As the Bitcoin price approaches record highs, recently surpassing the $121,000 mark, analysts are increasingly optimistic about the cryptocurrency’s trajectory for October, often termed “Uptober.” According to the analysis team at The Bull Theory, there’s a possibility that the Bitcoin price could reach as much as $143,000, meaning a potential surge of nearly 20% for the rest of the month. Bitcoin Price Poised For October Rally Such projections may seem ambitious, but historical data supports the notion that October has consistently been one of Bitcoin’s strongest months. Over the past 12 years, BTC has closed in the green during October in 10 of those years, and the correlation between strong performances in September and October is noteworthy. Following a positive September—where the Bitcoin price recently posted a gain of 3.91%—the stage appears set for another fruitful October. Bitcoin has an impressive October win rate of 83%, having only recorded losses in the month twice since 2011. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Forecast: Expert Predicts Final Impulse Wave Targeting $18,000 In 2014, the cryptocurrency fell by 12.95%, and in 2018, it dropped by 3.83%. This remarkable track record highlights October as one of the most profitable months for Bitcoin holders, with an average return of 20.62%. The pattern remains consistent: every time September has closed positively, October has followed suit. Historical data from previous years shows that a green September often leads to substantial gains in October. For instance, in 2015, the Bitcoin price rose by 33.49% after a September increase of 2.35%. Similarly, in 2023, a 3.91% gain in September translated to a substantial 28.52% increase in October. Could BTC Reach $150,000? The bullish sentiment doesn’t end there. In four out of four instances where both September and October closed positively, November also maintained the upward trend. The data showcases consistent gains: in 2015, November saw a 19.27% increase following a strong October. If Bitcoin were to replicate its historical average return of 20.62% this October, a price point around $143,539 could be on the horizon. Even if it aligns with the median return of 14.71%, investors could see new records reaching just above $136,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Nears Record Levels, Predictions Point To $140,000 By Early 2026 Market expert Michael van de Poppe has also chimed in on the bullish outlook for the Bitcoin price. He noted several strong technical indicators, including BTC’s ability to hold the 20-week moving average as support, breaking through a downtrend at $112,000, and positioning for the highest weekly close in its history. Recent performance has seen a robust 11% weekly candle, further fueling optimism. Additionally, with gold experiencing a significant run, the expert suggests that the Bitcoin price appears poised to catch up. Van de Poppe has expressed confidence that, if current trends continue, the market’s leading cryptocurrency could not only hit $150,000 this quarter but also achieve a new all-time high within the month. When writing, BTC trades at approximately $121,669, only 2% below all-time high levels above $124,000. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
A new debate has surfaced in the crypto community after claims emerged that Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, once mentioned Ripple and XRP in early email exchanges.

A sharp debate has opened inside the XRP community over whether the token could ever reach the kind of eye-popping prices some enthusiasts imagine. Numbers and theory are being thrown around. Practical limits are being argued right back. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rockets Past $119K, Analysts Now Eye $130K Target Market Cap Math And Limits According to reports, the numbers make a simple point: with a circulating supply of close to 60 billion XRP, a price of $1,000 would value the token at about $59.91 trillion. That total would more than double the market cap of gold and top many of the biggest assets on earth. Some analysts use that math to say such prices are not realistic any time soon. Their argument rests on a basic idea — money supply and valuation interact, and extreme price targets imply extreme market value. Garlinghouse Predicts 14% Of SWIFT Volume At the XRPL Apex event in Singapore in 2025, US-based Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse drew a line between messaging systems and actual liquidity. Based on reports from that stage, he told a journalist that XRPL’s future depends more on liquidity than on messaging alone. He estimated the ledger could handle about 14% of SWIFT’s global transaction volume within five years. That figure is large, but it is an adoption target that sits far below the