⚙️ Stairs Down, Elevator Up: How 2024–25 Markets Are Really Moving

The old logic of breakout trading doesn’t cut it anymore.

Since late 2023, we've seen a shift:

➡️ Price and Open Interest grind down slowly
➡️ Treasury desks and funds accumulate passively
➡️ Then a sudden supply shock triggers a vertical squeeze

Tip from the pros: don’t wait for textbook sweeps. Use VWAP, EMAs, and retests to ride the momentum — not fight it.

🔥$ETH Is Back: What Just Happened and What’s Next?

Last week marked a turning point for Ethereum. The asset jumped +45% and is now trading around $3700.

But this isn’t just a pump — it’s a structural shift backed by policy, inflows, and institutional momentum.

Here’s what’s driving it and why it might just be the beginning.

Key drivers behind ETH’s rally:

➡️ GENIUS Act passed — On July 18, Trump signed a law regulating stablecoins. Bernstein says this strengthens Ethereum’s role as core infra for stablecoins, fueling network demand.

➡️ ETH as financial backbone — This isn’t just another cycle. Ethereum is becoming the base layer for the next wave of on-chain financial services.

➡️ Massive inflows into spot ETFs — $2.18B entered ETH ETFs last week — an all-time high. Open interest in ETH derivatives hit $28B, and ETH’s market share rose from 9.7% to 11.6%.

➡️ Bullish options activity — Strong demand for September and December calls suggests large players expect more upside.

Institutions are quietly loading:

➡️ SharpLink Gaming (Nasdaq): acquired 32,892 ETH via Galaxy Digital and Coinbase Prime
➡️ Bit Digital: now holds 120,306 ETH, raised $67.3M via equity
➡️ The Ether Machine Inc.: raised $1.5B and plans a Nasdaq listing focused on ETH yield

🎉Ethereum turns 10
Mainnet launched on July 30, 2015. To celebrate, Ethereum is releasing a community “torch” NFT, first held by co-founder Joseph Lubin. IRL events are planned globally.

📌What does this all mean?

ETH is finally stepping out of BTC’s shadow. Bitcoin dominance is falling (from 64% to 60%), while ETH-linked sectors like staking, L2s, and DeFi are surging.

Altseason index is climbing. Greed level: 67. Not quite euphoria — but close.

❕Don’t expect this to last forever.
If you haven’t mapped out an exit for the summer leg, now’s a good time to think. Odds are this isn’t a top — it’s the start of something systemic.

❕ Top tokens of the month weren’t obscure bets

The best returns didn’t come from hidden gems. They came from tokens with liquidity, visibility, and serious flows.

➡️ PENGU +401%
➡️ USELESS +221.9%
➡️ BONK +178.8%
➡️ CFX +177.8%
➡️ XLM +100.4%
➡️ ENA +93.6%
➡️ CRV +83.3%
➡️ FARTCOIN +78.8%
➡️ LDO +74.1%

Maybe this cycle isn’t about finding what no one knows — but riding what everyone’s watching.

🖥 July’s NFT Vibe — Meta Coming Back?

NFTs are creeping back into the spotlight thanks to a handful of fresh projects and renewed market interest.

Here are a few worth tracking as July wraps up:

➡️ Nurds — Early-stage Ethereum collection picking up steam through collabs and digitrabbits. Still early enough to try for WL.

➡️ Providence — UE5-powered onchain multiplayer space survival shooter. Launching a 777-supply free mint. Preview from LSD888.

➡️ Mey Network — A well-known RWA platform entering NFTs with a 2,000-token drop on Ethereum. Could carry over serious traction from their main product.

➡️ Hues of Paw — A new collection on the struggling Abs chain. If you're already active there, this one could still deliver.

➡️ on-chain miniz — 1,200 pixel artworks on ETH by artist Mariela Victoria. Feels like early ArtBlocks — worth watching.

Most activity is still circling old collections on secondary. But these early drops can flip meta fast. Stay close.
