The cryptocurrency market remains in disarray following widespread declines, yet the XRP price continues to attract the attention of analysts who maintain an optimistic outlook. One expert noted that XRP has just printed a rare and bullish setup, with multiple chart indicators aligning in support of upward momentum. XRP Price Forms Rare Multi-Layered Bullish Setup According to crypto market expert Bobby A, XRP is in a rare market position, consolidating above key historical levels while preparing for a move that could lead to new all-time highs. He noted that different indicators are aligning in support of a possible uptrend. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bullish Again? $10 Million Stock Buyback Sparks Fresh Price Hopes In a chart shared on X social media, Bobby explained that XRP’s market capitalization has been holding above its 2018 peak for more than 300 days, an uncommon show of strength amid the recent downturn. This long consolidation above a major resistance-turned support level suggests a massive build-up of energy before the next leg higher. He argues that this base formation signals a potentially explosive move to the upside, with the next market cap targets identified at $173 billion and a peak around $727 billion. On the price front, Bobby reveals that XRP has been forming a multi-month bullish flag pattern on its charts. He labels the critical support zones as “Base Camp 1” around $1.9 and “Base Camp 2” at $2.89—both of which have been successfully defended. He further highlighted that the monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also positioning itself for one final push toward overbought territory, often a precursor to a sharp upward move. Based on his projections, XRP’s take profit zones sit between $5 and $13, levels that would mark fresh all-time highs. Bobby’s analysis highlights that XRP’s indicators are “firing on all cylinders,” with momentum across higher timeframes aligning for a potentially powerful surge. He further pointed out that Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), currently at 58.7%, is set to retrace toward the mid-to-low 40% zone soon. Such a move would enable altcoins like XRP to capture a larger market share, thereby reinforcing the likelihood of a bullish breakout. The analyst described this rare alignment as a generational setup that occurs only a few times in a decade. Bearish Divergence Sparks Short-Term XRP Sell-Off While XRP appears to be resisting the present market downturn, not all analysts share an immediate bullish sentiment. Crypto expert JD has warned about a Bearish Divergence forming on XRP’s weekly chart—a signal that has now played out as expected. As shown in the chart, while XRP’s price made higher highs, the RSI indicator printed lower highs, creating a textbook Bearish Divergence pattern. This divergence has already led to a sharp 27% correction from the $3.37 take profit level that JD had previously identified. According to him, many market participants are now questioning why XRP has been under pressure despite broader optimism. Related Reading: Hyperliquid’s Days Numbered? Expert Forecasts ‘Painful Death’ JD argues that the Bearish Divergence was the clearest warning signal, and those who ignored it are now witnessing its full effect. He cautions that while XRP may still avoid a deeper breakdown into the “grey box” supply zone, the short-term trajectory remains bearish until momentum resets.

After what seemed like a strong start to September, the Bitcoin price is pretty much back where it began the month. With the historically bullish “Uptober” now in sight, investors are hoping that the premier cryptocurrency will be able to find some relief and perhaps enjoy some upward momentum in the coming weeks. However, the latest on-chain revelation suggests that the Bitcoin price is at risk of further downward pressure over the next few weeks. According to a prominent analyst on social media platform X, the market leader has fallen below a crucial level, which could trigger a further 10% price drawdown. BTC To Enter ‘Correction Process’ In Next 2-3 Months? On-chain analyst Burak Kesmeci took to the X platform to share an update on the Bitcoin price in relation to the Short-Term Holder (STH)’s Realized Price. According to the crypto pundit, the BTC price has now broken beneath the STH Realized Price—around $111,500—for the fourth time this year. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run Is Over? These Signals Show Where The Market Is At For context, the Short-Term Holder Realized Price is a metric that estimates the average price at which Bitcoin short-term investors (holding for less than 115 days) purchased their coins. Because it represents the average cost basis of this relevant investor cohort, the STH Realized Price often acts as a dynamic support and resistance level. Kesmeci revealed that the Bitcoin price had previously fallen below the STH Realized Price three times so far during this bull run, which started in November 2022. According to the on-chain analyst, the market leader entered a consolidation phase when this happened the past three times. In the first incident of BTC slipping beneath STH Realized Price, the Bitcoin price witnessed an over 8% decline between August and October 2023. Meanwhile, the flagship cryptocurrency’s value declined by more than 13% between June 2024 and October 2024 in the second occurrence. Most recently, the market leader dipped almost 8% between February and April 2025 when the Bitcoin price fell below the STH Realized Price. Kesmeci highlighted that, on average, these consolidation phases lasted 77 days and each resulted in an almost 10% loss in BTC’s value. Kesmeci concluded that the Bitcoin price could enter a consolidation/correction phase if it does close the week and perhaps the month beneath the STH Realized Price around $111,500. And if history does repeat itself, investors could see the market lose as much as 10% over the next two to three months. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $109,538, reflecting no significant change in the past 24 hours.

