SOL Technical Analysis Apr 29

Solana (SOL), approaching a critical support test at the $82.27 level, has captured a positive catalyst with Meta selecting the Solana blockchain for stablecoin payments via Stripe integration; however, bearish momentum maintains its dominance.　　Market Outlook and Current Situation　　Solana is trading at $82.27 with a 1.79% decline over the last 24 hours, as the overall crypto market continues to be dominated by a downtrend. Trapped in the $81.40 – $85.56 range on the daily timeframe, SOL remains strong in terms of liquidity with $3.04 billion in volume, but the decreasing volume indicates weakening trend strength. Bitcoins sideways movement is pressuring altcoins, and SOL remaining below its short-term EMA20 ($85.09) gives a bearish short-term signal. In this context, market participants are closely monitoring developments in the SOL spot market.　　Across the market, the Solana ecosystem is gaining momentum from recent news: Meta is launching stablecoin payments for creators using Stripe on the Solana and Polygon blockchains. This development highlights SOLs advantages in high transaction speed and low costs, but the price action has yet to reflect this positive news. With the downtrend continuing on the weekly perspective, a confluence of 4 strong levels across 1D/3D/1W timeframes provides investors with a clear roadmap: 1

Robinhood (HOOD) Shares Drop 9% as Crypto Revenue Plummets

Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD) shares sank 9.4% in after-hours trading after the company reported $1.07 billion in Q1 revenue, missing Wall Street expectations by 6.1%.

CEO Vladimir Tenev noted that the company is shifting focus toward building long-term crypto infrastructure and integrating assets with “real-world utility.” He highlighted what he called a “tokenization supercycle” on the horizon, signaling Robinhoods pivot toward blockchain-based products.　　Prediction Markets Shine Amid Crypto Weakness　　While crypto struggled, Robinhood‘s prediction market platform, Robinhood Predictions, delivered strong results. The platform saw record engagement in Q1, with 8.8 billion event contracts traded—an impressive 780% increase from its initial full quarter in

Why The Bitcoin Price Could Hit $68,000 Again

The Bitcoin price is currently sitting on a key support trendline that could determine its next major move. According to a crypto analyst, a breakout from this level could lead to two possible scenarios. On the bullish side, the cryptocurrency could extend its recent price recovery and push higher. However, in a bearish scenario, the analyst predicts a steep decline, with price possibly revisiting $68,000. Given the significance of this trendline, analysts and traders are closely watching to see how Bitcoin will react here.　　Bitcoin Price Sits At Critical Make Or Break Trendline　　Crypto market analyst Ardi has presented another compelling Bitcoin price analysis on X. However, this time, he has outlined two potential price scenarios for the flagship cryptocurrency. While others believe that Bitcoin may have entered bullish territory following its surge above $79,000, Ardi still maintains a cautious stance even as he projects possible bullish scenarios.　　In his post, Ardi noted that the Bitcoin price is currently sitting at a critical technical area where two key support levels are converging. He said that these supports include an established ascending trendline pointing toward $79,418 and a liquidity zone around the $77,300 level.　　According to him, this ascending trendline has guided Bitcoin‘s price action

Bitcoin Price Hold Support Zone as Heavy Shorts Dominate Market

Bitcoin stays below $78K resistance as weak demand limits upside despite easing sales.Support at $65K-$70K holds firm, with $68K now the key short-term level to watch.Spot selling has eased, while weak demand and elevated short exposure still cap upside.　　Bitcoin remained capped below key resistance after failing to hold above the True Market Mean near $78,000. Support stands at $65,000 to $70,000, where buyer activity has built over two months. Spot selling has eased, yet demand remains weak, and short exposure stays high.　　According to the Glassnode report on Wednesday, rejection came at the same zone flagged earlier as the main ceiling for the current bear market rally. Price failed to stay above the True Market Mean at $78,000 and the short-term holder cost basis at $79,000.　　$68K Support Holds as Selling Pressure Persists　　However, focus has now shifted to support near $68,000. That level marks the -1 standard deviation band of the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis. It stands as the nearest structural support in the short to mid-term.　　Source: Glassnode　　On-chain data showed how the rejection developed. The 24-hour simple moving average of short-term holder realized profit rose sharply as Bitcoin moved toward $80,000.　　That reading climbed to about $4 million per hour. It was around

