THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Crypto pundit Ash Crypto has drawn attention to speculations about how institutions could be crashing the Bitcoin price on purpose. This comes as the Bitcoin ETFs continue to record massive outflows, which have caused this latest decline for the leading crypto.  Pundit Highlights Speculations Of Institutions Purposely Crashing Bitcoin Price In an X post, Ash Crypto claimed there were rumors that institutions are purposely crashing the Bitcoin price so they can buy at lower prices before the Clarity Act is signed into law. The pundit noted that a similar pattern had played out in August 2022, when BlackRock filed for a private Bitcoin trust, and BTC later dropped about 36% before forming a bottom.  Related Reading: What To Expect For The Bitcoin Price By EOY 2026 Following that, BlackRock then filed for a spot Bitcoin ETF, and the Bitcoin price later surged by 95%. Ash Crypto noted that BTC hit a new high in January 2024, when spot ETFs were approved. He added that insider institutions are repeating the same strategy with the Clarity Act narrative.  The Bitcoin ETFs have largely contributed to the decline in the Bitcoin price, with these funds recording outflows in 13 out of the last 14 trading days. During this period, their total net assets have dropped from around $104 billion to $82 billion. Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor also cited these outflows in his comments on the BTC crash.  In an X post, Saylor said that the capital markets are funding the AI buildout at a historic scale, with $400 billion deployed over six months, while BTC ETFs have seen $4 billion in outflows since May 14, pressuring the Bitcoin price. He declared that this is a capital rotation, not a BTC impairment, while adding that volatility creates opportunity.  BTC Simply Following The Four-Year Cycle Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen has reiterated that the Bitcoin price is simply following the four-year cycle. He also mentioned that the bull case for BTC is that if the economy is still doing well after the four-cycle low is put in, then it should have no problem starting its next bull market. Based on historical trends, the bear cycle low could happen by the fourth quarter of this year.  Related Reading: Has The Bitcoin Crash Ended After Falling Below $70,000? Meanwhile, Cowen noted that midterm years always feel really bad for crypto, and that this one is even worse, since the Bitcoin price topped on apathy. He opined that Bitcoin will survive, although many crypto assets may die out. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez warned that BTC is not looking good at the moment and that the leading crypto could drop to the next major area of support between $54,000 and $50,000.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $63,100, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

After hitting its cycle high last August, the Cardano price has continued in a downward slope toward lows not seen since 2024. Despite the calls of an altseason early into May, the ADA token has erased all the gains realized at the beginning of the month. Interestingly, the current Cardano price structure suggests the altcoin may be at risk of further downside in the coming months if it closes below a significant support level in May. ADA Price Could Fall 78% If This Support Is Broken In a May 30th post on the X platform, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that the Cardano price has been hovering around a make-or-break level over the past couple of weeks. Looking at the highlighted monthly chart, the altcoin is at risk of closing the month of May below a major historical support level. Related Reading: Can Ripple’s Fed Master Account Approval Trigger A New XRP Bull Run? AI Model Says $80 Is Possible As shown in the chart below, the Cardano price has been trending within a multi-year channel formation since 2021. After reaching the upper boundary of the channel at $1.195 in early 2025, the cryptocurrency’s price has been in a steady decline, losing a significant support level around $0.544 last November. Now, as Martinez identified, the next definitive floor in sight for the Cardano price is around $0.247, which has acted as major support in the past. In fact, this support level kick-started the last rally that saw the price of ADA reach $1.195. However, the Cardano price has drifted beneath this support level over the past few days, falling to as low as $0.232. With the end of May rapidly approaching, it would be interesting to see whether the ADA candlestick eventually closes below the $0.247 floor over the next day. Martinez wrote in the X post: As the monthly close approaches, maintaining a position below $0.247 alters the immediate market structure, suggesting a deeper valuation phase is underway. According to the crypto analyst, if the Cardano price sustains its close beneath this historical support level, the next “high-conviction macro targets for long-term accumulation” lie around $0.113 and $0.051. Essentially, investors could see the price drop by nearly 78% (from the current price point) if ADA remains below $0.247. However, it is worth noting that the altcoin could bounce back to around $0.544 if this major channel support holds and demand returns to the crypto market. Cardano Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of ADA stands at around $0.237, reflecting an over 2% jump in the past 24 hours. Related Reading: Could XRP Hit $10 This Bull Run?

Data from CoinMarketCap shows that Solana (SOL) has registered no significant net price change in the last month. However, daily price analysis shows that the prominent altcoin reached a local peak near $97 in early May before entering its current downtrend. Presently, the Solana market is dominated by bearish sentiment, alongside the broader market, as indicated by its weekly price loss of 4.09%. In an X post on May 30, renowned market analyst Ali Martinez shares a key insight on the Solana market, highlighting a horizontal channel formation on the daily chart. For context, the horizontal channel is formed by two flat, parallel lines that act as support and resistance, within which the price moves sideways. It is usually indicative of a market in consolidation, where a breakout above resistance (the upper boundary) is a bullish signal, and a breakdown below support (the lower boundary) is a bearish signal. Related Reading: Solana Clings To Critical Multi-Year Support As Breakout Pressure Builds Solana Near Pivotal Price Point: Will Market Climb To $87 Or Retract To $58? According to Martinez’s analysis, Solana has remained within its current horizontal channel since early February. During this time, the altcoin has consistently established its resistance around $97.79, following two retests in March and April. Meanwhile, the channel’s support lies around a critical $78.17 level, driven by price visits in February and April.   Following the recent price rejection at the upper boundary in May, Solana is headed for its usual support at $78.17, with present prices hovering around $83. Martinez explains that market bulls must ensure the common support line holds to preserve the range-bound structure. In this case, a bullish scenario would be a successful retest of $78.17, with price then returning to the mid-range of the horizontal channel at $87. On the other hand, a negative case would be a breakdown below the highlighted support level. Martinez explains that such a development would expose Solana to further downside, with an immediate target of $58, representing a potential 30% loss at current market prices.

Meanwhile, the daily trading volume is down 33% to $2.22 billion. These metrics suggest that a non-eventful market, driven by a decline in participation and transaction count. Notably, data from SoSoValue show that US SOL Spot ETFs have maintained a net weekly positive performance for the fourth consecutive week. However, net inflows have trended downward since peaking at $58.12 million in the second week of May. These figures reached $2.36 million in the fourth week of May, representing a 84% decline from the $15.63 million recorded in the third week. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview

A recent surge in XRP Ledger (XRPL) payment counts has caught the attention of the broader crypto market, raising questions about what could be driving this massive rally. The latest milestone comes after XRP saw renewed whale accumulation even as prices continued to trend downward amid rising volatility.  XRP Ledger Records Mysterious Surge In Payment Count Data from XRP’s leading blockchain explorer, XRPScan, shows that on May 19, the number of XRP payments from one account to another was sitting around just 766,051. However, over the next few days, the payment count rose sharply, surpassing 1.22 million on May 22, representing a more than 300,000 increase in users.  Related Reading: Market Expert Updates XRP Roadmap To $300 With New Data Before this surge, the payment count from one account to another consistently ranged between 700,000 and 800,000, making the latest rally a bit unnatural. Interestingly, XRP Ledger payment volume during the same period saw only a modest change. On May 19, volume stood at approximately 434.9 million, edging up to 486.2 million on May 22, reflecting a minor rise of just over 51 million, which hardly mirrors the dramatic spike in user accounts.  Given the recent decline in the XRP price and the prolonged sideways movement, the unexpected surge in user count on the ledger is suspicious. It begs the question of where these users came from and, more importantly, why they arrived at a time when market enthusiasm appears muted. Typically, when a cryptocurrency’s user count increases as price declines, it suggests two things: either genuine accumulation by XRP holders or a coordinated wallet activity.  Notably, Nepetia, an XRP supporter who also noticed the unusual surge in payment count, has shared comments on it. In a May 24 X post, she stated that even as the market continues pulling back, XRP’s payment count and volume continue to rise, indicating underlying strength.  Nepetia said that whales have also accumulated over 71 million XRP in just seven days while Spot XRP ETFs continue to post positive inflows. Against this backdrop, she noted that these recent developments are important market signals suggesting the XRP price may be preparing for a sharp move. XRP Whales Step Back From Accumulating XRP Whales had been actively buying tokens over the past few months. However, the latest report from crypto analyst Ali Martinez reveals that in the last nine days, whale activity on the XRP Ledger has dropped from 157 large transactions worth over $1 million to just 67, as of May 23. He noted that this gap represents a decline of more than 57.3% in whale activity. Related Reading: XRP OI Z-Score Just Dropped To Levels Seen Before Its 600% Rally In 2024 Interpreting the movements, Martinez explained that when large-scale transaction volume decreases by this magnitude, it suggests that the market could be entering a major compression phase. He noted that whales appear to have stepped back from accumulating, allowing the current XRP price range, between $1.3 and $1.4, to settle. He stated that this shift naturally reduces immediate volatility and allows order books to mature. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Dogecoin’s price action looks bare on the surface, but the wallets that often matter most are making interesting moves. Notably, on-chain data shows that large DOGE holders have returned to accumulation at a time when the meme coin is trading below its most important technical price zones of the year. Dogecoin Whales Are Buying Into Weakness DOGE has spent much of 2026 under pressure, with rallies repeatedly struggling to turn into upside above $0.10. That has made whale behavior more important because large holders tend to accumulate during periods when smaller traders are either selling, waiting, or losing interest. Related Reading: Dogecoin Adoption Is Back In The Cards, But Why Is DOGE Price Still Crashing? On-chain data tracked by crypto analyst Ali Martinez and sourced from Santiment shows that large DOGE holders purchased more than 525 million tokens in a 96-hour window. At the time the accumulation was recorded, Dogecoin’s price action was locked in a tight squeeze directly below the 200-day moving average, a long-term trend line currently around $0.12. For context, that level has acted as a ceiling for most of 2026. Interestingly, the 525 million DOGE purchase reported by Ali Martinez is especially notable because it happened within only four days. This shows that large wallets were actively absorbing supply during a compressed trading window. This kind of buying can reduce immediate sell pressure on Dogecoin.  Another interesting thing is that the large wallet inflows do not appear to be coming from Spot Dogecoin ETFs. These funds have recorded only $860,960 in inflows over the past week, a relatively small figure compared to the whale accumulation. Based on Dogecoin’s current price, the 525 million DOGE bought by large holders is worth more than $52 million. The 200-Day Moving Average DOGE Must Beat The main technical issue for Dogecoin is the 200-day moving average. At the time of writing, Dogecoin’s 200-day MA is at $0.12. Dogecoin is also trading at $0.1025, which places it just 15% below the moving average. Related Reading: How To Time The Dogecoin Bottom And When The Price Will Reach $2 A Dogecoin price breakout above the 200-day moving average would give bulls their first major technical confirmation in months. It would show that the whale accumulation is starting to affect the chart, and it could also force short-term traders to reassess Dogecoin’s position. According to a crypto analyst that goes by the name Cryptollica on X, Dogecoin is now facing a kind of opportunity that has appeared only a handful of times in the last 12 years, pointing to previous cycle bottoms in 2015, 2020, and 2022. In each case, DOGE spent a long period looking inactive. As it stands, the Dogecoin Cycle Score has dropped back to the rebuild zone, which is a level that has always appeared when attention to the meme coin is very low. All that needs to happen now is for Dogecoin to break above the 200 MA, and a rally could start to make sense. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Over the last week, the XRP market endured a dominantly bearish mood. During this time, the altcoin’s price declined by more than 5% amid general market struggles. A broader overview shows that XRP has remained range-bound between $1.29 and $1.55, with this range stretching back to February. However, recent technical developments on the daily chart pattern indicate an impending market sell-off to end this month-long consolidation and establish a deeper decline in this bear market. Related Reading: Analyst Highlights Ethereum ‘Kill Zone’ That Shows The Best Time To Buy XRP Break Below Symmetrical Triangle Tips Short-Term Loss In trading analysis, a symmetrical triangle is created when the price forms a series of lower highs (descending resistance line) and higher lows (ascending support line). These two trendlines converge, forming a triangle. This chart formation usually represents indecision and compression in the market, as buyers are stepping in earlier each time (higher lows) and sellers are stepping in sooner each time (lower highs). In an X post on May 23, Ali Martinez shares that XRP has broken out of a symmetrical triangle on its daily chart. The altcoin recently breached the rising trend line of this chart formation, which started in January. This means XRP is now below a key support level and is exposed to deeper downside targets. According to the seasoned analyst, an acceleration in selling pressure would likely pull XRP down to around $1.14, i.e., a 16.17% loss from current market prices.   Related Reading: Dogecoin Mirrors Previous Mega Bull Trend — Is Another Parabolic Rally Next? XRP Market Glance – Whales Step Out Interestingly, the loss in XRP’s price and its latest bearish signal coincide with another concerning development. Martinez reports in a separate post that XRP whale activity is presently registering a major decline. In the last nine days, the number of large transactions (i.e., transactions over $1 million) has dropped from 157 to 67, representing a 57.3% loss. The analyst explains that such events usually mean that whales are stepping away as the market enters a compression phase expected to be marked by declining volatility. During this time, the current price range becomes accepted value as the market build support & resistance clarity. In addition, there would be an uptick in limit order activity, with liquidity deepening on both sides to eventually form a mature order book. However, compressions always result in expansion, the direction of which hinges on liquidity and whether these whales return as buyers or sellers. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $1.35 reflecting a gain of 1.1% in the last day. Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume is up 4.23% and valued at $1.96 billion.

Crypto analyst Phila has predicted that the Bitcoin price could see a massive decline to $55,000 after breaking a 14-year support level. This comes amid BTC’s fall below the psychological $80,000 level, with the leading crypto now at risk of dropping to new lows.  Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Price Drop To $55,000 Amid Breakdown In an X post, Phila stated that the Bitcoin price just broke a support level that has held for 14 years, noting that it had held in previous bear cycles. The analyst further remarked that this is not a dip, a correction, or a shakeout, but rather capitulation happening in real time. His accompanying chart showed that the leading crypto could drop to around $55,000 following the breakdown below the key support level.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Playing Out The ‘Fakeout Theory’ Again, Here’s What To Expect Meanwhile, the analyst highlighted his track record, noting that he called the $16,000 bottom in 2022 and the top for the Bitcoin price in October 2025. As such, he suggested that market participants should prepare accordingly, as his prediction of a decline to $55,000 is likely to happen.  In another X post, Phila stated that the Bitcoin price action was mirroring the 2021 price action, with the double top, lower highs, and lower lows. He noted that there was also a relief rally in 2021 that felt like the bottom, but it wasn’t the bottom, and everyone who bought BTC before the rally saw losses on the next leg down.  Similarly, the Bitcoin price is once again in a relief rally phase, with many market participants believing that the February 2026 low of $60,000 was the bottom. He added that many think that the worst is over, but that $50,000 is on the table and that his fractal hasn’t missed a single step yet.  The Key Level To Watch For Now Crypto analyst Ali Martinez said that $77,800 is the key level to watch for the Bitcoin price at the moment. This came as he alluded to a well-defined channel that has developed on the lower timeframes and that BTC has climbed to test the upper boundary of this structure around $77,800.  Related Reading: What’s The Latest With The US-Iran War And How Does It Affect Bitcoin? The analyst further predicted that a flip of this level into support could clear the path for the Bitcoin price to rally to around $79,000. However, if BTC fails to break above this level, then it could see a healthy retracement back into the channel to gather liquidity. Martinez added that the key levels to watch for a bounce are the mid-range at $76,900 and the channel bottom at $76,000.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $77,500, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The Solana price has struggled to shake off its early-year woes despite a slightly improved general market climate in recent weeks. After falling from a nearly $150 valuation in the first quarter of 2026, the altcoin has been stuck within a consolidation range between $75 and $100 over the past few months. The upper boundary of this consolidation zone proved formidable after the Solana price failed to fully capitalize on the injection of bullish momentum (triggered by news of the CLARITY Act passing the US Senate banking committee). A popular market analyst on the social media platform X has identified this specific resistance level and what lies on the other side for Solana. A Break Above $98 Could Mean A Sustained Rally For SOL Price In a recent post on the X platform, crypto pundit Ali Martinez pinpointed $98 as the level to break for the Solana price to reach its upside potential. According to the analyst, the cryptocurrency could embark on an approximately 30% rally if it sustains a break above this overhead resistance. Related Reading: XRP Leads Massive Crypto Rally As Traders Bet Big On US Regulatory Shift Martinez highlighted that the SOL token has been trading within a “well-defined” horizontal channel, with the lower and upper boundaries at $78 and $98, respectively. As a result of the CLARITY Act-induced market-wide rally, Solana’s price enjoyed some bullish momentum, only to be quickly truncated by the $98 ceiling. Having bounced back from this rejection around the pivot point at $88, Martinez believes the altcoin could be returning to the channel ceiling for another breakout attempt. The crypto trader noted that if the price of Solana does manage to break and close above the $98 (on the daily timeframe), investors could see a surge toward $107. However, that is only an immediate target, as Martinez believes the Solana price could travel further up towards its secondary target at $117. As hinted earlier, this secondary target represents a more than 30% uptick from the current price point. At the same time, Martinez offered an alternative scenario where the $98 resistance refuses to give way. According to the market analyst, the price of Solana could experience a pullback to the $88 pivot point  — or even to as low as the channel floor at $78 — if the resistance continues to hold strong. In any case, the general market condition would need to improve if the altcoin is to enjoy sustained upside, especially given how sensitive financial markets have been to broader market dynamics in 2026. Solana Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of SOL stands at around $89.33, reflecting an over 3% decline in the past 24 hours.

