On July 18, 2025, the total market cap of altcoins officially reached 4 trillion USD – an undeniable signal for the explosive phase of Altseason. Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, Solana... all surged, urging investors to hunt for the next digital gold mine.
☘️ Ethereum (ETH): Breaking the peak, maintaining stability.
• Current price: fluctuating 3,580–3,620 USD after clearly breaking the resistance zone of 3,600 USD.
• Next target: 3,715–4,100 USD; the first "tasty" resistance is the peak of May 2025 at 3,626 USD.
• Important support: 3,307 USD (Fibonacci 0.382) – absolute protection; old bottom 3,107 USD.
• RSI indicator (30′): 71.4 – slightly overbought, may adjust slightly, but the uptrend is still rooted thanks to ETF capital flows and positive on-chain data.
☘️ XRP: New historical peak.
XRP "Overview of Altseason": Altcoin breakout, surpassing the threshold of 4 trillion USD breaking the record of 3.64 USD on July 18, 2025, thanks to a favorable legal ruling in California and tens of millions from whales.
• Rocket speed: from 2.8 USD to 3.64 USD in less than 2 weeks.
• Key to price increase: progress in the dispute with the SEC, paving the way for future XRP ETF.
☘️ Cardano (ADA): Rocket 25% in one day.
ADA shot straight up to 0.74 USD, up 25% from last weekend (0.59 USD) thanks to the Alonzo v4: faster transaction processing, stable gas fees.
• Price range: 0.59 → 0.74 USD.
• Momentum: a new DeFi dApp is coming and collaboration with a European financial organization.
☘️ Solana (SOL) & siblings: Expanding the wave.
• Solana: above 200 USD, up ~15% in a few days, thanks to capital flowing into high throughput projects.
• Dogecoin: jumped 14% back to 0.22 USD, benefiting from a "risk-on" sentiment.
• Sui (SUI): 4 times higher than the same period in 2024, ready for Mysticeti v2 and Move VM 2.0, potential breakout in the second half of 2025.
☘️ The Altcoin Season signal still persists.
1. Altcoin Index (excluding BTC) above 50: more than half of the top 50 altcoins outperform BTC.
2. Bitcoin Dominance drops below 58%: money flows strongly into risk assets.
3. Fear & Greed Index remains in "Greed" since the end of June: FOMO is spreading.
4. The "cup and handle" pattern on the altcoin market cap chart – a sign of sustainable breakout according to Peter Brandt.
🍀 Conclusion
The surge on July 18, 2025, is a strong boost for altcoins, opening up opportunities while simultaneously posing huge volatility risks. Investors and traders should:
• Stay close to technical resistance – support levels.
