THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has suggested that the Bitcoin crash might not be over despite the relief rally to $61,000. The analyst highlighted the $60,365 price level as being important to avoid a potential crash to as low as $57,000. Bitcoin Needs To Hold Above This Price Level To Avoid Crash Martinez stated in an X post that $60,365 is a key price level to watch for Bitcoin. He claimed a break below this could cause the flagship crypto to fall to $57,420. However, if it holds above this level, the analyst remarked that a rebound to $63,300 is on the table. Therefore, Bitcoin’s trajectory depends on the crucial support at $60,000.  Related Reading: Crypto Capo Returns After 2 Months To Predict Ethereum Decline To $1,800, Is It Time To Go Long? In another analysis, Martinez suggested that Bitcoin was likely to suffer more downward pressure in the short term rather than a rebound. He revealed that since May, every correction of the market value to realized value (MVRV) ratio from its 90-day average has led to a significant Bitcoin correction.  In line with this, the analyst noted that the latest rejection has already triggered a 10% drop, suggesting that Bitcoin could suffer more price decline. Analyst Justin Bennett also believes that Bitcoin will likely drop lower and predicts that it could fall to as low as $57,000. He added that a relief to take out the $63,200 short positions would be nice.  Meanwhile, he alluded to the US Job report, which is set to be released on October 4. The analyst expects significant volatility amid this inflation data. A weak job report could lead to a Bitcoin crash, similar to what happened in August, with the flagship crypto dropping to $54,000. The inflation data is also significant as it would provide insights into whether the market can expect further rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year.  Veteran trader Peter Brandt also looks to be bearish on Bitcoin at the moment. He highlighted a ‘Three Blind Mice’ pattern that was forming on the BTC chart, indicating that the crypto is set to witness a bearish reversal following its uptrend in October.  Why A Price Crash Could Be Good The on-chain analytics platform Santiment suggested that a Bitcoin price crash might be much needed for the flagship crypto to go higher. The platform noted that the crowd has considerably cooled off its excitement toward crypto since BTC retraced over 9% from its local high of $66,400 recorded on September 27.  Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Solana-Based BONK Is In Prime Position For Legendary Rally Santiment claimed that this is encouraging, considering that markets typically move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectation. As such, the Bitcoin price could enjoy a surprise rally, seeing as market participants are more bearish on its trajectory.  Ali Martinez noted that Bitcoin was currently in the complacency stage and just needed to cool off before it began its next rally.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Aptos (APT) soared over 10% in the last 24 hours following Aptos Labs’ acquisition of HashPallete. The token is leading the market after becoming the largest gainer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Related Reading: Bonk ‘In Prime Position For Turbo Green Week’ As Price Recovers Key Level Aptos To Expand Its Presence In Asia On Thursday, Aptos Labs, the developer of the Aptos network, announced it had agreed to acquire the Japanese Blockchain developer HashPallete, the company behind Japan’s Palette Chain and a subsidiary of HashPort Inc. The agreement aims to become a “game changer for Japan and the Aptos ecosystem” as the integration with the Japanese blockchain is set to strengthen its presence in the Asian market: Japan has long been a hub of technological innovation, and it’s no different when it comes to blockchain. The country’s unique blend of advanced tech and widespread blockchain adoption makes it a model for Web3 initiatives globally. Today, we’re making one of our boldest strategic moves into this market with our agreement to acquire HashPalette Inc. As part of the acquisition, HashPort Inc. will migrate the Pallete Chain and its subsidiary’s applications to the Aptos Network. The Japanese chain will also have access to the Aptos ecosystem’s security, scalability, and developer tools. The migration is expected to be completed by early 2025, in time for the EXPO2025 DIGITAL WALLET. Moreover, Aptos Labs partnered with HashPort to support local developers, NFT creators, and enterprises by “continuing to build blockchain solutions (…) using Aptos Network’s infrastructure.” APT Leads The Crypto Market Following the announcement, APT’s price saw a daily 11% surge, jumping to the $8.66 resistance level before retracing to the $8.51 mark. This performance crowned the token as the leading crypto amid the market retrace. APT is among the few cryptocurrencies recording green numbers in most timeframes among the top 100 tokens by market cap. The altcoin registers a 7.5% and a 41% increase in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Additionally, its daily market volume soared 41.7%, reaching a $769.6 million trading volume in the last 24 hours. The token’s performance was highlighted by several crypto analysts, who considered that APT has the “most interesting chart” at the moment. According to Yuriy from BikoTrading, the cryptocurrency looks strong as the rising trading volume and the price performance “signs for continued growth.” The trader noted that APT’s price held above the key resistance zone amid the market retrace, which sent the token above Q3’s range highs. Similarly, crypto trader Osbrah stated that APT has been “secretly climbing its way to the most interesting alts charts.” He pointed out that, after October 1’s market sweep, the token had a “clean bullish retest” above the $8 mark. To the trader, the next big resistance is at the $9 mark, which could send APT’s price to the $7.95 support zone if it fails to reclaim it. Meanwhile, another market watcher suggested that the altcoin’s performance could be close to a breakout. Related Reading: Analysts Unfazed By Bitcoin (BTC) Drop, But Should We Fear October 5? Per the post, SUI and APT moved in a “catch-up trade” path for the past year, moving closely together until SUI decoupled in early 2024. This led to a 44-day lagging period for APT before it followed SUI’s movements. After that, APT rose 98% to its yearly high of $18.8 in mid-March. Now, APT has seen a 32-day lagging period after SUI decoupled again in September, showing “incredible amounts of strength.” Based on this, the analyst suggests that the cryptocurrency could follow SUI’s trajectory and kickstart a massive rally in the next two weeks if history repeats.

Popular crypto analyst Il Capo of Crypto has returned to social media platform X after over two months of hiatus to drop an interesting outlook for Bitcoin and Ethereum in the coming months in light of the recent correction since the beginning of October. The analyst, which has been so big on a looming altseason since the beginning of the year, has revealed a bearish outlook for Bitcoin and even Ethereum (king of altcoins) in the short term. Known for his sometimes controversial and often contrarian predictions, Capo returned just as the market experienced a notable correction in October, sharing his bearish outlook for both Bitcoin and Ethereum. His latest prediction is that Ethereum could plummet as low as $1,800 before seeing any substantial recovery. ETH’s Predicted Decline Ethereum has already dropped by 10% in the past seven days and is currently trading around around $2,330, but according to Capo, this decline could worsen. He predicted that ETH might fall further into the $1,800 to $2,000 range, which is a possible 23% dip from its current price, before eventually rebounding. However, he believes an altcoin season will still materialize.  Related Reading: Still Holding Your Hamster Kombat Tokens? You Might Be In For A Nice Surprise Soon Quick update: There’s a possibility of one last shakeout, with $BTC testing the $48k-50k zone and $ETH $1.8k-2k, before the real altseason begins. If that happens, I’ll be adding more to my altcoin bags. https://t.co/sx6u8wPNrK — il Capo Of Crypto (@CryptoCapo_) October 2, 2024 Capo’s track record of analysis since the beginning of the year shows a consistent belief in the upcoming dominance of altcoins. Throughout 2024, he has repeatedly emphasized the potential for altcoins, particularly Ethereum, to outperform Bitcoin as profits generated from BTC flow into smaller assets. However, the altcoin season has yet to materialize, and Bitcoin has continued to dominate the crypto investment scene. Time To Go Long On Ethereum? It’s worth noting that Crypto Capo’s predictions often have a certain lore attached to them. There is a running joke among some investors that whenever Capo makes a prediction, the market tends to do the opposite. This goes as far back as his prediction of Bitcoin falling to $12,000 last year, but the crypto eventually broke past resistance levels. Now, with Capo predicting the possibility of continued decline for Ethereum and Bitcoin amid October’s bullish market sentiment (often dubbed “Uptober”), it raises the question from many investors if his bearish call is far-fetched. Related Reading: Dogecoin At $10 Thesis: What Each Breakout Cycle Says About The DOGE Price Only time will tell if the market plays out according to Capo’s analysis. However, given the current inflow of investments and the crypto market, which has mostly rallied in October, it wouldn’t be surprising if Ethereum rebounds rather than experiences the significant drop Capo is forecasting. Naturally, many savvy whales and traders have seen the current decline as an opportunity to “go long” and accumulate more Ethereum in expectation of the resumption of inflows. This sentiment is reflected through the US Spot Ethereum ETFs, which witnessed $14.45 million in inflows yesterday despite the price correction. Interestingly, it is important to note that Capo’s analysis is only talking about a possible case and remains bullish for Ethereum in the long term.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Lately, top meme based cryptocurrencies like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe (PEPE) have been witnessing a spike in their prices. This bullish trend appears to have extended to Solana based meme coin Bonk (BONK), as its price movements has been showing signs of an impending bullish surge. With respect to this, a crypto analyst has suggested that Bonk is currently well-positioned for a significant upward movement.  Analyst Predicts Legendary Target At $0.000033 Bluntz, a prominent crypto trader and analyst has revealed the next bullish target for Bonk. In an X (formerly Twitter) post on September 30, Bluntz revealed that Bonk is currently in a prime position for a”turbo green week.” Related Reading: Dogecoin At $10 Thesis: What Each Breakout Cycle Says About The DOGE Price He disclosed that the meme coin had experienced a quick and minor price dip during the week. However, the analyst sees this price decline as a positive sign, suggesting that it creates an opportunity for Bonk to enter a significantly bullish position, potentially triggering a legendary rally.  