Ethereum has shown signs of regaining momentum after a recent period of decline. The asset is currently trading at approximately $2,540, reflecting a modest 1% daily increase. This upward move follows a notable dip to the $2,400 range last week, marking what appears to be a short-term rebound from recent bearish pressure. While price fluctuations continue, on-chain analysts closely monitor Ethereum’s market structure through various metrics that provide historical context and potential forecasting value. Recent insights from a CryptoQuant analyst have focused on how ETH’s long-term behavior aligns with certain key indicators, which may help define price floors and signal overheated market conditions. Related Reading: Bitcoin And Ethereum Defend Key Moving Averages – Bullish Signal Or Temporary Relief? Assessing Ethereum Price Floors Using On-Chain Data One of CryptoQuant’s analysts, writing under the name CryptoOnchain, shared a breakdown of Ethereum’s potential “price floors” using a composite of on-chain and market metrics. These floors represent statistical thresholds that have historically acted as support zones during market corrections. Among them is the realized price, which measures the average value at which all circulating ETH last moved on-chain. This metric is often used as a sentiment gauge to track when market participants are in profit or loss. Another benchmark, the mean_price_classic, reflects the average daily closing price of ETH since inception and serves as a cumulative market average. It is used in conjunction with the delta_price_classic, a figure derived from the difference between Ethereum’s realized capitalization and its historical average cap, adjusted for supply. According to the analyst, this delta price is frequently cited in Bitcoin analytics to highlight undervalued zones, and its adaptation for Ethereum provides a comparable lens for identifying periods when the market may be at or near a floor. Tracking Market Tops and Potential Resistance Zones In a separate analysis report, CryptoOnchain highlighted tools for identifying potential market tops. The indicators outlined include the realized_price_x2 and realized_price_x3, which are calculated by multiplying Ethereum’s realized price by two and three, respectively. Historically, these levels have coincided with overheated phases of the market, where prices reached temporary peaks before correcting. Related Reading: Ethereum Consolidates Below $2,800 – Bulls Need This Level To Trigger Next Leg Up Another tool, the price_top_stddev, incorporates volatility into the analysis by adding two times the historical standard deviation of ETH’s closing price to the realized price. This combination serves as a marker of statistically elevated prices, often aligning with periods of heightened euphoria and speculative activity. CryptoOnchain suggests that monitoring these zones can assist traders in managing risk during extended rallies, as these resistance levels have previously preceded major cycle reversals.

Despite Bitcoin’s historic rise above the $100,000 mark in early 2025, a growing number of crypto investors are left wondering when the long-anticipated altcoin season will begin. At the time of writing, the altcoin season index from BlockchainCenter has now dipped to a reading of 20, far below the 75 threshold typically required to confirm the start of an altcoin season.  In a detailed post on social media platform X, van de Poppe addressed what is one of the most frequently asked questions in the crypto industry today: “When altseason?” Altcoin Season Missing Despite Bull Market Conditions According to analyst Michaël van de Poppe, this cycle has deviated significantly from historical patterns. His response to the growing question of an altcoin season relays the fact that while Bitcoin has made gains, the altcoin market continues to lag significantly behind, raising doubts about whether a true altseason will even arrive this cycle. Related Reading: Certified Analyst Says Bitcoin Dominance Could Reverse At 64% – Is It Time For Altcoin Season? In past cycles, altcoins followed Bitcoin’s rally within weeks or months. However, 2024 and the early part of 2025 have proven to be different. This, in turn, has been many investors expecting this cycle to play out the same getting hammered and losing their patience. Although some new meme coins had their brief moments of explosive growth in late 2024, the broader altcoin market has been largely suppressed since late 2021. Van de Poppe explains that most older altcoins failed to match Bitcoin’s performance in 2021, and that trend has only worsened in the current cycle. This has somewhat changed the expectation of a typical four-year cycle rhythm. The tables have turned and other variables need to be taken into account for investors looking to get a significant return in those markets. Bitcoin Dominance And Sentiment Imbalance Holding Altcoins Back One of the clearest reasons for the delay in altseason is Bitcoin’s overwhelming dominance. As the Altcoin Season Index indicates, the metric remains significantly below the 25 threshold line and firmly entrenched in Bitcoin Season territory. Van de Poppe attributes this not just to price action, but also to macro-level shifts, such as interest rate regimes and monetary policy from central banks. For now, there’s still much upside potential for Bitcoin, especially if the Fed interest rates were to go down from their current 4% levels. Related Reading: Is Altcoin Season Over Or It Never Started? Here’s What Historical Data Says In his view, the current market is divided into two camps: those expecting a bear market and those who believe the bull run is just beginning. Both could be wrong, he warns, because the game has changed. If there are so many factors going into negative sentiment, that’s actually a sign to allocate funds into altcoins. Keeping this in mind, the best time to invest in altcoins would be now, when the altcoin season isn’t showing any signs. Van de Poppe concludes that altseason isn’t just a timeframe but a phase where patient investors accumulate undervalued cryptocurrencies before the rest of the market catches on.  When the altcoin season eventually rolls in, it will come unannounced.

The XRP price is holding strongly above $2, maintaining its momentum as technical indicators show signs of a bullish trend. Notably, a distinct Falling Channel on the XRP price chart suggests that a breakout could be brewing, with a potential rally toward $3.8 in sight.   XRP Price Holds Steady As Bulls Target $3.8  A technical analysis by Rose Premium Signals reveals that XRP is currently flashing strong bullish signals following a breakout from a long-term Falling Channel. Earlier in January, XRP broke past $3 but experienced a strong correction that has kept its price down ever since. Despite the ongoing downtrend, XRP has been firmly holding above the $2 threshold as it prepares for new all-time highs. Related Reading: What Happens To The XRP Price If The 2017 Fractal Plays Out Again? Previously, XRP traded within a descending range for several months, forming lower highs and lower lows. However, recent price action has seemingly invalidated this downtrend structure with a decisive breakout above the upper boundary of the Falling Channel, indicating a potential trend reversal and the beginning of a bullish continuation. The chart shared by Rose Premium Signals on X (formerly Twitter) shows that after the breakout, XRP has been consolidating above the former resistance-turned-support zone, around the $2 level. The analyst confidently states that XRP’s outlook remains inherently bullish despite past downtrends, suggesting that the recent consolidation pattern indicates that bulls are still in control.  Notably, the breakout above the Falling Channel is significant, as it typically implies a strong upside move, especially on higher time frames. Projected price targets based on technical formation are positioned at $2.9520, $3.3967, and $3.8767. Interestingly, the highest projected target exceeds XRP’s all-time high of $3.84 and reflects a 73.54% increase from current price levels.  It’s important to note that these bullish targets forecasted by Rose Premium Signals align with historical resistance zones and measured moves from the Falling Channel breakout. If momentum sustains and market conditions remain favorable, XRP could rally toward these targets over the coming weeks, potentially offering significant upside for long-term holders and traders.  Analyst Says Buy The Dip, With Ideal Entry At $1.85 While forecasting several optimistic targets for XRP, Rose Premium Signals emphasized a strategy of buying the altcoin during dips. This method aims to capitalize on low price points to maximize potential gains as XRP rebounds.  Related Reading: Wave Count Analysis Reveals The XRP Price Trigger Point For Take-Off The analyst‘s chart highlights the $1.85 support level with a clear “Buy Here” label, suggesting that this level is considered an ideal entry point should the price revisit it. Currently, XRP is trading at $2.23, meaning a drop to $1.85 would represent a 17.04% decrease. According to the analysis, this support level also marks the base of the recent Falling Channel breakout, providing a favorable risk-reward setup for those looking to enter or expand their positions.

