Gert van Lagen says the macro structure of XRP has finally done the one thing it needed to do: break the neckline of a seven-year base and hold it. “XRP [2W] – Ripple is ready to rip. The 7-year double bottom has broken out at ❌ The neckline was successfully retested at ???? ATH cleared — first target near ~$34, at 2.00 fib. extension of double bottom. → Compare with 2014–2017 setup,” the analyst wrote. His chart is drawn on a logarithmic scale with two-week candles, framing the move as a multi-cycle reversal rather than a short-term pop. Could XRP Really Hit $34? The geometry is clear on the chart. A broad W-shaped base stretching from the 2018–2024 bear market carved twin lows in the sub-$0.20–$0.30 region, then returned to a horizontal neckline that sits just above the $2 handle. Van Lagen marks an initial breakout attempt with a red cross just over that barrier, followed by a decisive surge and a pullback that tags support around the $2 area, annotated with a blue dot. On a log chart, that textbook breakout-retest sequence is the confirmation step technicians typically look for before projecting targets. Price at the time of the snapshot is labeled $3.19 on the right axis, meaning XRP is trading above the neckline but still below the 2018 all-time high at $3.40. That placement matters because the prior macro cap now acts as support; staying north of roughly $2.00 keeps the double-bottom thesis intact. The measured arrow drawn from the neckline replicates the height of the base on a multiplicative (log) basis, which is why the upside extension leaps into the mid-double digits rather than adding only a few dollars. Related Reading: BlackRock Addresses Burning XRP ETF Question: Is A Filing Coming Or Not? Van Lagen’s first objective is derived explicitly from Fibonacci proportions. He sets the 2.00 extension of the double-bottom as the initial target, landing “near ~$34.” On his scale the projected path peaks above the $27 and $20 grid lines and briefly tags the mid-$30s before mean-reverting, consistent with how log-scale extensions translate when a long consolidation unwinds quickly. The left side of the graphic provides the historical rhyme he wants readers to notice. Between 2014 and 2017, XRP built a smaller double-bottom within a shaded accumulation zone, broke its neckline, retested it, and then accelerated vertically. Van Lagen marks that sequence with the same red cross at breakout and blue dot at the retest, plus a vertical measuring arrow to illustrate how the earlier base resolved. The current pattern, shaded across 2018–2025, repeats that choreography at a far larger scale. His sketch includes a time-and-price roadmap using twelve forward candles—two-week bars—implying a five- to six-month arc for the entire move if it were to echo the prior cycle. The first projected bar vaults XRP above $11. After three candles, the blue path tops out above $36, roughly six weeks into the run. Related Reading: XRP Price Could Explode To $3.8 Amid Trend Continuation The fourth candle traces a deep retracement back toward the $11 region, followed by a sharp recovery above $30 on the fifth. The next three candles stabilize around the $30 area before the path draws another slide to ~$11 and the onset of a cooling phase. The sequence is illustrative rather than prescriptive, but it visually anchors the extension math to possible market behavior. Whether XRP can follow the steep path sketched in blue is a separate question from whether the double-bottom has technically activated. Van Lagen’s chart answers the second with a yes: the breakout and retest sequence is complete. The first answer—delivery toward the ~$34 Fib extension—will be determined by how the next several two-week candles will look like. At press time, XRP traded at $3.14.

Майкл Сэйлор, известный сторонник Биткоина и сооснователь компании Strategy, снова использовал поп-культурный образ, чтобы продвинуть идею BTC в соцсетях. Он опубликовал сгенерированное ИИ изображение, на котором он предстает в роли Индианы Джонса внутри храма, напоминающего южноамериканский. Подпись к картинке гласила: “Я искал золото… и нашел кое-что лучше”. Коротко и по делу, пост повторяет давнюю мысль: Биткоин лучше золота. Сэйлор в стиле поп-культуры Судя по публикациям Сэйлора, это не разовая акция. Недавно он поделился еще одним ИИ-изображением, на котором предстал в образе Тайлера Дердена из фильма “Бойцовский клуб”. Визуалы простые, однако цепляющие, и они поддерживают Сэйлора в заголовках СМИ. По сообщениям, за этим креативом стоит и крупный корпоративный шаг, что объясняет, почему посты в соцсетях – больше, чем просто мемы. Согласно отчетам, 29 июля Strategy объявила о покупке 21 021 BTC примерно за $2,46 млрд. Эта сделка увеличила общий объем владения фирмы до 628 791 BTC. На момент объявления эти активы оценивались более чем в $70 млрд. Конкретные цифры такие: количество BTC фиксировано в реестре, а долларовая стоимость меняется в зависимости от рынка. BTCUSD сейчас торгуется по $118 768. Источник: TradingView Почему картинки имеют значение Эти изображения выполняют вполне понятную задачу. Они демонстрируют уверенность для инвесторов и подписчиков, а также направляют обсуждение в русло основной идеи Сэйлора: Биткоин превосходит золото как средство сохранения стоимости. Короткие сообщения быстро охватывают широкую аудиторию, а более развернутые публикации с фоном поддерживают интерес к истории. В отчетах поднимается еще один момент: использование ИИ-арта с заимствованием образов