A closely tracked crypto analyst is mapping out what’s in store for Ethereum rivals Terra (LUNA) and Avalanche (AVAX) as the digital asset markets flash signs of life.
In a new strategy session, Altcoin Sherpa says that decentralized finance (DeFi) payment network Terra looks strong on the shorter timeframes as it continues to establish higher lows.
“It’s still, in my opinion, a bullish market structure on the four-hour [chart] and the EMAs (exponential moving averages) still look pretty decent as well.”

“There’s a lot of high sell volume coming in, and it looks like there is potentially some type of head and shoulders pattern playing out. But I would be careful shorting this one personally just because I think that usually, you don’t want to short stuff that’s super strong in general.”
According to Altcoin Sherpa, the $75 price area offers a decent support level for LUNA.
LUNA is currently trading at $91.60 at time of writing.
The next coin on the trader’s radar is smart contract platform Avalanche, which he says is gearing up for a rally ahead of the Avalanche Summit.
“AVAX is in a high timeframe bearish market structure, in my opinion, just because we’re seeing some of these lower lows and lower highs. But currently, we could be breaking out, and there are some bullish catalysts for AVAX in the next week or so with the Avalanche Summit coming [up]… Next target would be about $100, in my opinion.”

The Rally That Wasn't

The article analyzes Bitcoin's sharp decline amid a shift in macroeconomic expectations, with strong US job data leading markets to price out Fed rate cuts. Bitcoin fell 13% to around $67,000, triggering significant outflows from US spot ETFs and indicating institutional de-risking. On-chain data confirms a bearish structure. Price has dropped back into the "bear market range," with the Short-Term Holder Cost Basis falling below a key mean level—a pattern last seen in early 2022. The profitability bias has collapsed, with loss realization now dominating, mirroring a panic wave from February. Recent buyers who accumulated near the $82k top are under pressure, and loss realization is accelerating across both short-term and long-term holder cohorts. Off-chain, the rally failed at the aggregate US ETF cost basis near $83k, turning it into resistance. Spot market demand has deteriorated sharply, with sellers dominating order books. While a major long liquidation event cleared over $400M in leverage, spot buyers have not returned to absorb supply. Options markets show sustained demand for downside protection (elevated put premiums) but not panic, with volatility premiums near three-month highs. The conclusion is that the market remains fragile, with overhead supply from trapped ETF investors, weak spot demand, and accelerating losses. Without a return of spot buying and a reclaim of key cost bases, Bitcoin is vulnerable to further downside within the prevailing bear market structure.
