13 billions $ Trillion Schwab ajoute $SOL , $AVAX & $LINK : ce que cela signifie réellement
Charles Schwab a confirmé aujourd’hui qu’il ajoutera Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) et Chainlink (LINK) à sa plateforme Schwab Crypto dans les prochains mois.
Les paires spot BTC/ETH ont été lancées en mai 2026, des futures crypto 24/7 ont suivi en juin, et désormais trois altcoins rejoignent la liste.
$BCH JUST DID EXACTLY WHAT WE EXPECTED: STILL $2,000-$3,000 POTENTIAL? 🚀
In my previous analysis, I said #BCH could drop into the $200-$170 accumulation zone. It perfectly followed the setup and dumped to around $181, right inside our support/accumulation zone.
Since then, $BCH has bounced ~68% from our entry zone. Hope you’re happy with the move and enjoyed the setup! ❤️
$2,000-$3,000 is still my long-term potential target, if the bullish structure continues to play out.
$VIRTUAL Is Up 40% From Our Accumulation Zone... But The Real Move May Be Just Starting
#VIRTUAL Has Corrected Nearly -90% From Its Cycle High And Is Now Trading Inside A Multi-Month HTF Triangle. Price Has Already Delivered Nearly 40% From Our Accumulation Zone And Is Now Approaching A Critical Resistance Area That Must Be Broken For The Next Major Bullish Expansion.
Technical Structure: ✅ Nearly -90% Macro Correction Into HTF Demand Zone ✅ ~40% Rally From Near Accumulation Zone ✅ Multi-Month Weekly Triangle Compression ✅ Weekly Bullish Order Block: $0.435–$0.315 Holding Strong ✅ Higher Lows Against Descending Resistance = Ongoing Accumulation ✅ Current Price Near Critical Resistance Zone ✅ Key Breakout Level: $1.01 (HTF Structure Shift) ✅ Major Resistance: $1 → $2 → $4+ ✅ Secondary Buy Zone: $0.150–$0.08 (FVG + Breaker Block) If Revisited
Current Phase: Late Accumulation → Pre-Breakout
Scenario 1 → Bullish Breakout (Above $1.01): A Weekly Close Above $1.01 Would Confirm The HTF Structure Shift And Could Open The Path Toward $1.82 And Eventually $4+ If Momentum Continues.
Scenario 2 → Final Liquidity Sweep: Failure To Break And Hold The Critical Resistance Could Trigger Another Pullback. If The Weekly OB Fails, Price Could Potentially Revisit $0.150–$0.08, Creating A Deeper Long-Term Accumulation Opportunity.
Bull Cycle Targets: $1 → $2 → $4 → $10+
The $0.435–$0.315 Weekly Order Block Remains The Key Accumulation Zone, While $1.01 Is The Most Important Breakout Level To Watch.
$VIRTUAL Has Already Moved Nearly 40% From Our Accumulation Zone. Now Price Is At A Critical Resistance Area, A Clean Breakout And Acceptance Above This Zone Could Trigger The Next Major Bullish Rally.
$ETH Gave Us 61% Profit From Our Entry: Next Target $10K Or Back To $2K?
$ETH Just Delivered 61% From My Initial Entry. Hope You Enjoyed The Move. Our $1,600-$1,500 Accumulation Zone Has Already Played Out, And ETH Is Now Testing The Most Important Level: $2,500.
From An HTF SMC Perspective: ▶️ $2,300-$2,500 = Major Bearish OB / Supply Zone ▶️ HTF Close Above $2,500 = Bearish Structure Invalidated ▶️ Break + Retest = $3,500 Becomes The Next Major Target ▶️ Above $3,500 = $7K-$10K Long-Term Expansion
But If $ETH Gets Rejected From This Supply, $2,000 Could Be The Next Liquidity Magnet.
I'm Not Chasing Here. $2,500 Is The Line In The Sand. Break It → $3,500 → $7K-$10K Reject It → $2,000 First.
The Next Big eth Move Could Be Decided Right Here.
Bitcoin Is Near The Biggest Trap Zone - Watch $82,800 Level
#BTC Has Just Exploded Nearly 27% In 4-5 Days, And FOMO Is Coming Back Fast.
But Here’s The Part Most Traders Are Ignoring: ➡️ A Strong Pump Does NOT Automatically Mean The Bearish Structure Is Over. ➡️ BTC Is Now Approaching The Most Important HTF Decision Zone: $79K-$82.8K.
