Crypto analyst CasiTrades has predicted that the XRP price could still crash to $1.4 in the final wave of this downtrend. This comes despite bullish catalysts such as the Fed rate cut, which could lift the altcoin to new highs.  Analyst Predicts XRP Price Crash To $1.4 In an X post, CasiTrades stated that exchanges are aligning toward their .618 retracements, with Binance showing a crash to between $1.35 and $1.46 for the XRP price. She noted that this next wave down would complete the macro Wave 2 correction, setting the stage for the next Wave 3 impulse that could send XRP toward $6.50 or $10. Related Reading: Technical Analysis Suggests XRP’s Playbook From 2017 Could Repeat In 2025 This came as the analyst remarked that the XRP price was at a major decision point, with the price continuing to test the Wave 4 highs. She noted that this resistance is making another wave down a possibility. To invalidate the move down, CasiTrades stated that XRP needs to break and hold above $2.82 on Binance.  However, so far, the XRP price hasn’t done so, with CasiTrades noting that the price is still ranging between support and resistance. She explained that this leans toward this being a Wave 4, with the altcoin one final move lower before the next macro impulse. The analyst ruled out a V-shaped recovery, noting that price typically breaks through resistance immediately and decisively, which is not happening with the current price action.  She further remarked that the hesitation suggests that selling pressure isn’t fully exhausted for the XRP price. However, CasiTrades assured that the deeper support levels aren’t a reason to panic, as they are high conviction accumulation zones. Meanwhile, the analyst highlighted a discrepancy in the price action on different exchanges.  She noted that the XRP price on Binance wicked to $0.77 during the $19 billion liquidation event, while on Coinbase, XRP never reached its .618 retracement level. CasiTrades then reiterated that until $2.82 breaks, the price action favors one final wave down before the next major move up. XRP’s Bull Run Isn’t Over Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has assured that the bull run isn’t over for the XRP price, despite predictions that the top may be in. He stated that as long as XRP holds above $2.20 and $1.97 as monthly closes, then there is no structural break. He also believes that the altcoin and other risk assets are about to “roar.” Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Maps Out The XRP Price Roadmap From $3 To $27 Egrag Crypto noted that quantitative tightening is still active and that Fed rate cuts are just beginning. In line with this, he declared that the last leg up is still waiting to play out. He claimed that cycles don’t end when 50% of traders are cautious, but do when everyone is “drunk on euphoria.” At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.6, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

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

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

The Bitcoin supply in profit has seen a sharp decline amid the latest crypto market crash. This has raised concerns that BTC could suffer a further crash, as holders who are in the red may move to offload their coins.  Bitcoin Supply In Profit Drops Amid Market Crash On-chain analytics platform Glassnode revealed in a report that the Bitcoin supply in profit has historically dropped to around 85%, with 15% of the supply sitting at a loss. This has occurred whenever the BTC price breaks down from a new all-time high (ATH) and trades around the short-term holders’ cost basis, as is happening now.  Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Supercycle Still In Play? Wave 3 Tells A Story Of A Surge Glassnode noted that this marks a pivotal phase for Bitcoin, as this is where the market tests the conviction of investors who had bought near recent highs. This pattern is said to be playing out for the third time in this current cycle. The on-chain analytics platform warned that if BTC fails to recover above the $113,100 range, a deeper contraction could send a larger share of the Bitcoin supply into loss.  Glassnode further stated that this deeper contraction could amplify the stress among recent Bitcoin buyers, which could set the stage for a broader capitulation across the market. The platform also alluded to the Supply Quantile Cost Basis to explain why it is essential for BTC to reclaim the short-term holders’ cost basis above $113,000.  Bitcoin is said to be struggling to hold above the 0.85 quantile at $108,600. Failure to hold this has historically indicated structural market weakness and often preceded deeper corrections toward the 0.75 quantile, which now aligns near $97,500. This puts BTC at risk of dropping below $100,000 for the first time since May.  A Longer Consolidation Phase May Be Necessary Glassnode stated that from a macro perspective, the repeated demand exhaustion suggests that Bitcoin may require a longer consolidation phase to rebuild strength. This exhaustion is said to be clearer with the Long-Term Holder Spend Volume. These long-term holders have increased their spending with the 30D-SMA rising from the 10,000 BTC baseline to over 22,000 BTC daily since the market peak in July.  Related Reading: Is Bitcoin About To See A Repeat Of 2020-2021? What Happened After The Last Flash Crash Glassnode noted that such persistent distribution indicates profit-taking from seasoned investors, which has contributed to the current Bitcoin weakness. Bitcoin OGs have continued to offload their coins at an unprecedented rate, putting significant selling pressure on BTC. Onchain Lens recently revealed that a particular whale moved 3,003 BTC to Binance, likely in a bid to sell, while also shorting BTC with a position worth $227 million. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $108,800, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst Anthony has predicted that the Dogecoin price could rally to $3.25. He also provided a timeline for when the foremost meme coin could reach this price target, which will mark a new all-time high (ATH).  When The Dogecoin Price Will reach $3.25 In an X post, Anthony stated that the Dogecoin price will reach $3.25 in the next three months. However, the analyst didn’t mention what would serve as the catalyst for this parabolic rally for the foremost meme coin. A potential rally to $3.25 would represent a 1,500% increase from DOGE’s current price. Related Reading: Dogecoin Adoption: Food Chain With Over 4,000 Locations Announces DOGE Payments Meanwhile, this would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the Dogecoin price, with its current ATH at $0.73. In another X post, Anthony stated that Elon Musk’s Tesla is about to start accepting DOGE and that the meme coin will see a 20x increase from its current price. This indicates that the analyst is banking on this potential move as one of the catalysts for a new ATH for DOGE.  However, there has been no indication from Elon Musk that Tesla will soon accept DOGE for payments. The world’s richest man has been quiet about the meme coin and hasn’t shilled it since leaving the DOGE agency. Meanwhile, there is also no update on whether Musk’s X payments will enable DOGE payments, which could also be bullish for the Dogecoin price.  Meanwhile, the potential launch of the Dogecoin ETFs is another catalyst that could spark a significant rally for the Dogecoin price. The SEC is expected to approve these ETFs once the U.S. government shutdown ends. The funds could drive new inflows from institutional investors into the DOGE ecosystem.  DOGE Preparing For Major Rally Crypto analyst Ether stated that the Dogecoin price is gathering strength on the uptrend, as it is holding the 25MA support and has successfully completed a falling channel breakout and retest. The analyst added that this pattern remains the same as in the previous two cycles, with DOGE expected to experience an accumulation phase before it records a parabolic rally.  The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the Dogecoin price could rally to $1.9 during this parabolic phase. In the short term, crypto analyst Crypto Kaleo is expecting the DOGE price to reclaim $0.25. He noted that there is a lot of thin air to fill from the market crash a couple of weeks back. DOGE had crashed from $0.2 back then when Trump first announced the 100% tariffs on China, which sparked a crypto market crash.  Related Reading: Pattern That Led To Dogecoin Price 36,000% Surge In 2021 Has Emerged Again, Will History Repeat?

