MARKET BRIEFING
Crypto. It can be difficult to focus sometimes when everywhere we look is green. Amongst the impressive rallies all around, two have caught our eye. Worth noting the LINK rally off the back of Grayscale Investments, the worldās largest digital asset manager, adding Chainlink cryptocurrency to its Digital Large Cap Fund. XRP has also been performing strongly, with CoinDesk citing support from the XRP community as the likely driver.
Legacy. S&P 500 futures edged lower, suggesting the rally that drove the gauge to an all-time high may pause amid fresh block trades related to the implosion of Archegos Capital Management.Ā

Top 3 Altcoin Pick
1ļøā£$SOL
Daily
Price was rejected at $17.347 before coming back up to test and ultimately break the level shortly thereafter. To maintain our bullish bias, we need this $17.347 level to hold as support. Note that this level is not only a psychological support as a retest of the breakout but is also confluent with the 0.618 Fibonacci level and multiple moving averages.Ā
? Given Solanaās currency hype and momentum in the market, however, I do not expect the $20 psychological support to break and this level would be a valid high risk entry.Ā
For traders looking to build a more aggressive position, they may look at the $22 level. Note, however, that this is a high risk entry because price has already rallied upwards of 40% in one week.Ā
If we lose the $20 level, I expect the short term aggressive bullish momentum to slow and price to retest the 0.5 Fibonacci level at $18.50. This would be a valid long entry for traders looking to build a position.Ā
On the upside, Iām looking for $28, confluent with the 0.236 extension, and $30, one of the biggest key psychological resistance levels for the coin.
2ļøā£$UTK
Daily
Like $SOL, $UTK has also rallied nicely over the past week having moved 30% to the upside.Ā
Whilst the market structure is technically bullish the $0.67 level needs to hold as support. If this level fails to hold, our bullish market structure is invalidated and we will need to reassess in the short term.Ā
? Traders looking to get long can buy this $0.67 level. If the $0.67 level fails to hold as support, then price action will begin to look like a double top.Ā
A less risky, higher probability play would be to wait for price to breakout above the $0.75 level. If we do break this level, Iāll target very simple psychological resistance levels, namely $0.75, $0.80, and $1.00.
3ļøā£$ERN
4 Hour
We see that price recently bounced off the 0.382 and 0.5 Fibonacci levels and rallied 30% to the upside shortly thereafter. This provided fantastic opportunities for day traders and scalpers.Ā
That said, the price has since come down and broken the 0.618 Fibonacci level support. This level is currently acting as resistance which is a bearish sign in the short term. However, I am extremely bullish on this project as it fits the NFT narrative, so I do expect to see further upside after we reclaim the 0.618, 0.5, 0.382 Fibonacci levels as support respectively.Ā
? Iād like to remind you that of the 3 altcoins Iāve shared here, $ERN has the lowest market cap. This means whilst you can benefit from quick 30% moves to the upside, the volatility also works against you when price moves to the downside. This makes the asset relatively risky.
In the short term, we want to see the 0.786 fibonacci level continue to hold as support before a move back up.
