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

The Elon Musk-owned X social media platform has gone public with claims that a bribery network tried to pay its staff to bring back suspended crypto accounts. According to the company, middlemen acted on behalf of banned users, offering money to insiders in hopes of overturning account suspensions tied to scams and market abuse. Related Reading: From $2 Trillion To $400T? CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x – Here’s More Bribery Network And Methods Based on the company posts and follow-up reporting, the scheme did not involve direct contact between banned users and staff.

These perpetrators exploit social… — Global Government Affairs (@GlobalAffairs) September 19, 2025 The Scale And The Links Law enforcement and platform teams are now looking into how broad the effort went. X’s Global Government Affairs team said it had identified multiple attempts, but did not list names or say how many staff were approached or whether any account was actually restored because of payments. Reports also connect the scheme to other online spaces; investigators say similar tactics have been used against other social services and gaming communities. Legal Action And Internal Review Based on reports, X has opened legal proceedings against people tied to the network and is working with outside authorities to share evidence. The GGA also says it will step up internal checks and audits to reduce the chance of employee collusion. At this stage, public filings or indictments have not been posted; the investigations are ongoing. Numbers And Context The platform has said it suspended hundreds of millions of abusive accounts in recent months — a figure some posts put at 335 million — as it moved to curb scams and bad actors on the site. Broader industry reports also note large losses from crypto phishing and fraud in recent periods, though those totals come from different compilations and are not tied directly to the bribery ring described by X.

SpaceX's bitcoin holdings surpassed $1 billion as the cryptocurrency surged to hit a new all-time high on Wednesday.
The partnership aims to use Grok’s AI to analyze real-world events for Kalshi’s regulated prediction markets.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX has raised eyebrows in the crypto community, following the transfer of its Bitcoin holdings for the first time in three years. This has raised concerns about the possibility of the company looking to offload its coins. Elon Musk’s SpaceX Transfers Bitcoin Holdings To A Fresh Address In an X post, onchain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence revealed that Elon Musk’s SpaceX just moved Bitcoin for the first time in three years. The company sent 1,300 BTC ($153 million) to a fresh address this morning. Arkham then questioned whether this transfer was simply a move to cycle custody wallets or a plan to sell. Related Reading: The Final Bitcoin Act: Here’s What To Expect As BTC Trends Sideways SpaceX transferred the funds to an unknown wallet (bc1q8….phartf), which suggests that this move is just for custody purposes rather than to sell them. Notably, the last time Elon Musk’s company moved some of its Bitcoin holdings was to Coinbase, three years ago, which was more of an indication to sell than this recent transfer. There is a possibility that Elon Musk’s SpaceX would have likely moved this $153 million to Coinbase again, rather than to a new address, if it intended to offload these coins. Arkham data shows that the coins in the fresh address remain untouched following the transfer. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the company still holds 6,977 BTC ($827.41 million) in its recognized wallets. SpaceX first disclosed its Bitcoin holdings in 2021. This was around the same time that Elon Musk’s Tesla also announced it had purchased Bitcoin and was exploring the possibility of accepting BTC as a payment option. Arkham data shows that Tesla 11,509 BTC, worth around $1.37 billion. Tesla hasn’t moved any of its coins in the last nine months. Meanwhile, the company also ranks as the 10th largest public Bitcoin treasury, according to BitcoinTreasuries’ data. Musk’s Belief In Bitcoin Is Growing Elon Musk’s belief in Bitcoin’s potential as a hedge looks to be growing, which again makes it unlikely that SpaceX is looking to offload its coins with its recent transfer. Earlier this month, the world’s richest man confirmed that his America Party will embrace Bitcoin as “fiat is hopeless.” He made this comment amid the passing of the Big Beautiful Bill, which increases government spending and is bullish for BTC since it has a limited supply compared to the dollar. Related Reading: Hold On For Dear Life: This Bullish Bitcoin Metric Just Touched A 15-Year High Elon Musk had also allegedly liked a comment made by a crypto community member about the world’s richest man possibly stacking Bitcoin, given the government’s impending money printing. This suggests that Musk may indeed be looking to invest heavily in Bitcoin. BTC maximalist Max Keiser also opined that Musk would soon be a maximalist himself. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $18,600, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
Following the latest transaction, SpaceX currently holds 6,977 BTC, worth $825 million, according to Arkham
