Broader Categories: Cardano and Filecoin Shine Beyond the Top 10

Category trend data show that one-day gains among large coins are not the full picture. In the Layer 1 non-EVM category, Cardano is up +6.94%. In Oracles and Infrastructure, Filecoin is gaining +10.90%. In DeFi, Hyperliquid +4.46% and Ethena +4.17% stand out.

Market Analysis: What the CryptoPulsar Cycle Indicators Say

The CryptoPulsar market cycle section scores the condition of major assets on a scale from 0 to 50. Today Bitcoin is at 32.5/50, Ethereum 29.9/50, Solana 32.3/50, BNB 31.7/50, and XRP 33.5/50. All of these readings sit below the midpoint of the scale, suggesting short-term momentum remains cautious.

Bitcoin: Close to Oversold, but the Trend Has Not Reversed

At $85,763, Bitcoin is posting +0.38% over 24h and +2.02% over 7d. 24h volume stands at $32.60 billion. On-chain data indicate about 721,000 transactions over the day, which looks stable but not aggressive. RSI(14) is 33.6, close to oversold territory. MACD and the EMA 9/21 crossover remain bearish, however. Contract funding of 0.008% is neutral, while the fear and greed index reads 70/100, meaning greed. The data suggest a short-term bounce is possible, but until MACD and EMA flip their signal, supply may continue to dominate.

Ethereum: Exchange Inflows Add to the Caution

Ethereum is priced at $2,711.49, with a daily change of +0.39%. The cycle score is 29.9/50. Exchanges recorded a net inflow of about 18,400 ETH over 4 hours, across 95 inbound transfers and 88 outbound. The past hour brought 41 large transfers worth at least 500 ETH, including 30,000, 25,000, and 17,000 ETH. RSI(14) is 38.9, and MACD and EMA 9/21 are bearish. If inflows persist, selling pressure may cap the bounce. A recovery scenario would require inflows to fade or outflows to appear.

Solana: Whales Are on the Move

Solana, at $120.26, is down -0.46% over 24h. The cycle scores it at 32.3/50. In the past hour, 40 whale transfers above 10,000 SOL were recorded, including 792,000, 527,000, and 468,000 SOL, at a price of about $119 and 4.1 million transactions a day. RSI(14) at 34.5 is nearing oversold territory, and MACD and EMA 9/21 remain bearish.
