Massive Pump Across Crypto. Smart Positioning or FOMO Trap?

Lark breaks down one of the wildest days in recent crypto history. Meme coins, majors, and everything in between are pumping. He explains what’s behind the move, which signals to watch, and why caution is key even during the euphoria.


Crypto Goes Vertical: The Numbers Speak

Key Highlights:
  • Bitcoin soared to $104,000 in a single-day move.

  • Ethereum posted its largest daily gain in over four years.

  • Meme coins like Pepe, Dog with Hat, and even obscure tokens like Fat Hippo and Fartcoin saw triple-digit gains.

  • Around $800 million in short positions were liquidated, the biggest since 2021.


What's Driving the Surge?

Key Highlights:
  • Tariff Talks Shift: Rumors of US-China tariff reductions helped ease macro fears.

  • Liquidity Indicators: Global M2 expansion supports bullish conditions into July or August.

  • Massive Retail Return: App rankings (like Coinbase) show renewed retail interest, though we’re not yet at extreme greed.

  • Technical Breakouts: Many coins broke above key moving averages like the 20-day and 200-day EMAs.


Lark’s Strategy: Ride the Trend, But Lock in Gains

Key Highlights:
  • Lark isn’t buying more into the green. He says he’s mostly positioned already and took profits on names like Solana.

  • He sees this as part of a broader bullish phase that could last into late summer, with sharp pullbacks in between.

  • Key levels to watch for retests: $100,000 for BTC, $2,100 for ETH, $170 for Solana.


ETH & Solana Outlook: Big Moves, More to Come

Key Highlights:
  • ETH dominance has bottomed, with ETHBTC starting to rise.

  • Lark sees 10K to 15K ETH as realistic by cycle peak, expecting midcaps to outperform with 10x or 20x returns.

  • Solana continues to lead, backed by strong on-chain metrics and usage. He sees $180 as the next major resistance.


Altcoins: Wild Gains, Caution Warranted

Key Highlights:
  • Many altcoins are still 50 to 90 percent below all-time highs.

  • Meme coins dominated the rally, but many remain extremely volatile and prone to massive retracements.

  • Coins like Sooie, PopCat, and AI-focused tokens are showing strength, but Lark warns not to chase green candles without proper setups.


Key Indicators to Watch

Key Highlights:
  • Watch for RSI overbought signals and bearish MACD crossovers on the daily and weekly.

  • Coinbase app rankings are a retail sentiment indicator. Right now, they show we’re mid-cycle, not topping yet.

  • Ethereum’s performance often leads the broader altcoin market. Strong ETH is a good sign for risk-on appetite.


Final Take: It’s a Bull Market, But Stay Smart

Lark believes we’re firmly in Phase 2 of the bull cycle. While the momentum is exciting, he reminds viewers that pullbacks are inevitable and that smart entries and exits matter more than ever. His strategy is to avoid chasing pumps and instead position on key retests.
