THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Ripple’s recent moves are drawing new attention after Western Union picked Solana for a USDPT rollout in 2026. According to supporters of XRP, that headline misses a bigger picture: Ripple has been buying firms that touch much larger pools of money. Related Reading: Bitcoin Drop Shaves $5 Billion From Satoshi Nakamoto’s Untouched Fortune Western Union’s deal could steer over $100 billion in annual cross-border flow to Solana. But some say that sum is small compared with the pipelines Ripple is tying into. Trillions Not Billions Based on reports, Ripple has added firms that already sit inside massive payment and liquidity systems. Hidden Road, a global prime brokerage, clears about $3 trillion a year. GTreasury provides treasury tools that move trillions in payments across 160+ countries. Rail handles roughly 10% of all stablecoin-based payment volume worldwide. Those figures matter because ownership gives a different kind of access than a short-term partnership does. many of you have asked for my thoughts on the western union x solana announcement, so here they are. TLDR: billions are cool, but trillions are cooler. while western union handles billions of dollars each year, ripple is on its way to handling trillions of dollars each year.… — Dom | EasyA (@dom_kwok) October 29, 2025 Market Comment And Skepticism Market voices pushed back. Scott Melker questioned XRP’s current role after Western Union chose Solana, noting Western Union had tested the XRP Ledger for years. That choice has prompted debate about whether XRP still matters for big global payments right now. At the same time, Ripple’s backers argue a deeper story exists beyond which chain a single company picks for its stablecoin. XRP As The Settlement Layer According to Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA, the proper lens is scale. He says the conversation should not center on deals worth billions but on the trillions Ripple now touches through acquisitions. Kwok and others suggest those companies could be steered to use the XRP Ledger for settlement over time. Ripple’s own technology and business moves are being framed as the plumbing that could let XRP settle large, institutional flows. Supporters Speak Up Flare CEO Hugo Philion has also downplayed the Western Union news, saying it does not undercut Ripple’s strategy. Based on reports from community figures, some engineers and analysts now say XRP could shift from a bridge token to a place people hold value. There will come a time where XRP and XRPL is just where you keep most of your wealth. That is called Treasury. Hint hint. — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 17, 2025 Vincent Van Code told followers that “a time will come when XRP and the XRP Ledger are just where you keep most of your wealth,” a view which mirrors comments by Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz about users acting as their own banks. Ownership Vs. Partnerships When a company owns a platform, it can choose how that tool grows. Reports show acquisitions give Ripple a steadier role in payments and trading services than a single contract would. Yet ownership does not guarantee instant change. Moving institutional flows onto a specific ledger is complex and can take time. Related Reading: Dogecoin Enters The Big Leagues — Stadium And Jerseys Get A Crypto Makeover What This Means Going Forward For now, the debate will track two threads. One asks whether wins like Western Union’s Solana deal signal broader market preference. The other watches whether Ripple’s purchases translate into actual settlement volume for XRP. Numbers such as $3 trillion, trillions across 160+ countries, and 10% of stablecoin payments give weight to the second view. But adoption at scale is not automatic, and observers will be looking for clear signs that those trillions are truly shifting toward the XRP Ledger.

According to analyst Trader Tadrigrade, Dogecoin has been moving inside a long-running symmetrical triangle that echoes a setup seen in 2016–2017. Based on reports, the analyst used a two-month chart to compare current price action with the buildup that preceded a breakout in March 2017. Related Reading: Dogecoin Down 20% – But Some Think This Is When The Real Gains Start Back then, DOGE climbed from about $0.0003 to $0.0194 by January 2018, a rally of 7%. Traders pointing to that episode say the current narrowing range looks familiar and could set the stage for a notable move. Market Moves This Month DOGE is trading at around $0.18 at the time of writing after a 20% drop so far this October. That decline contrasts with recent Octobers: a 40% rise in October 2024, a 10% gain in October 2023, and a 100% jump in October 2022. Prices have been compressing inside the triangle since late 2024, and the tighter range has increased talk among chart watchers that a breakout may be near. $DOGE/2-month#Dogecoin is following its first cycle ???? pic.twitter.com/FNFJo3C59I — Trader Tardigrade (@TATrader_Alan) October 30, 2025 Targets After A Breakout Analysts who favor the pattern point to a first target near $3.90, which would represent about a 2,000% gain from current levels if reached. Other, much bolder projections are also being shared. One chart shown by bulls extends toward $48 — a 26,500% rise — which, if circulating supply stayed near 151 billion tokens, would imply a market value near $7 trillion. That number would dwarf most global asset classes and is widely seen as highly unlikely. Reports have also referenced an $18 forecast last month, a level that would make many holders wealthy if it materialized, but it remains a long shot. Technical Patterns Versus Broader Forces Pattern recognition can offer a clear rule for traders, but charts do not capture everything that drives price. Liquidity levels, investor interest, moves in Bitcoin, and shifts in social attention all affect how far any rally can run. Related Reading: Dogecoin Enters The Big Leagues — Stadium And Jerseys Get A Crypto Makeover For a multi-thousand percent surge to happen, sustained buying and extended public attention would be required. At present, the view rests primarily on a visual similarity between past and present setups rather than on independent signals that a major rally is guaranteed.

Crypto analyst Hal has revealed how investors can make up to $1 million by investing in Litecoin. This comes as another analyst has predicted that LTC could soon break out of its current consolidation phase to reach a four-figure price target.  How Litecoin Can Turn A $3,700 Investment Into $1 Million In an X post, Hal stated that investors can make $1 million from about $3,700 if they bid the low $30 range on Litecoin and sell when the altcoin reaches $9,000. The analyst is confident that the LTC price can still drop to around this level, providing investors another opportunity to take this investment advice.  Related Reading: Signal That Sparked 100% Litecoin Rally In 2017 Has Been Triggered Again  He noted that Litecoin never saw the 5th wave down in the Wave C corrective move, which he claimed means the altcoin is still going to drop below $41. Hal’s accompanying chart also showed that LTC could still drop to as low as $30 before its next parabolic rally to the upside. The analyst remarked that the altcoin could fall below the projected $30 range, but that it looks unlikely.  Meanwhile, Hal declared that Litecoin is the “clearest and most confident” 250x to 300x play he sees in the market. He added that he has been waiting a long time for this last drop to $30 and that it is coming soon. He urged investors not to miss it, seeing as he projects that they could make millions on their LTC investment.  Hal’s prediction comes amid the launch of the first spot Litecoin ETF by Canary Capital. This is expected to attract institutional inflows into the LTC ecosystem, which could be a positive for the altcoin’s price. However, the LTC hasn’t had the best of starts and is currently lagging behind the Solana and Hedera ETFs, which also just launched, in terms of inflows.  Why LTC Could Easily Record This Parabolic Rally Hal noted that Litecoin has one of the longest, oldest, and largest accumulation channels in existence among altcoins against its Bitcoin pair. He revealed that the LTC/BTC chart looks similar to the DOGE/BTC chart just before the Dogecoin price broke out and did a 663x in the 2021 bull cycle. This is why the analyst is confident that LTC’s price can record a 300x gain from the next low when it reaches the top of the next altcoin run.  Related Reading: Litecoin About To Complete 3rd Ever Golden Cross In History, What Happened The Last 2 Times? Meanwhile, crypto analyst CoinsKid stated that Litecoin has been in consolidation mode since the 2018 cycle top. He added that compression leads to expansion, predicting that LTC can reach $4,000 if it breaks the upper resistance just above $200.  CoinsKid noted how this would put LTC just shy of Ethereum’s market cap.  At the time of writing, the Litecoin price is trading at around $96, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The crypto market is beginning to display early indications that a new altcoin season could be approaching, as analysts reference historical patterns and technical signals hinting at a rebound after a lengthy slump. Although altcoins have recently lagged behind Bitcoin, bullish factors from data and macroeconomic parallels are building optimism that a change in liquidity conditions might trigger a strong market-wide rally for altcoins. Altcoin Dominance Hits Record Oversold Levels According to crypto analyst Javon Marks, altcoin dominance has entered oversold conditions for the first time in history. Marks highlighted in his post that the indicator, which measures the market share of all altcoins, is now the most oversold it’s ever been. The OTHERS.D chart shows the market dominance percentage of all cryptocurrencies except the top 10 by market capitalization. It is a measure of the combined market share of smaller altcoins and can be used to identify broader altcoin rallies. His long-term chart of the OTEHRS.D movement spans over a decade, with each major low followed by an extended period of recovery and massive market gains. The chart reveals that dominance has declined sharply since its 2021 peak of around 20%. At the time of writing, the OTHERS.D dominance is around 7%. A wave trend indicator at the bottom of the chart is in deep negative territory around negative 50%, which is its lowest in history.  Marks noted that such oversold conditions often precede strong reversals. It means that selling pressure has been exhausted and that a major rebound could soon begin. If this pattern repeats, altcoins may be entering one of their most attractive accumulation phases in years. Crypto Total Market Cap Excluding Top 10 Dominance. Source: Javon Marks on X Fed’s Monetary Shifts And Their Impact On Crypto Liquidity Another technical perspective came from analyst Ted Pillows, who compared current market conditions to the 2019-2020 cycle when the Federal Reserve ended quantitative tightening (QT) and later resumed quantitative easing (QE). His chart of the crypto total market cap excluding Bitcoin shows a 42% decline following the end of QT in late 2019, followed by an explosive recovery after the Fed initiated QE in March 2020. Pillows explained that while ending QT may ease financial pressure, it does not directly inject liquidity into the economy, something altcoins need to rally. In contrast, QE or Treasury General Account (TGA) releases flood the market with liquidity and allow inflows into cryptocurrencies. He noted that ending QT isn’t enough for alts to rally. It is either the Fed starts another QE or the Treasury releases TGA liquidity into the economy. The most feasible option right now is the second one. Crypto Total Market Cap Excluding BTC. Source: Ted Pillows On X With the US government currently in a shutdown, he suggested that a TGA-driven liquidity release may occur once the fiscal impasse is resolved, and this will serve as the next major driving force for the altcoin market.

