XRP has finally broken above a major resistance zone, igniting fresh bullish momentum across the market. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bulls Eye $0.54 ‘Final Boss’ Breakout, Says Top Analyst After weeks of consolidation, the token closed above the $3.03–$3.08 range, a level that had capped gains for months. This decisive breakout has shifted sentiment, with traders now eyeing higher targets as momentum indicators flash green. XRP Market Performance Analysis The XRP Technical charts confirm the bullish setup. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed into favorable territory, hovering around 58, a level that historically precedes strong rallies. Volume has also spiked, reflecting growing buyer confidence. Analysts say this confluence of price action and momentum signals could pave the way for XRP’s next big move. Immediate resistance sits at $3.30, with further upside targets at $3.65 and $4.20. On the downside, support is clustered between $2.72 and $3.00, levels bulls must defend to keep the trend intact. XRP's price trends to the upside, but records a decline on short timeframes. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview ETF Speculation Adds Fuel, But Doubts Remain Adding to the buzz is renewed speculation around a potential XRP ETF. Supporters argue that Ripple’s partial legal clarity and XRP’s utility in cross-border payments make it a prime ETF candidate. An approval, they say, could unlock institutional inflows and trigger a powerful demand surge. However, skeptics caution that XRP’s regulatory status remains murky in several jurisdictions. Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP’s classification is still contested, raising doubts over whether an ETF is likely in the near future. Even if approval comes, some analysts argue that XRP’s utility-focused design may limit its appeal as a traditional investment vehicle. For now, ETF chatter remains speculative, but it has injected optimism into the XRP community as the token tests key levels. Whale Selling and Short-Term Pullbacks Despite the bullish setup, on-chain data shows that whales have offloaded over 160 million XRP in recent weeks. Historically, such large-scale selling reflects profit-taking and risk management by institutional players. Yet, XRP’s ability to stabilize around $3 despite this pressure signals strong retail demand. Short-term pullbacks have also been noted, with traders highlighting key support between $2.87 and $2.95. Analysts suggest these dips could provide entry points for bulls aiming for the next breakout above $3.30.

XRP is once again at the center of discussion as analysts set big targets for the token. Some predictions say XRP could reach $10 to $13 in the coming months and possibly $20 to $25 by the end of the year, depending on how market conditions unfold. What Could Drive XRP Higher? Bitcoin’s recent move …
Bitcoin has been the undisputed leader of the crypto market, but the balance of power is starting to shift. Recent market moves indicate that Bitcoin’s dominance is slipping as altcoins surge into the spotlight, driven by institutional interest and network upgrades. While Bitcoin remains the anchor of the digital asset space, altcoins are carving out their own narratives, and investors are beginning to take notice. Bitcoin Consolidates While Altcoin Captures Momentum In an X post, full-time crypto trader and investor, Daan Crypto Trades, has been observing a significant trend in the crypto space. Bitcoin’s dominance (BTC.D) is still trending lower, which shows that altcoins are currently outperforming the market leader. Related Reading: Bitcoin Dominance Falls Below Critical Level For The First Time This Cycle, Altcoin Season Coming? Daan points to the possibility of a crazy end-of-cycle run for altcoins, which could see BTC dominance drop to the 48-49% level. He notes that this is a level where he would personally consider scaling out of his altcoin positions more aggressively. While Daan sees the potential for a short-term drop in Bitcoin’s dominance, he remains bullish on BTC and ETH for the long term. The expert emphasizes that these two assets will always be his main long-term holdings, and doesn’t expect them to lose a significant amount of market share over the next decade. However, their market share will likely increase over time, but that doesn’t mean traders get to play some nice volatility in between. Analyst Fabdarice has highlighted a compelling trend from 2025 on-chain data. Ethereum whale holdings are rising, while Bitcoin whale balances continue to trend down. This divergence mirrors the surge in institutional demand for ETH and the growing recognition that Ethereum is emerging as a credible store of value, not just a utility asset. For the first time, ETH and BTC are being treated as equals on the institutional playing field. Bitcoin remains the original reserve asset of crypto, but Ethereum’s dual role as both infrastructure and wealth preservation is reshaping investor behavior. The ETH/BTC Ratio As A Market Sentiment Indicator Popular crypto commentator CryptosRus has also provided a key insight into the current state of the market by highlighting the significant disparity between Ethereum’s and Bitcoin’s performance relative to each other. CryptosRus pointed out that the ETH and BTC ratio hit its all-time high of 0.148 on June 12, 2017, fueled by the ICO-mania bull run. Related Reading: Ethereum As The Default Crypto Backbone: The Real Reason Behind Tom Lee’s Pick However, the expert observes that in 2025, the ETH/BTC ratio averaged a mere 0.027, showing how much ground Ethereum has lost against Bitcoin over the years. Despite ETH’s role as the backbone of DeFi and its growing institutional presence, it has yet to repeat that level of relative dominance. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst XForce has revealed that the Dogecoin price just broke a regional high, following its reclaim of the $0.3 level. In line with this, he predicted that the meme coin could rally to a new all-time high (ATH) and reach the psychological $1 level. Dogecoin Price Eyes 300% Rally To $1 Following Break Above Regional High In an X post, XForce predicted that the Dogecoin price could record a rally of over 300% to the psychological $1 level. This came as he noted that DOGE just broke above the previous regional high following its climb above $0.3 over the weekend. Based on this, the analyst declared that $1 is still programmed for the meme coin. Related Reading: The Dogecoin Bullish Reset: A Clear Roadmap To $0.35 XForce admitted that there will be pullbacks along the way, but he expects the Dogecoin price to reach this $1 level eventually. The analyst also drew attention to the alternative idea that could lead DOGE to double-digit prices if it continues as a strong impulse. His accompanying chart showed that the meme coin could rally to as high as $18. The Dogecoin price rallied over the weekend in anticipation of the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF, which will be the first fund to provide institutional investors with exposure to the foremost meme coin. This provides a bullish outlook for the meme coin, seeing as it could inject new liquidity into its ecosystem. Furthermore, the Fed is set to make the first rate cut this year at this week’s FOMC meeting, which could also be bullish for the Dogecoin price as it would boost risk-on sentiment. Amid this recent rally, crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto has also declared that the meme coin will reach $1 in this cycle. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that DOGE may consolidate for a bit around these levels before it makes its next leg up toward $0.45. Analyst Issues Warning On DOGE In an X post, crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto issued a warning on the Dogecoin price, noting that it is at the monthly supply at the moment. He further remarked that if DOGE isn’t breaking out, then it is technically just retesting the prior point of breakdown. Related Reading: What A Dogecoin ETF Approval Means For The Future Of Crypto CrediBULL Crypto stated that a great time to be bullish on the Dogecoin price and jump into longs was before this recent rally. Now, he believes that it is time to be more cautious, as this is the most likely place for DOGE to face a rejection and record lower highs if the bottom isn’t in yet. There is also the possibility that the meme coin could crash if the Fed rate cut and DOGE ETF launch turn out to be a ‘sell the news’ event. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.28, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
