Michaël van de Poppe: $180K Portfolio Fuels October Altcoin Bets

Michaël van de Poppe disclosed his actual portfolio crossed $180,000 and now holds core positions in $NEAR, $EIGEN, $TAO, $PLUME and $W heading into October. Bitcoin printed a fresh higher high that flips the structure from bear to bull, while $ARB and $SUI breakouts confirm the move. He trims $NEAR after the run from $1.20 to $4+, keeps $EIGEN inside its nine-month accumulation range tied to the weak ETH narrative, and maintains long-held $TAO exposure on the AI sector rotation.

Price action on the 4h chart shows ETH at $2690.89 hugging the EMA50 at $2692.91 while the EMA200 sits at $2587.82 as long-term support. The MACD death cross at 4.1 keeps the trend bearish, yet RSI at 46.95 remains neutral inside the Bollinger bands, so any test of upper resistance at $2729.5 is likely to trigger a measured pullback toward the lower band at $2662.41 before the next directional push.