A sudden social media jab sent Solana’s Peanut the Squirrel token soaring this week. In a Tuesday post, billionaire Elon Musk criticized US authorities for ignoring names on the Jeffrey Epstein “client list”, quipping that “more squirrels and raccoons have been arrested” than any Epstein affiliates. Related Reading: XRP Could Hit $35 If It Captures A Quarter Of Remittance Market By 2029 A nod to a squirrel named Peanut—said to have been “arrested (and killed)”—coincided with a sharp pop in the PNUT token’s value. According to on‑chain data, PNUT climbed over 10% in 24 hours, touching $0.23 at one point. Elon Musk Highlights Justice Concerns Based on reports, Musk’s post racked up more than 13.7 million views within hours. Traders quickly linked “Peanut” to the PNUT ticker. Almost immediately, PNUT price rose from about $0.22 to $0.23. Peanut price up in the last 24 hours. Source: Coingecko The token’s 24‑hour trading volume jumped roughly 80%, crossing $215 million. Market watchers estimate PNUT’s market cap now sits near $224 million, out of a total supply approaching 1 billion tokens. Market Reaction Follows Viral Meme Meme tokens often depend on hype, and PNUT was no exception. After Musk’s message spread, order books filled fast. Buy orders outnumbered sells, driving price momentum. Crypto bots and retail traders piled in, hoping to catch the wave. Some investors told reporters they moved funds into PNUT within minutes of seeing Musk’s post. They arrested (and killed) Peanut, but have not even tried to file charges against anyone on the Epstein client list. Government is deeply broken. pic.twitter.com/YndRadQUBE — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 8, 2025 Token Jump Drives Trading Frenzy Solana’s speedy network helped too. Transactions cleared in seconds, letting traders react without delay. That low‑fee environment amplifies meme coin rallies: when hype hits, people can buy or sell without worrying about high gas costs. In this case, volume spiked from around $120 million to $214 million in under a day. Related Reading: 2% Of All XRP Is In His Hands — But Who Is He? Looking Ahead, Caution Advised Despite the rush, crypto veterans warn that PNUT’s gains could reverse just as fast. Meme tokens lack fundamentals, and hype fades quickly. Traders could face losses if views shift or if Musk moves on to the next joke. For now, Musk’s satirical jab has put Peanut the Squirrel on center stage. Whether PNUT can hold its gains may depend on more viral moments—and on whether investors remember to take profits before the next twist. No ‘Client List’ Meanwhile, according to a memo obtained by Axios, the Justice Department and FBI under US President Donald Trump found no evidence that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful individuals, kept a “client list,” or was murdered.

A sudden slide in Bitcoin’s dollar value rattled traders this week after US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk tangled in public comments. The drop was sharp, and it raised questions about whether BTC can keep its upward momentum. According to market data, prices dipped quickly before finding a floor, leaving some investors on edge while others looked to on-chain figures for clues. Related Reading: Elon Musk ‘Will Do Anything’ To Make XRP King, Tech Mogul Says Exchange Reserves Slip Based on reports from CryptoQuant, the amount of Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges fell from 2,435,600 BTC to 2,365,400 BTC over seven days. That’s a nearly 3% decline. When coins leave exchanges it often means people want to hold them in private wallets. Fewer coins available to sell can tighten supply. In turn, that may help prices recover. Realized Cap Hits New High According to the same data, Bitcoin’s Realized Capitalization recently hit $935 billion. It’s the highest level on record. Realized Cap tracks the value of all coins at the price when they last moved on-chain. A rising number shows fresh capital flowing into Bitcoin. It suggests both small traders and large institutions are still betting on BTC’s long-term value. Netflow Shows Accumulation Based on the flow of deposits and withdrawals, Bitcoin’s netflow has been negative. That means more coins have left exchanges than have been deposited. Withdrawals beat deposits in trading volume. In simple terms, holders aren’t looking to sell right now. It’s a classic sign that buyers outnumber sellers—at least in the on-chain arena. UTXO Bands Point To Holder Confidence CryptoQuant’s UTXO Value Bands also reveal growing activity across multiple coin-age groups. UTXO stands for Unspent Transaction Outputs. It measures the age and value of coins that haven’t moved. When you see more coins in older bands and steady movement in newer ones, it tells you a variety of investors—from long-term holders to recent buyers—are staying active. That pattern tends to shore up market support. Related Reading: Blank Pi Network Wallets Spark Outcry—What’s The Network Hiding? Looking Ahead Even if Bitcoin’s price can swing wildly day to day, these on-chain signals hint at solid backing underneath. Less supply on exchanges, a record realized cap of $934.88 billion, ongoing negative netflow and rising UTXO activity all point toward patient investors holding their ground. Short-term dips may still occur, especially when big names trade barbs on social media. But for many in the market, the long-term story remains intact.