Crypto analyst XForce has predicted that the XRP price could rally to $10 on a wave 3 impulsive move to the upside. The analyst also indicated that the bottom was in for XRP even as the crypto market remains in a downtrend.  XRP Price Headed To $10 On Wave 3 Move In an X post, XForce told XRP holders to get ready for a rally to $10 or higher, which he described as a conservative wave 3 target. He noted that there are minor market inefficiencies in the local timeframes for the XRP price. However, the analyst added that the macro chart shows clear accumulation and a solid price floor after almost a year of distribution.  Related Reading: Why This Analyst Is More Bullish On XRP Over Ethereum For The Short-Term Crypto analyst CasiTrades had also predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $10 on the wave 3 move. However, she predicted that XRP would crash to as low as $1.4 first to complete the macro wave 2 correction, which had begun around the largest liquidation event on October 10.  XForce indicated that this projected crash to $1.4 for the XRP price was unlikely to happen. The analyst opined that the major low was in and alluded to the macro chart, which showed that the low had been broken, but XRP bounced hard from it. He added that XRP could stay in this current range for more distribution before the next leg up, but believes that predictions about a further downtrend are all “noise.” The XRP price has continued to range between $2.4 and $2.6 as the market recovers from the October 10 crash, which saw XRP drop to as low as $0.77 on Binance. Meanwhile, it also dropped below the psychological $2 level on other exchanges.  One Final Drop For XRP Crypto analyst CasiTrades doubled down on her prediction that the XRP price would witness one final crash before a rally to the upside. She noted that the altcoin is reacting exactly as expected, having rejected the Wave 4 resistance near $2.68. She added that the price is now turning bearish and the RSI is making a new low, which is starting to confirm that Wave 5 down is underway.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Maps Out The XRP Price Roadmap From $3 To $27 CasiTrades stated that breaking below $2.42 would confirm continuation toward the lower targets at $2.03 and $1.65. These two lower levels are said to have alignment with the Wave 5 extension. The analyst again indicated that the XRP price could drop to at least $1.65, which she noted is the macro .618 retracement.  CasiTrades opined that this projected crash should complete the final wave of the correction before a massive wave 3 impulse to the upside. She added that once the bottom forms, the next impulse should be “fast and obvious,” with the XRP price cutting through resistance on the way to new highs.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.48, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Steph has highlighted a high liquidity level that could spark a significant surge for the XRP price. This comes as the altcoin struggles to reclaim the psychological $3 level, which could lead to a further rally to new highs.  Liquidity Level That Could Spark An XRP Price Surge In an X post, Steph revealed that the liquidity around $3.2 is expanding for the XRP price and that the market is charging toward the highest cluster. He explained that there are many buy and sell orders around this level, with market makers often looking to capture liquidity at price levels with significant liquidity clusters like this one. Related Reading: Are The XRP Tokens In Escrow At Risk Of Being Sold? Ripple CTO Shares Insights As such, the XRP price could rally to $3.2 at some point, reclaiming the $3 level in the process. However, the crypto market is currently on a downtrend, which makes this rally less unlikely for now. XRP has struggled to break out of its current range since the $19 billion liquidation event on October 10.  Crypto analyst CasiTrades had recently predicted that the XRP price could still drop to as low as $1.4 before it records a bullish reversal. She claimed that this will set the stage for the next Wave 3 impulse that could send XRP toward $6.50 or $10. Meanwhile, for the projected XRP crash to be invalidated, the analyst stated that the altcoin needs to break and hold above $2.82.  However, Steph revealed that the XRP price has formed a double bottom, which he predicts would lead to a reversal above $3. The analyst is also confident that XRP will reach a new all-time high (ATH), predicting a rally to $4.50 as he highlighted a compression on the chart.  Why Current Price Action Is Still Bullish  Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto revealed that the XRP price is making higher highs and that the RSI is also making higher highs, which he noted means strong bullish momentum and that buyers are still in control while the trend is healthy. He added that there is no bearish divergence, so momentum is confirming the price move.  Related Reading: Why This Analyst Is More Bullish On XRP Over Ethereum For The Short-Term Egrag Crypto further remarked that when the XRP price and RSI rise together, the uptrend is real and supported by strength. He suggested that XRP holders should only be worried when the price makes higher highs but the RSI makes lower highs. He explained that this is when a bearish divergence could occur, indicating weakening momentum. Meanwhile, the analyst also mentioned that a close above between $2.65 and $2.70 with confirmation is key.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.5, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

TIS Inc., Japan’s largest payments processor, has moved into tokenized finance by launching a Multi-Token Platform on Avalanche’s AvaCloud, according to company announcements and industry reports. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ignites — 60% Volume Boom Teases Potential Rally The platform is built to support stablecoins, tokenized deposits and digital securities for banks and large firms. This is a step that could change how some institutional payments settle inside Japan. TIS Brings Existing Scale To Tokens According to filings and company material, TIS’s PayCierge system now handles more than ¥300 trillion in annual B2C payments. That figure could top ¥1,000 trillion if more B2B and payroll flows move on-chain, based on the firm’s internal forecasts. TIS is not small: it handles nearly half of domestic credit card processing and supports more than 80% of branded debit accounts. Reports show 11 of Japan’s leading 25 credit card issuers use TIS systems, which together serve nearly 200 million customers. Those ties give the new token platform a ready set of potential partners. This is a big deal. The company that powers ~50% of Japan’s credit card payments, TIS, just deployed on Avalanche????: pic.twitter.com/kyTFSKoYdo — Avalanche???? (@avax) October 28, 2025 Why The Cloud Chain Was Chosen Reports have disclosed that TIS opted to use AvaCloud so it can deploy blockchains without building and running its own infrastructure. AvaCloud is described as offering automated scaling, real-time governance features and the reliability needed for regulated finance. https://t.co/gNU4ZrcK8r — Avalanche???? (@avax) October 28, 2025 Avalanche’s fast finality and cross-chain tools were cited as reasons TIS can aim for real-time, programmable settlement between institutions. The move means responsibility for the underlying cloud and node operations will be shared with the Avalanche service. Links To Yen Stablecoins And Reserve Models JPYC has put forward what it calls the first fully redeemable yen-backed stablecoin, claiming backing from domestic deposits and Japanese government bonds (JGBs). JPYC has said it charges no transaction fees and that it earns revenue from JGB interest. That kind of model is one of the examples of how tokenized yen instruments might be structured on platforms such as TIS’s. What This Could Mean For Banks And Corporates Banks and corporations may be able to run tokenized deposits or securities on the Multi-Token Platform if they join pilots or production programs. That said, adoption will require clear rules about backing, custody and how tokens are redeemed into yen. Some of these details are being discussed now between issuers, service providers and market observers.

Based on reports, several asset managers have updated filings for spot XRP exchange-traded funds, naming tickers such as GXRP and XRPZ. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ignites — 60% Volume Boom Teases Potential Rally That regulatory activity is one of the items market watchers say is drawing attention back to XRP. At the same time, Ripple’s move to acquire GTreasury for $1 billion has been highlighted by some analysts as a step closer to the $120 trillion corporate treasury market. Those developments, taken together, are keeping optimism alive among traders and community figures. Analyst Claims Accelerated Timeline According to social posts and comment threads, the analyst known as 24hrscrypto1 told followers “something big is going on” and reiterated a previously stated $100 target for XRP, while suggesting the date might come sooner than the earlier claim of by 2030. At current trading near $2.60, reaching $100 would represent roughly a 4,000% increase from today’s level. Other commentators have offered similar high-end ranges. Something big is going on.. All I can say is, we will see a $100 XRP way before 2030 ???? — ???????????????????????????????????????????? (@24hrscrypto1) October 17, 2025 For example, CryptoCharged COO Matthew Brienen has described a $100–$1,000 band as “highly possible” inside a five to 10 year span, citing use cases in cross-border payments. Wealth mentor Linda Jones has used a personal example to make a point: a $100 investment once bought about 400 XRP at $0.25 each, but that same $100 today would buy fewer than 35 XRP, a detail some see as evidence of growing scarcity. Institutional Accumulation And Supply Concerns Some observers argue that steady buying by banks and funds has been taking place behind the scenes during volatile stretches. If large holders continue to add positions and trading liquidity thins, the market could face a supply-demand imbalance that would push prices higher quickly. That is the basic line supporting ultra-ambitious forecasts. Yet whether institutions will hold XRP long term or use it actively in payments remains a crucial unknown that would determine how the story actually plays out. Market Moves And Community Momentum Social voices continue to matter. A prominent community commentator using the name UnknowDLT has described XRP as one of the major opportunities for this generation and the next, language that keeps retail interest high. XRP will end up being one of the greatest opportunities of not only our life time, but many to come. — {x} (@unknowDLT) October 28, 2025 At the same time, volatility is real: earlier this month XRP dropped to roughly $1.20 during a broader market pullback, showing how fast gains can be wiped out when conditions change.

