Dogecoin fell to $0.238 after a sharp sell-off that erased gains and pushed volatility higher. According to market feeds, the coin lost 9.5% in the past 24 hours and about 8% over the week, with a sudden spike in activity that traders say caught many off guard. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is ‘Digital Capital’ That Outpaces Traditional Assets—Michael Saylor Double Top Triggers: Cause For Concern? According to analyst Merlijn The Trader, price action showed two failed attempts to push higher before sliding beneath a neckline near $0.27. That setup produced a measured move target around $0.238 — a level the market reached. Resistance sits at $0.27, and a daily close above $0.28 would weaken the bearish case. For now, traders watching the pattern see the chart as favoring downside while the price stays under the neckline. $DOGE IS FLASHING A TEXTBOOK DOUBLE TOP. Bearish retest locked. Target sits at $0.238. Don’t confuse noise with signal. The chart is already telling the truth. pic.twitter.com/GJ32G2kniw — Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) September 21, 2025 Retest Keeps Bull Case Alive Other analysts have a different read, pointing out a completed retest of a long running descending trendline that had capped rallies for months. The breakout above that line was followed by a pullback into a $0.24–$0.25 zone where support showed up. If the memecoin holds above that base, momentum could push toward $0.30, with further upside possible to $0.32–$0.35 — levels the token traded at earlier this year. On-Chain Data And Market Activity Reports have disclosed on-chain measures that add context to the price swings. Market Value to Realized Value, or MVRV, has climbed but is still below the highs seen in prior tops, a point raised by some analysts. DOGE has traded mostly between $0.20 and $0.25 since 2023, which some see as a steady base rather than a blow-off top. Trading numbers underline the heat. Market cap sits near $36 billion while 24-hour volume surged to about $4.7 billion — up 180%. Circulating supply is steady at 151.04 billion DOGE, and the volume-to-market-cap ratio sits at 13.04%, a sign of unusually aggressive activity from both large holders and retail traders.

Based on market commentary from Ali Martinez, regaining the $0.27–$0.28 band could spark a quick push toward $0.45, with interim targets at $0.39. Martinez points to the brief breakout above $0.27 as a bullish signal, even if it did not hold for long. For many traders, ETF expectations are the catalyst that would turn near-term weakness into renewed rallies. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Ethereum’s institutional narrative is strengthening as US-based Spot ETF trackers witnessed another week of inflows last week. BlackRock’s ETHA fund captured the majority of this activity with more than half a billion dollars in new investments, while other ETFs struggled with minor outflows. At the same time, technical patterns are aligning with this buying pressure, which has given many analysts confidence that the Ethereum price could be preparing to push towards its all-time high in the coming weeks. Related Reading: Is XRP Ready For Its Most Powerful Rally Yet? Analysts See $20 Ahead Ethereum ETFs Register Second Consecutive Inflow Week Last week was another positive week for Spot Ethereum ETFs. Across all issuers in the US, Spot Ethereum ETFs added $556.92 million in inflows during the week, making it the second consecutive week of positive institutional inflows. Cumulative inflows since launch are now over $13.9 billion, and these ETFs now hold $29.64 billion worth of Ethereum. Interestingly, data from Farside Investor’s Spot ETF tracker reveal that the majority of last week’s institutional inflows went into BlackRock’s ETHA. The inflow numbers show that BlackRock’s ETHA product absorbed roughly $513 million in net inflows between September 15 and 19. The largest portion came on Monday with over $360 million, followed by another $140 million inflow as the week drew to a close on Friday, which was enough to offset corresponding outflows from every other issuer that day. This shows how investors continue to favor BlackRock’s offering as the primary gateway for regulated Ethereum exposure. Other issuers experienced a more mixed week. Fidelity’s FETH product posted sharp redemptions, most notably $53.4 million in outflows on Friday, September 19. However, these outflows were partially balanced by $159.4 million in inflows on Thursday. Bitwise and Grayscale also witnessed days of inflows, which was enough to cancel out minor outflows during the week. Spot Ethereum ETF Flows: Farside Investors Technical Analysis Points To $5,000 Another week of institutional inflow could set the stage for bullish price action in the new week, which in turn would certify a bullish monthly close for Ethereum in September. In fact, analyses from different analysts have looked at multiple bullish patterns forming across different timeframes on the Ethereum price chart. One particularly notable observation came from VasilyTrader on the TradingView platform, who highlighted encouraging signals on Ethereum’s shorter-term charts. His analysis of the 4-hour candlestick timeframe suggested that the recent pullback has now given way to a bullish confirmation. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is ‘Digital Capital’ That Outpaces Traditional Assets—Michael Saylor He identified a clear double bottom pattern that formed early last week, which was followed by a breakout from a falling wedge formation by Friday’s close. Based on these developments, VasilyTrader set his next price target at no less than $4,741. Chart Image From TradingView: VasilyTrader At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,485. According to crypto analyst Daan Crypto Trades, ETH is still on track to reach $5,000 as long as it holds above $4,400. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
XRP grabbed fresh attention after two well-known chart analysts outlined bullish setups that could push the token much higher if the current momentum holds. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is ‘Digital Capital’ That Outpaces Traditional Assets—Michael Saylor According to Javon Marks and Ali Martinez, technical signs are lining up for a possible strong move, but traders are watching whether key resistance levels give way. Analysts See Breakout Potential Trader Javon Marks posted a chart showing what he called a large accumulation pattern. Based on his view, XRP could climb by 226% to reach $9.90, and if that zone is cleared the path to $20 could open. $XRP is a BUY, according to the TD Sequential! pic.twitter.com/fY7GTgXEB0 — Ali (@ali_charts) September 20, 2025 Marks compared today’s price structure to prior long swings that led to sharp gains after extended sideways periods. Based on reports from Martinez, the TD Sequential on the four-hour chart flashed a buy signal. That indicator is used by many traders to spot when a trend may stop and reverse. Martinez said recent consolidation improved the odds for buyers, and that the shorter-term trend now favors upward movement. Both analysts emphasized patterns and indicators rather than a fixed timetable for any rally. Institutional Moves Add Liquidity Reports have disclosed that the first US spot XRP ETF began trading this week, a development many see as a sign of growing institutional access. At the same time, the CME Group has plans to launch futures options for XRP and Solana, which could bring more professional traders and deeper liquidity. $XRP looks to be preparing here for ANOTHER +226% SURGE TO $9.90+ and a break above could send it towards $20 and higher! pic.twitter.com/ia5jJOcdkp — JAVON⚡️MARKS (@JavonTM1) September 19, 2025 Tokenized fund plans on the XRP Ledger have also surfaced; those funds would trade like tokens and give investors regulated exposure with faster settlement, according to sources. Market reaction has been cautious. XRP has been holding above $3, but price action slowed as it neared resistance. Traders are now watching whether the token can push beyond the next supply zone or retreat back into consolidation. XRP market cap currently at $178 billion. Chart: TradingView Related Reading: From $2 Trillion To $400T? CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x – Here’s More Carbon Market Could Create Demand Meanwhile, there is a separate line of discussion that links XRP to tokenized carbon credits. Based on a Precedence Research projection cited in reports, the carbon credit market could expand from about $933 billion in 2025 to more than $16 trillion by 2034. Other research pointed to the carbon offsets segment being around $1.06 trillion in 2023 and possibly rising past $3 trillion by 2032. If tokenization of credits gains scale, those working on market plumbing say fast, low-cost rails could be useful. The XRP Ledger is reported to be carbon neutral, which supporters argue could make it an attractive option for moving tokenized credits. Still, this is a hypothetical demand case and no clear model ties that potential directly to a specific XRP price level. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
