@XRPathologist Interesting to see this altcoin movement during all of this geopolitical uncertainty!

The #ETHBTC chart explains #TOTAL3 and the altcoin movement we are seeing. This is happening while #BTC has stalled at its upper trend rail.

@XRPathologist @BearIrritable What price would the .382 fib level be?

@BearIrritable I'm expecting a touch of the macro .382 fib level. Whether it stays in the wedge to get there or exits below it first, that's what I'm looking for.

Now we can see that this is a valid structure for #ZEC, a falling wedge, as price rejected from the upper rail. I indicated this as a possible path in a previous post. Let's see how this continues to play out. As I've mentioned, these patterns typically escape at about 2/3 to 3/4 of the apex.

@XRPathologist Very informative. A must watch for every American (and quite frankly, everyone on Earth).

This is very telling!!

@XRPathologist @Mr0917827583511 Eric is a man of the people!

@Mr0917827583511 I'll continue to analyze Zcash for my followers but the profits I've taken from it have gone elsewhere at this point.

When retail thinks an asset is dead or going to zero, those are the one's whales are loading up on. Retail is ALWAYS wrong!! Remember this statement above all others!

@XRPathologist Does the $ALGO chart show any signs of whale accumulation?

@XRPathologist Lower highs, and lower lows. Staying sidelined.

This is the only thing you should be watching for #ZEC currently. This is the trend since this past Wednesday and until that changes, expect lower prices. I will not put any money into this market until I see a confirmed trend change with price acceptance. War doesn't help that!

@GoodTexture What are your thoughts on the upcoming blood moon on the crypto market?

nobody uses zec or btc in real commerce outside of niche, religious, political, or drug uses. that does not mean it cannot pump to $2800+. it just means that the logical foundations for its existence are deeply flawed. it was made by a t-&^%* so what did you expect, reason?

@XRPathologist Is it possible than any breakout in the near term would be cut short by the blood moon timing?

If this breakout confirms for #BTC, the pattern is most likely the descending parallel channel. Confirmation typically happens with a retest of the upper rail. Price can always fall back through into the pattern and that's when we continue to watch for whether it's the parallel channel or falling wedge. I'll usually keep both patterns on the chart until I get confirmation of which is legit!

@XRPathologist Wow, this is a nearly 10 year old token. I’ve never heard of it, very interesting to see these patterns play out on older cryptocurrencies!

This asset is an example of why you need to identify patterns. This is clearly a falling wedge pattern, which is a bullish pattern. As you can see, the wedge played out to the upside as you would expect.

@hernandpe7 Eric is indeed a very rare asset on this platform and the crypto space as a whole.

Clean. Straightforward. Succinct. He doesn’t predict where we are heading but gives good analysis on where we are and levels we need to watch and the other factors we need to consider with price movements, ie volume. Give him a follow.

@XRPathologist Appreciate the update and check-in, Eric!

Not really much to analyze currently. The market will do what it does. We are most likely seeing corrective action based on no Fed rate cut the other day. The fed chair fighting the President on rate cuts in addition to a looming government shutdown is nothing positive.

@XRPathologist Awesome write up, Eric! What does a “total market collapse” mean in this context? Do you mean the bottom we see in a deep bear market, or something caused by something unforeseen / a black swan?

Looking at #ZEC, my base case is, and always has been, around the $300 area. The micro structure is rolling over inside a larger macro pattern, and the most logical draw is where the lower rail of the short term channel intersects with the lower rail of the macro descending structure. That level lines up with prior acceptance and unresolved liquidity. Until price reclaims higher time frame resistance with strength, a move into that confluence remains the most reasonable path. Will this move coincide with a move by #BTC into the mid 70's or will Zcash need to press $250 to align with that move by Bitcoin? Just have to wait and see what happens! My POSSIBLE SCENARIO of 70-80K only happens if there is a total market collapse and Bitcoin heads towards the 30K area.

@0xWhale $LTC - Particularly in the context of maintaining its multi-year accumulation structure and keep the support trend. $ZEC and $DASH - For potential short and mid-term swing trades. Thank you, Enri!

Write below all the tickers of #altcoins you follow, so I can get an idea of what to cover in the next days.

@XRPathologist Makes complete sense! Thank you, Eric.

@Puer_Homme You have 9 years of history of price holding generally around the lower trend rail and just below. If it drops considerably further it won't be Litecoin that's the only asset in trouble. The entire market will be.

