Shiba Inu (SHIB) has experienced a remarkable surge in recent times, mirroring the broader optimism sweeping the cryptocurrency market. This uptrend coincides with Bitcoin’s impressive rise above $63,000.

Shiba Inu Explodes On The Weekly Timeframe

The memecoin has witnessed significant gains, with a solid 61% jump in a 24-hour timeframe, a more impressive 124% increase over the week, and a stellar 50% growth in the past month.

Notably, SHIB has finally clawed its way into positive territory for 2023, boasting a 10% gain since February. In addition to this, its market capitalization crossed the $8.5 billion barrier for the first time in a year.

This bullish momentum is further bolstered by technical indicators. The recent price climb above $0.000014 has demonstrably reignited investor interest, as evidenced by the substantial 75% surge in trading volume. This suggests a potential breakout from a previous consolidation phase and could signal further upward movement if buying pressure persists.

Market Strength And Bull Run Potential

The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is nearing $2.5 trillion, a significant milestone. This uptick has fueled speculation among some analysts for a potential bull run, a period of sustained price increases. While past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, this rising market cap does suggest a return of investor confidence.

These often highly volatile assets have experienced explosive price jumps, potentially contributing to a positive feedback loop within the broader market. This “meme coin frenzy” could be a sign of increased retail investor participation, which can be a double-edged sword, driving prices up but also increasing volatility.

SHIB Investor Sentiment

An interesting technical indicator is the improvement in Shiba Inu (SHIB) investor sentiment. Data suggests that over 50% of SHIB holders are currently sitting on profits, compared to a mere 10% in September 2022. This shift reflects the positive impact of the recent price increase and could further fuel buying pressure if the trend continues.

Shifting Tides

Meanwhile, on-chain data from Lookonchain indicates a sizeable investor, commonly referred to as a “whale,” has made a strategic shift in their holdings. This whale liquidated nearly 2 trillion PEPE tokens, profiting $3.5 million. This divestiture suggests the whale perceived PEPE to be nearing a price peak or no longer aligned with their investment goals.

Following the PEPE sale, the whale reinvested a portion, $893,000, into Shiba Inu (SHIB). This strategic allocation of 76 billion SHIB tokens suggests the whale anticipates potential growth in SHIB’s price. However, it’s important to remember that this is a singular instance.

Several analysts have expressed optimism, suggesting that Cardano (ADA) is poised for a bullish market surge in the near term.

ADA recently went on an impressive spike on the last day of February, registering a 14% gain to push its price above $0.7 for the first time since May 2022. 

Despite these gains, there have been concerns from some investors of ADA potentially falling behind in its performance relative to Bitcoin in the last bull cycle. Popular crypto analyst Dan Gambardello addressed some of these concerns in a recent video posted on X. He mentioned that Cardano is currently within a typical trend and that a bull indicator which is expected to welcome a parabolic price spike would soon be triggered.

Parabolic Rally For Cardano

Gambardello’s recent video analysis came mostly to address concerns about ADA’s underperformance in this bull cycle. Particularly, parallels were made to the last time Bitcoin reached $60,000 in March and ADA was trading around $1.30 to $1.98.

However, this hasn’t repeated itself and traders are beginning to wonder if ADA will attract the same bullish sentiment. Bitcoin has now broken past the $60,000 mark again and ADA finds itself in the $0.66 to $0.7 region. 

Gambardello emphasized Ethereum’s past action as a comparison, noting that the cryptocurrency is one cycle ahead of Cardano. In that context, when Bitcoin neared its former all-time high of $17,000 in the last cycle in 2021, Ethereum was at $500. This seemingly underperformed its previous performance without raising a cause for concern from investors, as ETH was at $700 when BTC reached an all-time high of $17,000 in 2017. 

He remarked that since ADA is currently mirroring Ethereum’s last cycle, the current price movement is normal. He also noted that most altcoins are getting ready to power through. 

