According to new analysis and community discussion, XRP’s recent price action has rekindled a long-running comparison to Amazon’s slow climb before a major breakout. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rockets Past $119K, Analysts Now Eye $130K Target Some analysts say the pattern looks familiar: a long consolidation, then a steep rally. Amazon’s stock took 3,800 days — more than a decade — to clear its old highs and later rose from about $5 to over $200, a timeline that is being used as a benchmark by bullish XRP voices. Regulatory Battles Do Not End Growth Based on reports, the regulatory history has nuances. Brad Kimes revived the comparison and pointed to regulatory pressure on Amazon as similar to what Ripple faced. Amazon vs XRP. Reminder, Amazon was sued by the SEC, too. ???? https://t.co/ZXqtWhancp — Digital Perspectives (@DigPerspectives) October 3, 2025 That point needed fact-checking. The SEC opened an inquiry into Amazon in 2022 over its testimony on third-party seller data; that probe closed with no fines or charges. The case that led to legal action, however, came from the FTC. The FTC sued Amazon in June 2023 over checkout practices, and the matter was resolved last month with a $2.5 billion settlement — $1 billion in penalties and $1.5 billion in refunds earmarked for roughly 35 million users by December 2025. The broader claim — that major firms can face heavy government scrutiny and still grow — still holds weight in the debate. XRP’s Pattern And Long-Term Claim According to Nick Anderson of Bullrunners, XRP is building a “cup and handle” formation near prior peaks. At the time of his write-up, XRP was changing hands around $2.71. Anderson argued that if XRP follows a similar multi-year path as Amazon, it could eventually trade near $100. He added that someone holding 10,000 XRP would become a millionaire at that level, and that 10,000 holders were among the top 4% on the XRP rich list during his analysis. He warned, however, that such an outcome would likely take years, not months. Technical Signals And Price Targets Meanwhile, based on a technical note from Cryptoinsightuk, XRP has seen a three-day RSI bullish crossover — a signal that has preceded big gains in the past. The analyst pointed out that in each of the three previous times the three-day RSI crossed up, XRP recorded strong rallies. XRP was trading near $3.02 and holding above local support around $2.72. We are in the territory where we could see a pop to the upside for $XRP at any point imo. We got a great 3 Day candle close yesterday and bullish cross on the 3 day RSI.

From late September, Bitcoin has embarked on an impressive bullish rally to reach price levels around its all-time high of $124,457. However, it remains speculative as to whether the premier cryptocurrency will maintain this early October momentum to put in a new all-time-high price, or experience a major correction into deeper liquidity zones. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bear Trap Over? Pundit Reveals Where The Market Is At Right Now Bitcoin Key Levels To Watch: Rally’s Challenge Lies At $125k Resistance In an X post on October 3, key opinion leader (KOL) Ted Pillows shared that Bitcoin is once again approaching critical price levels, backed by data showing trader activity. Pillows based this analysis on the Order Book Heatmap metric, which shows the amount or quantity of pending buy and sell orders at specific price levels on different exchanges. The indicator shows horizontal coloured bands at those price levels, with the colors representing clusters of orders resting around those zones. According to the KOL, Bitcoin has a high amount of sell orders packed around the $125,000 price level. Usually, a zone such as this with clusters of sell orders could act as strong resistance for the price. Interestingly, Ted also cited the presence of a significant amount of buy orders to the downside of the price, specifically around $119,500 and $117,500. As is intuitively obvious, these orders could act as solid support if the flagship cryptocurrency were to experience a correction to this level. Related Reading: BNB Cup-And-Handle Breakout Powers Past $1,050, A Move To $1,100 Next? Cautionary Market Outlook For Bitcoin In a separate X post, Pillows also shares more insights concerning Bitcoin’s price action and what to watch out for in a potential downswing. Notably, the analyst expected Bitcoin to see an accumulation around the $120,000 price level before surging to around $124,000, a prediction that has since played out, leading to a minor retracement. In analyzing the important immediate support levels, the crypto pundit highlighted the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA20), which is currently near $118,447 as a vital threshold. According to Pillows, if Bitcoin holds above this level, the broader trend (which is currently bullish) will most likely be retained. On the other hand, a break below the 30-day Moving Average (MA30), currently around $116,415, may be ominous for the cryptocurrency. The KOL explained that this situation could open the door to “a larger correction toward $112k-$113k,” as more liquidity will be sought after. Therefore, the market remains in a state of anticipation to see if Bitcoin tests its higher resistance at $125,000 or slips back into lower zones to test its support zones. If Bitcoin were to break out of its current resistance zone, the market could see the continuation of its already impressive upward rally into previously uncharted territory. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is valued at about $122,100, with a fair growth of about 1.6% in the past day. Featured image from Flickr, chart from Tradingview

