The XRP price continues to remain suppressed under the heat of the Ripple vs. the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) legal battle. This suppressed price action has continued to discourage investors when its comes to the altcoin. However, not everyone has succumbed to the bearish pressure, as crypto analyst RLinda believes that the XRP price could be attempting a decoupling that could lead to a price breakout from here. XRP Price Decoupling Could Trigger Price Crypto analyst RLinda has forecasted a bullish picture for the XRP price where the altcoin could completely break out of its sluggish movement. The analysis which has now spanned a number of a days flows through XRP’s performance over the last year and how it has suffered crashes even when others in the market were reaching new all-time highs. Related Reading: Analysts Says Cardano Has Bottomed And Will Rally To $0.8, But It Must Hold This Level While the coin continues to be bogged down by the Ripple vs. SEC battle, crypto analyst RLinda believes that the XRP price could be reaching a possible decoupling. She explains that this is happening not just technically but fundamentally as well. A possible decoupling is bullish for the XRP price, given that it would be the start of a major price rally. Using the 1-Week chart, the crypto analyst highlights some technical developments that could be important to this possible decoupling. The first of these is that XRP is still testing the “Wedge resistance with the aim of breaking it.” Also, RLinda points out that volatility is decreasing as the consolidation is continuing at this point. However, this consolidation could be the reason that the price begins another rally. As for where the price could go from here, the crypto analyst points out that it could possibly rally as high as $0.6265 and even reach $0.73 by the time it is done. However, XRP must hold the support level at $0.4637 while breaking the resistances being mounting at $0.4962 and $0.5720. Factors Holding Price Down While XRP price continues to be one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the market, a number of factors have suppressed. The major one is the lawsuit mentioned above. Even though Ripple has scored multiple victories against the regulator during this time, the fact that the lawsuit is yet to be officially over continues to present a major hurdle. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts 45% Drop For Bitcoin, But Says It Won’t Go Below This Level In her analysis, RLinda points to these issues as being behind the price not performing well. However, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has said that he expects the lawsuit and settlement to be complete by the end of this summer. This puts it sometime before September. If this happens, then it would mark a pivotal point for the turnouts in the XRP price. “The Ripple vs. SEC case is a pivotal moment for cryptocurrency regulation, as a final victory would be a strong green sign for the entire cryptocurrency community amidst the SEC getting a number of restrictions on its activities lately due to overstepping its authority,” the analyst said.

On-chain data shows a PEPE whale has withdrawn a large amount of the memecoin from Binance today, a sign that could be bullish for its price. PEPE Whale Has Made A Large Outflow From Binance In The Past Day According to data from the cryptocurrency transaction tracker service Whale Alert, a massive Pepe transaction has been spotted on the blockchain during the last 24 hours. Related Reading: Bitcoin Q3 Rally Possible As Miner Selloff Finishes, Quant Says The transfer involved the movement of 1,286,733,285,955 tokens on the network, worth more than $14.7 million when the transaction went through. Given this large scale, it’s likely that a whale entity was responsible for the move. Whales are humongous investors who carry large amounts in their wallets. As they can make huge single-transaction movements like this latest one, they are considered influential beings on the market. Therefore, their moves can be worth keeping an eye on, as they may have implications for the price. Generally, though, it’s hard to say how exactly a move might reflect on the market, but sometimes, the addresses involved can provide some hints. Below are the address details for the latest Pepe whale transaction. As is visible, the sending address for this PEPE transaction was one attached to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Conversely, the receiver wasn’t affiliated with any centralized platform, suggesting that it was likely an investor’s self-custodial wallet. Transfers that move from exchanges to personal addresses are called “exchange outflows.” Generally, investors make outflows from these platforms when they plan to hold in the long term, so these transfers can potentially carry bullish benefits for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Shiba Inu ‘Underbought,’ While Bitcoin ‘Overbought’ Recently: Santiment The whale may have made this latest transfer out of Binance for a similar purpose. It could also be that these coins were just freshly purchased by this large investor, thus making a move even more positive for the memecoin. However, there also exists a bearish scenario where the whale has taken out their PEPE stack to sell through an over-the-counter (OTC) desk instead. As it’s impossible to say with any certainty which of these scenarios this transaction follows, it only remains to be seen what effects this transfer ends up having on the coin’s price, if any. PEPE Price Pepe had recently recovered towards the $0.0000121 level, but the asset has since seen a plunge of almost 5% as its price is now back at around $0.0000115. The chart below shows what the memecoin’s performance has looked like over the last few days. Featured image from Dall-E, whale-alert.io, chart from TradingView.com

