AAVE, BTC, ETH, and SOL trade in ranges that demand patience over impulse
Across today’s markets, the theme was unmistakable: momentum is alive but still searching for conviction. AAVE circled its short-term DEMA cluster without landing a decisive breakout. On lower frames, RSI nudged upward and money flow held modestly positive, yet MACD stayed below signal and ADX showed no real expansion. Price held the 318–322 band we mapped yesterday, but real progress requires a close above 321.6 to open 327–333. If that fails, 314 and the high-290s remain in play. Discipline, not hope, continues to define the trade.
Bitcoin leaned higher but again lacked muscle. RSI and SRSI looked firm intraday, CMF stayed positive, yet the ADX and broader trend engines did not confirm. Price kept butting against 113k, with four-hour MACD hovering below signal. Until 113.2k and then 114.9k are reclaimed, BTC risks more chop inside 110k–113k. A failure at 109.6k could invite 108.8k or even 106–108k, but the weekly read stays constructive, keeping long bias alive above 110k with risk tightly managed.
Ethereum respected the range between 4.42–4.65k, with intraday oscillators improving but flow remaining hesitant. The daily MACD stayed capped below its signal, though the weekly picture was firmly constructive with RSI mid-60s and ADX healthy. Key zones sharpen: 4.2k anchored by the daily 210-DEMA should be a high-probability bounce level if tested, while acceptance above 4.64–4.65k could unlock 4.75–4.85k. Until then, ETH trades rotational and defensive, rewarding patience over chase.
Solana extended its climb into the low-210s but showed more glide than thrust. Intraday ADX stayed low, Stoch-RSI stretched, and twelve-hour momentum cooled, even as daily charts kept the trend constructive. Price held range highs, yet breadth didn’t expand. For the next 24–48 hours, bulls must defend 202–203 to probe 212–218 again. If that fails, 195–197 beckons as the deeper value zone. Above 202 the trend is intact, but best entries may come on flushes into the mid-190s, not by chasing highs.
Together, the four majors painted a picture of constructive but cautious markets. Structure remains intact, yet conviction is fragile. The lesson for traders: wait for confirmation, respect the ranges, and let setups come to you rather than forcing them.

AAVE: Momentum is Trying—Structure Still Demands Proof
AAVE spent today circling the same neighborhood we flagged yesterday, pressing into the short-term DEMA cluster without delivering a decisive breakout. Lower time frames look lively at first glance, but the substance behind that move remains thin. On the two-hour chart the read is cleanly bullish, with the fast average reclaimed and money flow positive, yet oscillators are stretched enough to make shallow dips probable. That tension becomes clearer on the four- and six-hour charts: stochastic pushes have not translated into a convincing MACD or ADX expansion, and money flow is only marginally supportive. In other words, the market is trying, but participation is tepid.
Yesterday’s expectation called for a 318–326 range with tests into 321–322. That’s almost exactly where we traded, and the tape respected the cluster of moving averages overhead. The twelve-hour view reinforces the “not yet” verdict: the fast DEMAs have merged, MACD is still below the signal but curling, RSI is nudging above its moving average, and DMI shows negligible trend strength. The daily chart keeps a mild bullish lean as long as price holds the 319s, but it needs a clear expansion in momentum and flow to carry through 327–333. If that expansion doesn’t appear, a reset toward 314—and in a deeper washout, the high-290s—remains on the table.
From here, our plan splits along two paths. If 319 holds and 321.6 is reclaimed on closing bases, a tactical long remains attractive with defined risk. If those levels fail, patience becomes the edge: let the twelve-hour momentum cycle complete near the 40 RSI-MA zone and look for evidence closer to 300. Either path keeps the focus on disciplined entries and objective invalidation, not hope.