Ultimately, the analyst noted that a bullish break of structure just occurred on ADA’s weekly chart. The last time this happened in 2021, ADA went on a price surge from $0.15 to $1.5.    

Current State Of Cardano

Gambardello noted in his analysis that while the break of structure indicator got triggered above $0.7, ADA saw a minor correction shortly after. In light of this, he made the observation that a significant disruption of structure might take place within the next three days.

Remarkably, ADA has in fact broken out of the $0.7 price level since the analyst posted his video online. At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.74, up by 10% in the past 24 hours. Particularly, ADA reached above $0.76 in the past 24 hours. 

The Cardano blockchain recently crossed over 10 million blocks. ADA is now on its way to continue on massive gains along with the rest of the crypto market.

The strong ascent of Dogwifhat (WIF) has made it stand out among cryptocurrencies and captivated investors. Crypto markets are gearing up for the first weekend of the month, and memecoins in particular are showing strong signs of positive momentum.

Amidst the increased hope, the meme coin based on Solana experienced an incredible 320% rally last week, propelling WIF to the top 100 cryptos from a valuation of $1 billion or more. However, why has this ascent been so rapid?

Dogwifhat’s Rise: Bulls In Action

At the time of writing, the price of Dogwifhat had increased 35% to $1.20, and its trading volume had surged 75% to $388 million. Over the past day, the value of one WIF token has fluctuated between $0.83 and $1.32.

Withstanding sufficient bullish and bearish pressures, WIF has been trading within an ascending parallel channel since its debut. In spite of this, bulls should be prepared to fight fiercely against any bearish pressures that may arise.

As a result, we anticipate that the WIF price will first reach $1.5 after continuing its upward consolidation along the parallel channel’s upper resistance. If the bulls keep on their momentum, getting to $2 might not be too difficult for dogwifhat pricing.

Robinhood Europe’s IPO of the WIF token occurred at the same time as Dogwifhat’s stratospheric ascent in the cryptocurrency hierarchy. European customers of Robinhood can now trade WIF in addition to a plethora of well-established tokens, such as XRP, Cosmos, and Polkadot.

The fucking hat stays on.

— Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) March 1, 2024

The anticipation for the Robinhood listing was reaching a peak, and former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes was among the many who took to social media to voice their opinions.

X influencer “OSF” has fueled rumors that other major exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, or Gemini may soon join Robinhood in listing Dogwifhat, which is a huge deal for everyone.

Honestly mental that $WIF is about to hit $1bn market cap and still isn’t listed by @coinbase, @Gemini or @binance. pic.twitter.com/Jk0gpWy5ME

Whale Confidence Boosts Dogwifhat’s Surge

Separately, Lookonchain, an on-chain data source, uncovered substantial whale activity in the WIF area. A large investor recently bought more over 673,000 WIF tokens at $1.36 each after withdrawing around $918,000 worth of Solana from Binance.

Also, this whale has clearly seen the potential in WIF; he has spent $2 million to buy 2.82 million tokens at $0.71 each, demonstrating his faith in the project. This whale’s activities, which resulted in an unrealized profit of almost $1.35 million, add to the positive attitude around dogwifhat (WIF) and its prospects for significant gains in the coming months.

There are lots of surprises during the bull season. Occasionally, during a bull run, coins that have been falling or thought to be dead can rise again, and tokens with defective models can self-correct. In the instance of Pepe Coin (PEPE), which was thought to have lost value and utility but has recently gained attention and is amassing a large number, this is the situation.

With Bitcoin getting close to its peak price and the market rallying, the cryptocurrency space is a flurry of activity. Memes have particularly profited from this renaissance because of their widespread popularity and low cost, which draw in a diverse range of investors.

Pepe Coin Climbs Amid Increased Memecoin Interest

Pepe Coin has stood out in this surge of interest, coming in third place in the meme coin rankings, only behind Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE). This rise suggests that investors are becoming more interested.

