Dogecoin is at a technical area that will look very familiar to traders who followed its 2024 rally. The weekly chart shows Dogecoin is pressing into a long-term Fibonacci fan structure drawn from the 2021 peak, with the current retest coming near the 0.618 Fib fan after a similar 0.5 Fib fan retest preceded the large move in October 2024. This technical setup does not confirm a breakout on its own, but it places Dogecoin at one of its most important weekly decision points in months. Related Reading: History Shows Bitcoin ETF Outflows Favor Accumulation, Says Santiment Dogecoin Returns To A Familiar Fib Fan Structure The main idea of this technical analysis is that Dogecoin is still trading inside a long-term descending resistance structure that began from the 2021 all-time high price of $0.7316. However, the analysis also uses an interesting Fibonacci waves indicator in the form of expanding fan lines extending from the memecoin’s peak price. These lines have acted as long-term resistance and breakout markers across DOGE’s post-2021 structure. Price spent much of 2022 and 2023 below these fan lines, only pushing into stronger recoveries when it reclaimed one of them. The comparison is the October 2024 retest. At that time, DOGE fell below the 0.5 Fib fan area, held the structure below for a while, and then followed with a rally that sent its price to as high as $0.48 in December 2024. The chart now shows a similar retest developing around the 0.618 Fib fan, with the Dogecoin price currently trading around the $0.10 to $0.11 range. Dogecoin Price Chart. Source: @_CryptoSurf On X Is Dogecoin Preparing For Another Wave? Dogecoin’s current interaction with the indicator shows it may be checking whether another Fib level can behave like support. If it holds, the setup will mean that Dogecoin is building another base at a Fib fan level similar to the Q4 2024 run. The ideal scenario for a bullish run is that DOGE holds above $0.095, pushes through $0.115, and begins climbing back above $0.14. That would make the 0.618 Fib fan retest look more like the October 2024 setup, where a technical hold came before a larger wave. On the other hand, if the setup fails, the repeat pattern loses credibility, and the Dogecoin price may return to lower support zones. A weekly breakdown below $0.095 would weaken the current pattern and lead to a consolidation between $0.095 and $0.08.

The price of Bitcoin seemed set for another round of pain over the weekend after falling below the psychological $75,000 level on Saturday morning. However, the premier cryptocurrency has somewhat recovered and is looking to reclaim $77,000 as of this writing. At the same time, an increase in the supply of Bitcoin’s long-term investors was also observed on the day, although the signal might not be what it seems. Here’s Why BTC LTH Supply Data Is Skewed In a recent post on the X platform, pseudonymous analyst Darkfost revealed a surge in the Bitcoin supply held by long-term holders (LTH) over the past few days. However, this supposed rise in LTH activity might not be as relevant to BTC’s growth as the data would ordinarily suggest. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Thesis Goes Big: 39 Trillion Reasons To Buy, Says Gemini Founder Highlighting data from CryptoQuant, Darkfost shared that the long-term holder supply has increased from 15 million to 15.8 million BTC over the past two days. The on-chain analyst noted that this metric is among the numerous data points affected by Coinbase’s movement of roughly 800,000 BTC in November 2025. Between November 22nd and 23rd, the US-domiciled crypto exchange shuffled 800,000 BTC (worth nearly $70 billion, at the time) between its internal wallets. As Darkfost mentioned, this maintenance transfer destroyed old LTH UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs) and created new but skewed Bitcoin datasets. The crypto analyst wrote on X: As a result, datasets across multiple platforms incorporated this movement, affecting UTXO-based metrics, age and value cohorts, STH/LTH cost basis, realized value, volumes, and more. Saturday, May 23rd marked six months since the Bitcoin transfer, with the moved BTC now fully transitioned from the short-term holder (STH) to the long-term holder supply. Typically, an increase in LTH supply signals increased accumulation and a growing conviction among the most seasoned crypto investors. However, market participants might want to exercise caution when making decisions with this on-chain signal, considering that it does truly reflect an increase in investor demand. What’s Next For Bitcoin Price? In a separate post on the X platform, Darkfost identified the next major resistance level for the Bitcoin price. Highlighting the STH cost basis, the analyst said that this resistance currently sits just above the $80,000 mark. According to Darkfost, the short-term investors seem to be choosing to cut their losses rather than holding for a reversal, as evidenced by resistance the Bitcoin price faces at their average cost basis. Hence, the premier cryptocurrency needs a sustained break above the $80,000 ceiling for its recovery journey to continue. As of this writing, BTC is valued at around $76,490, reflecting a 1% price increase in the past 24 hours.

XRP is in a compression phase, and technical analysis indicates that the price action may be approaching a point where patience turns into panic before direction finally becomes clear. XRP’s chart setup is filled with uncertainty, but there’s one critical support level that could decide XRP’s next move and another price level it needs to overcome for bullish confirmation. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Thesis Goes Big: 39 Trillion Reasons To Buy, Says Gemini Founder XRP’s Descending Broadening Wedge Pattern XRP’s price action has been on a downward path of lower highs since the beginning of the year, and this extends to a correction since its July 2025 peak at $3.65. This price action, according to technical analysis done by popular crypto analyst Egrag Crypto, has led to the formation of a descending broadening wedge on XRP’s higher-timeframe chart. A descending broadening wedge pattern often appears during late-stage accumulation phases, with expanding volatility constrained within downward-sloping boundaries rather than signaling outright weakness. “This is NOT a random formation,” the analyst wrote. “Historically, these structures often produce final capitulation THEN violent expansion.” According to Egrag Crypto’s chart, the formation carries a 57% probability of upside resolution against a 43% probability of further downside. Current price action supports a downward move. This is why EGRAG described the current phase as short-term bearish compression, even though the larger macro structure is still bullish unless the structure breaks fully. XRP Price Chart. Source: @egragcrypto On X The Levels That Define Everything The most important downside level on the chart is $1.11. Egrag noted this as critical support, and it acts as the boundary between normal volatility inside the structure and a more dangerous breakdown. XRP is currently trading around $1.36 and below moving averages, including the EMA20 at $1.391, the EMA50 at $1.404, and the EMA200 at $1.684; the distance to that support level is not comfortable. A loss of $1.11 would place XRP in a weaker technical position and lead to an extreme 70% flush scenario to $0.32. That level is not the analyst’s base case, but it shows the type of liquidity sweep that can happen if the descending broadening wedge breaks in the wrong direction. The bullish side of the analysis will not begin until XRP confirms a move above $3. The analyst also noted that a weekly or monthly reclaim above $2.65 to $3 would change everything, because that would mean XRP has broken back above the upper resistance area that has contained the broadening wedge. Related Reading: History Shows Bitcoin ETF Outflows Favor Accumulation, Says Santiment The CLARITY Act, which cleared the Senate Banking Committee on May 14 and still awaits a Senate floor vote, could pull an additional $4 billion to $8 billion in ETF inflows into XRP. This is the kind of capital movement that could realistically drive an XRP price retest of that zone. Should XRP reclaim and hold above $3, Egrag’s expansion targets stretch from $7 to $11.
