According to market watchers, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs posted a $520 million inflow on Tuesday, a sharp change after a mild $1.15 million inflow the day before and a recent week that saw $1.22 billion in withdrawals. Related Reading: XRP Has Held Its Ground As Most Altcoins Fall, Market Observers Say That swing in flows is being watched closely because inflows into ETFs have in the past helped drive big price climbs. Right now Bitcoin trades around $104,000, and some analysts say a jump toward $160,000–$170,000 is possible if buying pressure keeps building. Diminishing Golden Curves Hint At Lower Peaks Based on reports from CryptoCon, a model called diminishing golden curves maps price bands using logarithmic regression. The model tracks how far Bitcoin moves above a “Golden Curve” growth path and labels those moves with deviation levels. The next target for #Bitcoin is between $160,000 and $170,000 ???? pic.twitter.com/QAd3RdDS8q — Bitcoin Teddy (@Bitcoin_Teddy) November 12, 2025 Past cycle tops landed at +5 in November 2013, +4 in December 2017, and +3 in November 2021. CryptoCon’s projection now places the next top near the +2 band, which translates to a range between $160,000 and $170,000, with a possible swing toward $186,000. If that plays out, Bitcoin would climb about 70% from current levels near $104,000. Halving Rhythm Still In Play Reports show the chart also uses halving-based sine waves. Since the last halving occurred in April 2024, the model expects a market peak in late 2025, a timing that matches the rough 12–18 month pattern seen after previous halvings. That rhythm has been a simple guide for many traders. It is not a guarantee, but it helps explain why analysts are paying attention to late 2025 as a possible climax point. Stablecoin And Exchange Reserves Add Weight On-chain signals add more detail. The stablecoin supply ratio has fallen to levels that historically lined up with market lows, suggesting there is dry powder waiting on the sidelines. Data from Binance shows stablecoin reserves rising while Bitcoin reserves on the exchange fall — a mix often read as accumulation by long-term holders. CryptoQuant analyst Moreno says liquidity is increasing and volatility is low, which can make the risk-reward seem attractive to buyers. Related Reading: Dogecoin Alert!

The Bitcoin market spent the week caught between confidence and caution, and ETF flows captured that tension.

The sharp reversal was a snapshot of how […]

According to market reports, crypto analyst Crypto Patel has put forward bold targets for Dogecoin, saying the memecoin could reach $2 and $5 this cycle. Related Reading: XRP Has Held Its Ground As Most Altcoins Fall, Market Observers Say At the time of his post, DOGE was trading around $0.17, making those estimates equal to roughly 1,076% and over 2,800% gains from that level. The call has drawn attention because it ties price hopes to repeating chart behavior rather than fresh fundamentals. Chart Patterns And Historical Runs According to the analyst’s charts, DOGE has formed a long-running descending triangle since its $0.75 peak in 2021. Traders are being shown a breakout followed by a retest pattern. Reports point to similar setups in past rallies: in 2017 DOGE moved from about $0.00022 to $0.019 — roughly 9,800% — and in 2021 it climbed from about $0.0025 to $0.75, a surge of over 32,000%. Those runs are the basis for the “fractal confluence” argument that history could repeat. DOGECOIN READY FOR ITS NEXT HISTORIC MEGA RUN ???? Breakout ✅ Retest ✅ Structure locked and loaded for a parabolic explosion! The same pattern that sent $DOGE flying in 2017, 2021 is repeating again on the monthly timeframe and this time, the move looks even more powerful.… pic.twitter.com/yZIFHthnm5 — Crypto Patel (@CryptoPatel) November 11, 2025 A Recent Breakout, Retest Highlighted As Trigger Based on reports, DOGE cleared the triangle in December 2024 during a US President Donald Trump-led crypto market boom, pushing above $0.48. The coin then came back to test the former trendline, which some traders call a normal step after a breakout. Other analysts have flagged similarities between today’s action and the token’s early bull runs, and some see that as confirmation for more upside. Short-Term Indicators Looking Up Technical numbers show a nearer-term forecast of a rise of 13.51% to $0.2002 by December 12, 2025. Current readings described by data providers list sentiment as Bearish and the Fear & Greed Index at 20 (Fear). Over the last 30 days DOGE had 13/30 (43%) green days and about 6.71% price volatility. Those numbers suggest that, for now, traders remain cautious even as longer-term charts are cited as bullish. Bitwise DOGE ETF Reports note that Bitwise moved forward with a DOGE ETF filing under Section 8(a) using CF Benchmarks’ settlement price, an action that could draw institutional interest if it progresses. Related Reading: XRP’s Next ‘Face-Melting’ Rally Could Hit Within 6 Weeks—Analyst Meanwhile, on-chain snapshots indicate that large holders are trimming supply, while retail activity has ticked up and some momentum indicators have turned higher. According to Bitwise, its fund would use the CF DOGE-Dollar Settlement Price from CF Benchmarks to calculate net asset value, which provides transparent, rules-based pricing across venues. If approved, this structure could make DOGE more accessible to institutions needing a regulated vehicle, potentially boosting order book depth and easing inflows or outflows. This increased access, combined with clearer pricing, could explain the recent movements in the market value of DOGE. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView

