Chainlink (LINK) price has signaled macro bullish continuation after rebounding from a crucial support level around $16 in the past few days. The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $18.8 billion, gained over 8% in the past 24 hours to trade at about $18.89 on Monday during the mid-North American session. Why …
Dogecoin is regaining its spark as technical indicators flash signs of renewed bullish momentum. Following a prolonged consolidation and a notable correction to $0.095, the popular meme coin is now showing encouraging signs of recovery. A quiet yet steady breakout in its price structure, supported by an RSI breakout from an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, points toward strengthening market sentiment. Dogecoin’s Price Action Aligns With RSI Breakout Targets Trader Tardigrade, in his recent analysis of Dogecoin’s 4-hour chart posted on X, emphasized that the popular meme coin is maintaining a solid uptrend after a quiet but meaningful breakout. The move reflects growing bullish strength in the market as DOGE continues to trade above key support levels, signaling renewed interest from buyers after a period of consolidation. Related Reading: Next Dogecoin Stop Could Be $0.33 If This Level Holds, Analyst Says He further explained that the RSI indicator is displaying an inverse head and shoulders breakout pattern, a technical signal that often precedes a strong bullish continuation. The development suggests that momentum is building in favor of the bulls, with the RSI likely to climb toward the overbought zone if buying pressure persists. According to Tardigrade, if the current uptrend remains intact and the price continues to hold above key short-term supports, Dogecoin could advance toward its previous high near $0.21. Breaking above that level would not only validate the bullish structure but also potentially trigger a stronger rally, as it would confirm a shift in market sentiment toward sustained upside momentum. DOGE Shows Early Signs Of Rebound After Deep Correction Crypto analyst BitGuru revealed in a recent post on X that Dogecoin (DOGE) is finally showing the early signs of a potential rebound. This follows a prolonged period defined by a lengthy consolidation phase and a deep correction that pushed the price down to the $0.095 level. Such resilience, appearing after such an extended pullback, suggests that the market may finally be ready to stabilize. Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) Resilient Above $0.20 – Can Momentum Shift Toward Fresh Upside? The analyst provided a clear technical trigger that would confirm a definitive shift in the short-term market momentum. For the momentum to truly take hold and build into a sustainable rally, the price must successfully sustain above the key $0.20 level. This acts as the necessary floor that buyers must establish and defend. If DOGE is able to achieve a confirmed hold above $0.20, the technical outlook suggests a clear path higher. Momentum would then be expected to build rapidly toward the next major resistance target, identified as the $0.25 zone, signaling a significant short-term bullish shift for the meme coin.

A well-known crypto commentator has set off fresh debate by laying out a dramatic buy plan for Cardano (ADA), while market data points to a more cautious near-term picture. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Creator Just Took A $20 Billion Hit — If He’s Still Watching Analyst Lays Out Wild Upside Targets According to Mr. Brownstone, Cardano could offer a once-in-a-lifetime buying chance if price action follows a specific pattern. He highlighted sniper entry points and sketched a five-wave move that would, on his chart, lift ADA into three-digit territory. At the time reports were filed, ADA had risen 4% in 24 hours and was trading around $0.67. That followed a pullback of more than 20% over the prior two weeks and a flash crash low near $0.27 on Binance on October 10. Wave Forecasts That Aim Very High Based on the analyst’s wave count, ADA would first rebound to about $0.91 before slipping back to roughly $0.42. The third wave in his sequence is shown at $22.89. That number represents a 3,34% gain from the then-current price. $ADA ‼️ BUY OF THE CENTURY! ‼️ ????The opportunity of Cardano could be life changing! Q1 2026 could provide one of the best investments this century, by acquiring $ADA under $0.20 If this decline occurs, I expect price targets for the following years: ???? Intermediate wave (3) =… pic.twitter.com/KgsTp6lapR — Mr Brownstone (@GunsRoses1987) October 18, 2025 A corrective move to $7.5 would come after that, with a later target of $167 at the 1.38 Fibonacci extension. The chart’s most extreme path points to the 1.61 extension at $572 — a projection that Mr. Brownstone ties to long-term cycles, with a possible arrival year of 2034, which is about nine years away from now. According to his view, one last deep dip near $0.20 would set the stage for the entire structure. He suggests that a fall to about $0.20 — roughly a 70% drop from the market price at the time of his forecast — could happen in the first quarter of 2026. Derivatives Show Lower Confidence But market signals point in a different direction today. Reports have disclosed that futures Open Interest for ADA fell to over $112 million, the lowest year-to-date and levels not seen since November 2024, based on Coinglass data. Open Interest dropping usually means fewer new positions are being taken. At the same time, short bets rose and trader participation waned. ADA had corrected nearly 7% in the previous week and was hovering around $0.65 at the time of writing. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Moment? Analyst Urges Traders To Swap Gold For Crypto Big Targets, Big Questions Taken together, the picture is mixed. The analyst’s scenario offers huge upside numbers: $22.89, $167.4, and the eyebrow-raising $572.4. But those figures rest on a strict wave interpretation and the assumption of fresh, strong buying after a dramatic low near $0.20. Market breadth and derivatives data do not yet support that kind of conviction. Participation is lower and short interest is higher, which usually points to weaker near-term momentum. Reports have shown both sides: a vivid long-term plan and data that favors caution right now. Traders and investors will need to weigh the math of wave counts against real trading flows and the possibility that prices could stay subdued for some time.