Recently, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has entered a consolidation phase, fluctuating between $61,000 and $62,000 after a brief drop to $58,000 on June 24. While retail investors have shown renewed interest alongside institutional counterparts, the market faces a mix of bullish signs and potential headwinds. Retail Investors Return To Bitcoin In a recent social media post, crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlights the resurgence of retail investors, as evidenced by a four-month high in new BTC addresses reaching 432,026, adding to the sentiment that investors are betting on a significant price increase for BTC in the coming months, despite recent price volatility. Related Reading: Ethereum Suffers 3rd Straight Weekly Outflows, Becomes 2024’s Worst Performer In a separate post analyzing BTC’s recent price action, Martinez also suggested that the largest cryptocurrency on the market is currently confined within a parallel channel, with a potential rebound to $63,200 or $63,800 if the lower bound at $62,500 holds. In particular, Martinez cites the critical resistance areas of $65,795 and $78,700 as key targets if BTC breaks above them. However, not all news is positive for the Bitcoin market. In the past 72 hours, BTC miners have sold over 2,300 BTC worth approximately $145 million. This selling pressure adds to the US and German governments’ ongoing sell-off of confiscated BTC. Mining Industry Under Pressure The mining industry faces challenges due to lower network fees and reduced block rewards resulting from the Halving event in April. Kaiko Research notes that average network fees have decreased from $3 to $5, a significant drop from around $45 in January. The halving saw block rewards reduce from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, impacting miner revenue. This revenue squeeze has put pressure on miners, eroding profitability while fixed expenses such as energy, wages, and rent remain constant. The decline in network fees has further contributed to the reduction in revenue. Historically, Bitcoin price rallies following Halving events have helped miners compensate for the drop in rewards. However, the price of Bitcoin has remained relatively unchanged since the April 19 software update. Related Reading: 36% Explosion! ENS Coin Steals The Spotlight In The Crypto Market In April, fees briefly surged to nearly $150 due to the increased minting of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the BTC blockchain. Although this temporarily relieved miners, fees have since returned to average levels. According to Bloomberg, Marathon Digital, one of the largest Bitcoin miners, sold 390 BTC in May and plans to sell more tokens to manage its finances. Kaiko Research warns that the risk of forced selling by miners may persist in the coming months. As a result, the industry is expected to witness consolidation as miners seek to “consolidate assets” and “increase efficiency.” Notable examples include miner Riot Blockchain’s “hostile takeover attempt” of Bitfarms Ltd. and CleanSpark Inc.’s recent agreement to acquire Griid Infrastructure Inc. for $155 million in an all-stock transaction. At the time of writing, BTC is still consolidating within its range at $61,880, down 2% in the 24-hour time frame, wiping out all gains in the past 30 days, as losses in this time frame amount to 9%.

At press time, Bitcoin is within a bullish formation and firm, rejecting attempts for lower lows despite slumping by roughly 20% in June. Though there is hope that prices will trend higher in June, one analyst thinks BTC is walking on a tightrope. For buyers to take over, it means BTC will defy its historical trends observed in the last five years by printing green by September. Will Bitcoin Beat The Odds? Price data aggregated over the past five years paints a concerning picture for Q3 2023. In a post shared by one analyst, historical data shows that Bitcoin often dips in Q3, posting an average return on investment (ROI) of -5.21%. If this sets precedence, then it means that though BTC is firm when writing, the coin will most likely end up in losses below current rates.

Then, prices soared to all-time highs before correcting, dropping to $56,800. Even though this line has not been broken, bulls have been struggling for momentum as bears have been unrelenting, forcing prices lower on numerous occasions. BTC To $300,000? On-chain Activity And Institutional Adoption Rising Despite the historical bearish trend in Q3, some analysts remain optimistic. Considering X, one analyst thinks BTC will fly to as high as $300,000 by 2025 based on the “power law” theory. This prediction is almost 5X from spot rates, an overly optimistic prediction. Under the “power law” theory, the analyst said fundamentals play a crucial role. When a predictable growth pattern for Bitcoin based on its network activity is factored in, then the only way forward, the analyst said, is up. To further support this outlook, the analyst said Bitcoin prices have followed the power law for over a decade. It means the coin’s intrinsic value is independent of market hype. Beyond this, several other metrics support the potential for continued growth. For instance, IntoTheBlock data reveals that the number of active Bitcoin addresses continues to rise, reaching levels not seen since mid-April.