Technical analyst Charting Guy has shared a new perspective on the relationship between XRP and Ethereum, identifying a setup that he believes could lead to short-term XRP outperformance.  His analysis, which was posted on the social media platform X, focuses on the XRP/ETH weekly chart, where he highlighted the formation of a bullish divergence that has not appeared since mid-2024. The development, he says, signals a constructive shift in momentum that will favor XRP’s price action over Ethereum for the next three months. A Rare Weekly Bullish Divergence Favors XRP Over Ethereum In his update, Charting Guy explained that the XRP/ETH weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) was previously rejected but has now reversed into a bullish divergence. The RSI has turned upward from a low region, while the price closed at a lower low last week, which is a tell-tale sign of waning selling pressure and XRP building strength against Ethereum. Related Reading: Here’s What The XRP Open Interest Reset Means For The Price This green-marked divergence on the analyst’s XRP/ETH chart, which is shown below, mimics a setup that preceded another major swing in XRP’s favor. The yellow RSI moving average has also started to flatten, and this is another signal that momentum could be stabilizing before a breakout.  The last time this same configuration occurred was in June 2024, just before XRP began a multi-month surge against Ethereum. Back then, the XRP/ETH pair rose from 0.00015 to as high as 0.0003 in August 2024, before retracing and then finally picking up again in November 2024. The pattern outlined by the analyst shows XRP/ETH currently consolidating near the 0.00063 ratio level. This time, the setup looks equally compelling. The RSI’s upward curve points to market participation on the XRP side, while Ethereum’s relative momentum continues to slow. If the pattern repeats, it could mark the start of another short-term cycle of the token strength against ETH. Short-Term Projection Favors XRP As shown by the projection drawn in blue on the chart above, Charting Guy visualized a scenario where XRP climbs sharply relative to Ethereum. The projection uses the performance of the pair between July 2024 and March 2025 to predict the next move. From here, the projection places the XRP/ETH pair trading above 0.00015 by March 2026. Related Reading: Ethereum and Solana Price Ready To Send Hard? Legendary Analyst Says It’s Time To Pay Attention He concluded his analysis by stating, “I am VERY bullish on $XRP > $ETH the next 3 months.” His three-month forecast implies that XRP could regain a leadership position among major altcoins during the next quarter. If the token manages to outperform Ethereum as predicted, it will close the gap in their market cap. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.64 with a $158 billion market cap. Ethereum, on the other hand, is trading at $4,025 with a $486 billion market cap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Dogecoin saw a sharp jump in trading activity on Tuesday, but prices did not follow immediately. Volume over the last 24 hours rose by 60%, pushing total traded value above $2 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. Related Reading: $10K Is Coming: Arthur Hayes’ Zcash ‘Vibe Check’ Sparks 30% Moonshot Yet the token traded near $0.21 at the time of the report, down about 0.18% in the day and down 12% so far this month. Trading Volume Surges According to CoinMarketCap data, the sudden spike in volume shows many more hands moving DOGE than usual. Reports have disclosed that this wave of trades coincides with renewed interest among retail buyers and larger holders. Data shows that October has historically been a strong month for Dogecoin, with modest gains of 30% to a more impressive 101% from 2021 up to 2024. Those past returns help explain why some traders expect a positive close this month. Whales Move, Exchanges See Flow Reports have disclosed several large transfers tied to the surge. One report described a dormant whale with a 36 DOGE seed reactivating and making a transfer valued at $26.8 million to Binance. Another dormant wallet reportedly moved 15.115 million DOGE, valued at about $2.95 million, out of the same exchange. These movements drew attention because big transfers can change where liquidity sits and how quickly prices move when buying or selling picks up. Another dormant wallet reportedly moved 15 million DOGE, valued at about nearly $3 million, out of Binance. These movements drew attention because big transfers can change where liquidity sits and how quickly prices move when buying or selling picks up. Macro Drivers And Market Sentiment The volume surge came as major cryptocurrencies showed strength. Reports have disclosed Bitcoin moving higher toward $115,000 while Ethereum traded near $4,200. That broader rally can lift smaller tokens as traders rotate capital across markets. Still, metrics are mixed: one recent forecast predicted DOGE could rise by 13% to $0.22 by November 27, 2025, while technical indicators flagged the current sentiment as Bearish and the Fear & Greed Index sat at 50. Outlook And Risks Ahead The picture is straightforward and messy at the same time. Higher volume suggests interest; price action says caution. Whale transfers can both fuel rallies and add selling pressure, depending on intent.

Crypto analyst CryptosRus has drawn attention to the open interest reset for XRP. The analyst also explained why this development could spark a major price surge for the altcoin.  XRP’s Open Interest Drops To New Lows In an X post, CryptosRus revealed that XRP’s open interest on Binance has dropped back to the same lows that were seen in May 2025. The analyst noted that back then, the liquidation flush sparked a massive rally for the altcoin, which pushed it to $3.50. He added that this time around, the open interest is at the floor again, but the price is holding around $2.6.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Maps Out The XRP Price Roadmap From $3 To $27 CryptosRus stated that this means that leverage is gone while the strong hands are still holding XRP. The analyst predicted that if new liquidity enters, this setup could signal the next leg up for the altcoin. He added that rallies usually start when leverage is low, spot demand is strong, and shorts are trapped.  Notably, XRP has witnessed new demand with the launch of the largest XRP treasury company, Evernorth. The company has already accumulated up to $1 billion in XRP with Ripple’s backing and has revealed plans to continue accumulating more, using gains from its DeFi activities. Notably, the company stated that it will purchase XRP on the open market, which is expected to impact the altcoin’s price.  Meanwhile, the SEC is expected to approve the spot XRP ETFs once the U.S. government shutdown ends. This could drive new liquidity into the altcoin, boosting its price. Moreover, experts such as Canary Capital’s CEO Steven McClurg have predicted that the XRP ETFs could see more inflows in their first month than the Ethereum ETFs did.  XRP Is Gearing Up For A ‘Face Melting’ Rally Crypto analyst Ether stated that XRP is quietly gearing up to melt faces and that most aren’t even aware or ready for what is coming. This came as the analyst alluded to an earlier analysis, in which he revealed that a similar scenario from a previous cycle was playing out for the altcoin.  Related Reading: Why This Crypto Analyst Now Believes XRP Price At $21 Is No Longer A Dream Ethere stated that XRP’s cyclical structure is showing a striking similarity again. After the altcoin’s rally in 2017, its price was rejected from the 2013 all-time high (ATH) level and then retested the 2014 ATH level, which had previously acted as resistance. XRP then began its parabolic run after it accumulated strength in that range.  Now, this same XRP price action is playing out again, according to Ether. He noted that after the strong surge in 2024, the altcoin’s price was rejected at the 2017 ATH level and retested the 2021 ATH level, which had previously acted as resistance. The analyst added that the power accumulation phase is now underway in this region and that once it is complete, the next parabolic run will be inevitable.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.63, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

According to market snapshots, Zcash rose about 30% in a 24-hour span, moving from roughly $272 to a peak near $355. The coin has been up more than 40% in the last week. The token’s gain outpaced all other top 50 coins by market cap during the same window. Volume spiked at the same time, showing traders piled in quickly after a single social post touched off the move. Related Reading: XRP: The Catalyst For ‘Humanity’s Greatest Shift’ By 2030 —Analyst Influencer Posts Spark Buying Based on reports on social media, the rally was partly driven by traders reacting to a bullish post from Arthur Hayes on X. Contributors on platforms like Binance Square flagged the post, and one user known as AB Kuai Dong said an endorsement by what he called a “legendary Silicon Valley investor” pushed people into the market. Vibe check $ZEC to $10k pic.twitter.com/tBc0WaxzZ1 — Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) October 26, 2025 Another poster, Clemente, who is listed as a board member at treasury firm K9Strategy, said they joined the trade because they felt “so much FOMO I couldn’t keep myself sidelined.” These bursts of hype pushed more orders onto the books and helped lift the price in a short time. Past Calls Have Moved Markets Hayes has prompted market moves before. At a Tokyo conference in August 2025, he predicted Hyperliquid’s HYPE token could climb 126 times over three years. That call produced a modest market response then — roughly a 5% uptick for HYPE — but it showed how a single forecast from a well-known figure can sway trader behavior. Market participants say such calls sometimes lead to brief spikes and sometimes to longer trends. Follow-through, depth of liquidity, and general demand all matter. Privacy Tokens See Renewed Interest Reports have disclosed that Zcash rallied close to 500% over the last 30 days and crossed a $5 billion market cap on Sunday, according to CoinMarketCap data. At the same time, Monero, the largest privacy coin by market cap, ticked up about 3.2% to trade near $345 and remains restricted on many big exchanges, highlighting differences in access and regulatory pressure. Technical Indicators Show Choppy Momentum According to a recent Zcash price outlook, ZEC is forecast to rise about 52% and reach $558 by November 26, 2025. Current technical indicators are flagged Bullish, while the Fear & Greed Index sat at 51, a neutral reading. Related Reading: XRP Sparks Bullish Frenzy As Top Software Dev Says It Beats ETF Hype Over the past 30 days Zcash posted 19/30 green days, which is 63%, and showed 37% price volatility. Those numbers point to strong recent momentum but also to a bumpy ride. Some gains may hold if new buyers arrive and liquidity tightens; other gains could fade quickly if selling pressure appears. Based on reports and the data above, the Zcash move highlights how social signals can trigger rapid trading flows. The numbers are eye-catching. Still, traders and observers will be watching whether demand deepens or the rally is a short-lived reaction to hype. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView

Ethereum’s largest non-exchange holders are tiptoeing back into accumulation. On-chain analytics platform Santiment reported that wallets holding between 100 and 10,000 ETH, also known as whales and sharks, have begun to rebuild positions after unloading roughly 1.36 million ETH between October 5 and 16.  Notably, the Ethereum collective holdings chart shows that nearly one-sixth of those coins have already been clawed back, as some confidence starts to return to the second-largest crypto asset. Related Reading: ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’: Ripple President Sees Bright Path Ahead For XRP Whales Reverse Course After Early-October Capitulation The first half of October was highlighted by one of Ethereum’s most pronounced periods of capitulation this year. Macroeconomic fears due to US tariffs saw the Bitcoin price undergo a flash crash that dragged many altcoins to the downside. During this move, Ethereum’s price also fell very quickly, dropping from highs around $4,740 on October 7 to as low as $3,680 on October 11.  Interestingly, on-chain data shows that the selling pressure from large holders amplified this move, as the chart from Santiment shows a steep decline in their cumulative holdings from about 24.5 million ETH to roughly 22.6 million ETH. This 1.9 million ETH drop reflected clear risk-off behavior among whales and sharks, who had been net buyers since August. However, once selling momentum began to fade, accumulation started to return. Institutional inflows started to return into Spot Ethereum ETFs, and whale/shark trades started accumulating Ethereum. Since October 16, the same cohort that contributed to the liquidation has begun adding back to their positions. Santiment noted that these holders are finally showing some signs of confidence, demonstrating an incoming extended recovery phase following the shakeout. 218,470 ETH Added In Last 7 Days According to Santiment’s data, the collective holdings of addresses with 100 to 10,000 ETH have rebounded to approximately 23.05 million ETH after bottoming out in mid-October. A highlighted annotation on the chart shows that 218,470 ETH were accumulated in just the past week, signaling a tangible shift in on-chain behavior.  Ethereum collective holdings of wallets holding 100-10,000 ETH. Source: Santiment This increase represents roughly one-sixth of the coins previously dumped, a sign that major investors are gradually re-entering the market after what appeared to be an exhaustion phase. Similar accumulation trends have often preceded a broader recovery in Ethereum’s price, especially when accompanied by stabilization in the ETH/BTC trading pair. As it stands, the Ethereum price appears to be building a firmer base for the next phase of its recovery heading into November. When whale wallets accumulate, it reduces the circulating supply available on exchanges and reduces selling pressure.

Both Ethereum and Bitcoin have risen a bit in recent days after inflation report showed US inflation cooling to 3% in September, below the 3.1% forecasted by economists.  Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Dogecoin’s higher-time-frame structure is starting to look constructive again. In a technical analysis posted on X, crypto analyst EtherNasyonaL noted that Dogecoin’s market cap has completed a build, and momentum is ready, pointing to a cup-and-handle breakout retest breakout on the monthly market-cap chart. The chart he shared shows Dogecoin’s market cap hovering just under $30 billion, riding above its 25-month moving average with a gentle series of higher lows that has been developing since the 2022 bear market base. Related Reading: XRP Sparks Bullish Frenzy As Top Software Dev Says It Beats ETF Hype Cup-And-Handle Breakout With A Convincing Retest The chart shared by EtherNasyonaL looks at a cup-and-handle structure that has been developing on Dogecoin’s market cap chart for several years. The cup portion stretches across 2022 and 2023, a long and gradual recovery phase following Dogecoin’s blow-off peak in the 2021 bull market. The handle is a narrowing consolidation under a descending resistance trendline that capped every attempt at recovery throughout the 2022/2023 bear market. Eventually, that resistance line was broken with a clean upward move in late 2024, confirming the first official breakout from the multi-year downtrend. However, what makes this setup interesting is the successful retest of that same resistance line, now turned into support, where price action briefly dipped before bouncing again. This retest occurred mid-October, when the Dogecoin crashed to $0.15 very briefly. The retest confirmed the breakout’s legitimacy, showing that Dogecoin traders defended the new support zone rather than allowing another breakdown. This kind of retest is known in technical analysis to lead to large directional moves, especially on higher timeframes where fewer false signals occur. EtherNasyonaL’s chart implies that Dogecoin has completed its build phase that lays the foundation for the next upward leg in its market cap. Dogecoin Market Cap. Source: @EtherNasyonaL on X Rising Bottoms And MA25 Support Strengthen Bullish Structure Another important element of EtherNasyonaL’s analysis lies in the consistent pattern of higher lows visible on the chart. Dogecoin’s market cap has formed a rising base since mid-2023, where each correction has ended above the previous one.  Equally important is the 25-month moving average (MA25) that runs beneath the candles. This indicator has acted as a dynamic support level for much of Dogecoin’s higher-time-frame structure. EtherNasyonaL noted this indicator’s role as the trend backbone by pointing out that this support has “continued to hold the price.”  Related Reading: ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’: Ripple President Sees Bright Path Ahead For XRP As it stands, Dogecoin is now trading well above this moving average. As long as the market cap remains above it, Dogecoin’s structure will continue to maintain its bullish integrity. Should momentum continue to build as the MACD line turns upward, as the chart suggests, the conditions could align for Dogecoin’s next expansion phase. The next expansion phase could take Dogecoin’s market cap above $100 billion, as projected in the chart above.  At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.20, with a market cap of $29.82 billion.

Crypto influencer Coach JV has reiterated his long-term faith in XRP and other digital assets, saying the current moment marks “the greatest shift in humanity.” According to his post on X, he updated a ranked list of his top holdings and urged patience, arguing that the next five years will reshape how money moves and how families hold wealth. Related Reading: XRP Sparks Bullish Frenzy As Top Software Dev Says It Beats ETF Hype Analyst’s Updated Holdings His current ranking places XRP first, followed by Bitcoin, Solana (SOL), Stellar (XLM), WLFI, Hedera (HBAR), and VeChain (VET). He said he favors assets with real-world use and lasting value over quick trades. Reports have disclosed that WLFI — the token tied to the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial — has not rallied since its September launch and is down about 71% from its peak on September 1. Still, Coach JV wrote that WLFI is “making moves up [his] ranking,” signaling increased confidence in the token despite its recent drop. My top holding have adjusted a bit. In order (just my journey do you) XRP BITCOIN SOL XLM WLFI (making moves up my ranking) HBAR VET This is the greatest shift in humanity. Looking forward to coming back to this in 2030. — Coach, JV (@Coachjv_) October 24, 2025 XRP As A Core Holding Coach JV argued that XRP’s fixed supply, speed, and scalability make it useful for cross-border payments. He has described XRP and Bitcoin as stores of family wealth. He told followers that fiat currency loses buying power over time and that crypto can help preserve purchasing power across generations. Coach JV also predicted that by 2030 he will look back and see early conviction rewarded. He went further, saying he expects XRP to surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum to become the top cryptocurrency by 2030 and that Ripple could act like a future bank. Community Response And Timing Meanwhile, reports have highlighted renewed optimism in the XRP community after pro-XRP engineer Vincent Van Code posted that “we might see some big announcements in favor of XRP.” Van Code suggested such news could come as soon as the US government reopens. Concerns over regulatory delays have been raised elsewhere; several observers say a temporary US shutdown slowed progress on approvals for an XRP exchange-traded fund and other regulatory milestones. Those delays are often cited as reasons why some market-moving updates remain pending. Boy wait til the government reopens again soon. We might see some big announcements in favor of XRP. — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 24, 2025 Market figures underline that conviction does not equal short-term gains. WLFI’s fall of about 71% from its peak on September 1 is a sharp example. Price moves like that were recorded after the token’s September debut. Investors quoted in social posts have pushed back, reminding followers that publicity and social confidence do not guarantee future returns. Related Reading: ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’: Ripple President Sees Bright Path Ahead For XRP Outlook And Advice According to Coach JV, patience is central: he told his audience to think in decades, not days, and wrote, “Looking forward to coming back to this in 2030.” That view is shared by some supporters, while others urge caution and point to clear losses in tokens like WLFI as reasons to manage risk. For now, Coach JV’s stance is public and firm, and it has sparked renewed debate about what role XRP and related projects will play in mainstream finance over the coming years.