trillion-dollar claims floated elsewhere. I keep telling everyone, the problem crypto solves is liquidity. You can’t print more money to create liquidity, that will just collapse fiat. But you can have limitless (almost unlimited) liquidity simply by having say a token like XRP reaches $10k, that will create over $800T… https://t.co/YpLUe6Sgal — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 2, 2025 A Different Way To See Liquidity Software engineer Vincent Van Code pushed a contrasting view. According to Van Code, XRP should be judged as a tool that can move liquidity around, not as an asset that must be fully cashed out into fiat to matter. Related Reading: Fast And Furious: XRP’s Next Rally Predicted To Shock Markets He proposed that, at a $10,000 price, XRP could unlock more than $800 trillion in liquidity. Van Code used an analogy likened to a logarithmic decay to explain why converting that liquidity to cash would not simply crash markets. His point: market mechanics and swap processes could expand usable liquidity without requiring a one-to-one conversion into existing money supplies. Easily, because it is just a “swap” or bridge token. Liquidity in FX is more about available trading pairs than simply loads of currency. Further, where that liquidity is sitting in crucial. Your point is more related to economic and monetary policy, which is vastly different… — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 3, 2025 Critics Point To Central Banks And Money Supply Other market participants have pushed back. They note that central banks control liquidity through tools like QE and QT, and that broader money measures such as M2 keep changing. Reports show M2 has continued to grow over time in many countries. Those critics ask why governments would hand over control of liquidity to a neutral digital token. They also warn that the math Van Code uses assumes wide adoption, large trading pairs, and guaranteed counterparty trust — all hard to achieve. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView

An analyst has pointed out how a Dogecoin breakout could be coming, based on this technical pattern that the asset has followed over the years. Dogecoin Is Currently Inside Accumulation Zone Of Long-Term Channel In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about how Dogecoin is still in the accumulation phase of a technical analysis (TA) channel. The pattern in question is an “Ascending Channel,” a type of Parallel Channel. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks $119,000: Analyst Says $139,000 Could Be Next Parallel Channels form when the price of an asset travels between two parallel trendlines. There are a few different variations of the pattern, depending on how the trendlines are oriented with respect to the chart axes. The Ascending Channel, the type that’s of interest in the context of the current discussion, involves trendlines that are sloped upward. That is, these channels correspond to a phase of upward consolidation in an asset’s price. The upper line of the pattern tends to be a source of resistance, while the lower one is a source of support. Either of these levels not holding up can imply a continuation of the trend in that direction. This means that a surge above the channel could signal a bullish breakout, while a fall below it may lead to bearish action. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Ascending Channel that the 1-week price of Dogecoin has followed over the past decade: As displayed in the above graph, Dogecoin slipped below the support line of the Ascending Channel earlier in the year. This fall, however, didn’t immediately confirm a bearish breakdown, as the memecoin has seen a few instances over its history where temporary declines below the line have taken place. During each of them, the coin ended up finding support in a zone bounded by the channel’s lower level and another parallel support line just some distance below. From the chart, it’s visible that this same pattern could be playing out once more, as the asset has stabilized since entering this historical “accumulation” phase. For now, the coin is still trading inside this zone, but a surge back into the Ascending Channel could eventually arrive, if the past pattern is anything to go by. Each of the previous returns into the channel led to notable gains for Dogecoin. “The breakout is coming,” says the analyst. “Stay alert!” Related Reading: Bitcoin Short-Term Holder RVT Nears Cycle Lows: A Healthy Reset? Another altcoin, Chainlink (LINK), has also been following an Ascending Channel recently, as Martinez has pointed out in another X post. As is visible in the chart, Chainlink’s 3-day price is currently trading near the mid-line of its multi-year long Ascending Channel. The analyst believes a surge to $47 could be next for the coin, corresponding to the upper line of the pattern. DOGE Price At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading around $0.255, up more than 13% over the last week. Featured image from Dall-E, charts from TradingView.com
