Bitcoin Surges to $92K: Are We Fully Back in a Bull Market?
According to KookCapitalLLC, Bitcoin has surged to $92,000, prompting discussions on whether the cryptocurrency market is entering a sustained bull phase. Analysts highlight the key resistance levels and potential market implications. This surge is attributed to increased institutional interest and positive regulatory developments, which could impact trading strategies.
Solana Price Prediction As $SOL Hits $140 – FOMO Buy Now or Wait For A Better Entry?
Crypto prices are seeing a strong bounce in early US trading hours on Monday, with the Bitcoin price reclaiming the $88,000 level. Solana followed suit, surging to a high of $143 — a rally of over 50% from its April 7th bottom. Solana price predictions from prominent analysts suggest it would be one of the top-performing altcoins in the upcoming crypto bull run.
Its bullish strength has resulted in significant FOMO buying from whales. Data from Lookonchain reveals that a whale purchased over $52 million worth of $SOL from Binance at $141.
However, bearish divergences on the Solana price chart suggest that the sidelined investors who exercise patience will likely get better entry positions in the coming days.
Ethereum price prediction: Is ETH ready for a breakout after 26% rally?
After several weeks of sluggish price action, Ethereum is finally showing signs of a meaningful recovery. The second-largest crypto by market cap recently climbed past $1,800, staging a sharp rebound from its Apr. 9 low, when it briefly dipped below $1,400.
That earlier drop was partly triggered by market unease over President Trump’s tariff-driven economic stance, which had weighed on risk assets.
Since then, ETH has rallied more than 26%, breaking decisively out of the narrow $1,500 to $1,600 range where it had remained stuck for much of the month. As of April 23, Ethereum is trading near $1,790, gaining over 10% in just the past 24 hours.

FET Rallies Through Resistance — Can Solana (SOL) Catch Up Following the Same Fractal?
In the cryptocurrency market over the past week, major altcoins are starting to show signs of recovery after enduring sharp corrections since the start of the year. Among them, the AI-focused token Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) has come into the spotlight with an impressive weekly gain of 31%, fueled by a major technical breakout on the lower timeframes.
Meanwhile, Solana (SOL) is also back on the green track with a 10% surge — and is flashing a very similar setup to FET’s recent breakout, suggesting that a short-term rally could be just around the corner.
