The weekly chart for Dogecoin shows a signal that could be of greater significance due to its rarity. Crypto analyst Cryptollica pointed to DOGE’s weekly RSI tagging roughly 33.6 and claimed that level has shown up only four times in 11 years. “DOGE WEEKLY RSI. 4 times in 11 years ..,” he posted. What This Means For The Dogecoin Price DOGE, for context, was trading around $0.129 at the time of writing, down roughly mid-single digits on the day. The hook is simple: a weekly RSI that low usually means sellers have been in control for a while — and on a weekly timeframe, that kind of pressure tends to carry more weight than intraday noise. This isn’t “RSI brushed 30 on a 15-minute candle.” It’s slower, heavier, and tied to the bigger trend. Still, it’s not quite as plug-and-play as the screenshot makes it look. Cryptollica’s point is that the same zone showed up around (1) early May 2015, (2) March 2020, (3) mid-June 2022, and (4) now. The post is the spark; what traders actually care about is what happened next. And this is where Dogecoin’s history gets… very Dogecoin. Related Reading: Dogecoin Holds Demand Zone Above $0.13, What A Bounce Would Do On May 6, 2015, DOGE was quoted around $0.000087. Beyond the price being basically dust, the backdrop was messy: weeks earlier, Dogecoin co-founder Jackson Palmer said he was stepping away from the crypto community, calling out what he described as a “toxic” culture. The bounce didn’t show up on schedule. DOGE drifted for a long time, then later caught the 2017–18 mania, briefly touching $0.017 on Jan. 7, 2018. From roughly $0.000087, that’s about +19,000% to that local-cycle high — a good reminder that “oversold” on a weekly chart can show up early and still end up pointing the right way. In mid-March 2020 (peak COVID panic), DOGE traded around $0.001537. When the panic eased and liquidity returned to markets, DOGE went on to print its next cycle top at $0.7316 on May 8, 2021. That’s roughly +47,000% from the March 2020 level to the 2021 high. It’s also the stretch where DOGE stopped being “just” a joke coin and started behaving like a retail risk-on barometer — with Musk-era attention pouring gasoline on it. By mid-June 2022, the bear-market washout was in full effect. DOGE was around $0.053. The recovery came in waves: a late-2022 pop tied to Musk/Twitter speculation and broader risk-on bursts, then a bigger 2024 meme-led rip. Related Reading: Can Dogecoin Really Fall To $0.05 In 2026? This Analyst Thinks So By March 28, 2024, DOGE was back around $0.220 — roughly +315% from the June 2022 level to the next notable local high. Not 2021-level insanity, but still a real multi-x. And now, as of Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, Dogecoin was changing hands around $0.129. The “signal” crowd will look at that weekly RSI print and argue the market is back in the same psychological neighborhood as those prior exhaustion points. The bullish case writes itself: if this weekly RSI zone has tended to show up near seller fatigue in the past, then seeing it again could mean risk/reward is quietly shifting. Not a promise — more like a reason to stop ignoring DOGE and start watching it. But RSI isn’t a timing tool. Oversold can stay oversold. Weekly signals can hang around, whip traders around, or get flattened if broader risk keeps leaking. For now, it’s a setup, not an outcome. If DOGE starts reclaiming levels and holding them, the “rare signal” crowd will take the victory lap. If it keeps bleeding, this gets filed under interesting, early, and painful — like a lot of trading ideas. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.12878.

