Shan Aggarwal says the crypto industry is still underselling how fast and forceful the shift to the stablecoin standard will be, and how quickly AI will accelerate it.
Ethereum is entering a decisive phase in its bull cycle, pushing into fresh highs after finally breaking above its 2021 all-time high of $4,860. The move comes as bulls regained full control of the market following a remarkable 14% surge on Friday, marking one of the strongest single-day performances of the year. Related Reading: TRON Spot Market Signals Relief – Seller Dominance Weakens After Cycle High The rally was ignited by remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole symposium. In his speech, Powell hinted at a potential easing of US monetary policy, stating that restrictive conditions may no longer be appropriate as risks shift. The market reaction was immediate: within minutes, both equities and cryptocurrencies spiked sharply, with Ethereum leading the charge in the altcoin sector. At the same time, derivatives market data confirms the intensity of the move. Open Interest (OI) surged aggressively as traders piled into leveraged positions, reflecting renewed speculative appetite. The sudden influx of liquidity added fuel to Ethereum’s rally, pushing price momentum beyond its multi-year resistance level. With ETH now in uncharted territory, analysts see potential for continuation as long as OI expansion does not overheat into excessive leverage. The coming weeks will determine whether this breakout sustains or turns into another volatile correction. Ethereum Derivatives Signal Historic Momentum Ethereum’s breakout into new highs is being reinforced by extraordinary action in the derivatives market. According to top analyst Maartunn, at least $3.18 billion in new positions have entered Ethereum derivatives within just 24 hours, pushing Open Interest (OI) up nearly 10%. He described this as “insane stuff,” highlighting the scale and speed at which traders are positioning for the next move. This surge in OI indicates aggressive speculation, with investors betting on Ethereum’s momentum continuing after breaching its 2021 all-time high. While higher OI often fuels rallies by injecting liquidity, it can also create sharp volatility if leveraged positions unwind. Still, the magnitude of the inflows reflects growing conviction in ETH’s upside potential. At the same time, Ethereum’s Taker Buy Volume (hourly) has reached a multi-month high of $5.76 billion. This metric, which captures aggressive market buy orders, shows that demand is not just speculative but also immediate. Such strong taker-side activity often coincides with breakout phases, when bulls dominate both spot and derivatives markets.

Price Surges To Retest New Highs The 4-hour ETH chart shows Ethereum exploding higher, pushing above $4,800 after a sharp breakout from recent consolidation. This surge follows a bounce near the 100-period SMA (green line around $4,298), where bulls defended support aggressively before sending the price into a vertical move. Ethereum is now retesting its previous all-time high region around $4,860, with momentum signaling strong buying pressure. The 50-period SMA (blue line) is turning upward again, confirming a short-term bullish structure. Meanwhile, the 200-period SMA (red line around $3,994) remains comfortably below the price, showing the broader uptrend is intact. Related Reading: Bitcoin Retail Transfers Collapse: Lowest Since Bull Market Peak In 2021 This rally also broke through a series of lower highs formed during the recent pullback, suggesting that bearish control has faded. Volume spikes during the breakout add confidence to the strength of this move. If bulls sustain momentum, Ethereum could enter price discovery, targeting the $5,000 psychological level. However, if rejection occurs at $4,860, ETH may retest the $4,400–$4,500 support zone, where the moving averages converge. The chart highlights a critical phase: Ethereum either continues its breakout toward new highs or consolidates before another attempt. Bulls clearly hold the upper hand after this explosive breakout.