The Market Structure Is Still Clean: Previous LH → $82.8K Current LH → Between $79K-$82800 Target LL → Below $57K (Could be Below $50K)
Until $BTC Breaks And Closes Above That Last Major LH $82,800, The HTF Bearish Structure Remains Valid.
My Base Case: If BTC Reaches $79K-$82.8K And Gets Rejected, This Area Could Become The Next LH And Open The Door For Another Major Downside Leg toward New Low below $57,000
Potential Next LL: Below $57K Major Downside Target: $50K Or Lower
The Risk/Reward Is Interesting Here Because The Invalidation Is Very Clear And Relatively Tight. But This Is NOT A Zone For Blind High-Leverage Shorts, Price Confirmation Matters.
And There Is One Level That Changes Everything: HTF Close Above $82.8K = Bearish Thesis INVALIDATED.
That Would Confirm A HTF CHoCH And Potentially Mark The Start Of A New Bullish Structure.
So Don’t FOMO Into The Pump. Let BTC Reach The Decision Zone.
$82.8K Decides Whether This Is A Bullish Breakout… Or Just Another Lower Low Below $50,000.
$LTC Price Forecast | Is $1,000 Possible? | Analysis By CryptoPatel
#LTC Is Currently Testing A Multi-Year Ascending Trendline Support That Has Held Since 2017, A Rare, HTF, Cycle-Level Structure.
And The Key Update: $LTC Finally Delivered A Strong Bounce From Our $40 Accumulation Zone After The Zone Was Filled. Price Is Already ~20% Up, While My Targets And Overall Chart Structure Remain Unchanged.
The Last Time This Setup Formed, LTC Delivered: ✅ 2015: +812% (8x In 4 Months) ✅ 2017: +6671% (66x In 10 Months) ✅ 2021: +1747% (17x In 19 Months) ❓ 2026: +1700% (17x)?
Current Technical Structure: ✅ Multi-Year Ascending Trendline Support Confirmed ✅ Strong Bounce From Our $40 Accumulation Zone ✅ ~20% Up From The Accumulation Area ✅ Currently Holding The $40 Support Zone ✅ CryptoPatel Targets: $400 / $700 / $1,000
If This Structure Holds, The Technical Projection Remains $500–$1,000 LTC Over The Cycle.
Why Expect 4x–12x From Here? The Last Major Breakouts From This Structure Produced Massive Rallies Of 800%, 6671% And 1700%.
With The Next Litecoin Halving Approaching In April 2027, A Move Toward $500+ Could Be On The Cards If The Macro Structure Continues To Hold.
My Chart Remains The Same. My Targets Remain The Same. The First Major Confirmation Is Already Here With The Bounce From $40.

Two Binance employees were reportedly detained and questioned by UAE authorities over suspected irregularities involving third-party fund flows through a Binance client-money account.
But here’s the important distinction: Binance says the employees were not investigation targets, were only asked to provide statements, and were later released.
So far, there are no confirmed charges against the employees.
UAE regulators appear to be scrutinizing how third-party funds move through crypto platforms. For Binance, the investigation itself matters, even if no wrongdoing is ultimately established.
$BTC surged to $72.8K, its highest level since June, before settling around $72.5K.
Two things helped fuel the move:
🇺🇸 US Treasury bond buybacks are set to double, sending long-term yields lower. 🏛 Trump met with crypto executives and backed US Bitcoin purchases and the CLARITY Act.
The rally also triggered a major short squeeze, with $1.60B in shorts liquidated.
#BTC is now testing the $73K area. If buyers can hold above it, the next major target comes into view.
On the long term $80k is still doable especially with major altcoins following the movement but we need still wait to have a confirmation from the White house side about the war in Iran because any major conflict now can stop this bullish trend.
Crypto just witnessed a MASSIVE liquidation event. 👉 194,548 traders liquidated 👉 $3.07B = Long liquidations 👉 $298M = Short liquidations 👉 Biggest single liquidation: $48.8M $BTC position
#Ethereum has a likelihood of retesting around $2,200, which could lead to further movement. However, #Bitcoin 's performance will primarily influence #Ethereum 's trajectory, unless there is a significant shift in the $ETH / $BTC ratio.