XRP may be entering its most consequential window of the cycle, according to crypto analyst Cryptoinsightuk, who argues a cluster of momentum, liquidity, and structure signals now favors a powerful advance—potentially extending into triple-digit percentage gains if key levels fall in sequence. “This is the time,” he said in a video published today, adding that the three-day relative strength index (RSI) and cross-asset ratio charts are lining up in a way that historically preceded outsized upside for XRP. The analyst begins with a quick framing of Bitcoin, noting that the market sits at a psychologically charged inflection just below all-time highs. He characterizes this zone as the “best risk-reward area to take a short,” not as a trend call but as a hedge for portfolios given proximity to prior peaks and well-defined invalidation. “I’m bullish, but I am cautious at $106,000,” he reiterated, referring to a visible liquidity pocket that he continues to flag as a magnet for price probes. He emphasizes his stance has been consistent: fully exposed on spot, cautious on leverage near resistance, and mindful of how quickly sentiment can flip when price revisits extremes. XRP Price Could Rip 400% XRP is the focus. On lower time frames, he sees open interest rebuilding and liquidity clustering overhead—most notably around the $3.40–$3.45 region—with thinner, newer pools below near $2.66 and $2.55. In his read, this is typical when an upside move begins to organize: resting liquidity accumulates above recent highs while late shorts leave footprints below. Related Reading: XRP Price Crash To $2.33 Is Still Possible In This Scenario, Here’s Why On the daily, he identifies additional liquidity density around $2.11–$2.40, but stresses that the stack above is far larger, with a notable band between roughly $4.02 and $4.25 and intermediate reference points near $4.10. “The times when we’ve had big dense areas of liquidity like this… we run into that area, we struggled in it, and then boom—when we do break out higher, we’ve ripped,” he said. He points back to the earlier breakout from the $0.50s, where a similar pattern of layered overhead liquidity resolved into a multi-week melt-up. The near-term momentum tell, in his view, is the three-day RSI crossing up from below 50—something he says closes today and has historically mattered for XRP. He logged three recent instances. The first preceded the move from roughly $0.50 to $2.70, a run he pegs at approximately 400% from mid-range to peak. The second produced a smaller, but still notable, ~27% advance. The third, in late June, was followed by a ~68% climb. “The minimum push… was 27%,” he said, arguing that even a conservative replay would take XRP “just above this high that we’ve recently set,” while the upper bound of historical outcomes opens the door to far higher prints. “If we do madness… 470% would take us to $17 right now. Bring your emotions back in check,” he cautioned, underscoring that these are scenario brackets, not guarantees. Different Price Scenarios From there, he moves into structure. On the daily chart he sketches a still-valid five-wave advance, with the present upswing acting as wave three of a larger third. Using Fibonacci extensions anchored to the last impulsive leg, his 4.236 projection lands around the $6.50–$6.80 zone, with one read producing ~$6.79 and another shorter-range draw yielding about $4.78. Related Reading: Ex-Ripple Dev Explains Why XRP Is 10x The Value Of LINK He notes that prior extensions overshot by roughly 20%, which—if repeated—would imply a spike toward the “$8.20 region” before a sharper corrective reset and a subsequent fifth-wave push. To unlock those paths, he wants to see a series of higher-time-frame closes reclaiming major retracement thresholds: “A daily close above $3.20 would be great. If we start closing above $3.36–$3.43, we’re on for that $6.80 price target, especially if we can get the close above $3.65.” Market-wide context could help. XRP dominance has broken its range and is building what he calls a bull-flag pattern on the three-day. The last confirmed three-day RSI bullish cross in XRP dominance marked the start of major upside phases; another cross now would, in his words, be “the time. Meanwhile, Bitcoin dominance is flirting with a bearish rollover on the daily, complete with divergences near resistance. A renewed bleed in BTC dominance would mechanically free up relative performance for large-cap alts; in his ideal scenario, Bitcoin grinds higher toward or through the highs while XRP “just runs faster.” At press time, XRP traded at $3.0246.

