Bitcoin steadies at $68k, meme coins surge as focus shifts to Poodlana


Bitcoin price has recorded its second week of consecutive gains; ending the week steady above the resistance-turn-support zone of 68,000. On Friday, it hit a level last recorded in late July after rallying by 17% in about a week. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $68,440.47.
Risk-on sentiment continues
The risk-on mood that has increased the attractiveness of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in recent sessions is also observable in the US stock market. In fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average index and S&P 500 both ended the week at a fresh record high. At the same time, Nasdaq 100 held steady above $20,000 as the bulls eyed the all0time high reached in mid-July 2024 at $20,702.
Signs of a resilient US economy have contributed to the rallying in the cryptocurrency market and the overall risk-on mood. Recent data, including September’s jobs report and retail sales came in better than expected. The resultant surge in consumer confidence has seen the US dollar record three consecutive weeks of gains. On Thursday, it extended gains to a level last hit in early August before slightly pulling back on Friday.
Additionally, rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have contributed to the positive market sentiment. As seen on CoinMarketCap, the fear and greed index is at a greed level of 60 after being at a neutral of 46 in the past week. During its September meeting, the US central bank cut interest rates by 50 basis points; the first in four years. Notably, an environment of lower interest rates tends to attract investors to riskier assets like cryptocurrencies.
US election and Bitcoin ETF inflows
Markets are now keen on the next Fed meeting on 7th November, just two days after the closely watched US elections. In addition to the anticipated rate cut of 25 basis points, a Trump win will likely yield further gains for cryptos.
The presidential candidate not only owns a crypto venture but he has also openly held a pro-crypto stand. According to Polymarket, Trump’s chances of winning the elections are at 59.9% against Kamala Harris’ 40.1%. This forecast already has more traders investing in the crypto market with elections in the horizon.
To top it off, Bitcoin ETF inflows are on the rise. According to SoSoValue, the daily total net inflow was $273.71 million as at 18th October. Cumulatively, the net inflows year-to-date are $20.94 billion.
Poodlana token could stage a comeback
As is often the case, meme coins are moving in tandem with Bitcoin’s price movement; creating irresistible opportunities for savvy investors. As seen on CoinGecko, the meme market cap is at $63 billion, up by 0.3% over a span of 24 hours. Over the past 7 days, meme coins like Dogecoin, Floki, Bonk, Cats in a dogs world, and BOOK OF MEME have risen by 28.1%, 12.3%, 8.0%, 25.5%, and 19.7% respectively.
Poodlana, a newly launched cryptocurrency built on the Solana network, stands out for meme coin enthusiasts as well as fashion-centric investors. Its appeal is largely founded on the Solana blockchain’s principle of cost efficiency as well as its link to the luxury fashion industry. More to that, its recent decline has created an ideal buy for investors scouting for cheaper options.
The altcoin has dropped to a record low of $0.003167 as at the time of writing. Notably, a decline in price following a successful ICO is common as the early adopters sell their holdings for an easy and fast profit. With POODL, this was especially expected as the lack of a vesting period meant investors could sell their tokens immediately the meme coin hit public shelves.
As Bitcoin ETF inflows surge, an increase in BTC demand by both retail and institutional investors is set to trickle to altcoins like Poodlana.
Besides, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and caution over the economic stability in the US and China, and globally, will further attract investors to Bitcoin as a safe haven. Additional rallying of the top crypto by means of its market cap is expected to yield a rebound in alternative cryptocurrencies like Poodlana. You can lean more about Poodlana here.

Solana (SOL) Price Risks Dip Below $110 as Bears Gain Control

Solana (SOL) has dropped over 6% in the past seven days and has been trading below $150 since March 6. The current trend shows clear bearish signals across multiple indicators.
From a death cross to a rising ADX and a red Ichimoku Cloud, technicals suggest growing downside pressure. With SOL nearing key support, the next few days could be critical for its price direction.
SOL Ichimoku Cloud Paints A Bearish Picture
The Ichimoku Cloud chart for Solana shows a clear bearish structure, with price action trading below both the Kijun-sen (red line) and Tenkan-sen (blue line).
The Lagging Span (green line) is also positioned below the price candles and the cloud, reinforcing the negative outlook. The Kumo ahead is red and descending, suggesting that resistance remains strong in the near term.

Solana has struggled to break above short-term resistance levels and remains stuck in a downward channel. The thin nature of the current cloud suggests weak support, making the price vulnerable to further downside if bearish momentum continues.
For a reversal, Solana would need to break above the Kijun-sen and push decisively toward the cloud, but for now, the trend remains tilted to the downside.
Solana DMI Shows Sellers Are In Control
Solana’s DMI chart shows a sharp rise in the ADX, now at 40.87—up from 19.74 just three days ago.
The ADX (Average Directional Index) measures the strength of a trend, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend and values above 40 signaling a very strong one.
This surge confirms that the current downtrend in SOL is gaining momentum.

At the same time, the +DI has dropped from 17.32 to 8.82, while the -DI has climbed to 31.09, where it has held steady for the past two days.
This setup suggests that the sellers are firmly in control, and the downtrend is strong and also strengthening.
As long as the -DI remains dominant and ADX stays elevated, SOL is likely to remain under pressure in the short term.
Can Solana Drop Below $110 Soon?
Solana recently formed a death cross, a bearish signal where short-term moving averages cross below long-term ones.
It’s now approaching key support at $120—if that level breaks, Solana price could drop to $112, and possibly below $110 for the first time since February 2024.

If bulls step in and buying pressure returns, SOL could rebound toward resistance at $136.
A breakout above that level may lead to a push toward $147, which acted as strong resistance just five days ago.

Top 3 Made in USA Coins to Watch This Week

Made in USA coins are showing mixed signals as April begins, with XRP, SUI, and Pi Network (PI) standing out. XRP leads in market cap but also posted the biggest drop among the top 10, down 10.6% this week.
SUI is the only major gainer, up 3.8%, showing some strength despite broader weakness. Meanwhile, PI has been the worst performer, plunging over 23% and staying below $1 all week.
XRP
XRP is the largest Made in USA crypto by market cap, but it’s also down 10.6% over the last 7 days—the biggest drop among the top 10. This sharp correction could present an opportunity, especially with Trump’s “Liberation Day” event coming up on April 2.
If XRP builds an uptrend, it could push to test resistance at $2.22. A breakout there may lead to moves toward $2.47 and even $2.59 if momentum grows.

If the downtrend continues, XRP could revisit support at $2.06. A breakdown below that level might drag it further down to $1.90.
With volatility rising and a possible narrative shift on the horizon, XRP could be a key coin to watch this week.
SUI
SUI is the only among major Made in USA cryptos showing gains over the past week, up 3.8%, even though it’s still down 13% over the last 30 days. This resilience sets it apart from the rest of the pack.
In the last 24 hours, trading volume has dropped 15% to $767 million. The coin’s current market cap is $7.43 billion.

SUI’s EMA lines recently formed a death cross, hinting at a possible downtrend. If confirmed, the price could drop to $2.23, with further downside to $2.11 and $1.96.
If SUI manages to reverse the trend, it could climb toward $2.50. A breakout there would open the door to $2.83, nearly 20% higher from current levels.
Pi Network (PI)
Pi Network (PI) is the biggest loser among Made in USA cryptos this week, with its price down over 23% in the last seven days.
It has been trading below $1 throughout the entire week.

If sentiment shifts, PI could rebound toward resistance at $1.05. A breakout there might lead to a push-up to $1.23.
But if bearish pressure continues, PI could fall to test support at $0.718. A drop below that would send it to $0.62—its lowest level since February 21.
