$GRVT Altseason may not be officially here, but traders are starting their rotations — and the numbers are getting harder to ignore. Over the past 30 days, memecoin launchpad PONS soared more than 350% in price, while in DeFi, Uniswap’s UNI gained more than 110%, Arbitrum’s ARB jumped over 150% and AI-focused NEAR also shot up around 180%. Privacy token Zcash hit a record high above $1,600 last week, while Bitcoin Layer-2 token LIT and memecoin launchpad token PUMP are also among the biggest gainers over the period, according to CoinMarketCap. Spanning very different sectors, those gains don’t point to one obvious trade, but they do suggest many traders are looking at coins with a good business case behind them this time around. Looking at the massive gains in tokens such as ARB, UNI, Jupiter’s JUP and Ondo’s ONDO, Bankless podcast host David Hoffman said Friday that what they had in common is, “They make money, they all print revenue,” suggesting that this rally could be driven by utility rather than speculation. Among the top 20 biggest gainers last week, there were only two memecoins. In the past week, only Pudgy Penguins made the list. But it’s not all about fundamentals according to 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz, who notes that over the last 30 days, memecoins have shown the strongest growth among buyers. But he says DeFi protocols, privacy tokens, AI projects and tokenized assets are also attracting attention. Related: The 100x obsession: Fundamentals grow in importance as crypto matures “The pattern so far is breadth before depth,” he tells Magazine, with more wallets buying a broader range of tokens, but generally in smaller amounts. “The caution in the data fits the broader pattern of selective participation,” he says. Users are participating “selectively rather than going all-in.” So what will make this altseason different? Is the market finally getting more discerning and allocating into assets with actual utility as Hoffman suggests, or will it once again end up driven by memecoins featuring dogs in hats and sexual innuendos? It’s too early to say, with CoinMarketCap’s official Index yet to break into Altcoin Season. It’s currently sitting at 64 out of 100, up from 48 last week but still a little way below the 75 threshold that marks an official new season. A small number of coins account for most of the market. Trading firm Talos data shows the top 10 altcoins currently account for roughly 80% of total altcoin market capitalization, up from around 70% at the end of 2024. Hoffman says this rally is being driven by revenue-generating protocols. Source: Bankless. Samar Sen, head of international markets at Talos, says the data is “pointing to a market where capital is clustering around a smaller number of assets rather than rotating broadly into the long tail.” He says Talos’ September flow data also shows a “notably strong buying tilt,” with buying dominating on almost every day. That contrasts with late 2024, he says, when buyers and sellers were more evenly matched, and the post-election rally produced broader outperformance across tokens including DOGE, ADA and HBAR. What people are actually buying According to Sen, the strongest performance is around specific themes, like revenue-generating protocols, onchain perpetuals and DeFi projects, including HYPE, LIT, UNI and MORPHO. Privacy-related assets such as ZEC, NEAR and XMR are also performing strongly, alongside AI-adjacent tokens including VVV and TAO. Related: Crypto’s next altseason may have fewer winners: Wintermute Talos is also seeing a flurry of activity around memecoin launchpads, including PUMP and PONS, and the Robinhood ecosystem and USELESS memecoin are performing well. PONS is the biggest gainer in the last 30 days. Source: CoinMarketCap Like Kunz, Sen says the market is becoming “much more selective.” “Investors are concentrating around specific narratives and ecosystems rather than treating altcoins as a single broad trade.” Tokenized gold and tokenized stocks are also seeing more buyers, and AI tokens are up as well, “albeit from a small base.” Overall however, it may be less of a wholesale shift from speculation to utility and more of a jumble of competing narratives. And with the explosion of unconventional trading pairs on Robinhood earlier this month, we caught a glimpse of how the categories are beginning to overlap. Tokenized stocks are suddenly being traded against memecoins via market pairings like BONER/HIMS and SPACEHOOD/SPCX. One such pairing generated more than $425 million in 24-hour trading volume in early September. The case for a more fundamental altseason Michael Egorov, founder of Curve Finance and Yield Basis, says he’s seeing more attention around actual use cases and institutional demand than in previous cycles. “All in all, I’d say there’s now more interest in protocols that actually do something useful, can connect crypto with real financial activity, and prove it in action,” he says. Stablecoins are one example, he says, particularly their use in onchain foreign exchange and fintech applications. He believes the “biggest driver” will be the growing integration of crypto infrastructure with the real economy. If that demand keeps growing, it could give this altseason a new source of buying, as crypto infrastructure becomes more useful outside of crypto trading itself — but that’s a big if. Who is actually driving the rally? Talos data shows dealer participation in altcoin trading has fallen from around 65% at the end of 2024 to about 32% in September, even while flows maintained a strong buying trend. “That is a significant difference from the last altcoin rally,” Sen says, “and suggests liquidity providers and market makers have so far played a smaller role in the current move.” He says that, at the same time, access has become easier, and exposure that once required traders to interact directly with decentralized venues like Raydium or Orca is now available through mainstream platforms. That “lowers barriers to entry and broadens retail participation,” he says. Professional traders also have more tools for following the money this cycle, from wallet tracking to copy trading that can provide signals about where capital is moving across wallets, protocols and chains. According to Sen, that creates a combination of broader retail access alongside more sophisticated ways for professional traders to identify where activity is building.

