THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Dogecoin has plunged violently over the past 24 hours, shedding a large chunk of its value in a brutal correction across the entire crypto market. What looked like a hold above $0.25 turned into a fast breakdown that dragged the Dogecoin price to as low as $0.148 within 24 hours. However, technical analysis from crypto analyst Kaleo shows Dogecoin is ready to hit new all-time highs. In a post on X, he doubled down on a remarkably bullish prediction, stating that $6.90 is a “magnet” for Dogecoin. Related Reading: Bitcoin Who? XRP Leads Coinbase Search Charts, Beating The Giants Dogecoin Chart Tells The Story In his post on the social media platform X, Kaleo noted how members of the crypto community are increasingly waking up to see how primed Dogecoin is to reach higher levels. The chart accompanying Kaleo’s post shows the historical pattern that Dogecoin has followed after previous Bitcoin halvings.  Each halving has always been followed by years of massive upside moves in Dogecoin’s price, with the meme coin breaking out of long-term descending resistance lines to record exponential gains. Examples shown in this chart are the 2017 and 2021 explosive price surges.  Kaleo suggested that the current market phase mirrors the same structure seen just before the 2021 bull run, when Dogecoin broke above a key lower-high resistance from its previous all-time high. This moment is illustrated on the chart with the label “We are here.” Dogecoin Price Chart. Source: @CryptoKaleo on X The $6.90 Magnet: Kaleo’s Logic Behind The Forecast Kaleo acknowledged that the projection of a $6.9 Dogecoin price target might sound a little too bullish, but his logic is based on the logic of market cap math. In his post, he explained that his projection for Bitcoin this cycle is to surpass $500,000. If Bitcoin surpasses $500,000 as expected, it would translate to a $10 trillion market capitalization.  This sheer amount of inflow would flow into the rest of the crypto market, and Dogecoin could theoretically reach 10% of Bitcoin’s valuation, just as it did during the 2021 mania. That ratio implies a $1 trillion market cap for Dogecoin, which is equivalent to a $6.94 price per token based on the current circulating supply.  Dogecoin’s recent price crash has complicated this bullish narrative. Instead of confirming an imminent breakout, the meme coin has fallen below the $0.25 support level. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.1971, down by 21.4% in the past 24 hours and having reached an intraday low of $0.1489.

Yet, it also risks extending Dogecoin’s bearish structure and delaying any breakout if the price fails to recover quickly. Right now, recovery above $0.25 is important for bulls to rebuild bullish momentum. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The Dogecoin price has reached a key point on the charts, tapping into the Imbalance Zone (IMB) around $0.24. This area now stands as a potential pivot point that could determine whether the popular meme coin rebounds toward $0.27 or continues its decline. Analysts are watching the zone closely, suggesting it could be a make-or-break moment for Dogecoin’s short-term structure.  Dogecoin Price Holds IMB Zone As Bulls Eye $0.27 Crypto analyst ‘Blockchain Baller’ disclosed on X social media on Thursday that Dogecoin has “tapped the IMB zone after a clean manipulation and structure break,” signaling the potential end of a corrective phase. At the time, the analyst’s 4-hour chart showed DOGE hovering around the $0.235 – $0.245 region—an area that historically acts as a liquidity zone where price inefficiencies often get filled before a move higher.  Related Reading: Sinking In Minutes: Binance Alpha Token Plunges 99% In Shocking Price Meltdown Blockchain Baller asserts that manipulation and structural breaks are both classic signs that the market may be preparing for a reversal. The analyst notes that price has reacted multiple times in the same region, showing that buyers are stepping in to defend the zone.  The chart analysis also highlights the zone between $0.235 and $0.245 as the critical decision point for DOGE bulls. If price climbs back to this level and holds it as support, Blockchain Baller predicts a short-term rebound toward the $0.26 – $0.27 range. For a bullish confirmation, the analyst suggests that the price would need to break above “short-term resistance“ with increasing momentum.  For now, Dogecoin’s immediate path seems to depend on how it reacts to the IMB zone. Blockchain Baller has indicated that a strong bounce could mark the beginning of a new impulsive leg, while a breakdown below $0.235 could temporarily delay recovery.  Dogecoin Price Targets $6 Amid Market Decline On a broader timeframe, crypto market expert Kaleo has pointed out that Dogecoin’s market structure is gradually positioning itself for a major upward move. His long-term chart analysis draws striking parallels between DOGE’s current price action and the previous cycles observed before each Bitcoin halving event.  In the past, Dogecoin has consistently broken out from long-term descending triangles shortly after a Bitcoin halving, leading to explosive price rallies. Kaleo’s chart shows DOGE’s past rallies from similar formations produced gains of over 20,000% in 2021 and 30,000% in 2027.  Dogecoin’s price action currently mirrors these exact setups, suggesting that its price could be preparing for a historic move again. If history repeats, Kaleo has set DOGE’s long-term target at $6.9, representing a 3,530% increase from current levels around $0.19. Related Reading: Bitcoin Who? XRP Leads Coinbase Search Charts, Beating The Giants Interestingly, the analyst’s forecast comes just after a sharp daily crash saw Dogecoin drop about 60% at its lowest point. Market expert Kevin noted that the fall was too extreme to be retail-driven, hinting at systemic exchange failures across Binance, Coinbase, and Robinhood, which temporarily restricted buying during the dip.  Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

A consortium of major banks, including Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and UBS, announced on Friday that they will collaborate to explore the development of stablecoins pegged to G7 currencies.  A New Era For Crypto In Mainstream Finance The renewed interest in stablecoins comes in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s endorsement of the sector, which has reignited discussions about integrating blockchain technology into mainstream finance.  Currently, the stablecoin market is heavily dominated by Tether (USDT), based in El Salvador, which accounts for approximately $179 billion of the total $310 billion in stablecoins circulating, according to data from CoinGecko. The banks involved in this new initiative, which also includes Santander, Barclays, BNP Paribas, MUFG, TD Bank Group, and others, have stated that the goal is to assess whether a collaborative industry offering could enhance competition and bring the benefits of digital assets to the market, all while ensuring compliance.

Analyst Charts Path To $0.60 Notably, France’s Societe Generale recently became the first major bank to issue a dollar-backed stablecoin through its digital asset subsidiary, although it has seen limited adoption, with only $30.6 million currently in circulation. In addition to this consortium, a separate group of nine European banks, including prominent names like ING and UniCredit, is also in the process of launching a euro-denominated stablecoin.  Meanwhile, Citi has made strides in the stablecoin space by investing in BVNK, a company focused on stablecoin infrastructure.  Demand For Stablecoin Solutions Grows Although Citi has not disclosed the amount of its investment, the co-founder of BVNK, Chris Harmse, told during an interview with CNBC, that the company’s valuation has surpassed $750 million, as reported in its latest funding round. Harmse remarked on the increasing demand for stablecoin infrastructure, particularly with the emergence of regulatory clarity through the passage of the GENIUS Act in the US. This has prompted major US banks to strategically position themselves in the crypto ecosystem.  Citi’s CEO, Jane Fraser, has indicated that the bank is contemplating the issuance of its own stablecoin while also exploring custodian services for digital assets. However, Citi is not alone in its pursuit of digital asset integration; JPMorgan Chase has already launched its own stablecoin-like token, JPMD.

For instance, Bank of New York Mellon is currently looking into tokenized deposits, while HSBC has already rolled out a tokenized deposit service.

