Ethereum is attempting to regain stability after the sharp selloff on Tuesday that sent its price plunging below $3,100. The drop triggered widespread liquidations across the crypto market, with ETH briefly touching multi-week lows before finding support. As of today, bulls are trying to reclaim the $3,350 level, a short-term resistance zone that could determine whether the asset stages a broader recovery or faces another leg down. Related Reading: ‘Bitcoin $100K Break Was Emotional’ – On-Chain Data Shows No Structural Damage Despite the volatility, on-chain data reveals a different story beneath the surface. Large investors — often referred to as whales — have continued to accumulate ETH, signaling long-term confidence in the network’s fundamentals. Their steady buying activity stands in stark contrast to the broader market’s fear-driven behavior, suggesting that major holders view the recent correction as a buying opportunity rather than a reversal. Historically, whale accumulation during deep pullbacks has often preceded strong rebounds, as institutional and long-term capital step in while retail sentiment weakens. The challenge now lies in whether Ethereum can maintain momentum above key technical levels, especially as overall market confidence remains fragile. If buying pressure continues to build, ETH could find the foundation for a sustained recovery heading into mid-November. Whales Accumulate ETH, Hinting at Impulsive Move Ahead According to Lookonchain, Ethereum whales have collectively accumulated 394,682 ETH, worth approximately $1.37 billion, over the past three days. This wave of large-scale buying comes as prices consolidate below $3,400, signaling that deep-pocketed investors are positioning ahead of a potential market rebound. Such aggressive accumulation often indicates smart money confidence in future upside potential. Historically, when whales buy during periods of widespread fear and weak price action, it suggests they are anticipating an impulsive phase — a sharp move driven by renewed liquidity and market sentiment recovery. The scale and speed of this accumulation reinforce the idea that these entities expect Ethereum to outperform once selling pressure fades. This trend also aligns with broader market behavior seen after major liquidations, where institutional players tend to absorb supply from shaken-out traders. If ETH holds above its key support around $3,100, the combination of whale accumulation, improving on-chain inflows, and reduced leverage could act as the catalyst for a breakout toward the $3,600–$3,800 range.

The decline brought ETH down to test its 200-day moving average (red line) — a key long-term dynamic support that historically acts as a springboard during corrective phases. Currently, Ethereum is trading around $3,380, showing signs of a modest rebound. However, bulls face immediate resistance near the $3,500–$3,600 range, where the 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages converge. This area has repeatedly rejected upward moves since late October and will likely define short-term direction. Related Reading: Balancer Hacker Now Converting Loot to Ethereum: Stolen Funds Surge To $116.6M A decisive break above these averages could shift momentum back in favor of the bulls, opening the door for a recovery toward $3,800. On the downside, a failure to hold above the 200-day MA may trigger further weakness toward $3,000 or even $2,850, where previous demand zones exist.

Stablecoins have emerged as a store-of-value asset in emerging market economies at a rate no one predicted, Wood said on Thursday.
Following a stormy week that erased over $1 trillion in crypto market capitalization, signs of recovery are emerging, with the XRP price leading the way. While Bitcoin struggled to hold the $104,000 mark and Ethereum remained under pressure near $3,400, the XRP price rallied nearly 5% to trade around $2.31, outpacing both majors. Related Reading: Galaxy Digital Slashes Bitcoin EOY Price Target To $120,000 Analysts attribute this strength to robust fundamentals, including Ripple’s strategic partnership with Mastercard and renewed institutional interest following a $500 million investment round. The Mastercard collaboration marks one of the first instances of a U.S.-regulated bank testing real credit card transactions on a public blockchain through Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. The move underscores the growing shift from speculative crypto use cases to enterprise-grade payment infrastructure. BlackRock XRP ETF Speculation Adds Institutional FOMO Momentum also intensified after BlackRock’s Director of Digital Assets, Maxwell Stein, hinted at Ripple’s Swell conference that “trillions are definitely coming on-chain.” The comment reignited speculation around a potential BlackRock XRP ETF, a development that could reshape institutional exposure to the asset. Analysts note that such a product would provide regulatory recognition and attract billions in inflows, potentially revving the long-term value growth of the XRP price. The buzz comes as Ripple’s valuation climbs to $40 billion following its latest funding round, led by Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities. Major firms, such as Pantera Capital and Galaxy Digital, also joined, backing institutional confidence in Ripple’s blockchain-based payment systems. Observers say that this backing, blended with the growing utility of the network, positions XRP as a frontrunner for the next institutional adoption wave.

Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview On-Chain Growth Signals Accumulation and XRP Price Recovery Despite the broader market’s volatility, on-chain data reveals growing conviction among XRP holders. Glassnode reported that more than 1.4 billion XRP tokens have been withdrawn from exchanges since September, the fastest accumulation pace since 2022. Similarly, network activity surged, with over 21,000 new wallets created within 48 hours, marking the highest growth since January. This combination of reduced exchange supply, rising wallet creation, and expanding institutional partnerships paints a bullish picture for XRP’s medium-term trajectory. If the asset maintains support above $2.30, analysts expect a possible move toward the $2.60–$3.00 range.