Based on reports, a long-dormant Bitcoin whale made a surprise move this week, snapping up 250 BTC for about $26.37 million. It’s the first time this wallet has shown activity in two years. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Hit $180,000 In 2025? Analyst Highlights The Trigger The purchase has stirred talk among traders and on-chain analysts alike. Some see it as a sign that big players are getting ready for more action in the weeks ahead. Whale Returns After Two Years According to Lookonchain data, the same whale pulled 500 BTC out of Gemini back in 2022 when Bitcoin was trading near $27,400, a move worth nearly $14 million at the time. Now, with BTC hovering around $105,000, the whale’s holdings sit on an unrealized gain of over $39 million. That kind of profit margin grabs attention. Other large holders often watch these moves closely. They wonder if this is the start of a wider trend or just one wallet’s play. A whale that had been dormant for 2 years bought another 250 $BTC($26.37M) 9 hours ago. 2 years ago, this whale withdrew 500 $BTC($13.7M) from Gemini at $27,401, now sitting on an unrealized profit of $39M.https://t.co/c0U92isSfc pic.twitter.com/vcb4V3M0Uz — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) June 8, 2025 Big Gains On Early Bet Early adopters have seen massive upside in Bitcoin over the years. This whale’s 2022 withdrawal came just before a multi-year price boom. Since then, Bitcoin has climbed nearly 300%. Not everyone can make moves like that. Small investors often feel left behind when a wallet this size shifts coins. Still, some traders say it can create a ripple of optimism. When big holders buy, retail traders sometimes pile in, chasing the same gains. Technical Indicators Show Mixed Signals On the charts, BTC seems to be shaping an inverse cup-and-handle pattern with a significant neckline at $100,800 serving as major support. The price has fallen into the handle stage, and a dip below $100,800 could propel Bitcoin to $91,000, which coincides with its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA). Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) is 52, indicating the bullish momentum is fading. A fall below 50 could introduce additional selling pressure. For the bulls to regain control, BTC must recapture the 20-day EMA resistance, which is just above $105,000.

Bitcoin prices have returned above $105,000 in the past 24 hours following a sharp price decline on Thursday triggered by macroeconomic pressures. Notably, US President Donald Trump and former political ally Elon Musk had engaged in a public spat which spiked the volatility in a crypto market already undergoing a corrective phase. Amidst some level of renewed stability in the last two days, popular analytics firm Glassnode has now shared an important on-chain analysis highlighting the presently key price levels in the Bitcoin market. Related Reading: Can Bitcoin Price Bounce To $120,000 Or Will It Break Below $100,000? Bitcoin Ready For Breakout As Traders Eye $114K And $83K Levels In an X post on June 7, Glassnode provides an insight on potential Bitcoin price action using the Short-Term Holder (STH) cost basis model, derived from the Work of Cost (WOC) price framework. As the name implies, the STH cost basis represents the average purchased price of all coins belonging to short-term holders i.e. investors who acquired their Bitcoin within the last 155 days. The STH cost basis is an important market metric as it reflects the risk appetite of newer market participants who are typically the most reactive to price change. It is also a strong indicator of market sentiment with an ability to act as resistance or support depending on the price direction. According to the data by Glassnode, the current Bitcoin STH cost basis is estimated at $97,100. Using standard deviation bands in this WOC model, Glassnode has further identified the $114,800 price level as the +1STD level of this cost basis and a potentially heated market zone. Considering Bitcoin’s price, this $114,800 price zone represents the next major resistance, a break above which is expected to trigger a massive buying pressure and push the premier cryptocurrency further into uncharted price territory. Glassnode’s WOC model also identifies the -1STD level at $83,200 to represent a critical support zone in the present bullish structure. A decisive price fall below this level would signal market weakness and is likely to cause a cascade of liquidations and further price corrections. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says This Bitcoin Top Signal Hasn’t Gone Off Yet — What To Know Bitcoin Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $105,745 reflecting a 1.07% gain in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume is down by 34.27% and valued at $38.66 billion. Provided Bitcoin continues to consolidate above the STH cost basis at $97,100, there is a valid chance for a market bullish push towards resistance at $114,800. However, a loss of the critical support at $97,100 would points to a retest at $83,200 which holds strong potential bearish consequences. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview
Bitcoin saw a sharp price dip on Thursday amidst a public fallout between US President Donald Trump and the world’s richest man Elon Musk. The premier cryptocurrency, which had traded steadily within the $104,000–$106,000 range throughout the week, plunged to below $101,000 as tensions escalated between the two influential figures who attacked each other via their personally owned social media platforms i.e. X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social. Since then, Bitcoin has shown some market resilience climbing back to around $104,000. With another consolidation developing, market analyst Crypto Daan has highlighted the price levels that are critical to the next price breakout. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sees Largest Net Taker Volume Drop Of 2025 – Traders React To Trump-Elon Clash Beyond $106K Or Below $100K – What’s Next For Bitcoin? The month of May proved largely bullish for Bitcoin as the digital asset surged from around $95,000 to establish a new all-time high near $112,000 marking the resumption of the larger crypto bull market. However, Bitcoin has noted a significant price correction since reaching this peak with market prices pegged around $104,000 on May 31. As seen in the first week of June, Bitcoin had hovered around $106,000 before its most recent price slump on Thursday. Due to this price action, Daan Crypto notes the digital asset is now trading within a price range of $100,000-$106,000, where it comfortably sits at the mid-range around $104,000. The analyst notes that if Bitcoin returns break below the lower range boundary at $100,000, the ongoing price correction could extend for 1-2 weeks. Going by BTC’s stairwell ascent in the past month, potential market support in such a bearish case would lie around $95,000 and $85,000. On the other hand, if the market bulls can force a return above the monthly high of $106,000, Daan Crypto explains that such development would indicate the market correction is over, and Bitcoin may be headed for another price discovery with potential initial targets of around $120,000. Related Reading: XRP Wave Structure Predicts Wild Fluctuations On Its Way To $4 ATH BTC Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $104,650 following a price gain of 2.98% in the past day. Using larger time frames , the premier cryptocurrency is up by 1.12% on its weekly chart and 7.49% on the monthly chart indicating a strong bullish control of the market. Interestingly, the Relative Strength Index on the daily chart stands at 51.53 facing upward which supports the notion that Bitcoin’s correction might be over with price eyeing a return to the overbought zone above 70. With a market cap of $2.07 trillion, Bitcoin continues to rank as the world’s largest cryptocurrency and fifth largest asset in the world. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview
The Bitcoin market was recently subject to a significant price dip as a public feud between US President Donald Trump and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, on Thursday negatively impacted the US financial markets. During this period, the premier cryptocurrency crashed by an estimated 5% from $106,000 to trade below $101,000. Interestingly, despite the short-term volatility, several key technical indicators now point to a potentially bullish setup. In fact, this latest pullback appears to complete a series of signals that historically precede major price rallies. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sees Negative Funding On Binance – A Classic Setup For A Short Squeeze? Bitcoin Set For Price Surge, First Target At $130,000 In an X post on June 6, a market expert with X username CrypFlow shares a bullish Bitcoin prediction amidst an ongoing price correction. Aside from sharp price decline in the past week, the BTC market has witnessed a steady price correction since the premier cryptocurrency achieved a new-all time high of $111,970 on May 22. However, CrypFlow states that this price retracement alongside a host of other technical indicators suggest that Bitcoin is setting to repeat its price rally from Q4 2024. The first indicator observed by the analyst in the chart above is the golden cross which occurs when the 50-day simple moving average (50SMA) crosses above the 200-day simple moving average (200SMA) in early June 2025. The golden cross is a common bullish indicator that signals a shift in market momentum and was last seen in November 2024. Furthermore, there is a Bitcoin price breakout above a long-standing purple downward trendline that originated in December 2024. This breakout also mirrors another move seen in early November 2024, when BTC breached the descending resistance that began in March 2024. The ongoing price correction represents the final indicator as Bitcoin also suffered an estimated 10% price fall in November falling from $74,500 to $68,500 before initially an explosive price rally. CrypFlow’s analysis suggests that if Bitcoin is repeating its price rally from Q4 2024, the premier cryptocurrency could produce a 62% price gain translating into potential targets around $170,000. However, the analyst has set a more conservative initial price target of $130,000, representing a 25% gain from current market levels.

