Your Top Crypto Alpha #87
What's the best crypto alpha this week?
Gold crashing, oil at $100, inflation is rampant, global logistics in crisis, and crypto is in deep bear market territory. Can you still make money in this market?
Yes. Volatility is a dream for traders. If you plan to trade this, I got good news that will make you eligible for a juicy airdrop.
There’s a new decentralized exchange that just entered the picture. You need to add it to your shortlist and farm it. If you missed Hyperliquid, Lighter, Aster or Grvt, then this is for you.
But before that, let me talk a bit about Bitcoin and Gold.

Latest Bitcoin & Gold Price Forecast
BTC TLDR: Bitcoin tried to break above the 75k resistance, but was sharply rejected. This is bearish. If the price falls under the 60k support, expect 50k and lower.
I had hoped that Bitcoin could break that 75k resistance to take us into a sustained relief rally towards 90k. Unfortunately, the macro events are too bearish to allow it. Even Gold has crashed over 20% since its recent top.
In these conditions, the bias remains bearish and attention is shifting towards the key support levels at 68k, 65k and 60k. If the last one falls, then new lows will follow and you should prepare to accumulate more Bitcoin once that happens.
Gold TLDR: The parabolic rally has ended. Expect a correction/consolidation move for some time between 3k-4k. Afterwards, new highs are likely in late 2026 and beyond.
This crash in Gold prices is the fastest on record with nine consecutive days in red. Considering the macro, you’d expect it to go higher. However, this price action shows panic selling to access liquidity since global markets are under stress.
The actual panic will start when the stock market crashes as well. NASDAQ is already down 10%. The macro is primed for a major crash which will also pull down Gold. At that moment, I’d buy Gold hard. Key levels on the chart with the 3k to 4k zone as a great area to accumulate. Lowest it could go is 2.8k I’d say.
A higher price is pretty much guaranteed later on if the war in the Middle East continues, inflation picks-up, and the stock market falls. I’d definitely consider buying any Gold discounts in such an environment.
This ongoing volatility will filter weak hands, but Gold has been a strong performer in similar times, like the 1970s when we had another energy crisis. I lean bearish until late 2026, but bullish thereafter. Make good use of this time.
Start Farming this DEX!
It’s hard to get excited about anything in this market right now. However, behind the scenes, there is a new decentralized exchange that caught my attention due to its pedigree and backing.
They do everything Hyperliquid does with lower fees and it’s a prime place to farm a future airdrop! DEXes are one of the few real use cases in crypto that will never go away.
As money rotates between DEXes, you should too. Let’s start.
