Daily Crypto Wrap: BTC’s Bounce, SOL’s Strength, ETH & AAVE Follow
Intraday momentum improves while higher timeframes still ask for confirmation
Across today’s coverage, the common thread was constructive momentum on fast charts paired with lingering caution on the slower ones. Bitcoin led with a tidy intraday bounce that respected rising short-term averages and nudged into a dense resistance band. Oscillators improved—MACD crossed up and RSI firmed—but the daily and weekly profiles still wear a corrective tint, so we framed wins as tactical rather than trend-defining. That cautious optimism set the tone for the rest of the board.
Ethereum broadly echoed BTC: steady higher lows intraday, improving momentum breadth, and a market that rewards patience on entries rather than exuberant chasing. The medium and higher timeframes continue to ask for confirmation; we favored buying weakness into support and letting any breakout prove it can hold. AAVE’s structure improved as well, with buyers reclaiming key moving averages and directional movement tilting positive. Still, with oscillators elevated and liquidity thinner than majors, we emphasized disciplined risk and partial profit-taking into obvious levels.
Solana was the standout. Price stayed convincingly above layered EMAs on multiple frames with bullish MACD stacks and +DI leadership. Even there, we noted overbought readings and mixed money flow intraday, implying progress should arrive in steps—dips remain preferable to chasing strength at the highs.
Netting it out: today’s plans were modestly successful. Dips into flagged support areas offered opportunity, while overhead zones did their job and slowed impulsive follow-through. Into the next sessions, our stance remains the same playbook: respect the improving impulse, lean long on pullbacks into fast supports, consider adds only after clear holds above resistance, and keep invalidations tight. Let the market earn the expansion; if it does, majors lead and quality alts participate, with SOL already setting the pace.

AAVE: Compression Near 320 While Higher-Timeframes Keep The Bid
Today’s session circled around the 320 handle, a classic mid-range coil after last week’s push. On the intraday windows, momentum is conflicted: MACD crosses are turning up from depressed levels on the two and four hour charts, yet money flow remains negative and the stochastic RSI sits oversold, warning that bounces can stall without participation. The six-hour tells the same story—price is perched on a rising 210/300 DEMA cluster with a positive MACD, but distribution on the CMF keeps rallies hesitant. That fits how yesterday evolved: we tested the mid-320s and slipped back, leaving a narrow value area and a market unwilling to tip its hand.
Zoom out and the picture brightens. On twelve-hour and daily timeframes, RSI stays above its moving average and MACD remains firmly positive, confirming an underlying uptrend even as momentum cools. The weekly chart is the backbone: +DI holds over −DI with ADX improving and CMF positive, suggesting that dips into the low 320s (and even the high 310s) are being absorbed rather than abandoned. That is why our invalidation is simple—lose 316 on a closing basis and we step aside.
Our near-term roadmap is modest. Into the next 24 hours we expect chop between 316 and 326 with a bias to probe 324–326 if 318–319 continues to hold. Over 48 hours, a daily close above 325 unlocks 330–335 where prior supply sits; acceptance above that zone would put the 340s back in view. If the market instead slips under 316, we anticipate buyers to regroup toward 311–306 near deeper DEMA support.
Net-net, the trade remains to buy weakness into support or buy strength through 325, keeping risk tight and expectations disciplined.

BTC tests the bounce while higher timeframes still lean heavy
Today Bitcoin spent another session grinding higher off last week’s downdraft, nudging into a thicket of moving-average resistance without yet breaking it decisively. On the fastest charts we track, momentum improved meaningfully: short-term MACD crossed up, RSI climbed back into the mid-50s and the 2H/4H stochastic has been pinned high for most of the day. That’s real progress compared with yesterday’s picture, when the same oscillators were either mid-range or recovering from oversold conditions and price was still tucked firmly under its intraday averages. Our intraday plan yesterday called for tactical longs on dips into the 112.7–113.1k area with tight invalidation; price respected that zone and pushed toward the first target band around 114.0–114.5k, so we can call it modestly successful rather than triumphant—the move happened, but momentum flattened right into resistance and breadth never broadened enough to declare victory.
Where the tone remains sober is on the 12H, daily, and weekly lenses. There, MACD is still negative or barely curling, money flow is tepid, and the bigger DEMA clusters sit above price, crowding the 116–118k region. Yesterday those frames looked outright corrective; today they look a touch less fragile, with RSI stabilizing and a few early hooks on momentum, but not enough to overturn the prevailing neutral-to-bearish bias. Put simply: the bounce is working, the trend is not yet repaired.
Looking ahead, our base case is a choppy, upward-leaning range if 2H/4H supports continue to hold, with spikes into 114s and occasional tests toward 115–116k. A clean, sustained reclaim of the 4H 210 DEMA would open the door to a deeper squeeze; failure there likely rotates price back toward 112s to refresh energy. We continue to favor tactical longs on weakness with disciplined risk while acknowledging the larger trend must still be earned.

