The crypto market is seeing a jolt of fresh momentum as Bitcoin breaks above $105,000, pulling the broader altcoin space into the green. Investors are showing renewed risk appetite, fueled by bullish technical setups and increasing institutional interest. As total market capitalization climbs, several top altcoins are stealing the spotlight, particularly Merlin Chain (MERL), Ethena (ENA), and Collaterize (COLLAT).
Merlin Chain (MERL): High Volume, Low Price – A Red Flag?
MERL is moving today, but not in the direction traders would prefer. While the overall market pushes higher, MERL has dropped 15% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $0.092.
What’s catching traders’ attention, though, is the 91% surge in trading volume, now at $33 million. When volume spikes while price declines, it’s a classic sign of heavy sell pressure, a bearish divergence that can point to more downside.

Should this momentum continue, MERL could bleed further. But if buyers swoop in, a rebound toward $0.108 remains on the table.
Ethena (ENA): Price Climbs, But Is It All Smoke?
Ethena is aligning more closely with the market trend today, posting a 5% daily gain. However, technical signals suggest this uptrend might not be built on solid ground.
The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), currently at -0.03, shows that while price is going up, buying pressure is weakening. This divergence between price and money flow often hints at an incoming reversal.
If the bears take control, ENA could pull back to $0.34. But if the rally has legs, we could see the price climb toward $0.39.
Collaterize (COLLAT): 50% Surge and Bullish Momentum
COLLAT is today’s breakout star, skyrocketing 50% in early trading to hit a fresh all-time high of $0.082. It has since retraced to $0.071, but indicators suggest the bull run may not be over.
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) shows the MACD line hovering above the signal line, a setup that generally confirms bullish momentum.
If current buying interest holds, COLLAT may make another run at its all-time high, and potentially break past it.
🚀 Final Take: Is Altcoin Season Starting?
With Bitcoin smashing past the $105K mark, altcoins are beginning to show signs of life, but not all trends are equal. MERL shows potential warning signs, ENA flashes mixed signals, and COLLAT is riding high on momentum.
The coming days will reveal whether these trends have staying power or are just short-term bursts. Either way, staying alert to volume, divergences, and technical indicators is crucial for smart positioning.