Crypto analyst Dark Defender has been one of the most vocal supporters of XRP, and this stance has not changed despite the altcoin’s current price action. If anything, the analyst believes that the current downtrend actually plays into the XRP long-term target, claiming that the cryptocurrency remains inherently bullish. If the analyst is right, then it means that the XRP price could be gearing up for another major uptrend that could send it to new peaks. XRP Price Is Only In Wave 4, Not A Bear Market In the post that was shared on X, Dark Defender explained that the XRP cryptocurrency was not in any kind of bear market. Instead, the current downtrend is only a result of the altcoin entering Wave 4 of the Elliot Wave, leading to the decline. Related Reading: Can Bitcoin Price Still Hit $140,000? What The Global M2 Money Supply Says Given that Wave 4 is a historically bearish wave, it would explain why the XRP price has dropped so quickly. However, the crypto analyst explained that this wave did not just start, as it has been in play since February 2025. Hence, it would need to play out completely before the next wave can begin. Going by this analysis, it would mean that the last and final wave of the theory is yet to play out, which is often the most bullish of all the waves. As a result, the analyst urges XRP investors not to panic as the price continues to play out according to plan. In the end, the target remains $5.85, according to Dark Defender, beating its previous all-time high of $3.8. Price Could Be Rounding A Bottom Another analyst also contributes that the XRP price is not in a bear market, and could, in fact, be putting in a bottom. STEPH IS CRYPTO points out that the XRP RSI is actually showing a rare bullish divergence on the daily chart, one of the few times that this has happened over the years. Related Reading: Why Did The Bitcoin, Ethereum, And XRP Prices Crash, And Will It Continue? This is significant because back in 2022, a similar bullish divergence had appeared on the daily chart ,and the result was a rapid rise once the distribution was done. As the crypto analyst explains, the fact that this bullish RSI divergence has appeared on the XRP daily chart again suggests that the sellers are actually running out of steam. While there is no set target for where the XRP price is headed, the prediction suggests that a rally could be in the works. “Nothing is guaranteed — but from a technical perspective, this is one of the strongest early reversal signals you can get,” the analyst stated.

Data shows Bitcoin has witnessed a notable amount of gains during the US trading session in December so far, a shift compared to the November trend. Bitcoin Has Performed The Best During US Trading Session This Month As explained by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in a new post on X, the American trading session has flipped for Bitcoin in December. Below is the chart shared by Maartunn, which compares the returns that BTC has achieved across the different trading sessions over the past month. The trading sessions here have been divided based on when investors of a major market are typically active. Bitcoin and other blockchain-based assets run 24/7, so there naturally isn’t ever a time in any timezone where trading is inactive. However, investors do still tend to trade more actively during their daytime, which is what these sessions are based on. From the chart, it’s visible that cumulative Bitcoin returns were negative for the American trading session during the last couple of weeks of November. Europe and Asia-Pacific didn’t perform much better, but they at least saw close to neutral returns. Related Reading: Cardano SuperTrend Turns Bearish—Last Signal Preceded 80% ADA Drop Toward the end of November, though, a shift began to take shape, with returns during US hours going up. And in this month of December so far, the trading session has pulled away from the rest, with cumulative returns sitting at a positive 8%. In contrast, Europe and Asia-Pacific have the metric at a level of around -4% or lower. Thus, if the cumulative returns during these sessions are anything to go by, it would appear that American investors have been participating in Bitcoin accumulation this month, while the others have been distributing or simply, not buying. In some other news, the Bitcoin selloff last month caused a key on-chain indicator to go through its largest negative change in years, as quant Frank has pointed out in an X post. The metric displayed in the chart is the Realized Price of the Bitcoin short-term holders. This indicator measures the average cost basis of investors on the BTC network. The version listed in the graph specifically tracks the cost basis of short-term holders (STHs), entities who entered the market over the last 155 days. As is visible in the chart, the Bitcoin STH Realized Price saw a notable decline alongside the price crash in the cryptocurrency during November. This suggests investors who bought at higher levels panic capitulated, repricing their coins to the lower post-plunge levels.

Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a 4% drop, falling below the $86,000 mark on Monday, as market speculation grows regarding the cryptocurrency’s future following the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) interest rate decision. In a recent poll conducted from December 2 to 9, an overwhelming 90% of economists—63 out of 70—predicted that the BOJ would increase short-term interest rates from 0.50% to 0.75% at this week’s planned meeting. Experts Warn Of Impact From BOJ Rate Hikes Experts on social media have noted a concerning trend: during the last three rate hikes by the BOJ, Bitcoin has typically dropped significantly. The statistics reveal the following declines: a 23% drop in March 2024, a 26% decline in July 2024, and a 31% dip in January of this year. Related Reading: Why XRP Isn’t Reacting to Major Institutional and Regional Developments Based on current prices just below $86,000, this would imply that if the cryptocurrency sees another 20% correction, it could drop all the way to 68,800. This would mean extending the gap compared to the all-time high of $126,000 by almost 46%. The group of experts further highlighted that the dynamics at play in Japan significantly impact Bitcoin’s performance as Japan holds the largest amount of US debt of any nation. When Japanese interest rates rise, capital tends to flow back to Japan, leading to reduced liquidity in dollars. This decrease in dollar liquidity often results in the selling of riskier assets like Bitcoin. On November 30, a foreboding sign of this potential downturn appeared when confirmation of Japan’s impending rate hike caused Bitcoin to dip to around $83,000, erasing approximately $200 billion from the overall cryptocurrency market. However, the bearish sentiment affecting Bitcoin is not solely the result of Japan’s actions. Market analyst known as NoLimit recently pointed to another critical factor: China’s renewed crackdown on Bitcoin mining. China’s Mining Crackdown Spurs Bitcoin Sell-Off The analyst recently asserted that China has tightened regulations, particularly affecting operations in Xinjiang, where a significant number of crypto mining setups were shut down in December. This led to the abrupt offline status of roughly 400,000 miners. The repercussions of such a sudden shift in mining activity are already evident. The Bitcoin network hashrate has fallen by about 8%, indicating that fewer miners are actively contributing to the network. NoLimit suggests that this sudden reduction creates immediate revenue-loss for miners, who may need to liquidate Bitcoin to cover operational costs or to relocate their equipment. Consequently, this generates actual selling pressure on the market, contributing to the downward price trend seen on Monday. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Compression Deepens as Analysts Debate if the Next Move Is a Rally or Breakdown Despite the short-term pain this creates, the analysts clarified that it does not indicate a long-term bearish outlook for Bitcoin. Instead, he views it as a temporary supply shock driven by regulatory decisions rather than a shift in demand. Historical patterns support this notion: when China has previously cracked down on miners, the cycle follows a familiar trajectory: miners are forced offline, hashrate dips occur, prices fluctuate, and eventually, the network adapts before Bitcoin moves forward again.

Monday, 15 December 2025 – Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) has reached $29.5 million in presale capital, driven by a strategy that addresses one of Bitcoin’s most persistent constraints without making any changes to Bitcoin itself. With BTC dipping below $90,000, it’s becoming clearer that Bitcoin’s valuation has long been powered more by conviction than by real transactional use. That limitation is increasingly difficult to ignore. Bitcoin Hyper aims to remove that barrier by creating an environment where BTC can actually move, be used, and scale in real economic activity. Rather than attempting to modify Bitcoin Hyper is built alongside it. Bitcoin remains unchanged as the ultimate settlement layer, while the functions it was never meant to handle are moved off-chain. Transaction execution takes place in a fast, flexible ecosystem, finally giving applications the space they need to operate efficiently. This architecture is what’s driving investor interest in HYPER, the token positioned at the core of Bitcoin’s shift from a passive store of value into an active economic system. That opportunity is still open for a limited time. HYPER is currently priced at $0.013425, but that price is only available for the next five hours before the following presale phase begins. Six Figures Reveal Bitcoin’s Next Challenge As 2025 approaches its end, the year is set to be remembered for the moment Bitcoin firmly crossed into six-figure price levels. However, the recent pullback has reignited a more uncomfortable debate: can Bitcoin’s role as a store of value alone continue to support further price growth? That uncertainty is no longer limited to crypto circles and is beginning to appear in traditional financial markets. Strategy is facing mounting scrutiny as index providers review whether its substantial Bitcoin exposure still warrants inclusion in major benchmarks, including the MSCI indices. Analysts at JPMorgan have cautioned that any potential removal could result in billions of dollars exiting through passive investment funds. Meanwhile, Strategy’s stock has declined significantly more than Bitcoin itself and is now trading much closer to the underlying value of its BTC holdings, rather than maintaining the premium that investors previously attributed to its treasury-focused approach. MSCI $MSTR DE-LISTING FEAR MONGERING: THE $2.8 BILLION LIE First: Strategy is at ZERO risk of being delisted from other indices. Second: J.P.