The vision of Bitcoin absorbing the world’s entire capital float is a compelling narrative, yet it runs headlong into a significant technical constraint. Bitcoin will not realize this massive potential unless mechanisms are created to move and utilize capital directly on its network. Why Bitcoin Can’t Absorb Global Wealth Overnight Analyst BRITISH HODL presents a powerful thesis on BTC’s role, arguing that its impact extends far beyond its own valuation, fundamentally changing how global capital is allocated. In an X post, BRITISH HODL stated that while BTC aims to absorb global capital, this is conditional, and BTC will not capture all of the capital flow on earth unless it is redirected onto the BTC network. Related Reading: No Accident: The Powerful Factors Behind Bitcoin’s Late-September Rally However, as BTC becomes more widely understood, capital will become extremely sensitive, and only the highest quality equities will attract capital. This is simply an existing, long-term trend, evidenced by the dominance of a select few, such as the Magnificent Seven (Mag7) stocks in traditional markets over the last 30 years. Bitcoin intensifies this trend because it provides a highly accessible and transparent standard for risk-free returns. As the risk hurdle rate increases, investors are no longer satisfied with marginal gains from poor-quality assets. The consequence of this will be a significant market cleaning and a lot of concentrated value-creating innovation as companies are forced to deliver exceptional performance to earn capital. Meanwhile, there will be a very fast turnover of terrible companies as BTC’s value proposition becomes increasingly understood by investors. BRITISH HODL makes it clear that in a BTC-dominant era, you must outperform BTC on a risk-adjusted basis to capture any capital. The Growing View Of Bitcoin As An Alternative Money Billionaire investor Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, maintains a balanced yet skeptical view of Bitcoin, acknowledging its growing influence while pointing out fundamental flaws that will prevent its ultimate adoption by nation-states. Related Reading: Bitcoin Adoption Expands As Ohio Approves Vendor For State Cryptocurrency Payments Dalio starts by stating that while he can’t say exactly how effective BTC is as a money, the fact that it’s being perceived by many as an alternative money is worth paying attention to. He frames the utility of any currency as both a medium of exchange and a store of wealth, emphasizing that the latter is more important. Despite its revolutionary technology, Dalio highly doubts that any central bank will take it on as a reserve currency. However, since all of the transactions are public, there is no privacy, which is unacceptable for sovereign entities managing vast financial operations. As a result of the risk in the future, the code could be broken to make it less effective through government controls. The expert confirms that he does have some BTC in his portfolio, though not a significant amount. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

According to on-chain metrics, BNB climbed to a record high of $1,111 and traded around $1,110 after an 8% jump in the past 24 hours. Related Reading: Fast And Furious: XRP’s Next Rally Predicted To Shock Markets Data shows nearly $400 million in positions were liquidated across the BNB market in the last day, with close to $270 million of that coming from short positions and $127 million from long positions. Liquidations And Short Squeeze The heavy liquidation figure points to a sharp and fast move that forced leveraged traders out of the market. Short sellers bore the brunt, which helps explain the sudden surge. Rapid liquidations can push a price higher quickly, and that kind of move often brings extra volatility right after the spike. The token has gained 17% over the last seven days and has doubled in value over the past 12 months. Reports have disclosed that trading activity now dominates BNB Chain, and such sudden flows often feed momentum traders and bots. ATH szn in full swing ???? 1 BNB = $1111 pic.twitter.com/69l8eEPgY3 — BNB Chain (@BNBCHAIN) October 3, 2025 Macro Signals And Rate Expectations Based on market coverage, broader market forces have also been at play. An unexpected ADP payroll print showed a decline of 32,000 jobs in September versus forecasts calling for a 50,000 gain. Official US employment data took a timeout amid stoppage of government functions, leaving traders to weigh partial signals. The CME FedWatch tool put the odds at about 97% for a 25 bps rate cut at the October 29 Fed meeting, and it flagged another potential cut at the December 10 meeting. Those shifting rate expectations appear to have pushed some investors toward assets like gold and cryptocurrencies. Network Changes And Fee Cuts BNB Chain’s own moves helped the rally. Validators cut the minimum gas fee from 0.1 Gwei to 0.05 Gwei earlier this week, following prior reductions that moved fees from 3 Gwei to 1 Gwei in April 2024 and then to 0.1 Gwei in May 2025. Block intervals were tightened from 750 milliseconds to 450 milliseconds, and proposals now aim for per-transaction fees near $0.005 with a longer-term target of $0.001. Today, all BNB Smart Chain (BSC) validators and builders have adopted the new minimum gas price of 0.05 Gwei and BSC is fully ready to accept transactions at this rate. That’s ~$0.005 per transaction, making BSC one of the most cost-efficient blockchains in crypto.