Some analysts expect XRP to climb sharply from its current price of $2.39. According to posts on X by a popular analyst known as Egrag Crypto, the coin is trading at the bottom of a descending triangle and could stage a strong rally in the coming weeks. Related Reading: Could Shiba Inu Triple? Analyst Sees 200% Move Coming Analysts Point To Historical Setups According to Egrag, two earlier runs give the pattern some weight. He compared the present chart to moves in 2017 and 2021. Back then, XRP went from $0.097 to $3.84 across a roughly three-month span around 2017–2018. In 2021, it rose from below $0.45 to above $1.90 in two monthly candles. Based on those moves, he expects a comeback within four to six weeks and projects gains of about 300% to 1,400% from today’s price. #XRP – ⚔️ Weakness? Or Just Testing the Faith of Bulls? ???? Lately, I’ve seen many #XRP Bulls turning #Bearish ????, frustrated by the sideways chop and the boring price action.

And that’s fine , protecting profits is smart,” he added. Other market voices have echoed parts of that view, reposting Egrag’s chart and wrote that XRP is “busy testing bulls’ faith.” ETF Filing Moves Forward Meanwhile, according to filings and reporting, Canary Capital has taken a key step toward launching a spot XRP ETF in the US. The firm filed a Form 8-A, a move that, once Nasdaq signs off, would let the fund list its shares. Crypto reporter Eleanor Terrett said the filing will become effective at 5:30 p.m. ET once Nasdaq certifies it, and trading is set to start when US markets open on Thursday, November 14, 2025. That development matters because an ETF can make an asset easier for many investors to buy. It does not mean prices will automatically skyrocket. It does mean more attention, and that can change market behavior in ways that are hard to predict. ????NEW: @CanaryFunds has filed its Form 8-A. This is the final step before it goes effective at 5:30 PM ET Wednesday once the Nasdaq certifies the listing. When that happens, the last hurdle is cleared and the first $XRP spot ETF will be set to launch Thursday at market open. pic.twitter.com/mXvkrrXbiJ — Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) November 11, 2025 Short-Term Data And Market Tone At press time, XRP was trading around $2.39, down about 3% over the last 24 hours. Technical traders focus on where the price sits inside the triangle pattern and watch volume for confirmation of a breakout. Related Reading: XRP ETF Canary Takes Flight: 8-A Filing Clears Path To Nasdaq Listing Some see the structure as a setup for a large move either way. Others point out that the market environment today is not the same as in 2017 or 2021, given bigger trading volumes and different regulatory factors. The ETF timing adds a new element to watch. If Nasdaq approves Canary Capital’s Form 8-A as reported, the first spot XRP shares could start trading on Thursday. Markets often react to such milestones, but how big that reaction will be is unknown. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView
A successful ETF launch could expand XRP’s liquidity base and potentially trigger inflows from registered investment advisers who may have avoided direct crypto exposure beyond bitcoin.
Canary Capital filed formal paperwork on Monday that could let an XRP-backed ETF start trading on Nasdaq within days. According to the filing, Canary submitted a Form 8-A to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on November 10, 2025, a move that registers the fund’s shares under the Exchange Act and begins a regulatory clock that can lead to a listing if no objections are raised. Related Reading: Could Shiba Inu Triple? Analyst Sees 200% Move Coming Nasdaq Listing Moves Into Final Steps Based on reports, the shares are expected to trade under the ticker XRPC once Nasdaq completes its listing approval and the regulatory waiting period runs its course. The S-1 prospectus filed earlier says the trust’s shares are expected to be listed for trading subject to notice of issuance on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Market players say a key legal mechanism is now in motion. Canary removed a delaying amendment from its S-1, which triggers a 20-day countdown to automatic effectiveness unless the SEC acts. That change has led some issuers to target a November 13 listing date, though final sign-off by Nasdaq and any SEC comments could shift that plan. CEO Steven McClurg at Canary Capital on XRPETF.. #XRP pic.twitter.com/2UnDKdvc4R — RIZ.. ???????? ???????? (@RizXRP) November 10, 2025 Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg said the XRP ETF could potentially double the gains Solana saw in its first week. He pointed to strong interest in XRP, reflected in its market capitalization and trading activity. Fund Details And Fees Reports have disclosed some of the fund’s basic terms. The Canary product lists a management fee of 0.50% and names custodians that are already familiar in crypto ETF work, including Gemini Trust Company and BitGo Trust Company. The trust also names US Bank as the cash custodian and US Bancorp Fund Services in an administrative role, according to market write-ups. The background numbers help frame the potential scale. According to earlier SEC filings, as of October 8, 2025, the aggregate market value of XRP was about $173 billion, which placed XRP among the top five digital assets by market cap at that date. That size is one reason multiple issuers have pushed to bring XRP into ETF wrappers. At the time of writing, XRP’s market cap stood at a little over $146 billion.

