In livestream that stretched beyond the hour‑mark, technical analyst Kevin (Kev Capital TA) laid out the most compelling bullish case for Dogecoin since the meme‑coin’s April lows. Speaking to a cross‑platform audience, Kevin argued that the market is standing “right on the verge of a genuine altcoin season,” and that the textbook double‑bottom visible on Dogecoin’s higher‑time‑frame chart positions the asset for what he called “a monster move” once resistance levels yield. Dogecoin Chart Turns Bullish Kevin began by situating Dogecoin inside a broader macro chessboard. This week’s cascade of inflation data—CPI and PPI prints bracketed by near‑continuous Federal Reserve commentary—could inject volatility, he conceded, but the direction of trend is already set by structural forces. “Trueflation is sitting at 1.71 percent,” he noted, adding that the crowdsourced gauge routinely prints about sixty to seventy basis points beneath official Bureau of Labor Statistics data. “Anything under two is good. It means inflation isn’t the story.” Related Reading: Fibonacci Maps Dogecoin Path To $23—Is It Too Far-Fetched? With macro risks in check, his focus narrowed to USDT dominance, the metric he has used all cycle to time rotations into riskier assets. Tether’s market‑share chart has completed a bear‑flag breakdown and is now pressing the 0.786 Fibonacci support band at roughly 4.14 percent. “When money‑flow is deep red on USDT‑D, that’s the green light for altcoins,” he said, emphasising that fresh downside in the stablecoin gauge would coincide almost mechanically with upside in DOGE. A hotter‑than‑expected CPI could deliver a short, counter‑trend bounce in USDT‑D, “but the path of least resistance is lower,” he insisted. The anchor for Kevin’s bullish thesis is an unmistakable double‑bottom on Dogecoin’s weekly chart that formed exactly on the macro 0.382 retracement of the 2024–25 advance and directly atop a multi‑year down‑trend line. “Flip the chart upside‑down,” he told viewers, “and you’d run from it—it looks like a perfect double‑top. Flip it back and it’s a gift.” Volume profiles confirm the pattern: sellers exhausted themselves on the second dip, while relative‑strength momentum created a higher low, an early signal that bulls are wresting control. Kevin’s conviction draws added weight from what is unfolding in the aggregate altcoin indices. Total 3—market‑cap ex‑Bitcoin and ex‑Ether—has slammed into a resistance “yellow box” that capped rallies all spring, yet the analyst believes the ceiling will crack soon. A pending daily golden cross on Total 2 (market‑cap ex‑Bitcoin) marks the fourth of the cycle; each prior cross generated a brief pullback of 9‑19 percent before giving way to fresh highs. “Golden crosses are lagging, so you manage risk here—pay yourself a little—but the trend is higher once the dust settles,” he said. For Dogecoin specifically, Kevin identified a hierarchy of breakout objectives: the local range high at $0.21, the $0.48 pivot from 2024, and the former all‑time high near $0.74. Beyond that he flagged extensions at $1.32 and $2.00, noting that targets lose utility if projected too far in advance. “We analyse the here and now; we let the chart earn the next level,” he cautioned, before reminding newcomers that DOGE is already a ten‑bagger off its June 2024 trough—a feat matched by few large‑cap tokens. Related Reading: Dogecoin To $3.94 This Cycle? This Chart Says It’s No Meme While audience questions repeatedly drifted towards Elon Musk and X and Tesla integration rumors, Kevin waved off the cult of personality. “Dogecoin doesn’t need Elon,” he said bluntly. The meme‑coin’s 10× rebound happened “with zero help from the world’s richest man,” and any future endorsement would likely serve as accelerant rather than spark. What matters, in his view, is liquidity: specifically, the Federal Reserve’s balance‑sheet trajectory and the timing of its eventual pivot away from quantitative tightening. “When QT ends, Bitcoin dominance tops. Then you get the real alt‑season,” he said, pointing to a perfect inverse correlation between Fed asset‑runoff periods and historical altcoin booms. Ending the session, the analyst projected that a decisive weekly close above Bitcoin’s 1.886 fib at $120,000—and a simultaneous rollover in USDT dominance—would ignite the next leg. In that scenario, Dogecoin’s double‑bottom would evolve into a full trend‑reversal, vaulting price into territory last visited during the meme‑mania of 2021. “You haven’t seen anything yet,” he concluded. “Stay calm, stay cool, and let the chart do the work.” At press time, DOGE traded at $0.19126.