ETH coils under fast averages while the higher-timeframe bid persists
Ethereum spent today orbiting the mid-$4.5k area, caught between soft intraday momentum and a still-constructive higher-timeframe trend. On the two and four hour windows, price remains lodged beneath the 70/140/210 DEMA stack, which keeps the very short-term tone hesitant. We did see a small bullish MACD cross and RSI edging above its average, but the CMF on the 2H stays negative and the 4H still needs a clean reclaim of the 210 and 140 DEMAs near 4,607 and 4,644–4,649. Yesterday produced a similar script: recover off support, stall beneath the fast averages, and fade back into the range. Until that band breaks, intraday traders should expect chop.
The six hour and twelve hour charts offer a kinder backdrop. ETH sits above its 140/210/300 DEMAs on the 6H and above every major DEMA on the 12H, with DMI showing +DI over −DI and the stochastic RSI curling from the lower band. That combination argues dips into 4,41x–4,45x are more likely to be bought than abandoned, matching what we observed over the prior session. The daily timeframe is the pivot: price is parked at the 140-DEMA around 4,57k with the 70-DEMA overhead at 4,64k. Reclaim the 70-DEMA on a closing basis and momentum should rotate back toward 4,72k–4,76k, with 4,80k a reasonable stretch. Lose 4,54k on a decisive H4 close and we likely re-test 4,50k, maybe 4,45k, before buyers try again.
Compared to yesterday, today’s read hasn’t changed the bigger picture: the weekly trend is firmly bullish, and money flow remains supportive over that horizon. What has changed is the patience required on the lower timeframes. The battleground is the fast moving averages; win those back and the trend resumes quickly, fail and we remain rangebound. Our plan is straightforward—buy disciplined pullbacks into 4,54–4,56 with tight risk, or buy strength through 4,64–4,65 on confirmation. The invalidation is equally simple: sustained trade below 4,54 turns us defensive.

SOL: trend strong, but respect the stretch
Solana spent the session pressing higher in orderly fashion, staying convincingly above all its key exponential moving averages across intraday and daily views. Momentum continues to trend constructively: the 2H and 4H MACD remain in positive territory, RSI holds in the low-to-mid 60s, and directional movement favors the buyers with +DI comfortably over −DI. That said, several oscillators are stretched and the money-flow picture is mixed—short and medium intraday CMF drifted slightly negative even as the weekly CMF turned supportive. The result is a market that wants up, but likely gets there in steps rather than in a single surge.
Compared with yesterday’s stance, when we anticipated an “up-to-sideways” move with dips into the 206–209 region offering opportunity and 216+ as the first confirmation band, today largely cooperated. Price respected the rising fast averages, pushed into the low 213s, and kept the structure of higher highs and higher lows intact. We’ll call that modestly successful: the direction was right, but the extension stalled shy of a clean 216+ breakout and intraday flow didn’t fully confirm. That combination argues for discipline on entries and realistic expectations on targets.
Going forward, the path of least resistance remains upward while price holds above the 2H/4H 70-DEMA cluster. A decisive reclaim and hold over 216 would open the 220–225 pocket, with follow-through potential into the mid-220s if momentum broadens. Failure to stick that breakout likely sends SOL back to refresh near 209–206, where dip-buyers may reassert control provided broader crypto doesn’t wobble. Our playbook stays simple: lean long on weakness into support with tight invalidation, consider adding on strength if 216 converts to a floor, and avoid chasing when oscillators are pinned.
