The leader held its breakout. After reclaiming 220.21 and running to 223.75, NVDA is consolidating just under the 225.58 high at 223.85, holding the gains rather than giving them back. Wednesday's resumption is intact and price is coiling right below the high that would extend the trend. Structure is bullish and the low at 217.73 held twice before this. The leader is set up to test 225.58, with August 26 earnings the risk ahead. Neutral.
Resistance: 225.58 - the high, the breakout level
Key resistance: 226.52 - open air above
Current price: 223.85
Support: 222.43 - first support
Key support: 220.21 - the reclaimed level Structural floor: 217.73 - the twice-held trend line
Two paths from here:
It breaks 225.58 and extends to new highs. Consolidating just under the high without giving it back is a bullish coil. A break of 225.58 opens 226.52 and clean air, resuming the leader's trend. The setup favors it.
It rejects 225.58 again. The high has capped price before, and a rejection could rotate back to 222.43 or 220.21. A loss of 220.21 would put it back in the range. The high is the level to clear.
NVDA held its breakout and is coiling under 225.58 - the leader set up to test its high. A break of 225.58 opens new highs; losing 220.21 drops it back into the range. Earnings on the 26th is the risk into any new high.
#XRPUSDT has spent weeks inside a falling structure, but the 4H chart is now compressing near its lower boundary. Buyers repeatedly defend $1.00–$1.01, while the smaller triangle is approaching its breakout point. A push through $1.025–$1.030 could open the way toward $1.05 and the major descending resistance around $1.07.
🧠 Why XRP is interesting now • U.S. XRP ETFs reportedly hold roughly 930M XRP, removing a meaningful amount of supply from active circulation. • XRP ETFs attracted $27.29M in July, their fourth consecutive month of net inflows. • At the same time, XRP is sitting near the psychological $1.00 level — making the current compression especially important technically.
✨️🚨💫 NTRS is seeing strong buying interest, with the stock continuing to make higher highs and higher lows while trading above its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, confirming the prevailing uptrend.
Northern Trust Corp. is a $35 billion
market-cap financial holding company that provides asset servicing, fund administration, asset management, fiduciary, and banking solutions to corporations, institutions, families, and individuals. The company operates through two primary segments: Asset Servicing and Wealth Management. Its Asset Servicing segment provides custody, fund administration, brokerage, banking, and related services to institutional clients, while its Wealth Management segment offers trust, investment management, custody, financial consulting, estate administration, brokerage, and private and business banking services.
NTRS is classified as a wide-moat company, supported by its scale, established institutional relationships, and high switching costs. The company has achieved year-over-year revenue and EPS growth in each of the last three quarters. Operating and net margins stand at 39% and 29%, respectively, while ROE and ROIC are 17% and 12%. Its current ratio is 1.6x, while debt-to-equity
stands at 1.2x.
Looking ahead, NTRS is forecast to grow both revenue and EPS year over year over the next three quarters, providing a positive fundamental backdrop. However, the average analyst price target of approximately $187 suggests that investors should also consider the stock's current valuation and potential upside relative to expectations.
💫✨️ Standard Chartered just raised its long-term price target for $LINK to $200.
That’s roughly 25× its current level near $8.
Why the bullish outlook? Chainlink’s growing role as critical infrastructure for tokenized assets, connecting DeFi and traditional finance across the full asset lifecycle.
If tokenization keeps expanding, LINK could be one of the biggest beneficiaries.
#ETHUSDT The latest sell-off stopped around $1,850–$1,860, right at the lower boundary of the new formation, and 📈buyers have already pushed ETH back toward $1,890. On the 4H chart, the compression is getting tighter: reclaiming $1,925–$1,940 would put the upper trendline and psychological $2,000 area back in focus.