According to reports, XRP is trading near $2.78 as markets head toward the year-end, with less than 100 days left until 2026. The token slipped more than 10% in the last week, a pullback that comes after stronger showings earlier this year. Related Reading: XRP Eyeing Explosive Move In Next Few Months, Research Shows Traders and analysts are watching a mix of on-chain signals and community chatter for clues about whether XRP can push into higher price tiers before the calendar flips. Community Predicted Targets Social media has become the loudest forum for price calls. One long-time Bitcoin investor active since 2013, who posts as Pumpius, put a $25 target on XRP before 2026 — a move that would mean over nine-fold gains from current levels. #XRP to $25 before 2026 https://t.co/7GMFJ9psR9 — Pumpius (@pumpius) September 24, 2025 Other voices have offered different ceilings: Alex Cobb has floated $22 by December, some expect $10, while a few see at least $5 as a nearer-term milestone. A handful of commenters even suggested figures above $30, tying those hopes to potential ETF flows. Replies on the thread ranged from bullish cheers to reminders to aim for smaller wins first, like cracking $4. ETF Interest And Market Flows Based on reports, optimism around potential XRP ETFs is a core driver behind the larger forecasts. Executives such as the CEO of Canary Capital have suggested that ETFs could open the door to billions of dollars of new inflows. That thesis has brought new life to bull cases and provided momentum to speculation about double-digit prices. Meanwhile, market behavior has been mixed: XRP had its strong periods in January and once more in July, yet momentum was lost thereafter, leaving traders hesitant as they balance ETF optimism with subsequent price weakness. Trading Behavior And On-Chain Signals XRP is seen to have a lower dormancy rate than Bitcoin and Ethereum in recent chain data. That indicates the units of XRP change hands more frequently, which generally means active usage — payments, transfers, and liquidity trades. Reports indicate that Bitcoin’s higher dormancy corresponds with a stronger “store of value” mental attitude, whereas Ethereum’s dormancy corresponds with developer and DeFi activity. XRP’s active circulation fits Ripple’s long-stated push to make the token a bridge asset for payments, rather than a coin mainly held for long-term gains. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bullish Again? $10 Million Stock Buyback Sparks Fresh Price Hopes Dormancy Signals And Implications If transactional use continues to rise, it may help XRP build a case as a utility-driven asset. But higher movement alone does not guarantee price appreciation. Accumulation patterns also matter: assets that are hoarded tend to build scarcity narratives that can support higher valuations. Analysts and investors will likely watch whether greater on-chain use is matched by fresh buying pressure, including from institutional products, before updating their long-term views.

