Key takeaways
This week’s crypto saga resembles a Dostoevskian novella-full of despair, hope, and the peculiar optimism of fools. Altcoins danced wildly; some soared like madmen driven by unseen forces, while others crashed with all the cruelty of a Winter’s night in Petrograd. Aerodrome, Mantle, and Lido DAO rose over 45
Bitcoin, the presumed anchor, kept its head low-like a weary soul retreating into the shadows. Yet, the altcoin rabble roused themselves: Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano-these giants-made their boastful gains, doubles or triples, as if mocking the treacherous nature of fate itself. Beneath these giants, smaller tokens also fought their obscure, desperate battles-some rising, some falling, all caught in the same cruel web. So brace yourselves-grab a drink, perhaps a heavy one-because the show must go on. Ah, Aerodrome! This token, once a mere whisper, surged with reckless abandon from under $0.80 to over $1.25, like a man driven by an obsession he cannot fully understand. It paused at $1.17, as if pondering its own grandeur. The RSI screamed “overbought” with a 70.9 reading-yet the momentum swaggered on, heedless of reason. Despite a mild retreat, it remains above the critical EMAs-the support of the short-term lunatics. Perhaps the recent flurry is but a fleeting hysteria. But what matters more than the moon? Coinbase trading on the U.S. app-because what could be more inspiring than more people losing their shirts? As one wise (or perhaps just equally mad) X user mused, “If you were paying attention, this isn’t news for you. If you weren’t, you still can.” Next, Mantle-rising 51.99
Ah, LDO-what an intoxicating climb! From $0.87 to near $1.37-like a delirious man in a fevered dream. Profits are taken, yet enthusiasm persists. August 14th looms, the day of reckoning, with the promise of a call, a conference-the kind of event that keeps traders’ hearts pounding and hopes alive. Small tokens, darling of speculation-MYX Finance, soaring 1323.8
Monero, that ghostly whisper of privacy, has been under a dark cloud. From $300 to $270, like an aging nobleman losing his strength. Support levels broken, prices tumbling-what hoped-for sanctuary remains? The fear that centralization’s shadow-Qubic’s pool-will claim Monero’s soul, has cast a pall of doubt. A “crypto beef,” as they say, with market confidence trembling at the stakes of this unseen struggle. Toncoin-once the darling of Telegram’s promises-fell 10.38
XDC’s descent continues-over 5
Graphite Protocol plunges nearly 50
This week’s market-an endless dance of despair and hope, chaos and order. Volatility reigns like a capricious deity. Hold tight, analyze carefully, and remember-fools rush where angels fear to tread. Until next week, keep your soul steady amidst the storm. 2025-08-10 22:54Weekly winners