Crypto analyst Tice has declared that an Ethereum price rally to $4,000 isn’t a moonshot but one that is bound to happen. This came as he revealed that he was accumulating ETH based on the technicals, which point to a buy sentiment.  Analyst Reveals Ethereum Price Rally To $4,000 As A Structural Magnet In an X post, Tice stated that an Ethereum price rally to $4,000 wasn’t a moonshot but a structural magnet. He further remarked that he was loading up on ETH while everyone is giving up. His conviction in ETH is based on the technicals, which point to an imminent rally for the second-largest crypto by market cap.  Related Reading: Ethereum Is Not Dead: Why Market Experts Are Still Predicting A Rise Above $10,000 The analyst noted that ETH’s structure was compressing while liquidity had been flushed. At the same time, the Ethereum price is forming higher lows under maximum doubt, and it is clear that the forced selling has been absorbed. Tice declared that this is not a weakness but the accumulation phase coming to an end, which will then usher in the breakout. Tice also mentioned that the Ethereum price structure has refused to break under this much fear, which points to an imminent violent move to the upside. In another X post, the analyst doubled down on his bullish outlook for ETH. He noted that Ethereum is the most uncomfortable asset to hold right now, but that is exactly why it is going to explode.  He likened the current Ethereum price action to that of Netflix, which he noted spent years in a range and retested the lows six times before seeing a parabolic move to the upside. Tice declared that Ethereum is running the identical playbook, with the same compression, same frustration, and the same crowd walking away. As such, the analyst assured that ETH is not broken but is simply loading for its parabolic move to the upside.  Sell Signal Flashes For ETH On the other hand, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has provided a bearish outlook for Ethereum, noting that a new sell signal has just flashed for ETH. He pointed to the TD Sequential indicator, which he said has been incredibly precise at anticipating ETH trends over the past year. The analyst added that every signal this indicator has flashed on the weekly timeframe has been validated by significant price action.  Related Reading: Ethereum Shortfall Says Price Is Headed Lower Unless This Happens As such, Martinez believes that the Ethereum price is entering another corrective phase with this new sell signal. He highlighted three downside targets if selling pressure accelerates. These targets are $1,900, $1,565, and $1,090, which are the short-term, mid-term, and long-term downside targets, respectively.  At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $2,260, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Max has cited historical data to provide insights into what could be next for Bitcoin, noting that it has closed two consecutive monthly candles in the green. Based on this historical data, BTC may be heading for a red month, except if this bear cycle turns out to be different.  Bitcoin Expected To Close This Month In The Red After Two Monthly Green Candles In an X post, Max stated that there has never been a bear market where Bitcoin printed more than two consecutive monthly candles. He noted that BTC closed March and April in the green, with gains of 2% and 12%, respectively. As such, the analyst remarked that this month is likely to close red unless this cycle is different from every previous one. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Exactly When To Sell Bitcoin For The Most Return Max also mentioned that further downside remains, given the higher probability that May is a historically weak month and a large amount of liquidity is sitting below. However, it is worth noting that Bitcoin is already up almost 6% this month, rising to a multi-month high of $81,000 today. This has provided optimism that the bull market may be back with BTC targeting new highs.  The analyst commented on the current Bitcoin price action, indicating that it is still bearish despite the recent rally. He noted that on the first two attempts to break above the $79,000 resistance, a clear rejection followed. Now, on this third attempt, price has managed to break above but quickly lost momentum and closed back below the resistance.  In line with this, Max opined that Bitcoin’s current price action looks like a typical fakeout and liquidity grab. He added that there is a high chance BTC will sweep the untouched lows next if price continues to find acceptance below $79,000. How BTC Could Reach $94,000 Crypto analyst Ali Martinez predicted that Bitcoin could reach $94,000 on this rally. He noted that on the daily chart, BTC is approaching the 200 SMA at $83,000, which is the most significant psychological and structural barrier. The analyst added that a clean daily close above this hurdle could clear the path for a macro expansion toward $89,000, with a secondary target at $94,000.  Related Reading: What The Sharp Drop In The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Means For The BTC Price Martinez also noted that Bitcoin continues to show structural strength, with a 15% price increase following a bullish MACD crossover on the weekly chart on April 13. He added that historically, this specific weekly crossover has been a premier signal for defining multi-month trends. Notably, this crossover led to 147%, 75%, and 35% rallies in 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $81,000, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin continues to consolidate within the $78,000 zone, following its net positive performance in April. Having shown key signs of recovery, the leading cryptocurrency is now gathering momentum for its next major price swing. Amid the wait, a pivotal negative trading signal has emerged. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Path To $100K May Happen Before Anyone Understands Why: Analyst TD Sequential Highlights Critical Bitcoin Support In an X post on May 2, seasoned market analyst Ali Martinez postulates that Bitcoin could soon endure another wave of price correction, following the latest TD Sequential data. The maiden cryptocurrency has been a major victim of the market winter, establishing a cycle low of $60,000 and presently trading 37.85% below its all-time high of $126,100. April brought much bullish relief amid this bear market, with prices surging by a net 14%. However, the TD Sequential, a trading indicator largely used to identify potential trend reversals and exhaustion, is backing a resurgence in bearish sentiment. According to Martinez, the TD Sequential is flashing a trend exhaustion signal on the BTCUSDT 3-day chart. Interestingly, this event represents the first bearish shift in the indicator in 2026. The last signal from the TD Sequential came in February – a buy trigger which proved successful, resulting in 32% gain between $60,000 to around $80,000. This latest sell setup anticipates a 1 to 4-candlestick correction on the 3-day timeframe, i.e., a short-term pullback that could unfold over roughly three to 12 days before the broader trend resumes or consolidates. In this respect, Martinez has highlighted $67,500 as an immediate downside target if this negative play unfolds. However, the analyst warns that price momentum may fail to stabilize around this level. In that case, a deeper correction may occur, exposing investors to lower levels around $40,000-$50,000. Martinez also reiterates that Bitcoin’s macro structure remains bullish, and long-term investors should monitor the price action at $67,500 for trend confirmation in either direction. Related Reading: XRP May Outlook: 4 Catalysts, Key Dates, And Critical Price Levels To Watch Bitcoin Market Overview At press time, Bitcoin trades at $78,657, following an immediate retrace after hitting $79,000. The premier cryptocurrency reports a minor 0.68% gain on its daily chart. However, its daily trading volume is down by a staggering 56%, suggesting little market participation behind its most recent gain. On the monthly chart, Bitcoin is up 17.53% owing to its April revival. However, the premier cryptocurrency faces key barriers ahead, such as $80,000, which must be broken to strengthen the case for a bullish recovery. With a market cap of $1.57 trillion, Bitcoin holds 60.4% market dominance and ranks as the 11th-largest asset in the world. Featured image from Vecteezy, chart from Tradingview

