Zinger Key Points
- A leading crypto trader advises starting portfolios with Bitcoin, Solana, and meme coins like TRUMP and DOGE.
- DOGE remains resilient despite market volatility, while Ethereum has solidified its position as this cycle's potential top performer.
New cryptocurrency investors should stick to proven assets and several big meme coins, according to a prominent trader on social media.
What Happened: If you’re building a crypto portfolio from scratch, Bitcoin BTC/USD, Solana SOL/USD and Hyperliquid HYPE/USD are “must-haves,” said Altcoin Sherpa, a widely-followed trader on Tuesday on X.
Meme coins like TRUMP TRUMP/USD, Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Fartcoin FARTCOIN/USD could also be worth considering, the trader further noted.
Sherpa added he doesn’t see many alternatives worth holding in the current market climate.
| Cryptocurrency | Price | Market Cap | 24-Hour Trend | 7-Day Trend |
| Bitcoin BTC/USD | $102,325.30 | $2 trillion | +2.5% | -2.7% |
| Solana SOL/USD | $235.08 | $114.4 billion | +2.1% | -3.9% |
| Hyperliquid HYPE/USD | $23.48 | $7.8 billion | +10% | -2.5% |
| OFFICIAL TRUMP TRUMP/USD | $29.31 | $5.9 billion | +7.9% | -25.9% |
| Dogecoin DOGE/USD | $0.3303 | $48.8 billion | +1.9% | -13% |
| Fartcoin FARTCOIN/USD | $0.9085 | $908.5 million | -4.8% | -49.2% |
Trader Notes: Sherpa teased an important upcoming level for Bitcoin in a recent tweet, alluding to the $105,000 level as pivotal for Bitcoin.
Bluntz Capital noted Solana's pullback has created a new structure and predicts Solana is now primed for a new all-time highs.
Femto XBT highlighted HYPE as a standout token due to its strong fundamentals, driven by its role as a decentralized exchange (DEX) token.
Key drivers include airdrops for staking rewards, daily buybacks and its position as a high-performance chain token in this bull run.
His recommended buy levels are at $20, $15 and $11.
Cold Blooded Shiller sees bullish potential for TRUMP, noting a divergence forming just below the $32 resistance.
A reclaim of $32 could mark a more sustained bottom for the meme coin.
Meanwhile, trader Hoeem shared that while he’s accumulating today, he distributed heavily last week.
Ongoing whale accumulation is adding optimism to Dogecoin's outlook.