Sharing a chart depicting Bonk’s price movements from the past month, Bluntz indicated in his price chart that the meme coin could experience an accelerated price increase to new highs. Presenting an illustration of his predictions of Bonk’s future price movements, the analyst disclosed that the meme coin would rise between the range of $0.000028 and $0.000027 before falling to the support level between $0.000026 and $0.000025.  After this, Bonk is expected to skyrocket to $0.00003, before dropping back to $0.000028. For his final price surge in his projected turbo green week, Bluntz revealed that Bonk will reach a new price high of $0.000033. The analyst also revealed that for Bonk to experience a bullish price breakout, the meme coin will have to undergo three days of essential sideways trading.  Presently the price of Bonk is trading at $0.00002, reflecting a slight increase of 3.86% in the past week. A jump to projected highs at $0.000033 would require the meme coin to rise by approximately 65% from its current price.  BONK Set To Outperform PEPE While maintaining an optimistic outlook on Bonk’s price, Bluntz disclosed that the meme coin may be taking out the meme coin leadership from Pepe. This suggests that as Bonk is gaining more momentum, Pepe’s performance is slowing down after experiencing a significant price increase.  Related Reading: Still Holding Your Hamster Kombat Tokens? You Might Be In For A Nice Surprise Soon The analyst has identified a “higher low” on the BONK/PEPE chart, which indicates that Bonk is positioning itself for a stronger price rally than Pepe. Typically, a higher low occurs when the price of a cryptocurrency pulls back but maintains its value above its previous low level, signaling a potential continuation of an uptrend. In the case of Bonk, Bluntz has revealed that it is currently among top meme coins like Dogwifhat (WIF), and Pepe which are presently showing signs of a strong bullish development. Despite this analysis, the cryptocurrency has declined by over 10% in the past 24 hours.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

The Dogecoin price reaching as high as $10 has long been anticipated by the DOGE community who have remained loyal to the meme coin despite various crashes that have rocked the price. Even with Dogecoin sitting more than 85% below its May 2021 all-time high of $0.73, expectations for the meme coin’s performance are still very high. Given its historical performance, the DOGE price usually gets a window of opportunity for a surge, and it seems like another window is finally opening up. The Bullish Thesis For Dogecoin Crypto trader and analyst Dima James Potts took to the X platform to share a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price. The analyst’s forecast takes into account a number of factors, ranging from historical performance to adoption. Nevertheless, the end result remains the same and that is the fact that the DOGE price could be set to surge. Related Reading: Still Holding Your Hamster Kombat Tokens? You Might Be In For A Nice Surprise Soon Potts compared the current movement of the Dogecoin price to that of 2017 and 2020 to reveal a bullish trend. As the analyst explains, each time, before the Dogecoin price rallied, it broke above the white line and then closed the week above it, as shown in the image below: Each time this happened, the DOGE price went on a parabolic run, and now, once again, the Dogecoin price has broken above the white line. This is bullish for the price, according to the analyst, serving as confirmation. However, the second part of this trend is yet to be completed and that is closing the week above the white line. Since the breakout occurred on Sunday, the DOGE price still has the rest of the week to complete this move. The breakout is, however, not the only reason that Potts is bullish on the Dogecoin price. He also points to the increased adoption and low price as reasons why the price could rise to new highs. Also, with more technological updates that provide for faster transactions and higher levels of security, the analyst believes that this “could further bolster Dogecoin’s utility and appeal.” A Possible 11,000% Surge? Taking into account the previous Dogecoin rallies and how they have played out, the analyst pointed out that each rally is more significant than the last. For example, there was a 9,300% surge in 2017 and a 29,000% surge in 2020/2021. Going by this, the analyst believes that the DOGE price could also see a significant rally this time around. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Is In The ‘Final Test’, Here’s Where The BTC Price Is Headed Next The bottom of the rally is place at around 11,167%, which would put the price above $10. Meanwhile, the top of the Dogecoin rally in the best case scenario is placed at 40,137%, putting the DOGE price as high as $40. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Hamster Kombat burst into the trading scene in September after a long-running airdrop farming event. Despite all of the hype leading up to the launch of the token, the airdrop did come out to be disappointing for investors, even though it listed at around a $500 million. Since then, the price has struggled against the bearish headwinds, losing around 43% of its value. However, this decline may be coming to an end according to one analyst, who sees a bullish future for the HMSTR token. Hamster Kombat Develops Bullish Indicators Given the current state of the Hamster Kombat token and the consistent decline, it seemed at first that this was a failed launch. However, crypto analyst Saeed Sheikh sees an opportunity where many sees losses. In an analysis posted on the TradingView website, Sheikh explained that the current indicators could actually be bullish for the Hamster Kombat price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Market Not Over: CryptoQuant CEO Reveals Where We Are This Cycle As the crypto analyst explains in the post, the decline in the Hamster Kombat price has pushed the altcoin into oversold territory. This explains the sharp decline in price over the last month. But it is also bullish for the price, especially a popular altcoin like Hamster Kombat. When an asset is in oversold territory, it often means that it is due for a recovery. This is because the sellers will have exhausted their stash and this leaves only the holders in charge. As a result, support is often established for the price, providing a bounce point for the next recovery. If this is the case and the Hamster Kombat sellers are nearing exhaustion as it enters oversold territory, then Hamster Kombat could be forming support somewhere around $0.005. In this case, this would be the bounce-off point for the next rally and recover its losses from September. Where Is The Price Headed? Going by the crypto analyst’s chart, the Hamster Kombat price could more than double from here if it plays out correctly. There are multiple major targets to hit and overcome as they carry the most resistance for the altcoin from here. Related Reading: Major Catalyst That Could Drive Bitcoin To New ATH In Q4 Emerges The first target to hit is $0.009116 at the 0.382 Fibonacci level. Here is the first resistance, but arguably the most easiest to conquer from here. Next is the $0.011 target at the 0.236 Fibonacci level. Last but not least is the $0.014149 target, which is the strongest resistance. Naturally, as the price increases, so does the resistance from bears. Given the current position of the Hamster Kombat price at the time of this writing, hitting the very last target at $0.014149 would mean a more than 100% increase. However, this move is also largely dependent on how the Bitcoin price sways the crypto market, according to the crypto analyst. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Bonk continues its bullish rally as ‘Uptober’ begins, sparking a bullish sentiment among investors after the recent fear of a major pullback. The memecoin sensation kickstarted its Q4 journey positively, reclaiming crucial levels, with investors and crypto analysts forecasting a green weekly close. Related Reading: SUI Sees 15% Weekly Surge Ahead Of Token Unlock, Can It Hit New ATH In October? BONK Closes Q3 With 13% Surge Bonk has seen a remarkable performance throughout the past two weeks, jumping 60% since September 15. The memecoin broke above the multi-month downtrend line after successfully reclaiming the $0.000022 resistance level last Friday, registering a 38% surge in the past week. Additionally, the dog-themed sensation closed the month 48% above its opening price, revisiting levels before August’s Black Monday. The token also saw a 13% increase from its Q3 opening, trading around $0.000025 as October started. This bullish price action propelled BONK’s price above $0.000026 momentarily before retracing back the $0.000024 support level, which some considered an extremely bullish signal for the token’s future price action. According to crypto trader Astekz, BONK’s monthly reclaim meant that “any consolidation” above the breakout level is “giga bullish.” Moreover, the token had a 13% increase in daily market activity in the past day, registering a daily trading volume of $795.3 million. Is A ‘Turbo Green Week’ In The Making? Crypto analyst Bluntz noted that, alongside all the strong memecoins, BONK had a “swift” recovery from the weekly dip following a “perfect abc pullback.” This performance put the memecoin “in prime position for a turbo green week,” which he further predicted after its Monday performance. To Bluntz, BONK is close to a breakout after spending three days of sideway moves. Additionally, the token reclaimed the 200-day Moving Average (DMA), which had been sitting above it for the past day. The trader considered that the token’s next parabolic run could be “sustained” and target the $0.000035 resistance level soon. Other market watchers echoed this sentiment, highlighting BONK’s strength throughout the recent dips. Another analyst noted that the memecoin has moved within a large symmetrical triangle since its March all-time high (ATH). The trader detailed that the token’s price is moving closer to the pattern’s resistance since forming a triple bottom at $0.000016. A breakout from the multi-month pattern could send the token’s price to a potential 70% rally toward the previous ATH of $0.000045. Additionally, some investors believe that the cryptocurrency could be positively affected by the market’s general performance this “Uptober.” Related Reading: WIF Bulls In Control As RSI Signals Strong Upside Potential Last October, the cryptocurrency started a massive rally that shredded two zeros from the token’s price, closing Q3 2023 at $0.00014, a 6,900% surge. However, the BONK registered a price decline in the last few hours following Bitcoin’s dip to $62,000. As of this writing, the memecoin is trading at $0.00023, a 2.9% drop in the daily timeframe.

