Here's the Analysis of #ALGO :

#ALGO took its ride from the key support zone of $0.157 - $0.160 and now reached the major resistance area around $0.28 - $0.30. Price can either reject or breakout over the zone. Buys and sells only taken after rejection or breakout happens.

#BTC retraced a little, back to $120,000 mark and now dropping again. The support standing strong and likely to move sideways now. Stop hunt already happened and price might give a new ATH sooner.

#SAGA formed a good consolidation range after the rejection and might move lower. Currently it at the middle of the range and might bounce back from the bottom area of it around $0.27. For position use rejection and additional confirmation before taking any long/ short.

Additionally, options trade volume has experienced a significant uptick over the course of this cycle, now averaging $2.4B per day over the past year, and reaching a peak of $5B/day. This surge highlights the growing usage of options contracts by sophisticated market participants, with investors increasingly utilizing options to implement advanced risk management strategies and fine-tune their market exposure.

Here's the Analysis of #AAVE :

#AAVE moving in a long uptrend channel pattern and flipped over the resistance area of $281 - $291. Price building ton of liq. below it and might take a retest of the zone as support and then move up. Take the setup accordingly.

#BTC slowly trying to gain some momentum, still moving within the previous up-move range. Nothing much expected until it break, and a new #ATH will be there once it breaks, else a lower break will lead in fall in market.

#ALGO flipped the resistance had a retest and moved further higher towards the $0.33 area. It moved around 13% in profits and it might continue too. Hold it tight and trail it too.

The growth of spot and derivative volumes highlights a shift toward off-chain venues, with off-chain volume (spot, futures, options) regularly being 7-16x larger than on-chain volume.

This transition significantly impacts network metric interpretation, as traditional indicators may no longer capture full market activity scope. Nevertheless, the on-chain market remains the Bitcoin economy's heart, forming the foundational layer for the wider ecosystem. Deposits and withdrawals serve as the primary link between off-chain platforms and the Bitcoin network, ensuring on-chain activity continues playing a vital role in market structure and capital flows.

A Few ZKML Use Cases

DeFi: Imagine a liquidity pool where an AI algorithm manages the rebalancing of assets to maximize yield while refining its trading strategies along the way. ZKML can execute these calculations offchain and then use ZK proofs to ensure an ML model is legitimate, rather than some other algorithm or another person’s trades. At the same time, ZK can protect users’ trading data so that they retain financial confidentiality, even if the ML models they’re using to make trades are public.

Identity Verification: Projects like World ID and other identity-verified services could rely on ZKML to ensure that users produce a zero-knowledge proof that confirms their scanned iris code (or other PII) was derived from the correctly specified AI model. Then, the proof could be verified by a smart contract and integrated into the identity verification project’s registry.

Healthcare: ZKML makes it possible for hospitals and research institutions to securely train a machine learning model on sensitive patient data while also keeping that data private. Then, each node in the network (i.e. a hospital or clinic) could generate a zero-knowledge proof that confirms the model being used, as well as the data’s veracity.

Today, as we navigate an increasingly AI-driven world, we face a challenge: distinguishing authentic AI models from potentially compromised ones. In crypto, ZK cryptography could stand as a robust, scalable method to verify the integrity of AI models without compromising their inner workings. That way, we can ensure that the AIs shepherding our digital lives are exactly what they claim to be.
