Meteora is trading near $0.178 after gaining about 11% in 24 hours. CoinMarketCap ranks it #166 with a market cap near $96M. The important detail is volume: 24-hour trading volume has increased roughly 124%, giving the move stronger confirmation than price alone.
Technical picture: • Price is testing the $0.177–$0.180 upper boundary of its multi-week range • The 20-day EMA sits near $0.166 and the 50-day EMA near $0.160 • Daily RSI is around 58, showing improving momentum without an overbought reading
Key levels: Support: $0.170–$0.174, $0.165–$0.166, then $0.160–$0.161 Resistance: $0.180–$0.185, $0.191–$0.195, then $0.200
Bull case: A convincing daily close above $0.180, backed by sustained volume, would confirm the breakout attempt. Holding the $0.174–$0.178 area on a retest could open a move toward $0.191–$0.195 and potentially $0.200.
Bear case: A rejection followed by a loss of $0.170 would weaken the setup and put $0.165 back in play. A daily close below $0.160 would invalidate the short-term bullish structure, with $0.157 becoming the next key defense.
Fundamentally, Meteora reported $32.1B in H1 2026 trading volume, $164.3M in fees and $18.2M in protocol revenue. However, H1 volume was still 54.8% below H2 2025, and scheduled monthly token unlocks remain a dilution risk.
Confirmation matters more than chasing the first green candle.
$BTC losing the 200-week MA definitely deserves attention, but I wouldn’t call it 2022 all over again just yet.
The 200W MA is sitting around $64K and BTC is already fighting back above that level. What matters now is not one candle below it, but whether Bitcoin starts accepting price below the MA on weekly closes.
In 2022 BTC spent months below this long-term trend level while the entire market was deleveraging. Today the setup is different, even if the chart looks uncomfortable.
For me, $64K is the line to watch. Hold and reclaim it convincingly and this could become another bear trap. Lose it for several weeks and the $60K area becomes much more vulnerable.
The next few weekly closes matter more than the headline. #BTC #Bitcoin
Zilliqa ($ZIL) is trading around $0.00221, sitting near fresh cycle lows after another period of weak price action. With $ZIL well outside CoinMarketCap’s Top 100, the setup is worth watching, but buyers still have work to do.
The broader market structure remains bearish. Price continues to trade below its key short and long-term moving averages, while momentum is approaching oversold territory. RSI near 30 suggests selling pressure may be getting stretched, but an oversold reading alone is not enough to confirm a bottom. Volume also remains relatively weak, showing that buyers have not stepped in aggressively yet.
Key levels:
Support: $0.00218–$0.00222 Major support: $0.00200
Resistance: $0.00230–$0.00231 Next resistance: $0.00247–$0.00250
Bull case: $ZIL holds the current support zone and reclaims $0.00231 with improving volume. That would be the first meaningful sign that short-term momentum is shifting back toward buyers.
Bear case: a sustained loss of $0.00218 would keep the bearish structure intact and put the psychological $0.00200 level in focus.
For now, this looks like an oversold watchlist setup rather than a confirmed reversal. The confirmation I want to see is simple: reclaim $0.00231, hold it as support, and bring volume back. Until then, sellers still control the broader trend.
Crypto is giving us a pretty interesting setup right now.
Bitcoin is holding above $65K despite the weak U.S. jobs report, but underneath the surface there are some very different signals.
• Strategy sold another 1,690 BTC while raising $653M through share sales. • Grayscale dropped its Cardano, Polkadot and Hedera ETF plans. • The CLARITY Act remains pushed back to September. • CPI arrives this week and could become the next major macro catalyst.
And then there's MARA.
The miner reported a $611M Q2 loss and sold roughly 23K BTC for $1.63B, leaving its treasury at around 35.5K BTC.
At the same time, MARA is pushing deeper into AI and HPC infrastructure while the stock trades around $9.60.
That's what makes this market interesting:
Miners are selling. ETF money is still coming in. Regulation is moving slowly. Bitcoin is still holding $65K.
For me, CPI is the next big test.
If inflation comes in softer than expected while BTC continues holding this area, things could get interesting fast.