After an impressive rally that propelled Bitcoin (BTC) to new heights above $126,000, the cryptocurrency market is now facing a wave of uncertainty. Major cryptocurrencies, including BTC, have seen a retracement to critical support levels, leaving many investors questioning the market’s direction.  Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Projected To Skyrocket Market expert Ash Crypto recently shared insights on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), suggesting that this pullback serves to liquidate bullish positions, particularly among retail investors. He predicts a potential rebound in mid-October, expressing optimism that the market will rally significantly by the end of the month. Related Reading: BNB Price Soars 600% From Bear Market Lows, Eyeing $1,980 As Next Target According to Ash Crypto, the prevailing sentiment among traders is one of fear, leading many to believe that the anticipated “PUMPTober” has been canceled. However, he argues that when market sentiment is at its most pessimistic, a substantial bounce is likely to occur, setting the stage for a parabolic rally in the fourth quarter.  The expert’s projections estimate that Bitcoin could soar to between $150,000 and $180,000, while Ethereum (ETH) might reach between $8,000 and $12,000. This surge, he contends, would ignite a genuine altcoin season, with altcoins potentially experiencing gains of 10 to 50 times their current values within a few months. Analysts Predict Explosive Altcoin Phase Supporting this bullish outlook, analysts from The Bull Theory have noted that the cryptocurrency market is on the brink of its most explosive phase for altcoins. They draw parallels to the market behavior of 2020, when altcoins experienced a significant breakout after a lengthy base-building period.  The analysts point out that the current market structure mirrors that of 2020, with a multi-year base formation and higher lows indicating that buyers are increasingly absorbing supply.  The total altcoin market cap, excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum (referred to as TOTAL3), currently hovers around $1.14 trillion, just below a key resistance level of approximately $1.2 trillion. Historically, altseason has not commenced until this resistance is breached. As long as Bitcoin continues to reach new highs, liquidity tends to concentrate in BTC, leaving altcoins in the shadows.  However, once TOTAL3 breaks through its ceiling, the analysts anticipate a massive upside, potentially pushing the altcoin market cap to between $5 trillion and $7 trillion.  Related Reading: XRP Bull Run Reloaded: Analyst Says Momentum Mirrors 2017’s Explosive Rally This potential breakout is occurring alongside favorable conditions, including high Bitcoin dominance, significant inflows into Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), improving regulatory clarity, and the resumption of global liquidity injections from countries like China and Japan. The current period of consolidation, rather than indicating weakness, is seen as a necessary phase before a broader expansion. As analysts emphasize, altseason does not begin arbitrarily; it commences when TOTAL3 decisively breaks out of its resistance. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Zcash traded above $230 in a privacy-coin rally as traders pivoted to a censorship-resistant trend, while some warn the move could signal a local BTC top.

The cryptocurrency landscape is witnessing a remarkable shift, with the BNB price emerging as a standout performer among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.  Over the past week, Binance Coin has surged by 30%, propelling its price to a new all-time high just shy of $1,350. This latest rally translates to a major 600% increase from its last bear market lows. Binance Coin Becomes Third-Largest Cryptocurrency  The recent momentum has been particularly noteworthy, as the BNB price eyes to turn the $1,300 mark as its new support for further upside movements, retracing only 2% from its peak after its record-breaking rally on Tuesday.  This minimal pullback signals a lack of sustained selling pressure and suggests that further upside potential remains on the horizon. If this trend continues, analysts are eyeing new price targets for BNB. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reaches Forecasted All-Time High: Prophecy Predicts Bear Market Low In 364 Days The uptrend has also witnessed BNB surpass both XRP and Tether’s USDT, reclaiming its status as the third-largest cryptocurrency, trailing only behind Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC).  This has been in part, attributed to CEA Industries Inc., which recently announced it has acquired over $600 million worth of BNB, holding 480,000 tokens at an average cost of $860 each.  CEA’s ambition to become a major player in the BNB ecosystem, is also highlighted on its roadmap with plans to own 1% of the total Binance Coin supply by the end of the year. David Namdar, CEO of CEA Industries, commented on the recent surge, stating, “BNB’s all-time highs are a clear validation that the global markets are waking up to the inherent value, credibility, scale, and utility of both the asset and underlying ecosystem.”  The company’s CEO further emphasized that Binance Coin should be viewed not merely as a token, but as a central component of a “highly integrated network.” BNB Price Eyes Fibonacci Targets Of $1,486 And $1,983 Market expert Lark Davis has also added to the growing bullish sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency’s rally on social media site X (formerly Twitter), noting that BNB is now firmly in price discovery mode, which could lead to further significant gains as the anticipated demand continues to grow.  Related Reading: XRP Price Under Pressure: These Key Levels Hold The Fate Of A New Record Or A Drop Below $2 According to the expert’s analysis, the next major Fibonacci targets for the BNB price are set at $1,486 for the 2.618 level and $1,983 for the 3.618 level, indicating a strong possibility for continued upward momentum. This implies that if this scenario plays out, the coming days of months could see additional increases for the BNB price of 14% and a major 52% in the case of breaching $1,900.

In stark contrast to the broader resurgence in the cryptocurrency market, where many assets are approaching or exceeding record highs, the XRP price finds itself in a precarious position.  The altcoin has consistently failed to breach its nearest resistance level at $3, resulting in a retracement to crucial support levels that are vital for preventing a significant correction and further declines. XRP Price Struggles As Bitcoin Hits New High While Bitcoin (BTC) recently celebrated a new all-time high above $126,000, Ethereum (ETH) is inching closer to its own record of $4,900, and Binance Coin (BNB) mirrors Bitcoin’s ascent with prices rising above $1,300, XRP has faced a nearly 4% drop.  Related Reading: Is A $10,000 Ethereum Price Within Reach? Here’s What Experts Are Forecasting Next Market expert Lark Davis expressed his concern on social media site X (formerly Twitter), stating that the XRP price has been unable to find its footing, repeatedly getting pushed down in its attempts to break the descending resistance line.  He emphasized that a successful break above the orange line just above the current trading price could open the door to a target of $4, which would mean a new all-time high for the XRP price.  However, Davis cautioned that failure to achieve this could necessitate reliance on the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $2.94. Currently, XRP is trading at $2.92, just below this critical level, further accentuating the lack of bullish momentum.  A sustained drop below this point could lead to further declines toward nearby support levels, with $2.77 emerging as a significant threshold on the daily chart. The $2.60 mark also becomes increasingly important.  Should this level be tested, it could prevent a major collapse toward $2.22, a pivotal consolidation point since June that preceded XRP’s surge to over $3.60 in July. On the contrary, if this support breaks, the $2 mark could be in jeopardy for the remainder of the year.  Can Consolidation Lead To A Breakout? Despite these challenges, some analysts remain optimistic about the XRP price prospects. Egrag Crypto, a market analyst recognized for bullish forecasts on the altcoin, shared an encouraging outlook on social media.  He highlighted the potential for an October breakout, based on mathematical projections and historical breakout percentages. Egrag pointed out that an ascending triangle typically breaks out around the 70-80% mark of its formation. According to his analysis, if the XRP price continues to consolidate within this triangle pattern between $2.6 and $3.6, traders can anticipate a breakout as it approaches 70% to 80% of its formation.  Related Reading: BNB Price Hits $1,240 Record High: Partners With Chainlink For On-Chain US Economic Data Despite the uncertainty surrounding XRP’s immediate performance, the $3 resistance level remains pivotal for initiating a new uptrend and reclaiming its position against BNB as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.  Currently, XRP has slipped to the fourth spot, having been overtaken by Binance Coin. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the XRP price can overcome its challenges and regain momentum in this competitive landscape.

The BNB price continues to defy broader market trends, reaching an impressive new peak of $1,240 to kick off the week and solidifying its status as one of the top performers in the cryptocurrency industry.  BNB Chain Partners With Chainlink  Over the past 30 days, the BNB price has recorded an impressive 41% gain, driven in part by a recent collaboration between BNB Chain and Chainlink (LINK), dubbed as one of the market’s leading oracle providers.  This partnership was publicly announced on Monday on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where Chainlink revealed that BNB Chain had adopted its data standard to make official US Department of Commerce data available on-chain.  Related Reading: XRP Ready For $9 Blast — ‘Break $3.10 And It’s Game Over,’ Says Analyst The data sourced from the Bureau of Economic Analysis will enable Chainlink Price Feeds to deliver critical macroeconomic indicators directly to BNB Chain.  These indicators include key metrics like Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers.  Chainlink asserts that the availability of such data opens up a series of new possibilities for developers, allowing for the creation of new types of digital assets, prediction markets that leverage transparent economic inputs, and perpetual futures markets grounded in official government statistics.  Furthermore, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols can improve their risk management strategies by aligning them with real-world economic conditions. BNB Price Target Raised To $1,500  Market expert Crypto King has been vocal about the BNB price trajectory, asserting that the token is demonstrating a clear trend of upward momentum.  He identified three significant breakout phases: one in July that sparked a strong rally, a second in September, and the current breakout, which he believes is building toward new highs. Crypto King has set an ambitious target of $1,500 for Binance Coin, suggesting that this structural climb is anything but random. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Crashed After Hitting $125,700 All-Time High However, not all market analysts share the same optimism. Another expert, known as Crypto Claws on X, has issued a cautionary note, warning that if the current momentum fizzles, a correction toward the $700 range by December could be on the horizon.  This scenario would imply a potential 43% decline for the BNB price, raising concerns about the token’s technical structure and the likelihood of a necessary pullback before the next significant bullish leg. In addition to the BNB price performance, other cryptocurrencies are also following the token’s lead. Bitcoin (BTC) has surged past the $125,000 mark, achieving a new record, while Ethereum (ETH) is just 5% shy of breaking its previous high.  Meanwhile, Chainlink’s native token, LINK, remains well below its all-time high of $52.70, currently trading just under $23—a gap of nearly 57% that suggests room for growth.

