This week in the crypto market brought a cocktail of serious gains, meme jabs, and meaningful infrastructure progress. From AURA's surprising rally to Twitter's obsession with FARTCOIN and algorithmic bots, here's what traders are clicking, talking, and trading about.
• AURA (+20.84%) and AB (+16.54%) posted triple-digit rallies over the past month.
• EOS quietly climbing (+7.34%) amid deeper order books and remnant blue-chip loyalty.
• SUI, DEEP, and TKX were among weekly losers, down roughly 5%+ each.
• Meme tokens like FARTCOIN dominate social sentiment despite minimal fundamentals.
• Trading automation like Copy Trader and Cody AI gain traction rapidly across platforms.
This week in crypto felt like the financial equivalent of a fireworks show: loud, volatile, and wildly entertaining. A narrow set of names surged while others slid—AURA soared with a jaw-dropping gain of 20.84%, followed by AB at 16.54% and WBT at 8.15%. Meanwhile, the red zone was led by TKX, which dipped 5.96%, closely trailed by KET and SUI.
These moves weren't just numbers—they carried narratives. AURA, the perpetual underdog, generated buzz for its ecosystem expansion into AI-powered DeFi indexing. AB, an often-overlooked token tied to Web3 authentication protocols, caught fire thanks to several high-profile GitHub integrations. And EOS put in a strong 7.34% rally of its own, a reminder that OG chains still have fight left in them.
Meanwhile, over on Crypto Twitter—basically Wall Street Bets in a hoodie—we saw the usual blend of meme magic and tech milestones. Users couldn’t shut up about FARTCOIN (“It’s the only use case for Solana,” said one tweet), but buried in the noise were meaningful updates.
@QuadTerminal’s integrations and Copy Trader bot drew attention from serious traders. Perpetuals live on HyperliquidX, KuCoin Futures coming soon, and automation via AI-driven bots all reinforced one idea: if you’re not automating your edge yet, you’re falling behind.
As always, Michael Saylor’s gospel rang clear: “No one has ever lost money buying Bitcoin.” Although factually incorrect (depending on the day you bought!), the rallying call adds fuel to the growing retail sentiment that the time to DCA (Dollar Cost Average) is now.
What’s pushing prices besides tweets and tech? Flow data suggests that smaller-cap tokens are sucking in speculative capital while blue chips consolidate. Many market makers noticed increasing order book depth for EOS, aligning with its price uptick, while sell walls on SUI and DEEP painted a less optimistic picture.
ZBCN and GRASS (no joke, actual names) were also highlighted in the Quad Terminal blog as microcap gainers. These assets are often moved by retail frenzies rather than fundamentals. As such, their spikes offer a useful barometer for sentiment rotation: when RVN “gets clipped” as it did this week, it’s a sign traders are chasing alpha in more volatile corners.
The migration from retail chaos to institutional composure is well underway. Quad Terminal, once a niche interface, is rapidly becoming the Bloomberg for DeFi. Their accumulator bots, technical strategy tools, and copy trading function echo the algorithmic sophistication found in traditional high-frequency trading.
Among the pro crowd, there’s excitement about integrating Cody AI with order management systems. Being able to design automated trading strategies with natural-language prompts is no longer a dream—it's becoming standard. Fear not, the bots are friendly. For now.
While sentiment is cautiously bullish, there's a stealth narrative developing: the alts are fighting back. With Bitcoin still playing chicken with its all-time high but not yet breaking through, sidelined capital is rotating into promising narratives—Web3 identity, AI x DeFi, and meme coins with inexplicably large followings (hello, Fartcoin).
The altcoin mini-szn may not have fully ignited yet, but when tokens like AURA and AB post 15–20% gains in a week while Bitcoin moves sideways, it's a sign the capital want volatility—just perhaps with veiled fundamentals behind it.
With chatter heating up about Bitcoin breaking its historical ceiling, macro watchers are keeping close tabs on liquidity cues and ETF inflows. Until BTC makes its big move, altcoin trading remains the playground of momentum and smart automation.
Expect more integrations and strategy tools to crop up as platforms compete for trader mindshare. In fact, the success of bots with built-in technical strategies (Bollinger Bands, MACD, Mean Reversion) could usher in a wave of retail algo arms dealers. Man versus machine? It’s more like man, with machine, versus everyone else.

Watch volume flows in lesser-known mid-cap tokens for front-running pivot moments. Combine technical bots with sentiment scanning tools to catch early alt rotations—before Twitter memes them into the stratosphere.