The price of Bitcoin has been under intense bearish pressure over the past week, falling below the $110,000 mark on Thursday, September 25. While the premier cryptocurrency has managed to stop bleeding in the past day, the BTC price has struggled to reclaim the psychological $110,000 level. Interestingly, the latest readings of a technical analysis indicator suggest that the Bitcoin price might have just reached a bottom and could be ready for a rebound. Has The Bitcoin Price Reached A Bottom? In a September 26 post on the X platform, a crypto analyst named after the renowned economist Frank Fetter revealed that the price of Bitcoin might have just entered a buy zone. This price projection is based on the relative strength index (RSI) indicator on the daily BTC price chart. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bullish Again? $10 Million Stock Buyback Sparks Fresh Price Hopes The relative strength index is a momentum indicator used in technical price analysis to assess the magnitude and speed at which an asset’s price changes. The RSI oscillator is usually used to analyze whether a crypto asset (Bitcoin, in this case) is being overbought or oversold, suggesting a possible price or trend reversal. When the relative strength index breaks above 70, it typically indicates an overbought market condition, with the asset’s price likely to face selling pressure. Meanwhile, an RSI value below 30 implies that the market is in an oversold condition, with price on the verge of a potential rebound. According to Fetter, the Bitcoin relative strength index on the daily chart has fallen to its lowest level since the April price bottom of $74,000. This price downturn, which was triggered by the tariff war between the United States and China, saw the RSI oscillator fall beneath the 30 threshold in March. Since bottoming out at the $74,000 mark and the RSI low in April, the Bitcoin price has since gone on to set multiple all-time highs. If history is anything to go by, there is a chance that the flagship cryptocurrency could find support at its current price and run up to a new high. As of this writing, BTC is valued at around $109,331, reflecting a mere 0.2% jump in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency is down by more than 5% on the weekly timeframe. Crypto Market Enters ‘Fear’ Zone The crypto Fear & Greed Index is another signal suggesting a buy opportunity in the Bitcoin market at the moment. According to the latest on-chain data from Alphractal, this metric has dropped to 28, signaling strong fear amongst digital asset investors. Related Reading: The Mobility Advantage: Why Bitcoin’s Portability Makes It Superior To Traditional Gold Meanwhile, the Fear & Greed Index of the stock market is at a neutral level, meaning that pessimism has yet to hit the traditional markets.

Market expert Tony Severino has raised some concerns with the current Bitcoin price action on the weekly chart. This comes as the flagship crypto trades below $110,000, with predictions that it could further drop below the psychological $100,000 level. Bitcoin Price Forms Bearish Pattern On Weekly Chart Severino revealed in an X post that the Bitcoin price is potentially forming an Evening Star pattern on the weekly chart, something he is wary of. He noted that this pattern is forming right at the Bollinger Band basis line, at around $111,600, during the tightest BB squeeze in BTC’s history. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run Is Over? These Signals Show Where The Market Is At The market expert had earlier revealed that the Bitcoin price’s weekly Bollinger Bands are officially the tightest in the entire history of BTCUSD price action. Essentially, BTC is currently trading within a tight range, indicating low volatility. Severino’s accompanying chart shows that the upper BB is at around $122,000, the basis BB is at $111,600, while the lower BB is at $101,000. Meanwhile, the Evening Star pattern suggests that the bears are taking control from the bulls, putting the Bitcoin price at risk of a further downtrend. With the Bollinger bands being this tight, Severino may be cautious of how this could lead to a BTC decline to the lower BB basis. Crypto analyst Bob Loukas confirmed that the bears are in control and indicated that BTC could still drop below $100,000. He noted that the Bitcoin price is looking to print its Weekly Cycle Low, although he opined that BTC is holding up well despite the current downtrend. The analyst declared that a rally to $118,000 will confirm the start of a new cycle. Until then, the bears will remain in control. His accompanying chart showed that the flagship crypto could risk dropping below $100,000 during this period when the bears are in control. However, in the long run, Loukas still expects the Bitcoin price to rally to as high as $140,000. BTC Needs To Reclaim $116,300 Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also warned that the Bitcoin price needs to reclaim $116,300 or risk dropping as low as $94,334 based on the Pricing Bands. He had earlier stated that $107,200 is the crucial support for Bitcoin. The analyst claimed that a drop below that support level would put $100,000 or even $93,000 in play. Related Reading: These Analysts Predicted The Bitcoin Price Crash And Their Forecasts Say It’s Not Over Meanwhile, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto noted that the Bitcoin price has broken below the trendline at $110,000. He remarked that confirmation is still needed and that the lagging span must follow to validate this bearish move. However, the analyst is one of those who doesn’t believe that BTC has topped, noting that the market is in a period of fear and that this has never marked the cycle top. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $109,600, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