XRP has defended support at $2.90 and made several attempts to push above $3.10 over the past week. Although XRP bulls have managed to hold above $3, the cryptocurrency hasn’t really followed rallies witnessed by Bitcoin and Ethereum in the past 24 hours.  Nonethless, XRP’s price action in the past few days has caused its price chart to print a new technical setup that has previously marked the beginning of significant rallies, and history might repeat itself again. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks $123,000 As Rising Open Interest Signals More Action Ahead Bullish XRP Technical Signal Reappears Technical analysis of XRP’s 3-day candlestick chart shows that the cryptocurrency is currently repeating a technical signal which has preceded rallies multiple times this cycle. This signal, which was first revealed on the social media platform X by crypto analyst Cryptoinsightsuk, holds importance, as it has preceeded three different price rallies already this cycle. Crypto analyst Cryptoinsightuk shared a post on X highlighting this development, noting that XRP just achieved a great 3-day candle close and a simultaneous bullish cross on the 3-day RSI, which is a setup that historically preceded explosive price movements. The RSI, which tracks momentum shifts in market sentiment, has just crossed above its signal line to form a bullish structure identical to those seen in November 2024, April 2025, and June 2025. Each of these past simultaneous 3-day candle closes and RSI crosses occurred shortly before major XRP rallies.  The RSI crossover in November 2024 occurred right before the most remarkable XRP rally since 2017. Notably, this RSI breakout was followed by a sharp 500% price surge, and XRP’s price increased from around $0.5 to over $3 within the weeks that followed.  The April 2025 signal similarly preceded another leg up. Although the resulting rally was smaller than the November 2024 rally, XRP went from around $1.9 to $2.7. Then came June 2025, when the same RSI and candle setup appeared for a third time after XRP closed its 3-day candlestick above $2.2. This one proved even more significant than April’s signal, and this eventually culminated in a new all-time high of $3.65. XRP 3D Price Chart. Source: Cryptoinsightuk on X Market Context And What Comes Next The patterns noted above are very important for XRP, and there’s no reason for it not to repeat the same rally. According to Cryptoinsightuk, the reappearance of this exact signal suggests that XRP might once again be gearing up for pop to the upside. Interestingly, the signal also sets a good precedent for the possible approval of Spot XRP ETF applications by the US SEC. Related Reading: XRP To $100?

If history repeats itself even on a smaller scale, such as the rally witnessed in April 2025, XRP could climb toward $3.80 in the coming weeks. The most bullish repeat scenario could see the XRP price climb as high as $15.  Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Dogecoin has shown signs of renewed momentum after reclaiming ground above $0.26 in the past 24 hours, but it hasn’t made a clean breakout yet. Nonetheless, crypto analysts are bullish on the meme coin, and a few of them have highlighted important support, resistance, and breakout levels. As it stands, Dogecoin path to $0.3 still holds merit, and its reaction here will determine how its price action plays out. Analysts Map Out Bullish Setups And Near-Term Targets The $0.30 level, in particular, stands out as the next critical threshold for Dogecoin: both as a psychological and technical marker that could open the door for a stronger rally if conquered.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks $123,000 As Rising Open Interest Signals More Action Ahead For instance, crypto analyst Ali Martinez observed that Dogecoin is currently trading within an ascending channel. This pattern holds merit as a bullish continuation, and according to the analyst, Dogecoin is still in the accumulation phase. The projection on the chart shows all that’s needed now is for a clean break above $0.3 for Dogecoin to enter into an expansion phase. Dogecoin 1W Price Chart: @ali_charts on X EtherNasyonaL, another crypto analyst, is more aggressive with Dogecoin. According to his projection, Dogecoin has now completed a successful retest after breaking above a descending trendline of lower highs. The most recent 3-day candlestick now shows Dogecoin forming a bullish candle above $0.25, and now the next step is a bullish leg to new all-time highs. Dogecoin 3D Price Chart: @EtherNasyonaL on X Dogecoin has been consolidating in a clear nine-month ascending triangle and is now approaching a key breakout point, according to a TradingView analysis. The pattern has been forming since early 2025 with rising support around $0.22 and a horizontal resistance zone between $0.28 and $0.30. Therefore, a confirmed breakout above $0.30 could send the Dogecoin price to between $0.38 and $0.40, matching the height of the formation and aligning with a prior resistance zone from earlier in the year. The breakout must come with a strong daily candle close above $0.30 and a clear volume surge, ideally two to three times higher than normal. Failure to hold above $0.30 or a drop below $0.22 would invalidate the bullish setup, but for now, Dogecoin’s structure suggests that a decisive move is close. Dogecoin 4H Price Chart: The Pythia On TradingView Early Signs Of Strength Dogecoin needs enough trading volume in order to complete this predicted move. The move needs to be backed by a noticeable surge in trading volume, ideally two to three times higher than the recent average. Dogecoin’s trading volume has spiked notably in the past 24 hours, coming to $2.5 billion across all exchanges. Furthermore, active addresses and transaction frequency have both increased over the last few trading hours.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Rockets Past $119K, Analysts Now Eye $130K Target At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.2644, up by 4.5% and 16.7% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively.

Whales are on the move again, and this time it aligns with one of the biggest ETF buying weeks of the year for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Both Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs returned to inflows last week, and data shows some whales addresses are also moving their crypto assets from exchanges and into self custody.  On-chain tracker Lookonchain reported that newly created wallets have withdrawn massive amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum from major exchanges, showing the large-scale accumulation by crypto whales. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks $123,000 As Rising Open Interest Signals More Action Ahead Massive Withdrawals From Crypto Exchanges According to data from SosoValue, Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $3.24 billion worth of inflows in the just-concluded week, reversing the $902.5 million outflows seen the previous week. Notably, this week’s inflow number is the largest weekly inflow on record for Spot Bitcoin ETFs this year. Spot Ethereum ETFs, on the other hand, saw $1.30 billion inflows last week, which is another drastic change from last week’s outflows of $795.56 million. However, this activity is not limited to Spot ETFs alone. Fresh wallet activity shows aggressive accumulation activity among whale addresses moving into self custody. In one instance, on-chain analytics tracker Lookonchain noted that a newly created wallet, identified as 0x982C, withdrew 26,029 ETH worth approximately $118 million from Kraken. Another newly created Bitcoin wallet, bc1qks, withdrew 620 BTC valued at $76 million from Binance. Both movements are large-scale repositioning of capital away from exchanges, and this is a sign that whales are expecting further price appreciation. Whales are buying $ETH and $BTC! Newly created wallet 0x982C withdrew 26,029 $ETH($118M) from #Kraken 8 hours ago.

Almost 170,000 Bitcoin were removed from crypto exchanges in the last 30 days, with the most activity coming in the just concluded week. This has pushed the Bitcoin exchange balance below 2.85 million BTC for the first time since January 2021. Bitcoin Exchange Balance. Source: @btconexchanges on X Price Outlook For Bitcoin And Ethereum The combination of institutional inflows and whale accumulation has been already reflected in the price action of both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin has surged past its previous record to hit a new all-time high of $125,506 within the last few hours, and is currently trading around $124,813. This is a drastic change from just a week ago, when Bitcoin broke below $110,000, which caused the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index to crash to its lowest point since March. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rockets Past $119K, Analysts Now Eye $130K Target Ethereum has also turned bullish and is trading at $4,575 at the time of writing. Another good week of Spot ETF inflows and whale accumulation continuing at the current pace could cause Bitcoin to extend its rally throughout the week. This, in turn could see Bitcoin break $130,000 before the end of the new week. However, a brief cooldown isn’t off the table. Any pullback could cause Bitcoin to retest $120,000 before the next leg higher. Still on the bullish case, Ethereum’s price could also push to new all-time highs above $5,000 in the coming weeks.