Pi Network members are becoming increasingly agitated after they found zero balances of their tokens in their wallets. They went through KYC verifications and switched to mainnet as directed. Related Reading: Elon Musk ‘Will Do Anything’ To Make XRP King, Tech Mogul Says However, numerous users find nothing in their accounts. The problem has caused a wave of complaints on the internet and a call for concrete explanations. Users Report Missing Pi Balances According to community reports, hundreds of posts show zero tokens even after following every step. Some users say they waited days. Others say they’ve waited weeks. All of them finished KYC and locked in their accounts on mainnet. Yet their wallets still read “0.00 Pi.” The lack of visible tokens has left many feeling shut out. Stop talking nonsense. I don’t want to hear it. Give me back that damn $Pi. I’ve worked hard for six years. You still haven’t mapped it for me until now. What’s your reason for constantly delaying? Mapping is the right of every pioneer. Hurry up and map it #Pinetwork Oh my god. pic.twitter.com/FBQiWAPtwF — HaiFeng Chen (@haifeng8283) June 5, 2025 Wallet Confusion Deepens Concern Based on reports, some accounts now link to more than one wallet address. That has users scratching their heads. One person found two wallets under the same profile. Another spotted three. It’s raising questions over how safe the system is. Users are worried they might lose tokens or fall into a trap. Foundation Moves 277 Million Pi Coins Blockchain data shows that the Pi Foundation’s wallet ending in “ODM” transferred 276,500,000 Pi coins recently. A withdrawal of 7,380,000 Pi by the same address happened today. According to on-chain records, weekly withdrawals of large amounts have taken place from OKX exchange. The purpose of these moves remains unexplained by the Pi Core Team. Community Demands Clear Answers Community members note it’s been three months without a detailed update from the project’s leaders. They want dates, explanations, and plans. Some posts urge the team to post a public timeline. Others demand live Q&A sessions. The calls are loud enough to push the topic onto the trending list on social media. Team Issues Wallet Safety Tips Pi Network’s support channels recently posted a list of wallet safety tips. They discussed good practices for passwords and how to identify phishing. But they failed to address why tokens are concealed. The tips also failed to discuss the sudden emergence of numerous wallets per user. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Hit $180,000 In 2025? Analyst Highlights The Trigger What Happens Next Based on user feedback, the project will likely face pressure in the coming days. Some community members say they will pause mining until they see their balances. Others say they’ll shift their attention to rival projects. Nothing has been confirmed by the Pi Core Team beyond the safety note. It remains unclear when users will see their Pi tokens or receive a full breakdown of those massive transfers. The situation will be one to watch as the network works to rebuild trust. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Popular market analyst Ted Pillows has tipped Sui (SUI) for an impending price breakout. Notably, the prominent altcoin has recorded a steady price decline in the past month with an estimated loss of 17.18% within this period. However, Pillows notes the formation of a bullish pattern which indicates substantial market relief ahead. Related Reading: SUI Rally At Risk? Analysts Warn Of 30% Dip If This Level Doesn’t Hold SUI Gathers Momentum Ahead Of Showdown With Resistance In an X post on June 7, Pillows shares a positive insight into the SUI market despite a sustained downtrend throughout May and early June. The analyst notes that SUI appears to hit local bottom within the $2.8-$3.0 following a slight rebound in the past 48 hours.  Interestingly, this recent price action could signal market reversal especially considering the formation of a bullish descending wedge pattern on the SUI daily chart. For context, the descending wedge is a classic bullish reversal pattern marked by two converging trend lines sloping downward as seen in the chart below. The price action within the wedge which typically consists of lower highs and lower lows but the decreasing slope of the lows signal a weakening bearish pressure. Considering the rebound from the $2.8 which represents the lower boundary of the descending wedge and the narrowing of both trend lines, Pillows postulates SUI is preparing for a major upside price breakout. However, the altcoin must overcome a crucial resistance at $3.5 price level which represents the upper boundary of the descending wedge pattern. Pillows explains that a successful daily price close above $3.5 is likely to trigger a robust buying pressure that could force a SUI market rally for the next 2-3 weeks leading to a new all-time high.  Based on the analysis presented, initial price targets are set at $4.00 indicating an instant return to the peak price region in May. However, with Pillows’ analysis hinting at a new all-time high, investors should expect any potential price breakout to hit a minimum price target of $5.21 representing a 60.8% gain on present market prices. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says This Bitcoin Top Signal Hasn’t Gone Off Yet — What To Know SUI Price Overview At the time of writing, SUI trades at $3.23 representing a 2.33% gain in the past day. However, weekly and monthly losses of 1.01% and 17.10%, respectively suggests the altcoin still has ground to make up. Nevertheless, SUI remains one of the best performing tokens of the present market cycle with potential star of the altseason considering its 211.11% in the last year.  Featured image from Binance Academy, chart from Tradingview

Ethereum’s recent price action on the 4-hour chart has led to the formation of a classic Head and Shoulders pattern that opens up the possibility of a deeper correction. After a relatively stable period around the $2,500 zone, Ethereum broke below a neckline support level as last week drew to a close. This raises the question of whether a bearish continuation is already in motion for the Ethereum price or if bulls still have a shot at regaining momentum in the new week. Related Reading: Elon Musk ‘Will Do Anything’ To Make XRP King, Tech Mogul Says Head & Shoulders Pattern Confirmed After Breakdown Below $2,480 The Head and Shoulders pattern, one of the most recognizable reversal formations in technical analysis, is now clearly visible on Ethereum’s 4-hour candlestick chart. This chart and the technical outlook were first shared on the TradingView platform by crypto analyst MelikaTrader94. The structure includes a left shoulder, a prominent head peaking above $2,700, and a right shoulder that topped near $2,650. The neckline, drawn around $2,480, was breached during Ethereum’s recent pullback to $2,380. This, in turn, shifted the short-term outlook toward the bearish side. After the break, Ethereum attempted to reclaim lost ground and is currently retesting the neckline area. This retest around $2,500 is significant, as a failure to push back above this level significantly would likely validate the bearish setup and cause the Ethereum price to reverse downwards toward the next support zone. According to the outlook from analyst MelikaTrader94, the price target from this Head and Shoulders breakdown before any notable rebound upward can occur lies between $2,200 and $2,250.  Chart Image From TradingView: MelikaTrader94 Bulls Must Reclaim $2,650 To Invalidate Bearish Setup A confluence of factors supports the $2,200 region as a likely landing zone. Not only is this level consistent with the measured move of the Head and Shoulders pattern, but it also aligns with an order block on May 9 during Ethereum’s rally above $2,000 at the time. This adds further technical relevance to the $2,200 to $2,250 range acting as a support zone. However, the situation is not fully bearish yet. The path forward is clear but narrow for Ethereum bulls. The first step to invalidate the bearish setup is to reclaim the neckline around $2,500 decisively. Beyond that, breaking back above the right shoulder level around $2,650 would invalidate the Head and Shoulders pattern, and another pattern will most likely come into play.  Related Reading: Bitcoin To Hit $180,000 In 2025? Analyst Highlights The Trigger A successful bullish reclaim would not only nullify the bearish pattern but could also revive sentiment for another retest of the $2,700 to $2,800 zone, which corresponds to the peak of the head in the recently formed pattern. Until such a recovery occurs, the Ethereum price can quickly reverse downwards at any time. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,510.

Technical analysis of Dogecoin’s price action shows that Dogecoin bulls are currently working hard to register a break above the $0.2 resistance price level. However, beyond the immediate battle at the $0.20 resistance, a broader technical perspective presents a far more interesting possibility of Dogecoin reaching new all-time highs very soon. Specifically, the technical analysis of Dogecoin’s monthly candlestick timeframe chart indicates that its price is currently in the formation of a rally between June and July 2025. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Hit $180,000 In 2025? Analyst Highlights The Trigger Analyst Spots Recurring 3-Month Uptick, 5-Month Pullback Formation A technical analysis of Dogecoin’s monthly candlestick chart, first shared by crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade on the social media platform X, identifies a fascinating recurring pattern for the meme coin’s price. According to the analyst, Dogecoin has now completed two price cycles since late 2023, each consisting of a 3-month pump followed by a 5-month pullback.  This rhythmic pattern first played out between December 2023 and August 2024. Dogecoin experienced a strong price surge from December to February, followed by a prolonged pullback that lasted from March to July. It followed a similar trajectory between August 2024 up until recently in May 2025, where three months of bullish momentum were followed by five months of bearish price action. The last monthly candlestick helped to confirm this setup, especially after May ended with a positive 11.7% close from its open price. As such, the next outlook is the continuation of this rally in June 2025.  Each of the previous 3-month rallies has produced notable upside, with the most recent cycle in 2024 pushing Dogecoin’s price from below $0.08 to a multi-year high around $0.48 in just three months. If this cyclical behavior continues, Dogecoin could be gearing up for a comparable bullish leg in June and July, which would eventually cause it to break into new all-time highs. Chart Image From X: Trader Tardigrade Dogecoin To Repeat History With June/July Rally The notion that history could repeat itself is not new to crypto traders, but in Dogecoin’s case, the visual alignment of price action over time is hard to ignore. Keeping this possibility in mind, a repeat of the previous rally in Q4 2024 will be enough to send the Dogecoin price above resistance levels at $0.22, $0.3, and finally at $0.48. Related Reading: Elon Musk ‘Will Do Anything’ To Make XRP King, Tech Mogul Says Notably, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade projected a run-up to $0.3 in June. A successful breach above this level could confirm the start of the next bullish cycle for Dogecoin, and Trader Tardigrade projected a peak price above $0.75 in July 2025. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.184, with a price increase of 0.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

XRP is currently showing signs of vulnerability as its recent price action is becoming increasingly bearish. After attempting to reclaim upside momentum above $ 2.60 in May, the cryptocurrency has struggled to maintain this run, and its price action over the past few days has brought it close to losing the $2.10 price level. Notably, the price action has resulted in the formation of a head and shoulders pattern on the daily candlestick chart. This might be the final straw that finally sends the XRP price plummeting below $2. Related Reading: Bitcoin Scarcity May Spark Explosive Surge, Bank Study Shows XRP Breaks Head And Shoulders Neckline As identified by a crypto analyst on the social media platform X, XRP has now printed a classic head and shoulders formation, with clearly defined symmetry between the left shoulder, head, and right shoulder. The head and shoulders formation began taking shape in late April, when the price climbed to $2.26 to become the left shoulder of the pattern. In early to mid-May, XRP surged above $2.60 to create the head of the formation and what appeared at the time to be a resumption of strong bullish momentum.  The rally lost steam soon after reaching that May peak, and the price began to retreat once again. By June 3, XRP made another attempt to push higher, reaching $2.27 in what is the formation of the right shoulder. However, this push wasn’t enough, and the ensuing price action has seen sellers gradually fighting for control. The head and shoulders pattern, which is often associated with trend reversals, became more concerning once XRP broke below the neckline around the $2.18 level to reach as low as $2.07 on July 6. Interestingly, the breakdown below the neckline was accompanied by increased volume, which provided additional confirmation of the bearish signal. EMA Rejections For XRP: What’s Next? Now that XRP has broken beneath the neckline, the $2.18 to $2.20 zone is beginning to flip into a firm resistance barrier for any attempt at recovery. The daily candlestick chart shows XRP continuing to trade below both the 9-day EMA and the 50-day SMA, which currently stand at $2.1877 and $2.2649 respectively. Despite a modest recovery over the past 24 hours, XRP has repeatedly failed to break back above the 9-day EMA since the neckline breakdown, showing persistent weakness in the short-term structure.  As long as XRP is trapped beneath the neckline and the EMA/SMA resistance cluster, the prevailing structure continues to favor a downward extension. Based on the head and shoulders setup, a measured move from the neckline breakdown projects a decline toward the $1.85 to $1.80 range.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Network Activity Booming Despite A Quiet Market—Data At the time of writing, XRP now finds itself trading at the neckline resistance again at $2.18 after a 2.6% increase in the past 24 hours from $2.13. However, the strength of this bounce is questionable, as it has occurred alongside a sharp 48.14% drop in trading volume. The next 24 hours will be important, as price behavior around the $2.18 to $2.20 range could determine whether XRP resumes its descent and break below $2.