Global investment bank TD Cowen has recently revised its price target for Strategy’s (previously MicroStrategy) stock, MSTR, raising it from $590 to $680 per share and a bullish prediction for Bitcoin (BTC) prices, which could soar to $155,000 by December. Possible 53% Drop For Bitcoin The firm’s study outlines a base-case scenario for Bitcoin at $128,000 by year-end, with a more pessimistic outlook placing it as low as $55,000, which could mean a major 53% crash from current prices. TD Cowen analysts assert that a significant increase in Bitcoin prices is expected to positively impact Strategy’s share price, given its status as the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst On July 14, Strategy purchased an additional 4,225 BTC for $472.5 million, averaging $111,827 per coin. This latest acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 601,550 BTC. Analysts at TD Cowen noted that what began as a defensive measure to preserve the value of its assets has evolved into a proactive strategy aimed at enhancing shareholder value. Strategy plans to continue acquiring Bitcoin through proceeds from upcoming debt and equity offerings. The firm anticipates that Strategy will raise around $84 billion through its innovative “42/42” plan, which involves an equal mix of debt and equity, potentially increasing its Bitcoin reserves to 900,000 BTC by the end of 2027. Strategy As Strong Investment Option TD Cowen has initiated buy ratings on Strategy’s preferred shares, emphasizing their attractive income potential and price appreciation, which are expected to be less volatile than common shares or Bitcoin itself. This endorsement comes after the firm first recognized Strategy’s Bitcoin strategy in 2023, describing it as a “paradigm shift.” At that time, they highlighted the company’s approach of utilizing cash from its software business to invest in Bitcoin as a long-term hedge against dollar inflation. Analysts believe that Bitcoin’s finite supply makes it a more reliable store of value compared to traditional currencies or gold, presenting Strategy as an appealing option for investors looking to gain Bitcoin exposure.

As institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies accelerates, Strategy’s acquisition strategy has become a blueprint for other corporate treasuries.

The latest report and Strategy’s recent purchase coincided with Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high, surpassing $123,000, underscoring the growing acceptance and adoption of BTC in the financial landscape. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency has retraced to $117,000 in an attempt to find its next support level before moving on to uncharted territory once again if buying demand persists among investors.

Bonk ($BONK) is on a tear, and it’s not slowing down. The token just extended its gains, building on a massive 20% rally from last week. The reason for all the excitement? Traders are pouring cash into it. The futures Open Interest (OI) for $BONK has shot up to a yearly high, showing a ton of new money is flooding the market. This kind of action is exactly what a rally needs to keep going. However, it’s not just about the trading numbers. The Solana ecosystem itself is doing great. Its launchpad, LetsBonk.fun, is raking in the cash. It’s collected a whopping $7.97M in just one week, completely outshining every other launchpad on Solana. That kind of success makes the overall mood around $BONK super bullish. What’s Next for the Price? The technical charts are looking good too. Bonk recently smashed through a key resistance level of $0.000024 and is now trading above $0.000027. If it can hold at that new level, the price could push on further. Here’s a heads-up for traders: the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a bit high at 76. That’s in the ‘overbought’ zone, so don’t be surprised if there’s a dip coming. However, don’t let that spook you; the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is still looking strong, with a clear bullish signal. Even if we see a small correction, the overall trend is still pointing up. If it does pull back, look for support around the $0.000024 mark. And while Bonk is having its moment in the sun, it’s also worth noting how the crypto space is evolving. The focus is shifting from simple meme coins to those that offer real utility. This is where a new project like Snorter Token ($SNORT) is getting a ton of buzz. It’s looking to be the next big thing by combining the fun of a meme coin with powerful trading tools. Snorter Token ($SNORT): Meme-Powered Utility Snorter Token ($SNORT) is making a name for itself in the crypto world. Unlike many other meme coins that rely solely on hype, $SNORT is a utility token at its core, powering the Snorter Bot. The Telegram-based trading bot is built to give both new and seasoned traders a serious edge. Its primary appeal is its ability to transform the Telegram app into a high-speed trading terminal. You can snipe hot new tokens as soon as they launch, execute quick swaps, and even copy trades of the top-performing wallets. $SNORT has already raised almost $1.9M in its presale and is offering 205% staking rewards, a clear sign that investors are recognizing its potential as one of the best meme coins. A Powerful Combination of Speed and Security Beyond its low fees and ease of use, the Snorter Bot is also designed with security in mind. The platform boasts an impressive 85% success rate in detecting ‘honeypot’ and ‘rug pull’ scams during its beta testing. In a market where new projects can often be high-risk, this built-in protection offers an added layer of security, helping you safeguard your funds and have confidence in one of the best crypto presales. Furthermore, Snorter isn’t just focused on Solana. Its roadmap includes plans to become a multi-chain token. It’s already expanded to Ethereum and has plans to integrate with BNB and Polygon. This strategy will increase its reach and utility, making it a valuable tool for traders across ecosystems. The combination of its fast execution, low fees, scam detection, and cross-chain capabilities makes $SNORT a project that’s not just riding a trend but building a foundation for long-term growth. You can buy $SNORT for $0.0983 in its presale. We predict it could make a high of $1.02 by the end of 2025, and if this is the case, early investors would see a 938% ROI. The Bigger Picture The success of projects like Bonk and the rise of utility tokens like $SNORT are clear indicators of a maturing crypto market. The focus is shifting from speculative assets to tangibility. Snorter Token, with its trading bot and presale success, embodies this direction. It’s an exciting time to be in crypto, but with any investment, it’s crucial you do your own research and understand the risks before committing funds.