Bitcoin is once again at a pivotal moment after briefly dipping below the $100,000 level on Tuesday, testing one of the most important psychological and structural supports of the cycle. The market remains tense as bulls attempt to defend this zone amid rising volatility and persistent selling pressure. Momentum has clearly slowed, and traders are now looking for signs of stabilization as the next directional move takes shape. Related Reading: ‘Bitcoin $100K Break Was Emotional’ – On-Chain Data Shows No Structural Damage According to top analyst Darkfost, a major shift is unfolding beneath the surface — Bitcoin’s open interest across major centralized exchanges continues to struggle to recover. Since the mass liquidation event on October 10, when over $10 billion in leveraged positions were wiped out, the use of leverage has cooled significantly. This has resulted in the largest 30-day decline in open interest of the entire cycle, signaling a widespread de-risking among futures traders. While this sharp decline reflects shaken confidence, it may also serve a constructive purpose. The unwinding of excessive leverage often precedes healthier, more sustainable price action, helping to flush out speculation and rebuild stronger market foundations. Leverage Flush Deepens as Exchanges See Billions in Open Interest Wiped Out Darkfost highlights that Binance has been at the center of this leverage unwind, recording a massive $4 billion decline in Bitcoin open interest over the past month. Other major platforms have faced similar drawdowns, with Bybit losing over $3 billion and Gate.io more than $2 billion. This widespread contraction underscores how aggressively leverage has been removed from the market following October’s liquidation shock. Back on October 10, global open interest dropped by more than $10 billion within hours, one of the most severe leverage resets of the cycle. Historically, after such dramatic events, traders rebuild positions quickly as volatility cools. However, this time the rebound has been notably absent — open interest remains depressed, suggesting that market confidence is still fragile. The ongoing correction continues to discourage over-leveraged activity, forcing traders to adopt more conservative positioning. While this has amplified short-term downside pressure, Darkfost notes that these deleveraging phases are ultimately healthy. They wash out excessive speculation, allowing stronger hands to reaccumulate and laying the groundwork for the next sustained rally. In the medium term, this compression of leverage tends to create a more stable, organic market structure — one driven by spot demand rather than derivatives-driven momentum. Related Reading: Anti-CZ Whale Flips Bullish: Now Long $109M In Ethereum While Holding Massive Meme Shorts Bitcoin Retests Key Support After Heavy Selling Bitcoin is showing signs of stabilization after a sharp sell-off that briefly pushed prices below the critical $100,000 level earlier this week. As of now, BTC trades around $103,000, attempting to recover but facing persistent resistance from the short-term moving averages. The chart shows that Bitcoin remains well below the 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages — both now acting as dynamic resistance zones around $110,000. The 200-day MA (red) near $102,000 currently serves as the key support level, and a sustained close below it could open the door to deeper downside, potentially toward $95,000. Related Reading: Balancer Hacker Now Converting Loot to Ethereum: Stolen Funds Surge To $116.6M The recent bounce reflects short-covering and some dip-buying activity, but momentum remains weak. The market structure suggests a shift from bullish to corrective, as lower highs continue to form. For bulls to regain control, Bitcoin would need to reclaim the $110,000–$112,000 region — where heavy liquidity and previous breakdown levels align. Focus remains on whether buyers can hold the $100K–$103K zone. Losing this range would likely trigger another wave of liquidations, while a successful defense could provide the base for a mid-term recovery rally. The market remains fragile, with sentiment still leaning cautious. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Cardano (ADA) is staging a cautious rebound after testing the critical $0.52–$0.57 support range, a zone that has historically triggered major reversals. Related Reading: Galaxy Digital Slashes Bitcoin EOY Price Target To $120,000 Market analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that every touch of this area since late 2024 has resulted in a sharp upside reaction, signaling strong buyer interest. ADA now trades around $0.53, with bulls aiming to defend this zone to avoid retracements. The rebound coincides with improving on-chain sentiment and growing accumulation around long-term supports. Analysts say that as long as ADA maintains this base, the path toward $0.72 and $1.15 remains valid. A close below $0.52, however, could reintroduce bearish pressure and delay recovery hopes. ADA's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: ADAUSD on Tradingview TD Sequential Buy Signal Hints at a Cycle Bottom Adding to optimism, the TD Sequential indicator recently printed a buy signal on ADA’s three-day chart, a pattern known for marking potential market bottoms. Historically, similar setups have preceded strong bullish reversals, suggesting that sellers may be losing control. Trading volume and long/short ratios also support the bullish view. According to Coinglass, long positions now represent 52% of open interest, reflecting renewed trader confidence. A breakout above $0.60 could confirm the reversal, paving the way for a wider rally toward the $0.72 resistance level identified by several analysts. Can Cardano (ADA) Sustain Its Momentum? While ADA’s short-term charts show potential for recovery, longer-term indicators remain cautious. Cardano continues to trade inside a descending parallel channel formed since December 2024, with resistance sitting near $0.72. Analyst Valdrin Tahiri noted that unless ADA reclaims the $0.60 zone, the broader trend remains bearish. Regardless, the combination of strong support, bullish confluence signals, and improved trader sentiment paints a cautiously optimistic picture. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Price Crash To $87,000 If This Happens If the rebound holds and momentum strengthens above $0.65, ADA could confirm a new accumulation phase, setting the stage for a possible mid-term breakout above $0.72 and a retest of the $1 psychological level.