Crypto analyst Hov has stated that the macro target for the Dogecoin price remains unchanged despite the recent crypto market crash. This comes as DOGE looks to reclaim the psychological $0.2 level, which could spark a significant rebound for the meme coin.  Macro Target For The Dogecoin Price Remains Above $2 In an X post, the crypto analyst stated that he still has the same macro target for the Dogecoin price. His accompanying chart showed DOGE could rally to $3 by next year, which would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. However, there is the possibility that the meme coin could keep trading sideways till the end of the year.  Related Reading: Why The Dogecoin 3.49% Annual Inflation Is Actually Not A Bug Meanwhile, Hov noted that the Dogecoin price action had played out as expected, with DOGE correcting off the low and crashing by over 50%. He added that the move did not quite make it into the lower support level, but that so far, the move off the low looks pretty corrective. The meme coin had crashed from a high of around $0.30 last month, recently touching $0.11 amid the crash that followed Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China.  Hov also stated that the focus will be on how the Dogecoin price action develops over the next week to see whether the C-wave corrective move is in. DOGE is currently looking to rebound and reclaim the psychological $0.2 level. This has been sparked by optimism regarding a potential trade deal between the U.S. and China.  The White House has confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump will meet China’s President Xi Jinping on October 30 at the APEC Summit. Meanwhile, the September CPI, which dropped yesterday, came in lower than expectations, which also contributed to a bounce in the Dogecoin price.  DOGE’s 3rd Bull Wave On The Horizon Crypto analyst Ether revealed in an X post that the 3rd bull wave is on the horizon for the Dogecoin price. He noted that DOGE experienced two major bull waves in 2017 and 2021 and that another bull wave is now loading. The analyst broke down the current price action, which points to another bull wave.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Dogecoin Price Is Headed To $3.25, Here’s When Ether revealed that the long downtrend has been broken, with the retest now complete. He further remarked that the 25MA on the higher time frame is back at support. Meanwhile, the Dogecoin price is said to be gathering strength in the lower band of a years-long ascending channel. The analyst added that all technical indicators are “whispering” the start of a new cycle. As such, he believes the 3rd bull wave is a matter of when, not if. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.19, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Ripple has finished its $1.25 billion purchase of Hidden Road and rebranded the firm as Ripple Prime, company leaders confirmed. According to executive remarks, the deal makes Ripple the first crypto company to own and run a global, multi-asset prime broker. Related Reading: 16,000 Ancient Bitcoins Just Moved—And It’s Costing Whales Billions Ripple President Monica Long said on X that the “future ahead is mighty bright,” and reports show the company is already moving to use XRP in new ways inside the prime brokerage business. Ripple Completes Hidden Road Deal Based on reports, Ripple Prime began life on Hidden Road’s backbone, a platform known for fast growth among non-bank prime brokers. Since Ripple announced the acquisition in April, business at the unit has tripled in size. Ripple Prime will offer services such as clearing, financing, and prime brokerage across asset classes, including FX, derivatives, swaps, and digital assets. Hidden Road’s founder, Marc Asch, will remain involved and work with CEO Brad Garlinghouse and other leaders as integration continues. The opportunities now available to Ripple Prime (fka Hidden Road) are expansive. With $RLUSD already being used as collateral for a number of prime brokerage products, and Ripple Prime looking at a variety of ways to utilize XRP, the future ahead is mighty bright. https://t.co/YFSUQlyeOO — Monica Long (@MonicaLongSF) October 24, 2025 RLUSD Gains Institutional Footing RLUSD, Ripple’s institutional stablecoin, is already being used as collateral across several prime brokerage products. According to company statements, some derivatives clients have chosen to hold balances in RLUSD rather than other currencies. Reports also note that BNY Mellon acts as the primary reserve custodian for RLUSD. Blockchain analytics firm Bluechip gave RLUSD an A rating for stability, governance, and asset backing, a ranking Ripple cites as evidence of institutional trust. Ripple’s Acquisition Push Strengthens Infrastructure Ripple has completed five major acquisitions in roughly two years, adding Metaco, Standard Custody, Rail, and GTreasury to its growing list of companies now working under its umbrella. The moves aim to expand custody, payments, liquidity, and treasury capabilities. Based on company comments, Ripple sees these buys as steps toward offering institutions a broader set of services tied to digital assets and traditional markets. Related Reading: XRP Sparks Bullish Frenzy As Top Software Dev Says It Beats ETF Hype Prime Brokerage Ambitions Grow Ripple has said it will use blockchain tools to streamline operations at Ripple Prime and reduce costs. According to executive remarks, the plan is to mesh payments, custody solutions, and stablecoin utility with prime brokerage functions to increase adoption among institutional clients. With today’s close of Hidden Road (now Ripple Prime), Ripple has announced 5 major acquisitions in ~2 years (GTreasury last week, Rail in August, Standard Custody in 2024, Metaco in 2023). As we continue to build solutions towards enabling an Internet of Value – I’m reminding you… https://t.co/O5Uub7ulw9 — Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) October 24, 2025 What This Means For XRP Monica Long’s upbeat message came with concrete moves rather than just words. Reports show Ripple Prime’s expansion and RLUSD’s institutional traction could make XRP more useful to banks and asset managers. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has repeatedly emphasized the company’s commitment to XRP, and Ripple’s latest steps put the token inside a wider set of services aimed at professional users. XRP Price Update Analysts and market watchers will be watching how quickly institutions adopt these new tools and whether XRP finds a steady, functional place in that ecosystem. XRP has been moving quietly within a tight range lately, holding between $2.30 and $2.50. The broader crypto market has stayed calm, and the token continues to trade comfortably above $2.20, showing resilience despite muted activity. According to crypto analysts, XRP’s quiet phase might not last long, pointing to a potential setup for a massive rally that could lift the coin far beyond its current zone — possibly reaching above $27 in the long run.

According to software engineer Vincent Van Code, fresh practical reasons are emerging for renewed confidence in XRP among some developers and investors. He argues that the biggest barrier to big firms holding XRP directly isn’t price or interest — it’s operations and compliance. Related Reading: 16,000 Ancient Bitcoins Just Moved—And It’s Costing Whales Billions Custody Costs Stall Direct Holdings Van Code told followers that big companies can’t just “set up a Ledger or Xumm wallet and drop $100 million in there.” He said institutions need formal custody arrangements, regular audits and compliance systems before they will touch crypto on a large scale. Reports place the upkeep of those services at about $300,000 a year for a single institutional setup, a figure that helps explain why many firms prefer not to hold tokens on their own balance sheets. What I am realizing with the bew @evernorthxrp announcement and stagnant XRP price is that it might be harder than we think for institutions to buy and hold XRP. Large companies aren’t going to simply setup a Ledger or Xaman wallet and drop $100M in there. They want custody,… — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 21, 2025 ETFs And Equity Routes Gain Traction Based on reports, Van Code believes that exchange-traded funds and public companies that hold XRP will be the easiest route for institutions to gain exposure. There are currently seven applications for XRP ETFs pending with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, though filings have been paused amid the US government shutdown. For many large investors, buying shares in a regulated fund or a company with an XRP treasury avoids the need to run custody systems in-house. Evernorth has become a focal point in that discussion. The venture, backed in part by Ripple, plans to build what it calls an institutional XRP treasury. Evernorth aims to purchase $1 billion worth of XRP and will start with over 560 million XRP after it secures $1.1 billion in committed capital from participants that include Ripple and SBI Holdings. Reports say the firm is pursuing a merger that is expected to close in Q1 2026, and the XRP purchases are planned to take place within 10 days of funding. ????

Reports have disclosed a 400% rise in stablecoin transfers on Ethereum over the last 30 days, pushing total transfer volume to $581 billion and more than 12.5 million transfers, according to Token Terminal. Related Reading: 16,000 Ancient Bitcoins Just Moved—And It’s Costing Whales Billions The stablecoin market cap on Ethereum now tops $163 billion. At the same time, Ethereum has fallen about 4.50% in the past week, and briefly tested support near $3,738, which some traders called a buying opportunity. Whales Step In With Large Buys On-chain trackers show heavy buying from large holders. A newly created wallet, 0x86Ed, spent $32 million to pick up 8,491 ETH in roughly three hours, based on Arkham Intelligence records. Another high-profile account monitored by LookOnChain moved 284K USDC into Hyperliquid after recent liquidations, apparently to maintain long exposure to ETH. Reports say October’s stablecoin transaction volume on Ethereum passed $1.91 trillion for the second time on record, a sign that big flows are still moving through the network. USDT usage on Ethereum is at an all-time high, with key metrics up ~400% from Sep ’23 lows. Monthly transfer volume in September was $580.9 billion & transfer count 12.5 million.

Some technicians have pointed to a triple bottom trading pattern around $3600, as well as the potential for a new accumulation reading from a Wycoff re-accumulation pattern which could lead to higher targets (notably $5125 at the 1.618 extension.

That said, chart patterns fail, on-chain movements may not lead to changes in price, and traders who remain cognizant of the ETH/BTC ratio, the invalidation line at $3443, and whether large transactions are transferring or being used for longer-term custody, may get more clarity in the coming sessions.