The Dogecoin price may be preparing for a powerful breakout after a long period of sideways trading and consolidation. A recent market outlook suggests that DOGE is forming a bullish structure that could lead to a strong upward move. However, analysts warn that the best buying opportunities remain limited to specific lower price levels before the next major rally begins. Chart Pattern Signals Dogecoin Price Breakout Toward $0.5 Market analyst Elite Crypto noted in a recent post on X social media that the Dogecoin price appears to be forming a major breakout pattern, signaling a potential upward move ahead. The analyst’s chart shows a textbook Cup and Handle pattern, a formation that is typically associated with long-term bullish reversals.   Related Reading: Pattern That Led To Dogecoin Price 36,000% Surge In 2021 Has Emerged Again, Will History Repeat? Dogecoin’s chart setup indicates that the meme coin has completed the “Cup” phase, where prices gradually curved upwards after a long period of accumulation. Now, price action is in the “handle” stage, which, upon completion, usually precedes a breakout to higher levels.  In Elite Crypto’s chart, the cup’s base extends from early 2022 through 2024, with Dogecoin consolidating steadily before beginning a rebound into 2025. The market analyst has indicated that if history repeats, the DOGE price could experience a strong rally toward the $0.50 mark, a potential gain of over 160% from its current levels around $0.19.   The chart also illustrates a crucial accumulation zone highlighted in green, where the price has been coiling. According to Elite Crypto, this range represents an ideal accumulation area before a larger move unfolds. He emphasized that any price action below the $0.155 level should be considered a solid buying opportunity for spot investors.  Reversal Structure Confirms New DOGE Buying Zone In a separate X analysis, crypto market expert Vexe also pointed out a key buying zone for the Dogecoin price. He highlighted that DOGE has cleared all downside liquidity and is not holding firmly above its weekly support range.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Price: ‘$6.9 Is A Magnet’, Analyst Predicts The analyst’s chart shows that the Dogecoin price action recently rebounded from a key demand area after testing lower levels. The price has stabilized near $0.20, suggesting that sellers may be exhausted, and a potential reversal is taking shape. The green shaded area on the chart highlights the reversal zone, which Vexe calls an ideal buying zone.  His chart also features a descending trendline connecting multiple swing highs from the previous cycle. Dogecoin has already tested the resistance line and shows early signs of breaking out. Above the resistance line, Vexe projects a price target of $0.49, representing a potential upside of roughly 327.67% from the lower support zone.  Notably, this $0.49 target would also reflect a 157% increase from DOGE’s price of $0.19. According to CoinMarketCap’s data, the meme coin is currently down by approximately 4% in just one day and 28% over the past month.

Crypto analyst Captain Faibik has predicted that the Bitcoin price could crash to as low as $50,000, representing a 60% crash for the flagship crypto. The analyst explained why he has turned bearish on BTC, while declaring that the bull run is over.  Why The Bitcoin Price Could Crash To $50,000 In an X post, Captain Faibik shared an accompanying chart which showed that the Bitcoin price could crash to $50,000 from its current level. This came as the analyst stated that he is turning bearish on BTC for the mid-term. He further remarked that the bull run is over and that now late buyers are getting trapped.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Open Interest Hits Lowest Level In 2025, Is A Pump Or Crash Coming Next? Captain Faibik went on to note that the Bitcoin price is still moving inside the rising wedge, trading above the weekly MA50 while bulls remain in control for now. However, he warned that the structure is weakening and momentum is fading. Notably, the analyst had earlier mentioned a possible correction toward the $100,000 level, which remains a possibility with BTC trading close to this range.  The Bitcoin price has continued to show signs of weakness since hitting a new all-time high (ATH) above $126,000 earlier in the month. Rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China have contributed to the recent declines in BTC. The flagship crypto again dropped yesterday after Trump threatened to impose a 155% tariff on China if they do not reach a trade deal by November 1.  Meanwhile, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also indicated that the Bitcoin price may be topping out. This came as the analyst revealed that a BTC monthly LMACD cross was happening. The analyst noted that historically, these crosses have marked the beginning of the bear phase or a major cycle top. However, he added that this is still not confirmed as the monthly candle hasn’t closed yet.  The BTC Top Is Not Yet In Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto recently asserted that the cycle top is not yet in and that the Bitcoin price will reach $150,000 before the cycle is over. He explained that the rate of ascent should increase at an increasing rate into the final 5th subwave, which will make the blow off top. The analyst added that this implies that all impulses moving forward will be more aggressive than the ones prior.  Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Price Is Ready To Surge: ‘We Would Already Be Below $108,000 If The Crash Wasn’t Over’ CrediBULL Crypto further stated that the Bitcoin price is currently in subwave 2 of the final 5th wave after completing the impulsive subwave 1, which took it from $74,000 to $112,000. He predicted that subwave 2 should bottom between the current level and $74,000, which is the higher timeframe invalidation.  Meanwhile, he explained that the measured move of the 1st subwave was $37,500. As such, a fair assumption is that the 3rd and 5th waves will be larger, which implies a minimum target of $150,000 for the Bitcoin price by the end of the cycle.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $107,600, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Cantonese Cat has drawn attention to the current Dogecoin price action, making comparisons with the 36,000% rally recorded in the last cycle. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ghost has also provided a bullish outlook for the meme coin, predicting it could still rally to $1.  How The Current Dogecoin Price Action Differs From Last Cycle In an X post, Cantonese Cat highlighted some differences between the current Dogecoin price action and that from the last cycle, when it recorded a 36,000% rally. The analyst noted that the last cycle was an anomaly because DOGE punched through the ‘Superlchi’ cloud without ever back-testing it that cycle and just went on its massive run.   Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Set To Go On A 2,000% Cyclical Surge To $4 Cantonese Cat then went on to mention that the Dogecoin price has punched through this Superlchi cloud in this cycle and claimed it from resistance to support. However, unlike in the previous cycle, DOGE has back-tested this level for more than half a year and has established it as good support.  The analyst revealed that the most recent back-test happened this month, with a huge wick showing demand. Cantonese Cat explained that this is more consistent with what generally happens during a bull market and asserted that DOGE still has its bullish market structure. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that $0.18 is the key level that DOGE needs to stay above to maintain this structure.  Crypto analyst Ghost also indicated that the bull market structure was still intact for the Dogecoin price. This came as the analyst highlighted a ‘Parabolic Arc,’ which they noted is still intact and predicted that the target for DOGE in this cycle is the psychological $1 level.  A Rebound For DOGE May Be On The Horizon Crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that the Dogecoin price wants to rebound and that the key targets are $0.29, $0.45, and $0.86. This follows DOGE’s recent crash below the $0.2 level amid the broader crypto market decline. This has occurred due to rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China with the Trump tariffs.  Related Reading: $50 Million Injection: Here’s Why The Dogecoin Price Could See An Explosive Rally Meanwhile, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade stated that a double bottom is on the way for the Dogecoin price. He added that a catalyst is needed to ignite this next move up for DOGE. A potential catalyst could be the imminent rate cut, with the Fed expected to lower rates at next week’s FOMC meeting. Trump is also set to meet China’s President Xi Jinping, which could ease trade tensions and potentially lead to a trade deal between the two countries. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.2, up over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

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

