While the market fixates on degen trading, AVAX continues to fly under the radar. Yet, its ecosystem remains one of the most robust in the space. Here’s why it deserves attention:Avalanche at a Glance High-speed, multi-chain architecture – Subnets enable independent blockchains with customized rules. EVM-compatible – Seamless migration for Ethereum dApps. Near-instant finality – Avalanche consensus achieves low-latency, high-throughput transactions.Market Position & Recent Developments TVL: 1.43B (9th among blockchains per DeFiLlama). Recent Institutional investments:- In December 2024, the Avalanche Foundation secured $250 million through a private token sale, with participation from firms like Galaxy Digital, Dragonfly, and ParaFi Capital. This funding supports the upcoming Avalanche9000 upgrade, aiming to enhance scalability and reduce transaction costs.- BlackRock launched its USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) on the Avalanche blockchain via Securitize, marking a significant move in asset tokenization.Tech Updates- the newest upgrade "avalanche 9000" is now live; the main objective - to lower fees 25 times - is successfully achieved.Price Action & Accumulation Accumulation since mid-2022 → Local rally in late 2024 with volume divergence. Price retesting previous accumulation highs (Creek) after rejecting breakout attempts. Volume profile insight: No major resistance zones above, suggesting minimal overhead sell pressure.Potential Trade Setup Considering a spot entry with manual exit, if next week's close confirms a higher low. Key level: $26 – Strong support from prior accumulation phase.Do your own research.Everything is priced in.Everything is on the chart.UPD: as the price has fallen below SL level, I'd like to open another trade with SL lower, at ~16.90. Don't be scared by such drastic price movements - long-term positioning provides peace of mind. We are talking weeks and months. See you in 2-3 months.

While the market is abuzz with hype surrounding Solana, meme coins, DOGE, and BTC, the WLF portfolio appears to be moving against the current trends. As the masses speculate on hot topics, true accumulation is happening quietly within the WLF portfolio. Here are some key points to consider:Important DisclaimersWe don't know the extent of Donald Trump's influence on the WLF portfolio.Other wallets involved in accumulation may exist. Assuming WLF wallets are the only ones at play would be naive.That said, the accumulated amount of $400 million is already significant, even for the Trumps.Ethereum Position Highlights$250 million accumulated in Ethereum alone represents substantial power to influence prices.OTC (over-the-counter) deals are likely the method of purchase, which means these transactions don't appear on typical volume histograms.Key ObservationsWLF’s Initial Ethereum Purchases:First buys: Made during a pullback, near the yearly range highs—a strong bullish signal for wallet watchers.No breakout: When no breakout of the maximum range occurred, further accumulation followed within a consolidation range.Accumulation range: Starting around late December and continuing to date.Chart Legend:The equity curve shows Ethereum’s balance on WLF wallets.Horizontal lines indicate the volume-weighted average price (VWAP).Green triangles illustrate ETH buys by WLFInstitutional BehaviorSmart money traders do not scalp or swing trade. Their smallest timeframe is daily. They operate over weeks and months.They don't rely on news; they create it or receive it first-hand.Speculations on Fund Manager's MindsetWhy buy on a pullback?- It signals confidence and long-term bullishness.Why purchase during consolidation?- Accumulating more for as long as you can.Broader Ethereum OutlookNegative sentiment? Check.Apparent weakness over the last six months? Check.Depressive ETH/BTC pair performance? Check.These factors align perfectly with a classic "smart money" accumulation strategy.In the meanwhile:Nobody seems to be talking about ETF being traded for a few months.TVL of a 'future deadchain' is ridiculously high,Major upgrade (Pectra, DYOR) arriving sooner than expected.Final ThoughtsWhat we’re seeing here is a textbook example of smart money behavior: negative sentiment creates opportunities, long-term positioning dominates short-term volatility.Do your own research.Everything is priced in.Everything is on the chart.and we've got another buy! 10M! intel.arkm.com/explorer/entity/worldlibertyfi

In the crypto space, it's quite difficult to talk about long-term trading because very few coins actually survive for a long time and continue to show cyclical dynamics. But when such coins do appear, their setups can be published in a textbook on technical analysis.On the weekly chart, we see a formed Wyckoff accumulation structure with almost all the features inherent to this structure on the chart.We can see how smart money accumulated their positions from mid-2022, conducted a local rally in early 2023, thus forming a range in which we have been for almost 2 years.This was possible due to the negative sentiment around the coin (tightening regulatory screws, delisting from a number of exchanges, including Binance on February 20, 2024) and the lack of speculative hype around XMR.However, the price has now broken out of the range and confidently consolidated above it, and right now there is a good opportunity in terms of Risk/Reward to go long on XMR.It should be noted that the trade will be positional, with a horizon of more than 6+ months. However, the wait may be justified because the volume profile on the chart does not illustrate large "walls," i.e., potential seller pressure across the entire price range up to the ATH. XMRUSD...and remember: everything's already priced in. You can read the whole story from the chart.As you see, the Creek has acted as a support level once again. Our position is pretty safe now.The scenario is unfolding (according to the rumors from the market, because of hackers buying XMR right now)We could possibly sell a portion of the position