Here’s what I’m watching on #LTC. Price is still grinding lower inside a clear falling wedge structure, but the most important thing right now is location. We’re sitting in long-term support in the high $60s, with $60 being the real HTF line in the sand. This doesn’t look like panic selling to me. Volatility is compressing, momentum is slowing, and price is behaving exactly how you’d expect as it approaches a major decision point. If $60 holds, this starts to look like compression at support. If $60 breaks cleanly, then it’s simply trend continuation lower.

@0xWhale I think $LTC is very interesting to watch in the coming months and for the next bull cycle. One of the major dino coins that is following the same multi-year compression wedge which caused $XRP and $ZEC to explode during this past bull cycle. Looking forward to your analysis!

$LTC #Litecoin Review (as requested by many of you) Litecoin's fair value zone sits between $76 and $49. On the monthly chart, I drew horizontal lines at every major dip during this bullish cycle, it clearly shows the range's strength and how far the current price sits from the high and low extremes. In my view, Litecoin doesn't justify such a massive valuation gap compared to $BCH Bitcoin Cash. I'm ready to cover LTC especially when $TOTAL market cap dips further.

@XRPathologist @truthmonitorX Hi Eric, what price does $LTC need to close on this monthly candle to maintain its structure?

@truthmonitorX Everything is dependent on Bitcoin currently, which doesn't look particularly good to me currently.

I'm seeing this consolidation structure for #ZEC. Due to the overall trend, this structure would lean towards a bear flag continuation.

@Qomolangma406 @XRPathologist Not only that, but a lot of innocent small investors lost a lot of money thanks to how the ECC development team handled their exit. Extremely unprofessional and recklessly indifferent to the people who believe in $ZEC. What good is ultimate privacy when there’s no trust?

@XRPathologist Once the Tachyon upgrade is implemented later this year, Zcash will be very fast and lean

For those of you who might not know this, #LTC actually has a privacy option, but it’s important to understand what it is and what it isn’t and how it compares to #ZEC. Litecoin added something called MimbleWimble Extension Blocks, or MWEB. The key word there is optional. Nothing about Litecoin is forced private. You choose when to use it. This feature is actually similar to Zcash. By default, Litecoin works just like it always has. Transparent addresses, visible amounts, normal on chain activity. If you want privacy, you can move your LTC into MWEB. That entry is visible on chain. Once inside MWEB, transaction amounts are hidden and addresses aren’t readable. The network can still verify everything adds up, but outsiders can’t see balances or transfers. When you’re done, you move your LTC back out. That exit is also visible. So people can see funds going in and out, but not what happens inside. That’s the tradeoff. There’s no trusted setup, no special keys, and no company controlling it. It follows the same philosophy as Bitcoin. Simple rules, enforced by the network, not by an organization. This is what makes it appealing to me in light of the recent shit show with the Zcash development team! Compared to Zcash, it’s a different approach. Zcash is built around privacy at the protocol level and is much heavier and more complex. Litecoin’s approach is lighter. It’s meant to be practical, usable, and compatible with the real world while still giving users privacy when they want it. In short, Litecoin gives you a choice. Stay transparent or use privacy. Same coin, same supply, same network. The option is there if you need it. Transaction Comparisons: Litecoin is generally faster and cheaper to use than Zcash, especially once you bring privacy into the picture. Both chains have similar block times on paper, but in practice Litecoin transactions are simpler and lighter. A normal Litecoin transaction is small (data size), moves quickly through the network, and usually confirms without much friction. Zcash is different when you use its privacy features. Shielded transactions are heavier. They require more computation, more data, and that usually means higher fees and slower handling compared to a basic LTC transfer. That’s the tradeoff for stronger privacy. I'm looking at this as an advantage on a day to day, real world use basis, which will be what's needed in a new monetary system. Zcash privacy is great for large, institutional transactions that need to be private versus day to day "retail" transactions that require more speed and lower fees. So in real use, sending standard Litecoin is almost always cheaper and quicker. Shielded Zcash transactions cost more and feel heavier. Transparent Zcash can be similar, but then you’re not using what makes Zcash unique. There's nothing wrong with either approach. It just comes down to what you’re optimizing for. Litecoin leans toward speed, cost, and simplicity. Zcash leans toward deeper privacy, with more overhead.

@XRPathologist Excellent analysis comparing $LTC and $ZEC, Eric! Not enough content like this on X. You’re an asset to the space! Very bullish on $LTC.

@GoodTexture What are your thoughts on the chart? Is $LTC in a multi-year wedge structure / compression similar to what $ZEC did? Thanks, Matthew!