According to social media buzz, the growing clash between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump has sent ripples through the crypto world. Musk’s public swipe at a recent spending bill kicked things off. Then came Trump’s warning to yank Musk’s government contracts. It got messy fast. And now, some believe XRP could come out on top. Related Reading: Bitcoin Network Activity Booming Despite A Quiet Market—Data Elon Musk-Trump Feud Spurs Crypto Talk Musk took to Twitter on June 4 to slam what he called reckless government spending. His post warned of “serious economic risks.” Not long after, Trump fired back. He threatened to pull subsidies and contracts tied to Tesla. That response sent Tesla’s stock tumbling. Investors watched $150 billion in market value vanish in a matter of hours. Market Moves And Price Swings Based on reports, Bitcoin slid more than 5% following the news. It dropped to a low of $100,550 before finding a bit of footing near $102,400. XRP wasn’t spared either. It fell alongside other major coins, though the exact drop varied across exchanges. Traders saw quick declines, then a modest rebound as the dust settled. I believe @elonmusk will do anything to make @Ripple $XRP as a chosen one and use it on @x while knowing that @EricTrump, @DonaldJTrumpJr, and @realDonaldTrump will watch @worldlibertyfi and @bitcoin crashing in front of their eyes. Right, @elonmusk? — Joshua Dalton (@J9Dalton) June 5, 2025 XRP Community Weighs In Joshua Dalton, who founded tech services firm TRIBLU, stirred the pot with a bold claim. He suggested Musk might choose XRP as the main currency for X’s upcoming payment system, X Money. Dalton argued that Musk “will do anything” to make XRP the go-to token. He tagged Ripple, Musk, US President Trump, and Trump’s sons in a single post. That move framed the drama as more than just politics—it became a showdown of crypto loyalties. Technical Fit For X Money XRP provides quicker settlement and reduced fees than Bitcoin. In 2021, Musk suspended BTC payments for Tesla due to high energy consumption and centralized mining concerns. That move proved he’s not afraid to change course when a coin isn’t aligned with his objectives. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Hit $180,000 In 2025? Analyst Highlights The Trigger In October 2024, Musk even referenced XRP in a viral video. He spoke of crypto like XRP potentially resisting central control, but he did not go so far as to make a full endorsement. With X Money scheduled to roll out later in 2025, XRP’s architecture for cross-border transfers could mirror what Musk is looking to create. Some analysts point out real hurdles. Ripple still holds a large chunk of XRP, and US regulators are watching closely. Any big move would need legal green lights and deep liquidity on exchanges. But for now, the idea of an “everything app” powered by XRP keeps popping up in crypto chats. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView

One of the reasons that the altcoin season seemed to not have begun until now is the fact that Bitcoin has dominated the market recovery, and thus, the BTC dominance remains very high. For the altcoin season to actually begin, past market performances show that there needs to be a major decline in the Bitcoin dominance. This is the ultimate trigger the market needs to confirm that altcoins will begin their own independent run. Bitcoin Dominance Needs To Fall To 62% The Bitcoin dominance is still trending at a high 64%, and this continues to be a thorn in the side of altcoins. With the dominance this high, the Bitcoin price continues to dictate where the market goes and has seen altcoins suffer crashes as a result of even the tiniest movement triggering a decline in prices. Related Reading: What Happens To The XRP Price If The 2017 Fractal Plays Out Again? However, crypto analyst Quantum Ascend has pointed out an interesting formation in the chart, which is a 7-wave crashing pattern. This pattern has been completed, and this signals a possible drop in the Bitcoin dominance as time goes on. The last phase of the 7-wave pattern was when the dominance hit a peak of 64.6% before declining back down toward 64%. This pattern suggests that the Bitcoin dominance could possibly drop to 62%, which would be good news for those waiting for the altcoin season. The last time that the dominance was this low was back on May 14, and altcoins had rallied hard as a result. For this decline to be completed, the crypto analyst reveals that confirmation lies below 63.45%, as this is the Wave 6 lows. Once this support is broken, a sharp drop toward 62% is expected from here. As the analyst explains, “real momentum kicks in under 62%,” and this is when altcoin season moves with full force. Altcoin Season Is Not Over The topic of a possible altcoin season is currently one of the most debated in the crypto community as market participants remain split on where it is in the cycle. Some have said there will be no altcoin season similar to what was seen in 2021, while others have maintained that it is still possible. Related Reading: Dogecoin Open Interest Averages $2 Billion In June As Price Struggles Below $0.2 One analyst on the X (formerly Twitter) platform has lent their voice, pushing the narrative that the altcoin season is far from over. For a 2021-style altcoin season to happen, though, the crypto analyst says the altcoin market, which excludes the top 10 cryptos by market cap, must break above the $470 billion resistance like it did in previous cycles. Once this happens, then they expect the altcoin season to begin. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum has so far underperformed in this market cycle but looks ready to mount a parabolic rally based on analysts’ predictions. Crypto analyst Crypto Bullet recently highlighted a bullish pattern on ETH’s chart, which provides a bullish outlook for the altcoin.  Ethereum Eyes $3,300 As Morningstar Candle Pattern Forms In an X post, Crypto Bullet predicted that Ethereum could rally to $3,300 as a Morningstar Candle pattern forms for the largest altcoin by market cap. This came as he highlighted the bullish monthly close for ETH and alluded to the monthly chart printing this bullish pattern. With this, the analyst expects a significant rally from Ethereum.  Related Reading: Ethereum Price At $8,000: Pundit Predicts Parabolic Run For ETH Crypto Bullet noted that Ethereum is now facing tough resistance, but he believes that the $2,500 resistance will be broken. The analyst added that his next target is $3,300. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ash Crypto also provided a bullish analysis for ETH, in which he declared that the Wyckoff accumulation was still in play.  He remarked that the first major level to reclaim is $3,100, which will be followed by a small correction. Following that, Ash Crypto is confident that ETH will then surge to $4,000, which will initiate an explosive rally. The analyst affirmed that $10,000 is programmed for ETH in this cycle.  As NewsBTC reported, crypto analyst Crypto GEM recently predicted that Ethereum could rally to $8,000 by next year. Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also highlighted $5,000, $7,000, and $8,500 as the targets for ETH’s market structure.  Meanwhile, just like Ash Crypto, crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto is also confident that the altcoin can reach as high as $10,000 in this market cycle. He highlighted a similarity between Ethereum’s current price action and that of the 2017 market cycle.  Ongoing V-Shape Recovery For ETH In an X post, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto highlighted an ongoing V-shape recovery for Ethereum. He noted that ETH has kicked off a sharp reversal, forming a classic V-shape structure on the weekly chart. His accompanying chart showed that ETH could rally to as high as $7,600 on this run-up.  Related Reading: Crypto Trader Dumps XRP Holdings For Ethereum, Explains Why Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto stated that Ethereum is flirting with a breakout. The analyst further noted that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is already breaking out. His accompanying chart showed that ETH could rally to as high as $3,600 on this breakout. He also declared that the fifth time of ETH’s move to the MA20 will be a thrust through. The altcoin is expected to break the $2,600 resistance on this move.  At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $2,450, down almost 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

TRON (TRX) has experienced relatively stable price movement over the past week, fluctuating within a narrow range between $0.276 and $0.272. At the time of writing, the token is trading at $0.2729, reflecting a weekly decline of approximately 1.5%. However, zooming out reveals a broader uptrend, with TRX gaining nearly 12% over the past month, indicating growing market interest amid a backdrop of increased on-chain activity. An assessment of TRON’s network-level data suggests the blockchain is experiencing a surge in usage. According to a recent analysis published on CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform by contributor Darkfost, daily transaction volume on the TRON network has crossed the 8 million mark, a notable increase from earlier this year. This growth in network transactions is considered a critical indicator of underlying demand and user engagement, which could influence market sentiment around the asset. Related Reading: TRON Activity Hits All-Time High, Is a TRX Price Breakout Coming? Transaction Volume and Address Activity Show Strong Network Engagement Darkfost noted that TRON’s monthly average for daily transactions has seen consistent growth, with recent data showing a roughly 2 million increase in average daily transactions since February. The network is now processing over 8 million transactions per day, marking a more than 30% rise over the past four months. Importantly, a large share of these transactions is occurring outside centralized exchanges, pointing to the growing utility of the blockchain for peer-to-peer transfers and decentralized application (dApp) usage. This shift away from centralized platforms may reflect increased interest in TRON’s native ecosystem services and its competitive yield offerings. As more users interact directly with the network, transaction-based liquidity grows, which can contribute to stronger economic activity across the TRON protocol. Darkfost emphasized that this trend of non-exchange transactions is a positive signal for the blockchain’s real-world usage and investor adoption. TRON Active Address Metrics Reach New Highs In a separate update, CryptoQuant analyst Cryptoonchain highlighted that both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages for active addresses on the TRON network have hit their highest levels to date. This sustained rise in active wallet participation suggests a growing user base that is consistently interacting with the blockchain. While TRX’s price has not fully kept pace with the uptick in address activity, historical trends suggest that increased user engagement often precedes upward price movement. Related Reading: Analyst Explains Reason Behind Tron Price Sluggishness — Are TRX Bears Now In Control? The correlation between active address growth and price performance continues to be an area of interest. With momentum building across multiple on-chain indicators, there is a likelihood that TRON may be positioned for further gains if current trends hold.