BitMine Immersion Technologies has added nearly $70 million worth of Ethereum to its holdings, pushing the company’s ETH stash to a value near $8.66 billion. Related Reading: From $2 Trillion To $400T? CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x – Here’s More Based on reports, the purchases were made through Galaxy Digital’s over-the-counter desk and arrived in several chunks rather than a single block. Purchase Broken Into Four Tranches The recent buys were split into four settlements: 3,247 ETH ($14.50 million), 3,258 ETH ($14.6 million), 4,494 ETH ($20 million), and 4,428 ETH ($19.75 million). That totals about 15,427 ETH, which sums to roughly $69 million at the prices reported. According to public trackers cited in the coverage, these were likely coordinated OTC trades designed to avoid moving the spot market. TOM LEE IS BUYING EVEN MORE $ETH Tom Lee’s Bitmine just bought another $69M of ETH from Galaxy Digital. They now hold $8.66 BILLION of ETH.$BMNR is bullish on $ETH. pic.twitter.com/t9BWh9btPR — Arkham (@arkham) September 19, 2025 How Much Of Ethereum Does BitMine Hold Reports have disclosed that BitMine now holds about 1.95 million ETH. That holding is valued at about $8.66 billion using the same pricing used in the coverage. Analysts tracking corporate treasuries say that corporate and institutional ETH reserves together amount to a few percent of circulating supply, and BitMine is listed among the largest single holders. The figures can look large when compared with total ETH supply, but the share depends on which supply measure is used — circulating, staked, or otherwise locked. Market Mechanics Behind The Move Buying large amounts on OTC desks is common for public companies and big players. It reduces slippage and keeps big orders off public order books. The ETH here moved without obvious price spikes. Some transfers were visible on chain; the private terms of OTC trades usually remain confidential. Based on reports citing blockchain trackers like Arkham, the on-chain flows matched the size and timing described. Risk, Accounting And Strategy Holding vast amounts of a volatile token carries real risks. A sharp fall in ETH would hit BitMine’s balance sheet. At the same time, steady accumulation signals a clear strategic bet on future appreciation. Market observers compare this approach to other firms that hold crypto as part of their corporate treasury, and regulators and accountants will watch how such holdings are reported in quarterly filings. Related Reading: Backed By CZ, Aster Token Ignites With 1,650% First-Day Rally Corporate Accumulation Goes Big Some details remain unclear. Reports cite Arkham and Strategic Ether Reserve as the primary sources, but OTC trades do not reveal full pricing details and the exact terms are often private. Because those settlements happen off-exchange, public records show transfers but not every pricing details. Large holders’ activity tends to attract extra attention when ETH moves sharply up or down. Based on these numbers, the move is one more sign of large corporate accumulation of ETH. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Jack Mallers, co-founder and CEO of Twenty One Capital, told NYSE TV that he expects Bitcoin to climb much higher from current levels. Related Reading: FalconX Moves 413K Solana Worth $98M – Impact On SOL Price According to Mallers, the size of global wealth available for savings gives Bitcoin room to grow in a big way. He made the bold remark that Bitcoin could be “100 to 200 times from here,” and his firm’s buying behavior appears to follow that view. Analyst’s 200x Bitcoin Claim According to Mallers, total global wealth across assets like stocks, property, gold and art is about $900 trillion. He argued roughly $400–500 trillion of that is used mainly as savings. Right now, Mallers said, Bitcoin’s market value sits near $2 trillion. At the price cited in reports — about $115,570 per coin — he sees a path for dramatic expansion if Bitcoin captures only a slice of that savings market. Jack Mallers says, “#Bitcoin will 200x from here.” “Bitcoin is going after a $400-500 trillion market, and it’s only $2 trillion.” pic.twitter.com/urpR8HelFO — Maestro (@GoMaestroOrg) September 16, 2025 Twenty One Capital’s Buying Strategy Reports have disclosed that since April, Twenty One Capital has acquired 43,514 BTC, a haul worth roughly $5 billion at current prices. The firm has backing from players such as Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank, and it plans to merge with SPAC Cantor Equity Partners to pursue a public listing. Mallers’ team has been buying aggressively, and the stash already exceeded the firm’s initial target by about 1,500 BTC. How Other Big Names See Bitcoin Several high-profile figures have also made bullish calls, and their forecasts are often cited alongside Mallers’ views. According to public remarks, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has suggested Bitcoin could reach $700,000. Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge has said he expects Bitcoin to hit about $200,000 by the end of 2025. Bill Barhydt, CEO of Abra Global, has outlined a base-case of $350,000 and a more aggressive scenario as high as $700,000. These estimates differ in timing and method, but they share a common theme: large upside is possible if demand and adoption keep rising. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 Where Twenty One Capital Fits In Based on reports, Mallers’ firm is joining a larger group of companies that hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

Mining companies such as MARA Holdings hold about 52,477 BTC.