PEPE had a very diverse trajectory and became a billion-dollar asset at periods when there was speculation of a huge trend reversal. The market cap rise of the memecoins was increasing dramatically.

The weekly and daily chart patterns, when analyzed, show consistent growth that might perhaps reach new heights. February saw the start of Pepe’s value climb, which culminated in a 200% spike in just one week.

Today, Pepe reached a top of $0.0000041, and registered an impressive 255% rally in the weekly timeframe. The coin’s performance was equally notable in the 24-hour timescale, with a nearly 50% gain. The weekly chart shows Pepe’s value is still above the critical resistance level, indicating that the market is confident and that there may be further rises ahead.

The bulls will regain momentum and challenge the price’s upper resistance level of $0.00000315 if the market pushes the price above the barrier level of $0.00000280. Additionally, if the bulls maintain their hold on the market, it will rise further and get ready to test its upper boundary of $0.00000350.

Meme Coin Profits Up

In the meantime, a scenario of note occurred when six prominent wallets made trades and sold approximately 2 trillion $PEPE coins between them. Sales for the transaction totaled about $4.37 million, while profits came close to an astounding $2 million. Token exchanges of this size demonstrate the extent of market activity around $PEPE during this upswing.

Although lacking the technological sophistication of Ethereum, its merits reside in its active participation by the community and the capacity for social media to go ubiquitous.

Similar to other meme coins, Pepe Coin is subject to significant fluctuations in value due to celebrity endorsements and community sentiment. This renders it a potentially lucrative investment opportunity for individuals adept at navigating the tumultuous realm of internet meme culture.

With Pepe Coin experiencing a remarkable 250% surge, all eyes are on what March holds for this unpredictable cryptocurrency. As investors eagerly anticipate further developments, the question lingers: Will Pepe Coin continue to defy expectations and unveil more surprises in the coming month?

Historical data suggests that no Bitcoin cycle has peaked without experiencing significant double-digit corrections. These downturns, while daunting, have historically presented lucrative ‘buy-the-dip’ opportunities for investors.

As Bitcoin continues its ascent, with its price hovering above $62,000, the anticipation of a potential correction looms large, offering a window into the cyclical nature of cryptocurrency markets.

Market Maturity And Correction Patterns

Seasoned investor CryptoJelleNL recently shared a post on X earlier today pointing towards an imminent correction in the 20-25% range for Bitcoin.

Based on cycle analysis, this predicted dip indicates a potential drop to the $46,500 range, earmarking an opportunity for investors to bolster their positions in the leading crypto.

Corrections are an essential part of a #Bitcoin bull market — but with each passing cycle, the dips become shallower.

This cycle, it looks like ±20-25% will be the sweet spot for dip-buying.

Your job is to be ready to take advantage when it comes. pic.twitter.com/xrI7iKfiPR

— Jelle (@CryptoJelleNL) March 1, 2024

This perspective gains further credence when examining the diminishing severity of corrections as the market matures; the 2016-2017 Bitcoin cycle was characterized by seven substantial corrections, with an average pullback of 32%, significantly impacting investor sentiment and portfolio values.

In the subsequent cycle that propelled BTC to its current all-time high of $69,000, the market conditions were considerably more lenient for bullish investors: experiencing five downturns, the average decline was limited to 24%.

Fast forward to the present cycle, and the landscape appears somewhat different. With only four notable corrections recorded so far and an average pullback of 21%, Bitcoin should see a notable pullback, though not as harsh as previous ones. This indicates the market’s growing maturity.

Additionally, this evolution suggests that while corrections remain a staple of the Bitcoin experience, their capacity to deter the asset’s long-term trajectory diminishes.

Navigating Bitcoin Upcoming Corrections

The potential correction for Bitcoin, as indicated by CryptoJelleNL is echoed by other market observers. Galaxy Digital Holdings CEO Michael Novogratz has also highlighted the possibility of a temporary dip, attributing it to factors such as excessive leverage among younger investors.

