Digital Asset Commentary

As the US government faces a likely temporary shutdown this week due to a failure to pass annual appropriations bills, gold has surged to new all-time highs. Fixed-supply assets continue to benefit from government and central bank dysfunction as global debt spending accelerates.

Digital assets have also gained momentum amid recent regulatory progress. The SEC’s new Generic Listing Standards for crypto spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) pave the way for multiple ETF launches in Q4. At the same time, Vanguard, the world’s second-largest asset manager, is rumored to be exploring crypto ETFs on its platform after strongly opposing them last year.

Seasonality now turns favorable for crypto, and technicals for both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) suggest consolidation phases may be coming to an end. Adjusted Ichimoku Cloud settings, tailored for 24/7 markets, indicate a possible bullish breakout for BTC if prices hold above $115k. An inverted head-and-shoulders pattern with a diagonal neckline also projects a potential move toward $130k. Such cloud breakouts and chart patterns often signal the end of consolidation.

ETH remains earlier in its cycle, having just entered the Cloud’s neutral zone. BTC may lead the rally in October, with ETH and other altcoins following into November and December. Solana (SOL) has largely maintained relative strength compared to the broader altcoin market, where most mid and low-cap tokens remain deeply negative year-to-date and have yet to recover from the market-wide drop in February. A late-cycle rotation into these heavily discounted alts could emerge if BTC, ETH, and SOL break out to new all-time highs this quarter.