A new technical analysis is suggesting that Dogecoin’s current rally may still have room to grow. According to crypto analyst Kevin, the historical risk levels that usually mark cycle tops are currently nowhere near flashing red for Dogecoin. Chart analysis of Dogecoin’s historical risk levels shows that the meme coin is still sitting in what looks like a mid-cycle phase, and the kind of overheated price action that preceeds exhaustion has not yet appeared. Dogecoin Historical Risk Levels Point To More Upside Kevin’s latest post on the social media platform X showcased Dogecoin’s historical risk levels in a color-coded chart between 0 and 1, with 0 being the lowest risk and 1 being the highest risk. The chart, which covers many cycles going as far back as 2014, shows moments when risk was at extreme levels and prices were near exhaustion. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts What Dogecoin Investors Should Expect Price-Wise This Month Periods of high market exhaustions are classified in warm colors, with red being the highest. For instance, Dogecoin’s all-time high in 2021 was classified by a red risk level. On the other hand, those of low market activity are classified in cool colors, with deep blue being the lowest level of activity. The current reading of 0.52 is far from those red danger zones, which have historically aligned with blow-off tops. Instead, Dogecoin is currently in what Kevin describes as a mid-cycle state. That assessment aligns with the latest price action, which shows Dogecoin now holding above $0.25 after last week’s consolidation between $0.22 and $0.23. Dogecoin’s Biggest Move Still Ahead? With the latest Dogecoin risk level sitting at around 0.52, this suggests that Dogecoin has not yet entered the type of frenzy that often defines the final phase of a cycle. Therefore, it means that the king of meme coin still has a lot of rally to play out, and there’s the possibility of charting a path to a new all-time high if crypto market conditions provide the right backdrop. We have not had that type of price action yet this cycle. Related Reading: Analyst Forecasts Dogecoin Price To See Face-Melting Rally: The Bullish Pattern That Suggests New Highs Kevin’s latest update builds on observations he made earlier in August, where he noted the importance of monthly Stoch RSI crosses during bull market environments. Whenever Dogecoin registered such crosses outside of bear markets, the result was a massive upside rally. At that time, the Stoch RSI was climbing from the 13 level, and this is associated with weak momentum turning into strength. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.2554, meaning it is up by about 12.5% in the past 24 hours. Given the current setup and the possibility of a Spot Dogecoin ETF hitting the US market soon, it is reasonable to expect that Dogecoin could climb much higher before it enters the overheated territory. In this case, hitting the $1 price level is not out of the question. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

BNB has cleared the $1,050 mark with a strong cup-and-handle breakout, putting bulls firmly in the driver’s seat. The next big question: can momentum carry the token toward the $1,100 target? BNB Breaks $1,050, Extending September Momentum Crypto analyst Cipher X, in a recent update, emphasized that BNB has officially broken through the $1,050 mark, locking in yet another key milestone following its impressive September rally. The surge has not only reaffirmed the strong bullish momentum behind the asset but also positioned it as one of the standout performers in the market. Related Reading: BNB Eyes New Highs As Price Reclaims $1,000 – Is A 30% Rally Coming? Looking ahead, Cipher X pointed out that the next major focus lies on the $1,100 resistance zone. A decisive breakout above this point could pave the way for even greater upside into Q4, strengthening the narrative of BNB entering a new leg of its rally. With market sentiment leaning positive, the price action over the coming days will be crucial in confirming whether the momentum can move forward without major setbacks. On the flip side, support remains well-established around $1,000 and $900, levels that provide a strong safety cushion for bulls should the market experience a pullback. These zones have historically held firm and could act as reliable springboards for fresh upward moves. For now, the balance of power is clearly with the buyers, and unless unexpected volatility disrupts the trend, BNB seems poised to continue pressing higher into the new quarter. Cup and Handle Formation Signals Strength Earlier, market analyst Kamran Asghar highlighted a notable setup forming on the BNB 4-hour chart in a post on X. He observed that BNB was developing a classic Cup and Handle formation, a technical pattern often associated with bullish continuation and breakout potential. Such a setup, when confirmed, tends to signal that the market has been consolidating before building enough momentum to push higher. Related Reading: BNB Price Holds Its Uptrend – Key Levels That Could Trigger More Gains Asghar stressed that the key level to watch is the $1,030 neckline resistance, which acts as the ceiling for the token’s upward momentum. A clean breakout and strong close above this resistance would validate the pattern and likely invite additional buying pressure. Should the breakout succeed, Asghar projected that BNB could quickly extend toward the $1,100+ region, opening doors for even larger gains if bullish sentiment sustains. However, until that confirmation arrives, he advised caution, noting that any failure to overcome the neckline might trigger short-term pullbacks as the asset consolidates further. This makes the coming sessions crucial in determining the altcoin’s next directional move. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