Ethereum rallied again this week as fresh institutional demand and heavy ETF inflows pushed traders to consider higher price paths. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to market reports, some analysts now see a possible run toward $8,500 if current buying continues and macro conditions remain calm. Institutional Flows Drive Interest Based on reports, one day of ETF inflows was reported at close to $730 million, a figure that traders said helped limit selling pressure and lift market confidence. Standard Chartered has been cited with a year-end forecast of $7,500, while other market commentators and smaller research groups have floated targets as high as $8,500. That mix of big-name bank views and crypto-focused analysis is what is feeding the talk on an extended rally. After meeting the $4,811.71 target, prices of $ETH (Ethereum) pulled back but bull signal(s) have confirmed, suggesting movement back to and above this target level! With a break above this target, we could see an additional +77% run to $8,557.68… https://t.co/sDDNVSijoi pic.twitter.com/4uPpJHDsgS — JAVON⚡️MARKS (@JavonTM1) September 15, 2025 Technical Levels And On-Chain Signals Reports have disclosed technical setups that traders are watching closely. A pivot point near $4,811 was named by some analysts as the level that needs to clear for a larger advance to become more likely. Ethereum’s recent trading band has been roughly in the $4,400–$4,600 range in many charts, which means significant upside would be required to reach the lofty targets being discussed. What Would Need To Happen For $8,500 According to market commentary, several things would have to line up. Continued ETF inflows and steady institutional accumulation are key. Also important are clearer rules for ETF products and a soft macro backdrop that keeps risk appetite intact. Some analysts add that if Bitcoin moves higher — a move to roughly $150,000 has been used in scenarios — Ethereum could gain as investors reallocate across major crypto assets. Risks That Would Halt The Rally News cautions that the $8,500 concept is built on several positive developments occurring simultaneously. Policy shifts, softer ETF demand, or a change in macro sentiment might also stop a rally in a hurry. Related Reading: Dogecoin Defies Odds, Jumps 21% Even As ETF Debut Gets Pushed Back Unless Layer 2 growth or network usage equates to increased mainnet demand, price appreciation may be capped. Regulation news in big markets also reverses flows rapidly. Meanwhile, forecasts span a broad range. Standard Chartered’s $7,500 view is on the higher side among big banks. Other companies provide more modest estimates, and smaller analysts suggest more bullish estimates up to $8,500. The disparity highlights the extent to which price targets are reliant on assumptions regarding flows, adoption, and macro considerations. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

According to a recent interview, Jake Claver, CEO of Digital Ascension Group, has pushed a strongly bullish case for XRP with aggressive price targets and a clear list of what he believes will move markets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 Claver told host Paul Barron that a mix of policy shifts and market moves could send XRP far above its current trading level just under $3. Claver’s Bold Targets Claver put forward price ranges that would surprise many watchers: $10 to $13 as a plausible near-term target and $20 to $25 as a stretch outcome by year-end. He tied the $10–$13 scenario to approval of an XRP exchange-traded fund, saying he holds 90% confidence that an ETF will be approved. Claver also linked the broader rally idea to expected interest rate cuts, arguing that lower borrowing costs would push money into risk assets. Based on reports, market participants have placed an over 96% chance on a 0.25% Fed rate cut. That probability has been widely discussed by traders and analysts as a major market trigger. Interest Rates And Market Flows Reports have disclosed that many market voices think a rate cut could stoke rallies across the crypto space. Some analysts forecast a Bitcoin run to $150,000 and Ethereum climbing to $10,000 if easing arrives. That kind of movement in the largest coins, the argument goes, tends to lift smaller tokens along with it. Claver suggested that ETF approval plus rate relief would be a clear fuel source for XRP gains. He made the point that ETFs act like a gateway for institutional cash. Holding Patterns And Liquidity Signals Meanwhile, Xaif Crypto’s data was cited to show that more than 80% of XRP’s total supply has not moved from wallets for over a year. That degree of dormancy implies many holders are keeping long positions. When so much supply is idle, available liquidity shrinks. Price swings can then become more extreme if demand rises quickly. That dynamic was suggested as another reason why a sudden move to double-digit prices could be possible once momentum builds. ????: Just listen, maxis talking… ????$XRP gonna EXPLODE in the next few years ????