$PENGU – Liquidation Map (7 Days) – Current Price 0.00998 🔎 The 7-day liquidation map shows roughly 14 million USD in long liquidations below the current price, exceeding approximately 9 million USD in short liquidations above. The liquidity structure therefore favors the downside, with around 1.5 times more cumulative liquidity below the market. 📉 Below the market, long-liquidation liquidity is concentrated heavily across 0.0087–0.0094. Major clusters sit around 0.00875–0.00877 and 0.00933–0.00936 with bars near 0.55 million USD, while 0.00922–0.00924 also contains a bar close to 0.49 million USD. Losing 0.00984 would shift attention toward 0.00972–0.00960 and then 0.00936–0.00922. 📈 Above the market, short-liquidation liquidity is concentrated immediately around 0.01002–0.01006 with bars near 0.50–0.56 million USD. Further out, 0.01064–0.01070 forms another major liquidity band with several bars around 0.45–0.54 million USD, while 0.01114 also holds a notable cluster. 🧭 The broader setup favors the downside because long-liquidation exposure below is larger. Losing 0.00984 would increase the probability of a sweep toward 0.00972–0.00960, followed by 0.00936–0.00922. Breaking above 0.01006 would instead expose 0.01054–0.01070 and then 0.01088–0.01114. #LiquidationMap

$YGG PENGU Breakout is testing a major higher-timeframe descending trendline after recovering nearly 91% from its earlier accumulation zone. Confirmation requires a clean breakout, acceptance above resistance, and a successful retest before higher resistance targets come into focus. The higher-timeframe setup remains valid while PENGU holds above the major $0.0055 support level identified on the chart. PENGU Breakout has reached a decisive higher-timeframe resistance after months of recovery. Traders are watching whether price confirms a structural breakout before the next projected resistance zones become active. Higher-Timeframe Trendline Becomes the Main Technical Focus Crypto Patel shared a higher-timeframe PENGU chart outlining the current recovery structure. The chart centers on a descending trendline that capped previous rallies. That resistance now faces another breakout attempt. Source: X PENGU as of writing trades at around $0.01117 after recovering roughly 91% from its entry zone. The rally lifted price away from long-term support without changing the broader structure. Price has now returned to the defining resistance area. The descending trendline originates from the previous macro high. Multiple lower highs formed beneath that line across several months. That pattern kept the long-term trend bearish until the current recovery. Crypto Patel described this stage as a confirmation test rather than a completed breakout. A single candle above resistance does not complete the setup. The higher timeframe still requires additional validation. Breakout Confirmation Opens Multiple Resistance Targets The chart identifies $0.0090 as the breakout confirmation level. Holding above that reclaimed zone strengthens the recovery structure. Buyers would then defend previous resistance during a retest. Crypto Patel expects acceptance above the trendline before targeting higher levels. The preferred sequence includes breakout, consolidation, and successful retest. That process confirms resistance has become support. The first upside target appears near $0.015 after confirmation. The second target sits around $0.028, matching an earlier supply zone. Both levels correspond with historical resistance during the previous cycle. Higher targets extend toward $0.043 and $0.060 on the roadmap. Those zones align with previous distribution levels and macro resistance. The chart presents them as sequential objectives after confirmed structure changes. Macro Support Remains the Invalidation Level The broader chart also measures the previous market cycle. PENGU declined roughly 89% from its macro high near $0.047-$0.048. That decline eventually produced a prolonged accumulation phase. Repeated buying reactions developed around $0.0055 during consolidation. The chart labels that area as major higher-timeframe support. Every recovery attempt began after buyers defended that floor. The post also compares the current setup with an earlier breakout. PENGU previously rallied more than 1,100% after escaping a falling structure. The present pattern shows another extended consolidation beneath descending resistance. The analysis keeps invalidation clearly defined beneath major support. A sustained loss of $0.0055 would weaken the higher-timeframe recovery structure. Until then, the chart keeps the breakout roadmap conditional on confirmation above resistance.