Rumors are circulating that BlackRock has partnered with Ripple to tokenize real-world assets on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). There has been no confirmation from either party, suggesting that these rumors may not be accurate.   Rumors Circulate About BlackRock’s Partnership With Ripple and XRP In an X post, XRP influencer JackTheRippler said that there are rumors that BlackRock is about to announce a partnership with Ripple to tokenize assets on the XRPL. Other XRP influencers, such as CryptoSensei and Bale, also shared the rumor, sparking excitement among XRP community members.  Related Reading: Investment CEO Highlights Why Ripple’s XRP Has The Strongest Utility In The Industry However, BlackRock and Ripple have yet to issue an official announcement about the rumored partnership, suggesting these claims may not be true. However, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink confirmed that they are building their own technology to tokenize several of their funds and expand their crypto offerings.  The BlackRock CEO noted that tokenization can help crypto-native investors access more traditional assets. He further remarked that if they could tokenize an ETF, they could get these investors into the more traditional long-term retirement products. Notably, the asset manager already has products, such as its tokenized money market fund, BUIDL, which runs on the Ethereum network.  It is worth mentioning that Ripple already partnered with the fund’s manager, Securitize, to enable off-ramp support for BlackRock’s BUIDL using their RLUSD stablecoin. This has so far been the closest to a partnership between Ripple and BlackRock amid rumors that the asset manager plans to tokenize assets on the XRP Ledger.  However, Ripple has so far helped advance upgrades to the XRP Ledger, which could compel institutions like BlackRock to tokenize their funds on the XRPL. This has included the launch of the Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) standard, which is designed to simplify the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).  Ripple Expands Into Treasury Markets While rumors of a Ripple and BlackRock partnership do not appear to be accurate, there are other recent developments that provide a bullish outlook for XRP. This includes Ripple’s expansion into the corporate treasury markets through the $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury, a provider of treasury management systems.  Related Reading: The XRP Price Roadmap To $8: How An Over 50% Bounce Could Materialize As part of the deal, Ripple and GTreasury will focus on enabling customers to carry out real-time cross-border payments using Ripple’s payment solution, in which XRP serves as the bridge currency. Meanwhile, according to Bloomberg, Ripple is also working to raise up to $1 billion to establish an XRP treasury company. The crypto firm plans to contribute some of its XRP holdings to set up the firm, while the proposed $1 billion is expected to be raised through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.35, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The Dogecoin price has received a major boost following House of Doge’s announcement of its plans to list on the Nasdaq. The firm revealed that the deal is backed by $50 million, suggesting it could inject fresh liquidity into the Dogecoin ecosystem.  Dogecoin Sees Fresh $50M Liquidity As House of Doge Secures Nasdaq Listing In a press release, House of Doge announced that it has secured a Nasdaq listing through a merger with Brag House Holdings, a deal backed by over $50 million in investment capital, which is a positive for Dogecoin. Brag House will acquire House of Doge in a reverse takeover transaction, which is subject to approval from both companies’ boards of directors.  Related Reading: The Historical Performance That Says Dogecoin Price Will Hit $11.71 By End Of Year House of Doge, the commercial arm of the Dogecoin Foundation, noted that this proposed merger will advance mainstream Dogecoin adoption and institutionalize the meme coin’s utility. The firm also highlighted how it boasts 837 million DOGE within its framework, representing the largest institutional Dogecoin holdings in the global crypto ecosystem.  House of Doge has already built an institutional foundation for the Dogecoin ecosystem through its partnerships with 21Shares, Robinhood, and CleanCore Solutions. The firm played a key role in helping CleanCore set up its Dogecoin treasury. Now, the firm is looking to deepen the push for the institutional adoption of DOGE and has secured $50 million to boost the meme coin’s ecosystem.  House of Doge revealed that it plans to use this capital to lay the foundation for a “scalable, transparent, and yield-producing Dogecoin economy” for both institutional investors and the DOGE community. The firm also confirmed that the newly combined entity will hold a “significant amount of Dogecoin within its framework,” indicating that some of the capital it secured will be used to purchase DOGE.  Catalyst For A DOGE Rally The House of Doge’s proposed merger could serve as one of the catalysts for an explosive Dogecoin rally to new highs. The firm has outlined several ways it plans to boost DOGE’s institutional adoption, which could spark more institutional inflows into the meme coin’s ecosystem.  Related Reading: Broadening Wedge Could Send Dogecoin Price Flying, But Watch These Key Factors Notably, this comes amid the imminent launch of the Dogecoin ETFs, which are expected to drive fresh liquidity into DOGE. Crypto analyst The Historical Performance That Says Dogecoin Price Will Hit $11.71 By End Of Year, that the meme coin could rally to as high as $0.6533 even as the institutional catalysts line up for Dogecoin. From a technical perspective, the analyst stated that DOGE’s uptrend remains intact and that, as prices hold above a major resistance trendline, the target remains $0.6533. He added that the uptrend can spark a run of over 200% to reach this target.  At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.2, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto exchange Changelly has predicted when the Shiba Inu price could delete three extra zeros and rally to as high as $0.01. Based on the prediction, the top meme coin is still over a decade away from achieving this milestone, even as it currently underperforms in this market cycle.   When The Shiba Inu Price Could Hit $0.01 Changelly predicted in a blog post that the Shiba Inu price could reach $0.01 by September 2040. Specifically, they highlighted $0.0106 as the maximum price that SHIB could reach by then. Meanwhile, the crypto exchange projects that the meme coin could still reach $0.0139 by year-end 2040, highlighting that price level as the maximum for December 2040.  Related Reading: Why The Shiba Inu Consolidation Could End Rapidly With An Explosive Price Rally The crypto exchange also expects the Shiba Inu price to record further upside from that level, predicting that the meme coin could reach a maximum price of $0.0177 by year-end 2050. This marks a gain of 160809.1% from the meme coin’s current price level. The SHIB burn is one of the mechanisms the SHIB community has adopted to achieve the $0.01 target for the meme coin.  The Shiba Inu burn tracker explained that reducing the number of tokens in circulation could increase the Shiba Inu price over time. The platform added that the community’s goal is to raise the meme coin’s price to $0.01. According to the Shiba Inu burn tracker, SHIB’s circulating supply needs to be 224 trillion for it to get to this price target.  Therefore, 61.98% of the meme coin’s circulating supply must be removed from circulation, representing 589.5 trillion tokens. SHIB currently has a circulating supply of 589.24 trillion, indicating there is still a long way to go before the meme coin reaches its 224 trillion target. However, the meme coin would also have to witness significant demand for these burns to have an impact on the Shiba Inu price.  A Recovery Is On The Cards For SHIB Crypto analyst Javon Marks stated that a more than 150% recovery move to $0.000032 is on the cards for the Shiba Inu price based on a bullish divergence that has formed for the meme coin. This comes as SHIB continues to struggle, with the meme coin one of the top altcoins with a year-to-date (YTD) loss.  Crypto analyst SHIB Knight said that the first target for the Shiba Inu price as part of its recovery is $0.00001209, which is the former accumulation zone. The analyst noted that when the market turns positive, SHIB is often among the first to recover. He claimed that this is mainly because of the strength of the SHIB Army.  Related Reading: Here’s Why Analysts Are Predicting A Massive Shiba Inu Price Rally In October At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001065, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Top crypto analyst Capo has indicated that the Bitcoin price crash is not over. This comes amid a rebound in the flagship crypto, which has climbed from the lows recorded during the recent crypto market crash.  Analyst Predicts 30% Drop For The Bitcoin Price In his latest market update, Capo predicted that the Bitcoin price could still drop another 30%. This came as he noted that the flagship crypto remains above $100,000, far from the $60,000 to $70,000 range that would align with a complete market correction. He added that until then, the downside potential remains significant.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Short-Term Prediction: Why The Price Will Cross $140,000 By The End Of October This market update comes amid the crypto market crash last Friday, when Bitcoin fell to as low as $104,000 following Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on China. $19 billion was wiped out from the crypto market, marking the largest liquidation event ever. Capo opined that the event was likely the ‘pre-Black Swan event’ and the first phase of something larger.  The analyst noted that altcoins have already seen historic capitulation, but that several major coins still haven’t fully flushed. Capo asserted that the wicks should eventually be filled and that lower levels may still be ahead for the Bitcoin price and the broader crypto market. Meanwhile, he mentioned that a brief consolidation over the weekend was likely but that more downside should follow this week as the global markets open.  The Bitcoin price bounced over the weekend, reaching as high as $116,000, as long positions piled up again following the wipeout. Crypto analyst The King Fisher highlighted upside liquidity of up to $118,000, noting that “weekends are for BTC range liquidations fishing.” It is worth mentioning that BTC had also rebounded thanks to Trump’s statement on Sunday, in which he allayed fears of a full-blown trade war with China.  