Dogecoin’s price action in recent days has been defined by steady higher lows and attempts to break above $0.25. The meme coin has managed to maintain bullish momentum in the past 24 hours after ending September consolidating.  This recent move has kept Dogecoin’s uptrend intact on the daily chart, and according to technical analysis shared on the social media platform X by analyst Javon Marks, this structure could be setting the stage for a powerful upward move. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rockets Past $119K, Analysts Now Eye $130K Target Breakout Structure And Higher Lows According to Marks, Dogecoin’s current price formation could be the early stages of a massive rally that carries the meme coin to $0.65 in a quick move.  This prediction is based off a clear sequence of higher lows (HL) and higher highs that has been forming on the Dogecoin price chart. This formation is on the 5-day candlestick timeframe chart, and it goes as far back as the 2022 bear market. The first higher low started from the capitulation low in 2022 and continued through 2023 into 2024. Each higher low shows growing buyer interest after every correction, which is a sign of bullish continuation on higher timeframes. The most recent example came during September’s downturn, when Dogecoin found a strong support at $0.22. Rather than breaking down further, the price rebounded from this level to create yet another higher low in the series. This response was important because it confirmed that Dogecoin’s uptrend was still intact. Marks points out that this upward structure of higher lows means that another wave up is likely to be in the works. Therefore, the current phase between $0.22 and $0.25 now is more of a build-up before the next explosive move higher. Dogecoin 5-day price chart: Javon Marks on X The Case For A 153% Rally To $0.6533 Marks’ projection goes beyond a simple breakout. The analyst projected Dogecoin to go on to create another higher high in the coming weeks and months. This wave up could be an over 153% run from Dogecoin’s current price level.  His chart identifies $0.6533 as the immediate target for this wave. Achieving this level would require Dogecoin to more than double from its current price, but this is not unprecedented given its price history. If Dogecoin were to reach the $0.6533 breakout target, it would be its strongest bullish rally since early 2021. However, this is still below its 2021 all-time high of $0.7316, meaning there’s still room for further upside if bullish conditions persist. Interestingly, the analysis also noted that Dogecoin might extend the rally above the $1 threshold. Particularly, the second price target is at $1.25711, although this may seem far-fetched in the short term.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently showing signs of entering one of its strongest bullish phases yet, with an analyst pointing toward a rare chart formation that could trigger a powerful upside rally. According to technical analysis, Dogecoin may be on its way to hitting new all-time highs, with $0.8 marked as the next bullish target.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Rockets Past $119K, Analysts Now Eye $130K Target Analyst Doubles Down On Bold Dogecoin Forecast A new analysis by Mikybull Crypto, a prominent market expert on X social media, reveals that Dogecoin has completed the critical phases of a Bump and Run reversal chart pattern—a setup that historically precedes explosive breakouts. With price action already reclaiming its trendline, the analyst has doubled down on earlier forecasts, predicting that the DOGE price could experience an explosive surge toward the $0.8 level. Sharing a price chart, Mikybull clearly highlights the textbook Bump and Run reversal, which consists of a lead-in phase, a bump phase, and a final breakout followed by a throwback to the trendline below $0.23. DOGE’s weekly price action has mirrored this chart structure, with the recent move back to retest the broken resistance now serving as a potential springboard for the next phase.  In technical terms, this “throwback” often marks the last opportunity for accumulation before the real rally begins. Mikybull, who has been closely tracking Dogecoin’s macro setup, emphasized in his X post that “the main bullish rally is about to kick off.” In an earlier update, the analyst described the upcoming bull phase as a “face-melting rally,” noting that the Bump and Run pattern is rare but extremely reliable when confirmed.  At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading slightly above $0.25, and a rally to the projected $0.8 target would represent a massive gain of approximately 220%. Such a move would propel DOGE’s price beyond its 2021 record high of $0.73, setting a fresh ATH with an additional 9.6% upside.  DOGE Breakout Structure Reinforces Rally Setup A second technical analysis by crypto market expert Unipcs on X delivers a similar bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price. His chart highlights a tightening wedge structure, where DOGE has been consolidating below long-term resistance while forming a series of higher lows. Recently, the price broke out from this compression zone, reinforcing the meme coin’s bullish narrative. Unipcs reiterated that “DOGE to $1 is a meme until it isn’t,” suggesting that this cycle could deliver the long-anticipated push toward the $1 price level. He further noted that Dogecoin looks primed for an aggressive move that could generate strong spillover effects for other major meme coins in the market.  Related Reading: Space Meets Crypto—Spacecoin Executes 1st Blockchain Transaction Beyond Earth In an earlier post, he pointed out that Dogecoin’s structure still looked bullish on the Higher Time Frame (HTF), coinciding with the FED interest rate cut and the DTCC listing of a new Dogecoin ETF in September. With Digital Asset Trusts (DATs) and institutional players already accumulating, the analyst maintains a strong bullish stance on the meme coin’s price outlook.  Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin and XRP have both made strong attempts to reclaim resistance levels in recent days. Bitcoin has broken above the $120,000 price level. XRP, on the other hand, hasn’t found it as easy to establish a firm breakout, although it has pushed as high as $3.10 in the past 24 hours. Technical analysis points to possible short-term price gains if resistance levels holds, but it also outlines a scenario where both Bitcoin and XRP could face another round of declines in the coming week. Related Reading: Space Meets Crypto—Spacecoin Executes 1st Blockchain Transaction Beyond Earth XRP’s Struggle Against The Downtrend Technical analysis of XRP’s daily candlestick timeframe chart, which was posted on the social media platform X by a crypto analyst called Guy on the Earth, shows that XRP’s price action in the past 48 hours is pushing above a downtrend resistance, with the top of its consolidation rectangle at $3.12 now in focus.  The analyst noted that the cryptocurrency narrowly missed this target during its latest surge, stalling at $3.10 before slipping back to $3. However, XRP has so far managed to retest and find support on the downtrend line, which suggests there is still a chance for continuation higher. However, the analyst noted that the rally could fade quickly, unless XRP can closes the week and hold above the $3.12. A drop back below $3.00 would invalidate the breakout attempt and reopen the possibility of a breakdown to the $2.72 support. The pink circle drawn on the chart below shows the risk of XRP falling back to retest the ascending trendline around $2.40 to $2.50 if $2.72 is broken. XRP Daily Price Chart: @guyontheearth Bitcoin, on the other hand, has been displaying stronger momentum. The breakout above $120,000 has been decisive, and this can be seen as a healthier technical structure compared to XRP. The Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) is also pointing higher, meaning Bitcoin could continue leading the market regardless of whether the next move is up or down. A Big Weekend Ahead For Both Bitcoin And XRP The next few days will be important for both XRP and Bitcoin. The three-day candle closes within hours, and the weekly candle will confirm the broader direction soon after. For XRP, holding above the $3.00 downtrend retest is important to maintain bullish momentum. On the other hand, Bitcoin maintaining strength above $120,000 could confirm its breakout and establish new grounds for further rallies. Failure for Bitcoin to hold above $120,000, would likely usher in another bloody phase next week, with XRP at risk of dropping back toward $2.72 or even lower. The week’s close will determine whether this rally has legs or whether the correction scenario plays out instead.

The Ethereum price has once again crossed the $4,500 threshold, trading just 9% below its all-time high of $4,946, prompting a surge of bullish predictions for the leading altcoin.  Bullish Reversal For Ethereum Price Market expert Gert van Lagen took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his insights, suggesting that the Ethereum price is currently following a “textbook” expanding diagonal pattern on its biweekly chart. As seen in the expert’s chart below, this expanding diagonal pattern is characterized by a series of rising trend lines, indicating a potential reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend.  Over the past month and a half, the Ethereum price has consolidated between $4,200 and $4,600, with a brief drop towards $3,800 on September 25th. This met significant demand, resulting in a swift recovery of the $4,000 support level.   Related Reading: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana Rally Towards All-Time Highs: Top Analysts Share Predictions By connecting the lower points of these downward movements—known as waves 2 and 4—with the upper points of waves 1, 3, and 5, a triangular or diagonal shape emerges.  According to van Lagen’s analysis, this pattern signifies a shift in momentum for the Ethereum price from bearish to bullish, often leading to a significant upward breakout. Bitcoin (BTC) led the market recovery also approaching record levels above $120,000. Van Lagen noted that Ethereum’s Wave v is nearing completion, supported by a final corrective a-b-c wave. Specifically, Wave a has successfully broken above the crucial resistance level of $3,650, retested it for support in the b wave, and is now poised for the final impulse in wave c, aiming for an ambitious target range of $9,000 to $18,000. The Path Forward For ETH Adding to the optimistic sentiment, market analyst Mr. Wall Street has expressed a similarly bullish outlook, asserting that the Ethereum price is on track to reach its final price target for this cycle, estimated between $7,000 and $8,000.  However, both analysts agree that Ethereum’s ability to surpass its previous record near the $5,000 mark will be pivotal as this level is expected to act as a significant resistance barrier should the current recovery continue. Related Reading: Rumble At The Core: How Tether Plans To Dominate The US Stablecoin Market Looking ahead, market analyst Michael van de Poppe has also weighed in, predicting that the coming weeks will see Bitcoin experience an upward bounce before undergoing a slight correction.  Following this, he anticipates the Ethereum price will begin to gain momentum. “Given that the BTC pair is currently holding up well and has undergone a standard correction, I believe we will see Ethereum pick up steam in the near future,” van de Poppe stated.

