Bitcoin may be setting up for another major push toward six-figure prices after reclaiming a key bullish pattern and ending a period of repeated downside deviations. According to well-known crypto analyst Rekt Capital, the recent move puts BTC back in position to aim for the $160,000 target, provided it can hold a crucial support level and break through evolving resistance. While short-term pullbacks are still possible, the broader technical picture remains intact. Historical price behavior suggests Bitcoin is still in a strong upward trend, but time and price pressures could soon force a decision point for the market. Bitcoin Bull Flag Breakout Revives Long-Term Bullish Outlook Rekt Capital’s latest analysis highlights that Bitcoin not only reclaimed its Bull Flag pattern but has positioned itself above it. This is an essential shift because a few weeks ago, BTC failed to confirm its breakout when it couldn’t hold the Bull Flag top. That earlier miss left the pattern unresolved and kept the market uncertain about the next big move. Related Reading: Raoul Pal Says He’s Been Long XRP For 4 Years After Calling It A “Moron” Trade By holding the $119,000 level as new support, BTC can confirm the breakout and solidify the foundation for a rally. The analyst cautions that the price could still dip back into the pattern temporarily, but as long as $119,000 holds, the bullish structure remains in play. Ending the recent downside deviation adds to the optimism. Several sharp deviations from bullish structures have marked this cycle, but reclaiming and holding above the Bull Flag shows renewed strength from buyers. For long-term bulls, this could be the technical reset needed to keep the $160,000 target alive. Key Resistance Levels That Stand Between BTC And $160,000 Despite a recent -9% dip, Bitcoin remains in what Rekt Capital calls “Price Discovery Uptrend 2.” This phase, which follows historical price tendencies, has stayed intact because the dip never broke the uptrend’s structure or confirmed a breakdown. However, the move into Week 6 of this uptrend is notable; historically, Weeks 5 and 6 have often been the “danger zone” for local tops. While history points to a potential pause here, the unique nature of this cycle may allow for an extension. Still, the decisive factor is now price, not just time. The analyst points to resistance that first appeared around $124,000 in July but has since evolved into a dynamic barrier closer to $126,000.

On the other hand, failure to clear $126,000 would create both time and price confluence for a pullback, which Rekt Capital calls “Price Discovery Correction 2.” Such a correction would not end the long-term bullish case but would delay the next leg up. Until then, all eyes are on these key levels: $119,000 for support and $126,000 for breakout. How Bitcoin handles them could decide whether the grand roadmap to $160,000 stays on track in the weeks ahead. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView.com

Global financial services company Western Union’s acquisition of International Money Express, Inc. (Intermex) is drawing attention from the crypto space, as analysts highlight its potential boost for Ripple and XRP. With Intermex confirmed as an On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) user of Ripple, the deal could strengthen blockchain-powered payment flows across the US while expanding Western Union’s retail and digital reach. Western Union Expansion Could Bolster XRP And Ripple Market expert ‘Xaif Crypto’ pointed out in an X social media post on Monday that Western Union’s $500 million all-cash acquisition of Intermex could have significant implications for Ripple and XRP. According to the analyst, Intermex has been a user of Ripple XRP ODL services since 2020, making it an active player in cross-border payments, particularly across Latin America. Related Reading: Ripple’s XRP Cannot Replace SWIFT? Expert Says This Crypto Is A Better Fit Notably, Western Union announced that it will take over Intermex in a recent press release on August 10. By acquiring Intermex, the international bank is not only gaining a well-established remittance business but also inheriting its Ripple-powered payment infrastructure. Xaif Crypto has stated that this strategic move further positions the company to dominate money flows across all of America. As a result, it marks a significant step toward XRP’s broader objective of achieving global market dominance. Based on reports from the press release, the acquisition could directly strengthen its North American retail operations while expanding its reach beyond Intermex’s historically high-growth Latin American operations. It is also expected to accelerate digital customer acquisition, enabling faster onboarding of Western Union’s payment ecosystem. Moreover, the combination of the international bank’s vast global network and Intermex’s use of Ripple’s ODL could enhance the speed, reliability, and cost-efficiency of transactions, potentially increasing XRP’s utility and adoption in high-volume remittance markets. By leveraging Intermex’s six million customers and strong agent relationships, Western Union is also set to broaden the footprint of Ripple-backed transactions across multiple geographies. This strategic acquisition further aligns with the growing trend of financial giants tapping blockchain technology to remain competitive in the evolving global payments market. This could also give Ripple and XRP a stronger foothold in their mission toward securing a dominant role in worldwide payment systems. Intermex‘s Deal Structure And Growth Outlook Under the agreement, Western Union will reportedly acquire Intermex for $16 per IMXI share in cash, valuing the deal at approximately $500 million in equity and enterprise terms. This figure represents a 50% premium over Intermex’s 90-day volume-weighted average price. Related Reading: XRPL Infrastructure: Ripple CTO Shares ‘Most Useful Thing’ For The Network Officially, the deal has been unanimously approved by both companies’ boards and is expected to close in mid-2026, pending regulatory and shareholder approvals. Intermex’s established brand, operational efficiency, and market expertise will be integrated into Western Union’s extensive network, creating opportunities to work better together. Furthermore, the companies anticipate $30 million in annual run-rate cost savings within two years, with additional revenue potential through expanded product offerings. The acquisition is also expected to immediately boost Western Union’s adjusted earnings per share by over $0.10 in the first full year after closing.
