$ZK

ZK is beginning to show life at a very interesting point in the market cycle.


The screenshot shows ZK around 0.0132 with a 24 hour gain of 5.43 percent.


The bigger picture is what catches my attention.


Crypto volume has surged above 82 billion dollars, Bitcoin dominance is sitting around 59 percent, and the Altcoin Season Index is around 63.


That does not guarantee an altcoin rally.


But it tells me that capital is moving around the market with increasing intensity.


ZK is one of the names I want to see build strength rather than simply spike.


The first support region I am watching is 0.0130 to 0.0132.


If that area holds, the next challenge is 0.0140.


A clean breakout above 0.0140 could shift attention toward 0.0150 and then 0.0170.


My ZK plan:


EP: 0.0130 to 0.0133


TP1: 0.0140


TP2: 0.0150


TP3: 0.0170


SL: 0.0124


The most important signal will be volume confirmation.


I do not want to see price move higher while participation disappears.


I want to see buyers step in, defend the breakout, and turn resistance into support.


If 0.0124 breaks decisively, the setup loses its strength and I would rather wait for a new structure.


The market is becoming more aggressive.


ZK is starting to respond.


The next question is whether this is only a bounce or the beginning of something bigger.


I am ready for the move.

$KOMA

KOMA is exactly the type of smaller altcoin that can become extremely interesting when market liquidity starts rotating into higher risk assets.


The screenshot shows KOMA around 0.02163 with a 24 hour gain of 5.46 percent.


That percentage alone does not make the setup bullish.


What makes it interesting is the market environment surrounding it.


Crypto trading volume has expanded dramatically, Bitcoin dominance has slipped from its recent level, and the Altcoin Season Index is currently above 60.


When capital begins searching for higher beta opportunities, coins that are already showing relative strength can attract attention very quickly.


For KOMA, the first area I want to see defended is 0.0210 to 0.0215.


If buyers maintain that region, I want to see a move through 0.0220 followed by a test of 0.0230.


My KOMA plan:


EP: 0.0212 to 0.0218


TP1: 0.0230


TP2: 0.0250


TP3: 0.0280


SL: 0.0202


The important thing is not simply reaching the first target.


The important thing is how price behaves around 0.0230.


If it breaks that level with strong volume and holds the breakout, the market may begin looking toward the higher targets.


If it falls below 0.0202, I would consider the setup invalid rather than trying to force the trade.


Small caps can move quickly in both directions.


That is why the entry zone and stop matter more than the excitement.


The market is heating up.


KOMA is already moving.


Now I am waiting for confirmation.


I am ready for the move.

$CYBER

CYBER is starting to wake up at a time when the entire market is becoming louder.


The screenshot shows CYBER around 0.34 with a 24 hour gain of 5.59 percent. The move is not explosive yet, and that is exactly what makes the setup interesting to watch.


The broader market is showing a major increase in trading activity. Total crypto volume is currently above 82 billion dollars, while Bitcoin dominance has moved slightly lower. At the same time, whale activity remains elevated across major assets.


This is the kind of environment where smaller and mid cap tokens can suddenly transition from quiet accumulation into aggressive expansion.


For CYBER, I am watching the 0.33 to 0.34 region first.


If buyers defend that zone and price begins accepting above 0.35, the next challenge becomes 0.36. A successful breakout there could bring 0.39 and eventually 0.42 into focus.


The biggest mistake here would be chasing a sudden spike without waiting for confirmation.


My CYBER plan:


EP: 0.332 to 0.342


TP1: 0.360


TP2: 0.390


TP3: 0.420


SL: 0.318


The 0.32 to 0.33 region is the area I want buyers to protect.


If CYBER continues making higher lows while volume expands, the setup becomes increasingly attractive.


If price loses 0.318 decisively, I would step aside rather than fight the market.


The market is waking up.


CYBER is already showing the first signs of movement.


Now I want to see whether the volume confirms the story.


I am ready for the move.

CFTC staff said on September 17 that qualifying passive software providers can connect users to regulated derivatives markets and collect transaction fees or revenue shares. They cannot hold customer assets or choose where orders go, and disclosure, notice and liability conditions apply. That gives crypto apps a possible regulated revenue stream without operating an exchange. But this is a staff position that can be changed or withdrawn, not a permanent regulatory moat. //zero illusion

Still paying close attention to the 'unrealised gains tax' developments in the Netherlands. The government is currently proposing to 'temporarily' tax crypto & metals on unrealised gains, and other assets purely on realised gains - and trying to push it through by the end of the year. I doubt they will manage to do that, which means it'd come into effect in 2029 at the earliest. By then, the coming $BTC bull will likely be over already. Still far from a majority in both the House & Senate in its current form. The longer this drags on, the better - my strategy is and always has been to use crypto to get more long-term exposure to indices and ETFs. If I can sit out this cycle under the old system, and move capital into TradFi before they 'temporarily' fuck crypto, I'll be just fine. I'll simply wait and see what the final wealth tax looks like, and stay the course until I know more.

$MON is showing bearish pressure after the long liquidation at $0.02854. The setup favors a short trade if price remains below the liquidation level and fails to reclaim resistance.


EP: $0.02840–$0.02860

TP1: $0.02780

TP2: $0.02720

TP3: $0.02650

SL: $0.02915


A clean rejection near the entry zone can strengthen the short setup. If $MON reclaims and holds above $0.02915, the bearish setup becomes invalid. #CFTC proposes crypto exchange framework
