Digital assets rocket into uncharted territory as king crypto posts historic gains—while traditional finance scrambles to explain how they ’always believed in blockchain.’

The surge triggers altcoin frenzy as ETH, SOL, and meme coins ride BTC’s coattails. Exchanges report record volumes as both degens and institutions FOMO in.

Analysts whisper ’supercycle’ while risk managers quietly update their resumes. Meanwhile, goldbugs and central bankers develop sudden migraines.

Another day, another ATH in crypto land—where the only thing more volatile than prices are Wall Street’s excuses for missing the boat.

$105,377 has recently surged past $106,000, a critical price point that has rekindled Optimism within the altcoin market. Over the past few days, the $105,800 mark has been tested multiple times, suggesting that a significant breakthrough may be imminent. This development is reminiscent of previous bear markets in 2022. Will Solana$166 (SOL), XRP, and SHIB follow Bitcoin’s lead and see significant gains?

Solana (SOL)

Postponements in applications for ETFs have become commonplace. However, this does not necessarily obstruct possible approvals anticipated in November. The SEC had previously delayed decisions regarding BTC and ETH before eventually granting approvals.

Considering the current situation, BTC remains above the critical $106,000 threshold and has frequently tested this level. This scenario provides opportunities for altcoins, with ETH striving to reclaim the $2,500 mark.

SOL Coin is hovering around $167, with the crucial support at $168 to maintain its upward trajectory. Successfully holding this level could lead to testing new peaks at $173 and $188. Before approaching its all-time high, SOL must firmly reclaim the $203-205 range. Unexpected developments could arise in the upcoming hours.

XRP and SHIBA Coin

Fluctuations in BTC’s price will likely persist, akin to the past few days. The primary concern is whether brief downturns aimed at capturing short-term liquidity will swiftly result in rebounds. Key to stimulating risk appetite is the fast recovery of prices after each dip, allowing momentum to continue.

Shiba Coin is holding above its $0.00001413 support, signaling significant volatility and upward tails. Although an agreement related to tariffs initially propelled SHIB to $0.00001765, it fell short of surpassing this level. Currently positioned just above its $0.0000137 support, SHIB could initiate a more robust recovery if it achieves closes above $0.000015.

XRP Coin’s price stands at $2.335. Repeatedly, it’s been noted why further gains are warranted at this level. $2.3 and $2.2 are significant support points, and XRP bulls aim to transform the $2.55 level into support, with a target of returning to $3. These key areas warrant observation.