The XRP price has struggled for the last three years, staying down even when Bitcoin and other altcoins rallied to possible new all-time highs. However, even through this, the XRP community has remained steadfast in their belief that the altcoin’s price will reach new peaks. Forecasts have ranged from reaching $1 to as high as $1,000. The latter has been hotly debated among crypto investors. However, one crypto researcher believes that the XRP price will be able to touch $1,000 eventually, giving reasons for why this could happen. Dominating Global Banking Systems The selling point of the XRP token has always been the fact that it is to be integrated into the world banking systems, allowing for cheaper, faster, and smoother transactions. The expectations for the token’s use in banking were the initial reason behind its meteoric rise, and this has continued to foster belief in its future. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Price Could Jump 200% To $0.00006 In October, Here’s Why Crypto researcher CryptoTank took to X (formerly Twitter), to reiterate the value proposal of this for the XRP Price, alluding to this utility. The researcher points out that SWIFT is already integrating the RippleNet into its systems, and given SWIFT’s volume, it could mean a lot of inflow for the token. They point out that SWIFT currently does around $5-$7 trillion in daily volume, even with high fees of $20-$50 per transaction. However, compared to this, using RippleNet would bring fees down to pennies, allowing the payment platform to save hundreds of billions of dollars yearly. Furthermore, the researcher explains that even if Ripple were to only get 10% of SWITF’s trading volume, it would mean a substantial $500 billion at least passing through RippleNet daily. At this rate, the low XRP price would not be adequate to handle the volume from SWIFT alone. Thus, the researcher believes that the XRP price would rise to be able to compensate for this new volume. “XRP has to be very high to move just 10% of Swifts daily volume,” the researcher said. “When you start adding the other banks in it gets crazy how high XRP will go.” XRP Price To $1,000 Debate The recent debate surrounding the XRP price reaching $1,000 began with the Uphold crypto exchange asking the community what they would do if the XRP price were to hit $1,000. This sparked speculations on whether or not the altcoin can actually reach this price, triggering input from various angles.

SUI has seen a 15% surge in the past week following its remarkable price action throughout Q3. The cryptocurrency’s performance continues to fuel investors’ sentiment, but some believe the upcoming unlock event could hinder its rally toward a new all-time high (ATH) next quarter. Related Reading: SUI Ready To Test $2 Resistance – Bullish Pattern Suggests New ATH Soon From ‘SUIptember’ To ‘Uptober’ In the past three months, SUI’s price surged 114%, moving from the $0.8 mark to the $1.75 price range. The cryptocurrency was among the best performers throughout Q3, registering green numbers while most tokens bleed during the market retraces. In August, the token saw up to 50% price surges amid the market downturns, registering a 73% recovery from the monthly lows and 14% from its opening price. This month, the token also saw a massive increase from September’s opening, registering a 119% surge in the last 30 days. Market analyst Crypto Bullet noted that SUI’s monthly candle is “absolutely phenomenal” as it has been retesting levels unseen since April and is sitting 20% below its all-time high (ATH) of $2.17. The analyst previously suggested that the cryptocurrency was poised to test and break its major resistance level of $2 in Q4, which is usually a bullish period for the market, and reach a new ATH around the $5 mark. During its 10% jump over the weekend, SUI tried to reclaim the $1.85 resistance but dropped to the $1.7 support zone as the market saw a 2.5% dip in the past day. Since the drop, the token has been hovering between the $1.70-$1.75 price range, recovering its levels from 24 hours ago. Sui Network Milestones Fuel The Token’s Rally The sentiment surrounding SUI seems fueled by the networks’ recent achievements. According to Artemis Terminal data, Sui Network surpassed all other chains in daily net flows on Monday, reaching $6.8 million in positive net flows in the past day. Comparatively, Ethereum and Solana registered $4.9 million and $3.4 million net flows in the last 24 hours. The network also had the second-largest daily inflows by chain with $10.3 million, only surpassed by Ethereum’s $35.8 million. Moreover, the chain reached the long-awaited $1 billion Total Value Locked (TVL) milestone on Sunday, less than two years after its Mainnet launch. Nonetheless, many investors and crypto analysts consider that the upcoming October unlock event could negatively affect SUI’s performance. The event will unlock 64.19 million tokens worth $112 million, increasing the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply by 2.4%. Despite the unlock, some market watchers consider the cryptocurrency’s performance will continue its bullish rally. Crypto analyst Bluntz recently called the token “a certified beast” due to its recovery from the dips. Related Reading: Solana Price (SOL) Holds Crucial Support Level: Is the Rally Still Alive? Bluntz noted that “every dip on 4h end up abc-looking and keeps trucking higher,” including the latest weekend drop. He suggested that the token is still in the “macro wave 3 still and hasn’t even had a wave 4 yet.” Per his chart, SUI’s wave three will target the $2 resistance level before retracing to the $1.65-$1.70 support zone in wave 4, setting the wave five’s target around $2.6. As of this writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $1.76 and has outperformed the global crypto market in the past week, according to CoinGecko data.