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, continues to trade slightly below the psychologically important $4,000 price level, following the brutal drawdown on October 9, which saw the digital currency test the support at around $3,435. Ethereum Stays Above Realized Price – Bullish Momentum Soon? According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor TeddyVision, Ethereum is trading above its Realized Price at approximately $2,300. Dubbing the price level a “fundamental support zone,” the analyst said that historically, any dips below this level have marked a capitulation phase. Related Reading: Here’s What Happens To The Ethereum Price If Bullish Momentum Holds For the uninitiated, Realized Price represents the average cost basis of all ETH holders, calculated by dividing the total value of all ETH at the time they last moved on-chain by the current circulating supply.  Realized Price effectively shows the “true” average price investors paid, serving as a key indicator of whether the market is in profit or loss. As long as ETH trades above Realized Price, the market structure is likely to remain bullish. The analyst also highlighted Ethereum’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio. Notably, ETH holders are currently, on average, at 67% profit relative to their cost basis. This metric gives two major hints about the current market. First, it shows that although the market is profitable, it is still far from “overheated” levels. Second, it indicates that market participants are confident about the market’s upward momentum, but not quite euphoric. To explain, the MVRV ratio compares the market value of an asset to its realized value. A higher MVRV indicates holders are sitting on larger unrealized profits – often signaling potential overvaluation – while a lower MVRV suggests undervaluation or market fear. Further, TeddyVision noted Ethereum’s reaction from the Upper Realized Price Band, which is currently located around $5,300. The analyst remarked: Price pulled back before reaching the “Overheating Zone. This isn’t a reversal – it’s a consolidation phase after distribution, a healthy cooldown without structural damage. Finally, spot inflows of ETH to crypto exchanges are also slowing down, hinting that the next leg up for the digital asset will likely depend on fresh liquidity, and not leverage. To sum it up, Ethereum is slowly moving from the distribution phase to the consolidation phase. Is It A Good Time To Buy ETH? While providing reliable future predictions in the crypto market remains a challenging task, fresh on-chain and exchange data point toward ETH regaining its bullish momentum. For instance, Binance funding rates recently hinted that ETH could surge to $6,800. Related Reading: Ethereum Poised For Breakout? SOPR Trend Hints At $5,000 Upside Similarly, ETH reserves on exchanges continue to fall at a rapid pace. Earlier this month, ETH supply on exchanges hit a multi-year low, increasing the probability of a potential “supply crunch” that can dramatically increase ETH’s price. That said, crypto analyst Nik Patel recently cautioned that ETH’s price correction may not yet be fully over. At press time, ETH trades at $3,849, up 0.3% in the past 24 hours.  Featured image from Unsplash, charts from CryptoQuant and TradingView.com

As the Bitcoin price continues to navigate market headwinds and consolidate above $108,000, analysts forecast that its next explosive move could trigger a full-scale altcoin season. Experts are now targeting a potential rise toward $200,000, identifying this new all-time high level as Bitcoin’s potential cycle top while suggesting that the cryptocurrency has yet to establish a definitive bottom.   Bitcoin Price Explosion To Ignite Biggest Altcoin Season Ever According to digital asset analyst CrediBULL Crypto, Bitcoin’s next parabolic surge could catalyze the biggest altcoin season the market has ever seen. The analyst shared an Elliott Wave chart analysis, showing that BTC is in the early stages of its final fifth wave, a phase that has historically delivered some of the most explosive price rallies in bull markets.  Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Supercycle Still In Play? Wave 3 Tells A Story Of A Surge Looking at the chart, the first subwave of Wave 5 has already produced a 37% gain, suggesting that the upcoming third and fifth subwaves could be significantly larger, potentially driving Bitcoin well above $150,000 and even toward the $200,000 mark. CrediBULL Crypto argued that such a bullish move will not be grounded in logic or fundamentals but in market psychology, specifically speculation, greed, and euphoria. He revealed that this emotional environment often leads to extreme volatility, which fuels liquidity rotation into alternative cryptocurrencies. Historically, when investors begin redirecting capital away from Bitcoin into altcoins after a BTC top, it typically sparks a full-blown altcoin season. Many smaller-cap assets experience rapid, exponential gains during this time, especially as the Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) declines temporarily.  CrediBULL Crypto emphasizes that this phase of irrational exuberance is a natural part of the market cycle. When the Bitcoin mania peaks, the resulting FOMO often drives investors to seek higher and faster yields in other assets. The analyst further added that as long as BTC continues to climb, altcoins are likely to follow suit.  Analyst Recommends Locking In Ahead Of The Rally In a prior analysis on X social media, CrediBULL Crypto reaffirmed his belief that the current market cycle top has not yet been reached. Despite recent volatility and market crash fueled by the devastating liquidation event on October 10, the analyst maintains that Bitcoin remains structurally bullish on High-Timeframes (HTFs).  Related Reading: Expert Says ‘The Time Has Come’, What Could Drive The Next Explosive Altcoin Season He noted that the recent market pullbacks could offer opportunities for traders affected by the liquidation cascade to rebuild positions ahead of the next explosive leg. He stated that even a small allocation, about 10% of their previous holdings, could yield substantial returns if the projected parabolic move unfolds.  CrediBULL Crypto has highlighted a critical invalidation level near $74,000, suggesting that as long as the Bitcoin price holds above this zone, its long-term uptrend remains intact. He doubled down on his bullish projection, insisting that the next major rally could propel BTC significantly above $150,000. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

In a shocking announcement yesterday, the Kadena team revealed that the organization is no longer able to continue business operations and will cease all activities immediately. Despite the company’s closure, the Kadena blockchain itself will remain operational, maintained by independent miners and developers under its decentralized proof-of-work structure. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Futures Indicator Signals Whales Are Going Long – Details The news sent shockwaves through the crypto community, triggering a massive sell-off in KDA, Kadena’s native token, which dropped by more than 55% within hours of the announcement. The drop effectively erased nearly all of Kadena’s price gains accumulated over the past five years, marking one of the most dramatic declines among major blockchain projects in recent memory. In its official statement, the Kadena team cited ongoing market conditions and the inability to sustain operations as key reasons for the shutdown. The organization will retain a small team to assist with the transition and ensure operational continuity while encouraging the community to take over governance and maintenance of the network. Kadena’s Future Now in the Hands of Its Community The Kadena team released further details on X, outlining the next steps for maintaining the network. The organization emphasized its commitment to ensuring operational continuity during this transition. They will soon release a new binary designed to allow the blockchain to function autonomously, without any central oversight. Node operators will be encouraged to upgrade promptly to guarantee uninterrupted operation. Despite the company’s closure, the Kadena blockchain and its native KDA token will continue to exist. More than 566 million KDA remain allocated for mining rewards, which the project will distribute gradually until 2139. Additionally, the project will release about 83.7 million currently locked tokens into circulation through November 2029. These emissions, combined with continued mining activity, suggest that the blockchain’s technical foundation will remain intact. However, the loss of the core development team introduces significant uncertainty regarding its future evolution. The Kadena team also invited the broader community to take an active role in governance and maintenance. Signaling a potential transition toward a more decentralized and community-led model. Time will tell if the ecosystem can sustain itself without centralized leadership. This event underscores the fragility of even well-established blockchain projects when faced with prolonged market headwinds and operational strain. While the network will technically survive, its long-term health now depends on whether miners, developers, and users rally to preserve Kadena’s infrastructure and vision — or allow it to fade into the background of blockchain history. Related Reading: XRP Whales Flood Binance With Massive Deposits – Selling Pressure Mounts KDA Price Collapses to Multi-Year Lows The weekly chart for Kadena (KDA) paints a devastating picture following the project’s announcement that it would cease business operations. KDA plummeted over 60% in a single week, dropping to around $0.08, marking its lowest level since mid-2020. This collapse effectively erased nearly all of the token’s five-year gains, with the sharp red candle underscoring the scale of panic selling across the market. From a technical perspective, the breakdown below the long-term support zone near $0.20 signals a complete loss of investor confidence. The surge in trading volume accompanying the fall highlights intense liquidation activity and capitulation from both long-term holders and speculative traders. The 50-day and 200-day moving averages remain far above current levels, confirming an extended bearish trend with no immediate signs of recovery. Related Reading: The Bitcoin OG Is Back – Opens Massive Short After $30M USDC Deposit Unless strong community-driven efforts emerge to stabilize the network and restore trust, KDA risks further downside pressure.

XRP flirted with stronger levels this week but slipped back as traders reassessed positions. According to a tweet by community figure Zach Rector, the next rally could arrive without much warning and push the token to a fresh all-time high. Related Reading: You Want $1K XRP? You’ll Need Iron Nerves — Or ‘Mental Illness’, Analyst Says Price was at $2.40 on Wednesday, down from $2.43, marking a 1.14% fall over 24 hours. Daily trading volume rose to $4.9 billion, up 6.39%. Community Response Divided Reactions to Rector’s claim were split. Some holders sounded upbeat and said they would be “caught off guard” in a good way. Others pushed back, arguing that similar optimism has circulated for years with no sustained break above prior highs. Based on reports in the thread, one user said the prediction has been repeated for five years and has not yet come true. Another warned that XRP needs to reclaim $3 before talk of new records makes sense. The XRP pump to new all time highs will catch so many people off guard. — Zach Rector (@ZachRector7) October 20, 2025 Volume Signals And Price Action Market data gives a mixed picture. XRP is up 3.90% over the last seven days, and its market cap sits near $144 billion. Volume jumped even as price eased, a pattern traders often link to profit-taking or position changes ahead of bigger moves. Some market watchers see the higher volume as preparatory trading; others view it as a sign of selling pressure. Either way, the numbers show more activity than price movement alone would suggest. Regulatory And Macro Headwinds Reports have disclosed that broader events have affected XRP recently. The token dropped to an 11-month low after an announcement tied to tariffs from US President Donald Trump, and it has not fully recovered since. Several commenters on the thread tied XRP’s future to global trade ties and legislative progress in the US—factors outside trading charts that can still weigh on token demand. Bitcoin’s pull is also mentioned often; when Bitcoin weakens, many altcoins find it harder to launch on their own.