In his June 14 video analysis, the market commentator CryptoInsightUK argued that XRP is on the verge of a “parabolic expansion” reminiscent of its performance in late 2017, contending that a price of $11 per token is attainable this cycle once Bitcoin finishes its latest impulse leg. The analyst built his case on a blend of historical fractals, liquidity-mapping, and derivatives-market data, concluding that “people are under-estimating where XRP is going to go this cycle.” Is $11 XRP Inevitable? CryptoInsightUK opened the session by noting that Bitcoin had just logged the highest weekly close in its history and that the total crypto-asset market capitalisation had set a record: “We got the highest ever close for total market cap as well now, and I’m looking to see this expansionary period.” With Bitcoin pushing into a “deep area of liquidity” on the daily chart but not yet reaching the next concentration of sell-side orders, he believes the set-up mirrors the early-November 2024 breakout that preceded a six-day, 31 percent surge. “Bitcoin’s done most of its move in the six days following the breakout,” he recalled, overlaying that sequence on today’s structure to infer that a similar window could open imminently. Related Reading: XRP Flashes Signal That Last Time Preceded A 464% Rally, Analyst Says For XRP, the key inflection lies a few cents above the psychological $3 mark. On the 15-minute chart, he observed that “XRP is starting to build some strong liquidity above us… up to about 3.10,” describing that overhead cluster as potential fuel for a decisive push. Although the token briefly touched $3.03 in intraday trading, repeated attempts have stalled just below resistance. The analyst juxtaposed this behaviour with the way XRP lagged Bitcoin during the 2024 breakout: the coin “stalls out a little bit” while Bitcoin rips, then “really catches up,” moving from roughly $0.70 to $2.70 in nineteen days, before extending to $3.30. Translating that fractal forward, he warned: “It’s not going to be exactly the same, but if it’s six to ten days [for Bitcoin]… what happens next? Altcoins take over.” He bolstered the thesis with derivatives metrics. During the last XRP rally, a flip from negative to positive contract premium coincided with a sharp rise in open interest. That pattern is repeating: “Premium actually went green… on an increase in open interest and that is happening again now.” Funding rates remain subdued, implying that shorts still constitute a meaningful share of outstanding positions; as price pressure builds, those shorts could be “squeezed to the downside,” providing what he called “really aggressive price action to the upside… pretty soon probably for XRP.” In his base case, an explosive move would coincide with Bitcoin reaching roughly $125,000, at which point capital rotation would funnel into XRP and other large-capitalisation altcoins. Related Reading: Pundit Reveals The Two Things That Will Drive XRP Price To All-Time Highs On higher-time-frame charts, the weekly close in the XRP/BTC pair reclaimed levels not seen since early March and printed what the analyst dubbed a “lovely green weekly candle,” propelling the pair through the resistance band tracked by trader CredibleCrypto’s so-called “Gandalf line.” XRP dominance, he argued, has completed a Wyckoff-style accumulation: the “sign of strength” and “last point of support” suggest a new up-leg is underway. Technical momentum is corroborated by a bullish cross forming in the XRP/ETH ratio on the weekly relative-strength index. The analyst conceded that timing remains uncertain and that elevated contract premiums can foreshadow long-side liquidation cascades, yet he maintained that the interplay between resurgent spot buying, rising open interest, and building liquidity clouds above $3 creates a self-reinforcing backdrop for a squeeze higher. “That is what I expect will come at some point,” he said, framing a breach of the all-time high as a trigger for acceleration toward his $11 objective. At press time, XRP traded at $2.8671. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