The XRP recent price movements have caused a major stir in the crypto market, with the cryptocurrency experiencing a significant price surge and breaking out of crucial resistance levels. Driven by its recent bullish momentum, XRP has succeeded in breaking a key bullish pattern, as a result, a crypto analyst has predicted that it could potentially jump 4X to new highs of $2.6.  XRP Price Set Sights On Midterm Target At $2.3 After experiencing slow growth and bearish momentum in the past few weeks, XRP has sparked renewed confidence amongst investors with its latest price surge. Over the last seven days, XRP has skyrocketed by 8.93% and is showing signs of more gains in the future.  Related Reading: PEPE Confirms Breakout From Symmetrical Triangle: How Far Can It Go? This bullish outlook is shared by prominent crypto analyst, Captain Faibik, who disclosed in an X (formerly Twitter) post on September 28, that XRP has just broken a unique bullish pattern, indicating a potential for a major price rally.  In Faibik’s XRP price chart, a multi-year bullish symmetrical triangle pattern can be seen. This triangle pattern began forming in October 2021 and has extended through to September 2024, with XRP undergoing significant price fluctuations throughout this period.  After experiencing its first substantial price surge in weeks, XRP successfully broke out of this bullish triangle pattern. The extent of XRP’s recent price increase is evident in CoinMarketCap’s data, which indicates that the cryptocurrency has jumped by 4.73% in the last 24 hours.  This significant price increase suggests that XRP may be aiming to push significantly above its previous consolidation levels of around $0.5. As of writing, XRP is trading at $0.64, underscoring a possible rise in investor interest and demand for the cryptocurrency.  By breaking out of this bullish triangle pattern, Faibik believes that XRP could be on track for a massive rally that could push its price by 4X. The analyst has declared that XRP is currently heating up for a massive breakout to mid-term targets at $2.3.  XRP Breaks Critical Trendline A crypto and Elliott Wave analyst, identified as ‘XForceGlobal’ on X has highlighted a unique trendline in XRP’s price chart. According to the analyst, XRP has just broken the “multilayer BD trendline,’ and may be heading towards a price increase.  Related Reading: Ripple Vs. SEC Battle Far From Over As Regulator Opposes Court’s Decision XForceGlobal has suggested that if XRP can maintain a price above this trendline for a few more weeks, it could witness a price increase between $7 to $10. The analyst has expressed confidence in his bullish forecast, indicating that a surge within this range was inevitable if the right conditions were met.  To be more precise, the analyst predicts via a detailed chart that XRP’s price could potentially rise to $8.67, marking a 1,482% increase from its current price of $0.6.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Doggy-themed meme coin, Shiba Inu (SHIB), could be gearing up for a major rally to new all-time highs this bull cycle. Given the cryptocurrency’s recent bullish performance, analysts predict that Shiba Inu can surge above its all-time high of $0.000086.  Shiba Inu Targets New All-Time Highs The price of Shiba Inu recently jumped from around $0.00001 to $0.00002. This significant price increase occurred in the last few weeks, hinting that the popular meme coin may be getting ready for a parabolic rally in the Fourth Quarter (Q4) of 2024. Related Reading: Ethereum Sees 43% Crash In Active Addresses, What’s Going On? Based on the meme coin’s current bullish performance, a crypto analyst and prominent Shiba Inu supporter identified as ‘SHIB Knight’ has expressed optimism about SHIB’s price outlook. In an X (formerly Twitter) post, the analyst shared a Shiba Inu price chart, suggesting that the popular meme coin was gearing up to surpass the $0.00008 mark.  Further solidifying his bullish forecast, SHIB knight declared that Shiba Inu was finally ready for a new all-time high, marking a historical milestone for the meme coin.  In October 2021, Shiba Inu achieved an all-time high of $0.000086, reflecting a 75.59% increase from its current price. Notably, SHIB has been building more momentum as September wraps up, hinting at a possible strong rally in October. Moreover, with the cryptocurrency currently trading at $0.00002, it would need a 330% surge to reclaim its former peak.  Although SHIB Knight has not forecasted a specific date and price target, he has boldly announced that Shiba Inu could surpass its all-time highs, with the potential to break above $0.000086 this bull cycle.  SHIB Maintains Powerful Momentum The price of Shiba Inu has been on a powerful upward trend in the past few weeks, achieving double-digit gains despite previous market declines. While the popular meme coin experienced its share of price declines earlier this year, Shiba Inu seems to be making a comeback, suggesting a renewed interest and demand from investors.  Data from CoinMarketCap shows that SHIB has jumped by 48.20% over the past month. Additionally, the cryptocurrency saw another 45.84% increase in the last seven days, highlighting its strong price dynamics.  Related Reading: Dogwifhat Rally Far From Over As Analysts Predicts 1,600% Jump Similarly, other meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Pepe (PEPE) have been steadily gaining momentum in the past week. Pepe has recorded a price increase of over 38% in the past week, while Dogecoin has risen by 17%.  This sudden change from bearish trends to bullish underscores a significant shift in investors’ sentiment towards the meme coin market. A crypto analyst identified as ‘AllInCrypto’ on X has also acknowledged the recent positive momentum in meme coins, highlighting that Shiba Inu’s price dynamics are looking great. The analyst also noted that the pullback for meme coins was likely over, as evidenced by Shiba Inu’s impressive price movements, which have recorded more gains of 9.48% just today.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Dogecoin (DOGE) whales are returning, taking the spotlight in the crypto market with a recent 1.4 million DOGE purchase worth over $140 million.

Following the market’s recent pump, the leading cryptocurrencies have seen a remarkable performance. Bitcoin is trading above the $64,000 mark, while Ethereum (ETH) has surged 9% in the last week to consolidate above a key support level. Despite the bullish sentiment, some crypto investors remain cautious about ETH’s performance as the second-largest cryptocurrency faces the next crucial resistance level. Related Reading: Memecoin Sensation Popcat Hits New All-Time High After Surge To $1 Ethereum Consolidates Above $2,600 Ethereum recorded a 13% price jump in the last seven days after the US Federal Reserve (Fed) announced its decision to cut the interest rate by 50 basis points (bps). The bullish momentum propelled the ETH’s price to ranges not seen in a month, triggering a positive sentiment among many investors. Over the weekend, the “King of Altcoins” surged from the $2,300 support zone to the $2,500 mark before reclaiming the $2,600 resistance level as the week started. Since then, the cryptocurrency has hovered between the $2,600-$2,684 price range, momentarily dropping below the key support level on Wednesday afternoon. Nonetheless, Ethereum has faced resistance today after recovering from the recent drop to $2,500. Market analyst Crypto Yapper noted that ETH had been “running into critical resistance on the Daily chart,” as it had been unable to break successfully above the $2,650 mark since Tuesday. This performance worried some investors, who considered that not breaking above this level could hinder the cryptocurrency’s run and send the price toward the previous support zones. However, Ethereum’s price jumped 1% in the last hour to trade above $2,650. As of this writing, ETH exchnges hands at $2,660, recording a 2.1% and 9.3% price increase in the daily and weekly timeframes. ETH To Reach New Highs In October? Crypto Trader Daan highlighted that Ethereum’s price made a higher low (HL) but has not been able to make a higher high (HH) yet. The trader noted that an HH would occur above the $2,820 mark, which was lost over a month ago, and it would signify a trend reversal for the cryptocurrency. This level corresponds with the horizontal level that kickstarted the February-March run to $4,090 after the breakout. Additionally, it coincides with the Daily 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around that area, which makes it “an important level to watch.” A breakout above this mark could further propel ETH’s price toward the $3,000 resistance level. Julien Bittel, Head of Macro Research at Global Macro Investor (GMI), noted that Ethereum’s chart is “looking a lot like a 2023 redux.” Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Reclaims Top 10 Crypto Spot, Analysts Set New Targets Per the Chart, the cryptocurrency’s current market structure resembles its 2023 movements very closely. A repeat of ETH’s previous bullish trajectory suggests that ETH’s price is about to break out and hit a new all-time high (ATH) mid to late October. Additionally, the chart shows that if it follows the same bullish trend, Ethereum’s price has the potential to reach somewhere between the $10,000 to $20,000 targets by Q1 2025, which would represent a 669% surge from its current price and a 300% jump from its ATH.

