Your Top Crypto Alpha #90
What's the best crypto alpha this week?
There’s a new chain that combines the best privacy features from Monero or Zcash with Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem on top.
Imagine AAVE or Uniswap, but encrypted end-to-end and self-contained within its own confidential on-chain execution environment.
The confidentiality goes beyond the chain itself. Such DeFi protocols can be private and encrypted even from the network itself or its validators. Then add AI agents operating or using such apps while everything stays encrypted.
This is not something in the future, it’s available today! Scroll down to find more about it, but first an update about Bitcoin.

Latest Bitcoin Price Forecast
TLDR: Everyone got excited seeing Bitcoin above 80k, but it was a trap! The price reversed course and is now on its way to test the 75k support. If that fails to hold, expect new lows later on.
The pump at the end of this week was a prime short opportunity and a trap set by market makers to trap FOMO buyers. This was very evident on the HYPE chart and I flagged it at that point on X.
While everyone got excited seeing Bitcoin above 80k, the price was still in a bearish channel, as presented on the below chart. As soon as Bitcoin reached its upper limit, sellers returned.
This price action should not be surprising since it respects the macro trend. Bitcoin already completed and broke down from two similar patterns since late 2025. This would be the third, and perhaps, the last time it happens before Bitcoin finds a bottom.
If Bitcoin fall under the 75k support, expect new lows in the coming months. Anything between 50k to 30k is a buy area in my book and I am patiently waiting for that moment. Invalidation of this bias is a price above this last channel.
Be patient. Stack cash for that buy opportunity. It’s coming.
A new king of privacy is here!
It’s not often that I see an asymmetric opportunity in the market. But this one qualifies and I FOMOed into it with my ETH bag.
The reason is pretty straightforward.
Instead of holding Ethereum which may not do more than a 2x in the foreseeable future, I’d rather hold something that has higher risk, but can deliver a 10x or more by next year.
Go big or go home!
Before sharing that alpha, here is an update on the pmalt vault I shilled in my last newsletter which is public for all to read. Our members printed on this and was an easy way to make the yearly YCC subscription for this newsletter on that alpha alone!
I deposited $5,000 in that vault to test it, and since then, it booked over $630 in profit, or a return of 12% in less than a month. At the current APR rate, you’d more than double your money in a year.
Now lets move to the alpha of this week. If you love the privacy meta, this one is for you!
