Seeing the fluctuations in your cryptocurrency balance can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. Without a clear plan, making decisions becomes stressful. Setting clear investment objectives is the first fundamental step to keep you focused, make smart decisions, and develop a strategy for sustainable growth.

The Starting Point: Clear Objectives and Risk Profile
Successfully managing your portfolio starts with setting clear and realistic goals that align with your financial situation and risk tolerance.

Many cryptocurrency traders are still waiting for the next altcoin season to begin, Arthur Hayes said it has been underway since the beginning.

"There is always an altcoin season... and if you always say there is no altcoin season, it's because you didn't take advantage of what went up," Hayes said during a podcast interview published on YouTube on Thursday.

Hayes stated that many traders still expect the altcoin season to unfold in the same way as in previous years, assuming that the same cryptocurrencies and narratives will repeat. "We wanted it to be like the previous altcoin season because then we felt we knew what we had to do," Hayes said.

After analyzing the impact of Citigroup and ONDO, it is vital to monitor the assets that support all that architecture. While the market looks for a bottom, these three giants show seller exhaustion metrics that every Elite Force investor must monitor:

Chainlink (LINK) - Price: $8.29
State: Value in the Journal
1H: RSI at 44.54 (neutral) with a StochRSI at 22.85. The short-term chart is trying to stabilize.
1D: Here is the key data: RSI at 25.56. LINK is in a historically oversold zone on the daily. Although the StochRSI is at 65, the price is at institutional accumulation levels.

Today, February 12, 2026, we are witnessing a milestone in decentralized finance: U.S. tokenized stocks are no longer just assets "to watch", they are now assets to use. Ondo Finance has integrated Chainlink oracles to enable live price data for assets like TSLAon (Tesla), SPYon (S&P 500), and QQQon (Nasdaq 100).

The end of the static asset: Stocks as collateral
Until recently, having a tokenized stock was simply about tracking its price. With the integration of Chainlink, these assets now have on-chain verified prices, enabling:

For my Elite Force Investors, the market is showing its cards. We have assets reaching "deeply oversold" zones and others testing historical ceilings. Here is the analysis of the levels to watch:

XRP - Price: $1.359
Status: Looking for the Floor
1H: RSI at 33.05 and StochRSI at 19.84. We are very close to a technical relief bounce.
1D: RSI at 31.31. Watch here: the daily chart is already touching oversold, but the StochRSI at 74.56 suggests that the cooling could still have one last leg before the definitive reversal.

The crypto narrative has taken a definitive turn on February 12, 2026. World Liberty Financial, the project linked to Donald Trump, has revealed its masterpiece: World Swap. It is not just another conventional trading platform; its aim is to penetrate the foreign exchange market (Forex), a giant that moves $9 trillion a day.

What is World Swap?
Scheduled to launch this very year, the digital platform World Swap directly targets two pillars of the traditional financial system:

On February 12, 2026, Solana consolidates itself as the fastest growing institutional ecosystem. The network has received an unprecedented boost following the expansion of Citigroup's solutions, one of the largest banks in the world (with $2.6 trillion in assets), which has chosen Solana to tokenize and settle promissory notes.

The arrival of global banking
Citigroup is not the only one. Through its CIDAP platform, the bank plans to move massive assets to the blockchain, integrating custody, tokenization, and global distribution this very year. This movement is joined by giants like BlackRock, Galaxy Digital, and WisdomTree, positioning Solana as the nerve center of RWA (Real World Assets).

For my Elite Force Investors, today the radar detects extreme selling pressure. When indicators hit the floor, reaction traders find their opportunity.
Here is the technical breakdown of three assets at critical points:

UNI (Uniswap) - Price: $3.24
Status: Technical Capitulation
1H: RSI at 21.68 and StochRSI at 1.54. We are in the zone of absolute panic.
1D: RSI at 23.95. The oversold condition has reached the daily chart.
Verdict: The elastic is stretched to the maximum. Historically, these levels of overselling in UNI precede violent technical rebounds. $3.20 acts as steel psychological support.

The crypto market experiences a day of marked contrasts today. While the Ripple and Sui ecosystem celebrates institutional milestones, the technical indicators of Bitcoin raise alarms of a possible cycle change.

Ripple (RLUSD): Binance completes the integration in XRPL
Binance has officially announced the integration of the stablecoin RLUSD into the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This move, which occurs just two weeks after its debut on Ethereum, positions RLUSD as a central piece in Ripple's payment strategy.