известных персонажей может затрагивать вопросы авторских прав и прав на изображение. Похоже, что эти посты не имеют официального отношения к киностудиям или правообладателям. Это может стать поводом для обсуждений, но не для немедленных действий. Кроме того, долларовая оценка, привязанная к Биткоину, будет колебаться вместе с рынком, поэтому указание количества BTC с датой дает читателям более точное представление. Согласно поданным документам и публичным сообщениям, факты просты: 29 июля Strategy приобрела 21 021 BTC и теперь владеет 628 791 биткоином. Изображение в стиле Индианы Джонса – это одновременно комментарий и маркетинговый ход. Оно привлекает внимание и напоминает, что современная корпоративная коммуникация сочетает финансы и шоу, но при этом базовые цифры – сколько BTC и когда были куплены – по-прежнему имеют первостепенное значение. TOKEN6900 объединяет истинный абсурд, любовь к криптовалютам и развлечения Тренды крипторынка, особенно в сегменте мем-монет, стремительно меняются: мемкоины уже завлекают инвесторов не ИИ-интеграциями и обещаниями реальной супер-полезности, а легкостью, долей абсурда и получением прибыли без особых усилий. В таком направлении движется проект TOKEN6900 – новая предпродажа июля с огромным потенциалом. За первые 4 дня предпродажи проект привлек более $150 000, а сейчас сборы составляют почти $2 млн! При стоимости одной монеты всего в $0.006925 это довольно впечатляющий результат. TOKEN6900 позиционирует себя как “паразит сознания” и “эталон brain rot finance”, честно заявляя: “мы отслеживаем не ВВП, нефть или прибыль, а высокую ликвидность”. И именно такая искренность привлекает массовую аудиторию! Аналитики прогнозируют десятикратный рост токену после его выхода на бирже – отличный способ заработать на ранних вложениях без сложных действий.

Blue Origin will now sell New Shepard spaceflight seats in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and selected dollar-pegged stablecoins through a new checkout integration with Shift4 (NYSE: FOUR), the payments company said in a Business Wire announcement. The integration is live and applies to upcoming commercial flights, adding crypto rails alongside traditional methods for one of the world’s best-known suborbital tourism offerings. Jeff Bezos Opens Blue Origin To Bitcoin, ETH, SOL Payments According to the joint release, customers “starting today” can pay for Blue Origin’s suborbital flights in BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT and USDC. Shift4 says the flow also supports direct connections to widely used self-custody and exchange wallets — “popular wallets like Coinbase and MetaMask” — enabling instant authorization and settlement on chain before conversion to US dollars on the merchant side. Shift4 framed the move as part of a broader push to reduce friction in high-value commerce. “Our mission has always been to revolutionize commerce by simplifying the transaction process,” CEO Taylor Lauber said, adding that the company is “thrilled to now extend that vision beyond Earth” and to offer a “simple, frictionless experience” for Blue Origin customers opting to pay in digital assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin-Money Supply Link Is A Myth, Glassnode Researcher Reveals The company emphasized three merchant benefits that have driven Bitcoin and crypto acceptance in other luxury verticals: tapping a growing base of crypto holders, enabling immediate international transactions, and achieving faster settlement in U.S. dollars at any time of day, seven days a week. Inside Shift4, the initiative is being led by the firm’s dedicated crypto unit. “Crypto is now a $4 trillion asset class,” said Alex Wilson, Shift4’s Head of Crypto, arguing that digital assets will become “an increasingly popular way for consumers to pay, particularly for high-end purchases,” where both buyer and seller can save on fees and delays relative to more complex cross-border card payments. Related Reading: $120K and Rising: What On-Chain Data Says About Bitcoin’s Next Move Blue Origin’s offering remains unchanged in terms of flight profile and vehicle: New Shepard is a reusable suborbital rocket-and-capsule system that carries passengers past the Kármán Line — roughly 100 kilometers above sea level — before returning to West Texas for capsule touchdown under parachutes. The company notes that “more than 75 humans” have already flown aboard New Shepard and highlights the vehicle’s panoramic crew-capsule windows, among the largest yet flown, for views of Earth during several minutes of microgravity. The companies did not disclose seat pricing or specific processing fees for Bitcoin and crypto transactions in today’s materials. It is also unclear if Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin converts the Bitcoin and crypto payments into US dollars. What is clear is the operational stance: Shift4 says crypto and stablecoin payments are available “immediately” for Blue Origin bookings, and directs prospective passengers to the program’s information page, which invites would-be travelers to become “one of the first 1000 people to fly to space.” Notably, Blue Origin has already flown one high-profile industry figure: TRON founder Justin Sun. He rode on August 3, 2025, as part of mission NS-34 alongside five other passengers, after first winning Blue Origin’s inaugural seat auction in 2021—a $28 million bid whose proceeds were distributed to 19 space-focused nonprofits through the company’s Club for the Future.
