ENA has been under pressure since its earlier highs, tracing a similar pattern to ETHUSD logically, but recent developments and a potential bottoming pattern have caught my attention.I’ve been actively trading ENA myself and have noticed a promising uptrend forming since the daily chart signaled a bottom, followed by the 3-day timeframe triggering a rapid surge when ETHBTC started trending up not long ago (https://www.tradingview.com/x/jWIAqeKC/). Now, a larger weekly signal might be on the horizon, which matches ETHUSDT and BTUSDT chart developments. Once this signal fires, which could happen next week onwards, the probability of triggering a monthly signal with 600% to 4900% upside targets from here will be quite high.Why ENA? A Quick Technical Overview of EthenaEthena is a synthetic dollar protocol on Ethereum, offering USDe and USDtb, crypto and treasury-bond backed stablecoin alternatives to fiat-based stablecoins like USDT or USDC. USDe maintains its dollar peg through crypto assets paired with short futures to hedge volatility and earn the future funding rate (when positive) as revenue for the protocol, providing a decentralized, globally accessible savings tool called the "Internet Bond." USDtb is backed by high quality short duration treasury assets including BlackRock's BUIDL fund exposure.The ENA token enables governance and value capture. Staking it gives you partner project airdrop points as well as points for Ethena Season 4 airdrop that is coming out this year as the protocol expands.Bullish Catalysts and News*Airdrop farming for holders of ENA: Season 4 will run until September 24th 2025.You can earn multiple airdrops by holding staked ENA and locking it or using Pendle to do liquidity provision (keep YT mode on) or buying YT tokens if you want to take a leveraged airdrop farming (high risk/high reward). I mainly do LP with my holdings. Season 3 airdrop was quite good, I expect Season 4 to be even better as prices are likely to go much higher long term.*On November 15, 2024, Ethena agreed to share a portion of its approximately $200 million in protocol revenues with tokenholders, which includes buying back its native ENA tokens. This initiative is part of a broader trend among DeFi protocols to enhance token value through revenue-sharing mechanisms like buybacks and fee switches. Ethena’s revenue, primarily from minting, redemption, and yield-generating mechanisms tied to its USDe stablecoin, supports this program, with the protocol recently achieving a daily revenue of $3.28 million. Additionally, Ethena plans to enable a fee switch to share revenue directly with ENA stakers once certain conditions are met, further aligning tokenholder incentives with protocol growth.Best of luck!Cheers,Ivan Labrie.

WWIF has been a disaster since the Sphere top signal, but recently it formed a bottom pattern alongside other liquid memes, listed at futures platforms like Hyperliquid.I trade these memes actively myself and have caught the up trend since the daily bottomed.Now a larger weekly signal can trigger, I think it's interesting as a leading indicator for risk appetite in broad crypto, as these #memecoin and #AI tokens have shown reliable patterns with profitable swings for those adept at trading them.Keep an eye on memes next week, the recent daily chart weakness I observed after the signal I talked about in my last post* ran out of time can be reversed easily (already signaled in 4h charts in most coins).*I had pinpointed the last daily up trend in it, which led to a nice rally into the upper Bollinger Band before triggering a down trend signal after time for the signal expired.https://www.tradingview.com/chart/WIFUSD/TdawV5Fe-WIF-Uptrend-signal-active/Best of luck!Cheers,Ivan Labrie.

Nice signal in WWIF here, the trend in the daily timeframe has been bullish since April 18th, and has been giving us multiple continuation signals to trade in and out, or scale in with low risk as we move the stop higher if playing it longer term.If prices hold above recent lows, we can see a close to 50% run from here within a week give or take.Best of luck!Cheers,Ivan Labrie.

COOK and MNT are DeFi gems with strong upside. COOK governs mETH Protocol (TVL: $2.19B, 4th-largest ETH staking platform), MNT fuels Mantle L2 (33B TVL, 29% address growth, 44% new users). With Methamorphosis Season 3 (until Sep 22, 2025) airdropping 250M COOK via Powder points and the Cook feast rewarding holders, you should not miss out on these. Ways to farm farm S3: *Stake mETH/cmETH (0.02 ETH min, 10 Powder/day per mETH) *Lock MNT, or engage with dApps (e.g., Karak, Pendle). COOK Feast:*Rewards locking COOK for COOK Power on Mantle L2, boosting rewards with longer lock-ins. Best of luck!Cheers,Ivan Labrie.

Interesting setup in the official meme coin launched by POTUS #47.My suggested stop is quite tight compared to potential upside.Yuge rr in this trade.Best of luck!Cheers,Ivan Labrie.

Seems like XAUUSD triggered a weekly up trend again, you can see it has been trending up strongly since I called the long term trend in Gold would take place a while back (see related ideas). Trump's ideas regarding inflation and rates might influence the Federal Reserve's actions going forward, perhaps the market is pricing this in now.Historically, precious metals move in correlation to real interest rates, that is, inflation adjusted interest rates. At times, Gold might be affected by broad scale deleveraging at times of market stress, since it acts as collateral for many investors, or it might be bought as a hedge for geopolitical risk. In normal periods, real rates influence price the most.Best of luck!Cheers,Ivan Labrie.