Tether, the powerhouse behind the world’s largest stablecoin by trading volume, USDT, has unveiled a strategic plan to expand its presence in the US market, a landscape that has evolved significantly under the Trump administration.  With the recent enactment of the GENIUS Act, which establishes a new regulatory framework for stablecoins and cryptocurrency firms issuing dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies, Tether is eager to capitalize on these developments. Tether’s US Market Comeback In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, reaffirmed the firm’s plans to launch a new token, USAT, designed to comply with US regulations. Central to Tether’s strategy is its partnership with Rumble, a growing video platform with a substantial user base.  Related Reading: Did Bitcoin Top? Top Trader Warns Of Brutal $98,000 Liquidity Sweep Notably, Tether holds a 48% stake in Rumble, following a notable $775 million investment in the company made in 2024. Ardoino emphasized the significance of Rumble’s 51 million monthly active users, stating, “That is already a huge amount of users if you compare to what the competition has now in the United States.” The US stablecoin market includes Circle (CRCL), the issuer of the second-largest dollar-pegged cryptocurrency, USD Coin (USDC), and a host of new entrants in the stablecoin arena.  The Trump administration has prioritized the growth of privately issued stablecoins, particularly through the GENIUS Act, which aims to create a supportive environment for issuers.  Tether, having faced scrutiny in the past—including a $41 million fine for allegedly misrepresenting its reserves—has recently made a concerted effort to re-establish its foothold in the US market.  Aiming For $500 Billion Valuation With a profit of $4.9 billion recorded in the second quarter of the year, Tether has strategically invested its reserves in cash-like assets, including US Treasuries, generating significant interest income.  The company’s recent ventures also extend into various industries, encompassing artificial intelligence (AI), energy, and commodities. Ardoino outlined that Rumble’s upcoming crypto wallet will play a crucial role not only for USAT but also for Tether’s tokenized gold product. Rumble’s CEO, Chris Pavlovski, echoed Ardoino’s sentiments, stating that the partnership embodies the principles of free speech and decentralized finance (DeFi).  “Rumble represents free speech just as Tether’s cryptocurrency and a decentralized internet represent true liberty,” he noted, highlighting the shared vision that unites the two companies. Related Reading: XRP Flips Green For First Time Since 2017, Pundit Predicts 500% Rally Additionally, Tether is seeking to raise up to $20 billion for a 3% stake, potentially valuing the company at around $500 billion. Ardoino described this valuation as a bargain, although he did not provide detailed calculations.  Should this fundraising effort succeed, Tether plans to allocate part of the proceeds towards developing an artificial intelligence platform designed to function on low-cost smartphones in emerging markets, particularly in Africa and South America. Tether’s CEO also mentioned the creation of an offline, artificial intelligence-powered language translation application as part of this initiative.

Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, has ignited a notable recovery in the broader cryptocurrency market, recording a 5% gain during Wednesday’s trading session to recover the $117,000 mark.  This momentum has positively impacted major altcoins, including Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Binance Coin (BNB), which have seen average increases of around 3% in what may signal the onset of a new altcoin season. Crypto Prices Surge Amidst US Government Shutdown The surge in crypto prices coincided with political developments as the US Senate’s failure to pass a temporary funding bill resulted in a government shutdown shortly after midnight on Wednesday. Related Reading: Did Bitcoin Top? Top Trader Warns Of Brutal $98,000 Liquidity Sweep Such uncertainty often leads investors to seek alternatives to the US dollar, and cryptocurrencies are increasingly viewed as a hedge against economic instability. On Wednesday, the dollar remained stable against a basket of other currencies, further bolstering the appeal of digital assets. Historically, October has been a favorable month for Bitcoin, with the cryptocurrency finishing in positive territory 10 out of the past 12 years. Joel Kruger from LMAX Group also noted that Q4 has consistently been the strongest seasonal period for cryptocurrencies, adding to the bullish sentiment. However, not all analysts share the same optimistic outlook.  Extended Bull Cycle For Bitcoin? Ash Crypto expressed caution, suggesting that the current rally might be a precursor to a more significant downturn, predicting a potential drop that could see Bitcoin retrace to around $106,000 and Ethereum to near $3,800.  This anticipated correction, he argues, could liquidate overly optimistic positions, particularly among retail investors. He forecasts that this phase of uncertainty could persist until mid-October, potentially leading to a market rebound when bearish sentiment peaks. Related Reading: XRP Flips Green For First Time Since 2017, Pundit Predicts 500% Rally Conversely, Lark Davis has indicated a more bullish long-term perspective, suggesting that the current cycle may extend well into 2026 rather than peaking in the fourth quarter of the year as traditionally expected.  The general sentiment remains that if the market can navigate through the short-term fluctuations, a substantial rally could occur, potentially driving Bitcoin to prices between $150,000 and $180,000, with Ethereum reaching between $8,000 and $12,000.  According to Davis, such a scenario, in which could result in a major 53% and 200% for BTC and ETH respectively, could catalyze a significant altcoin season, with some assets potentially increasing in value by 10 to 50 times within just a few months. When writing, Bitcoin trades at $117,130, further posting gains of nearly 8% on the monthly time frame. This positions the market’s leading cryptocurrency just 5.7% below its all-time high, currently at $124,100, Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to navigate a phase of consolidation, hovering just above $113,000, leaving investors uncertain about the BTC’s next move. This uncertainty has led one analyst, known for accurately predicting BTC’s trajectory during this cycle, to suggest that a new bear market may be closer than many investors anticipate. Bear Market Warning In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the analyst, who goes by the name Doctor Profit, expressed ongoing confidence in his bearish outlook. Since adopting a negative stance in August, he has maintained that Bitcoin is likely to reach the $90,000 to $94,000 range.  While he initially expected this target to be hit this month, he noted that the price has spent an average of 77% of the time below his short position entry point of $115,500. This has reinforced his belief in the validity of his analysis. Related Reading: Solana Gaining Ground On Ethereum: These Key Metrics Show Colossal Growth Doctor Profit emphasized that the critical test for BTC involves the $90,000 to $94,000 range. He predicts that not only will this level be tested, but there is a strong possibility that Bitcoin could break below it, effectively signaling the end of the current bull market.  While the probability of a bear market is alarmingly high, Doctor Profit insists that confirmation hinges on how Bitcoin reacts within this key price band. He clarified that reaching this target does not need to happen immediately, nor does a temporary bounce back to $116,000 or $117,000 invalidate his bearish thesis.  The analyst views any upward price movements, such as the mid-September surge to $117,800, as mere opportunities to enter short positions at more favorable levels, instead of being signals of a new bullish catalyst. 4 Key Indicators For The Bitcoin Price Analytics platform CryptoQuant has identified four critical indicators to watch based on on-chain data. Notably, Tether’s USDT market cap has seen a substantial increase of $10 billion over the past 60 days, signaling fresh liquidity entering the market, which is typically a positive sign during bullish phases. Moreover, the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) RSI currently sits at 21, which indicates a “buy” signal. This metric assesses the buying power of stablecoins in relation to Bitcoin’s market cap.  Related Reading: Ethereum Founder Dumps Billions In These Meme Coins, Is This A Repeat Of Shiba Inu In 2021? Additionally, the number of accumulator addresses, which are wallets that have made multiple purchases of the leading cryptocurrency without selling, has reached an all-time high of 298,000 BTC. Conversely, the Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse (IFP), which tracks Bitcoin flows between spot and derivatives exchanges, is currently trending downward—an indicator commonly associated with bearish market conditions.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