I assessed… pic.twitter.com/NszHcnYt69 — Adrian (@_Adrian) November 25, 2025 Scarcity alone may no longer be sufficient to keep pushing Bitcoin’s price upward. For the market to reclaim and hold six-figure levels and eventually move beyond previous highs the network needs a new driver of demand. Bitcoin’s base layer was deliberately engineered to be lean, cautious, and resistant to change. It functions as a neutral settlement layer, placing security and verifiability above every other consideration. That conservative design is exactly what has allowed Bitcoin to operate reliably for more than a decade. However, this same philosophy also imposes a limitation. If Bitcoin must stay simple by design, then advanced execution and functionality must exist outside of it. There is effectively no alternative approach. This is precisely the space Bitcoin Hyper is designed to occupy. Execution is handled in a separate ecosystem, while Bitcoin continues to serve as the ultimate source of settlement and truth. Bitcoin’s Design Prioritized Simplicity by Choice Bitcoin was built as a form of money that cannot be altered, diluted, or controlled by any government, corporation, or small group of actors. Achieving that goal required a system engineered to be resilient above all else, even if it meant giving up speed and adaptability. This is why Bitcoin depends on the stark simplicity of SHA-256. It is a one-way cryptographic function that avoids complexity and specialization, yet performs its role with unmatched reliability. Verification is fast and straightforward, while reversal is effectively impossible and this imbalance is what underpins Bitcoin’s security model. FUN FACT: Bitcoin runs on SHA256—a one-way cryptographic function. It’s what secures your sats with trillions of hashes per second. Want to see how unbreakable that really is?Watch this ???? pic.twitter.com/SQ6iPGu918 — Simply Bitcoin (@SimplyBitcoin) April 24, 2025 Think of Bitcoin as the foundation. You don’t drill into bedrock every time you want to expand a structure you build on top of it, because the strength underneath is what supports everything above. From the beginning, Bitcoin’s base layer was deliberately kept simple and conservative. By minimizing moving parts, it reduced attack vectors, limited governance risk, and ensured the system could be verified by anyone without relying on complicated logic. That discipline is a key reason Bitcoin remains the most secure and decentralized network in the crypto space. Still, bedrock isn’t meant to be lived in it’s meant to support what’s built above it. Advanced features were never intended to operate on Bitcoin’s base layer, and forcing them there would erode the very attributes that give Bitcoin its value. This is exactly why Bitcoin Hyper exists. It adds a layer above Bitcoin where advanced functionality can operate without modifying the underlying chain. That execution layer is powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), pulling execution away from Bitcoin’s slower base layer and placing it into an environment optimized for speed and scalability. Transactions become fast and inexpensive, and complexity is no longer a limiting factor. The result is more than simple “hybrid applications” it represents a deeper structural change. Bitcoin is no longer static. BTC moves through DeFi, gaming, and real economic use cases at Solana-level speeds, while final settlement still resolves back on Bitcoin. Fast at the top, immutable at the core. The Infrastructure Play Powering Bitcoin’s Next Phase: HYPER The Bitcoin Hyper framework is built around a single objective that Bitcoin itself has never achieved at scale: enabling BTC to function in everyday economic use. Within the Bitcoin Hyper environment, applications are designed to use Bitcoin directly as the means of exchange. Participation requires BTC, not a substitute or wrapper. That is where the dynamic begins to change. When applications depend on BTC to operate, demand shifts away from pure speculation or macro-driven narratives and becomes embedded in actual usage. Bitcoin starts to resemble an active currency circulating through an ecosystem, rather than idle collateral sitting on the sidelines. However, Bitcoin Hyper is doing more than expanding BTC’s