XRP is trading close to $3 and has struggled to hold that level in recent sessions. According to a market analyst, a repeat of a past pattern tied to Bitcoin halvings could push XRP much higher, with a possible cycle top above $20 on Oct. 17, 2025. The timeline ties back to earlier halving cycles and a short lag that, she argues, has repeated before. Related Reading: Dogecoin Defies Odds, Jumps 21% Even As ETF Debut Gets Pushed Back Halving Dates And Follow-On Moves Based on reports, crypto expert Diana points to the 2016–2017 cycle as the clearest example. Bitcoin halved on July 9, 2016, and then reached a peak above $19,000 on Dec. 18, 2017 — 525 days later. XRP, she notes, followed with its high of $3.31 on Jan. 5, 2018, around 18 days after Bitcoin’s top. That sequence — Bitcoin first, XRP soon after — is central to her case. ???? XRP TO $15–$20? HISTORY SAYS OCT 2025 IS THE DATE ⏳???? History, math, and the end of SEC suppression all point to one window: mid-October 2025. This could be XRP’s most savage run yet — let’s break it down. ???????? pic.twitter.com/RJ6Z85b6pz — Diana (@InvestWithD) September 4, 2025 Losing Steam, Legal Pressure The pattern did not hold in the next cycle. Bitcoin halved on May 11, 2020, and then topped near $69,000 on Nov. 10, 2021, about 545 days later. XRP did not mirror that run. Reports show XRP hit $1.95 in April 2021, several months earlier than Bitcoin’s peak, after legal pressure and exchange delistings constrained its move. Diana describes that episode as a lost cycle for the token. Regulatory Clarity And Product Growth According to reports, the legal cloud around XRP eased after a July 2023 court outcome that cleared major parts of XRP’s past sales from being labeled as securities. Exchanges in the US resumed listings, and Ripple has been building out products like RLUSD and new payment corridors. Diana says those developments, together with multiple ETF filings, improve XRP’s chances this time. She puts forward three price scenarios: a modest run to $5–$7 if Bitcoin’s momentum is modest; a base case of $10–$15 assuming ETF inflows and stronger use cases; and a blow-off rally that could push XRP past $20 if big institutional liquidity arrives. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Out With A 32% Surge: Time To Buy Or Too Late To Chase? XRP Forecasts Split: $12.25 Target Vs. Modest Growth Outlook Meanwhile, Geoff Kendrick of Standard Chartered expects XRP’s rally to continue, saying the token could take on a larger role in international finance. He also points to future XRP ETFs as a catalyst that could draw more investors. Kendrick places his price target at $12.25 by 2029, which would mean a 300%+ jump from today’s $2.95 and translate into annualized returns of about 43%. That outlook, however, is far from universal. Morningstar analysts forecast the broader crypto market to grow close to 10% per year through 2034, a rate in line with historical stock market performance.