Market analyst Barri C has laid out what he believes will be the emotional journey of investors as XRP moves through major price milestones. His prediction is not on traditional tools like charts, candlestick patterns, or complex technical indicators. According to him, investors will go from laughing at the digital asset to feeling panic and then chasing it in fear of missing out. In the early stages, people often dismiss cryptocurrencies, claiming they have no real value. But as time passes and the XRP price climbs, that attitude will shift into doubt, regret, and finally desperation to buy in at any cost. Barri C: XRP Investors Will Laugh, Doubt, And Panic At $4, $10, And $100 Barri C says the first stage of investor reaction begins at $4. At this level, many people will mock XRP. They will joke about it being a “shit coin” and point out that the price has reached this level before. In their eyes, this is not a milestone worth noticing, so they laugh it off. Related Reading: Trump’s Pro-Crypto PAC Gets $21 Million Bitcoin Donation From Billionaire Founders The mood changes when XRP hits $10. Even though it is only a small step higher, it feels more serious because the number now has two digits. People begin to feel uneasy, but they still hold on to the belief that the coin will crash again. They convince themselves they will be able to repurchase it at a cheaper price later. The real shock, according to Barri C, comes when XRP reaches the $100 mark. At this point, a wave of realization hits investors who had dismissed or underestimated the token for years, as they suddenly recognize the scale of the opportunity they passed up. Panic begins to spread across the market as latecomers scramble to get in, while early critics are with deep regret for not taking action sooner, watching the price climb beyond what once seemed impossible. Why $1,000 XRP Could Trigger Mass Adoption According to Barri C, the most dramatic stage comes when XRP reaches $1,000. At this point, the fear of missing out, often called FOMO, takes control of the market. Everyone, from regular people to long-time critics, will feel desperate to own some XRP.

The demand will rise quickly as people rush in, not wanting to be left behind. For many, it will no longer matter how high the price has gone. The only thought will be to buy before it climbs even more. Barri C adds that this stage is also when XRP could be more than just a cryptocurrency, evolving into the backbone of a new global financial system that supports cross-border payments and institutional transactions. The mix of FOMO and belief in its role in finance would push people from all sides, from supporters, skeptics, and even haters, to grab a share. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

The Bitcoin (BTC) market registered an impressive 4% price bounce on Friday, following dovish policy comments by US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The premier cryptocurrency now trades above $116,000, nullifying earlier losses seen in the past week. Interestingly, prominent market analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino has outlined the implications of this price rebound regarding the BTC price trajectory. Related Reading: Bitcoin Slides Below $120K as Buyers Retreat, Is the Rally Already Over? Bitcoin’s Latest Bounce Revives Bullish Momentum – Price Targets To Watch In an X post on August 22, Severino explains that Bitcoin showed resilience in its price recovery on Friday by bouncing off the lower boundary of a long-standing ascending channel, tagged as the “Wall of Worry.” Notably, this lower boundary has acted as a key support zone for the leading cryptocurrency, stretching as far back as November 2023. Following each bounce off this support, Bitcoin has popularly reached the upper boundary, raising many expectations of a price surge at this moment. According to the channel analysis, Severino shows that the immediate technical target lies at the median line around $144,000, representing a roughly 24% advance from current levels. Interestingly, should bullish momentum persist, the next major resistance zone would align near the upper boundary of the channel at $183,000. However, a decisive break below the ascending channel would invalidate the bullish structure, potentially triggering a broader retracement toward the $95,000–$100,000 region. Related Reading: When Will Bitcoin Bottom Out? This Could Be The Signal To Watch Bitcoin Market Outlook At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $115,641, reflecting a 3.21% gain in the last 24 hours. This positive performance is accompanied by a 38.78% gain in daily trading volume, currently valued at $80.33 billion. However, losses of 1.76% and 1.94% on the weekly and monthly charts indicate that new market entrants are yet to break even. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Jordan Pivato is predicting the current market cycle to peak on October 21, 2025. This projection is based on historical data showing that Bitcoin cycles tend to extend slightly longer with each iteration. While the previous cycle lasted 548 days, Pivato estimates the ongoing one will span 550 days, placing the top in late October. He further points to Bitcoin’s strong seasonal performance in October as additional support for his call. Historically, October has been Bitcoin’s most bullish month, logging gains in six of the past twelve years and recording just two losing Octobers in that period. On average, Bitcoin has delivered a 46.72% monthly gain in October, with a median increase of 10.82%, making it the most favorable month in the calendar year for BTC performance.