The Bitcoin price opened Monday with a slight recovery, reclaiming the $113,000 mark after a dip that brought the price down to $109,000—a level that has proven to be significant support for the top cryptocurrency. Despite this temporary bounce, one expert warns of further challenges ahead for bullish investors. Warns Of Further Bitcoin Price Drops  In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Doctor Profit expressed confidence in his market analysis, indicating that BTC is on track to reach his projected target range between $90,000 to $94,000, meaning an additional 20% drop for the Bitcoin price.  He posited that the cryptocurrency is poised to move toward a new short-term downside target at approximately $106,000. According to his assessment, a minor bounce in this area could attract additional liquidity before the market potentially moves lower. Related Reading: Everyone’s Wrong About XRP: Here’s Why, Says Top Analyst Doctor Profit also paints a bleak picture of the broader economic landscape, highlighting troubling signs such as Japan’s 10-Year Bond Yield reaching its highest level since the Global Financial Crisis.  He notes that the repo-to-reserves ratio is approaching 99%, a metric that hints at funding stress and margin strain, leading to forced selling. While he acknowledges that a surge in liquidity from central banks could provide a bullish pivot, he remains skeptical given the current market conditions. The analyst also referenced a range of indicators and charts he has shared since August, emphasizing that many key market charts, including the Dow Jones, are at significant resistance levels, some of which have formed over a century.  He pointed out the record levels of alleged insider selling witnessed in recent weeks, alongside a surge in retail investor inflows, suggesting a disconnect between retail enthusiasm and the actions of larger players in the market. October Could Signal Recovery  In contrast to Doctor Profit’s cautious stance, market expert Timothy Peterson offers a more optimistic outlook for the Bitcoin price trajectory in the months to come. Peterson believes that October could bring a positive shift for Bitcoin, drawing on historical trends and current market dynamics.  Related Reading: Ethereum Outflows Hit Spot Exchanges Again: Bullish Signal Or Neutral Flows? As recently reported by NewsBTC, Peterson has outlined two potential bullish scenarios that he believes remain for the cryptocurrency: one forecasting a rise to as high as $240,000, while another more conservative estimate suggests a surge to $160,000. As the month of September draws to a close, Doctor Profit’s prediction that Bitcoin would trade below $100,000 could still play out. With only a 9% decline needed to breach the $100,000 threshold, the outlook remains uncertain. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Ethereum is undergoing one of the most significant resets in over a year, caused by its price breaking below $4,000. This retest has been most visible in futures open interest, where billions of dollars in positions have been wiped out across major exchanges. This rapid unwinding comes as a correction move to weeks of excessive leverage during uptrends that had pushed derivatives activity to unsustainable levels. Related Reading: When Will XRP Reach $25? Bitcoin Investor Shares A Bold Prediction Massive Open Interest Wipeout Across Major Exchanges The most recent Ethereum price correction was a broader market reset rather than a mere dip, with leveraged traders facing the brunt of the losses. Data shows that Ethereum’s open interest experienced a steep downfall over the just concluded week across multiple crypto exchanges. According to data from on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, billions worth of Ethereum positions were wiped out last week, with Binance leading the downturn with the steepest monthly average drop.  Ethereum’s slide under the $4,000 mark proved to be the breaking point for over-leveraged traders. The move unleashed a wave of liquidations across derivatives markets, compounding selling pressure.  Data shows that more than $3 billion was erased on September 23 through Binance alone, followed by over $1 billion just a day later. Bybit also shed $1.2 billion in positions, while OKX recorded a $580 million decline. The sharp reduction is visible in aggregate open interest, which has slumped to its lowest level since early 2024.  As the chart data shows, futures leverage and open interest were closely tied to the price rally in July and August, and at the same time, it declined in lockstep with the price.  Ethereum Open Interest by exchange Spot Ethereum ETF Outflows Add To Market Strain Ethereum’s break below $4,000 and the decline in open interest coincides with a week of heavy outflows from spot Ethereum ETFs in the United States. According to data from Farside Investors, $795.56 million flowed out over five trading days last week, which is the largest weekly exodus since the products launched.  The sell-off intensified toward the end of the week, with Thursday recording $251.2 million in outflows, followed by another $248.4 million on Friday. Waning institutinal participation contributed massively to the sell-side pressure, with investors showing caution amid uncertainty over whether regulators will allow staking features in these ETFs. This synchronized exit from both derivatives and institutional products has amplified volatility, creating a convergence of pressure across Ethereum’s trading ecosystem.

At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,002. Despite this attempt to regain stability, the leading altcoin is still down by about 10% in a weekly timeframe, considering it was trading around $4,490 this time last week. The bullish scenario now lies in whether ETH can reclaim and sustain a move above $4,000. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The crypto market faced in recent months, as both Bitcoin and Ethereum broke below important support levels. Bitcoin broke below $110,000, while Ethereum also slipped under $4,000. This downturn triggered billions in liquidations and pushed the Fear and Greed Index into fear territory. However, data from on-chain analytics platform Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) reveals that accumulation is quietly underway. Despite the price declines, exchange outflows for both assets have remained strongly negative. Related Reading: XRP Eyeing Explosive Move In Next Few Months, Research Shows Key Weekly Metrics An extended decline carried over from the previous week saw the Bitcoin price falling below $110,000 with increasing selling pressure and liquidations of leveraged positions. However, despite this sharp move to the downside, on-chain data illustrates an interesting different trend occurring beneath the surface of the volatility. According to figures provided by the on-chain analytics platform Sentora, more than $5.75 billion worth of BTC flowed out of centralized exchanges over the course of the week. This outflow, although small compared to periods of strong bullish action, shows a lingering investor conviction, especially among some investors that might be taking advantage and buying the dip.  Ethereum’s price movement over the same period was even more pronounced than that of Bitcoin. The price crash saw the leading altcoin break down beneath the psychologically significant $4,000 support level and proceed to briefly test lower zones around $3,850. Still, despite the depth of this decline, the exchange flow data makes it clear that the bearish price action did not manage to deter accumulation activity across the network. Over $3.08 billion worth of ETH exited exchanges during the week, which serves as evidence of a continued willingness among investors to steadily accumulate Ethereum, even in the face of short-term losses and market pressure. Despite negative price performance, exchange outflows remained strong for both ETH and BTC, indicating accumulation across the market pic.twitter.com/eAqZTk6Vof — Sentora (previously IntoTheBlock) (@SentoraHQ) September 26, 2025 Outflows Drive Exchange Balances To Multi-Year Lows Interestingly, Ethereum last week’s outflows ties into a notable trend that has been developing in recent months. Data shows that Ethereum’s total supply on exchanges has dropped to just 14.8 million ETH, its lowest level since 2016. Much of this supply has been redirected into staking, long-term cold storage, and DeFi protocols, which have all led to a drastic decline in the ETH on trading platforms. ETH balance on exchanges. Source: Glassnode Data from a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor CryptoOnchain adds further weight to this trend of heavy outflows. Between August and September 2025, Ethereum’s 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) netflow dropped below -40,000 ETH per day, the lowest level seen since February 2023. This persistent negative netflow shows that investors have been steadily shifting their ETH away from exchanges and placing it into staking, cold storage, or other long-term holding options. “Lower exchange balances equals reduced short-term supply,” the analyst said.

Dogecoin’s price action is working on a rebound after hitting $0.222 in the past 24 hours. Zooming out into a larger timeframe shows the price structure on the weekly timeframe is pointing to an explosive breakout is in the making. Technical analysis shows that the meme coin, which has already shown it can deliver extraordinary rallies, is now sitting on a powder keg that will send it to new all-time highs. Particularly, technical projections indicate that if the current trend continues, Dogecoin could surge to $1.30. Related Reading: XRP Eyeing Explosive Move In Next Few Months, Research Shows Pattern Repetition Points To $1.3 Target The first interesting chart observation focuses on how Dogecoin rallies unfold in repeating waves of expansion. This analysis, which was posted on the social media platform X by  Kamran Asghar, shows how Dogecoin has been following a repeating structure in the weekly candlestick timeframe chart.  In late 2023, the Dogecoin price broke out of consolidation with a 300% surge, followed by another wave in 2024 that delivered a 500% rally from trendline support to resistance. Each cycle began with a bounce from the ascending white trendline shown on the weekly chart below, which has consistently acted as the backbone of Dogecoin’s long-term uptrend. Now, the pattern is setting up for what could be an 800% rally, highlighted in the green projection box on the chart below. This move, if completed, would see the Dogecoin price rallying past its current all-time high of $0.7316 and finally breaking above the $1 price level. Particularly, the projection puts Dogecoin rallying more than 800% to reach a price target around $1.30. Chart Image From X: Kamran Asghar Dogecoin Bullish Channel Still Intact Since 2021 Another technical analysis looks at a broader view of Dogecoin’s performance over the last four years. Price action on the weekly timeframe is plotted within a colored channel system, starting from the 2021 breakout, as shown in the chart below. The lower orange line has consistently acted as support, while the green midline has worked as a pivot point. Lastly, the upper blue line is serving as resistance. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading around $0.23, and this is just between the green midline and the orange support, meaning the bullish structure is still playing out. According to analyst KrissPax, who posted the technical analysis on the social media platform X, Dogecoin is still on track to keep moving to the upper band of the channel, which is marked in blue. Reaching this upper band would put the meme coin in the $0.70 to $1.00 range and retesting its all-time high in 2021. However, in this case, the first step would be to break above the green midline, which is currently around $0.4.

