To be honest, at 5 a.m., the market chart is steadier than I expected.

BTC is hovering around 64,500. It’s up half a percentage point in 24 hours, but over 7 days it’s +2.1%. I like this pace—no violent pump, just a slow grind higher. ETH is doing fine too: 1,912, up +2.6% over 7 days, moving in sync with BTC, with no seesaw effect. The Fear & Greed Index is stuck at 50, in the neutral range. What does that mean? It means the market hasn’t hit FOMO yet, and it’s not panicking either. In such conditions, it’s often the best window to set up positions.

I have to say, at this level the “big cake” (BTC) is in a bullish structure. On the daily timeframe it’s holding above 64,000, funding rates are normal across the board, and there are no overheating signals. ETH follows the big brother’s steps: if it can hold the 1,900 integer level, the next target is 1,950–1,980.

But today, what really caught my eye is ACE.

+46.22%, and 24-hour trading volume is 544M USDT—this isn’t small-time action. The Fusionist “AAA game” narrative, developed independently using the Unity engine—honestly, in this sector, it has real substance. The gaming track has been brewing recently. Today, ACE breaks out on volume; the daily chart straight-up prints a big bullish candle. I think this trend can continue. My idea is: you can look for a long-biased opportunity if there’s a pullback to the 0.215–0.220 zone. Place the stop loss below 0.198. First target: 0.260. If sentiment keeps heating up, 0.300 isn’t impossible either. One reminder though: after such a surge, coin volatility is extremely high—position management matters more than directional judgment.

CLO and ALPINE are also worth mentioning.

CLO is up 26.74%, but its funding rate is 0.1307%, which signals long-side overheating. Chasing at this point isn’t great in terms of price-performance; wait for a pullback instead. ALPINE is up 23.18%, with a funding rate of -0.0195%, indicating short-side overheating. It’s an F1 team concept coin—this kind of market action suggests the shorts are still stubbornly holding on. Once shorts start covering, there could be another wave. But note: ALPINE is event-driven, and the heat tends to fade quickly—don’t get stuck holding it for too long.

On the losers’ board: STAR -24.59%, KORU -23.96%, SKYAI -21.88%. These are either new coins or high-valuation “high bubble” types. Honestly, this kind of drop is just a normal pullback after they ran up too much earlier—nothing to panic about. If anything, remind yourself: don’t catch a falling knife.

On the trending search list, Wiki Cat (WKC) ranks #1. Animal-coin hype comes fast and goes even faster—I’m not really into that. What’s truly worth paying attention to is Ether.fi (ETHFI) and Solana (SOL). ETHFI has real demand in the LSD track. As for SOL, you don’t even need to say it—ecosystem activity has been consistently alive. Its funding rate is 0.0100%, which is normal and healthy.

Personally, my view is: this market cycle isn’t over yet, but the pace will diverge. BTC and ETH are the anchors. Heavier-position holders can keep holding; lighter-position holders, a pullback is an opportunity. Among altcoins, the gaming track and the AI track are the two main lines. ACE has already made its statement today—next, we’ll see whether the “follow-through” crowd joins in.

Finally, here’s my specific plan: for BTC, add on a pullback in the 63,800–64,000 range, with a stop loss at 63,200 and a first target at 65,500. For ETH, follow BTC: long bias in the 1,880–1,900 range, stop loss at 1,850, target at 1,950. For ACE, follow the idea above—but remember, don’t let your position exceed 10% of your total funds.

There are always opportunities in the market. The key is not to make the wrong decision at the wrong time. What do you think about this ACE surge? Is it the start of a new gaming-season, or just a one-day pulse tour? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