A crypto analyst has just confirmed an impending Bitcoin (BTC) crash, pointing to the formation of a bearish descending triangle formation on the cryptocurrency’s price chart. With Bitcoin’s price holding strong above the $60,000 mark, the key question now is how low this anticipated downturn is.  Analyst Confirms Incoming Bitcoin Crash TradingView crypto analyst, Alan Santana has published a report warning of potential risks in Bitcoin’s current price behavior, pointing to a possible price crash driven by the formation of a new descending triangle. Santana noted that currently, the price of Bitcoin is trading above $60,000, which is about 20% lower than its March 2024 All-Time High (ATH) of more than $73,000.  The analyst hypothesized that if Bitcoin were trading at a lower price level of $37,000, this would represent a 50% decline from its March ATH. In such a case, this price would be seen as a strong correction from all-time highs.  Santana also revealed that trading at $37,000 would be advantageous for Bitcoin, especially before a major political event like the upcoming United States (US) Presidential elections in November. This means that by trading below $40,000 or $37,000, Bitcoin would be due for a significant recovery to new highs.  However, since BTC is currently trading at $63,635, a price mark close to a critical resistance level, this indicates a strong momentum. As such, if an unexpected event or market shakeout occurs, it could potentially trigger a massive price decline for the cryptocurrency.  Moreover, Bitcoin has formed a descending triangle pattern, which the analyst has flagged as a bearish signal. He revealed that on the cryptocurrency’s monthly chart, this pattern broke to the downside, ultimately confirming an impending price crash.  As a result, Santana has warned that investors should expect a Bitcoin crash, citing the cryptocurrency’s prolonged sideways movement with a bearish bias over the past six months. He further disclosed that BTC has been printing lower highs in the short-term and mid-term for more than six months, highlighting that lower highs were an indication of a bearish trend.  Based on the cryptocurrency’s market behavior, descending triangle pattern and current price, Santana has predicted that Bitcoin could dip below $49,000. He noted that the next Fibonacci retracement level below $49,000 sits around $40,000 to $43,000, meaning the main target for this bearish forecast could be even lower.  BTC Uptrend Hinges On $70,000 Breakout While emphasizing the potential for Bitcoin to crash below $49,000, Santana also disclosed that Bitcoin could witness a major uptrend if its price can successfully break above the $70,000 mark. He revealed that a strong confirmation above this price is necessary to consider BTC bullish this cycle.  Specifically, if the cryptocurrency can achieve a one or two weekly or monthly close above $70,000, it could spark a bullish turnaround for the market. However, while Bitcoin is rising and maintaining a price above $60,000, the market is only seeing over-leveraged traders being liquidated and the growth of altcoins.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Popcat, the latest Solana-based memecoin sensation, has crowned itself as one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the market. The memecoin has stolen the spotlight following its 117% surge throughout Q3, outperforming other well-established tokens in the sector. The feline sensation has now consolidated as the first cat-themed memecoin to hit a $1 billion market capitalization, leading the market’s bullish run alongside tokens like Sei (SEI) and Worldcoin (WLD). Related Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) On Track For ‘Strongest September Performance’, Is $90,000 Next? POPCAT Hits $1 Billion Market Cap Status Memecoins became the leading sector during this cycle, with many tokens outperforming most altcoins over the last few months. At the front of the frenzy, dog-themed tokens like dogwifhat (WIF) stole the spotlight during Q1 and Q2. However, a feline rival is challenging its spot as Solana’s best-performing memecoin. Investors and market watchers have praised the cat-themed sensation’s performance over the past few months. Throughout Q3’s violent market retraces, POPCAT showed a remarkable performance, becoming the largest gainer among the top 100 cryptocurrencies several times. The memecoin’s price quickly bounced from its 55% pullbacks during the market crashes, recovering and surpassing its previous level each time. POPCAT’s price has seen a 117% surge in the past three months, driving its price from the $0.68 mark to a new all-time high (ATH). In the late hours of Tuesday, the cryptocurrency broke above the $0.97 resistance level set by its previous ATH. The memecoin continued its 21% jump towards the $1.08 level, its new ATH, before retracing to the $1.01-$1.02 price range. The surge propelled POPCAT’s market capitalization to the $1 billion mark, cementing its status as the leading cat-themed token and making it the first memecoin in this sector to achieve it. Following its remarkable rise, the token registers a 57.8% and 40.2% surge in the weekly and monthly timeframes. Its daily market activity also saw an 82% jump to a trading daily volume of $133.3 million in the last 24 hours. Investors See Further Price Potential Some crypto whales loaded their bags as POPCAT broke the $1 barrier. On Wednesday morning, on-chain data analytics firm Lookonchain revealed that a crypto investor recently repurchased the cat-themed sensation, suggesting that some investors feel positive about the token’s future performance. Per the post, the whale spent 8,644 SOL, worth around $1.29 million, to buy 1.3 million POPCAT over the past two days. The address bought 456,000 tokens on Monday before acquiring another 843,000 POPCAT when the memecoin hit $1. This whale had previously sold its POPCAT holding at a 45% loss over two months ago. The investor saw $611,000 in losses from selling its 1.69 million tokens. However, before the long-awaited surge to $1, crypto investor Trade4ddict noted that the POPCAT’s consolidation under the key resistance level was a strong sign for its potential bull continuation. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Reclaims Top 10 Crypto Spot, Analysts Set New Targets The trader considers that after “blowing off” the $1 resistance, the memecoin has “good chances” of pumping toward the $2 target. He also suggested that the previous high at $0.8 should offer some support before a potential correction. As of this writing, the memecoin continues to hold the $1 support level, exchanging hands for $1.01. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is on the verge of a historic run, as investors have accumulated a significant amount of Shiba Inu tokens in recent days. However, the meme coin’s fundamentals remain concerning as they paint a bearish picture for SHIB.  Shiba Inu Set For A Historic Run In October Shiba Inu is set to enjoy a parabolic rally in October if history were to repeat itself. Data from CryptoRank shows that the meme coin has always enjoyed monthly positive returns in October. During the 2021 bull run, SHIB’s price skyrocketed by 833% in October of that year, while it enjoyed modest gains of 10% and 6% in October 2022 and 2023, respectively.  Related Reading: XRP Remains Bullish: Crypto Experts Unveil Predictions For The Price Therefore, Shiba Inu could record significant gains this October. Moreover, the outlook for the broader crypto market in October is also bullish. For instance, Bitcoin has historically enjoyed its highest returns between October and December. The flagship crypto is again expected to enjoy a price rally starting in October.  As such, Shiba Inu’s price will also rally as Bitcoin enjoys an upward trend. Data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that SHIB’s price correlation with BTC is currently at 0.89, which indicates a strong positive price correlation between both assets. This proves that the meme coin will rally as Bitcoin moves to the upside.  Shiba Inu investors are already preparing for the historic run as data from the on-chain analytics platform Cryptoquant shows that they have accumulated 770 billion SHIB between September 23 and 24. This figure represents the outflows that left exchanges in these two days. Moving coins off exchanges indicates that these investors intend to hold for the long term.  This accumulation trend among these investors could also contribute to the price surge that Shiba Inu could enjoy in October. Fundamentals Remain A Concern Shiba Inu’s fundamentals are a concern, as they paint a bearish picture for the meme coin. Data from the Shiba Inu burn tracker Shibburn shows that the coin’s burn rate has dropped over 90% in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, there has also been a 61% drop in the number of tokens burnt in the last seven days.  The lack of network activity on Shibarium is another bearish fundamental. Data from the Shibarium explorer shows that daily transactions on the layer-2 network remain stagnant and below 10,000. A recent high was the 11,360 transactions witnessed on September 19. However, the following day, daily transactions dropped to 8,000.  Related Reading: Shiba Inu Symmetrical Triangle Pattern Reappears, Why A 200% Rally Is Possible The low activity on Shibarium has also contributed to the drop in Shiba Inu’s burn rate. Base transaction fees on Shibarium are usually converted to SHIB and burnt. However, with such low interest in the layer-2 network, there is a limit to how many SHIB tokens can be burnt.  At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at around $0.000014, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.   Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum has largely mirrored Bitcoin in terms of price action and has yet to break out on its own accord in the past few months. According to price data, Ethereum is up by 13% in the past seven days, outpacing Bitcoin’s increase of 5.8% in the same time frame. Behind this interesting increase in Ethereum are some large Ethereum holders who seem to be increasing their holdings.  Notably, on-chain data from multiple analytics platform points to an uptick in activity from Ethereum whales in the past few days. Particularly, Glassnode data suggests large holders of Ethereum have added at least 70,000 ETH into their wallets since the beginning of last week. Ethereum Whales Spend Big On ETH The interesting Ethereum whale activity noted above is revealed through on-chain analytics platform Glassnode. As shown in the chart below, the number of Ethereum wallets holding 10,000 ETH or more has experienced a rise in the last 24 hours, increasing to 925 wallets. This marks a gain of about seven new whale wallets that have accumulated a huge number of ETH tokens, up from the 918 wallets recorded on September 18.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Prediction: Crypto Pundit Reveals Why $100,000 Is The Nominal Price Level For 2025 Supporting this trend, additional data from IntoTheBlock (ITB) indicates a surge in activity from addresses holding substantial amounts of Ethereum. ITB tracks these movements through a specific metric that monitors the number and value of transactions exceeding $100,000. According to this metric, Ethereum whale activity has reached over $29 billion in the past seven days. While this figure accounts for both inflows and outflows from whale wallets, the sheer scale of these transactions is notable. Historically, such high levels of activity from large holders tend to be a bullish indicator for cryptocurrencies. This heightened activity is further reflected in the inflows of ETH into large holder wallets. On September 23, these inflows soared to 515,520 ETH, representing an impressive 440% spike compared to the 95,820 ETH recorded during the previous 24-hour period.  Time To Buy ETH? At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,626. As noted earlier, this is on the back of a 13% increase in the past seven days, prompting Ethereum’s overperformance over Bitcoin for the first time since the beginning of the year. The leading altcoin has mirrored Bitcoin’s movements so consistently that some analysts have questioned its potential for decoupling anytime soon. Related Reading: XRP Remains Bullish: Crypto Experts Unveil Predictions For The Price Ethereum’s importance in the crypto industry means there’s never a bad time to accumulate more ETH. Ethereum just broke over $2,600 for the first time in September, which is the first step in a sustained move to the upside. The next key target is to break above $2,700 before the end of the month, which could pave the way for a push towards $3,000 in October.

