Zcash (ZEC) is back in the spotlight after a dramatic rebound. Following Monday’s steep fall to roughly $548, the privacy coin has bounced sharply, gaining 12% in the last 24 hours and reclaiming the $670 level. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Suffer 40% Crash From All-Time High? Analyst Reveals ‘Final Target’ After surging more than 1,500% year-to-date and rallying 175% in the past month, the privacy-focused cryptocurrency is now testing a major bullish breakout pattern, leaving traders wondering what comes next and whether ZEC can truly sustain this momentum. ZEC's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ZECUSD on Tradingview Institutional Accumulation Fuels a Powerful Upswing A major catalyst behind Zcash’s meteoric rise has been aggressive accumulation from high-profile institutional players. The newly rebranded Cypherpunk Technologies, backed by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, has snapped up 233,644 ZEC, worth roughly $150 million. This stash now represents around 1.25% of the circulating supply, with the firm openly declaring plans to raise its holdings to at least 5%. This level of concentration has tightened liquid supply and injected strong confidence across the market. Supporting the trend, long-time privacy advocate Arthur Hayes has openly backed ZEC, predicting a run to $1,000 and even suggesting Zcash could eventually reach 20% of Bitcoin’s value. The upcoming November 2025 halving has added another bullish layer. With block rewards set to fall by 50%, ZEC will enter a sharply reduced-issuance environment, historically a strong driver of scarcity-led rallies across major cryptocurrencies. Technical Indicators Signal a Potential Zcash (ZEC) Breakout On the technical front, Zcash is close to confirming a classic inverse head and shoulders formation on the 4-hour chart. The neckline sits around $690, and a decisive breakout above this level could open a path toward $956, a nearly 40% upside from recent prices. ZEC is also trading above its 50-day EMA at $613, while a green Supertrend signal hints at sustained bullish momentum. Still, analysts caution that ZEC must hold above the EMA to avoid invalidating the formation. Key support remains at $600–$605, where momentum has recently cooled. Coordinated Influence and Growing Privacy Demand Beyond charts and supply mechanics, market observers say a coordinated narrative push is also at play. Crypto media figure Ran Neuner believes influential industry players are rallying behind Zcash to spotlight privacy as a critical next frontier. According to him, this is less a pump-and-dump and more a long-term mission around compliant, user-controlled privacy, a feature that differentiates ZEC from rivals like Monero.

Bitcoin continues to struggle around the $90K level as the market battles intense selling pressure and widespread fear. Short-term sentiment remains fragile, with investors reacting to rapid price swings and mounting downside volatility. Yet, beneath the noise, key on-chain metrics are beginning to show signs that the correction may be nearing exhaustion. Related Reading: Nearly 7M Bitcoin Now Sitting At A Loss: Highest Unrealized Pain Since January 2024 According to analyst On-Chain Mind, Bitcoin’s Mean Reversion Oscillator has just printed its first green oversold bar in months, a signal that has historically aligned with late-stage retracements during bull markets. This oscillator measures how far price has deviated from its cyclical mean, helping identify when Bitcoin becomes overstretched to the downside. Each time this indicator dipped into its green oversold zone in previous cycles, Bitcoin was either forming a macro bottom or preparing for a significant rebound. The fact that this signal has appeared while BTC consolidates above $90K — despite severe profit-taking, forced liquidations, and structural fear — suggests that strong hands may be quietly absorbing supply. Historical Bottom Signals Align as Macro Tailwinds Strengthen On-Chain Mind explains that Bitcoin’s current Mean Reversion Oscillator reading aligns closely with historical patterns seen during bull market retracements. Each time the oscillator dipped into the green oversold zone while the 35 line held, Bitcoin formed a cyclical bottom before resuming its upward trajectory. This line has acted as a structural support level across multiple market cycles, and the fact that it is holding once again reinforces the idea that strong hands are stepping in as weaker participants capitulate. According to On-Chain Mind, when this indicator flashes green during an ongoing bull market, it often marks textbook accumulation territory — the kind of opportunity that appears only a few times per cycle. The current setup resembles previous late-stage pullbacks rather than the beginning of a prolonged bear trend. Adding to this outlook, NVIDIA’s blowout earnings delivered a major confidence boost to U.S. equities. With revenue and guidance far exceeding expectations, the results signal that AI-driven demand remains strong. In broader macro terms, such strength in tech leadership often spills over into higher-risk assets like crypto, improving liquidity and investor sentiment. Related Reading: Bitcoin Capitulation Deepens Around $90K Level: Classic Late-Stage Fear Structure Emerging Testing Support as Momentum Begins to Stabilize Bitcoin’s latest daily chart shows price attempting to stabilize after a sharp multi-week decline, with BTC currently trading near $92,000. This level is acting as a temporary support zone following the breakdown from the $100K area, where sellers aggressively dominated order books. The chart reveals a series of lower highs and lower lows — a classic short-term downtrend structure — but the recent candlesticks hint at reduced selling momentum compared to the peak pressure seen earlier in November. The 50-day and 100-day moving averages have both turned downward, reflecting weakening short-term trend strength, while the 200-day MA remains far below price, highlighting that the broader bullish cycle may not be invalidated yet. Importantly, the current candle structure shows smaller bodies and longer lower wicks, suggesting buyers are beginning to absorb sell-side liquidity around the $90K–$92K region.

