Another big #Crypto downturn today & brutal pullbacks. It may continue. There's fearful sentiment & much uncertainty.

I'm not concerned in times like these, my strategy is to #HODL long-term.
I may buy #Bitcoin #BTC, #Solana #SOL, and #Ethereum #ETH if the price drops further.

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · 5d

Strange week.
What will happen next?
We don't know.

But look at it this way:
#Bitcoin #BTC stable over $100k
#Solana #SOL settled at $200
#Ethereum #ETH holds over $4k

They may drop again.

But think about in 3 years.
Will the #Crypto market be worth more than it is now...?

There's a significant bounce back in the #Crypto market today after the huge liquidation on Friday.

I believe that was due to organised manipulation, and the immediate signs of large positive movement today continue to signal a strong market.
But let's see how it goes this week.

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · 9d

Tariff talks are back in play & now we have some big #Crypto pullbacks.
The two go hand in hand.

Market manipulation is rife in this sector, but don't let it sway your long-term conviction. Ups & downs are normal

Its a good #BuyTheDip opportunity for #Bitcoin #BTC, #ETH, SOL

Despite minor pullbacks across the #Crypto market, it's holding up well.

If you acquired #altcoins in previous cycles that hold no further long-term interest for you, then it could soon be a good time to consider ditching them to increase your other conviction #HODL positions

#Bitcoin #BTC just hit a new #ATH over $125k.
Here's 5 reasons why BTC is so appealing -

1. Fixed 21M supply - deflationary
2. Divisible to satoshis - has utility
3. P2P transfers - no middlemen
4. Instant global portability - beyond borders
5. Solid uptime - reliable tech

#Bitcoin #BTC hovers at $120k after a big run today, sparking a solid #Crypto market pump.
#Ethereum #ETH is over $4.4k
#Solana #SOL still holds above $220 Prices across most mid & small caps have been on a big drive.
Great momentum after the recent pullback.

#altcoinseason?

#Bitcoin #BTC has surged past $116k fueling a broader #Crypto rally.

#Ethereum #ETH has hit $4.3k
#Solana #SOL holds firm above $215

Green candles are signalling fresh momentum, a natural pump after recent dips.
Utility & institutional flows are keeping the long game strong.

Some signs emerging today of a #Crypto market recovery after the recent sudden decline.

Some analysts believe these big pullbacks after growth is manipulation by market makers, targeting new retail buyers who sell at a loss out of fear, bringing prices down to then re-buy.

Not beyond possibility!

Some brutally sharp pullbacks across #Crypto this week.

$300B wiped
#BTC dipping to ~$109k
#ETH at $4k
#SOL holding $203

Many analysts are saying its the final cull before a fresh growth tide.
Certainly positive signs, but we're in volatile times.
I zoom out & #HODL steady.

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · 27d

Some huge liquidations today affecting #Bitcoin #BTC, #Ethereum #ETH, #Solana #SOL & most others.

But as always with these sudden pullbacks, I recommend to zoom out, switch off from your portfolio value, and focus on other things.
High volatility is normal in this #Crypto space.

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · 28d

If you're interested in #altcoins with a strong utility narrative, back in February I mentioned #StoryProtocol #IP which I believe has long-term potential.

Its been growing steadily for the past few months & just jumped 18% to a new All Time High, currently sitting at $12.

Have you heard of #Onchain IP?
Programmable Intellectual Property #PIP.
#IP that can be programmed into #Blockchain apps.
Eg: an artist's IP is programmed into #dApps, creates usage & generates income.
Particularly powerful when combined with #AI training & content.

Some major news for #Base -
After consistently denying the possibility of having a native token, Base founder Jesse Pollack announced they are now considering it.
This is likely due to the clearer regulatory landscape that has been emerging.

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · Sep 15

Some big pullbacks across the entire #Crypto market, most notably #Solana #SOL, but #AERO has been holding up.

AERO is considered a proxy representative token for #Base, since Base doesn't have a native token.
AERO's strength could reflect a strong belief in the Base ecosystem.

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · Sep 12

Some strong positive movement in the #Crypto market today.

Key #altcoins have been on a run -
#Solana #SOL at $239
#Ethereum #ETH back at $4.5k
#ONDO is back over $1
#AERO now at $1.24

Even #Bitcoin #BTC has pushed up to $115k

Perhaps because a rate cut is widely anticipated

#Solana #SOL has run up to $220 today despite not much movement across the wider #Crypto market.

On the macro side, the #PPI figures are released later today, with #CPI figures due tomorrow.
These could affect the markets, so let's see what happens over the next few days

Big moves are happening despite the current #Crypto price sentiment volatility.

Example: Stripe teamed up with Paradigm to develop an L1 payment-focused Blockchain.

Think how many companies use Stripe...
This is the kind of activity that can drive large-scale adoption

The last few weeks in #Crypto have been strange.
A nervous outlook, lack of growth momentum, yet relative stability among key #altcoins & #Bitcoin.

#BTC sits around $110k
#Ethereum #ETH at $4.5k
#Solana #SOL holds over $200
#AERO (an indicator for #Base) is strong at $1.2

Thats pretty good IMO

Sentiment can change so quickly in #Crypto.
Just a day ago people were lamenting a pullback with doom & gloom scenarios.
Today #Ethereum #ETH hits a new All Time High & #altcoins are hitting double digit % gains.
Its a volatile time & pullbacks currently seem to be short-lived.

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · Aug 18

During this up/down volatility in the #Crypto market it's good to zoom out & see the bigger picture around how adoption is consistently growing.

An example -
Supermarket giant Spar is now trialling accepting Crypto payments in 300 stores in Switzerland

cointelegraph.com/news/spar-su...

Spar rolls out nationwide stablecoin and crypto payments in Switzerland

Spar will offer shoppers crypto payments across 300 Swiss stores in the next few months, as the first stage of nationwide implementation.

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · Aug 14

As usual after a good run of prices driving upwards, we now experience a pullback.
Entirely natural & normal. Traders want to take profits.

I #HODL - so pullbacks don't bother me.

The #Crypto market has been steadily growing throughout its existence, and that will continue.

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · Aug 14

And the #Crypto rally continues..
#Bitcoin #BTC hit a new All Time High today at $124k, whilst #Ethereum #ETH is approaching its previous highest position

The Crypto market value is now over $4 trillion.
The current run could attract more retail interest to boost it even further

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · Aug 13

#Solana #SOL is back over $200 in a wider positive #bullrun amongst #altcoins.
#Ethereum #ETH continues its run, now hovering around $4.7k

I'm currently monitoring for a good time to offload some of my small cap #alts, but I'll keep those that I believe have long-term potential

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · Aug 12

Many #altcoins have been making big gains despite minor pullbacks.
But the big run on #alts may not have started yet

#Ethereum #ETH is not far from $4.6k, which could be an early signal of a potential #bullrun for other big caps like #Solana #SOL, currently $190

#Bullish times!

Crypto Flow State @cryptoflowstate.bsky.social · Aug 9

#Ethereum #ETH is back over $4k, a significant move.
The last time it happened was the big #Crypto run at the end of last year, and that was only for a short period.

Will it be different this time? Can it keep running up?

It does feel like we are in an #altcoinseason