Cardano (ADA) has seen a remarkable performance over the week, surging over 10% and reentering the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization list. Its recent price action has fueled a bullish sentiment among investors and market watchers, who believe the token might be near a rally toward $1. Related Reading: BNB Falters At $600, Paving The Way For A Deeper Pullback Cardano Breaks Out To Reclaim Top 10 Spot Cardano’s price has steadily declined after the March highs, registering a 42% drop in the last six months. During the Q1 rally, the token hit its highest price since 2022, reaching the $0.774 price range. Since then, ADA has nosedived to pre-rally levels, disappointing some investors and market watchers. The crypto community has repeatedly slammed the project for a “lack of appeal” to the broader public. Additionally, many have criticized ADA’s “underwhelming” price action. However, the token’s recent rally has sparked a bullish sentiment among some community members. Despite the early September market shakeouts, the cryptocurrency has registered a 10% surge from its monthly opening, seeing green numbers in the weekly and biweekly timeframes. Technical analyst Crypto Yapper noted Cardano’s recent performance. The analyst highlighted that ADA displayed a multi-month descending broadening wedge structure on its chart with multiple touch points on the top side and on the lower side. Inside this structure, the cryptocurrency displayed a smaller falling wedge pattern with its upper trendline being tested again on Monday. The analyst stated that the $0.35 was the first crucial resistance level for the token. Claiming this key zone and breaking out of the falling wedge pattern could create more bullish action and move the price toward the upper line of the bigger bullish structure. On Monday, Cardano’s token reclaimed the $0.36 range, a level not seen in nearly a month. The surge sent ADA’s price toward the $0.37 resistance level, turning the $0.375 price range into a support zone on Tuesday morning. The recent performance also pushed Cardano back to the top ten cryptocurrencies list after ADA’s market capitalization surged 6%, surpassing Tron (TRX) in the last 24 hours. Analysts See New Price Targets For ADA Today, Crypto Yapper noted that ADA broke above resistance as the cryptocurrency was creating a higher high on the daily chart. This performance “indicates a huge trend reversal for Cardano.” However, he pointed out that to break above the descending broadening wedge, the token must reclaim its second key resistance level at $0.39. If successful, the breakout could target the structure’s higher price range of $0.52. Related Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) On Track For ‘Strongest September Performance’, Is $90,000 Next? Other analysts also highlighted ADA’s performance and breakout, suggesting that the cryptocurrency has the potential for a 170% surge. Dan Gambardello pointed out, “Cardano just went through a phenomenal throwback to a colossal triangle pattern.” To the analyst, “If crypto is about to enter a green October, I anticipate ADA will reclaim $1 with haste.” ADA is trading at $0.378, a 6.2% and 12.2% surge in the daily and weekly timeframes.

Expectations for the Dogecoin price remain high as a crypto analyst has predicted a rally to a new all-time high for the meme coin. Not only does the analyst expect an eventual break above the coveted $1 level, they push further, expect Dogecon to put on a parabolic rally that could shock the crypto market. This could catapult the DOGE cryptocurrency forward, and put on a performance that could be reminiscent of its 2021 price surge. Dogecoin Completes Accumulation Phase In an analysis posted on the TradingView website, pseudonymous crypto analyst TradingShot has given a bullish forecast for the Dogecoin price. First, the analyst points back to a previous analysis first shared around a year ago. This analysis had predicted that the DOGE price would enter an accumulation phase before the surge. Related Reading: Diamond Hand Ethereum Whale Moves 15,000 ETH, Here’s The Destination Fast forward to the present, the crypto analyst explains that Dogecoin did, in fact, enter this accumulation phase and completed it as predicted. This brings the crypto analyst to the next phase of the forecast, which is the price surge from here. As TradingShot explains, this accumulation phase was present in previous bullish cycle, making it an important fixture here. Furthermore, a bullish cross at the 1-Week 50 and 00-Moving Averages, as well as the 1-Week 100-Moving Average holding steady after coming to a Channel Down/Bull Flag, leads it into its Parabolic Rally phase, which is where the fun begins. Price Targets For DOGE’s Parabolic Rally With the Dogecoin price now entering the parabolic rally phase of the forecast, the crypto analyst has presented the possible levels that the DOGE price could reach. For the most conservative lives, the crypto analyst predicts that a rise to $2 is possible. TradingShot refers to this 1,760% rally from the current level as the “proper target” for this cycle. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts 8,500% Rally For Cardano To Reach $31 As Indicators Turn Bullish However, just like with any parabolic rally, there is the possibility that the price will continue to rise even after reaching its realistic target. In what the analyst calls an “overextension case,” they explain that the price could rise 5,500% to reach as high as $6. But there would have to be some new developments, such as “some news/ fundamentals introduce new uses/ adoption for Doge and the market reacts with very aggressive capital inflows.” As for the timeline for when this forecast would be realize, it doesn’t seem too far off as the analyst puts it sometime in 2025.Using the previous cycle tops for Dogecoin’s parabolic rallies, TradingShot puts the pico top sometime around August 4, 2025. This means there’s only 11 months left until this whole prediction could come to fruition. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin is currently trading around $63,500 as we start the journey into the last week of September with optimism for bullish prices. Renowned crypto analyst Willy Woo has offered an optimistic outlook for Bitcoin’s next steps, drawing attention to a key technical indicator, the Puell Multiple. In his recent analysis, Woo suggested that Bitcoin is […]

The Fed rate cuts have boosted the confidence of Bitcoin investors, with whales buying up to 1.6 billion BTC since the macro decision. With such a bullish outlook, there is the possibility that the flagship crypto can soon reach $70,000.  Fed Rate Cuts Prompt Buying Spree Among Bitcoin Whales The Fed rate cuts have prompted a buying spree among Bitcoin whales. These investors bought over 1.6 billion worth of Bitcoin following the macro decision on September 18. Data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that these whales have bought 25,510 BTC since September 19.  Related Reading: Tether (USDT) Surges With Massive Inflows, Closing In On Historic $120 Billion Market Cap Milestone This accumulation trend is unsurprising, as the 50 bps interest cut has provided a bullish outlook for risk assets, including Bitcoin. The flagship crypto is expected to experience a significant price surge since more liquidity will flow into its ecosystem as investors can access more money following the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing (QE).  With Bitcoin projected to enjoy massive moves to the upside, a rise to $70,000 soon enough is possible. The flagship crypto already flipped the $60,000 price level as support following the Fed rate cuts and is holding comfortably above that level. As expected, more liquidity is already flowing into the BTC ecosystem, as is evident from the $1.6 billion purchase by these whales.  Therefore, it shouldn’t be long enough before the crypto reaches the $70,000 price level. Bitcoin reaching this level is significant as it could pave the way for BTC to hit a new all-time high (ATH). The $70,000 price level has acted as strong resistance since the crypto dropped below this level after rising to its current ATH of $73,000 earlier in March.  However, Bitcoin could easily break above this resistance this time, considering it has more bullish momentum thanks to the Fed rate cuts.  History Could Repeat Itself In addition to the Fed rate cuts, Bitcoin’s historical trend provides a bullish outlook for the flagship crypto and suggests that a rise to $70,000 should happen soon enough. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently noted that Bitcoin enjoyed a 61% and 171% price increase in 2016 and 2020, respectively. These years were both halving years.  Related Reading: Crypto Whales Buy $228 Million In XRP Following $5 Price Prediction The analyst further revealed that Bitcoin’s price action this year mirrors 2016 and 2020. As such, history could repeat itself, and the flagship crypto could enjoy gains similar to those in previous years.  Moreover, Q4 of each year is historically when Bitcoin enjoys its most returns. Therefore, BTC should witness significant price gains heading into the last quarter of this year. Meanwhile, the post-halving rally is also around the corner, which could prompt this price surge to $70,000.  At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $63,900, up over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Over time, as the value of Bitcoin has ballooned, crypto investors have turned to other alternatives for higher potential gains and altcoins have proven to be the answer. However, the problem comes in as there are thousands of altcoins in the market, making the process of picking the right promising altcoins a rather daunting feat. […]