According to social media buzz, the growing clash between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump has sent ripples through the crypto world. Musk’s public swipe at a recent spending bill kicked things off. Then came Trump’s warning to yank Musk’s government contracts. It got messy fast. And now, some believe XRP could come out on top. Related Reading: Bitcoin Network Activity Booming Despite A Quiet Market—Data Elon Musk-Trump Feud Spurs Crypto Talk Musk took to Twitter on June 4 to slam what he called reckless government spending. His post warned of “serious economic risks.” Not long after, Trump fired back. He threatened to pull subsidies and contracts tied to Tesla. That response sent Tesla’s stock tumbling. Investors watched $150 billion in market value vanish in a matter of hours. Market Moves And Price Swings Based on reports, Bitcoin slid more than 5% following the news. It dropped to a low of $100,550 before finding a bit of footing near $102,400. XRP wasn’t spared either. It fell alongside other major coins, though the exact drop varied across exchanges. Traders saw quick declines, then a modest rebound as the dust settled. I believe @elonmusk will do anything to make @Ripple $XRP as a chosen one and use it on @x while knowing that @EricTrump, @DonaldJTrumpJr, and @realDonaldTrump will watch @worldlibertyfi and @bitcoin crashing in front of their eyes. Right, @elonmusk? — Joshua Dalton (@J9Dalton) June 5, 2025 XRP Community Weighs In Joshua Dalton, who founded tech services firm TRIBLU, stirred the pot with a bold claim. He suggested Musk might choose XRP as the main currency for X’s upcoming payment system, X Money. Dalton argued that Musk “will do anything” to make XRP the go-to token. He tagged Ripple, Musk, US President Trump, and Trump’s sons in a single post. That move framed the drama as more than just politics—it became a showdown of crypto loyalties. Technical Fit For X Money XRP provides quicker settlement and reduced fees than Bitcoin. In 2021, Musk suspended BTC payments for Tesla due to high energy consumption and centralized mining concerns. That move proved he’s not afraid to change course when a coin isn’t aligned with his objectives. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Hit $180,000 In 2025? Analyst Highlights The Trigger In October 2024, Musk even referenced XRP in a viral video. He spoke of crypto like XRP potentially resisting central control, but he did not go so far as to make a full endorsement. With X Money scheduled to roll out later in 2025, XRP’s architecture for cross-border transfers could mirror what Musk is looking to create. Some analysts point out real hurdles. Ripple still holds a large chunk of XRP, and US regulators are watching closely. Any big move would need legal green lights and deep liquidity on exchanges. But for now, the idea of an “everything app” powered by XRP keeps popping up in crypto chats. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView
Amid the Trump-Musk online feud, Bitcoin (BTC) has hovered within the mid-and-low areas of its local price range, hitting a one-month low near the $100,000 support. However, some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is preparing for the “real” price jump toward a new all-time high (ATH) Related Reading: SUI Rally At Risk? Analysts Warn Of 30% Dip If This Level Doesn’t Hold Bitcoin Prepares For ‘Real Breakout’ Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin experienced significant volatility fueled by the online feud between US President Donald Trump and Tesla and X owner Elon Musk. The flagship crypto’s price took a beating on Thursday afternoon after dropping by over 5% from the $105,000 level to the $100,000 support. Before the pullback, BTC had been attempting to reclaim its local mid-range area after its recent performance. Notably, the cryptocurrency traded sideways following its ATH rally to $111,980, hovering between the $106,800 and $109,700 price range. However, the cryptocurrency lost the key $106,800 support amid last week’s market retracement, which saw Bitcoin drop to $102,000 over the weekend. Since then, BTC has been attempting to reclaim the current levels. After yesterday’s drop, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has surged 4.5%, climbing above the $104,000 level. Crypto trader Coinvo highlighted BTC’s one-year chart, pointing to the similarly looking price action between 2024 and 