Reclaiming $3 is seen as a short-term test; moving past that would still leave a long road toward new highs. There are pockets of optimism based on Ripple’s expanding partnerships in banking and payments, which supporters argue could support higher prices when market sentiment improves. In short, observers are split between hopeful holders and cautious skeptics. According to community chatter and the live figures, momentum is present but uneven. XRP’s path higher will likely require both favorable market moves and clearer macro or regulatory signals. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has had a turbulent week as the broader altcoin market faces intense selling pressure. After weeks of steady growth, the token is now testing key support levels, with bulls struggling to regain control. Despite the ongoing correction across the crypto landscape, sentiment around Hyperliquid remains mixed — while traders brace for more downside, some optimistic analysts see potential for recovery in the coming weeks. Related Reading: The Bitcoin OG Is Back – Opens Massive Short After $30M USDC Deposit According to fresh data from CryptoQuant, whales are going long on HYPE, signaling renewed confidence among large investors even as retail sentiment weakens. These whale moves often mark the early stages of a rebound, especially when they occur during heightened volatility. Analysts note that such positioning can indicate that smart money is preparing for a potential market reversal, or at least for a relief rally once selling pressure cools off. Still, the short-term outlook remains uncertain. With the market environment dominated by fear and liquidity thinning out, Hyperliquid’s price action in the coming days will be critical in determining whether it can hold its current support zone or if another leg down awaits. For now, all eyes are on whale behavior — and what it might be signaling next. Big Players Bet on a Hyperliquid Rebound Altcoin data analyst Kate Young Ju shared fresh insights into Hyperliquid’s futures market, revealing that the average order size has significantly increased, signaling that large investors — or “big players” — are positioning for a potential price surge. According to the data, institutional-scale orders have become more frequent over the past week, a clear indication that market participants with deep capital are starting to take calculated long positions despite the ongoing volatility. This comes after a remarkable year for Hyperliquid, which has rapidly emerged as one of the most innovative decentralized perpetual exchanges in the market. Built on its own high-performance Layer 1, Hyperliquid has attracted both traders and liquidity providers through features like zero gas fees, fast settlement, and native HYPE staking rewards. Since its early 2025 rally, the protocol has seen exponential growth in trading volumes and community engagement, solidifying its position among top DeFi derivatives platforms. The rise in futures order size reflects growing confidence that HYPE may recover from its recent drawdown. Historically, such activity often precedes a reversal, as whales and sophisticated traders tend to accumulate during market uncertainty. This accumulation phase suggests a potential shift in momentum — where smart money is preparing for the next leg up while retail sentiment remains cautious. If Hyperliquid’s price action stabilizes and macro conditions improve, this whale-driven accumulation could act as the foundation for a strong rebound phase. However, analysts warn that a lack of follow-through from retail traders or a broader crypto selloff could still dampen short-term momentum. For now, the data paints a compelling picture: big players are quietly betting that Hyperliquid’s story isn’t over — it might just be entering its next major chapter.

HYPE Analysis: Testing Key Support After Weeks of Volatility Hyperliquid (HYPE) is currently trading around $35.6, down more than 6% on the day, as the token continues to face heavy selling pressure. The daily chart reveals that HYPE has entered a critical support zone near the 200-day moving average (red line), which sits around $34–$35. This level has acted as a strong base during previous corrections, particularly during April and July, when similar pullbacks led to renewed bullish momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Rely on STH Realized Price Support Cluster: Loss Could Trigger $100K Retest However, price action has weakened notably after failing to reclaim the 50-day moving average (blue line) near $42, turning it into short-term resistance. The series of lower highs and sharp rejections from this zone highlight a market struggling to regain confidence. On a broader view, HYPE remains in an uptrend, but the structure is under pressure. If the token manages to consolidate above $35, it could attract buyers aiming for a rebound toward the $40–$42 area. Conversely, a breakdown below $34 could accelerate losses toward $28, the next significant support level. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

A US investor says he lost $3 million in XRP after hackers emptied his wallet, and blockchain tracking suggests the funds moved fast through shadowy over-the-counter networks tied to Southeast Asia. Related Reading: Biggest Shiba Inu Burn In Months — And It Came From A Coinbase Account Funds Traced To OTC Networks According to blockchain sleuth ZachXBT, the stolen coins were first pooled into a single Tron address and then pushed through OTC services linked to an illicit marketplace known as Huione Guarantee. Reports have disclosed that Huione Guarantee is tied to a range of criminal activity, and that once funds enter those channels they are very hard to recover. The trace provides a clear record of movement on public ledgers, but it does not guarantee that law enforcement can follow the money to its final holders. 9/ Unfortunately the likelihood of this victim seeing any funds recovered is rather low due to a delay in reporting the theft to competent people within the private sector. I recommend victims try to report theft addresses to people as soon as possible as otherwise it can be… pic.twitter.com/Ficcit611f — ZachXBT (@zachxbt) October 19, 2025 Victim Says He Followed Best Practices Brandon LaRoque, the investor at the center of the case, told viewers that he had built his position over eight years and held about 1.2 million XRP. He posted a video this week explaining the loss, which has drawn wide attention online. “I thought I did all the things right,” he said, after describing how his Ellipal device turned out to be connected to the internet. The device maker, Ellipal, acknowledged that the seed phrase was imported into an app and said it was doing everything possible to help. Based on reports, the company suggested the theft followed a misuse of the seed rather than a flaw in a strictly offline product. A Human Cost LaRoque said he and his wife retired about a year ago and were planning to buy a house in Las Vegas. Now they say they may need to return to work. The loss is a stark example of how long-term small investors can be swept away by a single security lapse. The emotional impact is real. Many viewers on social platforms have offered help, but experts warn that public attention does not equal recovery. Experts Urge Caution On Recovery Firms According to ZachXBT, victims who want to pursue recovery must move quickly and seek competent private investigators, while avoiding predatory firms that promise guaranteed returns. Tracing on the blockchain can show where funds went next, and it can expose links to mixing services or OTC desks, but converting that trace into arrests or asset returns is complex. In the US, access to specialized crypto law enforcement is limited, which reduces the odds of successful recovery in many cross-border theft cases. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Moment?

XRP has shown some signs of recovery over the past 48 hours, climbing about 5.3 % from its recent low, according to on-chain analytics platform Santiment. The rebound comes as investor confidence appears to be returning, as it coincides with a steady rise in mid to large-sized XRP holders. Particularly, on-chain data shows that the XRP ecosystem now has more than 317,500 wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP tokens for the first time in its history. Related Reading: Bitcoin Plunges To $105k As Investors Shift To Gold After Crypto Carnage Mid To Large XRP Holders Reach Record 317,500 Wallets Despite XRP’s recent price woes alongside the rest of the crypto market, on-chain data shows that XRP’s holder base is increasing among crypto investors. Notably, Santiment’s latest data shows that the number of XRP wallets holding at least 10,000 tokens has reached an all-time high of approximately 317,500.  Santiment’s data chart, as shown below, indicates that XRP’s network has added approximately 1.8% more wallets holding 10,000 or more tokens in just the last thirty days. Interestingly, Santiment’s data further shows that the upward slope of this metric has been consistent throughout 2025. The increase in mid-sized and large wallet count shows that many XRP investors are not concerned about the recent price dips. Instead, many of them are taking advantage of lower prices to strengthen their holdings. As such, a growing segment of investors are buying XRP for long-term gains rather than short-term price action. XRP, which is currently hovering around the $2.35 range, may benefit from this growing base of committed holders in the long term. Its price trajectory now depends on its ability to sustain momentum above $2.3. If the bullish on-chain sentiment translates into consistent buy pressure, XRP could extend its rebound and target at least $2.8 before the end of the week. However, if momentum stalls, the price may enter another downward phase before an upward move. Nonetheless, the record growth in wallets holding over 10,000 XRP provides a strong long-term foundation that may support the cryptocurrency’s value in the coming weeks. Number of 10K+ XRP Wallets.

The deal will bring GTreasury’s treasury-management software, used by global corporations to manage liquidity, cash forecasting, payments and risk, into Ripple’s infrastructure suite. Related Reading: Biggest Shiba Inu Burn In Months — And It Came From A Coinbase Account GTreasury serves over 1,000 customers across about 160 countries and has more than 40 years’ experience in corporate treasury operations.

