In the volatile theatre of the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 
Solana are showing signs of a potential high-time-frame reversal. After weeks 
of stress and price compression, each of the top assets is now stabilizing at 
key structural support levels. The multiple leading cryptocurrencies are 
flashing similar recovery setups at the same time. The current crypto 
landscape may be setting up one of the most powerful high-time-frame reversals 
across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. An investor and trader known as MacroCRG 
on X highlighted that yesterday, all three assets printed a bullish engulfing 
candle, a strong signal that buyers are stepping back in with intent. Market 
Leaders Hint At A Shift Before Smaller Assets Follow On the weekly chart, each 
asset is showing the early stages of an inside-week breakout paired with a 
false breakdown. MacroCRG pointed out that a similar structure on the ES (S&amp;P

spotted a high-conviction whale trader aggressively building long positions 
across the crypto market. Currently, the trader is leading the Lighter 
leaderboard with over $64 million in profit and loss, while maintaining an 83% 
long bias. His Lighter account has the highest profit and loss with over $8 
million. These are insane numbers compared to everyone else on the 
leaderboard. Data shows that the trader has made five deposits into his 
Lighter account, which total around $6 million in capital. His positions are 
spread across BTC, ETH, SOL, AAVE, along with smaller plays such as PAXG and 
PUMP, consistently entering at strong timing points and riding momentum 
higher. Even though funding costs have flipped heavily negative, he is not 
backing down. Presently, this is the top-performing account on Lighter, and 
this is serious capital deployed with conviction. How Increased Partners Drive