Market expert Ali Martinez shared a crucial analysis, indicating that XRP is preparing for a major price breakout, but the swing direction remains unclear. Similar to the broader crypto market, the altcoin posted net gains in April, rising 5%. While a mini-consolidation appears to have set in, Martinez draws attention to a larger picture showing a price momentum that commenced two months ago. Related Reading: If You Hold XRP, Then You Should Be Paying Attention To These Major Developments XRP Symmetrical Triangle Nears End, But What Next? The Symmetrical Triangle is a common chart pattern depicted by two converging trendlines, i.e., descending resistance and ascending support, indicating price compression before a potential breakout. According to Martinez, in a May 1 post, XRP is consolidating within an established symmetrical triangle with origins dating back to around February.   Recent actions and projections show that XRP is nearing the apex of this formation, with each price move adding to compressed price momentum. From the height of the symmetrical triangle, Martinez has also deduced that the resulting price move would be 26%. However, the Symmetrical Triangles are neutral formations with potential to yield a bullish or bearish outcome. Therefore, the analyst warns against trading within the triangle, which ranges from $1.35 support to $1.45 resistance, as it is particularly dangerous due to the high risk of fakeouts. Investors and market participants are advised to wait for a decisive daily close outside the chart formation. In this regard, a close above the $1.45 would confirm bullish intentions, opening the path to the $1.82 price target. Meanwhile, a close below $1.35 would signal that bearish sentiment remains dominant, with prices likely to head to $1.00.

XRP ETF Inflows Close April With Minor $35,000 Loss In other news, data from SoSoValue shows the XRP ETFs registered an uneventful performance as April came to an end. Early inflows of $5.79 million were almost entirely erased by $5.83 million in outflows, leaving a modest net withdrawal of $35,000. This slight downturn snapped the three-week inflow streak seen earlier in the month, which had totaled a combined $82.88 million. According to SoSoValue, the cumulative net inflow into the XRP ETFs is $1.29 billion, while total net assets are $1.06 billion. Meanwhile, the spot market price is trading at $1.38, up 0.95% over the last 24 hours. According to Ali Martinez’s analysis, the short-term price direction remains largely unknown, awaiting a key signal from the symmetrical triangle completion.

Buyers have been quietly stepping in at lower prices every time XRP dips — and that pattern is now drawing attention from traders watching the token closely. Related Reading: Stablecoins Go Institutional As Morgan Stanley Rolls Out New Portfolio Sellers Losing Their Grip XRP has been grinding between $1.37 and $1.45 for days, stuck in a tight range that has produced repeated rejections near the top. But each time the price pulls back, it holds at a higher low than before. That slow climb from the bottom of the range is a classic sign that buying pressure is building. On the hourly chart, the price has compressed into a triangle formation — a structure that typically precedes a sharp move in one direction. Based on reports from market analysts, that move could measure out to roughly 10%, which is the basis of the breakout call drawing attention now. The question is whether buyers have enough strength to push through. So far, they have not. Sellers have defended the $1.45 resistance level multiple times, and the broader trend indicators are still pointing down. A triangle on the $XRP hourly chart suggests a 10% move could be coming soon. pic.twitter.com/leCsnS4Zf1 — Ali Charts (@alicharts) April 24, 2026 The 50-day moving average sits below the 200-day moving average — a setup traders call a death cross, which signals a larger bearish trend. Volume has remained flat, with no major spikes to confirm that either side is gaining control. Mixed Signals On The Charts Not all the data is bearish. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, better known as MACD, flipped bullish in mid-April for the first time since January. That crossover matters because the last time it happened — in early January — XRP rallied 25% to $2.40 within seven trading days. Reports indicate the MACD line had stayed below the signal line for most of 2026, and every prior attempt to flip it had failed. Whale activity has also picked up. On-chain data shows large holders accumulated 360 million XRP tokens over a single week in mid-April. At the same time, spot XRP exchange-traded funds pulled in $55 million during the week ending April 18 — the strongest weekly inflow of the year. Cumulative ETF flows have climbed back to $1.27 billion, with Goldman Sachs holding the largest institutional position among the fund providers.

Legal Clarity Adds To The Setup Part of what makes this moment different from previous consolidation phases is the regulatory backdrop. On March 17, the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission formally classified XRP as a digital commodity rather than a security. That ruling put to rest years of legal disputes that had kept institutional money on the sidelines. Reports note the classification was a turning point for the token’s standing with large investors.

The XRP market has recorded a major positive development, as the SuperTrend flashed its first buy signal on the daily chart in over three months. This event indicates the altcoin’s short-term prospects are looking positive amid the broader market volatility driven by an unstable geopolitical scene. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts X Money Will Send XRP To $10 – But What Will Send It To $1,700? XRP Bulls Set Course For Encounter With $1.55 Barrier In an X post on April 18, renowned analyst Ali Martinez shares a bullish outlook for the XRP market, highlighting the resistance level and a price target. This analysis follows the SuperTrend indicator, which has turned bullish on the XRP daily chart for the first time since Jan 17. The SuperTrend indicator is a trend-following technical analysis tool that helps traders identify the current market direction (an uptrend or a downtrend) and potential entry/exit points. XRP’s last significant and sustained price rally came in early January when the altcoin reached a local peak of $2.42. Since then, prices have traded as low as $1.10 and are presently consolidating between $1.30 – $1.55, in line with broader market movements. However, the recent signal from the SuperTrend indicator suggests this period of sustained selling pressure could have ended. According to Martinez, the trend shift can only be validated if XRP breaks the key price resistance level at $1.55, which has held consistently and effectively in recent weeks. The analyst describes this future encounter as a “true test” of XRP’s bullish intentions, noting that a clear, decisive break above this level should trigger a subsequent relief rally. In this case, the cryptocurrency is tipped to trade as high as $1.90, provided the SuperTrend indicator provides a trailing support floor. Based on present market prices, Martinez’s analysis suggests the XRP market could notch a possible 32% gain in the coming weeks. Related Reading: Ethereum Signals Major Reversal – $2,900 Target Back In Focus XRP Price Overview At the time of writing, XRP trades at $1.43, after prices dipped by 2.43% in the last day. Meanwhile, daily trading volume is down 40.55% to $2.69 billion. XRP’s latest price decline follows instability in the geopolitical landscape tied to the ongoing US-Iran War. The Middle East nation had initially granted commercial ships access to the Strait of Hormuz for the remainder of its ongoing ceasefire with the Western power. However, on Saturday, Iran soon nullified that position, declaring the Strait of Hormuz closed again, citing the US’s continuous blockade of its shipping ports. On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has stated that the US naval blockade must remain in full force until both nations reach an agreement. Global financial markets continue to weather a storm amid these choking geopolitical tensions, especially considering the broader impact of the recent rise in oil and energy prices. Following Iran’s latest announcement, the total crypto market cap is now down 2.00% to $2.56 trillion. Featured image from Flickr, chart from Tradingview

Ethereum (ETH), the world’s largest altcoin, is up by over 3% in the past day, reflecting the current bullish momentum in the cryptocurrency market following the major relief over the US-Iran conflict. Notably, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened to commercial ships for the remainder of the 10-day ceasefire between the warring states.  This positive development soon triggered a drop in oil prices, improving macroeconomic conditions and driving significant inflows into global financial markets, including risk assets such as Ethereum. According to renowned analyst Ali Martinez, Ethereum has benefited significantly from this shift, successfully flipping a key price resistance level during its market recovery. Related Reading: 13 Years Of Data Says Bitcoin Price Has Not Bottomed Yet, Analyst Explains The Trend Ethereum Moves To Validate Major Ascending Triangle Formation An ascending triangle is a bullish chart pattern used in technical analysis that signals a potential continuation of an uptrend. Here, price repeatedly makes higher lows while also repeatedly hitting a horizontal resistance without breaking above it. When the price finally breaks above the resistance level, it often leads to a strong upward move. In an X post on April 17, Ali Martinez explains that Ethereum has broken through the $2,385 critical barrier, which represented the resistance line of a major ascending triangle that has been forming since February. In a previous post on April 14, the seasoned analyst noted that the TD Sequential indicator had issued a sell signal around this level, an event that triggered a price correction when ETH last reached around $2,400, despite positive signs such as the initial reclamation of the 100-day SMA.   However, following the recent gain above this resistance zone, Martinez claims the bearish TD Sequential signal has been nullified, with the altcoin now primed to reach higher targets. With $2,385 now a support level, the analyst explains that Ethereum’s major technical target lies at $2,900. However, immediate resistance lies around $2,721, indicating an additional price surge of at least 12% in the short term. However, Martinez warns that this bullish outlook is only valid as long as Ethereum maintains its new support zone. A retracement below $2,385 would rouse market uncertainty and strengthen bearish sentiments.

