The Chainlink LINK cryptocurrency is down almost 6% in 2025 year-to-date, continuing a month-long struggle. The altcoin had a solid 2024 in terms of growth, however, has failed to continue that momentum into 2025. Fortunately, the asset hasn’t fallen dramatically, maintaining above the key resistance level despite the struggles. Still, what’s wrong with Chainlink in 2025, and will its time come to rebound? Over the week, the Chainlink (LINK) token has crashed 13%, reflecting the entire market’s struggle, where Bitcoin has dropped below $100k. Though this is happening under the impact of various macroeconomic events, the concern is more about its continuity. Multiple positive catalysts have come for the crypto market in 2025, including a pro-crypto US government judicial administration. The market has shown signs of potential but is still warming up. When Will the Chainlink (LINK) Rebound Begin? Come altcoin season this Spring though, tokens like LINK expect to finally get th...

A closely followed crypto analyst says that one top-50 altcoin by market cap is primed for an explosive breakout. Crypto trader Michaël van de Poppe tells his 745,200 followers on the social media platform X that the native token of the Bitcoin (BTC) layer-2 project Stacks (STX) could increase 70% from its current value as the coin challenges a key resistance level. “The Bitcoin ecosystem fires up. STX attacks the recent high, and is likely breaking through this resistance zone. Next stop? I think a new all-time high.” Source: Michaël van de Poppe/X STX is trading for $2.29 at time of writing, up nearly 20% in the last seven days. STX reached an all-time high of $3.86 in April. Next up, the analyst predicts that Bitcoin will hit six figures for the first time in its history if it can break through the $98,000 resistance level on the four-hour chart. “Bitcoin should break $98,000, and then we’ll see $100,000 with 100% certainty as it brea...

The recent Ethereum price movements have sent ripples throughout the crypto sphere, and a surge in whale transactions has added to the excitement. Amidst this heightened activity, a lesser-known altcoin, RCO Finance (RCOF) , is emerging from the shadows with projections of a staggering 23,102% increase. This remarkable forecast has piqued the interest of investors seeking the next potential high-growth opportunity in the altcoin space. Whale Activity Signal Further Ethereum Price Surge Ethereum's price has recently surged to $3,200, garnering market interest and some concern as large transactions occur among the whales. Justin Sun's recent sale of 19,000 ETH, which is equal to roughly $60.83 million, has significantly triggered market sentiment on Ethereum's future.   Although Sun sold the altcoin for a profit, it is a small portion of his total Ethereum, indicating that his overall outlook is still bullish. Similarly, addresses on the Ethereum network have tra...

A closely followed crypto strategist believes that one decentralized finance (DeFi) altcoin is gearing up for “explosive” rallies. Pseudonymous analyst Altcoin Sherpa tells his 215,400 followers on the social media platform X that the native token for lending platform Aave (AAVE) could soon spark another leg up after trading in a range for weeks. “AAVE’s true move coming again soon.

The Open Network coin from Telegram (TON) is one of many altcoins on the crypto market that has seen a steep drop this past week. The asset is notably down 21% in the last seven days and hasn’t picked up much steam yet to rebound. Trading volume for the coin is also down, showing that buyers are hesitant to swoop up its current dip. Despite its current drop, some analysts suggest that the TON coin is undervalued, and investors should take advantage. According to on-chain data, readings from TON’s Market Value to Realised Value (MVRV) ratio show that the altcoin is currently undervalued. This flashes a signal to buy for investors, and whales are reportedly eyeing the token for massive purchases. Source: Bitcoinist On-Chain Data Suggests That TON is Undervalued In addition, data over the weekend revealed that TON’s MVRV ratios assessed over different moving averages are negative. Its MVRV ratios for the 30-day and 90-day moving averages were -6.39% and -6.87%, respectively on ...

The crypto currency market, renowned for its volatility and high-stakes nature, has always held a particular fascination with altcoin s. These assets, emerging in the shadow of Bitcoin [BTC], have offered the allure of massive returns. Bitcoin, for instance, has seen a slight drop and was trading at $65,700. However, recent market trends indicate that the era of extraordinary altcoin gains might be drawing to a close. Waning Altcoin Prospects Altcoins are increasingly perceived as high-risk investments with declining chances for significant returns. Markus Thielen, head of research at 10xResearch, captures a widespread view among crypto analysts. He said, “While tactical opportunities exist, the era of 100x returns may well be behind us.” This skepticism about the current dynamics of the altcoin market is widely shared within the community. Thielen points out that the expected altcoin bull market has not significantly materialized. The lack of substantial reta...

Stellar’s pre-announcements may have caused traders to create multiple scenarios for potential XLM developments, but their impact on the XLM price could be short-lived. The Stellar token experienced a notable 11.5% increase in value between Sept. 2 and Sept. 8, a novelty given that Bitcoin and most altcoins are down for the week. The surge came after Stellar (XLM) tested the $0.113 support level, which marked its lowest point in the past eight weeks. The price upswing followed a preliminary announcement made by the Stellar organization on social media.  While the announcement was somewhat cryptic, it hinted at something significant occurring on Sept. 12, with phrases like “something cool is dropping” and "change” on the horizon.

RocketSwap Labs plans on reaching out to the exploiter on-chain, who stole an estimated $865,000 from the protocol on Aug. 14. Base project RocketSwap Labs has outlined its emergency programme to bounce back from a brute force hack which swiped $865,000 or 471 Ether (ETH) from the protocol on Aug. 14. The team explained on Aug. 15 that they plan on redeploying a new farm contract and open-source it on-chain, relinquish minting rights — presumably of RCKT — and will soon call on the hackers to return the assets, among other things: The emergency programme agreed upon by the team is as follows. 1. We plan to redeploy a new farm contract by dropping the proxy contract and open sourcing it on-chain. 2. The new farm will advance the production reduction plan by 0.075 per block. 3.

This week’s episode of The Market Report explores allegations that SBF was behind the recent BALD token rug pull and dissects why Bitcoin is falling below $29,000. In the latest episode of “The Market Report,” analyst and writer Marcel Pechman discusses the BALD token rug pull and the allegations pointing toward FTX founder Sam “SBF’ Bankman-Fried as the culprit. The token launched on Coinbase’s Base network, which is currently under development, and witnessed incredible gains between July 30 and 31. Pechman notes that it is impossible to know how much fake volume and how many trades involving the same entity or small groups were used to prop up BALD’s price on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Further evidence for this hypothesis is the 85% price plunge shortly after BALD’s developer removed the liquidity deposited in DEX pools. According to internet sleuths, the evidence pointing to SBF being the mastermind of the rug pull includes funding from wallets associated with FTX and Alameda ...

Bitcoin’s price action remains lackluster, but select altcoins are showing signs of breaking out of their respective resistance levels. The 25 basis point rate hike by the Federal Reserve on July 26 and the subsequent commentary by Fed Chair Jerome Powell failed to catapult Bitcoin (BTC) out of its range. This suggests that the event did not have any surprises and the outcome was already priced in by the markets. The crypto markets continued their lackluster performance on July 28 after the United States Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index print came in lower than analysts’ expectations. The PCE is the Fed’s preferred inflation metric hence it is watched closely by market observers. Daily cryptocurrency market performance.