Bitcoin has performed well in the past few days after experiencing a strong downturn in the first two weeks of September. This rally kickstarted in the middle of this week after the Fed decided to slash the benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points (bps), a move that proved positive for cryptocurrencies.  Notably, this rally was already predicted by a few crypto analyst through technical indicators. One of such is Ali Martinez, who is a master of the TD Sequential. However, in an interesting turn of events, the analyst has highlighted the case for investors to “book some profits,” which is a sign of potential price correction up ahead.  Analyzing The Bitcoin Rally Bitcoin, which struggled to gain momentum earlier in the month, entered a strong rally that began to take shape midweek. This rally saw Bitcoin break above $63,000 again and increase its market dominance. Furthermore, the rally peaked at $63,830, reflecting an increase of about 20.77% from a low of $52,827 on September 6.  Related Reading: Grayscale XRP Trust Surges 11.44% One Week After Launch, Here’s The Catalyst However, despite the current optimism surrounding Bitcoin’s price action, Martinez has issued a word of caution to investors. In a post shared on social media platform X, Martinez highlighted that the TD Sequential, a tool he frequently uses to analyze market trends, is now indicating the potential for a price correction near the $63,700 level. Martinez pointed out that the same TD Sequential indicator, which flashed a buy signal at $57,400 before Bitcoin’s recent rally, is now warning of a possible pullback. This suggests that while the recent surge has been remarkable, the market may be nearing a critical juncture where prices could retrace. The TD Sequential told you to buy #Bitcoin at $57,400, and now it is telling you to book some profits at $63,700! pic.twitter.com/0h1yNowkae — Ali (@ali_charts) September 20, 2024 Is It Time To Sell? Looking at Bitcoin’s price action since July, the $63,000, which acted as an order block earlier in the year, has largely acted as the beginning of a resistance level during price increases. However, while the TD Sequential signals a potential price correction, Bitcoin bulls are still testing the confirmation of a continued rally.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Open interest Remains Muted Below $500 Million, What’s Going On? According to another analysis by Ali Martinez, Bitcoin is now testing the 200-day SMA, which is a critical level for confirming bull runs. History has shown that failure to break above the 200-day SMA has led to significant corrections in the past. If history were to repeat itself, this could lead to a correction towards $40,000 before the end of the year. Recent market dynamics and fundamentals have shown Bitcoin is now in a better place than it was in the past. There are now bullish catalysts within the ecosystem, like Spot Bitcoin ETFs, that would prevent a correction of such magnitude. Also, a green monthly close in September could better pave the way for a green ‘Uptober,’ leading to the continued rally in October. Nevertheless, the $63,000 and 200 SMA $63,900 price levels are important to watch for Bitcoin moving forward.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Solana (SOL) joined the recent crypto market pump after climbing 10% on Thursday. SOL’s price broke above a key resistance level, reigniting the bullish sentiment among investors and traders who believe the cryptocurrency is soon poised to reclaim higher targets. Related Reading: October To Remember: Descending Broadening Wedge Says Bitcoin Is Going To $90,000 Solana Breaks Above Key Resistance Level Following the highly anticipated US Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts, the crypto market rebounded 5% in the last 24 hours. Most cryptocurrencies have registered green numbers in the past day, recovering from their performance in the past few weeks. Solana, the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, regained momentum on Thursday after reclaiming a key level. The token had failed to break about the $140 resistance level throughout September, consolidating between the $130-$139 price range in the last few weeks. SOL had registered a 7% weekly drop by Wednesday, which alarmed many investors and market watchers. Some crypto analysts considered the token’s recent performance hinted at a possible correction that could drive the token’s price to a yearly low. Seasoned trader Peter Brandt suggested that the cryptocurrency could face a significant correction to the $80 support zone if it unsuccessfully continued retesting this resistance level. Nonetheless, SOL’s price recovered from its disappointing performance, jumping over 10% in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency moved past the $140 mark on Thursday morning, breaking out of a two-month downtrend. The price surge represented a 5.4% and 8.3% increase in the weekly and biweekly timeframes. Additionally, its daily market activity soared 81.3% in the past day, with a daily trading volume of $3.76 billion. Experts Set Next Targets For SOL Some analysts highlighted Solana’s performance, suggesting that the cryptocurrency is ready to aim for higher targets. Crypto analyst Jelle stated that, in the higher timeframes, Solana has performed considerably better than most altcoins. Other market watchers previously noted Solana’s strength since Q3 started. During the market retraces, the cryptocurrency was deemed “one of the strongest assets” after moving sideways while other tokens made new lows. Jelle highlighted that SOL’s price still held “all key support levels even though most altcoins are down >50% from the highs.” Effectively, Solana has remained above the $120 support zone since March, currently being 31% down from March’s highs. Related Reading: Will Bitcoin Bullish Swing Continue? Top Analyst Says Yes Similarly, crypto analyst Yuriy considers SOL’s recent performance has set the stage for a breakout above the $150 resistance level. However, he warned that bulls must hold the $138 mark, as failing to maintain this support could lead to a correction to the $120 level. The analyst believes a successful breakout will send SOL’s price to the $160 resistance zone next, potentially moving toward the $180-200 targets. As of this writing, SOL is trading at $143.3, a 12.2% increase in the last 24 hours. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst Jelle has highlighted a bullish pattern on the Bitcoin chart, which he predicts could send its price as high as $90,000. He also provided a timeline for when this parabolic rally could begin. This comes amid a bullish outlook for the flagship crypto following the Fed rate cuts.  Descending Broadening Wedge Could Send Bitcoin To $90,000 In an X post, Jelle mentioned a descending broadening wedge pattern that had formed on Bitcoin’s chart. He claimed that the pattern has a price target of $90,000 and added that he expects the price breakout to this target to begin in October. The analyst also remarked that the fourth quarter of this year should be “fun” for Bitcoin.  Related Reading: Ethereum In 2021 Vs. 2024: Fractal Suggests Major Breakout In Q4 Indeed, based on history, Bitcoin could enjoy significant returns throughout October, November, and December of this year. The flagship crypto has recorded positive monthly returns in the fourth quarter of the last two halving years. Moreover, Q4 always yields the highest returns of the year for Bitcoin.  Meanwhile, in another X post, Jelle highlighted key price levels that Bitcoin needs to break above to ride to a new all-time high (ATH) and this $90,000 price target. He remarked that claiming $62,000 will be a good start for the flagship crypto and that once the price breaks above $65,000, there will be no stopping the train to a new ATH.  Bitcoin’s current ATH stands at $73,000, a price level reached in March earlier this year. However, analysts like Jelle have continued to suggest that it is still way below the crypto’s market peak in this bull run. There is also the possibility of Bitcoin rising above $100,000 in this bull run.  Standard Chartered predicts that BTC could reach this price level this year. The bank has also predicted that Bitcoin could rise to as high as $150,000 if Donald Trump wins the election.  BTC’s Bull Case Just Got Stronger Jelle also mentioned that Bitcoin’s bull case grew stronger following the Fed rate cuts. The US Federal Reserve announced a 50 basis point (bps) interest rate cut on September 18, a move widely regarded as bullish for the flagship crypto. The crypto analyst mentioned that expansionary policy is on the horizon with looser monetary back in place.  Related Reading: Fantom To $2: Here’s What’s Driving The FTM Price Recovery More liquidity is expected to flow into risk assets like Bitcoin, sparking a price surge in the crypto’s price, which has remained stagnant for a while due to low demand. The bulls also look to be back following the rate cuts, which could signal a bullish reversal for BTC.  Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently revealed that 61.95% of top traders on Binance are going long on the flagship crypto. Before now, there was a bearish sentiment among these traders, as NewsBTC reported that 51.41% of them were shorting Bitcoin.  