XRP’s price action is currently exhibiting a back-and-forth pattern around $2.20, but an interesting technical analysis suggests it may soon leave this price level. A chart analysis posted by a crypto analyst on the social media platform X has given an interesting projection about XRP’s next move. By overlaying XRP’s current weekly chart with its explosive 2017 fractal, the analyst hints that the altcoin might be on the verge of a repeat performance that sends it far beyond its current price range. 2017 XRP Fractal Overlaid Technical analysis of XRP price action on the weekly timeframe reveals an interesting pattern that has been unfolding over multiple weeks. This interesting pattern began with the intense XRP price rally in Q4 2024, which eventually ended in a consolidation around $2, as seen in the current price action. This, in turn, has led to the formation of a flag pattern that is still playing out. Related Reading: Analyst Shows 3-Cycle Ride For XRP Price To Reach $46 The core of the analyst’s technical analysis lies in the uncanny resemblance between XRP’s present market structure and the bullish pattern that preceded the historic 2017 rally. As such, the analyst overlaid the 2017 fractal onto the current price action, revealing a formation that mirrors a giant bull flag, which is often interpreted as a technical continuation pattern. The analysis also places into focus XRP’s ongoing interaction with the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) on the weekly candlestick timeframe. Back in 2017, this level acted as a support base for XRP’s vertical breakout. Now, the current pattern shows the cryptocurrency is once again consolidating directly above this moving average, which the analyst describes as the foundation of a giga bull flag. The resemblance doesn’t stop at price structure. The analyst also draws attention to the RSI behavior. Back in 2017, the RSI entered a flat compressed zone between two spikes on the weekly timeframe, a pattern that appears to be repeating today. The first RSI peak has already formed, and the current flattening phase suggests a possible second spike may soon follow, which could correlate with a breakout in price if the fractal stays valid. What To Expect If 2017 Fractal Plays Out Again? The implications are exciting if XRP follows the same trajectory as it did in 2017. The overlay suggests a price rally beyond $20, which would represent the biggest rally so far in XRP’s price history. The projected move would take XRP far beyond its 2018 all-time high of $3.40 and establish a new price floor above double digits for the cryptocurrency. This projection aligns with other projections in similar technical analyses from other cryptocurrency analysts. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Now Targeting $4 After Reversal From ‘Buy Zone’ At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.2, down by 2,3% in the past 24 hours. Whether or not XRP follows the 2017 pattern exactly remains to be seen, but the similarities in price behavior, RSI compression, and EMA support are difficult to dismiss.

Three publicly traded companies are moving to hold XRP as part of their cash stash, putting real money behind their crypto bets. Webus International wants to set aside $300 million in XRP. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reserve Gets Military Nod, Senator Predicts Explosive 10-Year Surge VivoPower plans to use roughly $121 million. Wellgistics Health has earmarked $50 million. This marks a shift in how some firms think about keeping reserves, and it could change how they handle payments down the road. Webus International Plans Huge Reserve According to filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Webus International aims to raise $300 million through non-equity funding. The company will tap its existing cash, credit lines backed by institutions, and support from shareholders. Companies are exploring the XRP treasury strategy: – Webus International: $300M – VivoPower: $121M – Wellgistics: $50M pic.twitter.com/C9rldXDdDG — Messari (@MessariCrypto) June 4, 2025 Once the money is in hand, Webus intends to buy XRP and hold it as part of its treasury. The plan comes with a partner: Samara Alpha Management. Webus says the altcoin will help the firm with global payment services. They think it can move value quickly across borders, and this treasury could back that. VivoPower’s XRP Ambition Based on reports, VivoPower is setting aside about $121 million to build its own XRP stash. The public announcement highlights a recent private placement led by Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia. Most of the $121 million raised will go straight into the coin. VivoPower even wants to rebrand itself as the world’s first company focused on XRP. That’s a bold goal for a firm listed on Nasdaq. If everything goes to plan, XRP would play a big role in how VivoPower manages money and transactions. Wellgistics Health Joins Trend Wellgistics Health, a healthcare company you might not expect to dive into cryptocurrency, has its own $50 million set aside for XRP. The cash came in last month and is meant for PX (purchase and hold XRP) and to use XRP for real-time payments. Wellgistics says it wants to cut out delays and fees that come with old‐school payment methods. By sending and receiving XRP, the company believes it can move money faster when it pays vendors or gets paid by customers. It’s a sign that even outside tech or finance, firms see value in holding crypto.

In December, Worksport said it would buy both XRP and Bitcoin, using 10% of its operating cash to build reserves. More recently, Ault Capital Group pledged $10 million to XRP this year to boost its move into financial services. On top of that, the US government mentioned XRP as one of the assets it might add to a digital asset stockpile. That’s a signal to private companies that holding XRP is worth a look.

US President Donald Trump’s circle moved closer to rolling out two big crypto products this week. One announcement sparked a public mix‐up over who’s doing what. The other took a formal step toward a Bitcoin exchange‐traded fund. Both moves show the family’s push for more crypto ties. Related Reading: XRP Could Transform Your Finances Long Before $10K, Angel Investor Says Trump Token Wallet Claim Fuels Confusion According to reports, @GetTrumpMemes on X said on Tuesday that a new crypto wallet branded with US President Trump’s picture is coming. The post said Magic Eden will power the wallet and that users could grab up to $1 million in TRUMP token rewards by joining a waitlist. Some readers rushed to sign up. But then Donald Trump Jr., who serves as Web3 Ambassador to World Liberty Financial (WLFI), posted that his family isn’t involved in that exact product. He called out the official TRUMP token account and said WLFI will launch its own branded wallet at a later date. With Billions of Trump fans around the world, the $TRUMP mission has always been to make it super easy for Trump supporters to get into crypto and join the $TRUMP community. The $TRUMP Wallet powered by @magiceden is coming soon. Join the $TRUMP community!… pic.twitter.com/7nIubWIdqw — TrumpMeme (@GetTrumpMemes) June 3, 2025 Eric Trump chimed in too, saying he and his brother have no link to the version teased by the TRUMP token team. That disagreement left fans scratching their heads. Who really owns this wallet? It’s clear that the brand name draws attention, but so does the split between the token’s official page and the Trump family’s own statements. Family Firm Files For Bitcoin ETF Based on filings, NYSE Arca took the first legal step on Tuesday to list a Truth Social Bitcoin spot ETF. The 19b-4 request went to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Yorkville American Digital, a Florida asset manager, is the sponsor. If approved, this would become the 13th US Bitcoin spot ETF and join big names like BlackRock and Fidelity. The move follows an April partnership between Trump Media and Crypto.com to launch “Made In America” exchange‐traded products that include Bitcoin and Crypto.com’s Cronos token. Back then, people in crypto circles saw a sign that Trump Media aims to bundle patriotism with digital coins. Now the new filing shows they’re serious about offering a mainstream Bitcoin fund. Related Reading: $500M Bet On Solana: Education Platform Aims To Supercharge Its Treasury Brand Mix Leads To Mixed Messages People watching this space know that WLFI dipped into stablecoins before. And Trump Media said it plans a Bitcoin Treasury worth $2.5 billion at launch. So the family name is already tied to crypto money. Yet the wallet announcement on X and the family’s denials highlight how fast things can sound official—especially when magic Eden and a popular meme token are involved. One side says, “We’re doing it,” while the other side says, “Not us.” When branding blurs the lines between projects, users may wonder which link to trust. That split can hurt credibility, even if the goal is to ride high on an eye‐catching name. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

According to expert analysts, the XRP price is showing renewed bullish momentum, with projections suggesting a potential rally to the 1.618 Fib at $21 this bull cycle. While this projection may seem ambitious, the analyst’s bullish outlook doesn’t stop there. Once XRP hits $21, it is expected to continue its upward trajectory toward its next target of $152.  XRP Price Eyes Powerful Breakout To New Targets A recent technical analysis of XRP’s long-term price chart is igniting significant buzz in the crypto community, as the altcoin appears to be forming a familiar pattern that previously led to exponential gains. The chart, published by a well-known crypto expert, Javon Marks, suggests that XRP could be on the brink of a powerful price breakout, with expectations pointing toward the $21 price level and beyond.  Related Reading: Wave Structure Puts XRP Price In The $18.22-$23.20 Range In The Short Term Marks’ analysis identifies two major symmetrical triangle formations in XRP’s price history—one that preceded its explosive rally in 2017 and another that concluded with a fresh breakout in 2024. In the earlier cycle, XRP surged thousands of percent after breaking out of its consolidation pattern, topping near the 2.272 Fibonacci level. This historical price movement is now being used to forecast what could come next for the altcoin. According to the chart, XRP recently rose to the 1.0 Fibonacci level near $3.31 but retraced back toward $2. If the current cycle mirrors the previous one, Marks predicts that the next significant level of interest lies at the 1.618 Fibonacci Extension level, which aligns with the $21 price target. Notably, a surge to this double-digit territory would represent an over 800% increase from current levels around $2.23. However, Marks’ optimistic projection does not stop there. Should XRP replicate the full extension it made in the past, the price is forecasted to reach the 2.272 Fibonacci level once again, this time sitting around a jaw-dropping $152. While this forecast may seem over the top, the analyst has shown strong confidence in XRP’s future price outlook, utilizing past price action as a blueprint and technical indicator to determine the altcoin’s upside potential.  Analyst’s XRP Forecast Met With Skepticism  On one hand, Marks’ bullish XRP price forecast was met with excitement, and on the other, the majority of crypto community members expressed doubts about the overly ambitious targets. The projection of a move to $21 and possibly even higher to $152 has been met with caution and skepticism among community members. Related Reading: Bullish Candle Formation Suggests The XRP Price Could Touch $22 While historical patterns can provide a roadmap to a potential price rally, critics responding to Marks’ analysis argue that reaching the triple-digit territory is virtually impossible for XRP currently. One member suggested that a more realistic target for the altcoin was between $13 and $20. Others questioned the feasibility of hitting these bullish targets within the proposed timeline, debating whether it could happen by the end of 2025 or even Q1 2026.