GM guys, I will be brief.XRP is bullish until June 2026, which matches the forecast in TOTAL and SOLUSDT, so I think it will pan out. Upside is big but not that wow, might underperform after this insane run until cycle top.I rather hold SOL, yeah.Best of luck!Cheers,Ivan Labrie.

GN gents, quick post here, I had some nice signals to buy ETH if you have cash or want to trade futures, risk is 30% down from here vs potential of going as high as $16,000.Best of luck,Cheers,Ivan Labrie.PS: this is in no way an allocation recommendation but rather a hopefully accurate prognosis of the future price action of Ethereum from here. I hold no ETH myself. I will buy some perps here only.

The latest turn of events have got me thinking about parallels to the Gold market back in 2010.The Timemode chart pattern in the quarterly timeframe is indeed very similar, the last leg up of a multi-year trend happened back then, following a drastic change of stance for nation states and central banks who went from historically being net sellers of the precious metal, to accumulating Gold reserves since 2010 onwards.Until 2020, tradfi entities were reluctant to get involved with crypto, but things changed thanks to Michael Saylor legitimizing Bitcoin with his bold strategy to adopt it as a balance sheet asset for his company, Microstrategy, which eventually led to a self-reinforced trend of other companies acquiring Bitcoin until COIN IPO'd and the market topped shortly after.Since ETFs launched, new entrants from the tradfi world have been entering the market, gradually, but surely. Initially only self-directed retail money joined the fray, and now more and more funds, companies and even pension funds are buying the ETF.Nation-states may be next: both RFK Jr. and Donald Trump might endorse this idea of acquiring Bitcoin reserves for the US of A. That is certainly reminiscent of 2010...With each new wave of buyers, the question arises: who's left to push prices even higher after everyone's done buying?What's beyond Nation States? Clearly, by the time this pans out, we might face a period where price might stagnate or go down for a longer period than what crypto investors are accustomed to since the creation of cryptocurrencies in 2009.The timing for this idea fits what Timemode projections indicate: a top will likely take place in a year from now. Until then, the trend remains bullish, and possibly spectacularly so.Another thing worth considering is crypto's similarity to internet adoption, in which case, we are right in 1999, one year before the Dot Com bubble top...but the interesting part is that after a long grind, eventually mass adoption happened, and enormous gains were made by investors who held on to the likes of Google, Apple, Amazon, and so on.Very interesting to see what lies ahead, but the period in between might be very slow and frustrating if we chose to remain invested after the market tops in a year.In the mean time, we have some time to deal with the supply overhang from Mt Gox repayments and ETHE outflows, but things are shaping up nicely for a bullish move during August onwards, which fits the chart variables well, with the potential added bonus of FT repayments in USD hitting the market then too.Enjoy your weekend and best of luck!Cheers,Ivan Labrie.PS: zoom out to see the targets, Tradingview is bugged and the scale isn't working well.You can see the monthly developments clearer here: note that price has remained sideways and most of the time was spent trading in the 59-64k range.This 'mode' constitutes 'fair value' where most of the accumulation took place in this consolidation, before the next leg up.How can we tell when the consolidation ends and the trend resumes higher?We need a 'range expansion' bar to break out from the range where price was trading at, or like in this case: a higher low than the 'mode' on close.If this month's close is higher than 64k odds are high that we stay above 64k during all of August and then break away from the sideways pattern price was tracing since the end of February.Now look at monthly Gold from 2010 to 2011...Notice the circled month, price formed the same pattern as now in Bitcoin, a monthly mode forming inside a quarterly trend, in the 4th quarter since the trend initially flashed.The next month, a signal formed on close with a higher low and the trend resumed higher.Then this pattern repeated one last time, culminating with a monthly trend hitting 3 times the projected target range at the top, and the time for the monthly signal expiring 1 bar after the high, at the open.This happened after the time expiration of the trend signal in quarterly timeframe, as you know, Timemode signals predict both a price target and a time duration for the price swing towards said target.Once price reaches the target or time expires, risk of a consolidation, correction or reversal increase. In this case you had two timeframes signaling high risk (also yearly timeframe trends active in Gold then, but that is a different topic).Other than technicals, the common thread is the late stage feel the current turn of events give me, considering the size of buying required to send prices higher, we now are recruiting the largest possible entities to buy at higher prices: pension funds and soon maybe even governments and central banks.This is definitely reminiscent of Gold back in 2010, and is a cautionary tale for people who simply want to bag hold forever, it might be very frustrating for a long time if this prognosis is correct, after the market tops in a year from now.

IMXUSDT offers a low risk entry here, which could end up being a long term bottom after a correction in monthly/quarterly scale.This is a project with interesting developments in the game-fi niche, which is currently one of the most hated narratives alongside NFTs. They have invested over 1 Billion in their game ecosystem, and offer a convenient way to use crypto securely while gaming. You simply create a passport signing up with Google for instance, and enjoy gasless transactions under the hood, it is easy to use and allows games to reward players and have sustainable in-game economies. Fairly interesting stuff.Currently you can participate from a campaign to earn gems and future IMX rewards for playing some games as well, check that out here: passport.immutable.com/rewards/Create your passport here: passport.immutable.com/(You can also use your existing ETH wallet for this but it's not necessary and more complicated.)Best of luck!Cheers,Ivan Labrie.For now the daily chart signal failed, watching as long term trend is active still across the board.2nd wind:
