🥳 With crypto coming to life again on Tuesday, commentary across social media reveals positive sentiment forming toward Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano.

🤔 Meanwhile, things are much more polarized for top 3 assets Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP.

📊 As 2025 has kicked off with roller coastering prices for crypto's top assets, the amount of hodlers have fluctuated wildly since the new year:

🪙 Bitcoin $BTC: +102K Wallets
🪙Ethereum $ETH: +645K Wallets
🪙XRP Ledger $XRP: +58K Wallets
🪙Cardano $ADA: +2.8K Wallets
🪙Dogecoin $DOGE: +29K Wallets
🪙Chainlink $LINK: -3.3K Wallets

If wallets are rising fast, the community is comfortable in the project for the long-term. If wallets are dropping, there may be some excess FUD that indicates an opportunity to buy (as a contrarian to the panicking crowd).

📺 A rocky start to 2025 has led to polarizing reactions from the crypto community. However, Santiment data indicates plenty of positive signs for traders with the patience to ride this out. Enjoy our latest video with Thinking Crypto!

📊 Average trading returns are a great representation of whether 'buying low' or 'selling high' is actually the right timing. Currently, wallets active in the past 30 days are in negative range for BTC, ETH, ADA, and DOGE, and the vast majority of altcoins.

When MVRV's are negative, this means a buy or addition to your holding is doing so while others are already at a loss. Historically, these 'blood in the streets' moments are when professional traders make money.

Trade with caution, and do not assume these opportunity zone signals will lead to an immediate turnaround. But probabilities are pointing to at least a short to mid term turnaround for crypto shortly, assuming economic or geopolitical factors don't get in the way. 🌎

📊 Bitcoin sits at just under $97K, and Ethereum back below $3.4K. The first week of January has still been mostly a bullish rebound to crypto's fade at the end of 2024. Altcoins like Stellar (+26%), Injective (+24%), & Cardano (+19%) look to continue their strong weeks.

🧑‍💻 Here are crypto's top overall coins by notable development activity the past 30 days. Directional indicators represent each project's ranking rise or fall since last month:

➡️ 1) Internet Computer $ICP 🥇
➡️ 2) Chainlink $LINK 🥈
➡️ 3) Hedera $HBAR 🥉
📈 4) Starknet $STRK
📉 5) Cardano $ADA

📊 With altcoins not slowing down on their historic runs yet, the euphoria from a week ago is showing trader fatigue. Even with crypto mainstays like XRP (+444%), Cardano (+280%), and Stellar (+512%) all having historic 30-day stretches, it appears that retail traders have grown a bit quiet after profit taking on earlier rallies in late November.

With markets historically moving the opposite direction of the crowd's expectations, the silence toward these top caps should be considered an encouraging sign that FOMO won't be interfering with any further climbs... at least not yet.

🤑 Cardano has tripled its market cap over the past 17 days, amazingly bringing it to the cusp of surpassing a $1.00 market value for the first time since April, 2022. Today was the highest day of trader realized ADA profits in 8 months, and social media discussions are currently at their highest level for the coin in 11 months.

📈 While eyes have been on Bitcoin making history, altcoins like XRP, Cardano, Stellar, Hedera, Mantra, and Algorand are growing their respective market caps rapidly. As long as BTC maintains a ~$95K+ support , expect November profits to continue redistributing to altcoins.

📈 Cardano is decoupled from the altcoin pack, nearly matching its 8-month high. Its price ratio against Bitcoin is also nearing an 8-month high. The last time we saw this level of ADA transaction and whale volume was in June, just prior to a +26% burst in the ADA/BTC pairing.
