DAILY MARKET OVERVIEW
Market Goes Vertical 💹
👋 Hey, Crypto Enthusiasts! The market is booming, so let’s quickly dive in!
We're witnessing something truly remarkable today. Bitcoin has once again broken through the $100,000 barrier, and Ethereum has reclaimed the critical $2,000 level.
The reason? Trump’s first deal!
📰 The Trump Trade Deal Catalyst
President Donald Trump confirmed a trade deal with the United Kingdom on Thursday. This represents the first such agreement since reciprocal tariffs were announced on April 2nd. Key aspects include:
The 10% base tariff remains in place for UK goods, potentially establishing a baseline for future negotiations
Creation of an Aluminum and Steel trading zone
Development of a secure pharmaceutical supply chain
In the President's own words:
"Today is an incredible day for America as we deliver our first Fair, Open, and Reciprocal Trade Deal, Something our past Presidents never cared about. Together with our strong Ally, the United Kingdom, we have reached the first, historic Trade Deal since Liberation Day."
When questioned about potential negotiations with China before this weekend's meeting, Trump indicated flexibility:
"Well, it could be. We're going to see. Right now, you can't get any higher... I think we're going to have a very good relationship."
Trump clarified that the 10% baseline tariff is not a template for all future trade deals, calling it a "low number" and noting that "others will be higher." He emphasized that 10% represents "probably the lowest end" of potential tariff structures.
Most tellingly for investors, the President directly advised Americans to "better go out and buy stocks now" – a statement that has clearly resonated across crypto markets as well.
🔄 Liquidity Returns as Sentiment Shifts
These positive geopolitical developments are dramatically improving sentiment across risk assets. Crypto markets are benefiting from the return of sidelined capital as investors who had been waiting for clearer signals are jumping back in.
⏱️ Short-Term Market Expectations
Markets are currently experiencing massive FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)
The $102K level represents significant technical resistance for BTC, likely to temporarily halt the current rally
We anticipate a modest pullback in the coming days as traders take profits
📈 Longer-Term Outlook
Overall market structure looks exceptionally solid
Bitcoin dominance shows early signs of weakening
This potential BTC dominance decline creates room for altcoins to finally launch their own rallies from currently depressed prices
The broader market appears fundamentally strong. Additional trade agreements would further bolster sentiment and potentially trigger extended upside across the ecosystem.

SOCIAL SENTIMENT
Green Across the Board as Greed Takes Hold
The entire market is flashing green today. The Fear & Greed Index has shifted firmly into "Greed" territory, signaling growing investor confidence.
Let's explore some projects positioned to potentially perform well in this emerging bull run:
🔷 Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum is finally receiving renewed attention following the successful Pectra upgrade. We could see ETH begin to outperform BTC in the coming months.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Stripe has announced plans to integrate stablecoins into their platform, built on Ethereum's infrastructure. This represents major validation from traditional fintech.
🐸 Pepe (PEPE)
The undisputed meme champion of this cycle continues proving itself as an excellent ETH beta play. True to form, PEPE is currently gaining approximately double ETH's percentage, effectively functioning as a leveraged ETH position.
The prevailing market narrative suggests PEPE will eventually flip SHIB (last cycle's favorite) to become this cycle's dominant meme token.
🐅 Keeta
This emerging blockchain project currently launched on Base has attracted significant attention, including investment from Google's former CEO. Keeta is developing a regulatory-focused blockchain designed to support stablecoins & many other institutional functions.
Traders are drawing comparisons to XRP, and the project is cultivating a growing supporter base on X. This could develop into a particularly compelling narrative.
🤖 AI Opportunities on the Horizon
We're closely monitoring opportunities in the AI agent ecosystem, as this sector continues its rapid development and integration with blockchain technology.
As Bitcoin dominance finally shows signs of weakening, we expect altcoins to begin performing exceptionally well. The conditions appear increasingly favorable for diversification beyond BTC into carefully selected alternative assets.
Stay vigilant and position strategically!

Coin Bureau – Crypto Boom Incoming? Coinbase Report Signals Major Bull Run (08.05.2025 Summary)
Guy from CoinBureau breaks down Coinbase and Glassnode’s Q1 2025 report and says crypto is in a transitional phase. Short-term pressure is likely, but multiple catalysts could flip sentiment and trigger a broader rally in the second half of the year. His take: bumpy now, bullish later.
Bitcoin Still Commands Respect
BTC Dominance Rising: Now at 63%, its highest since early 2021, as investors flee riskier altcoins and seek safety in BTC.
Long-Term Holders Accumulating: When BTC dropped under $90K, illiquid supply rose, suggesting investors were buying dips, not panic selling.
ETF Inflows Resilient: Despite market volatility, spot BTC ETFs saw steady inflows. BlackRock’s IBIT is now the largest BTC holder among ETFs.
Guy’s Outlook: Bitcoin continues to behave like a “safe haven” within crypto, and if the cycle is still tracking 2015–2018 (as the data suggests), we may be far from the top.