Dogecoin jumped back into the spotlight on Monday after fresh price calls from market commentators and a clear technical move on charts. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Out With A 32% Surge: Time To Buy Or Too Late To Chase? According to Ali Martinez, the meme token could head as high as $0.45, a level last seen at the end of 2021. DOGE was trading at around $0.29, more than 5% higher than it was yesterday, and traders are watching whether now-support at $0.27 holds. Technical Breakout And Volume Spike Trading activity around the breakout caught attention. Based on reports, DOGE pushed above the $0.27 zone that had capped rallies through the summer and then consolidated above it, a pattern traders view as healthy. Dogecoin $DOGE may consolidate for a bit, then expect the next leg up toward $0.45! pic.twitter.com/uynq9IF4wd — Ali (@ali_charts) September 14, 2025 The weekly chart showed a breakout from a multimonth symmetrical triangle, and trading volumes during that move more than tripled — a sign that momentum gained backing from buyers. Shorter term targets being watched include $0.39 and the $0.43–$0.45 band cited by some analysts. Triangle Target Paints A Bigger Picture Chart-based targets diverge. Using the triangle’s maximum height, some calculations put a breakout objective near $0.60, which would be about a 95% rise from current levels if reached by October. $DOGE breakout Symmetrical triangle resolved upwards! Price rising after breakout, eyeing $0.45 target! Is meme season back? pic.twitter.com/rptobViUoO — Crypto King (@CryptoKing4Ever) September 13, 2025 Other chartists have lower targets clustered around $0.45, matching the upper line of a wider multi-year triangle. These different readings mean the path higher is not universally agreed, but the technical case for a move is clear on several timeframes. Short-Term Risks And Support Levels The key risk is holding the new floor. Reports note that past Dogecoin rallies stalled when gains could not be kept above freshly conquered levels. If DOGE falls back under $0.27, momentum would likely fade and price could slide toward the prior base around $0.20–$0.25. Retail Demand And Recent Gains Retail interest has returned, helped in part by the launch of a new Dogecoin ETF, which drew fresh attention to the token. DOGE has already rallied by nearly 40% over the past seven days, outpacing the broader crypto market that rose by about 8% over the same span. Related Reading: Dogecoin Hits Multi-Month High, Veteran Trader Says It’s A Critical Progress Trading desks say the bias is tilted higher for now, but many traders are treating September as a make-or-break month for the next major move.

A Dogecoin exchange-traded fund with the ticker DOJE is set to start trading in the US on September 11, 2025. According to reports, the fund is being launched by REX-Osprey and will provide US investors a regulated way to gain exposure to DOGE without holding the coin directly. Related Reading: Altcoins Feel The Pinch As Crypto Market Sentiment Sours Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, told market watchers that the fund will hold an asset with “no utility on purpose,” and he publicly challenged supporters to point to clear real-world uses for Dogecoin beyond community interest and trading. Analyst Asks Supporters To Show Practical Uses According to Balchunas, DOJE will be the first US ETF that openly holds an asset whose backers say lacks practical functions. He pushed the community to list where DOGE is used as more than a token of speculation or culture. The Doge people (what do you call them, Doge-rs?) are objecting to my “no utility” comment. But the coin was literally started by two guys as a joke. So what’s the utility? https://t.co/6YtQPnCOTx — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) September 9, 2025 Some in the Dogecoin community pointed to limited payment tests and merchant experiments, while others emphasized the coin’s long history of publicity and social attention. Reports also note the fund is being structured under the Investment Company Act of 1940 instead of the Securities Act of 1933, a choice that has drawn extra scrutiny. Why Utility Matters For Investors Investors typically seek ways to value an asset beyond pure sentiment. Utility can mean things like payment rails, governance roles, or fuel for smart contracts — uses that create sustained demand. When those uses are limited, price moves can be driven mainly by headlines and momentum. That makes risk evaluation harder for portfolios that require steady, predictable exposures. Some market participants counter that brand recognition, liquidity, and culture can still produce buyer interest, at least while markets are favorable.

Filing under the 1940 Act instead of the 1933 Act carries different compliance and custody implications. Few ETFs have taken this exact path for a memecoin-style asset, and observers say they will watch how custody and regulatory reviews play out once trading begins. Traders and institutions may treat the fund differently because of the structure and the questions raised over utility. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