utility. It also introduces an economic layer reminiscent of the early opportunities that first-generation Bitcoin supporters experienced. This execution layer requires energy to operate, and that role is fulfilled by HYPER. The seat is optional. Hyper carries the whole ecosystem anyway. ⚡️????https://t.co/VNG0P4GuDo pic.twitter.com/lNbiunomew — Bitcoin Hyper (@BTC_Hyper2) December 10, 2025 HYPER functions as the network’s gas token, enabling transactions across the system, while also serving as the staking asset that contributes to network security and the governance token that guides its long-term direction. It is the mechanism through which growth at the execution layer is captured. This is why the presale has already attracted more than $29.5 million, with investors positioning themselves early around the infrastructure they believe Bitcoin will need to sustain its next phase of growth. At the current presale price of $0.013425, many see HYPER as reflecting early-stage development risk rather than the valuation of a fully operational ecosystem. How to Purchase HYPER To acquire HYPER, visit the official Bitcoin Hyper website and complete your purchase using SOL, ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB, or a credit card. Bitcoin Hyper also recommends using Best Wallet, a widely used crypto and Bitcoin wallet. HYPER is already listed in Best Wallet’s Upcoming Tokens section, allowing users to buy, monitor, and later claim their tokens once the launch goes live. You can also join the wider Bitcoin Hyper community by following the project on Telegram and X.

JPMorgan Asset Management has introduced a tokenized money-market fund built on the Ethereum blockchain, according to company filings and industry reports. The fund, called My OnChain Net Yield Fund (MONY), issues shares as digital tokens that live on the public Ethereum network and are aimed at qualified investors through the bank’s Morgan Money platform. Related Reading: Analyst: Bitcoin’s Cycle Is Intact, Yet No Longer Purely Market-Driven JPMorgan Issues Tokenized Fund On Ethereum Based on reports, MONY holds familiar, low-risk instruments such as US Treasury securities and repurchase agreements fully backed by Treasuries. The bank says the token shares represent direct ownership of the fund and can be held at blockchain addresses, opening up on-chain settlement and recordkeeping for a product that normally sits in traditional custody systems. Seeded With $100 Million Reports have disclosed that JPMorgan seeded MONY with $100 million of its own capital at launch. The move is meant to kickstart liquidity and show institutional seriousness about putting cash management products on-chain. The tokenization work is being handled by internal teams tied to JPMorgan’s digital-assets efforts, and the bank has been testing ways to move conventional securities into token form for several years. How The Tokens Work And Who Can Use Them Investors receive tokenized fund shares that may be transferred or recorded on Ethereum. Based on reports, access is limited: the fund is offered only to qualified clients via Morgan Money, not to the general retail public. The token structure mirrors traditional fund economics — holders are exposed to the same short-term instruments that underpin money-market products — but the record of ownership is stored on a public ledger. Related Reading: Bitcoin Headed For $200 Trillion? CEO Makes Bold Prediction Qualified Investors And Access According to coverage, institutional clients with asset levels above $25 million and accredited individuals with at least $5 million are among those eligible, and the minimum initial investment sits at roughly $1 million. That narrow access aligns with regulatory guardrails for tokenized securities and with the bank’s goal of serving big, sophisticated cash managers first. Analysts say the launch is part of a broader push by big asset managers to experiment with tokenized share classes and on-chain settlement. Other firms have run pilots with similar ideas, and some have already put cash-like products on Ethereum. Based on reports, the move points to an industry desire to test whether blockchain can speed up settlement, increase transparency, or create new on-chain liquidity for institutional cash flows.
