The market saw a 9% decrease last week. Unfortunately for the bulls, there is even more downside in store. BTC’s weekly market structure flipped from bullish to bearish last week, suggesting the asset is now on a crystal-clear path toward $25,150, its nearest support level. Buckle up - we’re going for a ride.

TLDR 📃

  • The market has found some demand and will likely go higher in the coming days.
  • Despite this newfound demand, the market remains bearish and will reach new lows.
  • The Total Market Cap index has support between $1.03T - $950B. That’s exactly where we’re going.

The crypto market saw a 9% decrease last week, bringing it closer to our expected support level at $1.03T. Some demand was found and the market is rising as we speak, but our views haven’t changed and neither did the market’s trajectory  –  we’re still bearish.

Altcoins Market Cap (Weekly)

The Altcoins Market Cap index represents the evaluation of the altcoins market - all coins other than BTC.

$550B is our nearest support level, which the altcoins market is close to. We expect it to land there in coming weeks.

Cryptonary's Portfolio

BTC | Bitcoin (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272971 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272972 size-full

BTC is experiencing buying pressure on shorter timeframes, but the weekly market structure flipped to bearish last week. The demand we’re seeing will likely lead to a lower high being formed, after which BTC will start descending to $25,150 again.

ETH | Ethereum (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272973 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272974 size-full

ETH tested $1,740 last week and is now close to support. A $25,150 BTC will result in a sub-$1,740 ETH, so we should look at $1,650 as our next target for this asset.

DYDX | dYdX (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272975 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272976 size-full

On track for $1.80. This can only be a local level, so we are not expecting much strength once it is reached.

HEGIC | Hegic (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272977 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272978 size-full

Last week was completely nuts for HEGIC. That huge candle you’re seeing was a 90% increase, but sellers quickly stepped in and invalidated most of the buying pressure. For now, we should expect ranging and we recommend avoiding trading HEGIC because it can become very volatile.

PENDLE | Pendle (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272979 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272980 size-full

PENDLE managed to recover three weeks of downside in four days. Buyers aren’t playing around here, so it’s best to avoid trading if you’re inexperienced. For the time being, we need to wait and see how PENDLE reacts to resistance ($0.52).

DOT | Polkadot (Weekly)

RUNE | THORChain (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272983 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272984 size-full

On track for $1.

SOL | Solana (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272985 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272986 size-full

SOL is trading between two levels $22 and $19. We need to wait and see which one is broken first. Only then can we confirm its next move.

LDO | Lido DAO (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272987 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272988 size-full

Last week, LDO closed as a “bullish hammer”. This candlestick pattern usually signals upside and a trend reversal. In this case, that’s a bearish - bullish reversal. Although this isn’t in line with the rest of the market, buyers could actually push LDO’s price higher, and a weekly closure above $1.9775 will invalidate any downside.

SYN | Synapse (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272989 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272990 size-full

On track for $0.57.

MINA | Mina Protocol (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272991 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272992 size-full

MINA needs to reclaim $0.58 as support to prevent further downside. Unless that happens, it remains on track for $0.4650.

Astar | ASTR (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272993 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272994 size-full

Unless we see a flip of $0.05500 back into support, ASTR will be falling inside the huge accumulation zone it broke in January of this year.

THOR | THORSwap (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272997 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-272998 size-full

THOR is retesting $0.13 as resistance. A daily closure above this level will invalidate downside for the time being.

OP | Optimism (Weekly)

mobileshow aligncenter wp-image-272999 size-full mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-273000 size-full

OP remains on track for $1.40.

Cryptonary’s take 🧠

The market may have found demand on shorter timeframes, but our thesis is that this will end in a lower high formed, followed by a continuation of the bearish trend.

Action points 🎯

  • Avoid trading volatile assets (such as PENDLE, HEGIC and LDO) if you’re inexperienced. You could lose a lot of money.
  • Don’t get your hopes up. Remain rational  –  BTC broke its structure and is now bearish on the weekly timeframe. Downside is the only thing you should be looking forward to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