While capitulation-like spikes occurred during the heaviest drop, trading activity has now normalized, indicating panic selling is cooling off.

Crypto analyst Will Taylor, founder of Cryptoinsightuk, says talk of an XRP bear market is premature, arguing that the token’s higher-time-frame structure and liquidity profile remain bullish despite extreme volatility and record liquidations. Is The XRP Bear Market Here? In a video published on 19 November, Taylor acknowledged the “doom and gloom” dominating crypto sentiment but insisted that, from a technical standpoint, “nothing’s really changed” for XRP. His core claim is that XRP is still trading above a reclaimed multi-year resistance level that now acts as structural support. “We have spent over a year above our 7-year resistance holding it as support,” he said, calling this setup “almost unprecedented for XRP and for any asset.” As long as that zone holds, he rejects the idea that the market has rolled into a confirmed long-term downtrend. “Until that support is lost […] you can’t convince me that we’re bearish. I just don’t believe that.” Taylor uses Bitcoin as the macro anchor for the XRP thesis. He described the current BTC drawdown as a standard bull-market correction, noting that price is now sitting around a 30% pullback from the highs, similar to prior mid-cycle moves. He pointed out that the daily RSI is oversold and that the three-day RSI is at levels last seen near the $25,000 lows. “If we’re referring back to when momentum has felt this bad, it’s literally cycle lows,” he argued, while stressing that this does not guarantee an immediate reversal. Related Reading: XRP Supply In Profit Falls to 58.5% – Lowest Since 2024 Despite Higher Price Against that backdrop, he characterizes XRP as simply ranging above long-term support. On the daily chart, he said XRP is “holding its range pretty well,” with price near the lower end of that structure. He framed the area around roughly $2 as historically attractive from a risk-reward perspective: “Bottom of the range is where people are scared, where sentiment’s low. These are the areas that are pretty decent.” The liquidity map is central to his view. On lower time frames, Taylor sees some liquidity beneath recent lows, around $2.05–2.03, which could be swept without breaking the broader range. However, he stressed that the overwhelming concentration of resting liquidity lies far above spot. In the daily, he claimed that for XRP “the densest area of liquidity by an absolute long shot is above us […] dense all the way up to $4.20, $4.30 in dollars.” He argued that this distribution matters because market makers and exchanges maximize revenue where positions are opened and closed, not at stagnant prices. “They make money when contracts are opened and closed. They don’t give a [expletive] whether the price goes up or down,” he said. In his view, that means price statistically gravitates toward the most crowded liquidity pockets: “You have to play the four out of five chance that it is going to go into the dense area of liquidity.” Related Reading: Famous Trader Bets $27 Million That The XRP Price Will Crash XRP Vs. The Rest Of Crypto Taylor also pointed to relative-value signals. Against Ethereum, XRP recently closed a weekly candle above the 0.000071 level, which he said “has trapped us down since August.” Versus Bitcoin, he highlighted that XRP has been “holding the range lows” and has finally logged a weekly close above a resistance cluster that capped price since early October. XRP dominance, he added, has broken out of a downtrend and closed back above a recent cluster, although he wants “one or two more weeks” of continuation to confirm a bullish cross. He underscored that this structure has held despite the October 10, “the largest liquidation event in history of crypto.” While the FTX collapse saw about $2 billion in leveraged positions liquidated, the October 10 move liquidated roughly $20 billion and still failed to push XRP into a sustained breakdown.The sharp wick lower was “instantly bought back to the upside,” and the range was reclaimed soon after. “Things like XRP are looking super bullish here,” he concluded. “I think XRP is going to blow the doors off people’s expectations.” For now, Taylor maintains that an XRP bear market would require a decisive loss of the long-term support zone and a very different liquidity and dominance picture. Until those conditions appear, he says, “there isn’t a factual argument” for a confirmed bear market—only predictions. At press time, XRP traded at $2.11.