As the market recovers, Bitcoin (BTC) is kicking off the weekend on a positive note by reclaiming another crucial support level. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is setting the stage for a new price discovery rally, which could start sooner than expected. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) ‘Uptober’ Begins With $220 Retest – Is It Ready For Second ‘Expansion Wave’? Bitcoin Eyes Third Price Discovery Uptrend On Friday, Bitcoin jumped nearly 3% to hit a two-month high of $123,894. The flagship crypto has seen a massive recovery from last week’s correction, surging 14% from the local lows. Earlier this week, BTC reclaimed the $115,000-$117,000 area, which served as a key support zone during the early Q3 rally, before surging to the crucial $120,000 barrier on Thursday. Amid its bullish performance, analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that Bitcoin was able to secure a daily close above this level, skipping a retest of the recently reclaimed $117,000 mark. He explained that a daily close above $120,000, followed by a successful post-breakout retest, has historically preceded a move to the $123,00 resistance, with a nearly identical daily performance leading to the mid-August all-time high (ATH) of $124,474. Meanwhile, market watcher Ted Pillows noted that if BTC successfully holds the $120,000-$121,000 zone, it will reach highs soon. On the contrary, he warned that losing this area could lead to a retest of the $117,000 as support. Nonetheless, he considers that Bitcoin’s price might not see another massive correction in the short term, as history suggests the cryptocurrency might have bottomed during the late-September pullback. “BTC historically bottoms in September. Since 2016, Bitcoin has bottomed 7 times in September. (…) Historically, this means BTC bottom is most likely in and it won’t go lower than $107K,” he asserted. Analyst Crypto Jelle forecasted that price discovery could resume as early as next week, pointing out that holding the $120,000 level as support over the weekend and closing above it in the weekly timeframe would set a strong base for the long-awaited Q4 rally. Is BTC’s Top A Few Weeks Away? As the flagship cryptocurrency is on the “cusp of entering Price Discovery Uptrend 3,” Rekt Capital also shared a potential timeline for Bitcoin’s cycle top based on its previous post-halving performances. The analyst previously shared his 2025 roadmap for BTC’s rally, suggesting that it could see an extended cycle or potentially enjoy a third Price Discovery Uptrend before the bear market, which would push the cycle peak into deeper stages of 2025. In a video analysis, he suggested that BTC’s top could arrive in the next two weeks to two months. As he explained, Bitcoin peaked around 520 days after the 2016 Halving event, while it topped nearly 550 days after the 2020 event. If it had repeated its 2017 timeline, BTC would have had to peak around September, meaning that the August ATH was the cycle top. The analyst dismissed this possibility, suggesting that a repeat of its 2021 price action was more likely. In this case, BTC would need to peak in the next two weeks. Related Reading: Analyst Forecast Ethereum (ETH) Breakout To $6,900 As Price Retests Crucial Resistance However, Rekt Capital laid a third scenario in which Bitcoin tops around mid-November. This timeline would follow the theory that the cycle peak timeline is increasing by 30 days at a time, signaling that this cycle’s peak would happen around the 580-day mark post-halving. “If we are looking at the four-year cycle, the most important thing is to just wrap everything up in candle one. That’s historically what’s been the case,” he explained. “So, at least two weeks and maybe still a month and a half to a maximum of two months. But beyond that, I don’t think we’ll be lengthening.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Binance Coin (BNB) has kicked off October with impressive momentum. After climbing more than 6.5% in 24 hours, BNB surged past the $1,100 mark, setting a new all-time high of $1,111 before consolidating slightly lower. Related Reading: Galaxy’s Digital Bitcoin Sales Continue: 1,190 Bitcoin Moves To Binance This milestone highlighted the token’s resilience amid a volatile macro environment, characterized by the U.S. government shutdown and changing monetary policy outlooks, and also highlights its growing influence in the broader crypto market. BNB's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: BNBUSD on Tradingview BNB Breaks $1,100 as Uptober Momentum Builds BNB’s latest rally saw prices climb to $1,111 before consolidating near $1,096, posting a 6% gain in 24 hours and more than 17% in the last week. Analysts note that the breakout above $1,050 resistance unlocked renewed momentum, with traders now targeting $1,200 as the next psychological barrier. Market data from CoinGlass shows that nearly $400 million in leveraged positions were liquidated during the move, including $268 million in short positions. This suggests that institutional buyers and momentum traders seized the opportunity to accumulate BNB as retail traders were forced out of the market. Network Growth and Lower Gas Fees Drive Demand Beyond price action, fundamentals on the BNB Chain continue to strengthen. Recent upgrades reduced gas fees from 0.1 Gwei to 0.05 Gwei, positioning BNB Chain as one of the cheapest and most efficient blockchains for decentralized finance (DeFi) and trading applications. On-chain activity supports the bullish case. Active addresses spiked to over 73 million in September, while transaction volumes climbed to 4.34 million monthly, the second-highest on record. The chain’s total value locked (TVL) has also risen to $8.23 billion, showing steady adoption across DeFi protocols. Institutional participation is increasing too. Kazakhstan’s state-backed Alem Crypto Fund recently designated BNB as its first official investment, indicating that sovereign entities are starting to diversify into exchange-linked tokens. Can BNB Sustain Its Push Toward $1,200? With BNB’s market cap now surpassing $160 billion, experts believe the token is strengthening its position as a key asset alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Technical signals indicate potential further gains: the token remains strong above all major moving averages, and RSI is near but not yet in overbought levels. Nevertheless, volatility remains a significant risk. A decline towards the $1,000–$1,030 support zone could occur if profit-taking speeds up. However, as long as BNB stays above $1,050, analysts consider $1,150–$1,200 as achievable short-term targets. Related Reading: No Accident: The Powerful Factors Behind Bitcoin’s Late-September Rally As Uptober progresses, BNB’s resilience and expanding network fundamentals are fueling speculation that Binance Coin might eventually rival Ethereum in adoption and market influence.