Ethereum Under Pressure, But Don’t Count It Out
ETH in Capitulation: Q1 saw a sharp rise in ETH holders moving into losses, from just 5 million ETH to over 40 million in loss.
Staking Losing Appeal: Yield dropped to 4%, less than what US Treasury bonds offer. This is making ETH less attractive to big investors.
ETH ETFs Lagging: After some excitement post-Trump’s election, $100M+ in outflows hit ETH spot ETFs in Q1.
BUT…
DeFi Recovery and Layer 2 Activity: Despite ETH's price struggles, DeFi usage is climbing, with stablecoin volume and L2 transaction counts showing strength.
Guy’s Outlook: ETH looks weak now, but the fundamentals of DeFi and upcoming improvements could shift momentum fast, especially if macro conditions help.
Institutional and Macro Forces Could Flip the Script
Spot ETF Access Could Explode: If major brokerages like Vanguard or JP Morgan loosen restrictions, we could see $400–$765B in new inflows. That’s 22x more than 2024.
Liquidity Boost on the Horizon:
The Fed may end QT (quantitative tightening) and restart QE if bond markets wobble.
Fed also hinted at interest rate cuts by year-end, or sooner if economic data worsens.
Guy’s Outlook: Liquidity is everything. If the Fed gets dovish while Ethereum improves technically, a full-blown bull run could reignite fast.
Final Take: Bumpy Road, But Bullish Turn Ahead
Guy says the current pain is part of a transition. Bitcoin is holding up, Ethereum may be close to a recovery pivot, and macro conditions could surprise to the upside. With ETF adoption, DeFi strength, and regulatory clarity growing, the setup for late 2025 looks strong if markets can get through the next few months.
Lark Davis – Bitcoin Exploding NOW!!! (08.05.2025 Summary)
Lark says the bull run is back in full force. Bitcoin is pushing $100K, altcoins are surging, and the market is being flooded with bullish catalysts from global interest rate cuts to institutional FOMO. His take: “This is only the beginning of something massive.”
Bitcoin Is Exploding, and It’s Not Just Hype
BTC Near $100K Live: Lark streamed with Bitcoin hitting $99,900 a psychological milestone, powered by bullish headlines and technical momentum.
Strong Technical Breakout: He highlights a breakout from a key consolidation zone and a clean retest of the 20-day EMA. Chart patterns suggest more upside, with a potential path toward $157K to $250K based on historical moving average confluences.
Macro Still Supportive:
China & UK cut rates, injecting liquidity.
The US Fed is holding steady, but rate cuts are still expected later this year.
Headlines are turning from bearish to bullish, and the market is responding.
Lark’s Outlook: We’re seeing headline-driven optimism finally shift market psychology. Rate cuts and institutional flows could fuel a parabolic BTC move. The upside could still be enormous.
Institutions, Governments, and Corporations Are All Buying
New Bitcoin Acquisition Companies: He lists a surge of new public companies with only one purpose to buy and hold Bitcoin. Some are raising hundreds of millions in capital.
Countries Are Entering: Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, and US states like Arizona are formalizing strategic Bitcoin reserves. CZ, ex-Binance CEO, is flying around advising governments to buy BTC.
ETF Flows and TradFi Interest: Capital from traditional finance continues flowing in, and Lark believes the “before governments buy” window is closing fast.
Lark’s Outlook: A tidal wave of demand is building, and many aren’t prepared for what comes next. He’s still buying dips, saying, “One day, 0.01 BTC might cost $10K.”
Altcoins Are Back, But Winners Are Changing
Sui and Solana Leading: Lark says Sui is the “goat of the cycle” with incredible strength and upside potential. Solana also broke out and could target $170 next.
Ethereum Still Struggling:
ETH isn’t leading this cycle. Despite a recent bounce, it’s underperforming relative to BTC and Solana.
Lark has exited most ETH positions for better risk/reward elsewhere.
ETH dominance is falling even though DeFi and Layer 2 activity is rising.
Lark’s Outlook: This alt season isn’t waiting for Ethereum. Narratives have shifted. Fast-moving chains like Sui and Solana are getting the attention and the capital.
Caution Amid Euphoria: Pullbacks Will Happen
Reminder to Take Profits: Lark warns that wild uptrends come with vicious pullbacks. He urges viewers to “pay yourself” along the way.
Most Coins Still Deep in Drawdowns: Despite the pump, many altcoins are still down 75–90% from all-time highs. There’s still major upside ahead, especially for newer or under-the-radar tokens.
Lark’s Outlook: Embrace the upside, but stay smart. This is likely the middle of the bull run, not the end, but cycles always end in tears if you don’t manage risk.
Final Take: This Cycle Is Different - Be Ready
Lark believes we’re in a new phase of the bull market, driven by institutional validation, geopolitical adoption, and macro tailwinds. He’s more focused on fast chains and meme coins than ETH, and says this market doesn’t need Ethereum to rip for the rest of crypto to fly.
His advice: “Watch the charts in front of you, not the ones you wish existed. This market is wild, and we’ve only just begun.”