Bitcoin traded as high as $73,000 following a 9% price rally in the past week. However, the broader market suggests the leading cryptocurrency is still stuck in a bear phase that’s been dragging on for more than six months. Interestingly, historical data suggest that recent price movement could trigger a significant bullish rebound, providing investors with a mid-term to long-term relief period. Related Reading: Bitcoin On The Brink: One Move Could Trigger A Massive Shift Bitcoin Nears Key Support Level As Bulls Eye Historical Recovery Run In an X post on April 11, renowned analyst Ali Martinez shares a positive observation of the Bitcoin price chart, highlighting a cyclical price rally. Notably, this price surge is triggered by a retest of a particular long-standing ascending trendline during an extended correction period, as is being observed. Martinez names this ascending trendline the “Parabolic Guard,” describing it as probably the most consistent technical level in Bitcoin history. Over the last 10 years, a price retest of this support line has consistently preceded a massive rebound. In 2017, Bitcoin’s contact with this trendline produced a staggering 961% gain in the following months.   A similar event was observed in 2018; however, it resulted in a lower yield of 261%. In 2020, Bitcoin’s retest of the Parabolic Guard triggered 1,126% price increase, before the 2022 bear market commenced. The bullish condition was met again later in 2022, resulting in a 660% gain observed over the last four years.  According to Martinez, the historic ascending trend line currently runs between $56,000 and $60,000, about 20% below the current market price. Interestingly, the present cycle low lies around $60,000, which Bitcoin formed amid an intense market sell-off in early February. According to Martinez’s latest post, the market would likely need a return to this market bottom to end the bear market and initiate a long-term recovery. The prominent analyst also explains that Bitcoin’s contact with the Parabolic Guard would slow smart money’s accumulation in anticipation of the next price surge.

According to CoinCodex data, the overall market sentiment is heavily bearish, while the Fear & Greed Index remains in extreme fear territory.

Crypto analyst Abundance has provided an in-depth analysis of the Dogecoin price action, explaining why the foremost meme coin could still suffer another crash. On the other hand, he also revealed how Bitcoin’s price action could push DOGE higher from its current level. Dogecoin Price Still At Risk Of Crash To $0.06 In an X post, Abundance stated that the Dogecoin price could drop to around $0.06 to give the market another long on DOGE towards $0.16. His accompanying chart showed that $0.9176 is the key support the leading meme coin needs to hold above to avoid dropping to this new low. DOGE also risks dropping to as low as $0.03 it breaks down to $0.06.  Related Reading: What’s The Value Of Dogecoin If It Matches Bitcoin And Ethereum Market Caps? The analyst also noted that the Dogecoin price has, instead of dropping, continued to move sideways, compressing price action. He added that time-cycle lows mark expansion points, not just bottoms. As such, Abundance stated DOGE could see upside from its current levels if the Bitcoin price pushes towards $77,500.  He also pointed to the lower timeframes compared to the multi-timeframes, noting a possible bump-and-run pattern in Dogecoin price action and in many other altcoins, with tight invalidation for a nice risk-to-reward. As such, Abundance suggested that the best approach to the current market conditions was to keep an open mind, as DOGE could rally from current levels rather than drop further.  Commenting on the higher timeframe, Abundance stated that he is still tilting towards a move lower for the Dogecoin price. He remarked that the more upside liquidity left untouched before sweeping downside liquidity, the more fuel there is for a higher-timeframe bullish expansion. The analyst added that May is the next local bottom he is watching for DOGE.  A Demand Zone Between $0.09 and $0.06 Crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed to the fractals for the Dogecoin price, noting that the zone between $0.090 and $0.060 is where he believes that smart money will start accumulating. He added that this is the “coiling” phase that historically happens before the next parabolic move for the foremost meme coin.  Related Reading: Here’s Why The Dogecoin Price Could See Big Gains Soon The analyst previously alluded to DOGE’s monthly chart, highlighting the meme coin’s gains during the previous bull run. He also indicated that the Dogecoin price could bottom between $0.06 and $0.09 as it eyes a parabolic rally above $1 in the next bull run, marking a new all-time high (ATH) for the meme coin. Martinez also predicted that DOGE could reach $10 based on its historical price gains in past cycles.  At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.09297, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Solana (SOL) is flashing warning signs after a sharp rejection at the $92–$94 supply zone halted its recent upside attempt. Momentum has quickly faded, with price now slipping back toward key support levels as sellers tighten their grip. With SOL caught between a weakening structure and critical support below, the risk of a deeper breakdown is growing, making the next move a decisive one for short-term direction. Solana Stuck In A Tight Range As Pressure Builds Ali Martinez highlights that Solana remains stuck within a well-defined consolidation channel, with price action compressing after months of sustained pressure. SOL’s price has now drifted toward the lower boundary of this range, and the next 48 hours could be pivotal in shaping the broader trend for the rest of April. Related Reading: Solana Flashing Mixed Signals: $105 Breakout Or Double-Pair Collapse Ahead? The current channel structure is clearly defined, with resistance sitting at $96.04 and support established at $76.66, while price hovers around $79.11. Trading near support often signals a moment of truth, where either buyers step in to defend the level, or sellers take control and force a breakdown. If the $76.66 support level holds firm, a classic double bottom or channel bounce scenario could emerge. Such a move would likely spark a relief rally, with upside targets at $81.00 and then $85.00, where the 50-day SMA presents a key resistance zone that could slow momentum. On the flip side, a decisive daily close below $76.66 would invalidate the channel structure and confirm bearish pressure. In that case, downside targets come into focus, with a potential drop toward the year-to-date low at $68.54 and possibly even the psychological $50 level. SOL Holds Steady Within Accumulation Range In a recent Solana daily update shared on X, analyst R4 XBT highlighted that the asset remains firmly within an accumulation phase. Despite broader market fluctuations, Solana’s price action is currently being sustained at the 50-day Moving Average (MA50). This specific level is serving as a critical foundation for the current price structure, keeping the long-term bullish thesis intact while the market consolidates. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Momentum Explodes as $100 Barrier Comes Into Focus The current positioning at the MA50 represents a pivotal technical test for the token. Currently, the market is closely watching this zone to determine whether the current accumulation period has sufficient strength to support a successful liftoff. If Solana successfully clears the MA50 resistance, it could signal the end of the consolidation period and a breakout from the accumulation zone. Overcoming this hurdle would likely clear the path for more significant upside potential. Traders are currently seeking a decisive close above this level to confirm that the path for a sustained rally has finally been opened. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

The Bitcoin bear market is now six months in and showing no signs of letting up. During this time, a cycle low of $60,000 was established, preceding the present consolidation action being seen. However, bearish sentiments remain at heightened levels, especially considering the disturbed geopolitical landscape of the past month. While there have been encouraging signs of ongoing institutional accumulation, there are still expectations of a market bottom, which would confirm a bullish trend reversal. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Breakdown To $45,000: The Levels To Watch Out For Next Steps Bitcoin ‘Ultimate Support’ Lies At $47,960 – Analyst In an X post on April 4, renowned analyst Ali Martinez shares a critical insight on the Bitcoin market structure, predicting the macro bottom amid an enduring corrective phase. This analysis is based on the Cumulative Value Days Destroyed (CVDD), an on-chain metric used to estimate Bitcoin’s long-term price floor by measuring the cumulative value of “Coin Days Destroyed” over time. For context, Coin Days Destroyed measures how long coins were held before being spent, with older coins having more coin days destroyed upon any on-chain movement. The cumulative value of the CDD, when adjusted, creates the CVDD that tracks the price level at which long-term holders are likely to distribute their coins, thus forming a macro market bottom. The importance of token distribution by long-term holders comes from the ownership change with new participants, injecting fresh capital. A macro bottom is presumed to be formed at this level because it represents a new cost basis, which the new holders are likely to defend, transforming it into a key support level.   According to Martinez, the present CVDD price floor is at $47,960, which the analyst recognizes as the ultimate support zone. Notably. Bitcoin trades at $66,683, indicating there is still significant room for a downside despite the price dip since the bear market commenced in October 2025. If Bitcoin dips to the CVDD floor, historical data shows consistent proof of a major rebound. Considering this pattern, Martinez refers to this price level ($47,960) as the structural foundation of the Bitcoin market. Related Reading: XRP Has Never Been This Quiet On Binance. Discover If The Silence Is A Warning or a Setup Bitcoin Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $67,279 after a slight increase of 0.69% in the past day and 0.72% in the past week.

