BITCOIN AT A CROSSROADS — WILL THE FED TRIGGER THE NEXT BIG MOVE?

BITCOIN AT A CROSSROADS — WILL THE FED TRIGGER THE NEXT BIG MOVE?

With Bitcoin testing the $80K area, I'd focus on established altcoins with strong liquidity, real usage, and relatively manageable token dilution rather than chasing whatever is pumping.

My top five to pull up on TradingView are AAVE, LINK, UNI, SOL, and ONDO.

Why it's interesting

What I'd watch

1

AAVE

Established DeFi lending, mature supply

4H higher low and breakout volume

2

LINK

Oracles, cross-chain infrastructure, tokenization

LINK/BTC relative strength

3

UNI

Leading DEX ecosystem, matured original vesting

Daily resistance reclaim

4

SOL

High-liquidity L1, active trading ecosystem

SOL/BTC and ecosystem activity

5

ONDO

Real-world asset tokenization

Volume confirmation and remaining unlocks

6

PENDLE

Yield trading and DeFi

TVL, protocol fees, and price structure

7

ENA

Synthetic-dollar ecosystem

Stablecoin growth and supply pressure

8

HYPE

Perpetual trading infrastructure

Trading activity, fees, token unlocks

9

ETHFI

Ethereum staking infrastructure

Revenue, TVL and vesting

10

PEPE

Ethereum meme liquidity

Spot volume and PEPE/ETH strength

Important: These are research candidates, not confirmed buys. In particular, ONDO, ENA, HYPE and ETHFI need careful unlock-calendar checks before considering longer-term positions.

What looks especially interesting this week

Recent market coverage highlights tokenized assets, DeFi lending, and perpetual DEXs as the stronger narratives, rather than a broad-based altseason.

I'd put these three at the top of today's livestream:

1. Aave (AAVE) — Best fundamental watch

Lending activity and token economics make it my preferred DeFi research candidate. Watch for a 4H trend reversal, but also investigate recent protocol risk reports.

2. Uniswap (UNI) — Best catalyst watch

CME futures exposure and Uniswap v4 developments are worth discussing. I'd look for UNI to outperform ETH before taking a long setup seriously.

3. Hyperliquid (HYPE) — Best momentum watch

Strong trading activity and revenue are the attraction. Significant future token supply remains the biggest concern, so I'd favor shorter-term confirmed setups over assuming it is a low-dilution long-term hold.

One token I'd be cautious about: ONDO. The tokenization narrative is compelling, but the reported January 2027 supply unlock deserves attention before establishing a longer-term position.