The conversation around XRP has grown louder in recent months as the asset continues to gain traction through ecosystem growth, Spot XRP ETFs, and market interest. Despite this momentum, XRP still sits far below Bitcoin, the industry’s dominant cryptocurrency, when comparing total valuation. That gap raises a simple question: how high would the XRP price need to climb in order to actually flip Bitcoin? Data from MarketCapOf provides a direct, real-time look at what XRP’s price would be if it matched Bitcoin’s market capitalization today. The Market Cap Required To Flip Bitcoin Although it is currently going through a correction phase, Bitcoin has the largest presence in the crypto market by an overwhelming margin, and its market capitalization currently stands at roughly $1.84 trillion. This valuation ranks Bitcoin among the largest assets on the planet, surpassing many global corporations. Related Reading: Is It Time To Buy XRP? Analyst Says Get In Before This Switch Happens XRP, now trading around $2.14 at the time of writing, holds a market cap of approximately $128.7 billion. This means Bitcoin’s valuation is more than fourteen times larger than XRP’s. For XRP to flip Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency would need to rise to the same market capitalization that Bitcoin currently holds. Using the circulating supply of XRP, MarketCapOf calculates how much each XRP token would be worth if it matched Bitcoin’s market cap. Based on the latest data, XRP would need to trade at $30.61 for its total valuation to equal Bitcoin’s. This is the current “flippening price,” and it reflects the direct ratio between their two market caps. To reach the level of Bitcoin’s all-time high market cap of $2.485 trillion recorded on October 6, XRP would need to climb to about $41.26 per token. Breaking Down The Numbers The calculation highlights how far ahead Bitcoin still is. XRP sits at roughly seven percent of Bitcoin’s total valuation, meaning the asset would need to appreciate more than fourteen times from its current level to stand on equal footing. In simple terms, an investor holding 1,000 XRP would see their position shift from about $2,140 today to more than $30,000 if the token were priced at $30.61. Related Reading: Wondering Why The XRP Price Is Still Lagging Despite Record ETF Launch? Read This This comparison does not assume any change in circulating supply, tokenomics, or macro factors. It is a clean and direct valuation exercise based purely on market capitalization. However, even in its simplicity, it shows the scale of inflows required for XRP to close the gap and flip Bitcoin’s dominance in the cryptocurrency rankings. Recent months have seen stronger activity in the Ripple ecosystem, most especially with new partnerships and acquisitions by Ripple. Added to this is the expanding conversation around Spot XRP ETFs, which many analysts believe could introduce significant liquidity if major issuers like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale fully enter the space. The newest entrant is Bitwise, which launched its Spot XRP ETF just hours ago. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Dogecoin finds itself at a critical crossroads as price action sinks into the lower 5% of its long-term channel, a zone that has historically preceded explosive rallies. Yet with fresh bearish pressure triggered by a sharp Tenkan-sen cross, the market now faces a defining moment: rebound or extended grind? A Critical Turning Point For Dogecoin DOGECAPITAL, in a recent analysis, highlighted that Dogecoin has slipped into the lower 5% of its long-term trading channel. Each time price has entered this zone in the past, it has preceded powerful rallies following periods of consolidation. That history raises an important question: Is Dogecoin once again preparing for a major cyclical rebound? Related Reading: Dogecoin Cup And Handle Pattern Is Returning, What Happens To Price If It’s Completed? According to the analyst, one possible outcome is that Dogecoin stabilizes within this lower channel zone and uses it as a launchpad for another significant rally. This setup has occurred across multiple market cycles and remains a strong possibility if support continues to hold. Another scenario is that Dogecoin maintains a slow, sideways “crabwalk” along the bottom of the channel. The meme coin may not experience a blow-off top this cycle