TRON (TRX) is seeing a continued lift in price alongside broader gains across the crypto market. As of today, TRX is trading just above $0.27, marking a 1.2% increase over the past 24 hours. The move reflects a coordinated uptick in digital asset valuations, with the global cryptocurrency market capitalization climbing nearly 1% to a current total of approximately $3.47 trillion. This price action comes as on-chain data suggests increased user engagement on the TRON network. Related Reading: Analyst Explains Reason Behind Tron Price Sluggishness — Are TRX Bears Now In Control? According to recent analysis shared on CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, a steady rise in daily active addresses is being observed, with both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages for this metric reaching all-time highs. The sustained increase in network activity points to a potentially supportive backdrop for TRX’s current momentum. TRX Hits $121.2B Monthly Transfer Volume — New All-Time High “TRX reached a new ATH in total transfer volume, both in terms of TRX and USD value. Over the course of the month, a total of 490.3 billion TRX was transferred.” – By @JA_Maartun Full post ⤵️https://t.co/zJUt0EruNI pic.twitter.com/6yrDUUjTJb — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) June 2, 2025 User Engagement and Moving Averages Signal Strong Network Activity CryptoQuant contributor “CryptoOnchain” reported that the moving averages of daily active addresses on TRON have reached unprecedented levels. The 50-day and 100-day metrics, which smooth out short-term fluctuations to show longer-term engagement trends, are currently at their highest points since tracking began. Historically, sustained increases in this metric have preceded upward price movement in TRX, though the price growth has yet to fully reflect the spike in activity. The analyst also emphasized that while TRX has been rising, the network’s user participation appears to be outpacing the token’s market performance. This divergence suggests that underlying demand is building, potentially laying the groundwork for future gains if the trend continues. Meanwhile, traders often view network activity as a leading indicator of value in proof-of-stake chains like TRON, where user interaction can drive both sentiment and transaction volume. SunPump Token Activity Emerges as TRON Price Indicator In a separate CryptoQuant post, analyst “BorisVest” highlighted the role of SunPump tokens in shaping TRON’s price dynamics. SunPump is a tool used for creating tokens on the TRON network, and its activity appears to correlate with TRX market trends. According to the analysis, periods of intense token creation, often driven by hype, bots, or speculative launches, can signal short-term tops in TRX price, especially if the token’s value doesn’t keep pace with the burst in network activity. Related Reading: TRON’s Correlation With Bitcoin Could Mean Massive Gains, Here’s Why Conversely, when activity on SunPump slows down, TRX has historically drifted lower toward local bottoms, often indicating reduced selling pressure. More stable growth in token creation, when aligned with a gradual rise in TRX price, has been associated with healthier and more sustained rallies. BorisVest suggests that tracking these token dynamics can provide insights into TRON’s market rhythm, offering a potential framework for identifying accumulation zones or overheated conditions.

According to reports, Classover Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: KIDZ) has taken a bold turn. It just signed a deal with Solana Growth Ventures LLC that could bring up to $500 million in senior secured convertible notes. Related Reading: XRP Could Transform Your Finances Long Before $10K, Angel Investor Says The deal kicks off with an $11 million investment once all conditions are met. What stands out is the plan to use as much as 80% of net proceeds to buy SOL tokens. Classover’s Big Crypto Bet Classover is aiming to build a Solana-based treasury reserve. That means most of its new money will end up in SOL tokens. Even though crypto is known for its ups and downs, the company seems set on this path. It had a 0.02 liquidity ratio before this deal, which shows how tight its cash flow was. Now, by putting money into SOL, Classover is hoping to steady things out. Based on reports, this move is part of a broader strategy to shift its financial focus toward blockchain assets. ????BREAKING CLASSOVER HOLDINGS SECURES $500M FOR SOLANA TREASURY STRATEGY PLANS TO ALLOCATE UP TO 80% TO BUY $SOL. pic.twitter.com/mZZAnogzIi — DustyBC Crypto (@TheDustyBC) June 3, 2025 Convertible Notes And Share Impact The notes can be turned into Class B common stock. They’re set to convert at twice the closing share price before the deal closes. That gives early investors a chance for upside if the stock moves higher. It also cuts down on dilution risks for the current owners, at least for now. Chardan is the only placement agent and financial advisor on the deal. The new financing follows a $400 million equity raise that pushed their potential capital access to $900 million. Back-to-back moves like these point to a longer-term plan to overhaul Classover’s treasury setup with Solana at its center. Struggles In Education Business Classover launched in 2020, offering live online classes for K-12 students around the world. They even added AI tools to their platform. But revenues dropped by almost 100% year-over-year. That fall is a red flag for any company. Related Reading: Stablecoins Ignite Record-Breaking May, Supply Jumps To $244B – Data With a market cap of about $60 million, Classover is in a spot where every dollar counts. Reports say the latest SEC filings show changes to executive pay. It looks like they want to keep their leadership team in place while they work through these money problems. Still, it’s hard to ignore those steep revenue losses and the worry around cash on hand. Solana’s Price Movements Solana itself has been under pressure lately. It tried to get back above $180 but failed. That led to a pullback in line with a wider market correction. Right now, SOL is trading around $162. That’s about a 6.2% rise in the last 24 hours. Its total market cap sits at $84.7 billion, and trading volume is around $3.70 billion. If demand doesn’t pick up soon, SOL could slip further before finding strong support. For Classover, any big drop in SOL’s price could hurt its new treasury plan. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The Ethereum price action is raising red flags among analysts, with technical indicators pointing toward a potential crash to the $2,000 level. Despite experiencing a significant uptick recently following Bitcoin’s price surge, concerns continue to grow that a deeper correction may be unfolding.  Ethereum Price Crash To $2,000 Imminent Based on a new report by Master Ananda, a TradingView crypto analyst, the Ethereum market is flashing warning signs as its price struggles below the critical resistance zone. At press time, Ethereum is trading at approximately $2,605 after being rejected from a local high of around $2,788. Related Reading: Ethereum Price At $8,000: Pundit Predicts Parabolic Run For ETH Ethereum’s 4-hour chart presented by Master Ananda shows that the top altcoin has likely completed a short-term top, and now a corrective move is in play. The analysis hints at a looming price crash, with technical forecasts suggesting a retracement toward the $2,000 level or lower before the next bullish impulse.  The analyst’s bearish continuation thesis appears to be a high-probability setup, with Ethereum expected to revisit lower Fibonacci retracement levels. Notably, the chart reveals a subtle bearish divergence forming as the price pushed slightly higher in May but with diminishing momentum. This, in turn, created a rising resistance line while volume and price action failed to confirm new highs. Noticeably, Ethereum’s price has since broken below the 0.230 Fibonacci level, signaling the possible start of a broader correction phase. The next probable support areas lie at $2,280 (0.382 Fib), $2,085 (0.5 Fib), and most significantly, the $1,900 price point at the 0.618 Fib Retracement level.  The highlighted green zones in Master Ananda’s chart represent potential support and buying areas, which point to the $1,900 to $1,735 (0.618-0.786 Fib) range as the most likely zone for a higher low to form. The previous major low occurred on April 7, and the expectation is that this correction will end above that level. Until then, a short-term correction remains the most likely scenario, and traders are warned to take caution as the chart further highlights a possibly more resounding crash to $1,385.  ETH Trade Strategy: Buy The Dip And Go Long While sharing his bearish thesis for Ethereum, Master Ananda also provided a clear strategy for investors and traders. He advised long-term holders to wait patiently for the projected drop and assess the support reaction before looking for clear reversal signals.  Related Reading: Crypto Trader Dumps XRP Holdings For Ethereum, Explains Why Buying into support zones like $1,900 or even as low as $1,736 could provide optimal entry points for long-term positions. While bears may still attempt to short the market, Master Ananda assures that the downside remains limited.  The analyst emphasizes the importance of planning and avoiding impulsive trading by creating ideal entry and exit points while respecting the prevailing market trend. With Ethereum’s bullish outlook still intact, this projected price crash could become an opportunity for many traders instead of a threat.

According to a recent video by angel investor and crypto influencer Armando Pantoja, many XRP holders feel stuck as rival coins keep climbing. He pointed out that focusing only on getting XRP to $10,000 misses the point. Instead, he urged people to look at returns and real uses. This shift in perspective could change how investors see the token’s potential. Related Reading: Pepe Makes It To Trump’s Feed—Is A Crypto Endorsement Next? Emphasis On ROI Based on reports, Pantoja noted that wanting XRP at $10,000 is unrealistic. He said you can get the same gains without waiting for that sky-high price. For example, Bitcoin would need to hit over $300,000 to triple your stake if you bought it at today’s levels. But XRP only needs to reach about $8 from its current trading price near $2.30 to yield the same ROI. That’s a big gap. If you bought XRP at $2.30, a move to $8 feels more achievable—for some, at least. While Bitcoin’s market cap towers over others, XRP’s total value is around 7% of that of Bitcoin’s. This smaller size means it could swing more on positive news. Should I sell all my $XRP for $BTC Just got back from #bitcoinconference2025 pic.twitter.com/CobVAasjbC — Armando Pantoja (@_TallGuyTycoon) May 30, 2025 Comparing Market Caps And Gains Bitcoin recently touched a new all-time high near $112,000. Meanwhile, XRP held around $2.30 in value. Investors pointed to this gap as proof that XRP had no momentum. But Pantoja reminded his audience that XRP climbed over 300% over the past year, while Bitcoin rose by 50% over the same period. Those figures show that past performance for XRP has outpaced Bitcoin’s in percentage terms. This is based on reports that track prices from June last year to now. Still, the wider market’s focus tends to follow Bitcoin’s chart. When BTC booms, altcoins often run too. But sometimes they trail behind or fall back harder. XRP’s Payment Use Case Based on reports around its network, XRP stands out for speed and cost. It can settle a payment in a matter of seconds and handle up to 1,500 transactions per second. That’s fast, especially when compared to the SWIFT network used by banks. Fees are low enough that moving funds across borders can cost mere pennies. Pantoja said this real-world utility is more valuable than hype. He urged investors to think about banks or money-service companies adopting XRP for cross-border transfers. Such adoption could drive demand more than price rumors ever will.

