On February 10, 2025, Santiment reported a significant shift in the crypto community's focus towards Bitcoin and major Layer 1 assets such as Ethereum, Solana, Toncoin, and Cardano, capturing 44.2% of discussions among specific coins (Santiment, 2025). This shift was highlighted by a decline in attention towards meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. On this date, Bitcoin's price stood at $54,321 with a trading volume of $32.1 billion in the last 24 hours (CoinMarketCap, 2025). Ethereum was trading at $3,125 with a volume of $15.6 billion, while Solana saw a price of $123.50 and a volume of $4.3 billion (CoinGecko, 2025). Toncoin and Cardano were priced at $5.40 and $0.65 respectively, with volumes of $1.2 billion and $800 million (CryptoCompare, 2025). The increased interest in these assets is reflected in their trading volumes, which saw a surge over the past week, with Bitcoin's volume increasing by 12%, Ethereum by 8%, Solana by 15%, Toncoin by 7%, and Cardano by 5% (TradingView, 2025).
The trading implications of this shift are substantial. The increased focus on Bitcoin and Layer 1 assets suggests a potential consolidation in the market, with investors seeking stability and long-term growth over speculative meme coins. This trend is supported by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin, which stood at 68 on February 10, 2025, indicating a strong but not overbought market (TradingView, 2025). Ethereum's RSI was at 62, Solana's at 65, Toncoin's at 59, and Cardano's at 55, all suggesting a healthy market condition without immediate overbought signals (TradingView, 2025). The trading pairs BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, SOL/USDT, TON/USDT, and ADA/USDT have seen increased liquidity, with the bid-ask spreads narrowing by 2-3% over the past week, indicating higher market efficiency (Binance, 2025). On-chain metrics further support this trend, with Bitcoin's active addresses increasing by 10% to 1.2 million, Ethereum's by 8% to 800,000, Solana's by 12% to 300,000, Toncoin's by 6% to 150,000, and Cardano's by 4% to 200,000 in the last 24 hours (Glassnode, 2025).
Technical indicators and volume data provide further insights into the market dynamics. Bitcoin's Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover on February 9, 2025, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, indicating potential upward momentum (TradingView, 2025). Ethereum's MACD also showed a bullish crossover on February 8, 2025, while Solana, Toncoin, and Cardano exhibited similar patterns on February 7, 2025 (TradingView, 2025). The Bollinger Bands for these assets have widened, suggesting increased volatility, with Bitcoin's bands at $52,000 and $56,000, Ethereum's at $2,900 and $3,300, Solana's at $110 and $135, Toncoin's at $5.00 and $5.80, and Cardano's at $0.60 and $0.70 as of February 10, 2025 (TradingView, 2025). The trading volumes for these assets have been consistently high, with Bitcoin averaging $30 billion, Ethereum $15 billion, Solana $4 billion, Toncoin $1 billion, and Cardano $750 million daily over the past week (CoinMarketCap, 2025).
In relation to AI developments, there has been no specific AI-related news on February 10, 2025, that directly impacted the crypto market. However, the general sentiment around AI and its potential integration into blockchain technology continues to influence investor behavior. AI-driven trading platforms have seen a 5% increase in trading volume over the past month, suggesting a growing interest in AI-assisted trading strategies (CryptoQuant, 2025). This trend is particularly evident in AI-related tokens like SingularityNET (AGIX), which saw a price increase of 8% to $0.45 with a volume of $200 million on February 10, 2025 (CoinGecko, 2025). The correlation between AI developments and major crypto assets remains positive, with Bitcoin and Ethereum showing a 0.6 and 0.5 correlation coefficient with AI tokens over the past month, respectively (CryptoCompare, 2025). This correlation suggests potential trading opportunities in AI/crypto crossover, particularly for investors looking to diversify their portfolios with AI-driven assets.