2025. According to the chart, Bitcoin recorded its first major pump after reclaiming its yearly opening level, consolidating within its new range for weeks before climbing to its Q1 2024 ATH. This year, the cryptocurrency has had a similar performance, although delayed, having reclaimed the yearly opening range and surging to the first major price surge in May. Similarly, analyst Alex Clay suggested that Bitcoin is preparing for the “real breakout” following its retests of the range’s mid-zone resistance in Q1 2025 and a “false” breakout last month. To the analyst, “We grabbed the liquidity below the Broken Supply Zone. Now looking for a Real Breakout” toward the $120,000 mark. BTC Price To Range For Two Weeks? The Cryptonomist noted that Bitcoin displays a 3-week bullish falling wedge formation, with the lower boundary sitting around the $101,000 level. Following the recent price drop, BTC bounced from that area, and could break out of the pattern if it reclaims the $105,000 barrier as support, targeting the $118,000-$120,000 levels. Meanwhile, market watcher Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that its price now trades at the mid-range again, near the Monthly opening price. To the trader, “it’s pretty safe to assume that these range high/lows are good triggers for whatever larger trend follows,” as BTC has been having a “relatively large move early in the month.” As he previously explained, Bitcoin tends to set its monthly high or low during the first week of the month, followed by a reversal in the opposite direction and a trend continuation until a new month begins. Based on this, he warned that if the price drops below yesterday’s lows, it will continue to trend down for another week or two, displaying “weakness and confirming a larger correction is due.” Related Reading: Ethereum Eyes 15% Move Amid Key Resistance Retest – Breakout Or Rejection Next? Nonetheless, if price surges above the monthly highs, around the $106,700 mark, “the correction is more likely to be over and there’s a good likelihood that we head to all-time highs and beyond.” “Good chance we range around this area for a while, though, without any of these levels breaking,” he concluded. As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $104,224, a 2.6% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Data shows the cryptocurrency sector has seen a large amount of liquidations following the volatility that Bitcoin and others have gone through in the past day.

Below is a chart that shows how the recent price action has looked for the number one digital asset. As is visible in the graph, the Bitcoin price first went down to a low of $100,400 from a high around $105,800 and then witnessed a recovery run back to $104,100. The coin is still overall down during the past day, but its loss stands at less than 2%. The other cryptocurrencies haven’t been so lucky, as their prices haven’t quite retraced to the same degree. Ethereum is still down almost 6% and Dogecoin about 7%. The volatile storm in the sector has come following a public feud between US President Donald Trump and Tesla founder Elon Musk. The spat began when the former said in an Oval Office meeting that he was ‘disappointed’ in the latter over his criticism of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Musk had previously called the bill a ‘disgusting abomination.’ The two let sparks fly on social media, with the SpaceX founder even accusing the President of being in the Epstein files. “That is the real reason they have not been made public,” said Musk in an X post. Crypto Liquidations Have Neared A Billion With all the volatility that has gripped Bitcoin and company during the past day, it’s only to be expected that the derivatives market would feel the impact. According to data from CoinGlass, a mass amount of liquidations have piled up on the various centralized exchanges. “Liquidation” here naturally refers to the forceful closure that any open contract has to go through if it amasses losses of a certain percentage. As displayed in the table, the cryptocurrency market has seen liquidations amounting to a whopping $970 million over the last 24 hours. Out of these, a staggering $854 million, representing 88% of the total, came from the long investors alone. This is naturally down to the fact that prices as a whole have gone down during this window. Related Reading: Solana’s Old Hands Are Moving—Is Trouble Brewing?