Bitcoin-focused ETFs recorded their largest single-day outflow since August, pulling a combined $558 million from the market as prices hovered near $102,000. Data from SoSoValue shows the move pushed some big funds into the red for the day and sent fresh signals that traders are rebalancing after recent gains. Related Reading: Get Ready — The End Of November Will Be Massive For XRP, CEO Says Fidelity And Ark Lead Outflows Fidelity’s FBTC saw the biggest withdrawal at $256 million. Ark Invest And 21Shares’ ARKB followed with $144 million in redemptions, a record relative to that fund’s size. BlackRock’s IBIT also recorded $131 million of outflows, marking the seventh day of net withdrawals in eight trading sessions. At the same time, reports show JPMorgan boosted its stake in BlackRock’s ETF by 64%, bringing its holding to 5.28 million shares valued at $343 million as of September 30. The bank also held $68 million in call options and $133 million in put positions on the same date. Market Participants Trim Positions While Some Add Based on reports, the big daily outflow looks less like a crash and more like position shifting. Some managers appear to be taking profits. Others are quietly adding exposure, which helps explain why prices held roughly steady despite the redemptions. Traders watching ETF flows say the moves reflect growing macro uncertainty rather than a complete loss of faith in Bitcoin. Whale Selling And Long-Term Holders Cashing Out On-chain trackers show that long-dormant wallets are moving large amounts. Sales in the $100 million to $500 million range have been logged from addresses that had been still for years. K33 Research flagged that 319,000 BTC that had been held for six to 12 months moved into profit-taking. The firm also reported that “mega whales” sold roughly $45 billion worth of Bitcoin in the past month. Analysts describe this as a major, organized exit by early holders. Price Holds Inside Key Range As Moving Averages Cap Gains Bitcoin has been trading in a tight band. Reports place a demand block between $100K–$102K and a resistance cluster near $114K. The 100-day and 200-day moving averages are above current prices and acted as overhead resistance. A recent rejection around the 100-day MA near $110K led to a quick retest of the roughly $101K support, which some traders interpret as a liquidity sweep.

According to comments made at the Ripple Swell conference, Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg said the XRP Ledger is lining up as a set of financial rails that could rival legacy systems on Wall Street. Related Reading: ‘Good News’ Finally Arrives For SHIB Army As Team Unveils New Update He argued the ledger’s payment features make it a practical tool for moving money across borders. His remarks come as several big fund managers update filings for potential XRP exchange-traded funds, and as traders watch for approvals that may arrive as soon as mid-November. XRP Ledger Framed As Payment Rails McClurg drew on his background as an emerging-market bond manager when he pointed to high remittance costs as a clear problem. Workers often pay between 8% and 15% to send money home, he said. Blockchain rails like the XRPL can cut those fees, the CEO added, and that use case is part of why he believes institutional interest will grow. He also repeated a prediction he has made before: that XRP ETFs could see $10 billion in inflows in their first month if they launch with strong backing.