XRP’s price has stabilized after its recent crash and is now making a slow recovery to $2.50 with early signs of renewed strength. The cryptocurrency is now under close observation by traders waiting for the next decisive move. One such observation is an ambitious forecast that has surfaced online, projecting an astronomical rally for XRP. A crypto commentator known as Remi Relief shared a post on the social media platform X, using artificial intelligence to support his claim that XRP could reach as high as $1,700 if it repeats its explosive run from 2017 to 2018. The Analyst’s AI-Backed Projection In his post, Remi Relief revisited XRP’s 2017 rally, noting that the token had surged by about 76,000% rather than the commonly cited 64,000%. He explained that if XRP were to replicate that same level of growth in the current market cycle, its price could reach around $1,700. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Hit $1,200 With 50,000% Run Driven By These Factors The image attached to his post, which appears to be an interaction with Grok 3, an artificial intelligence tool, illustrated this calculation by adjusting previous errors in the percentage increase. According to the AI’s analysis, XRP’s 2017 rise from $0.005 to $3.84 represented an actual gain of about 76,700%. When this growth rate is applied to XRP’s present market value, the resulting projection points to an estimated price of $1,697.27, rather than the previously calculated figure of $1,414.40. Grok concluded that although earlier projections contained mathematical inaccuracies, the underlying argument that XRP remains capable of another extraordinary price expansion fits within the speculative nature of crypto price projections. Taking this correction into account, Remi Relief revised his earlier outlook, abandoning his initial $1,200 target and adopting the higher $1,700 estimate as a more accurate reflection of what a repeat of XRP’s 2017 to 2018 rally could achieve for its current price. The Fine Line Between Optimism And Reality The crypto market that witnessed XRP’s rise in 2017 was an entirely different one from what exists today. Back then, the industry was still in its experimental phase, and investments were mostly due to hype and unregulated enthusiasm. Related Reading: The XRP Price Roadmap To $8: How An Over 50% Bounce Could Materialize Retail investors poured in with little resistance, and even small inflows had an outsized effect on token prices because overall liquidity and capitalization were relatively low. Particularly, XRP’s 76,000% rally occurred in an environment where total crypto market capitalization was under $1 trillion. To replicate that same magnitude of rally now, XRP would need capital inflows on a scale that is greater than anything the crypto market has ever witnessed. An XRP price of $1,700, given its current circulating supply of around 59.97 billion tokens, would translate to a market cap exceeding $101 trillion. This is an astronomical figure that surpasses the combined value of the entire world’s GDP. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.47, up by 5.9% in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin is staging a modest rebound after several days of intense selling pressure and fear across the market. The leading cryptocurrency has struggled to establish stable support, with volatile swings making it difficult for traders to navigate. Despite the uncertainty, some market participants continue to move strategically — and one of the most well-known whales has just made a big return. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Rely on STH Realized Price Support Cluster: Loss Could Trigger $100K Retest The trader known as BitcoinOG (1011short) — who gained fame for earning over $197 million during last week’s flash crash — is back in action. On-chain data shows that he has deposited $30 million in USDC to Hyperliquid and opened a 10x short position on 700 BTC, worth roughly $75.5 million. This move has drawn the market’s attention, reigniting speculation about whether the whale anticipates another leg down for Bitcoin. While BTC is attempting to recover above the $110,000 mark, the presence of such a large short position highlights lingering bearish sentiment and a lack of conviction among traders. For now, bulls are fighting to stabilize price momentum, but with whales like 1011short back in the game, volatility is likely far from over — and the market may be in for another sharp move soon. Whale’s Short in Profit as Market Tension Rises According to Lookonchain, the whale known as BitcoinOG (1011short) currently holds an unrealized profit of about $880,000, or roughly 11%, on his latest $75.5 million short position opened on Hyperliquid. The trade, placed during Bitcoin’s rebound phase, has quickly gained traction as BTC struggles to sustain momentum above the $111,000 level. This move has sparked unease among investors and traders alike, many of whom view it as a potential warning sign that larger players may be positioning for renewed downside pressure. Still, analysts warn that this might not tell the full story. While the 1011short address has earned a reputation for precision — notably pocketing $197 million during the October 10 flash crash — the transparency of on-chain data has limits. It’s unclear how many positions this whale currently holds across other exchanges or what the exact strategy behind his trades may be. As such, reading his moves as a simple bearish bet could be an oversimplification. The next few days will be critical for Bitcoin’s trajectory. If the whale decides to scale his short further, it could intensify selling pressure and drag BTC toward key support levels. Conversely, if he closes out the position or pivots to longs, it might suggest a short-term market bottom. Either way, the setup points to heightened volatility ahead, with traders bracing for sharp price movements as the market digests this high-profile activity. Related Reading: BNB Active Addresses Hit Record 3.6 Million – Analyst Explains Network Growth Bitcoin Holds Weekly Support, but Resistance Looms Bitcoin is showing early signs of stabilization on the weekly chart, recovering from its October 10 flash crash low near $103,000 to trade around $111,200. The candle structure suggests that buyers are defending the 50-week moving average (blue line), which has acted as a reliable mid-cycle support throughout the current bull phase. However, the broader structure still shows Bitcoin consolidating below the $117,500 resistance — a level that has repeatedly capped rallies since mid-2025. Until BTC breaks above this zone with strong volume, the market remains trapped in a sideways range, with traders positioning cautiously amid high volatility and uncertain macro conditions. Related Reading: New Wallets Move Over $160M In Bitcoin From Binance And FalconX – Details Momentum indicators point to neutral-to-bearish sentiment, reflecting hesitation among bulls after weeks of heavy liquidations. Yet, the presence of higher lows on the weekly chart continues to support the long-term bullish structure, as long as BTC holds above $106,000–$107,000. If price manages to reclaim and close above $117,500, the path could open toward $125,000–$130,000, aligning with liquidity pockets from previous tops. Conversely, a weekly close below $106,000 would shift the outlook bearish, suggesting deeper corrections ahead. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