Despite these forecasts, Bitcoin’s current momentum remains strong, with recent price action showing a near 2% increase in the past 24 hours, underscoring the asset’s sturdy appeal.

In addition to speculative analysis, real-world examples of investor success stories provide tangible evidence of Bitcoin’s enduring allure. A notable instance is a smart whale who, per lookonchain analytics, invested $1.39 billion in Bitcoin in July 2022 at an average price of $21,629 per BTC.

With BTC price now surging past the $62,000 mark, this investor’s unrealized profit is a testament to the strategic potential of timely market entry and the value of patience in the face of volatility.

A smart whale has accumulated 22,670 $BTC($1.39B) at an average price of $21,629 since $BTC entered the bear market in July 2022.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, announced the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT39) launch in Brazil on Thursday. Starting today, Friday, March 1, shares of this index fund, which tracks the spot price of Bitcoin (BTC), will be traded on the Brazilian Commodities and Futures Exchange, known as B3.

BlackRock Launches IBIT39 Bitcoin ETF In Brazil

Karina Saade, president of BlackRock in Brazil, highlighted the company’s commitment to providing high-quality access vehicles to investors in the digital asset market. She stated:

IBIT39 is a natural progression of our efforts over many years and builds on the fundamental capabilities we have established so far in the digital asset market.

Felipe Gonçalves, Superintendent of Interest and Currency Products at B3 discussed the growth of the listed crypto market in Brazil. He noted that the market, which started in 2021, now has 13 ETFs with total assets of R$2.5 billion, or about $505 million.

While the market experienced fluctuations in its early years, it reached an eye-catching daily trading volume of R$30 million reais ($6.6 million) by the end of last year, according to local media reports in Brazil. 

Gonçalves mentioned that investors in crypto ETFs include institutional investors, such as funds, and individual investors, with a current number of 170,000. Liquidity in the market is provided by non-residents investing in B3 as a whole.

IBIT39 will reportedly have a management fee of 0.25%, with a one-year waiver that reduces the fee to 0.12% once the fund reaches its first $5 billion in assets under management (AUM). The product will be made available to the general public, allowing broader participation in the Bitcoin market.

$7.5B Net Inflow In Bitcoin ETFs Since Launch In The US

BlackRock’s IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust) ETF has emerged as a notable player in the US ETF race, countering a significant outflow from Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

BitMEX research data shows that on February 29, 2024, positive flows amounted to $92 million for the day. Notably, BlackRock and GBTC offset each other, experiencing $600 million in opposite directions. The data shows that since the ETFs began trading on January 11, 2024, there has been an impressive net inflow of $7.5 billion.

The overall holdings of spot funds, which directly hold Bitcoin, stood at 776,464 BTC (equivalent to $47.7 billion) on Friday morning, according to BitMEX Research. It’s essential to consider that the total BTC supply currently in circulation is 19.64 million, with a maximum limit of 21 million. 

With this context, the fact that the ETFs have secured 4% of the total BTC supply is a significant milestone. It demonstrates the growing demand for Bitcoin among investors utilizing these index funds to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency.

BTC continues to consolidate above the $62,000 mark, rising 1.3% in the past 24 hours.

As Bitcoin (BTC) is currently in a bull run, eclipsing the $60,000 mark once again, the spotlight has turned to ADA performance in comparison. With a history that mirrors Ethereum’s (ETH) early days, ADA’s journey through the market’s ups and downs has prompted a closer examination of its potential trajectory.

The eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, ADA has seen its fair share of highs and lows, with a recent uptick in price sparking both interest and speculation about its future.

Particularly, Cardano’s current trading level, lingering below the highs of the March-April 2021 bull run, has raised eyebrows, especially when juxtaposed with Bitcoin’s bullish momentum.

During the last peak period when BTC hit $60,000, ADA traded above $1. Yet, as Bitcoin revisits its former glory, ADA’s valuation stands around $0.6, presenting a curious case for analysis.