Crypto analyst Minga has predicted that the Bitcoin price could rally past $120,000 to a new all-time high (ATH) of $190,000 in the next bull cycle. The analyst also indicated that now is a good time to buy as BTC approaches a bottom.  Analyst Gives Buy Signal as Bitcoin Price Approaches Bottom In an X post, Minga said that the Bitcoin price is approaching a macro bottom and that this is the phase of the cycle where every dip becomes an opportunity to buy and accumulate long-term holdings. The analyst opined that BTC may tap the $58,900 to $54,500 region at a minimum this cycle, and that this area has been a point of interest (POI) for spot buying. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Bleed Is Almost Over, But Will Price Reach $40,000 Before Bouncing? Minga revealed that he still expects a potential move down to $37,000 for the Bitcoin price in a max-pain scenario. However, he noted that the idea behind spot buying is not to go all in at once, but to build positions gradually over time. The analyst had also described a potential drop to $37,000 as a generational bottom, signaling that this is an area to go all in in preparation for the next bull cycle.  Meanwhile, the analyst stated that he will be looking at $194,742 as a potential area to start taking profits and offload a significant portion of his spot holdings. A potential rally to $194,742 would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the Bitcoin price, surpassing its current ATH of $126,000.  Minga also noted that the plans to take profits at this level are just a plan and that his final decision will be based on how the Bitcoin price behaves when it reaches those levels. The Strategic Buy Zone For BTC In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed two primary accumulation zones based on historical 40%-50% resets in past bear markets that occur after the crossover between the 50 and 200 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). The first target is $40,000, representing a standard 30% reset from current levels.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price At $59,000 Is The Line In The Sand, Here’s What You Should Know The second accumulation target is $30,000, representing a 50% decline from current Bitcoin price levels. Martinez stated that this setup has historically aligned with the last major downside before a generational macro bottom forms.  The analyst noted that BTC has already seen a 52% correction and is currently 30 days into the 3-day SMA cross. As such, he remarked that if history rhymes, then BTC is likely entering the final accumulation window of this cycle within the next three to six days.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $66,400, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The Dogecoin team has made an “important” announcement to the community, revealing five developments as they supposedly make a transition. This comes as DOGE attempts to reclaim the psychological $0.10 level with the crypto market rebounding.  Dogecoin Team Drops Important Message To DOGE Community In an X post, the Dogecoin team announced that, effective immediately, they are undergoing a full corporate restructuring and are transitioning to DogeCoin Financial Solutions LLC. As part of this transition, the team will be retiring the Shiba Inu logo in favor of a “tasteful navy blue emblem.” Related Reading: What Does The SpaceX IPO Have To Do With The Dogecoin Price? The team also plans to launch a 67-page whitepaper titled ‘Toward a Synergistic Decentralized Liquidity Framework.’ They will also be rebranding the community from the DOGE Army to stakeholders. Furthermore, the team will discontinue the use of the words ‘wow,’ ‘much,’ and ‘very’ across all communications. Lastly, they plan to schedule the moon for FY26 Q3.  The Dogecoin team also explained that the legal team has advised them not to say ‘wow’ as it has been determined to be a forward-looking statement that should not be taken as financial advice. “We believe this pivot positions DogeCoin Financial Solutions LLC™ for maximum enterprise scalability and shareholder value optimization going forward,” they added.  The message has instantly drawn reactions among members of the Dogecoin community, with many speculating that it is likely an ‘April Fools’ message, indicating that the announcement is likely a joke. BuildrJ, a founding member of DogeOS, also joked that DogeCoin Financial Solutions had engaged in an LOI that underpins a full acquisition of DogeOS and MyDoge. The acquisition also sees the imminent release and transition of MyFoge V3 to an “AI-powered astronomy app.” DOGE Seeing Increased Activity The “important” message from the Dogecoin team comes just as DOGE is seeing increased activity on the network. In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that Dogecoin’s active addresses have surged 28% in the past week, rising from 57,000 to 73,000. The analyst had previously noted that DOGE was consolidating within a descending triangle, suggesting a 29% move could be on the horizon.  Related Reading: Here Are The Main Levels To Watch After Dogecoin Price Completed A Clean Kumo Rejection The Dogecoin price is poised to reclaim the key $0.10 level as tensions between the U.S. and Iran ease. U.S. President Donald Trump recently said that the Iran war could end within the next two to three weeks. Meanwhile, Iran has signaled that it is ready to end the war as long as the U.S. meets its demands. Another positive for DOGE is the imminent launch of X Money, which could eventually move to integrate Dogecoin payments.  At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.09222, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Celal has predicted that the Bitcoin price could hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $145,000. The analyst also provided a timeline for when the leading crypto could hit this milestone.  When The Bitcoin Price Could Hit $145,000 In an X post, Celal stated that the Bitcoin price will rally to $145,000 between October and November. His accompanying chart showed that this rally could happen as BTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) picks up and hits overbought, rising to 90. The chart also suggested that the leading crypto may already be forming a bottom as it eyes this rally to a new ATH.  Related Reading: The Bear Market Divergence That Shows What’s Really Going On With Bitcoin This Bitcoin price prediction comes as BTC continues to struggle to hold above the psychological $70,000 level. The leading crypto is under pressure due to the U.S.-Iran war, with U.S. President Donald Trump threatening to escalate things if Iran doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz.  Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that it is currently a waiting game as the Bitcoin price is at a crossroads. He said that BTC is stuck in a “no-trade zone” and that right now, the area between $70,685 and $65,636 are the most important spot on the chart. The analyst further revealed that over 1.72 million BTC have been transacted around this range, meaning that “buyers and sellers are digging in their heels.” Martinez added that there won’t be a big move for the Bitcoin price until it either breaks above $70,685 or falls below $65,636. Crypto analyst Ardi stated that BTC is still in a bear market and that the rally over the past few weeks was because of short covering. As such, the leading crypto is still at risk of a larger decline.  The Economic Backdrop Is Bad For BTC Crypto analyst Colin stated that the economic backdrop is bad for the Bitcoin price, with oil prices rising and the Fed unlikely to lower rates anytime soon. He also noted that this is bad for BTC, considering that it is further up the risk curve than stocks. Based on this, Colin remarked that an eventual breakdown from the bear flag, which it has been trading inside since February. Related Reading: How Low Can Bitcoin Price Go? Analyst Shares Worst-Case Scenario As such, it is just a matter of how long the Bitcoin price holds on for at this point, the analyst said. He also noted that BTC has been in a bear market since October 5 and is only five months into it. Colin said that this means there is likely further downside since a typical bear market lasts for 12 months.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $68,800, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

A crypto analyst has predicted that Dogecoin’s price action will pump very hard soon if on-chain data is any indication. The meme coin has been trading around $0.10, but a set of network metrics is beginning to provide a constructive outlook.  Despite the lackluster price action, some analysts believe a recovery may be closer than the price chart suggests. These predictions are based on different factors, but one notable one is the increase in the number of active addresses that are interacting with the Dogecoin network. Dogecoin Active Addresses Jump 176% In One Week Recent data from the on-chain analytics platform Santiment points to a significant rise in participation on the Dogecoin network. According to information shared by Ali Martinez, the number of active DOGE addresses increased from 41,557 to 114,662 within the past week, representing a 176% jump. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Can Still Cross $1: Historical Cycle Performance Points To 750% Rally The chart data of active Dogecoin addresses shows that activity increased at the end of the previous week. Earlier readings were around the 40,000 to 70,000 range before an activity run pushed the number of active addresses above 100,000. The final bar on the chart shows the figure reaching above 114,000 addresses, the highest level in months. Active addresses are one of the measures of real network engagement. A rise in this metric usually indicates that more users are sending, receiving, or interacting with the asset. In the case of Dogecoin, which is known for its waves of retail participation, a sudden increase in address activity can be a sign that attention is returning to the meme coin. Commentator Says DOGE Could Pump Hard The jump in network activity quickly led to reactions among market observers. Crypto commentator Myles G. responded to the data by stating that Dogecoin will “pump hard soon,” linking the increase in active addresses to the possibility of a stronger price move ahead. Such reactions are not unusual in crypto markets. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that the analyst would be anticipating a hard pump for the Dogecoin price. Related Reading: Why The Dogecoin EMA Is The Level That Will Determine The Next Price Move Arguably, the most consequential development for the possibility of Dogecoin pumping hard is what appears to be coordinated accumulation by large wallet holders. Another update shared by Ali Martinez adds a different dimension to the recent activity surrounding Dogecoin. According to the analyst, whales purchased approximately 470 million DOGE over the past 72 hours. The chart attached to that post shows the amount of Dogecoin held by large holders climbing from March 12 to March 14. Technical analysis of the Dogecoin price action shows that strength is already building for the meme coin. All it needs is to hold above $0.105 before the end of the week. If history is any precedent, the increase in whale holdings could be the first step in a repricing to the upside. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Over the last day, Bitcoin prices have remained within the $70,000 – $72,000 region, recording no significant movement. This market calmness comes after the premier cryptocurrency’s initial breakout above the $70,000 resistance during the past week, before prices retraced. With Bitcoin now sustaining a price move above the former $70,000 barrier, on-chain data has identified the multiple key levels that deserve investors’ attention in analyzing the next major price move. Related Reading: Bitcoin Probes $73,000 Liquidity Pocket: Is The Next Leg Toward $80,000 Loading? Bitcoin Bulls Eye Return To $95K Region, But Key Resistance Awaits  In an X post on March 14, seasoned analyst Ali Martinez states that Bitcoin confronts a major price barrier at the $73,726 price point, according to data from Glassnode’s MVRV Pricing Bands. For context, these bands represent a common valuation framework derived from the MVRV Ratio, and used to assess whether Bitcoin is undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued relative to the cost basis (realized price) of investors. Notably, Bitcoin presently trades around $71,600 below the -0.5 band, a notable support level in bull markets, that presently aligns with the $73,726 price level. According to Ali Martinez, if Bitcoin can decisively reclaim this level, it would boost bullish sentiments and potentially initiate a price surge to around $95,894, which currently represents the mean band and is considered the fair market value for Bitcoin.     If market demand is sustained, Bitcoin could continuously rise to the +0.5 band at $118,062, which would represent a strong zone for bullish expansion. However, investors should start exhibiting caution once prices reach the +1.0 band at $140,229, which is considered an extreme overvaluation zone. At this point, Bitcoin is considered far above its fair value and realized price, triggering a high possibility of a pullback via profit-taking.  On the other hand, a price rejection at $73,726 could force a price drop to around the realized price at $54,703, representing a potential 25% decline.

On the larger timeframes, weekly and monthly gains of 5.08% and 8.35%, respectively, indicate significant price gains in the last few weeks. Coupled with the revival of the Bitcoin spot ETFs market, the premier cryptocurrency may be gathering momentum for full-scale recovery. But it remains early to tell.

Solana (SOL) may be on the cusp of a major market rally after the SuperTrend indicator turned bullish for the first time in two months. The prominent altcoin has been a major victim of the market downturn, losing over 62% of its value since October 2025. However, recent gains suggest a building momentum for a possible price recovery.

Analyst Reveals How Solana (SOL) Set For Potential Trend Reversal – Analyst In an X post on March 13, market analyst Ali Martinez shared that the SuperTrend indicator was flashing a bullish signal in the Solana market – the first recorded since early January amid prolonged price struggles that stretched to last year.  The SuperTrend indicator is a technical analysis tool used to identify the current market trend, i.e., uptrend or downtrend, and potential buy or sell signals. Martinez’s analysis shows that the ST indicator indicated a sell signal in early February, around when Solana crashed to around $67.     However, SOL soon rallied to eventually settle within a trading range of $76-$90, a consolidatory movement that has lasted over the last four weeks. In particular, Solana has twice recorded a moderate price action above $90 in March, with the most recent one clashing with the buy signal from the Supertrend indicator.  However, it’s worth noting that a bullish signal by the SuperTrend indicator does not guarantee a sustained upward breakout, as the indicator is based on historical price and volatility data and can produce false signals. In the event of a potential breakout, investors can expect an initial price rise to around $103, which represents SOL’s immediate resistance zone, following the extended correction seen in the last few months.

At the time of writing, total net inflow for this week is $3.10 million, representing an 83% decline from the final figures of the previous week.  At the same time, Solana trades at $88.95, reflecting a 2.8% growth in 24 hours, and 11.15% in 30 days. Price gain combined with declining inflows indicates that the recent upward movement may be driven more by spot market demand and broader market sentiment rather than strong institutional capital. Within five months of trading, total cumulative inflows into the Solana Spot ETF now stand at $961.08 million, while total net assets are valued at $824.87 million, i.e., 1.67% of Solana’s market cap. At the time of writing, Solana’s total market value is set at $54.74 billion, allowing the asset rank as the seventh largest cryptocurrency in the market.

Market analyst Ali Martinez highlights a recent development on the Bitcoin 3-day chart with significant bearish implications. The leading cryptocurrency still trades just below the $70,000 mark following the temporary breakout earlier this week. Bitcoin has now spent an overwhelming majority of the last month within the $60,000 – $70,000 price range, after prices crashed to a new market low in late January/early February amid the extended bearish season. Related Reading: Bitcoin May Hit $180,000 This Year, But Only If This Scenario Plays Out: Amber Data Bitcoin Set For Another Leg Down? In an X post on March 6, Martinez shares a key macro insight on the Bitcoin price trajectory, using historical data from the 3-day trading chart. The seasoned analyst explains that the formation of a particular death cross has consistently preceded the final price drawdown in the market cycle. Generally, the death cross represents a bearish technical indicator where a short-term moving average falls below the long-term moving average, indicating that recent price momentum has weakened relative to the longer-term trend, and there is rising selling pressure coupled with a potential prolonged downturn. The common version of the death cross appears when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, and is a key bearish indicator in the Bitcoin market, according to observations shared by Martinez. In 2013, Bitcoin had notably crashed by 72% before the 50/200 SMA death cross appeared. Thereafter, the market leader recorded an additional 52% price fall, before reaching a price bottom. A similar pattern is observed in 2017, when Bitcoin declined by 67% from its market peak before the appearance of the death cross, which triggers an additional 50% crash. For the last market cycle, the 50/200 SMA death cross appeared in May 2022, when Bitcoin was prominently down by 58% from its cycle top. Thereafter, BTC investors would experience another 46% devaluation. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin is presently down by 45.62% from the present cycle high of $126,100 following an extended bearish phase that has lasted since October. Notably, price movement has also minted another death cross on the 3-day chart, indicating a potential major downside could occur based on precedents. In this case, Bitcoin may fall by an additional average 49% to establish a potential bottom around $33,500. However, Martinez warns that this price setup provides no bearish guarantee, but only historical alignment with macro bottom formations.