The cryptocurrency market is in a tense mood after Bitcoin lost important price levels this week, and investor sentiment has taken a beating. This caused the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index to plunge by 16 points in a single day, sinking to 28 yesterday, its lowest level since March. At the time of writing, the index has recovered slightly to 33, but it still in the Fear zone. This may unsettle many investors, but history shows that fearful conditions may be blessings in disguise for Bitcoin investors. Related Reading: XRP Eyeing Explosive Move In Next Few Months, Research Shows Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Drops To 28 This week has been tough for many cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin. Bitcoin, which started the week above $115,000, entered into an extended decline that saw it break below $110,000, which in turn led to liquidations of over $1 billion worth of positions across the industry. This move also saw Ethereum break below $4,000, alongside altcoins likes XRP, Solana extending to the downside. Taken together, these moves erased the cautious optimism of last week, when the index sat at a neutral level of 48. Instead, Bitcoin’s Fear and Greed Index fell to as low as 28, which is a dramatic 16 point plunge in a single day. This crash in the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index shows just how fast sentiment can reverse when important price thresholds fail to hold. However, while the fearful mood might appear to be a bearish hint, these conditions could be an opportunity for long-term traders. The Fear and Greed Index has historically been a contrarian indicator, with extreme fear levels typically appearing before significant rebounds.  Earlier in March, when the index last reached similar depths, Bitcoin was trading at a relative low around $83,000. Today, even after breaking below 30 on the index again, Bitcoin is about $27,000 higher than it was in March.  Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index. Source: Alternative.me Constructive Outlook For The Coming Weeks The broader takeaway from this sentiment shift is that the crypto market may be closer to its next recovery phase than many expect. The index’s slight rebound to 33 today from yesterday’s low of 28 shows that some traders are already positioning for a turnaround. For one, Bitcoin’s current prices could give savvy investors the chance to accumulate Bitcoin at discount prices. Bitcoin rarely sustains rallies in conditions of overwhelming greed. Instead, consolidations and corrections reset sentiment and make room for healthier growth. For instance, crypto analyst Michael Pizzino said in a post on X, that the most recent fear could be the turning point Bitcoin and crypto has been waiting for. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bullish Again? $10 Million Stock Buyback Sparks Fresh Price Hopes In this sense, the fearful environment may be setting the stage for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins to build bullish momentum once selling pressure eases.  Now, the most important thing is for the Bitcoin price to reestablish itself above $110,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $109,220. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The cryptocurrency market remains in disarray following widespread declines, yet the XRP price continues to attract the attention of analysts who maintain an optimistic outlook. One expert noted that XRP has just printed a rare and bullish setup, with multiple chart indicators aligning in support of upward momentum. XRP Price Forms Rare Multi-Layered Bullish Setup According to crypto market expert Bobby A, XRP is in a rare market position, consolidating above key historical levels while preparing for a move that could lead to new all-time highs. He noted that different indicators are aligning in support of a possible uptrend.   Related Reading: Dogecoin Bullish Again? $10 Million Stock Buyback Sparks Fresh Price Hopes In a chart shared on X social media, Bobby explained that XRP’s market capitalization has been holding above its 2018 peak for more than 300 days, an uncommon show of strength amid the recent downturn. This long consolidation above a major resistance-turned support level suggests a massive build-up of energy before the next leg higher. He argues that this base formation signals a potentially explosive move to the upside, with the next market cap targets identified at $173 billion and a peak around $727 billion. On the price front, Bobby reveals that XRP has been forming a multi-month bullish flag pattern on its charts. He labels the critical support zones as “Base Camp 1” around $1.9 and “Base Camp 2” at $2.89—both of which have been successfully defended. He further highlighted that the monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also positioning itself for one final push toward overbought territory, often a precursor to a sharp upward move. Based on his projections, XRP’s take profit zones sit between $5 and $13, levels that would mark fresh all-time highs. Bobby’s analysis highlights that XRP’s indicators are “firing on all cylinders,” with momentum across higher timeframes aligning for a potentially powerful surge. He further pointed out that Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), currently at 58.7%, is set to retrace toward the mid-to-low 40% zone soon. Such a move would enable altcoins like XRP to capture a larger market share, thereby reinforcing the likelihood of a bullish breakout. The analyst described this rare alignment as a generational setup that occurs only a few times in a decade.   Bearish Divergence Sparks Short-Term XRP Sell-Off While XRP appears to be resisting the present market downturn, not all analysts share an immediate bullish sentiment. Crypto expert JD has warned about a Bearish Divergence forming on XRP’s weekly chart—a signal that has now played out as expected.  As shown in the chart, while XRP’s price made higher highs, the RSI indicator printed lower highs, creating a textbook Bearish Divergence pattern. This divergence has already led to a sharp 27% correction from the $3.37 take profit level that JD had previously identified. According to him, many market participants are now questioning why XRP has been under pressure despite broader optimism.  Related Reading: Hyperliquid’s Days Numbered? Expert Forecasts ‘Painful Death’ JD argues that the Bearish Divergence was the clearest warning signal, and those who ignored it are now witnessing its full effect. He cautions that while XRP may still avoid a deeper breakdown into the “grey box” supply zone, the short-term trajectory remains bearish until momentum resets.  Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

A recent report from Bloomberg has unveiled a striking decline in corporate investment in crypto treasuries, highlighting a significant shift in this new trend that has considerably taken the market by storm throughout the year. Purchases by publicly traded digital-asset treasuries have plummeted dramatically, from 64,000 Bitcoin (BTC) in July to just 12,600 in August, with September’s figures currently at around 15,500. This drop represents a major 76% decrease from the fervor of early summer. Crypto Treasury Firms Valuation Sinks The broader cryptocurrency market has faced additional challenges, with Bitcoin experiencing nearly a 6% decline over the past week, exacerbated by a broader selloff characterized by sudden liquidations.  Shares in some treasuries that previously raised capital through PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) deals have seen valuations plummet, with some trading down as much as 97% below their initial issuance prices. Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) On The Brink Of A Major Breakout: 800% Rally In Sight One of the reasons behind this shift is regulatory scrutiny, with reports indicating that US authorities are now investigating “unusual trading activity” within digital-asset treasury shares ahead of their acquisitions.  Markus Thielen, head of 10x Research, alleges that there is limited transparency regarding the crypto acquisition prices of the underlying tokens and the actual share counts, particularly since many PIPE deals include warrants that complicate matters with their volatility and dilution effects. The valuations of some treasury firms, which once enjoyed high market premiums, have drastically declined, with their market value approaching the actual Bitcoin they hold.  This shift is measured by the market-cap-to-NAV (net asset value) multiple, which now reflects a concerning trend: the disconnect between stock prices and the value of Bitcoin reserves is closing. Diminished Institutional Support  As corporate buyers retreat, Bloomberg asserts that the crypto market is experiencing a “feedback loop” that diminishes institutional support. The report alleges that this absence of a stable capital source undermines demand, leading to a more precarious market environment.  The current landscape has given rise to a “two-speed market.” On one hand, derivative markets exhibit significant stress, with demand for longer-dated futures collapsing and $275 million worth of Bitcoin longs liquidated in just 24 hours.  Related Reading: Expert Prediction: Bitcoin Price Could Hit $200,000 By June 2026, Claiming 50% Probability Conversely, crypto-related products continue to attract investment, as evidenced by the iShares Bitcoin Trust exchange-traded fund (ETF), which garnered $2.5 billion in inflows in September, a substantial increase from $707 million the previous month. Jeff Dorman, chief investment officer at Arca, emphasized that the current weakness in the crypto market is likely a consequence of diminished activity from digital asset treasuries rather than a direct cause of selling pressure. The reduction of these major buyers, he contends, has created a more cautious market environment. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

The industry’s largest stablecoin issuer, Tether (USDT), is reportedly in discussions with a series of leading firms including SoftBank Group and Ark Investment Management, for a significant funding round aimed at raising between $15 billion and $20 billion.  This capital influx could potentially value the company at an astonishing $500 billion. Bloomberg News first reported these developments, indicating that Tether is exploring private placement opportunities to solidify its position in the market. SoftBank And Ark Invest’s Potential Involvement Per the report, the involvement of SoftBank and Ark could significantly enhance Tether’s credibility in the eyes of mainstream investors, particularly as the company seeks to overcome previous scrutiny regarding its role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Amidst this search for funding, Tether is also expanding its investment horizons beyond digital assets, venturing into sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), telecommunications, cloud computing, and real estate.  Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) On The Brink Of A Major Breakout: 800% Rally In Sight Adding to the momentum, Tether recently appointed Bo Hines, a former advisor to President Trump on cryptocurrency matters, as CEO of its US division.  This move aligns with Tether’s vision to establish a new operation in the US, adhering to the new regulatory environment, particularly following the introduction of a new dollar-pegged cryptocurrency aimed at businesses and institutions, dubbed “USAT.”  Tether And US Regulatory Standards As NewsBTC reported recently, the new token adheres to the regulatory framework established by the GENIUS Act, the first stablecoin legislation signed into law by President Trump, highlighting Tether’s focus on aligning with US regulatory standards. Related Reading: Expert Prediction: Bitcoin Price Could Hit $200,000 By June 2026, Claiming 50% Probability Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, noted that the firm’s USDT stablecoin serves as a crucial financial tool for millions in emerging markets, showcasing how digital assets can foster trust, resilience, and financial freedom on a global scale.

Crypto markets have recently faced renewed challenges, despite a brief resurgence following the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) rate cut that initially propelled Bitcoin (BTC) back toward the $120,000 mark.  This week, however, Bitcoin has dropped to the lower end of its established consolidation range, fluctuating between $110,000 and $115,000. Analysts from The Bull Theory have pinpointed several factors contributing to this downturn. How Fed Policies And QT Are Impacting Crypto One of the primary reasons for the current situation is the ongoing capital flow favoring traditional assets. In the wake of rate cuts, institutional investors tend to channel their funds into stocks and gold first, as these are considered high-liquidity assets with a proven track record.  In contrast, cryptocurrencies, particularly altcoins, often find themselves at the end of the liquidity pipeline. They typically see price increases only when risk appetite broadens significantly among investors. Related Reading: Tether Targets $500 Billion Valuation In New Equity Offering Amid US Expansion Plans Additionally, liquidity remains tight in the crypto space, despite the Fed’s recent actions. While the central bank cut rates in September, other variables are restricting the flow of capital into cryptocurrencies.  Quantitative tightening (QT) is still being implemented, with the Fed actively reducing its balance sheet. Moreover, the US Treasury is absorbing liquidity through the replenishment of the Treasury General Account (TGA), and money market funds are currently holding over $7.7 trillion in cash that remains largely idle.  This lack of liquidity means that any spillover effect into the crypto market will be limited, resulting in a slower rotation of capital into digital assets. Cyclical Trends Suggest Potential Rebound The macroeconomic patterns observed in September 2024 are also reemerging. Last year, following a rate cut, Bitcoin surged past $60,000, while Ethereum (ETH) and other altcoins enjoyed significant gains. However, this was followed by a sharp decline, with Bitcoin dropping 11% and Ethereum experiencing an even steeper fall.  In a similar vein, this September has seen Bitcoin hover around $112,000 after briefly touching $118,000, while Ethereum has slipped from $4,600 to approximately $4.1,00.  This cyclical pattern suggests that crypto may be primed for a rebound, but only after a period of consolidation and confirmation. Moreover, the impending expiry of options contracts for Bitcoin and Ethereum is adding another layer of volatility to the market.  Stablecoin Movement And Institutional Inflows Another factor impacting the market is the supply and velocity of stablecoins. While the total supply of stablecoins has surged from $204 billion in January to $308 billion in September—an all-time high—the velocity of these assets is not keeping pace.  The analysts have identified that much of this capital remains inactive, either sitting idle, bridged, or utilized off-exchange. Until stablecoin velocity increases, the price impact on cryptocurrencies is likely to remain subdued.

Notably, following the Nasdaq’s all-time highs, Bitcoin surged by an impressive 46% in the same 90-day timeframe. For crypto markets to regain their momentum, active movement of stablecoins is essential, along with a cooling off of derivatives trading and substantial purchases from institutional investors and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin by market capitalization and trading volume, USDT, is reportedly seeking to raise between $15 billion and $20 billion through a private placement, potentially elevating the company’s valuation to around $500 billion.  As recent reports highlighted on Tuesday, this ambitious financial maneuver could position Tether alongside some of the most prominent private enterprises, including OpenAI, which was valued at $300 billion during its recent fundraising round. Tether Explores Fundraising Options The transaction would reportedly involve offering new equity rather than existing shareholders selling their stakes. Sources familiar with the situation told Bloomberg that discussions are still in the preliminary stages, meaning the specifics of the deal, including the total amount raised, could evolve over time.

Despite facing scrutiny in the past, including accusations of being a preferred currency among criminals, Tether is now focusing on expanding its presence in the US market. In recent months, the company has taken significant steps to enhance its operations in the United States, particularly in light of a more favorable regulatory environment under President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto policies.  New US Division And Stablecoin Earlier this month, Bitcoinist reported that the stablecoin issuer appointed President Trump’s former White House crypto advisor, Bo Hines, as CEO for its US division and launched a new dollar-pegged cryptocurrency designed for businesses and institutions, called “USAT.”  Related Reading: Why Aren’t Institutions Adopting XRP ‘Massively’? Pundit Answers This new token adheres to the regulations set out in the GENIUS Act — the country’s first stablecoin bill signed by President Trump — thereby further solidifying Tether’s commitment to compliance and growth in the American market. As Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, stated:  For over a decade, Tether – as the creator of the stablecoin industry – has issued USDT, the backbone of the digital economy, and today the US dollar stablecoin for hundreds of millions of underserved people living in emerging markets, proving that digital assets can deliver trust, resilience, and freedom on a global scale.

Bitcoin has steadied after a $1.7B leverage flush, with futures positioning reset ahead of Powell’s remarks and Friday’s core PCE.

The cryptocurrency market began the week with a notable downturn, as total sector capitalization dipped toward $3.8 trillion. Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, experienced a significant correction, trading as low as $112,700.  CoinGecko data shows that this decline had a ripple effect, causing major altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE) to register losses of 7%, 5%, 7%, and 10%, respectively. S&P 500 Rises While Crypto Market Slumps The selloff also impacted crypto-related stocks. Bitcoin investment firm Strategy (MSTR) saw a decline of 2.6%, while US-based crypto asset exchange Coinbase fell by 3.4% during afternoon trading. In contrast, the benchmark S&P 500 index managed to gain 0.4%, positioning itself for another potential all-time high. Related Reading: Ethereum Slides 6% as Bulls Lose Grip on $4,500 Resistance; $4,000 Incoming? Analysts suggest that the recent market slump can be attributed to a buildup of excess leverage following last Thursday’s Federal Reserve (Fed) decision to cut interest rates.  Adam Morgan McCarthy, head of research at Kaiko, indicated that funding rates have risen since the Fed meeting, pointing to speculative trading that may have occurred in the wake of the rate cut.  He noted that the combination of excess leverage from speculative bets and an earlier price decline triggered a wave of liquidations, further exacerbating the market downturn. Deutsche Bank Predicts Bitcoin Recovery  The Fed’s decision to lower borrowing costs by a quarter point marked its first rate cut of 2025. However, as Barron’s reported on Monday, Chair Jerome Powell characterized this move as a “risk-management cut,” implying a cautious approach rather than a wholesale easing of monetary policy. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stuck In Neutral While Markets Roar — Analyst Explains Why Despite the immediate challenges facing the cryptocurrency market, the longer-term outlook appears optimistic.
