Crypto Market 2026: Quantum Ascend's Technical Breakdown on Venezuela Catalyst, Alt Bounces & Top Coins
Jan 13, 2026
Hey Brother,
Dad Ledger went deep with Quantum Ascend (@quantum_ascend)—10+ year crypto veteran, master of Elliott Waves, Fibs, RSI. By popular demand, QA returned to map the shift: 2025 as bear/setup year giving way to 2026 catalysts. Venezuela's Maduro capture unlocked massive resources, removing black swans. We covered TA basics, portfolio discipline, top coins, and closed with dad wins + bold Jabez prayer.
As dads building generational wealth, disciplined positioning matters—utility over hype, faith over fear.
Technical Analysis 101: Tools That Cut Noise
QA demystified TA: Bag of tools measuring market momentum/projections. Focus on 2-3 indicators (his: RSI, Elliott Waves, Fibs) vs chasing patterns (head/shoulders, cups—often confirmation bias).
| Core Tool | What It Shows | Dad Application |
|---|---|---|
| RSI | Overbought/oversold momentum | Weekly sweeps low-to-high = strong bounces |
| Elliott Waves | 5-wave impulse patterns | Project moves, spot capitulation bottoms |
| Fib Retracements | Key support/resistance levels | Dollar-cost dips at 0.618/0.786 zones |
High-timeframe focus (daily/weekly) reduces stress vs intraday noise.
2025 Bear Recap & 2026 Catalysts
2025 felt bearish for alts (80%+ drops) despite Bitcoin highs. October 2025 liquidation cascade (thin books, exchange issues) started leak. Now: dominance (BTC/Tether) rolling over, weekly RSIs sweeping up = alt runway.
Geopolitics accelerating: Venezuela oil/gold/cobalt unlock stabilizes supply (downward oil prices), removes invasion risk. Iran powder keg, potential regime shifts. Clarity Act markup soon—commodity pathways for more assets.
Top Coins & Strategies (Not Financial Advice – DYOR)
QA's long-term conviction:
- XRP: Regulatory clarity, DeFi push, runway as #3 coin.
- ADA (Cardano): Active development, ~$10 confluence target (20x potential).
- AI plays (e.g., hammered but utility-rich)—opportunity at lows.
Portfolio rule: ~5 coins max. Know levels cold. Dollar-cost dips, rebalance. Short-term swings for ADD relief.