Powells Last Pause: A Divided Fed, a Frozen Bill, and Bitcoins $250K Bull Case in Retreat

The benchmark federal funds rate stayed in a target range of 3.5% to 3.75%, a third consecutive hold, with the committee citing “developments in the Middle East” as a key source of economic uncertainty. The vote itself was the more interesting tell — an 8-4 split, with Governor Stephen Miran pushing for an immediate cut and three more dissenting against language that left the door open to easing later in the year.　　For Bitcoin, the read-across was unambiguous and immediate. BTC, which had spent the morning trying to clamber back above $77,000, drifted lower on the announcement and was trading near $75,400 by late Wednesday in New York. Ether followed it down, slipping under $2,250. The pair extended what is now a multi-week decline from local highs near $79,500 on April 21, and a roughly 40% drawdown from October 2025s all-time high near $126,000.　　Why the Fed sat tight　　The macro backdrop the FOMC pointed to is genuinely awkward. Brent crude has been pinned above $100 a barrel for most of April as ships continue to struggle to transit the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint through which roughly 20% of seaborne oil flows. The US national average gas price hit $4.22 a gallon

Powell to remain Fed governor despite Trumps unprecedented criticism

Jerome Powell says he will continue to serve as a Fed governor, calling Trumps criticism “unprecedented.” The odds of Powell stepping down as Fed Chair by May 14 are at 4.9% YES, up from 4% yesterday.　　Powells firm stance has dampened expectations for his early departure. The May 14 market shows minimal movement, suggesting traders are not pricing in a sudden resignation. The May 15 market is more volatile, sitting at 73.5% YES, which points to traders expecting some catalyst right after the May 14 resolution.　　The term structure shows a 69-point jump from May 14 to May 15, suggesting a specific event or announcement traders believe will land immediately after May 14. The May 31 and June 30 markets price Powells eventual departure with high confidence, at 96.2% and 99.4% respectively.　　USDC trading volume is $7,068 daily in the May 14 market and $7,888 in the May 15 market. The May 15 market is thin: just $507 would shift the price by five points, meaning a single significant order could cause a sharp move.　　Powell‘s statement works against the case for his immediate departure. At 5¢, buying YES on May 14 pays $1 if he steps down, a 20x return. Traders should weigh

Iran offers combat insights to SCO allies, impacting US-Iran ceasefire outlook

Tech　　Iran offers combat insights to SCO allies, impacting US-Iran ceasefire outlook　　Irans proposal to share combat experiences against US forces with SCO allies has traders reevaluating the odds of a US-Iran ceasefire. The market for a ceasefire announcement by April 30 is at 1.1% YES, down from 3% yesterday and 16% a week ago.　　Market reaction　　Iran‘s offer at the SCO summit strengthens anti-US military alignment and is dragging down the US-Iran ceasefire market. This coincides with Iran’s insistence that the US naval blockade violates the current truce, adding further downward pressure. The April 30 contract sits at rock-bottom levels.　　Why it matters　　For the US-Iran diplomatic meeting by June 30, the “no meeting” odds are 22.2% YES, up from 16% yesterday. Iran choosing military alliances over diplomacy is bearish for direct negotiations with the US, pushing odds higher that no talks materialize by the deadline.　　The ceasefire market has $17,092 in total USDC traded, and it takes just $1,875 to shift the price by 5 points. This is a thin market where a few large trades create outsized moves. The largest price move was a 3-point drop, consistent with trader skepticism about any near-term diplomatic progress.　　What to watch　　At 1¢, a YES share pays $1 if