Bitcoin continues to showcase resilience in the current cryptocurrency market cycle, consistently setting new records while many altcoins remain below their previous peaks. Currently trading just above $104,000, Bitcoin has recently retraced from its all-time high above $111,000, set last month. Contrasting Bitcoin’s consistent growth, Ethereum and other prominent altcoins have yet to surpass historical highs that they reached several years ago, highlighting a notable divergence in market performance. This divergence has been a focal point among analysts, prompting a deeper examination of investor behavior and capital flows between Bitcoin and altcoins. Recent insights from CryptoQuant analyst Dan suggest that while Bitcoin remains dominant, the situation for altcoins might shift in the upcoming phase of the crypto market cycle. Related Reading: Crypto Bulls See $644M Bloodbath As Bitcoin Dips Below $105,000 Bitcoin Investor Behavior Suggests Potential Shift Ahead CryptoQuant analyst Crypto Dan recently explored the broader implications of this Bitcoin-dominated cycle in his market commentary. According to Dan’s analysis, previous market cycles typically saw a gradual reduction in mid-to-long-term Bitcoin holdings as investor capital redistributed into altcoins. This shift traditionally drove altcoins significantly higher, usually marking the late stages of a bullish cycle. However, this cycle exhibits a different pattern. Frequent minor corrections in Bitcoin’s price are followed by more significant and sharp downturns for altcoins, demonstrating persistent weakness. Crypto Dan notes that currently, very few altcoin investors have realized meaningful profits, an unusual circumstance compared to prior cycles. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sharpe Ratio Says It’s Time For ‘Cautious Optimism’ — Further Upside Growth Incoming? Despite this ongoing difficulty for altcoin holders, the analyst maintains optimism, emphasizing that historical patterns suggest Bitcoin’s dominance typically declines towards the end of each cycle. If history repeats, altcoins might experience substantial upward movements as the cycle approaches its maturity. Thus, while altcoins currently underperform, investors are advised to maintain patience until Bitcoin’s momentum reaches its final bullish push, potentially signaling a turning point. Whale Activities Hint at Upcoming Altcoin Attention Complementing this perspective, another analyst from CryptoQuant, Maartunn, provided insights into stablecoin inflows to major exchanges. Specifically, Maartunn highlighted that over 75% of Tether (USDT) deposits to Binance, tracked via the TRC-20 network, originated from large wallets, commonly known as whales, since November 2023. Over 75% of USDT Inflows to Binance Are from Whales “The data shows a clear trend: whales prefer Binance. Since November 2023, approximately 75% of total USDT deposits to Binance have originated from whale addresses.” – By @JA_Maartun pic.twitter.com/KCBA8cVCdb — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) June 2, 2025 This substantial concentration of whale activity suggests that major market participants prefer Binance for significant capital movements involving stablecoins. The notable whale-driven inflows to Binance could indicate preparation for substantial market activity, including potential purchasing of Bitcoin or an eventual shift towards altcoins. Historically, stablecoin deposits from large holders precede increased volatility and trading activity, as whales position themselves strategically in anticipation of market shifts.

Crypto pundit Crypto GEM has provided an ultra-bullish outlook for the Ethereum price, predicting that it could reach a new all-time high (ATH) this market cycle. Based on his prediction, ETH could record a 3x gain as it makes this parabolic run.  Ethereum Price To Rally To $8,000 In an X post, Crypto GEM declared that the Ethereum price will go parabolic this cycle, predicting that it can reach as high as $8,000. His accompanying chart showed that ETH can reach this target by July 2026. Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto has also stated that his targets for ETH in this cycle are between $8,000 and $10,000.  Related Reading: Ethereum Looks Ready To Break Out Of 4-Year Consolidation, Analyst Says Price Will ‘Go Insane’ In a recent analysis, Mikybull Crypto revealed that the current Ethereum price was showing a similar price action to the 2017 market cycle. Based on this similarity, he remarked that ETH might pull a higher price target to at least $8,000. Despite the altcoin’s underperformance in this cycle, the analyst has been one of those who have been confident that it will still record a parabolic rally in this bull run.  In the short term, Mikybull Crypto predicts that the Ethereum price can rally above $3,000. In an X post, he stated that ETH is still coiling up within the ascending triangle. He added that the target is $3,200 on this potential breakout. He again reaffirmed this prediction in another X analysis.   The analyst claimed that the same formation is playing out in a different scenario and remarked that market participants should prepare for a “melt-up.” His accompanying chart showed that the Ethereum price could even rally above $3,600 on this run-up. This would put ETH close to the psychological $4,000 price, which could pave the way for the run to a new all-time high (ATH).  ETH Eyes $3,800 As Bull Flag Forms In an X post, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto predicted that the Ethereum price could rally to $3,800 as a bull flag forms. He stated that ETH just broke out and that this bullish pattern is playing out. If confirmed, the analyst remarked that the next target sits around $3,800. This is just an intermediate target as Titan of Crypto expects Ethereum to rally higher in the long run.  Related Reading: Ethereum Founder Pushes ETH As Cash-Substitute, Can This Drive Price Above $4,000?

The first target for ETH is just above $5,000, the second is just above $7,000, and the third target is $8,500.  At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $2,500, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The price action of Dogecoin in the past 48 hours have seen it finally break below the $0.2 mark after a whole week of bullish investors trying to hold above the $0.22 support level. However, this break below the $0.22 support has cascaded into a string of selloffs that eventually pushed Dogecoin below $0.2. The mood was further complicated by a recent on-chain development of a massive inflow of Dogecoin into crypto exchange Coinbase that has raised eyebrows across the crypto community. Related Reading: No Room For Doubt: Analyst’s $900K Bitcoin Forecast Follows Familiar Script 312 Million Dogecoin Moved Into Crypto Exchange Coinbase According to data from blockchain monitoring platform Whale Alert, three large Dogecoin transactions were recorded in rapid succession, each involving 104,125,016 DOGE valued at approximately $20.09 million. These transfers were sent from three different wallets to the Coinbase exchange, bringing the total moved to 312,375,048 DOGE, worth over $60 million at the time of the transaction. ???? 104,125,016 #DOGE (20,090,304 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to #Coinbasehttps://t.co/ZHkkBkN9Bm — Whale Alert (@whale_alert) May 31, 2025 ???? 104,125,016 #DOGE (20,090,304 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to #Coinbasehttps://t.co/4x6lIhHDSk — Whale Alert (@whale_alert) May 31, 2025 ???? 104,125,016 #DOGE (20,090,304 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to #Coinbasehttps://t.co/6G8vEk2Hnj — Whale Alert (@whale_alert) May 31, 2025 Although the wallets are technically separate, their identical balances, timing, and synchronized movement strongly suggest they are controlled by a single entity. On-chain history reveals that these wallets started receiving Dogecoin in October 2021, five months after the cryptocurrency reached its all-time high of $0.7316 in May 2021. Fresh inflows were added again in 2022, but since then, there had been little to no incoming activity.  Furthermore, these addresses haven’t had any outgoing activity since their creation, until now. This makes the recent transfers not only unusual but significant, as it marks the first time these tokens are being moved out and directly to an exchange. Brace For Impact? What This Means For DOGE Price The immediate concern for investors is whether these transfers is the precursor to an impending selloff. Sending over 312 million DOGE to Coinbase could be interpreted as a move to liquidate, especially if the whale behind these wallets intends to take profits after holding the asset dormant for nearly two years. Such a sale will introduce substantial selling pressure to Dogecoin, which is already currently struggling to get market demand to absorb selling pressure.  On the other hand, not all large transfers to exchanges indicate bearish intent. There is a realistic possibility that the wallets are not externally owned but rather belong to Coinbase itself. In that case, the transfers may simply represent internal restructuring or cold-to-hot wallet reallocation, which poses no threat to price action. At present, there is no conclusive evidence confirming either scenario, and the uncertainty is enough to keep retail Dogecoin traders on alert.  Related Reading: Panama Canal Could Prioritize Bitcoin-Paying Ships, Mayor Suggests Interestingly, Dogecoin’s price might already be showing strong volatility in response to the movement. At the time of writing, Dogecoin was trading at $0.188, down by 0.35% and 14% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Although the past 24 hours have been characterized by heavy selloffs, Bitcoin is still currently holding above the $100,000 level, trading around $103,700 as of the time of writing. Notably, signs of exhaustion are also beginning to surface for Bitcoin, especially in the past 48 hours. While long-term indicators suggest a bullish continuation for the Bitcoin price, short-term models indicate a breakdown of bullish strength, particularly as the cryptocurrency approaches the critical $100,000 support zone.  Related Reading: $10 Million Fix? SUI Network Moves Fast After Cetus Exploit Scare This sentiment is relayed by popular crypto analyst Willy Woo, who shared the good and bad news based on Bitcoin’s current technicals. Good News: A Bullish Long-Term Signal Still Intact According to Woo, one of the strongest long-term signals, the Bitcoin Risk Signal, is currently trending downwards. This drop indicates that buy-side liquidity is currently dominant in the long-term environment, setting the stage for another strong leg upward. The lower the risk reading, the safer it is to hold or accumulate Bitcoin, and this signal’s current decline shows a relatively low-risk environment for long-term investors. Woo noted that this long-term setup is intact, and with Bitcoin trading well above the psychological six-figure mark, the momentum is still in favor of the bulls in the long term. At the time of writing, the local risk model, as shown in the chart below, is currently in the mid-range, having declined from peak levels in early 2025, and is expected to continue trending downwards. In another analysis, Willy Woo noted the next significant move could push it above $114,000 and trigger liquidations of short positions. Bad News For Bitcoin Price Although the long-term picture is still favorable, the short-term models, including the Speculation and SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) metrics, are flashing caution. Using this indicator, Woo noted that the strength of the rally from $75,000 to $112,000 has started to weaken, especially with flat capital inflow in the past three days.  Keeping this in mind, Bitcoin’s price action this week is critical. “If we do not get follow through, then we will be up for another consolidation period,” the analyst said. If spot buying fails to pick up strongly in the coming week, which is the first week of June, especially with U.S. markets reopening after a long weekend, there will be a chance for a bearish pivot. The good and bad news can be summed up as follows: if buying pressure opens up quickly, Bitcoin could break above $114,000 and head toward the next major liquidity zone between $118,000 and $120,000. Failure to push higher could confirm bearish divergences and set the stage for another round of consolidation. Related Reading: $400K Bitcoin?

