Litecoin(LTC) continues its rising momentum for several weeks, surging over 10% in the past 24 hours. The price remains supported by the rising trend line, with daily chart momentum steadily increasing. The key focus is now on the $137 resistance level — this level serves as both a technical resistance on the daily chart and overlaps significantly with the derivatives market liquidation heatmap showing a dense liquidation zone ($135-$137). A breakout above this level may trigger large-scale short positions liquidation, and due to a thin order book above, the price may quickly test the yearly high of $147.22. On-chain data shows that whales are actively increasing their long positions, pushing open interest higher, and the market's bullish structure remains unchanged. Caution is warranted as the Stochastic RSI has entered the overbought zone, indicating a potential short-term pullback, but the medium to long-term trend still leans bullish.

Chainlink (LINK) has shown strong momentum recently, with a big pump of 35.34% in the first week of August, crushing Ethereum's 21% rise (ETH). The monthly increase has reached 42% (about twice the rise of ETH). The key indicator LINK/ETH Exchange Rate is approaching a crucial monthly support area, which previously triggered a quarterly rise of up to 82% for LINK in Q4 last year (far exceeding ETH's 28%), making it a key barometer for predicting LINK's future. The price of LINK has successfully broken through the key resistance level of $24 (the first time it has stood above this level since February 2), and on-chain data shows a surge in whale activity (an average of 713 on-chain transactions per day), with the exchange supply decreasing sharply by 20.69 million LINK (-9.8%) over the past 8 weeks. The tightening liquidity combined with FOMO buying is driving the upward trend. Despite breaking resistance, realized profit flows remain sluggish, and holders show a clear reluctance to sell. If greed continues to dominate and selling pressure remains low, LINK is expected to maintain a bullish structure.

JasmyCoin (JASMY) has increased by 12% recently, continuing its upward trend after a strong rebound of 27% last week. This rise is in sync with the broader Meme coin zone, which has seen a weekly increase of 12%. However, on-chain data shows that there has been a net outflow of over $2.3 million in JASMY from spot exchanges in the past 72 hours, indicating a willingness among some holders to take profits, which may suppress the upward momentum. Meanwhile, enthusiasm in the derivatives market is high: open interest (OI) surged by $6.46 million within 24 hours (an increase of 14%), reaching $46.1 million; the funding rate for open interest turned positive at 0.0143, indicating a strong return of leveraged long positions. Market sentiment indicators show that 87% of participants are bullish. If the momentum in the Meme zone is maintained and spot selling pressure alleviates, JASMY is expected to continue its upward trend; however, caution is needed regarding the risk of high-leverage long liquidations due to ongoing spot dumping.

Bitcoin has recently continued its strong rise, increasing by over 8% in the past week and currently priced at $123,637.69. On-chain data shows that the open interest (OI) of Bitcoin on major CEX has surged to $13.7 billion, nearing the historical peak from late July, indicating a high level of speculative sentiment in the derivatives market. Analysts point out that the current price rise in sync with OI typically signals new long positions entering the market, but if OI grows too quickly, it may lead to excessive market leverage, increasing the risk of "Close Position" for longs.

As the broader cryptocurrency market (especially Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana) continues to rise due to expectations of the approval of spot ETFs, Ripple (XRP) has shown a significant lag. Analysts believe that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) silence regarding the XRP spot ETF application is the main reason, compounded by ongoing regulatory uncertainties. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has benefited from strong ETF inflows, rising expectations of Fed interest rate cuts, and institutional accumulation, reaching new all-time highs.

As Bitcoin (BTC) dominance falls to 59.3%—a new seven-month low, discussions about "altseason" in the market are heating up again. Many analysts believe this is just the beginning, but Ray Youssef, CEO of the encryption platform NoOnes, bluntly stated: the altseason has already started and is currently in the peak period of the mid-to-late stage. This view challenges the market's general narrative of "just getting started."

After a recent price pullback, the long-term prospects of Pi Network (PI) have once again sparked market discussions. Some analysts believe that with the full implementation of Mainnet features and the expansion of exchange adoption, PI coin is expected to rank among the top ten in global Crypto Assets market capitalization by 2030. While this prediction is full of imagination, it also comes with challenges such as insufficient Liquidity, development latency, and Token economic design.

On August 13, asset management company Canary Capital registered the "Canary Trump Coin ETF" in Delaware, USA, planning to launch a fund that tracks the TRUMP Token for spot trading on an exchange. This move signifies that institutional funds are entering the memecoin space on a large scale for the first time, introducing potential regulatory investment channels to a market that was previously dominated by retail investors. If the S-1 and 19b-4 documents are ultimately submitted to and approved by the SEC, the product will become the third spot ETF in the United States linked to meme coins.

CryptoQuant on-chain analyst Yonsei_dent's latest research indicates that the current crypto bull run structure shows essential differences from historical cycles. The continuous inflow of institutional funds brought by Bitcoin Spot ETF is driving the market towards a more lasting but slower-rising long-term bull market. The key indicator Net Unrealized PNL (NUPL) has for the first time presented a "triple wave" pattern, breaking the single peak of 2017 and the double peak pattern of 2021. While institutional-led crypto asset allocation reduces market Fluctuation, it also means that a hundredfold big pump may be hard to replicate, and investors need to adjust their expectations for excess returns.

This Friday (August 15), the global market will witness two major events: a peace talk between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, and the second quarter earnings conference call of Ethereum financial giant Sharplink Gaming (SBET). The former may bring a turning point to the Ukraine conflict, while the latter will reveal the latest dynamics of SBET in the ETH market.
