Happy Monday! Today's crypto market update is looking like a fun one! Let me know below what your thoughts are on the week ahead. The Market: The Crypto Market is continuing its early 2026 consolidation phase with decent gains after caution from the late 2025 volatility. We are getting support from steady ETF inflows, selective risk flows into Privacy and DePin, and improved liquidity. Bitcoin (BTC): Holding firm above $90k support. Momentum stays neutral/bullish short term. I wouldn't be surprised to see some resistance at the $94k-$95k level. Ethereum (ETH): Consolidating above $3,100 with rising network growth and DeFi activity. Sentiment dipped a little bit due to overexcitement concerns. Solana (SOL): Showing relative strength with ecosystem momentum and ETF related interests. Currently holding well above the $138 support and will be targeting $145 is momentum continues. ZCash (ZEC): Privacy focus is still driving outperformance with shielded adoption metrics strong. Up significantly in spots on whale buys and narrative. Broader Market: AI and DePIN sectors are extending their rallies. Selective alt-coin outperformance over pure meme/hype plays. Sentiment: We are sitting in a zone still associated with ongoing caution from late 2025 fear, but seeing a shift toward neutral signals that we may be starting to stabilize. Some people see this area as accumulation before the pump. Overall, the market is grinding higher while investors are waiting to see what happens next. Everything seems fairly fragile still but with building support. Most likely will see a good amount of volatility around Fed signals. Prolonged fear zones often come before reversals 👀 As always, DYOR. Let's have a great week!

Crypto markets seem to be kicking off 2026 with strong rebounds. There is heightened risk appetite due to the whole US/Venezuela situation going on. Bitcoin and other majors are showing good signs of strength while trading volume and ETF inflows are continuing strongly. Bitcoin (BTC): Touched $93k, had a slight pull back, and now surging again. Seems to be building on early year momentum. Ethereum (ETH): Seems to be holding steady as well with DeFi and staking interest. Solana (SOL): Consolidating with institutional infrastructure tailwinds. Zcash (ZEC): Privacy narrative continues to outperform markets. Up significantly YTD on shielded transactions. Broader Narratives: Risk-on with AI tokens, memes, DeFi, L2s all looking strong. Seems to be some selective rotation into utility/privacy plays. Fear looks to be washing out with liquidity volumes rising, fed rates holding at mid 3%, and M2 money supply sitting around $22.32 Trillion. Overall, early 2026 is showing a building recovery. Sentiment is finally rising above extreme fear. Prices are grinding higher. Keep an eye on macro (fed) and geopolitics for volatility. Typically a prolonged fear->neutral historically shows of coming strong moves. As always, DYOR.
