Trader Notes: Degen Hardy noted that Bitcoin has retraced into a macro range between $101,000–$110,000, with potential long entry zones at $96,000 and $91,000–$92,000. He advises traders to remain patient as the market develops.

Michael van de Poppe commented that Ethereum’s drop was sharper than expected, but the strategy remains unchanged: buy the dip. He sees the move as temporary and believes the same approach applies to Bitcoin.

Crypto Daily Trade Signals flagged the continued legal overhang from the Ripple vs. SEC case as a drag on XRP. Despite recent partial wins, the unresolved litigation adds uncertainty, especially for U.S. traders, but the long-term outlook remains positive if Ripple expands its global remittance footprint.

On Solana, Andrew Griffiths pointed out a pullback to the $144–$145 demand zone, a structurally important level. He set a stop-loss at $139.20, with potential upside targets at $160.65, $168.22, and $179.32, assuming buyers regain control.

Trader Tardigrade highlighted a Rate of Change (ROC) breakout on Dogecoin, comparable to the setup seen ahead of its 2021 bull run. He suggests DOGE may be poised for another strong upward move.