Ethereum (ETH) just delivered one of its strongest moves in years, breaking its all-time high of around $4,860 after a bullish surge on Friday. The cryptocurrency soared by more than 13% in a single day, marking a pivotal moment for the market and confirming the strength of Ethereum’s ongoing rally. Related Reading: TRON Spot Market Signals Relief – Seller Dominance Weakens After Cycle High Momentum is firmly on the side of the bulls, as Ethereum continues to outperform Bitcoin. While BTC consolidates around the same price range it held a month ago, ETH has taken the lead, strengthening the case for an extended altcoin rally. The market is entering a phase where altcoins are beginning to show strength across the board, with Ethereum spearheading this trend. Adding to the optimism, top analyst Ted Pillows shared fresh insights pointing to Ethereum’s continued dominance in decentralized finance (DeFi). He emphasized that Ethereum remains the number 1 chain in DeFi, reinforcing its position as the backbone of the sector. With institutional adoption rising, exchange supply shrinking, and derivatives activity heating up, many see Ethereum as primed for a sustained rally. Ethereum Netflows Surge Amid Fed Speculation Ethereum’s dominance in the crypto market has once again been reinforced by its recent on-chain activity. Over the last seven days, Ethereum recorded a netflow of +$516.4 million, significantly outpacing all other networks. To put this into perspective, the second-largest, Polygon, registered just $102.9 million over the same period. This vast difference highlights Ethereum’s position as the clear leader in attracting and holding liquidity. The timing of this surge is tied closely to macroeconomic developments. Markets began to heat up after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s remarks at Jackson Hole, where he noted that “with policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” This statement has fueled widespread speculation that the Fed could cut interest rates in September, sparking renewed optimism across both traditional and crypto markets. Ethereum’s strong netflows reflect both institutional and retail conviction. Investors are positioning for further upside in anticipation of improved liquidity conditions. The inflow surge signals not only buying pressure but also a growing shift toward Ethereum as the primary vehicle for DeFi, staking, and treasury strategies. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Score Index Signals Fading Momentum: Room For Downside? Weekly Price Analysis: Reaching New ATH Ethereum (ETH) has officially broken into uncharted territory, setting fresh all-time highs on the weekly chart as shown. The breakout above the 2021 peak near $4,860 confirms a major bullish structure after months of consolidation and a sharp rally in recent weeks. ETH closed this candle strongly, near $4,876, representing an almost 9% surge within the week. The structure highlights sustained bullish momentum. With ETH trading well above its 50-week ($2,823), 100-week ($2,794), and 200-week ($2,446) moving averages. This alignment — with shorter-term moving averages trending above the longer-term ones — reinforces the bullish trend. Momentum indicators also suggest that buyers remain in control, supported by institutional flows and derivatives positioning.

On the downside, immediate support rests around the $4,300–$4,200 zone, which coincides with the breakout region. Losing this area could invite deeper corrections, but bulls are currently defending it strongly. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

After falling below $3, the XRP price looks to be entering into another triangle setup that could ultimately end up in a breakout. This formation on the 4-Hour chart began back in the month of July and could be headed to a natural close in the next few weeks, especially as sellers look to be tiring out at this level. The Support Level To Watch For XRP Pseudonymous crypto analyst TheSignalyst pointed to an interesting formation on the XRP price chart amid the descent into bearish territory. This is the formation of what the analyst has referred to as the “perfect triangle” setup, with the possibility of a breakout at the end of this setup. Related Reading: This 7-Year-Old Bitcoin Whale Just Sold $76M In BTC To Buy This Altcoin First and foremost, TheSignalyst highlighted that the XRP price has since been coiling up inside a textbook symmetrical triangle. This is happening on the 4-Hour chart as both bulls and bears move to defend the next major levels in he end. For the bulls, they continue to struggle to hold the support above $2.78, with the price pushing further downward due to the sell pressure. Meanwhile, the bears are still mounting resistance all inside this triangle, with a possible cross of both trendlines happening soon. So far, the bears seem to have more control since the XRP price continues to bear down, and the altcoin is now already testing the lower bound of the triangle. With the mounting pressure, bulls must maintain this lower bound if there is to be any recovery. If this level holds, then the analyst says a potential bounce back could be expected for XRP, and this would take it toward the upper boundary. Related Reading: Analyst Puts XRP Cycle Top Above $20, But Says Price Must Hold Last Line Of Defense In the case of a bounce back, XRP could see an over 14% increase in price to retest the $3.2 level again. This is where the bears come in once again with resistance, and sellers will need to push back at this level in order to invalidate the uptrend. However, if the lower trendline does not hold above $2.78 and bears are able to break below it, then it could signal a sustained downtrend. A breakdown from this level would invalidate the “perfect triangle” setup and likely push the XRP price back down toward $2.5, where there is major buy support.
