious! Increasingly I like the argument that this is not even a ‘cycle’, really, but it’s more like 2019 with leverage and ETFs.” The End Of The Traditional Crypto Cycle? Cobies perspective hinges on the notion that the structural dynamics of the crypto market have fundamentally changed. He draws parallels to the market conditions of 2019, but with significant differences influenced by the proliferation of leverage and the introduction of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). “Was 2019 a new ‘cycle’ or was it part of the bear market?” Cobie pondered. “Floated this idea to a few people in March but everyone told me I was an idiot, which I am, but still it was quite rude to say that to my face.” Related Reading: Crypto Market Liquidations Top $197 Million As Bitcoin Price Plunges Below $60,000 The introduction of ETFs and the increased use of leverage have brought new complexities to the market. These instruments have changed how capital flows into and out of the crypto ecosystem, creating a less predictable and more fragmented market landscape. Cobie emphasized, “Of course if we’re in 2019-looking-2024, it doesn’t mean 2020 plays out the same way, because structurally so much is different now with ETFs and high FDVs and shit, probably too difficult to pattern match too much stuff about the future.” Cobies analysis suggests that the current market exhibits a high degree of dispersion, where various assets behave differently rather than moving in unison as seen in previous cycles. This dispersion makes it challenging to identify a single driving force or pattern that governs the entire market. “I think this cycle is so unlike any other cycle it’s probably better to just stop thinking of cycles altogether,” Cobie stated. “It’s clear there is no one single thread pulling everything forward like it did before.” Related Reading: Not All Hope Is Lost: Crypto Analyst Weighs In On The Markets Performance This view is reinforced by the performance of certain cryptocurrencies. For instance, Chainlink (LINK) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are cited by Cobie as examples where the traditional hype and subsequent price appreciation may no longer apply. He explained, “I think there’s a very strong likelihood stuff like that could potentially never make new highs again and LINK could just keep existing as a wildly successful oracle without the price appreciation.” The Echo Bubble Phenomenon In the context of market maturity, Cobie referenced the concept of the “echo bubble,” popularized by the renowned trader GCR (Global Coin Research). The echo bubble theory posits that a smaller bubble follows the burst of a larger one, as observed in 2019 following the massive rally in 2017. Cobie expressed surprise at GCR’s recent market behavior, noting, “I actually found it pretty weird GCR kept talking about the echo bubble when he was bullish at the picobottom but then when shit started getting silly he just bought the dogwithhat NFT and broke his hiatus to come and tell people not to sell.” Overall, Cobie believes that the market is currently in a “multi-month/quarter cool-off reaccumulation period” for Bitcoin. He expects Bitcoin to trade within a range of $45,000 to $70,000, with a possibility of a brief breakout to new highs. However, he is pessimistic about the future of many altcoins, particularly those that have survived multiple market cycles. “I def think all the sudden memecoin theses marked an intermediary top for overall risk appetite, and everyone has been conditioned to max long as soon as they think we’re ready to go for it again.” He anticipates that many of these older altcoins will “slowly bleed away and become irrelevant” as speculative investments. This outlook suggests that the market’s risk-on paradigm, characterized by rapid and extensive price increases, may not resume anytime soon. He concludes, “So long story short I think we need a lot more time before the (real) risk on paradigm starts again and I expect more downside to come before it happens.” At press time, Bitcoin traded at $51,104.

Bitcoin Plummets To $59,000, On-Chain Data Reveals Why

Bitcoin has observed a plunge to the $59,000 level during the past day. Here’s what could be behind it, according to on-chain data. Bitcoin Exchange Inflow Spiked Just Before The Crash In a new post on X, CryptoQuant Head of Research Julio Moreno discussed the latest trend in Bitcoin Exchange Inflow. Exchange Inflow is an on-chain metric that tracks the total amount of assets being transferred into the wallets of centralized exchanges. Investors deposit many coins on these platforms when this indicator’s value is high. One of the main reasons holders may transfer to exchanges is for selling-related purposes so this trend can have bearish consequences for BTC’s value. Related Reading: Litecoin Sees Sudden Exodus Of Retail Investors: Why This Can Be Bullish On the other hand, the low metric implies holders aren’t moving that many coins from self-custody into exchanges, which, depending on whether outflows are also occurring, can potentially be bullish for the cryptocurrency. Now, here is the chart shared by Moreno that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Exchange Inflow over the past few days: As displayed in the graph at the top, the Bitcoin Exchange Inflow saw some notable spikes in the lead-up to the latest price plunge. The version of the indicator in the chart is specifically for the spot platforms, so selling was likely the goal of the investors making these deposits. The CryptoQuant head has also attached the data for another metric: the Spent Output Value Bands version of the Exchange Inflow, under the chart for the Exchange Inflow. This indicator shows how the Exchange Inflow breaks down according to the transactions’ size. In the graph, Moreno has specifically highlighted the 1,000 to 10,000 BTC value band, corresponding to addresses carrying between 1,000 and 10,000 tokens in their balance. Investors of this scale are popularly known as the whales and are considered among the market’s most influential entities. As the chart shows, the Exchange Inflow for these large Bitcoin holders also spiked alongside the spikes in the general metric, implying that the whales contributed to some of the deposits. Related Reading: Solana, Ethereum Attract Traders Amid Bitcoin Open Interest Plunge Given the timing of the inflows made by these humongous investors, it’s probable that this selling was partially responsible for the bearish price action the cryptocurrency witnessed during the past day. As such, the indicator could be worth monitoring shortly, as more large deposits could suggest that the Bitcoin sellers aren’t done yet. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $59,900, down almost 4% over the last 24 hours. Featured image from Dall-E, CryptoQuant.com, chart from TradingView.com