Bull Market Is Not Done Yet Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto assured that the bull market is not yet, indicating more upside for the Bitcoin price. The analyst explained that the bull market starts when BTC reclaims its 50 SMA and that the bear market starts when it loses it. The flagship crypto also achieved a weekly candle close above $112,000, which confirmed Titan of Crypto’s thesis.  Meanwhile, crypto analyst Jelle noted that the Bitcoin price is back at the $115,000 resistance area. He further remarked that a successful reclaim of this level could send the flagship crypto to a new all-time high (ATH). BTC had hit a new all-time high above $126,000 before last week’s crash, which erased its October gains.  Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Dogecoin Prices Are Crashing At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $115,100, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices are crashing today, sparking bearish sentiment in the crypto market. This followed the U.S. President Donald Trump’s move, which has ignited fears of a full-blown trade war with China.  Why The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin Prices Are Crashing The Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices are down today, according to CoinMarketCap data. The flagship crypto has dropped to as low as $104,000 over the last 24 hours, wiping out its early October gains that led to a new all-time high (ATH) above $126,000. Ethereum dropped to as low as $3,400, while Dogecoin broke below the psychological $0.2 level and fell to $0.11.  Related Reading: Institutions Dump Massive Amounts Of Bitcoin And Ethereum As XRP And Solana Buying Ramps Up This massive crash in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin followed Trump’s Truth Social post, in which he announced that the U.S. will impose a 100% tariff on China, over and above any tariffs they are currently paying, starting on November 1. He added that they will also impose Export Controls on any and all crucial software from China starting on November 1.  Notably, Trump had earlier in the day threatened to massively increase tariffs on China, while stating that the country was becoming hostile. This initial threat caused Bitcoin to sharply drop below $120,000 from a high of around $122,000. Meanwhile, the Ethereum and Dogecoin prices also faced sharp declines.  Bitcoin was trading around $116,000 when Trump announced a 100% tariff on China, which sent the crypto market into a spiral. BTC’s further decline also pushed Ethereum and Dogecoin to intraday lows of $3,400 and $0.11, respectively, extending their market losses. Meanwhile, these massive declines for the crypto assets contributed to the largest liquidation event in crypto’s history.  CoinGlass data shows that $20 billion has been wiped out from the crypto market in the last 24 hours, driven by crashes in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices. This liquidation event was larger than the COVID-19 crash and the FTX bankruptcy crash.  Exchanges May Have Contributed To The Crash BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes suggested that crypto exchanges may have contributed to the crash in the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices. In an X post, he stated that the word on the street is that big CEX’s auto liquidation of collateral ties to cross-margined positions is why many altcoins “got smoked on the move down.” He congratulated those who bought the dip, stating that market participants are unlikely to see those levels again anytime soon on many high-quality altcoins.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Short-Term Prediction: Why The Price Will Cross $140,000 By The End Of October Crypto analyst Kevin Capital opined that the drop in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices was caused by serious issues across top exchanges like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Binance. He added that what makes it even worse is that these exchanges didn’t let people buy the dip at the lowest point. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst EtherNasyonaL has predicted that the Dogecoin price is well-primed for a parabolic rally. This came as he alluded to the meme coin’s historical performance, while declaring it was “parabolic coded.” Dogecoin Price Eyes Rally To $1 As Analyst Says Meme Coin Is ‘Parabolic Coded’ In an X post, EtherNasyonaL predicted that the Dogecoin price could rally to the psychological $1 level, hinting that the meme coin was well-positioned for a parabolic rally. The analyst highlighted DOGE’s historical performance in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2024, when it recorded gains of 246% and 373%, respectively. Based on this, he raised the possibility that the meme coin could also witness significant gains in this fourth quarter.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Dominance Eyes Drastic Rise Amid Rally — What This Means For Price EtherNasyonaL advised market participants to position themselves as the Dogecoin price eyes this parabolic rally to $1, which will mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the meme coin. In another X post, the crypto analyst again doubled down on his bullish forecast for the meme coin. He stated that the DOGE cycle 3 continues and is heading towards parabolic waves once again.  EtherNasyonaL noted that in the first cycle, the Dogecoin price rose by 21,825%, while in the second cycle, the meme coin rose by 54,890%. He further remarked that DOGE is up 800% in this third cycle from its borrow to the December 2024 peak of around $0.48. The analyst added that Dogecoin has made massive jumps after every bottom in the past, suggesting that this time will not be different.  EtherNasyonaL claimed that the chart suggests that the Dogecoin price may be on the verge of another major move. His accompanying chart showed that DOGE could rally above $1.5 on this next leg to the upside.  ‘Conservative’ Target Of $11 For DOGE Crypto analyst Dima Potts predicted that the Dogecoin price could gain 37x from its start price this year of $0.31, reaching $11.71 by the end of the year. He described this as his conservative target, as he was avoiding projecting a 283x move, which will follow the pattern of the 83x and 183x gains the meme coin recorded in the first and second cycles, respectively.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts What Dogecoin Investors Should Expect Price-Wise This Month However, Dima Potts suggested that the Dogecoin price may be mirroring its historical price action. He revealed that DOGE is once again approaching the yellow resistance line, currently around $0.41 on the weekly timeframe. The analyst added that if the meme coin closes above this level, history suggests it could be on the verge of another massive rally, similar to the parabolic moves in past cycles. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.25, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst PlanB has explained why the Bitcoin price may never drop below $100,000 again. This comes as market participants continue to speculate on whether the flagship crypto could fall below this psychological level if a full-blown bear market were to occur.  Bitcoin Price Has Likely Turned $100,000 Into Support PlanB stated in an X post that he will not be surprised if the Bitcoin price does not drop below $100,000 again as the market witnesses the $100,000 resistance turn into $100,000 support. The analyst further noted that the September close was the fifth consecutive monthly close above that psychological price level.  Related Reading: Here’s The Best Time To Buy Bitcoin As Impulse Wave Sets Path To $150,000 PlanB stated that the same thing happened when the Bitcoin price was trading at $10,000, $1,000, $100, and $10. The analyst’s remarks came as he noted that 63% of people think that Bitcoin will drop below $100,000. Notably, there were more calls for a drop below $100,000 towards the end of September when BTC dropped to as low as $108,000. Crypto influencer Ansem was among those who predicted that the flagship crypto would likely retest $90,000.  However, the Bitcoin price has since staged a remarkable comeback from the $108,000 lows, rallying to a new all-time high (ATH) above $126,000 to start the month. As a result, BTC is already up 7% to start the month, with October notably the flagship crypto’s second-best performing month after November, based on historical data.  It is worth noting that the Bitcoin price has traded above $100,000 since May 8 and has now been above this psychological level for over 150 days, its longest streak. Meanwhile, market participants are currently betting that it will likely stay this way. According to Polymarket data, there is only a 25% chance that BTC will drop below $100,000 by the end of this year.  BTC Bull Market Still On Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto declared that the crypto market is still on and questioned why market participants were in a rush to call the top. The analyst noted that the Stoch Relative Strength Index (RSI) crossovers keep aligning with strength. He added that the chart will tell them when the bull run is over, but for now, that is not the case.  Related Reading: Bitcoin’s 2021 Playbook Shows The Final Price Target For This Bull Cycle In another analysis, Titan of Crypto revealed that the Bitcoin price continues to print higher highs and higher lows. Based on this, he raised the possibility that BTC could rally to as high as $160,000 by the end of the year. This aligns with predictions by JPMorgan and Standard Chartered, which predict that BTC can reach $165,000 and $200,000, respectively, by year-end.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $122,000, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP community’s attention has been drawn to a $600 million transfer, which has sparked speculation about its potential impact on the altcoin’s price. The transfer notably originated from a Ripple wallet address, further fueling speculations that the crypto firm is dumping on retail investors.  $600 Million in XRP Tokens Moved by Ripple Spark Speculation Whale Alert data shows that Ripple moved 200 million XRP ($610 million) from one of its wallets, sparking speculation that the crypto firm was looking to offload these coins. Moreover, the transfer comes as XRP struggles to hold above the psychological $3 level, suggesting that the altcoin may be facing significant selling pressure.  Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Target Of $27 Still Holds – ‘The Ride Has Just Begun’ However, further on-chain data shows that Ripple simply moved these XRP tokens to another of its wallet addresses, suggesting that this was a routine operation rather than a move to offload these coins. An X user, XRP Liquidity, also clarified that the transfer was made from the ‘Ripple 1’ address to ‘Ripple 50’, which the account stated is “queuing for ODL, ETPs, Trust, and other Investments.” Another X user, Marc, also noted that the Ripple 50 wallet primarily interacts with the Binance 11 wallet and holds tokenized treasuries, including Ondo Finance’s tokenized treasury fund (OUSG). The crypto firm mainly utilizes its XRP holdings to support its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service, facilitating cross-border transfers through its payment services.  However, this latest transfer comes at a time when there is so much bearish sentiment among XRP community members. Popular community members, such as Crypto Bitlord, have consistently criticized Ripple and recently advised XRP holders to sell their tokens following Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz’s, announcement that he was resigning. Amid XRP’s struggles, the altcoin has now dropped in the crypto rankings by market cap, losing the number 3 spot to BNB.  A ‘Promising Buy Signal’ For XRP On-chain analytics platform Santiment has described the current FUD in the XRP community as a promising buy signal for the altcoin. The platform stated that the altcoin is seeing its highest level of retail FUD since the Trump tariffs were announced 6 months ago. According to Santiment, there have been more bearish comments than bullish for two out of the past three days.  The platform claimed that this development is generally a promising buy signal, as markets move in the opposite direction of small trader expectations. As such, XRP could witness a significant price surge amid these bearish sentiments. The XRP ETFs could serve as one of the catalysts for this potential price surge, although a SEC decision is on hold until the U.S. government shutdown ends.  Related Reading: XRP Short Squeeze: Analyst Reveals Available Trading Supply Could Fall To Bitcoin’s 21 Million At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading $2.84, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin supply on exchanges has hit a new low for the first time in six years, providing a bullish outlook for BTC. This comes as the flagship crypto continues to hit new all-time highs (ATHs), with the $130,000 target now in sight.  Bitcoin Supply On Exchanges Hit Six-Year Low Glassnode data shows that the Bitcoin supply on exchanges has fallen to a six-year low of around 2.8 million BTC. The last time the BTC balance on exchanges was this low was in June 2019, when the flagship crypto was trading at around $8,745. This development confirms that investors are accumulating Bitcoin at an unprecedented pace.  CryptoQuant data also confirms this development, with the Bitcoin exchange reserve currently at 2.5 million BTC, even lower than what is shown on Glassnode’s dashboard. This is bullish for the BTC price, as such massive demand usually precedes a major supply squeeze. Notably, this comes amid an increased demand from institutional investors, with the BTC ETFs recording $3.2 billion in weekly inflows last week, their second-largest since their launch last year.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Still On Track To Hit $165,000, JPMorgan Analysts Reveal Timeline This comes as institutional investors move to Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset as part of the debasement trade during this period of uncertainty caused by the U.S. government shutdown. Thanks to the increased demand, BTC is already up 9% to start this month and rallied to multiple all-time highs amid the ‘Uptober’ rally.  The Bitcoin price topped $126,000 for the first time ever yesterday and now looks on course to test the $130,000 milestone. With the massive demand from the BTC ETFs, there is the belief that the flagship crypto could hit this milestone this month. SoSo Value data shows that these funds took in $1.19 billion in net inflows yesterday, their highest daily inflow this year.  BTC Could Break Above $130,000 Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto has suggested that Bitcoin is on track to make a new all-time high (ATH) above $130,000. He noted that BTC is testing the same trendline that rejected it a few weeks ago. However, this time around, the weekly MACD is crossing bullish, which could spark the rally above $130,000. His accompanying chart showed that a rally to as high as $140,000 was a possibility if the flagship crypto flips $130,000 into support.  Related Reading: Bitcoin’s 2021 Playbook Shows The Final Price Target For This Bull Cycle Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto also noted that Bitcoin is currently facing resistance around its current price level, making it a key level to watch. He added that a meaningful breakout above this level will send BTC to between $136,000 and $150,000.   At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $124,500, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Chart Nerd has declared that XRP is set to mirror its 2017 cycle, when the price recorded a parabolic rally. He further revealed how high the altcoin could reach, with a double-digit price on the cards.  XRP Could Mirror 2017 Cycle And Eyes Rally To $27 Chart Nerd stated that XRP is gearing up for a 2017-style run and is unlikely to decline as low as $0.50. Instead, the analyst believes that the altcoin will hold the line above $2, which is the January 2018 candle close highs, and then record a parabolic rally to its Fibonacci extension targets at $8, $13, $15, and $27.  Related Reading: XRP Flips Green For First Time Since 2017, Pundit Predicts 500% Rally Chart Nerd was responding to an analysis from Captain Toblerone, who had earlier stated that XRP would continue to bleed until it reached $0.50. He advised XRP holders that if they are still in profit, it is not too late to sell 50% of their holdings or more and keep the cash to buy other, cheaper altcoins.  As part of his bullish outlook for XRP, Chart Nerd also noted that many of the altcoin’s largest returns have come from large Q4 rallies. He revealed that XRP recorded gains of 426%, 1,064%, and 240% in Q4 2014, 2017, and 2024, respectively. As such, there is the possibility that the altcoin could mount another run in this fourth quarter.   The XRP ETFs are expected to launch this fourth quarter and could serve as a catalyst for higher prices for the altcoin, similar to the same impact that the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs had on BTC and ETH, respectively. Crypto pundit UnknowDLT had also warned XRP holders not to sell their tokens in the next three months, noting that ISO 20022 global adoption is expected to occur by November 22, which could be positive for Ripple and XRP, by extension.   A Rally To $21 Is Possible  In an X post, crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto suggested that an XRP surge to $21 in this final massive rally was possible. However, he added that his conservative targets are between $6 and $10, although he noted that anything is possible in crypto. Notably, the analyst has in the past alluded to the 2017 cycle as one of the reasons why the altcoin could stage another parabolic rally.  Related Reading: XRP Price Faces 25% Drawdown Risk, But This Technical Point Is Key Meanwhile, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto also believes that XRP could rally to double-digits. He noted that the altcoin recorded a 1,250% rally in 2017 and a 560% surge in 2021. In line with this, the analyst remarked that if history repeats itself, then the altcoin could rally to $33 or $17 based on the gains recorded in 2017 and 2021, respectively.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.96, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Bobby revealed that the XRP price has completed a consolidation pattern, hinting at a potential parabolic rally for the altcoin soon. The analyst suggested that XRP’s price could rally to double digits once this rally occurs.  XRP Price Eyes Rally To $19 As It Completes Double-Bottom Pattern In an X post, Bobby indicated that the XRP price has completed the macro double-bottom pattern, which it had spent over seven years building. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the altcoin is now gearing up for a rally to as high as $19 following the completion of this consolidation pattern.  Related Reading: XRP Price Faces 25% Drawdown Risk, But This Technical Point Is Key Meanwhile, the analyst noted that the XRP price spent over nine months building support near the neckline of the massive W pattern. He added that the altcoin spent the same amount of time consolidating below the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of its latest macro swing high to swing low.  Bobby indicated that the XRP price rally will begin once it breaks through $3.02 and gains monthly acceptance above that level. He expects this move to take XRP into the take-profit levels he has highlighted on several occasions. These levels include $4.7, $6.4, $7.4, and possibly $19, all of which mark new all-time highs (ATHs) for the altcoin.  The analyst also predicts that the XRP ETFs could spark a rally to between $8 and $13 with possible wicks into the $20 range. These funds are expected to launch this month, depending on when the U.S. government shutdown ends. They provided a bullish outlook for XRP due to the amount of inflows that they could drive into the altcoin’s ecosystem. Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that Bobby had also earlier alluded to previous cycles as the reason XRP could rally to $13.  Analyst Sounds Warning To Bulls Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has warned XRP bulls that the XRP price needs to close above $3.13 to $3.20 on the 3-day chart to sustain the current bullish momentum. His warning followed XRP’s reclaim of the psychological $3 level, which he noted has wrecked the bears. However, the altcoin needs to close above this range, or the bulls are also in danger of getting wrecked.  Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Remains Bullish As This Level Holds Egrag Crypto stated that the XRP price could follow suit if Bitcoin and Ethereum get rejected on their current rallies. He added that the altcoin could head lower, which he believes might actually be better. He assured that the last impulsive move would be explosive and could lead to life-changing gains for the bulls. However, for now, he believes that XRP is simply ranging until it closes above $3.20.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

