XRP is trading at a critical juncture, struggling to hold support below the $2.5 mark after weeks of heavy selling pressure. Bulls are finding it increasingly difficult to regain control, and overall sentiment across the market remains weak following sharp declines in major altcoins. Yet, some analysts argue that this exhaustion phase could represent a local bottom — a setup that historically precedes strong rebounds in XRP’s price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Rely on STH Realized Price Support Cluster: Loss Could Trigger $100K Retest According to data shared by CryptoQuant analyst CryptoOnchain, the XRP Ledger’s decentralized exchange (DEX) has shown a striking divergence between price and activity. Between October 8th and 17th, as XRP’s price plunged from around $3.0 to $2.3, DEX trading volume spiked to a multi-month high. This surge in activity, highlighted in the greyed-out region of the chart, signals that despite price weakness, on-chain engagement remains robust. This type of divergence often sparks debate among traders — it can either indicate capitulation, where sellers are finally giving up, or accumulation, where larger players quietly enter the market. With DEX activity heating up while price stagnates, the coming days could be decisive for XRP’s next move, as traders watch closely for signs of a potential reversal. Price-Volume Divergence Signals a Market Turning Point CryptoQuant analyst CryptoOnchain highlights that the recent divergence between XRP’s price and DEX volume can be interpreted in two opposite but crucial ways. The first is Capitulation and Selling Pressure, a bearish scenario where the surge in trading volume during a price decline reflects panic selling. In this case, the spike in activity represents a rush to exit — the capitulation of short-term holders and traders unwilling to hold through further losses. Historically, such events confirm strong bearish momentum as sellers dominate the market, often leading to temporary breakdowns before stabilization. On the other hand, the second possibility points to Accumulation by Smart Money. Here, the sharp increase in volume may not signal panic, but rather strategic positioning by large investors or whales taking advantage of discounted prices. While retail participants sell out of fear, long-term players could be absorbing supply, positioning for a potential recovery. This dynamic — the transfer of XRP from “weak hands” to “strong hands” — has historically preceded major reversals. Ultimately, this period underscores a fierce battle between buyers and sellers. Despite the drop in price, the presence of heavy buying interest suggests underlying strength. If demand continues to absorb selling pressure, XRP could be forming a foundation for its next bullish impulse. The $2.3–$2.5 zone now stands as a critical area to watch for signs of accumulation and a potential market rebound.

The chart shows that the token rebounded from lows near $2.3, a level that aligns closely with the 100-day moving average — now acting as short-term support. Despite the recovery to around $2.47, the structure remains fragile, with the 50-day moving average trending downward and the price still below the key $2.6–$2.7 resistance zone. This area previously served as strong support before being broken during the recent sell-off, suggesting that it could now act as a barrier for bullish continuation. The broader trend also highlights a significant increase in volatility, reflecting uncertainty among traders. The long lower wick on recent candles indicates that buyers are defending the $2.3 level, but without a clear volume expansion, a sustained reversal remains uncertain.

However, if selling pressure returns and price slips below $2.3, a deeper pullback toward the 200-day moving average near $1.8 cannot be ruled out. For now, XRP’s outlook depends on whether bulls can turn this temporary bounce into a confirmed recovery. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst Cantonese Cat has drawn attention to the current Dogecoin price action, making comparisons with the 36,000% rally recorded in the last cycle. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ghost has also provided a bullish outlook for the meme coin, predicting it could still rally to $1. How The Current Dogecoin Price Action Differs From Last Cycle In an X post, Cantonese Cat highlighted some differences between the current Dogecoin price action and that from the last cycle, when it recorded a 36,000% rally. The analyst noted that the last cycle was an anomaly because DOGE punched through the ‘Superlchi’ cloud without ever back-testing it that cycle and just went on its massive run. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Set To Go On A 2,000% Cyclical Surge To $4 Cantonese Cat then went on to mention that the Dogecoin price has punched through this Superlchi cloud in this cycle and claimed it from resistance to support. However, unlike in the previous cycle, DOGE has back-tested this level for more than half a year and has established it as good support. The analyst revealed that the most recent back-test happened this month, with a huge wick showing demand. Cantonese Cat explained that this is more consistent with what generally happens during a bull market and asserted that DOGE still has its bullish market structure. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that $0.18 is the key level that DOGE needs to stay above to maintain this structure. Crypto analyst Ghost also indicated that the bull market structure was still intact for the Dogecoin price. This came as the analyst highlighted a ‘Parabolic Arc,’ which they noted is still intact and predicted that the target for DOGE in this cycle is the psychological $1 level. A Rebound For DOGE May Be On The Horizon Crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that the Dogecoin price wants to rebound and that the key targets are $0.29, $0.45, and $0.86. This follows DOGE’s recent crash below the $0.2 level amid the broader crypto market decline. This has occurred due to rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China with the Trump tariffs.

He added that a catalyst is needed to ignite this next move up for DOGE. A potential catalyst could be the imminent rate cut, with the Fed expected to lower rates at next week’s FOMC meeting. Trump is also set to meet China’s President Xi Jinping, which could ease trade tensions and potentially lead to a trade deal between the two countries. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.2, up over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Dogecoin is once again in the spotlight after analyst ETHERNASYONAL shared a new post on X about the coin’s next move. In his post, he shows that Dogecoin is now in its 3rd market cycle, and the pattern looks a lot like what happened before the last two big rallies. He says Dogecoin is moving in the same rhythm as before, showing signs that it could be getting ready for another substantial rise. But this time, he points out one big difference, the timing. According to him, history doesn’t really repeat itself; it just continues in rhythm. The setup looks the same, but the next move might happen at a different pace. Analysts are now watching closely to see if this familiar pattern will lead to another big explosion in price. His chart shows Dogecoin slowly building strength again, much like it did before its earlier breakouts. ETHERNASYONAL Spots Familiar Pattern In Dogecoin’s 3rd Cycle In his post on X, ETHERNASYONAL shared a chart that shows Dogecoin entering what he calls its 3rd cycle. The chart compares the current market setup with the 1st and 2nd cycles, both of which ended in upward moves. The same kind of shape is forming again, a slow and steady climb that could lead to another sharp breakout. Related Reading: Why The Dogecoin Price Could Still Hit A 600% Rally To Send It Above $1.5 He explains that Dogecoin’s behavior does not copy the past in exact detail. Instead, it keeps the same rhythm. Each time the pattern builds, the market seems to prepare for a new run. The chart shows how in both past cycles, Dogecoin spent months moving in a tight range before a big surge started. The same look is now forming again. ETHERNASYONAL says this shows that Dogecoin is following a cyclical path. The rhythm stays the same, even if each cycle has its own pace The Only Difference Now Is Timing, Says Analyst While the setup looks almost the same as before, ETHERNASYONAL says that this time, the timing will be different. In his words, “History doesn’t repeat itself. It just continues its rhythm. This time, the difference will be timing.” He explains that the market may not move as fast as it did in past cycles, but it is still preparing for something big. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Eyes Major Breakout, Is A Rally To $0.7 All-Time Highs Possible? His post on X says Dogecoin is preparing the 3rd cycle, meaning Dogecoin’s next phase is forming step by step. Traders should watch for when the market starts to show stronger signs of a breakout. According to him, the main thing to focus on now is not the chart’s shape, which already looks bullish — but how long this setup will take to play out. ETHERNASYONAL believes that timing is now the key factor that will decide how big Dogecoin’s next rally becomes. The same rhythm is there, and the structure remains strong. What changes now is when the move will happen. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
