What analysts are saying:

• Maintaining above US$ 70,000 is ESSENTIAL for the continuation of the recovery

• Optimistic scenario: Breaking US$ 75k may quickly lead to US$ 80k

Technical Analysis ETH:

✅ Psychological support: US$ 2,000 📉 RSI in 4h: 32 points (oversold territory) ⚠️ Alert: Loss of US$ 2,000 may lead to US$ 1,694

Experts' recommendation: For Brazilian investors, the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy is the most prudent at this time of volatility. Don't try to hit the exact bottom of the market!

📰 HOT NEWS FROM THE CRYPTO MARKET

1️⃣ Vitalik Buterin BLASTS Superficial DeFi

The co-founder of Ethereum harshly criticized much of today's DeFi, saying that many strategies prioritize speculation over true decentralization. Buterin proposed a framework for "real DeFi", highlighting algorithmic stablecoins with over-collateralization.

2️⃣ BitMine Buys 20 MILLION ETH for US$ 41.98 Million!

Attention traders! More than US$ 278 million in tokens will be unlocked this week, with major launches from:

• 🔺 Avalanche (AVAX)

• ⬢ Aptos (APT)

• 🔗 Connex

🎯 WHAT TO EXPECT FOR THE NEXT DAYS?

For Bitcoin:

• ✅ Optimistic Scenario: Maintenance above US$ 70k + increasing volume = target US$ 75k-80k

• ⚠️ Neutral Scenario: Lateral consolidation between US$ 68k-72k

• ❌ Pessimistic Scenario: Loss of US$ 70k = correction to US$ 62k-65k

For Ethereum:

• ✅ Optimistic Scenario: Breaking US$ 2,616 = "Still Cheap" zone activated

• ⚠️ Neutral Scenario: Staying in the accumulation band US$ 1,872-2,616

• ❌ Pessimistic Scenario: Loss of US$ 2,000 = test of US$ 1,694

Factors to Observe:

1. 📊 US inflation data this week

2. 🏛️ Federal Reserve decisions

3. 💰 Institutional capital flow

4. 🌍 Geopolitical stability

💡 TIPS FOR BRAZILIAN INVESTORS

✅ DO:

• 📈 Consider DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) in the accumulation zone

• 🎯 Set stop-loss below critical supports (US$ 70k BTC / US$ 2k ETH)

• 📚 Study the Rainbow Chart to understand market cycles

• 🧘 Stay calm - volatility is normal in crypto

❌ DON'T DO:

• 🚫 Use high leverage at this time of uncertainty

• 🚫 Try to time the exact bottom of the market

• 🚫 Invest money that you need in the short term

• 🚫 Panic over normal corrections

🔮 CONCLUSION: OPPORTUNITY OR TRAP?

With US$ 30 billion returning to the market in 24 hours, positive signals from Asia and Europe, and Bitcoin defending US$ 70,000, sentiment is changing. However, the recovery is still fragile and needs confirmation.

The million-dollar question: Are we at the beginning of a new leg up or just taking a breath before more drops?

The answer will come in the next 3-5 days. If BTC breaks US$ 75k with volume, the party continues. If it loses US$ 70k, prepare for more turbulence.

📌 Stay informed, invest responsibly, and never risk more than you can afford to lose!