The Cardano ecosystem is entering a decisive phase. Charles Hoskinson has officially confirmed from the Consensus Hong Kong event that Midnight, the privacy-focused associated chain, will launch its mainnet at the end of March 2026.

The "City Simulation": The litmus test
Before the major rollout, a new City Simulation will be activated on February 26. It is not just a technical test; it is a high-fidelity environment where Midnight will test its ability to process massive transactions and generate zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) under real stress conditions. This simulation is the final step to ensure that privacy by default does not sacrifice scalability.

The market for tokenized commodities has just surpassed $6,126 billion. In less than six weeks, it has gained 53%. Since the beginning of 2026, it has quadrupled. And almost all of it comes from tokenized gold. Tether Gold (XAUT) weighs 3.57 billion $, Pax Gold (PAXG) 2.31 billion $. Together, they control more than 95% of the sector. Ethereum concentrates 97% of the total volume.
While bitcoin has lost more than 50% since October 2025 and the rest of crypto bleeds, spot gold touches $5,114 an ounce. Investors flee from crypto volatility towards tokenized gold. Stability + liquidity 24/7 + fractional ownership: the perfect recipe. Tokenized gold becomes the star of RWA while the crypto market is depressed. It's the new gold rush. And it's happening on the blockchain.

During its beta phase, the Plasma protocol was a "protected fortress" to ensure that its more than $2,000 million in liquidity was safe. But this February 11, we are witnessing the most important step towards total decentralization: the official activation of the Validator Delegation.

The model 5% - 3%: Sustainable Security
Unlike other projects that offer astronomical and unsustainable yields, Paul Faecks has designed a serious economic model. The staking of XPL starts at 5% annually, designed to gradually decrease (by 0.5% each year) until stabilizing at 3%. It is not about printing money, but about incentivizing those who protect the world's fastest payment infrastructure.

The ecosystem of exchange and liquidity protocols faces a turning point this February 11. After the widespread correction, three pillars of the sector (PancakeSwap, Jupiter, and Hype) have reached oversold levels on the daily chart that, historically, have marked strategic accumulation zones for institutional capital and elite force traders.

PancakeSwap (CAKE): Daily capitulation at 1.30 dollars
CAKE shows one of the charts most affected by macro volatility.

The decentralized finance ecosystem faces a litmus test on February 11. Following a widespread correction, two pillars of the sector (Aave and Lido) have reached oversold levels on the daily chart that, historically, have marked points of exhaustion of selling pressure and zones of strategic accumulation.

Aave (AAVE): Defense of $107.47 with a daily RSI at 26
Aave presents one of the charts most affected by macro volatility.
With a daily RSI of 26.88, the asset is in a structurally oversold zone. However, on the 1H timeframe, an RSI of 62.58 and a StochRSI of 79.35 suggest an incipient technical bounce aiming to stabilize the price above $100.

Ethereum is in a critical decision zone after being rejected at the resistance of $2,149. With a global capitalization of $2.27 trillion, the market operates cautiously as ETH developers accelerate preparations for Glamsterdam (first half of 2026) and the subsequent launch of Hegota. These updates will introduce the separation of ePBS and Verkle trees, scaling the network to unprecedented institutional levels.

ETF flows and the Institutional factor

This February 11 marks a milestone in the convergence of TradFi and DeFi. BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, launches its BUIDL token (backed by the Treasury) on Uniswap, allowing institutional investors to trade with liquidity 24/7 via USDC. The news, which includes a strategic investment by BlackRock in UNI tokens, drove the price of the asset up 28%, surpassing $4.
Robert Mitchnick from BlackRock confirmed that this collaboration with Securitize and Uniswap is the definitive step for the interoperability of tokenized funds with stablecoins under top-tier regulatory standards.

On February 11, the global financial market has received a direct impact: the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported the creation of 130,000 jobs in January, shattering the estimate of 65,000 from Wall Street. It is the highest figure since April 2025, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.3%.
This resilience of the labor market is a "Hawkish" signal for the Federal Reserve, reinforcing the stance of maintaining stable interest rates in the face of an economy that refuses to cool down.

On February 11, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will publish the January employment report, an event that could set the course for cryptocurrencies for the remainder of the quarter. Wall Street estimates the creation of 70,000 jobs, a figure that reflects labor cooling but exceeds the 50,000 from December. The division is total: while Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley predict a weak figure, JPMorgan and Citigroup are betting on an upside surprise.
A figure higher than expected would drastically reduce the chances of a rate cut by the Fed, strengthening the DXY (96.61 points) and putting pressure on risk assets.