Following recent positive price action, the maiden cryptocurrency is up by 3.59% on its weekly chart. However, Bitcoin remains far off a bullish turnaround as indicated by current losses of 4.49% on the monthly chart. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview

The Bitcoin market recorded another week of volatile price action, but continues to consolidate a defined range between $60,000 – $70,000.  Bearish sentiments remain at a heightened level, considering the downtrend observed in recent months and the non-confirmation of a cycle bottom.  Notably, recent on-chain data has revealed the importance of a particular support level, which, if breached, could expose investors to steeper downsides and extend the crypto winter. Related Reading: Bitcoin Has Officially Entered Bearish Territory, And It’s Headed To $35,000; Chart Shows URPD Indicator Shows Fragile Market Set-Up – Details In an X post on February 27, market analyst Ali Martinez shared insights from Bitcoin’s UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD), highlighting a thin demand zone below the $63,111 price region. The URPD metric, which tracks how much of the existing Bitcoin supply moved at price levels, shows a significant concentration of coins around the $63,000 range, suggesting strong holder positioning at this level. However, the data also reveals that below $63,111, supply density drops considerably until the next major accumulation cluster at approximately $46,702. This “air pocket” in realized supply indicates that if BTC decisively loses the $63,111 support, price action could accelerate to the downside due to the absence of strong cost-basis support in the interim zone. Beyond $46,702, Martinez identifies $41,653 and $37,867 as additional key support levels, where a notable amount of Bitcoin last changed hands. These levels represent significant holder cost bases and may act as demand zones should bearish pressure intensify. The structure observed on the URPD chart suggests a delicate market set-up, where Bitcoin is currently hovering above a critical support cluster. A breakdown below $63,111 could trigger renewed selling pressure, potentially pushing several classes of investors further into unrealized losses and increasing the risk of capitulation.

Bitcoin Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $66,677, reflecting a modest 1.15% gain in the last 24 hours. Despite this slight rebound, underlying sentiment suggests that panic may be gradually creeping into the market structure. According to the classic market cycle psychology model shared by Martinez, Bitcoin appears to be transitioning from anxiety and denial toward a more fragile phase where confidence weakens and volatility increases. While the modest daily gain offers temporary relief, the broader psychological landscape indicates that the market is gradually entering panic mode, suggesting an impending emotional sell-off by investors that would force prices to lower bands. With a market cap of $1.33 trillion, Bitcoin continues to rank as the largest digital asset and the 13th largest asset in the world. Featured image from Getty Images/Unsplash, chart from Tradingview

The XRP price began the week with a show of bullish momentum, seeing an approximate jump of 7%. However, the altcoin could not continue on this trajectory, as it nosedived on Wednesday and continues on that downward trajectory. While XRP’s future appears to tilt towards the bearish side, a technical indicator has recently revealed that the token may be setting up for a short-term rebound. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miner Fees Remain Near Cycle Lows: What Does This Signal? TD Sequential Signals Potential Trend Exhaustion  In an X post on January 30, technical analyst Ali Martinez postulates that the XRP price could soon see a rebound, provided that certain conditions are met. The central indicator for this revelation is the TD Sequential, a technical analytics tool that is used in identifying whether an uptrend or a downtrend is likely to pause, or even reverse. Simply put, the indicator tracks points of trend exhaustion, although in the short-term. The TD Sequential has two phases, i.e., the Setup Phase (1–9 count), and the Countdown phase (up to count 13), which have their respective interpretations. When a “9” count is completed, it is typically a sign of dwindling selling pressure. On the other hand, a full “13” count is a telltale sign of an imminent reversal.   From the chart shared by the analyst, we see a completed “9” count to the downside. From this, it is apparent that the momentum driving XRP’s recent fall is nearing a point of exhaustion. Interestingly, this signal’s appearance coincides with the imminence of a key price support. Martinez explains that if the $1.70 support’s integrity is maintained, XRP stands a chance at seeing a price rebound.  In the case where the $1.70 support sponsors a price rebound, the $1.80–$1.85 range stands as the resistance level that may test XRP’s momentum. If momentum builds and price overcomes the aforementioned price barrier, $1.90 could be another battleground. Related Reading: XRP To $100? Ex-Ripple CTO David Schwartz Weighs In On The Hype XRP ETFs Record $69M In Net Outflows Following Thursday Purge According to data from ETF tracking site SoSoValue, US XRP Spot ETFs are currently running at a cumulative outflow of more than $69 million. The first three days of the week produced combined positive netflows valued at 23.87 million. However, a cumulative outflow of $92.92 million on Thursday quickly flipped a positive week red. Interestingly, this negative figure is in congruence with last week’s net outflow of $40.64 million. Typically, a negative netflow signals that institutional demand might be tapering, as it directly reports that more capital was withdrawn from the  XRP ETFs than deposited. In this context, where the XRP price took on a sharp downtrend, it becomes apparent that institutional investors may have played a significant role in the price downturn of the Ripple token recently seen. Nonetheless, negative ETF netflows do not necessarily tell a broader story of bearishness, but are reflections of profit-taking or de-risking events. As of this writing, XRP trades at a $1.74. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the altcoin has lost about 3.26% of its value since the past day. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview

As the crypto market suffered a widespread decline, Aave (AAVE) prices dipped by nearly 10%, reaching a local bottom around $153. Presently, the altcoin is trading within a range of $155-$160, but an emerging chart pattern indicates an impending price breakout. Related Reading: XRP Price Recovery Is Possible If It Reclaims This Ichimoku Base AAVE Falling Wedge Nears Explosion Point, $145 As Key Price Floor  In an X post on January 23, popular market expert Ali Martinez shares an insightful analysis of the AAVEUSD 4-hour chart, showing the altcoin is approaching a critical market juncture. Notably, a key support zone of $144 sits at the base of a broader descending structure that has defined AAVE’s price action since last year. Martinez’s analysis shows that AAVE is trading within a falling wedge formation, characterized by a series of lower highs capped by a descending trendline and relatively stable support near the $145 region. This price formation often represents a period of consolidation following sustained downside pressure, as sellers gradually lose momentum while buyers defend a key floor. For context, since topping out above the $350 level earlier in the cycle, AAVE has experienced a steady corrective move, with price stepping down through multiple horizontal levels near $240, $200, and $162. The loss of these zones shifted short-term momentum firmly in favor of sellers, making the current support range even more important. At present, AAVE is trading in the mid $150s, leaving limited room before a direct retest of the $144.93 support. However, this level has already acted as a demand zone multiple times during the current downtrend, reinforcing its significance.  According to Martinez’s analysis, a clean break below $145 could force an accelerated downside move, with the next major support area set around $125. In that scenario, price acceptance below the wedge structure would likely confirm a continuation of the broader bearish trend. Conversely, holding the $145 support may provide the conditions for a technical rebound. A successful defense of this level, combined with a break above the descending trendline, could allow AAVE to reclaim higher resistance zones around $162 and potentially $200 over time. While such a move would not immediately invalidate the larger corrective structure, it would suggest improving market balance and decreased selling pressure.

Meanwhile, the daily trading volume is up by 6.07% and valued at $362.59 million. With price compressing toward the apex of the falling wedge, traders should expect increased volatility in the coming AAVE trading sessions. For now, the price moves at $144.93 as a pivotal inflection point for determining the next directional move.  Featured image from Rootsttrap, chart from TradingView

Chainlink’s native token, LINK, continues to trade within a clearly defined price channel, reflecting a period of consolidation as the broader crypto market is yet to establish a clear market direction. Meanwhile, renowned analyst Ali Martinez provides some key insights on the LINK market, highlighting the potential price targets for the next breakout. Related Reading: Litecoin Structure Intact, But $63 Remains The Line Bulls Must Defend Chainlink In Compression Phase Between $12-$15 — What Next?  In a recent X post, Martinez shares an analysis of the LINK 12-hour chart, which shows the altcoin has been range-bound between key support at $11.89 and resistance near $14.64, a structure that has remained intact over multiple trading sessions stretching back to 2025. This price behavior implies that neither bulls nor bears have been able to assert sustained control as each attempt to push higher has been capped near the upper boundary of the channel, while pullbacks have consistently found buyers around the $11.89 support zone.  From a technical standpoint, the channel highlights a phase of consolidation following earlier volatility. Therefore, this structure may be laying the groundwork for a more decisive move once the price escapes the current boundaries.  The $14.64 resistance level remains the key hurdle for bullish continuation. A confirmed breakout above this zone, ideally supported by rising volume, could reignite upside momentum with potential targets set at $17.00. On the downside, a loss of the $11.89 support could change the technical outlook, exposing LINK to deeper retracements, with potential around $10.00. For now, however, this support has held firm, reinforcing the validity of the channel and keeping bearish momentum in check.