A competitor to Wall Street” pic.twitter.com/KlAaOQPDpl — Vet ????☠️ (@Vet_X0) November 4, 2025 ETF Filings Gain Momentum Meanwhile, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Canary Capital have updated S-1 filings tied to XRP funds. Franklin removed an 8(a) clause from its S-1, a change that reduces a procedural reason for delay. Grayscale has filed a second amendment and has named key executives and counsel on its paperwork. Market participants say these moves suggest managers are preparing for a possible rollout in November, though SEC timing still matters. Payments Utility Versus Investment Structure McClurg argued that XRP’s role as a payments token gives it a different profile from assets that rely on staking. He suggested ETF holders would not face the tradeoff of missing staking yields, which has affected some Ethereum products. That claim is used to explain why an XRP ETF might attract distinct flows, rather than simply following the path of prior crypto funds. Ecosystem Bets And Industry Players Ripple has pushed XRPL-focused products such as RLUSD and institutional services under the Ripple Prime brand. Reports mention partnerships with GTreasury and Rail to boost clearing and custody capabilities. Those efforts are designed to make XRPL more useful for banks and large treasuries that need predictable settlement and custody options.

BlackRock will list an iShares Bitcoin ETF on the Australian Securities Exchange in mid-November 2025, according to public filings and market reports. Related Reading: Bitcoin May Be This Week’s Big Story As Saylor Teases Fresh Buy The product will be a local wrapper around BlackRock’s US iShares Bitcoin Trust — a vehicle that launched in January 2024 and now manages about $85 billion. Based on reports, the new ASX ticker will charge a management fee of 0.39% per year. BlackRock Brings IBIT To ASX The move aims to give Australian investors an easier way to gain exposure to bitcoin through a familiar exchange-listed product. Reports have disclosed that investors who buy the ASX ETF will not hold bitcoin in a private wallet; they will have exposure through the ETF’s structure. That means price swings in bitcoin still apply. It also means custody and technical handling are managed by the fund rather than each investor. What Investors Should Know The fee of 0.39% is competitive when compared with many retail crypto services, but traders and long-term holders will want to check how closely the ETF tracks bitcoin’s price and what trading spreads look like on the ASX. According to filings, the ASX listing will use the US trust as the underlying asset, which raises questions about cross-market flows and the mechanics of how units are created and cancelled. Liquidity on the local exchange, and how market makers support the product, will shape how cheaply investors can enter and exit positions. Market Implications For Australia BlackRock’s entry could prompt other asset managers to list similar products in Australia. Based on reports, the launch follows a wave of spot bitcoin ETF approvals and listings in other markets since early 2024. For retail investors who avoided direct crypto custody, an ETF on the ASX removes some of the operational hurdles. But it does not remove market risk: bitcoin’s price can move sharply. Regulators in Australia have already been refining rules around crypto products, and the presence of a major global manager will put those rules under closer scrutiny. Competition And Risks Smaller providers offering bitcoin exposure through different structures may face tougher competition on fees and access. Reports have also highlighted potential downsides: an ETF wrapper can add a layer of cost and complexity, and investors may misunderstand the difference between owning the underlying asset and owning ETF units. Related Reading: ‘Good News’ Finally Arrives For SHIB Army As Team Unveils New Update Custody arrangements, insurance, and how the trust sources and stores bitcoin are items that advisers and sophisticated buyers will examine. According to market watchers, the timing — mid-November 2025 — matters.

For many Australians, this will be a new, regulated route into bitcoin exposure. For the market, it is another step toward mainstream channels where big asset managers compete for crypto assets on familiar ground. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

