$BTC dipped and alt-coins were nuked yesterday.
If you don't think this is the beginning of the end for the bull market, then everything just went 20% off.
Let's look at some of these coins showing recent strength. Why recent strength?
Because that means the coin has touched upon a recent narrative and is likely to resume its upward path, if the bull run continues.
As always, this is not financial advice. Don't buy any crypto. It's all speculative, likely to go to $0, and everyone in your family will laugh at you when it does. Only continue if you're a degenerate gambler.
1 Ethereum ( $ETH )
$eth is back because Gensler is gone. The "killer app" on $eth is DeFi, and the SEC, under Gensler, made DeFi all but illegal. Now, it's legal again. Hence $eth's recent rise.
Although it didn't lose 20% yesterday, $eth did wick down to the $3500 mark, where standard resistance lines would suggest. This may be the safest sale buy at the moment, implying a near-term 10% gain to reach recent highs.
2 Solana ( $SOL )
$SOL has lost a bit of steam lately because it's the world's meme-coin casino. Memes are not centrally in focus now post-Trump, as the market is still in the process of re-pricing utility coins, now that Gensler is gone.
Price action has blasted through a more recent support level and is hovering above a second support zone. Should the market turn around, you'd be looking at a 25% climb to recent price levels. I doubt the meme coin casino is about to "turn the lights off" for good.
3 NEAR ( $NEAR )
$NEAR is the largest of the AI coins and stands to gain roughly 33% if its price returns to recent highs. The AI narrative is now a permanent feature of this cycle and $NEAR's price rests just at its support zone.
If you want exposure to AI without going into the micro-caps, this might be a sensible place to start.
4 BRETT ($BRETT)
$BRETT is the top meme coin on the Base L2 (on $eth).
Currently, the coin stands to gain 37% if it recovers to its near-term high. It sits just above its local support zone too.
I find it highly implausible that Coinbase will not list the top meme coin on its own blockchain. This might be a nice catalyst for future growth.
5 SPX6900 ( $SPX )
Speaking of meme coins with virtually no centralized exchange presence we have [$SPX](https://x.com/search?q=%24SPX&src=cashtag_click). This is the meme coin most synonymous with @MustStopMurad.
So that we don't confuse it with imposters, here's the coin address (CA). CA: 0xe0f63a424a4439cbe457d80e4f4b51ad25b2c56c
It's actually recovering nicely today because it finally received an exchange listing on KuCoin. It has NO major centralized exchange listings (not on Kraken, OKx, ByBit, Coinbase, or Binance).
It still has better than 33% to recover to near-term highs.
Concluding Thoughts
That rounds out our review coins on "sale" -- if you believe the market is going to continue rising.
There are others, but the point of dip-buying, if you so choose, it to select "obvious" buys among high-quality coins. You don't need to use this as a chance to load up on exotic stuff. Some mid-caps and larger memes is probably good enough.
Reminder, none of this is financial advice. DYOR. I hope this helps with that process.
Happy Trading!