A crypto analyst has forecasted a potential 1,000% rally for the Dogecoin price by the end of the year, suggesting that the leading meme coin could not only reach the coveted $1 milestone but blast past it to $2. While this target may seem bold, especially with Dogecoin still trading below $0.5, the analysis is backed by a compelling combination of historical price behavior, market structure, and accumulation patterns. Related Reading: $400K Bitcoin? Analyst Says It’s Not A Dream—It’s ‘Coded’ Dogecoin Price Targets $2 By Year’s End According to a 2-day chart analysis published by crypto market expert ‘Setupsfx_‘ on TradingView, Dogecoin has been navigating a textbook accumulation phase reminiscent of previous cycles that preceded explosive price surges. Based on this distinct historical price behavior, the analyst is boldly predicting a major breakout, anticipating a 1,000% rally that could allow the meme coin to smash through $2 by the end of the year.  Using the Wyckoff theory as a foundation, the TradingView expert presented a chart illustrating a clear structure of accumulation, distribution, markdown, and markup—- all of which have played out in past market movements. The chart shows that Dogecoin followed a typical Wyckoff accumulation in its early 2021 cycle, where it traded sideways and spent months consolidating in a defined range. This range, indicated by the blue box on the chart, has been highlighted as a key buy zone between roughly $0.12 and $0.16. Notably, this key zone is the final area where the Dogecoin price could be revisited before launching higher.  A return to this range would complete the historical price structure and present an ideal entry point before the markup stage begins. Currently, Dogecoin has concluded its markdown phase and is approaching the final stages of accumulation, paving the way for a potential bullish breakout.  If price action continues to respect this historically bullish roadmap, Setupsfx_ forecasts that Dogecoin could gradually move higher over the coming months. By late 2025, this could culminate in a full-blown rally to $2, a level that represents approximately 1,000% upside from current prices.  While the TradingView analyst maintains a bullish stance on Dogecoin’s outlook, he has tempered expectations, cautioning that the journey to $2 isn’t expected to be linear. Dogecoin could still face volatility, retracement, and psychological resistance around levels like $0.25, $0.5, and $1, which could slow down its climb.  A Push Above $3 Still In The Cards Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade on X (formerly Twitter) is even more bullish on Dogecoin’s future price, projecting a potential rally to $3.8. This optimistic forecast is supported by the emergence of a bullish Ascending Broadening Wedge pattern on Dogecoin’s weekly chart.  Six key touch points confirm the pattern, labeled A through F, within a widening channel indicated on the price chart. The critical level to watch is the $0.47 resistance level, marked by the previous high around point E. Related Reading: $10 Million Fix? SUI Network Moves Fast After Cetus Exploit Scare A confirmed breakout above this level could validate the wedge and potentially trigger a significant price surge. Based on the measured move from the wedge’s widest point, the analyst highlights a projected path to $3.8, representing a massive 2,011% surge from current prices around $0.18.   Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Ethereum’s price action has demonstrated a pullback in recent days, reacting to broader market cues, including geopolitical developments. As of the time of writing, the asset is trading at $2,621, marking a 3.2% decline over the last 24 hours. The drop follows recent reports of a federal court reinstating US President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which appear to have triggered a brief wave of risk-off sentiment across the crypto asset space. Despite this short-term weakness, ETH remains up approximately 45% over the past month, supported by momentum built earlier in the quarter. Related Reading: Ethereum Spot Premium Signals Strength – $2,800 Resistance In Focus Large Ethereum Inflows to Binance Spark Caution This latest pullback coincides with a notable increase in on-chain activity, particularly surrounding Ethereum transfers to exchanges. On May 27, an unusually large transfer of ETH was observed moving to Binance, a trend that has caught the attention of a CryptoQuant analyst monitoring potential profit-taking behavior. Parallel to this, Bitcoin’s Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metric has reached a key level historically associated with market cooling phases, hinting that broader sentiment may be at a transitional point. According to CryptoQuant contributor Amr Taha, Ethereum experienced a substantial net inflow of approximately 385,000 ETH to Binance beginning on May 27. This marks one of the largest daily exchange inflows for the asset in recent months. Exchange inflows of this magnitude are often interpreted as signals of increased selling intent, particularly when driven by larger holders or institutional entities. The movement of such a high volume of ETH to a centralized exchange may reflect preparations for liquidity provision or anticipated market volatility. At the same time, Bitcoin’s NUPL, a metric that calculates the difference between unrealized profits and losses relative to market cap, has approached the 0.6 threshold. Historically, this level has acted as a pivot point where investors begin realizing gains, typically leading to price consolidation or downward pressure. Previous occurrences in early March and late 2024 saw NUPL at similar levels, followed by pullbacks in Bitcoin’s price, which also influenced broader market direction. Signals Suggest Potential Consolidation Phase Taken together, these developments present key indicators that market participants are adjusting their positions amid heightened uncertainty. Taha emphasized that while not definitive sell signals, the 385,000 ETH inflow to Binance and the NUPL’s rise to 0.6 are noteworthy. In prior cycles, similar patterns coincided with phases where investors reduced exposure or rotated assets. As ETH remains near local highs, the potential for short-term correction or sideways movement cannot be dismissed. Related Reading: Ethereum Market Outlook: Technical Indicators Signal Possible Continuation of Uptrend Taha concluded that investors may consider monitoring exchange inflows alongside NUPL and other on-chain metrics to better gauge sentiment shifts. Additionally, developments in regulatory or macroeconomic narratives, such as US trade policies or broader equity market behavior, could further influence crypto price dynamics. While Ethereum continues to demonstrate long-term strength, recent signals point to a phase of caution and strategic reassessment in the near term.

Bitcoin’s recent upward trajectory has encountered resistance after reaching a record-breaking peak of over $111,000 last week. Following this new all-time high, Bitcoin has retraced approximately 4% in the past seven days, bringing its current trading price down to $105,485. This represents a daily decline of 1.8%, reflecting cautious market sentiment and potential profit-taking among traders. In light of these recent price movements, a CryptoQuant analyst has been closely observing market dynamics, particularly concerning the launch of the Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). A detailed analysis provided by Joao Wedson, a contributor to CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, has shed new light on the liquidation trends observed in Bitcoin compared to other cryptocurrencies, also known as altcoins. Related Reading: This Chart Warns Bitcoin’s Momentum May Be Running Out, Here’s Why Liquidation Disparity Between Bitcoin and Altcoins Since the launch of the Bitcoin ETF, market behaviors have demonstrated a notable divergence between Bitcoin and altcoin liquidations. According to Wedson, Bitcoin liquidations on Binance have predominantly involved short positions, indicating traders who bet against Bitcoin were systematically liquidated during its recent price rise. Specifically, the Cumulative Liquidation Delta (CLD) showed short liquidations surpassing longs by approximately $190 million. This suggests market participants holding bearish positions were compelled to exit as Bitcoin’s value surged, pushing the price further upward. In stark contrast, altcoins have experienced a markedly different scenario. During the same period, altcoins faced nearly $1 billion more in long liquidations compared to shorts. This liquidation imbalance indicates that traders betting on a broad altcoin recovery faced substantial losses. The sustained downward pressure on altcoins reveals the failure of expectations surrounding an “Altseason,” a period when alternative cryptocurrencies typically outperform BTC. Implications of Market Asymmetry The distinct patterns in liquidations between BTC and altcoins reflect critical shifts in investor risk sentiment and leverage usage. BTC’s favorable price performance primarily impacted traders with bearish outlooks, forcing the liquidation of short positions and contributing to a bullish market perception. Conversely, the altcoin sector’s persistent price declines have led to widespread liquidation of bullish positions, highlighting the misalignment between trader expectations and actual market behavior. According to Wedson, since December 2024, this liquidation asymmetry has widened considerably, underscoring a shift in market focus. Investors have increasingly viewed BTC as a safer or more reliable bet amidst broader market uncertainty, while altcoins have suffered due to heightened leverage and speculative positioning.

This trend has intensified following the ETF’s approval, as traders appear more confident betting on Bitcoin’s stability and growth potential compared to the volatility and unpredictability of the altcoin market. Moving forward, the current market conditions suggest that investors may continue to approach Bitcoin with measured optimism while maintaining a cautious stance toward altcoins.