At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $61,900, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Recent Ethereum price action saw ETH reaching another low of $2,150 on September 6, raising concerns of a more severe drop towards the $2,000 price level. Although these concerns were eased with a subsequent bounce to $2,460 on September 13, Ethereum remains largely in a downtrend, with a triple-bottom price formation now shaping up. Interestingly, this triple bottom formation is not new for Ethereum. As technical analysis points out, the current price action seems to repeat a similar playout in mid-2021.   Ethereum Fractal Suggests Rally In Q4 According to a technical analysis by crypto analyst CryptoBullet on social media platform X, Ethereum is shaping up to form a triple bottom price formation on the 1D candlestick time frame. While the third bottom has yet to be fully completed, the analyst draws attention to a similar pattern that unfolded between June and August 2021. Related Reading: Analyst Identifies $0.75 As Most Crucial Target For XRP Price In The Campaign For $1 During those three months, Ethereum’s price fluctuated up and down to create three distinct lows just above the $1,675 mark. After the third low was established, Ethereum experienced a significant bullish rally that propelled it to break through and establish its current all-time high. This upward movement became even more pronounced after a fractal pattern emerged in August 2021, signaling a strong momentum shift. Recent market dynamics have prompted Ethereum to create two bottoms of around $2,150 in August and September. Interestingly, a recent rejection at the $2,450 resistance has seen Ethereum pushing on a decline. This has prompted analyst CryptoBullet to highlight the possibility of a third low in October, thereby completing the triple bottom formation. Price formations in cryptocurrency markets are known to repeat over time, often following patterns that can help traders anticipate future movements. While no two market conditions are exactly the same, studying past price movements provides valuable insights into what may happen in the future. A similar playout of the 2021 price action puts on a similar surge for Ethereum in Q4 2024. Notably, the analyst envisioned a rally towards the $3,700 price level.  What’s Next For ETH? At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,320 and continues to exhibit a weak short-term outlook. If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,340 resistance, it could start another decline towards $2,150.  Related Reading: Shiba Inu Competitor FLOKI Forms Falling Wedge That Could Trigger 54% Breakout This weak performance and outlook are even more pronounced compared with Bitcoin. As such, Ethereum/Bitcoin is now at its lowest level since April 2021, a staggering 41-month low. Most of this lackluster action has also been exacerbated by selloffs from a few large holders. For instance, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently came under scrutiny for selling $2.2 million worth of Ethereum.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

The XRP price has experienced a notable surge in recent days amidst the wider backdrop of the crypto industry. At the time of writing, many cryptocurrencies are starting to reverse their seven-day gains due to Bitcoin’s failure to break above $60,000 on Monday. However, XRP continues to stand firm, registering a 2.23% gain in the past 24 hours. This positive price movement has sparked discussions within the crypto community about the potential for a significant breakthrough.  Analyst Identifies $0.75 As A Crucial Target EGRAG CRYPTO’s highlight of the $0.75 price mark for XRP is based on an XRP/USD price chart on the weekly candlestick timeframe, which he shared on social media platform X. Interestingly, the latest highlight comes as an update to his XRP analysis from January 2024. This analysis focuses on XRP’s price structural formation, sentiment status, MACRO range, and psychological zone, all in critical price zones. The most notable are the MACRO range, which starts at $0.71, and the psychological zone at $0.932. Related Reading: Dogecoin At $0.1 Is A ‘Gift’, Falling Wedge Breaking Bullish To Send Price To $0.2 According to crypto analyst EGRAG Crypto, the key resistance level for XRP is $0.75, which could make or break its journey to $1. As EGRAG noted, all these levels can be shattered with just one strong daily candle, with emphasis on $0.75. For XRP, the $0.75 mark is within the MACRO range. Interestingly, XRP is yet to break above $0.75 this year, with its highest point so far being $0.718. Should the cryptocurrency manage to close above this level on a weekly timeframe, it could pave the way for a more substantial price rally.  Will The XRP Price Sustain A Rally To $1? At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at $0.5851 and is still on 8.4% gains in seven days. Based on the recent update, EGRAG noted that the move towards $1 is still in play, as XRP is poised for a massive breakout.  Although EGRAG only noted the $0.75 price as the most crucial for a breakthrough, there exist other resistance levels that serve as forerunners. Looking at the XRP price chart, XRP has been trading below $0.62 since March. Interestingly, the cryptocurrency has retested this price level at least six times since then and has failed to break above.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Accumulation In Full Swing As $1.3 Billion Exits Exchanges, $75,000 Next? From a technical perspective, $0.62 has emerged as a pivotal price point, acting as a short-term hurdle that XRP bulls must conquer before setting their sights on the more significant $0.75 resistance. A clear break above these levels would signal increasing buyer strength and potentially open the door for a campaign to $1. From a fundamental point of view, the XRP price is starting to campaign to the $1 mark in light of recent events in the XRP ecosystem. One such event is Grayscale’s recent unveiling of the first XRP trust in the US. This move has prompted speculation that an XRP ETF will hit the market soon. Another noteworthy development is the relisting of XRP on the European version of Robinhood. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Dogecoin maintains its position as one of the most beloved altcoins in the crypto market, and the decline over the last few months has not eroded the bullish expectations for the meme coin. Analysts have continued to point out that the DOGE price is forming multiple bullish patterns on its chart and believe that the […]

Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently trading at $0.102, but the popular meme-based cryptocurrency appears to be positioning itself for a potential move to the upside. Over the past five months, Dogecoin has largely traded in a downtrend with the formation of lower highs and lower lows. This consistent downward pressure has led to the development of a classic price pattern known as a falling wedge. According to a technical analyst who has been closely tracking Dogecoin’s movements, the daily chart suggests that the falling wedge is nearing its conclusion, and a bullish breakout is now in sight. If Dogecoin successfully breaks out of this wedge, the analyst projects a price target of $0.20. Dogecoin Falling Wedge Breaking Bullish A falling wedge is a narrowing price channel that typically signals a reversal from bearish to bullish momentum. The key feature of this pattern is that it shows a gradual reduction in the downward price movement as buyers start to step in, causing price consolidation. In the case of Dogecoin, this pattern was highlighted by a technical analyst known pseudonymously as Crypto Yapper on social media platform X.  Related Reading: Analyst Sounds Warning For Bullish Investors, Says Solana Will Crash 42% To $80 According to the DOGE/USDT chart on the 1D candlestick, DOGE has largely been on a downtrend since it peaked at its yearly high of $0.22 in March. At one point, DOGE fell by 63% from $0.22 to a low of $0.08 on August 5. Following this low point in early August, Dogecoin has managed to stage a modest recovery, rising by approximately 25% to its current level. However, DOGE has yet to break above the upper resistance trendline of the falling wedge pattern. $DOGE almost Breaking Out ! This Falling Wedge on the #DOGE daily chart is close to breaking Bullish The break out target for #Dogecoin will be $0.20 pic.twitter.com/MoAQe1Xo6r — Crypto Yapper (@CryptoYapper) September 14, 2024 Since bouncing off $0.088 on September 6, DOGE has traveled upwards to retest the upper trendline of the falling wedge at around $0.108. As noted by Crypto Yapper, a successful break to the upside would see DOGE doubling its current value and reaching $0.20. While this price target might seem modest at first glance, especially considering that Dogecoin had already surpassed $0.20 earlier in the year, it represents the cryptocurrency’s recovery from its prolonged downtrend. This, in turn, could lead to a total change into bullish sentiment, with DOGE eventually breaking above $0.22. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Will Reach $68,000 By End Of September, $90,000 In December Echoing the falling wedge pattern analysis is another DOGE trader (CryptoHotep). According to him, DOGE at $0.10 is a gift. His post featured a similar DOGE/USD price chart featuring the falling wedge pattern from $0.22, albeit with the upper trendline only. This comment was made regarding a forecasted breakout above the upper trendline. Although there wasn’t a projected price target, his comment showed this is probably the best time to buy DOGE before the projected breakout.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