USDT issuer Tether has added a significant amount of Bitcoin to close out the third quarter, a development that has caught the attention of the crypto community. Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, also confirmed this purchase, as the company ranks among the largest BTC treasury companies.  Tether Adds 8,889 BTC To Bitcoin Holdings Arkham data shows that Tether bought 8,889 BTC for $1 billion, with the coins transferred from Bitfinex’s hot wallet to the USDT issuer’s Bitcoin reserves wallet. The company now holds 86,335 BTC, which is valued at $10.23 billion. Ardoino also confirmed the purchase in an X post, highlighting their effort to keep accumulating BTC.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Reaches ‘Critical Junction’: How A Rally To $139,000 Would Play Out BitInfoCharts data shows that Tether is currently one of the largest Bitcoin holders, controlling 0.4% of the flagship crypto’s supply. Meanwhile, based on BitcoinTreasuries data, the USDT issuer will rank as the second-largest BTC treasury company, just behind Michael Saylor’s Strategy.   Notably, Tether also has more Bitcoin exposure through its stake in Twenty One Capital (XXI), which is currently the third largest BTC treasury company, behind Strategy and Mara Holdings. XXI holds 43,514 BTC on its balance sheet, some of which it received from Tether as part of the USDT issuer’s investment.  Meanwhile, Tether has made it clear that it intends to continue buying as much Bitcoin as possible. Ardoino stated last month that while the world continues to become darker, they will continue to invest part of their profits in safe assets like BTC, gold, and land. This came as he clarified that his company wasn’t selling Bitcoin to buy more gold but was instead buying both assets for their reserves.  It is worth mentioning that Tether generates the most revenue among crypto protocols. DeFiLlama data shows that the stablecoin issuer has earned $22.27 million in revenue in the last 24 hours and $155.27 million in the last seven days. As such, the firm makes enough profits to keep buying BTC.  The Bottom For BTC Notably, Tether’s latest Bitcoin purchase came just as the BTC price bottomed out. The USDT issuer had bought these coins when the flagship crypto was trading at around $110,000. Since then, BTC has staged a parabolic rally, beginning this month with a gain of around 6%. Bitcoin had dropped to as low as $108,000 about a week ago.  Related Reading: These Analysts Predicted The Bitcoin Price Crash And Their Forecasts Say It’s Not Over Bitcoin is expected to record significant gains this month based on historical data. October is its second-best performing month, recording average gains of 20% over the years. Factors like a Fed rate cut could also help spark massive gains for the flagship crypto.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $118,400, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto pundit Mikybull Crypto has revealed that XRP has flipped green for the first time since 2017. Based on this, he predicted that the altcoin could record a rally of up to 500%, reaching $15 in the process.  XRP Eyes Rally To $15 As Price Flips Green In an X post, Mikybull Crypto predicted that XRP could rally to between $5 and $15. This came as the analyst noted that the altcoin has flipped green on the quarterly chart for the first time since 2017. He suggested that the rally of up to 500% may already be underway, noting that XRP has already broken above the resistance, just as it did in 2017.  In a follow-up X post, Mikybull Crypto doubled down on his bullish sentiment towards XRP, stating that the altcoin’s big move is incoming as it is heading for a mega breakout. His accompanying chart indicated that the key was for XRP to successfully flip the $2.90 level again into support and decisively break above the psychological $3 level.  Related Reading: XRP Price Is About To Close A 3M Candle Above This Major Region, Here’s What It Means For Price Meanwhile, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has made a more bullish forecast for XRP, predicting that it could rally to as high as $33. Like Mikybull Crypto, the analyst also alluded to the 2017 bull cycle as the reason why XRP could witness a parabolic surge to this ambitious price target. However, although he is bullish on XRP in the long term, Egrag Crypto stated that he believes there might be one more flush out before the altcoin rallies to new highs.  The crypto analyst further remarked that there is about a 70% chance for a flush before the XRP uptrend continues, which he noted is healthier from a structural point of view. He added that there is a 30% chance of an immediate pump but warned that it will eventually lead to a sharp correction. Egrag Crypto expects XRP to drop to at least $2.65, with the possibility of a further decline to the fair value gap between $2.35 and $2.40.  Bearish Divergences Hint At Further Drop Before The Breakout Crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that XRP’s bearish divergences hint at lower support levels before a potential breakout to the upside. She noted that the downside tests remain valid, with $2.79 and $2.58 as the key support levels to watch out for as the altcoin remains below $3. The analyst added that a test of $2.58 could still support a much larger bullish move to new highs.  Related Reading: XRP Price Final Low: Here’s The Target To Watch For Next Recovery However, CasiTrades warned that a break below $2.58 would invalidate the bullish market structure and threaten the macro outlook. Meanwhile, she told market participants that when XRP is truly ready to begin wave 3, the macro resistance levels at $2.79, $3, and $3.25 should break cleanly and without hesitation. If XRP continues to hesitate, she believes that further downside testing may be necessary first. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.8, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

The Dogecoin price may be preparing for what an analyst calls a “face-melting rally,” as fresh bullish technical patterns indicate a potential breakout. A crypto analyst notes that DOGE is entering a critical stage, similar to historical setups that have preceded significant upward moves. If the pattern plays out as expected, it would bolster the market expert’s confidence in the meme coin’s outlook.  Rare Setup To Ignite Dogecoin Price Rally  Market analyst Mikybull Crypto has drawn attention to a key chart formation that traders rarely encounter, the Bump & Run Reversal Bottom (BARR). According to his technical analysis shared on X social media, Dogecoin has recently completed its “Lead-in” and “Bump” phases, and now sits at the critical “Throwback to Trendline” stage, which typically precedes a steep uphill bull run.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could Break Into Double-Digit Rally From This Fibonacci Level The analyst noted that Thomas Bulkowski famously documented this textbook chart formation in his Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns (2005), with the pattern carrying a historical success rate between 64% and 68%. On the weekly chart, DOGE appears to have retested its former downtrend line, now flipped into support, after months of consolidation. If the structure plays out as outlined, Mikybull Crypto predicts that the next leg higher could see Dogecoin experiencing a “face-melting rally,” with its price potentially extending toward the $0.70 – $0.85 range.  While the crypto expert’s forecast is ambitious, considering Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.23, it is still consistent with the way this rare pattern has historically unfolded after the “bump” phase, when momentum typically shifts toward buyers. According to Mikybull Crypto, traders should take note, as rallies emerging from this structure often accelerate quickly, leaving late entrants at a disadvantage.  Golden Cross And Breakout Potential Point Toward Altseason In other news, crypto market expert Cas Abbe highlights short-term signals on Dogecoin’s daily chart, noting an impending Golden Cross formation. On his chart, the DOGE price action has been moving within an ascending channel and is now approaching the upper resistance band around $0.33. A breakout above this level could act as a major trigger for the broader altcoin market. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Skirts Potential Demand Zone, What Happens If It Hits Right? Cas Abbe emphasizes that when Dogecoin begins to surge, it often marks the start of the altcoin season, during which capital flows away from Bitcoin into alternative cryptocurrencies, sparking widespread rallies across the sector. Due to this, the analyst notes that the $0.33 resistance remains a critical threshold. A decisive push above it could unleash rapid upward movement in DOGE toward the $0.37 area on the chart.   Priced at $0.23 at the time of reporting, Dogecoin is sitting near key Moving Averages (MA), with momentum possibly building. The cryptocurrency has been experiencing its own fair share of price declines following the recent market downturn. CoinMarketCap’s data shows that DOGE has declined by over 4.3% in the last week, and risen by only 5.6% over the past months. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently offloaded billions in meme coins. This has brought back memories of how Buterin handled the Shiba Inu tokens that SHIB’s founder Ryoshi sent to him back in 2021.  Ethereum Founder Offloads Billions Of Meme Coins On-chain analytics platform Onchain Lens revealed in an X post that the Ethereum founder had sold 150 billion PUPPIES for 28.58 ETH ($114,480) and 1 billion ERC20 for $13,889 USDC. These are tokens that Vitalik received for free, as meme coin teams and the community are known for sending coins to the Ethereum founder.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Ethereum Price Will Reach $33,000 As ETH Founder Forecasts ‘Google Moment’ This practice dates to as far back as 2021, when the Shiba Inu founder Ryoshi sent 500 trillion SHIB tokens, which represented half of the meme coin’s total supply. The Ethereum founder famously burned 450 trillion coins by sending them to a dead wallet, while he donated the remaining 50 trillion coins to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic at the time.  Since then, Vitalik has adopted a similar approach for every meme coin he receives. The Ethereum founder usually sells these coins and then donates the proceeds to charity. He had mentioned last year that he would truly prefer if these coins were sent directly to charity. Vitalik further advised community members to consider setting up a DAO and getting community members directly involved in decision-making.  The Ethereum founder added that the best thing for meme coins is if they can be maximally positive-sum for the world, and that it will be great to see moments when that actually happens. However, these transfers to Vitalik are often viewed as a means for these meme coins to increase their visibility.  Vitalik’s move with the SHIB tokens undoubtedly contributed to putting Shiba Inu in the spotlight. He burned those tokens just as the meme coin went on its legendary run in 2021, reaching its current all-time high (ATH) of $0.00008845 in the process.  A Peek Into Vitalik’s Public Wallet Arkham data shows that the Ethereum founder still has more meme coins in his pubic wallet, which he received from community members. His largest meme coin holding is currently Moodeng, which he holds 30 billion coins worth $518,000. Meanwhile, his largest crypto holding in value remains ETH. Vitalik holds 240,000 ETH worth just over $1 billion.  Related Reading: Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Crash, But Technicals Show What’s Next The Ethereum founder regained his on-chain billionaire status following ETH’s break above $4,000 last month. ETH eventually reached a new ATH in the process, which caused Vitalik’s wealth to surge briefly. However, the largest altcoin is currently struggling to hold above the psychological $4,000 level amid the recent crypto market downtrend.  At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $4,200, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Bobby has revealed that the XRP price is about to close a 3-minute candle above a major region. He indicated that this was very bullish for the altcoin, providing insights into how high it could rally.  XRP Price Set To Close Fourth 3M Candle Above In an X post, Bobby revealed that the XRP price is about to close its fourth 3-minute candle above the highest 3-minute candlestick close of its prior bull cycle. He added that the altcoin is also on track to close a 3-minute candle body above the previous 3-minute candle wick high amid a highly fearful market and even without reaching a 1.618 extension.  Related Reading: XRP Price Is ‘Firing On All Cylinders’ As Super Rare Bullish Setup Emerges  Based on this, he urged market participants to “think bigger,” possibly alluding to the projections for the XRP price in this market cycle. His accompanying chart showed that XRP could rally to as high as $13, representing a gain of over 400% from its current price level. Meanwhile, Bobby highlighted the candle closes above the April 2021 high as another reason he is bullish on XRP.  His analysis comes amid a market downtrend, which has seen the XRP price drop below crucial support levels. Bobby suggested that the current downtrend was nothing to worry about. He stated that a golden pocket retest for XRP, from its latest low to its swing high, would be between $2.50 and $2.55. However, he declared that a drop to this range wouldn’t change a “single thing” about where the altcoin is heading.  Instead, the crypto analyst believes that this would help weed out paper hands, who don’t deserve to benefit from what is to come for the diamond hand holders. He added that strategy and patience are needed amid the wait for the XRP price to reach new highs.  XRP Could Reach As High As $33 Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has predicted that the XRP price could reach as high as $33 in this market cycle. He explained that, within the 2-week timeframe of the last leg in previous cycles, XRP always touched the 21 EMA before it blasted off. In 2017, the altcoin touched the EMA and then surged 1,250% while it rallied 560% in 2021.  Related Reading: XRP Analyst Says ‘We Will All Be Surprised’ By October With This Breakout Egrag Crypto noted that if history repeats, the XRP price could rise to as high as $33 or $17, based on the gains from the previous cycle. Meanwhile, XRP could also record an average rally of 905%, which would put its price at $27. The analyst added that he doesn’t see how XRP won’t reach these targets.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.85, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Market expert Tony Severino has raised some concerns with the current Bitcoin price action on the weekly chart. This comes as the flagship crypto trades below $110,000, with predictions that it could further drop below the psychological $100,000 level.  Bitcoin Price Forms Bearish Pattern On Weekly Chart Severino revealed in an X post that the Bitcoin price is potentially forming an Evening Star pattern on the weekly chart, something he is wary of. He noted that this pattern is forming right at the Bollinger Band basis line, at around $111,600, during the tightest BB squeeze in BTC’s history.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run Is Over? These Signals Show Where The Market Is At The market expert had earlier revealed that the Bitcoin price’s weekly Bollinger Bands are officially the tightest in the entire history of BTCUSD price action. Essentially, BTC is currently trading within a tight range, indicating low volatility. Severino’s accompanying chart shows that the upper BB is at around $122,000, the basis BB is at $111,600, while the lower BB is at $101,000.  Meanwhile, the Evening Star pattern suggests that the bears are taking control from the bulls, putting the Bitcoin price at risk of a further downtrend. With the Bollinger bands being this tight, Severino may be cautious of how this could lead to a BTC decline to the lower BB basis. Crypto analyst Bob Loukas confirmed that the bears are in control and indicated that BTC could still drop below $100,000.  He noted that the Bitcoin price is looking to print its Weekly Cycle Low, although he opined that BTC is holding up well despite the current downtrend. The analyst declared that a rally to $118,000 will confirm the start of a new cycle.  Until then, the bears will remain in control. His accompanying chart showed that the flagship crypto could risk dropping below $100,000 during this period when the bears are in control. However, in the long run, Loukas still expects the Bitcoin price to rally to as high as $140,000.  BTC Needs To Reclaim $116,300 Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also warned that the Bitcoin price needs to reclaim $116,300 or risk dropping as low as $94,334 based on the Pricing Bands. He had earlier stated that $107,200 is the crucial support for Bitcoin. The analyst claimed that a drop below that support level would put $100,000 or even $93,000 in play.  Related Reading: These Analysts Predicted The Bitcoin Price Crash And Their Forecasts Say It’s Not Over Meanwhile, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto noted that the Bitcoin price has broken below the trendline at $110,000. He remarked that confirmation is still needed and that the lagging span must follow to validate this bearish move. However, the analyst is one of those who doesn’t believe that BTC has topped, noting that the market is in a period of fear and that this has never marked the cycle top. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $109,600, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Demand for XRP on the CME derivatives exchange continues to rise, providing a bullish outlook for the altcoin. This comes ahead of the potential approval of the XRP ETFs, which could further spark institutional demand for XRP.  CME XRP Futures Hit New Milestone In an X post, the CME group announced that it has hit its four-month milestone for XRP futures, with a notional trading volume of $18.3 billion, 6 billion XRP traded, and 397,000 contracts traded. This again highlights the demand for the altcoin, with the derivatives exchange previously stating that the altcoin’s futures products have shown demand from both institutional and retail participants.  Related Reading: Institutional Investors Are Heavily Accumulating XRP And Solana – Here Are The Numbers Notably, the CME XRP futures crossed $1 billion in open interest (OI) last month, with the altcoin becoming the fastest-ever contract to do so, having hit the mark in just three months.  Amid the demand for the altcoin on the derivatives exchange, CME has announced plans to launch options trading on the XRP futures on October 13.  This is expected to further boost the demand on the CME exchange, which is a positive for the altcoin. This new milestone for XRP futures comes just ahead of the potential launch of XRP ETFs under the 33 Act, which will also elevate institutional interest in the altcoin. Fund issuers are expected to file amendments for their respective funds as soon as the end of this week.  