In an interview with Korean crypto researcher Juhyuk Bak, also known as @JuhyukB, Capriole Investments CEO Charles Edwards laid out a striking divergence in the crypto asset markets: while Bitcoin could double this year, altcoins remain structurally impaired and far from any meaningful rotation. Bitcoin Could Hit $200,000 This Year Speaking from the perspective of a macro quant hedge fund operator, Edwards was unequivocally bullish on Bitcoin, stating, “If the data stays in the current trend we’re in, I think $150–200K is definitely possible this year.” The founder of Capriole, a fund known for pioneering on-chain valuation models like Hash Ribbons, Energy Value, and the Macro Index, grounded this forecast in a web of interlocking technical, sentiment, and macroeconomic signals. Related Reading: Bitcoin Warning: Bull Trap Or $270,000 Rocket? Analyst Exposes What’s Coming “We’re printing new all-time highs on daily and weekly closes,” Edwards noted. “As long as we stay above $104K […] as long as the Macro Index trends up, and US liquidity continues to rise, this environment is very bullish.” Capriole’s proprietary Macro Index—a machine learning model aggregating over 100 inputs from Fed liquidity to bond and equity markets—has turned decisively positive. Bitcoin’s rally, Edwards emphasized, is further reinforced by metrics like MVRV Z-Score, Hodler Growth Rates, and Energy Value, all signaling room for expansion. But while Bitcoin shows strength across multiple dimensions, altcoins are telling a very different story. The Death Of The Old Altcoin Cycle Edwards refrained from naming specific altcoins but delivered a clear macro verdict: the capital flow dynamics have changed, and altcoins are no longer on an equal footing with Bitcoin. “Structurally, things are quite a bit different this cycle […] the biggest driving forces are Bitcoin ETFs and US policy. That’s creating a centralizing effect—funneling capital directly into Bitcoin,” he explained. He pointed to the historical cycles of retail-led altcoin rallies, followed by catastrophic drawdowns—often exceeding 99% losses. “Retail has just gotten destroyed,” he said bluntly. “There’s a fatigue in the altcoin space that wasn’t there four or five years ago.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Explode On Bessent’s $250 Billion Deregulation Shock The legacy of failed ICOs, broken tokenomics, and events like the FTX collapse have left lasting scars. Meanwhile, institutions are avoiding the risks and complexity of smaller-cap digital assets, opting instead for regulated Bitcoin exposure through ETFs and corporate treasury allocations. “It used to be more of a level playing field. That’s no longer the case,” Edwards said. “The real money is flowing into Bitcoin—and that probably continues for a while.” When Will Altcoins Wake Up? Despite the grim tone, Edwards does not dismiss altcoins entirely. He views a strong altcoin cycle as conditional—not impossible, but dependent on clear Bitcoin dominance first. Using Capriole’s Speculation Index and Crypto Breadth models, which track the relative strength and price movement of altcoins, he made a key observation: “Right now, only 5% of altcoins are above their 200-day moving average. That’s not bullish.” He compared the current setup to late 2020, when Bitcoin surged from $10K to $60K before altcoins began outperforming. That rotation required Bitcoin to first breach previous all-time highs decisively. “You want Bitcoin to hit something like $140K while alts are still underperforming. That would be the ideal setup […] that’s when capital begins rotating downstream,” he explained. Conversely, if altcoins begin pumping prematurely, while Bitcoin remains range bound, Edwards sees that as a top signal. “That’s usually the last puff of air,” he warned. Cycles Are Changing, Risks Are Evolving Beyond price action, Edwards questioned the relevance of traditional halving cycles. He argued that the impact of miners—once the primary driver of Bitcoin supply dynamics—has diminished significantly due to ETFs, corporate treasuries, and sovereign actors like Michael Saylor. “That four-year cycle is dead—or at least dramatically weaker. Miners are now just 2–3% of the total supply flow. The real drivers today are institutions,” he said. This evolution reduces the probability of 80% drawdowns and increases the risk of systemic leverage—particularly from publicly traded Bitcoin-heavy firms. While not an immediate concern, Edwards sees potential for long-term vulnerabilities if major players overextend. Edwards also discussed diversification within Capriole’s portfolio. While Bitcoin remains the firm’s core allocation, he revealed exposure to quantum computing equities like IonQ (IONQ), Rigetti (RGTI), D-Wave (QBTS), and QUBT. “I think quantum is like Bitcoin in 2015. It’s early, it’s volatile, but the long-term CAGR could be even higher than Bitcoin’s.” He added that gold also plays a strategic role, not as a replacement but as a hedge. Capriole monitors the gold-to-equity ratio closely, and its breakout above the 200-day moving average is seen as a historically bullish signal—both for gold and Bitcoin. In closing, Edwards urged investors to tune out most of the financial news cycle. “Probably 99% of headlines don’t matter,” he said. Instead, focus on game-changing shifts: Fed pivots, global liquidity expansions, and true structural reconfigurations of capital flow. “We’re wired to overreact to bad news. The key is to filter it down to a few macro drivers that actually move the market—and Bitcoin right now has those working in its favor.” Until altcoins show meaningful breadth and break their long-term resistance structures, Edwards’ message is clear: Bitcoin will soar. Altcoins won’t—at least, not yet. At press time, BTC traded at $105,557. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has highlighted a bullish candle formation, which could send the XRP price to as high as $22. This comes just as the analyst predicted that the altcoin could hit a $1.5 trillion market. XRP Price Eyes Rally To $22 As Bullish Candle Forms  In an X post, Egrag Crypto predicted that candle 13 on the yearly chart could be the breakout candle that sends the XRP price to $13 or $22. He also raised the possibility of the altcoin surging above these price levels, with a wick extending even higher. Based on his analysis of Candle 9, the 2021 yearly candle, the analyst noted that Candle 13 points to a target of around $17.  Related Reading: XRP Holds Midline Support That Has Led To Breakout In The Past, Why $2.9 Could Be Next Egrag Crypto remarked that this aligns perfectly between $13 and $22 for the XRP price. He also commented on Candle 12, noting that it was the strongest Bullish Engulfing pattern. This engulfing process started from Candle 5 and continued through Candle 11. The analyst added that the body of these candles closed above all previous candles, which is a “classic bullish sign.” It is even more bullish when it occurs on a yearly or 12-month chart, as in this case.  Commenting on the current XRP price action, Egrag Crypto stated that the noise is still loud on the high timeframes. He noted that the body of Candle 13 is above $1.85, and the wick extends up to around $3.40. The analyst claimed that a close below $1.85 could mark the end of the bull run, while a close above $3.40 confirms that XRP is heading to double digits.  Interestingly, the crypto analyst declared that December 31 this year will be a date to remember in XRP history. He remarked that market participants will see where the XRP price stands and what kind of candle formations are shaping up for the legendary year.  XRP At A Critical Level In an X post, Crypto analyst CasiTrades noted that the XRP price has returned to the $2.25 range, which is one of the most important levels on the chart. She stated that this zone has acted as both resistance and support since the $0.50 breakout, and now a proper backtest is underway.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts XRP Price Could Shoot To $12 Soon The analyst revealed that the smaller timeframes show that this level could hold. However, she warned that higher-timeframe confirmation is key and that the XRP price needs daily closes above $2.25 to confirm a bullish pivot. CasiTrades added that whether or not this is the final pivot, this level remains a high-probability zone for buyers. She noted that the next major support is at $1.90 if this $2.25 support fails.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.21, down almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has made a bold prediction that the XRP price can hit a $1.5 trillion market cap. He revealed how the altcoin can achieve this milestone by alluding to technical indicators, which show the measured move from this current market cap to a $1.5 trillion market cap.  How The XRP Price Can Reach $1.5 Trillion Market Cap In an X post, Egrag Crypto stated that the Logarithmic move could send the XRP price to around $1.5 trillion market cap, exceeding the Fib 1.618 by approximately $500 billion. Meanwhile, the Non-Logarithmic move will put the altcoin at around $270 billion, aligning with the Fib 1.618.  Related Reading: XRP Price Flashes Signal That Triggered 600% Rally In November 2024 The crypto analyst remarked that he sees two potential growth levels by measuring the previous cycle, the move from Fib 1.0 to Fib 1.618. Based on this, he predicts a 242% increase and a 600% increase. He then highlighted the four possible targets from the lowest to the highest. The first is the projected XRP price rally to a $270 billion market cap in line with the non-logarithmic measured move.  The second target is a 242% XRP price rally to a $450 billion market cap, backing the previous cycle’s move from Fib 1.0 to Fib 1.618. The third target is another 242% rally to a $978 billion market cap. Meanwhile, the rally to a $1.5 trillion market cap is the last target, with the Non-Log W pattern measured move for maximum potential.  Egrag Crypto highlighted what the XRP price could be based on its current circulating supply of 58.68 billion if it reaches these market cap targets. The altcoin’s price will be $4.60, $7.66, and $16.65 if it reaches the $270 billion, $450 billion, and $978 billion market caps, respectively. Meanwhile, XRP will hit $25.56 if it reaches the $1.5 trillion market cap milestone.  Another Analysis To Support This Price Projection In another X post, Egrag Crypto predicted that the XRP price can reach between $13 and $22 based on his analysis of the altcoin’s yearly chart. He stated that candle 13 will be the breakout candle, which will lead to the rally to $13 or $22, with the wick potentially extending even higher.  Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Bullish Reversal Setup With This Demand Zone He noted that by analyzing Candle 9, the 2021 yearly candle, and its full body move of an 800% gain, applying this increase to Candle 13 points to an XRP price target of around $17. He added that this aligns perfectly between Line 1 at $13 and Line 2 at $22. It is worth mentioning that Egrag Crypto has also predicted that the altcoin could rally to $27 in 60 days, aligning with the $1.5 trillion market cap projection.   At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.28, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