There are also reports that Ripple is planning to raise $1 billion to build an XRP treasury. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $2.35. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

XRP has found itself back under the microscope as bullish momentum is yet to return with full force. Another weekend is here, and XRP’s price action is still perambulating around last weekend’s flash crash, which saw the cryptocurrency register its biggest liquidation candlestick in history.  Now, XRP is trying to recover to higher price levels above $2. Interestingly, one technical analysis warns that, before any major rebound, the price of XRP could suffer a severe decline, possibly down as much as 40%. While such a drop would be painful for holders, the scenario is being cast not as a permanent collapse but as a capitulation move that might precede a stronger rally. Related Reading: Biggest Shiba Inu Burn In Months — And It Came From A Coinbase Account Worst Case Scenario What transpired last weekend in the crypto markets qualifies as the largest deleveraging event in recent memory. Leveraged positions were forcibly closed out across many exchanges, leading to cascading liquidations that sent price action into a free fall. As such, about $19 billion in positions was wiped out in the span of hours. In XRP’s case, that intense pressure led to a violent plunge that created a deep low wick to break below $1.6 on its price chart before a quick rebound above $2.2. That wick is central to the argument that the forced selling squeezed both longs and shorts, clearing excess leverage and setting the stage for price discovery to reset. However, a suggestion is that the worst may not yet be fully priced in, and that this purge might continue deeper before sentiment truly turns  bullish. This worst-case scenario outlook is based on an analysis by Steph Is Crypto that envisions another possible 40% crash in the XRP price. As shown in the price chart below, XRP’s price action might fall to revisit last weekend flash crash bottom just above $1.55. This price level may represent the deepest downside target before the market catches its footing again. If current levels give way, say if XRP loses its more immediate support zones at $2.2 and $2, the descent toward that boundary would amount to a drop of about 30 to 40%. XRP Price Chart Analysis. Source: Steph Is Crypto on X What’s Next After The Crash? The wick already formed by the sudden flash crash is interpreted as an initial flush of stops, but the full erosion of weak hands might still have room to run. Only after that purge can a more sustainable rebound be believable. Related Reading: Bitcoin Plunges To $105k As Investors Shift To Gold After Crypto Carnage If the worst-case scenario plays out, the path forward would require XRP to first establish strong support near or around $1.55, shake off residual volatility, and then gather volume and momentum for the next leg upward. From here, the analyst projected an extended rally that will see the XRP price break into new all-time highs above $3.8. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.35, up by 4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from TradingView

The Dogecoin price could be gearing up for an explosive move soon, as technical analysts suggest that the popular meme coin may be entering another parabolic cycle. While the broader crypto market declines, analysts believe Dogecoin’s historical patterns and price structures are setting the stage for a potential 2,000% rally that could see it soar as high as $4 by next year.   Related Reading: Bitcoin Plunges To $105k As Investors Shift To Gold After Crypto Carnage Dogecoin Price To Mirror Pre-2017 Explosive Surge Crypto analyst Javon Marks has indicated that Dogecoin’s price action is closely mirroring the bullish setup that preceded its historic price rally in 2017. If this pattern continues, he predicts that the cryptocurrency may be preparing for its next cyclical surge to new all-time highs and beyond.  Marks points out that Dogecoin’s long-term structure is forming a massive cup-shaped base, which historically has paved the way for significant bull runs. His analysis forecasts a minimum 251% increase in the near term, with a potential 2,000% surge over a longer timeframe, should the historical pattern unfold as it did in the past.  The analyst’s accompanying chart illustrates a recurring accumulation pattern where Dogecoin consolidates for years before breaking out sharply. The price history between 2014 and 2017 is being mirrored by the 2022 – 2025 formation, where the meme coin appears to be carving out a rounded bottom and a consolidation triangle. Once price action completes this structure, Marks predicts that a breakout toward $4 is technically possible.  Notably, Dogecoin’s resilience between its current price at $0.18 and $0.3 may act as a launchpad for the next parabolic phase, especially if the overall market sentiment turns bullish in 2026. As of the time of writing, CoinMarketCap’s data indicates that the meme coin’s price has increased by 5.53% over the past 24 hours, marking a slight recovery from its monthly decline of over 33%.  Analysts Share Different Outlooks For Dogecoin A separate analysis by market experts presents a slightly different outlook for Dogecoin, with one expert expecting a moderate price surge and another predicting a potential breakdown. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez views Dogecoin’s current structure as part of a steady, upward-trending price channel. He highlighted that DOGE continues to trade within an ascending range established since early 2023. This framework implies that the meme coin remains technically bullish despite short-term corrections.  In his analysis, Martinez identifies moderate but critical upside checkpoints at $0.29, $0.45, and $0.86, based on the Fibonacci retracement and extension levels. His chart illustrates how Dogecoin has repeatedly bounced off the lower boundary of the channel, mostly near $0.18, indicating strong buyer interest in that zone. Notably, the analyst forecasts that a rebound from this area could set the stage for gradual advances toward $1 in the coming months.   Market expert Bitguru adds a note of caution, observing that the $0.18 – $0.19 region is acting as a make-or-break level for bulls. A decisive drop below it could expose Dogecoin’s price to a deeper retracement toward $0.095. The analyst advises traders to remain vigilant, noting that DOGE still appears to be in a corrective phase.  Related Reading: Biggest Shiba Inu Burn In Months — And It Came From A Coinbase Account Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

According to reports, Ripple is moving into corporate treasury services with an acquisition valued at $1 billion. The purchase, tied to a treasury management firm, has prompted some market educators to lay out aggressive price scenarios for XRP, including a top-end projection of $1,000+. Related Reading: Biggest Shiba Inu Burn In Months — And It Came From A Coinbase Account Ripple Hits Corporate Treasury A crypto educator who posts under the name “X Finance Bull” has mapped out a sequence of price milestones. Based on his outline, investors might see XRP trade near $2 to $3 in the immediate phase, climb to $5–$10 over a longer stretch, and reach $20–$100+ in a bullish expansion. The educator then presents a theoretical maximum of $1,000+ if XRP were to capture a major share of corporate treasury flows. These figures are being shared widely, often without the caveats that would temper expectations. ????THIS IS WHERE IT BEGINS! ???? $XRP is about to go parabolic to $1,000 and beyond! Ripple just acquired GTreasury for $1B This is a domino that sets off the biggest capital flow event in crypto history Make sure BUY every dips of $XRP! Here’s what most aren’t seeing ???????? pic.twitter.com/6qs5KjKWgp — X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) October 16, 2025 Why The Move Matters The logic behind the bullish scenario is straightforward at a glance. If Ripple ties its software and token into treasury operations used by large firms, demand for on-ledger liquidity could rise. Corporations handling cash, currency conversion, and liquidity tend to move very large sums. People in markets point out that tapping into those flows can change adoption dynamics for a token. Still, adoption at scale, legal clarity, and real usage patterns would all have to align for token prices to rise dramatically. Bull Case And Numbers Supporters highlight the $1 billion price tag of the deal as proof that Ripple sees enterprise opportunity. They argue that treasury customers could need fast settlement rails and that XRPL tools might fit into those processes. The educator’s projections include concrete bands: $2 to $3 early, $5–10 mid, and $20–$100+ later. But those bands assume broad corporate adoption and token demand patterns that are not yet proven. Market caps implied by a $1,000+ XRP would be orders of magnitude larger than today’s totals, unless the circulating supply shrinks or new economic models are introduced. Related Reading: Bitcoin Plunges To $105k As Investors Shift To Gold After Crypto Carnage Regulatory Signals Regulatory signals are a key variable. Courts and regulators have begun to clarify how tokens are treated in various jurisdictions, and that treatment will shape institutional appetite. Also important are integration details: how the token is used in treasury software, whether firms hold or simply pass through XRP, and how custody and risk models adapt to tokenized liquidity. Each of those steps can either support price appreciation or leave the token’s value marginal to enterprise operations. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Crypto analyst Remi has predicted that the XRP price could hit $1,200. The analyst also highlighted factors that could spark this 50,000% increase for the altcoin even as it crashes alongside the broader crypto market at the moment.  Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $1,200, Here’s Why In an X post, Remi stated that the charts are now showing that an E-wave rally to $1,200 for the XRP price. The analyst noted that in 2017, the altcoin recorded a 76,000% gain, with no utility and driven solely by retail speculation. However, this time around, XRP only needs a 50,000% gain to reach this target, and it has utility and institutional FOMO, which makes this projected target more promising.  Related Reading: Analyst Reveals The Chances Of The XRP Price Rallying 300% To $9 This Bull Run This institutional FOMO is expected to come through the XRP ETFs, which are set to be approved by the SEC once the U.S. government shutdown ends. While these funds are expected to drive new liquidity into the XRP ecosystem, it remains to be seen how much impact they will have on the XRP price.  Meanwhile, Remi advised XRP holders to take profits as the XRP price records this projected parabolic rally. He added that they should take profits at different intervals, because a black swan event could happen out of nowhere before they reach the ‘E Wave.’ The analyst also mentioned that no one can ever time the top, which is why it is best to take profits along the way up.  This XRP price prediction comes as the altcoin declines alongside the broader crypto market. XRP is trading just above the psychological $2 level as trade tensions between the U.S. and China, along with other macro factors such as the prolonged U.S. government shutdown, spark bearish sentiment in the market.  XRP Could See Another Leg Down Before A Reversal Crypto analyst CasiTrades indicated that the XRP price could see another leg down before any bullish reversal. This came as she noted that the altcoin isn’t showing the strength that would invalidate the final wave down, and that price is stalling right around the Wave 4 resistance levels.  Related Reading: The XRP Price Roadmap To $8: How An Over 50% Bounce Could Materialize CasiTrades further stated that if the current XRP price action were a deep V-shaped recovery, then there should have been a strong breakout above key resistance at $2.82. However, that breakout hasn’t come, which is why she is leaning towards the market needing one more wave down for full exhaustion and a change of sentiment. The analyst predicted that a retest of the .618 retracement around $1.46 or the golden pocket near $1.35 is possible for the next wave down. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.33, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