This comes amid the SEC’s approval of the generic listing standards, which could enable these XRP ETFs to launch earlier. If that doesn’t happen, the focus will shift to Grayscale’s October 18 deadline, which is the first final deadline among all seven XRP filings. The commission could approve these funds simultaneously, just as it did with the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.  Massive Demand Expected For The ETFs It is worth mentioning that market expert Nate Geraci had previously alluded to the success of the CME XRP futures as one of the reasons he believes people are underestimating the demand the spot XRP ETFs may record. He also noted at the time that there was already over $800 million in futures-based XRP ETFs.  Related Reading: XRP Goes Head-To-Head With Bitcoin In This Metric As South Korean Market Wakes Up In another X post, Geraci doubled down on his statement that people are “severely” underestimating the investor demand for the spot XRP ETFs. He noted how a similar thing happened with the spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which have so far exceeded expectations.  Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg also has high expectations for the XRP ETFs, predicting that they could record up to $5 billion in inflows in their first month. He also believes that they could outperform the Ethereum ETFs in the process.  At the time of writing, the altcoin price is trading at around $2.75, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analysts Kaleo and Mags have predicted that the Dogecoin price will witness a parabolic run, with the potential to reach the $1 mark. This comes amid the top meme coin’s downtrend, which puts it at risk of retesting the $0.2 mark.  Dogecoin Price Eyes Parabolic Rally To $1 In an X post, Kaleo declared that the Dogecoin price will rip to new highs from its current level. He further remarked that it is only a matter of time before prices catch up with institutional interest coming from DOGE treasury companies and ETFs. In line with this, he advised market participants not to “sleep on the king of memes.” Related Reading: GROK AI Predicts How High Dogecoin Price Will Be If Bitcoin Hits $10 Trillion Market Cap Meanwhile, crypto analyst Mags indicated that the Dogecoin price could rally to as high as $1 on this projected parabolic rally. He suggested that there is no way that the “father of all meme coins,” which is supported and shilled by Elon Musk, wouldn’t be able to pull a 3x increase in this market cycle.  Mags asserted that the bull run is dedicated to meme coins and that the Dogecoin price will lead the meme coin supercycle round 2. It is worth mentioning that Elon Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, is the Chairman of CleanCore, the foremost DOGE treasury company, which is looking to acquire up to 1 billion coins. The company already holds over 600 million DOGE.  As Kaleo noted, institutional interest has also picked up following the launch of REX-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF, which became the first meme coin ETF to launch. The Dogecoin price had notably surged above $0.3 ahead of the ETF’s launch. However, it has been on a downtrend since the fund launched, indicating that this was a ‘sell the news’ event. DOGE is down over 12% since then, a development which also comes amid a broad crypto market downtrend.  DOGE Will Reach Its ATH At The Minimum Crypto analyst Javon Marks has predicted that the Dogecoin price will reach its all-time high (ATH) of $0.73 at the minimum. He claimed that, based on historical trends, up next for DOGE is a rally of over 195%, which will send the meme coin to a new ATH above $0.739. His accompanying chart suggested that DOGE can reach the psychological $1 level in the process.  Meanwhile, crypto analyst Kevin Capital highlighted how the Dogecoin price rallied 400% to $0.48 within a short period last year. He noted that crypto does nothing until it does something, and that it requires an incredible amount of patience and skill. However, the analyst emphasized that anyone can pull off the biggest trade if they can identify and have the conviction to buy at the lows, suggesting that it may be a good time to buy the dip.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could Break Into Double-Digit Rally From This Fibonacci Level At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.235, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Stockmoney has assured that Bitcoin’s rally isn’t over despite the recent price crash to $112,000. The analyst explained how the cycle works, indicating that the crash is simply part of a broader move to the upside.  Bitcoin Rally Not Yet Done Despite Crash To $112,000 In an X post, Stockmoney stated that Bitcoin is not yet done, even amid the mass liquidation events. He indicated that the mass liquidation events were all part of the plan and not something that should catch market participants unaware. The analyst went on to explain how the BTC cycle playbook works.  Related Reading: Total Illiquid Bitcoin Has Reached 72% Of Supply, What Does This Mean For Price? First, he stated that the Bitcoin price pumps while whales take profits. Then, the price further pumps on low volume, with retail investors wanting to secure their gains. This leads to too many positions with paper gains and open futures positions, which Stockmoney explained equals a lack of liquidity. He noted that this happens after low-volume uptrends.  The analyst’s statement comes amid the Bitcoin price crash to around $112,000 this week from a high of around $117,000 last week. BTC had reached $117,000 last week following the Fed rate cut decision, with the U.S. central bank lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). However, with the price crash, this has turned out to be a ‘sell the news’ event. Notably, the crypto market liquidations on September 22 marked the biggest liquidation event for long positions this year.  Stockmoney stated that liquidity must be freed before the Bitcoin price can go higher. He noted that the good side effect is that this is a profitable business model for market makers and that limits get filled as whales buy the dips. The analyst added that this cycle is a pattern that will keep recurring.  Analyst Says “Buy The Dip” In an X post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez urged market participants to buy the dip. This followed an earlier analysis in which he noted that Bitcoin had retraced to $112,000 as anticipated. He added that he was now watching for buying pressure to form the right shoulder before a breakout to $130,000, which will mark a new all-time high (ATH) for BTC.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Eyes Demand Zones In Higher Timeframes – Here’s The Target Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto noted that Bitcoin is currently retesting the Kijun around $112,600. He added that this level will be crucial to monitor as it could determine the next move for the flagship crypto. Meanwhile, he also suggested that this could be the final shakeoff before a liftoff to a new ATH for the BTC price.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $112,600, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto expert Jake Claver has explained what needs to happen for the XRP price to rally to as high as $2,500. He noted that the projected rally isn’t as easy as some make it out to be, but suggested that it is very much possible despite market cap concerns.  How The XRP Price Can Rally Above $2,500 In an interview, Claver stated that there are macroeconomic global events that need to play out to cause a supply shock that would push the XRP price to $2,500. He declared that the projected rally will boil down to supply and demand economics rather than the market cap, which may be alluded to.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Definitely Reach $10,000, Gives Reasons Why Based on the current circulating supply of 59.77 billion XRP, a price rally to $2,500 would give the altcoin a market cap of $149.4 trillion. This is 50 times larger than the current crypto market cap and almost double the U.S. GDP. However, Claver believes that the focus is on whatever the supply is on the market for purchase, which will determine how high the XRP price could rise.  The market expert further noted that this is what drives liquidity and market dynamics, ultimately affecting the XRP price. Claver also remarked that XRP is deflationary and that 5,000 coins are burned daily, which he indicated will make the altcoin more valuable over time. XRPScan data shows that 14.2 million XRP have been burned since the token launched.  Notably, this prediction marks just one of many ultra-bullish predictions for the XRP price even as the altcoin currently trades in the single digits. Crypto analyst Xena recently declared that XRP will definitely reach $10,000. She claimed that naysayers will be shocked just the same way people who were surprised at Bitcoin’s exponential growth over the years.   The Rally To $2,500 Can Happen This Year In another part of the interview, Claver claimed that the XRP price rally to $2,500 could happen by the end of the year. The expert alluded to the reverse carry trade as one of the catalysts that would have to transpire for the projected rally to happen. However, he didn’t explain how this reverse carry trade will work with respect to what currencies will be borrowed or invested in.  Related Reading: 8-Year Accumulation Phase Could Catapult XRP Price To $6 However, he asserted that the catalysts are at the “doorstep” and that they are inevitable. He further predicted that the XRP price will stay that high as it continues to rally, as there will be enough liquidity for counterparties to settle transactions using XRP. The expert suggested that most SWIFT and stock market transactions could eventually be settled on the XRP Ledger using XRP.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.85, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