🧠 What caught my attention today? • U.S. spot ETH ETFs recorded only -$1.7M net flow on Aug. 11 — a sharp slowdown from -$14.6M the previous session. • BlackRock’s ETH fund itself stayed slightly positive at +$0.6M, while Fidelity accounted for -$2.3M. • That leaves cumulative U.S. ETH ETF net inflows at roughly $11.45B — institutional exposure remains substantial despite the latest cooling in flows.
⭐️Price is holding $1,850 even while ETF flows remain weak. If fresh demand returns, this technical compression could become much more important.
Wallets holding more than 10,000 BTC have added 46,420 BTC over the past 2 months - the strongest accumulation from this group since mid-March. That really stands out because almost everyone else is doing the opposite; the contrast is pretty clear:
10,000+ BTC wallets → +46,420 BTC
0.1-1 BTC wallets → -9,700 BTC
In fact, the 10,000+ BTC caste is currently the only major wallet group showing net accumulation. Of course, these giants can be to institutions, ETFs, companies or individual whales - so we don’t know exactly who is buying.
But we do know one thing: if these large wallets keep absorbing supply while BTC holds around $65K, they could become one of the strongest sources of spot demand in the market.
✨️✨️ Whales just quietly stacked 20K BTC ($ 1.2B) in the last 8 days alone, per Santiment mid-tier wallets (10-10K BTC) loading up while retail keeps dumping into weakness
Meanwhile spot ETFs pulled in $754M this week, their strongest showing since April, so smart money's clearly not waiting for permission.
BTC's still coiled below $65K resistance though, and analysts say we need a clean close above that level before the pump narrative gets real legs 📊
CryptoQuant's entity-adjusted data backs this up too total whale balances have climbed from 2.9M to over 3M BTC this year even as price slid from six figures into the low $60Ks.
Historically this kind of accumulation-into-weakness pattern shows up near cycle bottoms, not tops but "historically" isn't a guarantee, so don't confuse quiet buying with an imminent moonshot 🚀
Bottom line: supply's tightening in strong hands, the setup's bullish on paper, but $65K is the line in the sand until it breaks, this is accumulation, not liftoff.
The same breakout that started the 2017 and 2021 Altseason is happening again.
ISM just hit 55.6, its highest level in 4 years, breaking above the same line seen before mega runs.
Better ISM manufacturing means better liquidity and stronger risk appetite.
Here's the simple logic. When factories start doing better, money usually gets looser and people get more comfortable taking risks. That's usually when cash starts flowing out of bigger assets into Bitcoin BTC and crypto.
It doesn’t overnight. Both times, it took months to fully play out. But if this pattern holds again, this could be the first real sign that alt season is starting to build for 2027.
Of course, there are still 6 months left before the candle closes, and it’s entirely possible that we’ll even close it green, with wicks on both sides. But the precedent is already interesting.
As I’ve shown before, we’ve never had 2 green years followed by a third red year. The usual narrative from all the 4-year cycle believers is that after 1 year of decline, we get 3 consecutive green yearly candles.
Well… something went wrong this time 😊
Now, for the first time, we could potentially get 2 consecutive red yearly candles.
But I’m sure the cycle cultists will find an explanation for that too and say:
“Everything is still according to plan. It’s exactly like before.”
#ANKR is bouncing from the lower channel support, but the main confirmation is a breakout of the descending trendline. A break could target $0.0055–$0.0063, while rejection keeps the downtrend active.
That means long traders are paying shorts, a sign that bullish positioning is building.
But if Bitcoin loses the $62K level while funding stays elevated, the market could trigger a flush of overleveraged longs before establishing stronger support.
💫✨️ More than 32,000 BTC were sent to exchanges at a loss on August 1 by short-term holders, making it one of the biggest loss-selling days in the past 30 days, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost.
This means many investors who bought Bitcoin recently decided to sell for less than they paid after the market declined.
The data shows that short-term holders were under pressure during the recent pullback, while activity continues to offer a clearer view of market behavior.
Large waves of loss-selling have appeared during previous corrections and are often closely watched as signs of changing market sentiment.