According to macro analyst Jordi Visser, dormant bitcoin is moving again and new buyers are stepping in. Visser spoke on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast and wrote about the trend on Substack, saying old holders are slowly selling while fresh investors pick up coins on dips. He compared what’s happening to an IPO (initial public offering), where early backers cash out and ownership spreads to a wider group. Related Reading: Dogecoin Enters The Big Leagues — Stadium And Jerseys Get A Crypto Makeover Price Action Has Been Flat And Frustrating Bitcoin traded between $109,000+ and $110,500+ over the last seven days, a range that has left traders impatient. Reports show the Crypto Fear & Greed Index returned “fear” readings since Wednesday and averaged fear during the prior week. Yet every pullback has been met by buyers, which suggests accumulation is taking place even as sentiment reads poorly. Network Signals Remain Strong Visser pointed to several industry signals as evidence that this is not a collapse. ETF approvals keep arriving, the bitcoin network hashrate has hit new highs, and stablecoin activity is growing. It was a busy week with many macro catalysts (Us-China, Fed, Mag7 earnings and Zelle/Stabledoins). Pomp and I go through it all and how the last two months look for assets. https://t.co/1mv6FCNYGF — Jordi Visser (@jvisserlabs) November 1, 2025 Those facts are being cited by analysts who argue the market is redistributing holdings rather than unraveling. In other words, supply is moving from long-idle wallets into hands that buy on weakness. What This Means For Volatility Based on Visser’s view, the current phase could continue for some time. He estimates an IPO-like cycle can last about six to 18 months in traditional markets, and while bitcoin moves faster, the process may still stretch toward the six-month mark on his timeline. When distribution finishes, one likely result is lower volatility, because ownership will be scattered across more participants instead of concentrated among early believers. No Loud Signal Expected To Mark The Shift Reports have disclosed that the change may not start with a big breakout or collapse. Instead, the market could simply stop grinding and begin a clearer move as distribution completes. That lack of a single trigger is frustrating for traders who want a clear sign, but it is familiar to anyone who has watched post-IPO stocks settle after lock-up expiries. Related Reading: Dogecoin Flashback: Mirror Move Hints At Record-Breaking Surge A Measured Take On The Market Visser’s interpretation is cautious rather than bullish hype.

Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital has moved more Bitcoin out of its wallets, stirring fresh debate about whether big players are selling or just handling client business. Related Reading: Bitcoin Drop Shaves $5 Billion From Satoshi Nakamoto’s Untouched Fortune According to on-chain trackers and posts shared by analytics firm CryptoQuant, a total of 1,531 BTC was recently transferred out of wallets linked to Galaxy. Galaxy’s Client Trades Galaxy acts as both a merchant bank and a trading desk for institutions, so large transfers don’t always mean the firm is cutting its own exposure. Reports have pointed out that Galaxy has executed major client orders before — including a notional sale of over 80,000 BTC in the past quarter — and many of those trades are handled off-exchange via OTC channels. Those facts make it hard to read short-term outflows as pure profit-taking by Novogratz’s firm. Galaxy Digital Outflow Spikes ???? Over 1,531 BTC moved out of Galaxy Digital wallets — a clear sign of rising short-term selling pressure in the market. ???? pic.twitter.com/6BdsOZFatM — Maartunn (@JA_Maartun) October 31, 2025 On-Chain Pattern Adds Detail The 1,531 BTC movement follows a string of recorded outflows. For example, trackers logged an outflow of 411 BTC on Oct. 24, suggesting this isn’t an isolated blip but part of several recent transfers tied to the firm’s wallets. Some analysts say the pattern looks like growing selling pressure. Other market watchers say the sums are consistent with client execution and rebalancing. Market Sentiment Split Sentiment indicators show a split mood. Social measures and the so-called Fear and Greed gauge have dipped into fear territory lately. Yet heads of some asset managers argue the opposite. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley has said institutions are “rushing in,” and he points to growing institutional interest as a signal that demand is building at higher levels. Those two views sit at odds: visible outflows and rocky short-term flows on one side, and growing institutional allocation on the other. Price Context And What It Means Bitcoin has been trading just a little over $110,000 as these moves happen. That price level matters because traders watch it as a barrier for bulls. When big transfers land near key price points, they get extra attention; some see them as profit-taking, others as routine client service. Either way, the net effect on price depends on whether buyers step in to absorb the supply. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ignites — 60% Volume Boom Teases Potential Rally Signals Traders Are Watching Keep an eye on three items: ETF flows, OTC activity, and on-chain outflows from known custodians. Spot crypto ETFs have shown net withdrawals in recent weeks, which can sap demand even if big institutions are slowly buying elsewhere. If ETF outflows persist while wallets tied to major brokers keep moving coins out, price pressure may rise.
