В 2017 году ФРС постепенно повышала ставку: начало года: 0.50–0.75% март: 0.75–1.00% июнь: 1.00–1.25% декабрь 2017: 1.25–1.50%
А в 2021 году ставка почти весь год была около нуля из-за последствий COVID:
весь 2021: 0.00–0.25%
То есть: 2017 — ФРС уже ужесточала политику. 2021 — наоборот, были ультранизкие ставки и печатание денег (QE), поэтому крипта тогда сильно росла. Как не крути, от фрс очень многое зависит. Вот и думайте.
#ALGO $Algorand (ALGO) currently looks like a "technologically strong but market weak" project. It has a solid foundation, but the price has been lagging behind hype-driven L1 networks like Solana or Sui for quite some time.
What's strong about ALGO: Very fast and cheap blockchain. Good tech reputation — the project was created by Silvio Micali, a Turing Award winner. Algorand is actively moving towards asset tokenization, CBDC, and institutional use. In 2026, interest around the project resurfaced due to post-quantum security and regulation in the U.S.
But there are issues: The ecosystem is growing slowly. Very weak hype compared to competitors. ALGO has struggled to regain a strong trend since the ATH crash for many years. Currently, capital tends to flow into hotter narratives in the market.
Regarding the price: ALGO remains cheap compared to past cycles — the market sees it more as an "undervalued old L1." Many forecasts for 2026–2027 suggest a range of about $0.3–$1 during a strong altseason, but this heavily depends on the entire crypto market.
My opinion:
As a long-term hold — ALGO is more interesting than many dead old coins. But as a coin for a "quick x10" — it currently looks weaker than new trendy projects.
#strk Starknet (STRK) didn’t moon primarily due to heavy selling pressure and weak demand for the token itself. To put it simply — Starknet's tech is powerful, but the tokenomics turned out to be heavy. Main reasons: Massive token unlocks After the listing, billions of STRK started to be gradually unlocked for funds, the team, and early investors. The market realized that the supply would keep increasing, and people began to short in advance.
Ethena (ENA) is quite a controversial but intriguing coin. It has a strong concept, but there are plenty of risks involved. The main thing about ENA: This is a token from the Ethena ecosystem, where the main product is the stablecoin USDe. They're trying to create a 'crypto-dollar' without banks, through hedging and derivatives. In a bull market, such projects can pump significantly because they offer high yields.
#GRT The Graph (GRT) is currently looking like a typical "lagging alt" — it’s a live and useful project for Web3, but the market isn’t giving it much momentum right now. Key points for today’s situation: * GRT is highly dependent on the overall altcoin market and the movements of BTC/ETH. * If we hit a full-blown altseason — GRT could pump sharply. * However, it's trading far below its previous highs, and there's still selling pressure. Many analysts point out that the zone around $0.02–0.03 was a strong support level. * In a weak market, GRT might linger below that level for a while; * In a solid altseason, a bounce back to $0.10–0.15 looks realistic; * The $0.20–0.30 range would require true market euphoria and a significant rally in the ETH/DeFi/Web3 sector. Some forecasts only see such levels occurring in a strong cycle. Right now, here's how I'd be looking at GRT:
Pros * It's not a "dead meme," but rather a Web3 infrastructure; * It's used for indexing blockchain data; * If the Web3/AI narrative kicks off again — GRT could revive faster than many older coins.
Cons * The tokenomics are heavy; * Weak performance relative to BTC; * The market is flooded with new hype coins, which are siphoning off liquidity.
#ETH A major Ethereum holder transferred approximately $20 million in ETH to Binance, raising questions about possible selling pressure. 1. A wallet linked to Metalpha transferred approximately 8,771 ETH (approximately $19.99 million) to Binance, according to blockchain analytics and news reports. 2. This transfer fits a general trend of large ETH holders transferring their coins to exchanges amid ETH outflows and its price lagging behind Bitcoin. 3. Key factors include whether this balance will be sold or withdrawn, as well as further flows from large holders, ETF data, and ETH's performance relative to BTC.
Please explain how short or long affects the spot? When they say "they are shaving the longs" and vice versa. Or who influences whom? What is the overall connection? Thank you in advance for your answer)