BTC at the Decision Shelf: Momentum Without Muscle—Yet
Today Bitcoin keeps leaning higher, but the market still refuses to hand out easy points. Intraday momentum improved—RSI is firm on the two and four hour charts, SRSI is hot, and CMF stays on the positive side—yet the trend engines, especially ADX, remain unconvincing. That’s why each push feels like effort with modest altitude gained. Yesterday we noted a likely 110k–114.8k range with upside only if 113k gives way; that call aged reasonably well. Price pressed up, but the four hour downtrend line and the 113k shelf continue to deflect advances, and six hour MACD is above zero while still below its signal, signaling progress but not permission.
On higher timeframes, the twelve hour and daily structures have not flipped trend; RSI hovers around the midline and MACD is tentative, leaving the burden of proof with the bulls. Weekly remains constructive rather than outright bearish on our read, though momentum has cooled, which buys time for either a base or a break. From here, I’m looking for continuation only on a decisive reclaim of 113.2k first, then 114.9k, which would open 116.6k and possibly the high-118s. Failure to clear should mean more churn between 110k and 113k, with risk of a dip toward 108.8k if 109.6k breaks on a closing basis.
If the market does overcorrect, 106–108k is my next support band; the deeper 105k bounce is possible but not my base case without a daily rollover. Directionally I remain modestly long-biased above 110k with tight risk controls and will only get aggressive after a clean trend-break print above 114.9k. #Bitcoin #BTCUSDT #CryptoAnalysis #TechnicalAnalysis #TradingStrategy #RiskManagemen
ETH stalls under mid-stack while 4.2k emerges as the line in the sand
Yesterday our plan called for range with an upward skew toward the 4.58–4.65k cluster, buying confirmed strength above that area or fading into 4.42–4.45k pullbacks. Today’s action respected the range idea: momentum turned up on the lower timeframes, but the multi-layer DEMA stack overhead continued to cap advances.
The four-hour picture improved—RSI crept toward neutral and SRSI pressed higher—yet capital flow stayed hesitant, keeping conditions choppy and reactive. On the daily, MACD remained below its signal and the histogram stayed negative, which kept a lid on sustained trend continuation despite a still-respectable RSI reading above fifty. The weekly chart, however, remains decisively constructive: RSI in the mid-sixties, ADX healthy, and +DI dominant, signaling that the broader trend is intact even as shorter frames consolidate.
Against that backdrop, we’re sharpening our risk lines. We agree with the thesis that the 4,200 area—anchored by the daily 210-DEMA—should be a high-probability bounce zone on first touch, provided momentum on intraday frames turns up as price arrives. Conversely, acceptance above 4.64–4.65k would likely unlock a push toward 4.75–4.85k as overhead supply thins. Until one of those triggers fires, expect rotational behavior and respect stop placements; patience is an edge when structure is undecided. We were directionally right about range and the importance of the mid-stack, but strength never confirmed above it, so the day remained more about defense than offense. We still favor buying strength or a clean pullback into 4.2k with a defined invalidation.

SOL impulsive rise, or just catching breath before a deeper test?
Solana spent yesterday pressing into the low-210s and today it’s still trading above all the key moving averages across intraday charts. That alignment keeps the near-term structure constructive, yet the character of the move is more glide than thrust. On the two-hour and four-hour windows the ADX is low and Stoch-RSI sits high, a combination that often precedes either a pause or a quick shakeout. MACD remains positive on those frames, but the message from the twelve-hour chart is more nuanced: momentum has cooled, Stoch-RSI is stretched, and money flow is slightly negative. That cocktail argues for caution after strength. The daily chart, meanwhile, shows a trend that is becoming more credible—price rides above its fast averages, MACD slopes up, and RSI holds a resilient, if unspectacular, posture.Weekly still looks like an uptrend in the making rather than one already mature; signals are positive, but participation is not yet broad.
Against that backdrop, yesterday’s call for a constructive drift remains only partially successful: price held the upper range, but the “oomph” was lacking and breadth did not expand. For the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours, I expect a binary fork. If Solana holds above roughly 202–203 on any dip, bulls likely probe back into 212–218 and attempt a cleaner breakout. Should 202 give way, the tape probably seeks a deeper value zone near 195–197, where prior demand and slower averages begin to cluster. Patience around those levels, with confirmation from a fresh Stoch-RSI turn and improving money flow, is the higher-probability way to join the trend without chasing. In short, healthy trend above 202, healthier entry if gifted a flush toward the mid-190s, and a firm reassessment if the daily structure slips beneath 192.