but instead transition into a gradual, long-term uptrend. Such a pattern would allow Dogecoin to climb without creating new cycle lows. The analysis also notes that broader market conditions could heavily influence Dogecoin’s direction. Should Bitcoin break into a new all-time high from current levels, it would signal that the entire market cycle is extending. An extended cycle would likely boost Dogecoin’s trajectory as well, increasing the probability of a meaningful trend shift. Overall, the long-term channel dynamics combined with macro market signals suggest that Dogecoin is approaching a pivotal moment. Whether it sparks a historic rally or opts for a slower climb, its position within this critical zone is setting the stage for a major move. Bearish Tenkan-sen Cross Sparks Sharp Dogecoin Sell-Off According to a recent update shared by Trader Tardigrade, Dogecoin has just experienced a sharp downturn triggered by a Price-to-Tenkan-sen bearish cross. This key Ichimoku signal marked the start of an aggressive sell-off wave, catching many traders off guard.

Dave Portnoy has re-entered the digital-asset arena with a seven-figure allocation in XRP that has raised eyebrows across the market. At a time when XRP continues to face downward pressure and muted investor sentiment, the Barstool Sports founder executed a decisive million-dollar purchase. The timing, scale, and narrative surrounding the move have prompted renewed scrutiny of an asset many assumed had exhausted its momentum. Strategic Capital Deployment Amid XRP’s Weak Price Performance Portnoy recently revealed that he acquired $1,000,000 worth of XRP, alongside $750,000 in Bitcoin and $400,000 in Ethereum. He framed his move bluntly, describing the market as “bleeding” and presenting his purchases as a calculated attempt to buy the dip. This timing is questionable because XRP has been struggling to maintain momentum, with the token falling nearly 15% over the past week and oscillating around the $2.13 mark with no clear breakout in sight. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin Price Could Pump To $110,000 This Week This downward trajectory is particularly notable given the market’s anticipation that the recent Canary XRP ETF launch would trigger a bullish reaction. Instead, prices trended lower, making Portnoy’s re-entry a contrarian move against prevailing sentiment. His announcement generated swift public attention, with Eric Trump commenting “smart trade” under Portnoy’s post. Among XRP enthusiasts, this could be interpreted as more than casual praise—some view it as a subtle hint of potential positive developments for XRP, recalling the Trump family’s history of well-timed investments before major market spikes. Meanwhile, market analyst Barri C has fueled optimism with a bullish projection for XRP, suggesting that the asset could experience a rapid, substantial surge in value sooner than widely expected. When combined with Portnoy’s million-dollar allocation, this positions his trade as a forward-looking strategy aligned with emerging bullish signals and broader positive market commentary. Institutional Momentum May Explain The Timing XRP is seeing a major institutional shift. Bitwise Asset Management recently announced its spot XRP ETF, set to trade soon on the NYSE under ticker XRP, waiving the 0.34% management fee for the first month on the first $500,000,000, making it easier for traditional investors to gain regulated exposure and participate more efficiently. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Ethereum Price Is Crashing Again, Can It Breach $3,000? These developments create a more supportive market environment, positioning the ETF for a potentially strong launch despite short-term weakness in XRP’s price. While the chart shows a pullback, Bitwise emphasizes that XRP’s regulatory positioning, infrastructure upgrades, and broader capital-market integration have accelerated. Portnoy’s $1,000,000 XRP purchase reflects a strategic bet on these emerging market drivers and potential asset re-pricing as institutional flows begin to enter, rather than on current sentiment. In this environment, his decision appears less reactive and more like a calculated move. Whether Portnoy has privileged insight or simply recognizes how institutional adoption reshapes markets, the timing of his allocation signals conviction at a moment when others remain hesitant.