Dan Gambardello, a crypto analyst have drawn parallels between ADA’s price action and Ethereum’s historical performance, suggesting that ADA may be on the cusp of a “significant breakout”, akin to ETH’s journey post-2017.

ADA Historical Echoes With Ethereum

Dan Gambardello’s comparison of ADA to Ethereum’s past trajectory sheds light on the developmental parallels and market behavior between the two cryptocurrencies.

Gambardello points out that ADA’s entry into the market towards the tail end of the 2017 bull run placed it in a different starting position than ETH. Despite this, both currencies achieved notable highs during that period.

The subsequent bear market phases for both ADA and ETH were marked by substantial corrections and periods of foundational development, crucial for their long-term viability, according to Gambardello. The analyst added that the emergence of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) projects on both platforms, with Uniswap for ETH and SundaeSwap for ADA, underscores the parallel paths of “innovation and growth.”

This historical perspective suggests that ADA’s current position and 78% dip from its peak might not be as dire as it appears. Instead, it could indicate a maturing phase that precedes significant growth, much like Ethereum experienced after its initial setbacks.

The comparison offers a hopeful outlook for ADA, positioning it as a digital asset with the potential to recover and surpass its previous highs as it follows in Ethereum’s footsteps.

Cardano’s Potential Unfolding

Crypto analysts Trend Rider and Ali’s recent analysis has also amplified the optimism surrounding Cardano’s future. Trend Rider’s alert on a potential new all-time high for ADA, backed by a significant increase in the Trend Strength Indicator, echoes the sentiment of a pending rally reminiscent of ADA’s climb to $3.6.

Furthermore, Ali’s projection of ADA hitting $8 in the upcoming bull run, based on a breakout pattern in the weekly price charts, adds to the growing consensus of Cardano’s untapped potential.

Cardano (ADA) is currently riding on the back of a 14% gain in the past seven days, allowing the cryptocurrency to break past the $0.70 price level for the first time since May 2022. According to crypto exchange Changelly, Cardano is poised to continue on this price growth and break over $1, $10, and $100 in the coming years and decades.

Changelly Predicts Exponential Cardano Price Growth

Cardano is one of the biggest cryptocurrencies by market cap with a cap of over $23.5 billion. Although ADA has since retraced some of its gains earlier in the week and is now trading below $0.77, it ended February with a 35% gain amidst a wider inflow of money into the crypto market. Current fundamentals have prompted experts to forecast a continued price surge in March.

According to Changelly’s prediction, ADA will continue on this price growth to make a steadfast breakout above $0.70 and end the month at a maximum of $0.751. Notably, analysts at the exchange also looked at future price points for ADA, predicting very bullish prices.

In its prediction, the exchange noted ADA would break over $10 in 2030. With the cryptocurrency now trading at $0.66, this would mean a 1,400% growth from the current price level. Looking further into the future, Changelly expects this price growth to continue into the next decade, allowing ADA to eventually break over $165 by 2040 and end the year around $600.

How Feasible Is This Bullish Prediction?

Cardano has had its fair share of ups and downs in the past few years. Recently, the blockchain network saw a 90% jump in the creation of new wallet addresses, indicating increased network activity and interest in the network. However, the blockchain has also been subjected to negative remarks, with multiple reports hinting that Cardano’s network activity has been nothing but fabrications. Particularly, a recent report termed ADA as a dead coin.

Despite this, some holders and experts remain optimistic. For ADA to cross over $10 and $100 per coin, mainstream adoption needs to happen. As the crypto industry, which is spearheaded by Bitcoin, becomes more mainstream, Cardano is poised to benefit from greater adoption.

While $165 per ADA sounds overly optimistic now, if Cardano can achieve its ambitious goals, gain mainstream interest and adoption, and attract institutional investment from traditional investors, that price target may not be so unrealistic after all. At the same time, this isn’t impossible, as ADA has delivered over 3,000% profit for its holders in the past.
