Veteran trader Alessio Rastani breaks down his bullish outlook for Bitcoin in the coming months in a new Cointelegraph interview.
The crypto market is waking up again, and the signs are finally pointing in one direction: upward. Bitcoin is holding above $91,000, Ethereum has reclaimed $3,000, and XRP has pushed to $2.20 after an 10% weekly jump. The total market cap has climbed back to $3.1 trillion, rising more than 3 percent in a single …
The following article is adapted from The Block’s newsletter, The Daily, which comes out on weekday afternoons.
Ethereum is trading far below its modeled “intrinsic value,” according to a live valuation dashboard launched by Hashed CEO Simon Kim. On ETHval (ethval.com), the current snapshot shows Ethereum at a spot price of $3,034.0 while the reliability-weighted “Composite Fair Value” stands at $4,777.5, implying +57.8% upside versus the market. The median fair value across models is $4,026.68, or +33.8% above spot. The dashboard labels ETH “UNDERVALUED” and aggregates its eight models into five buy, one hold and two sell signals. How The Fair Value Of Ethereum Is Calculated Kim introduced the project on X with the explicit goal of shifting the discussion away from pure sentiment: “What is ETH actually worth? The crypto industry deserves better than price speculation. I built a dashboard to think about ETH’s intrinsic value with 8 models… Far from perfect and open to feedback.” ETHval makes those models and their outputs fully visible, along with their individual reliability tags.

The TVL Multiple model, which prices ETH off total value locked in DeFi using a 7× TVL-to-market-cap anchor, assigns a fair value of $4,026.6, judging ETH 32.7% undervalued (reliability: medium). A more conservative MC/TVL Fair Value mean-reversion model, treated as high reliability, lands at $3,453.1, only 13.8% above spot and classified as “fair.” Models that embed stronger network-effect or cash-flow claims are far more aggressive. The DCF (Staking) framework, which discounts an implied perpetual stream of staking rewards, values ETH at $9,101.9, indicating it is 200.0% undervalued. A high-reliability Metcalfe’s Law implementation, which scales value with TVL to the power of 1.5, is even more bullish at $9,585.9, or 216.8% above the current price. The Ethereum L2 ecosystem model, which adds twice the TVL of major rollups to Ethereum mainnet TVL before applying a multiple, generates a fair value of $4,640.0, implying 52.9% undervaluation, although ETHval marks this model’s reliability as low. A Staking Scarcity model, also low reliability and based on liquid-supply contraction, prices ETH at $3,538.2, or 16.6% undervalued. Related Reading: Ethereum Steadies Near $2,900 as Fed Rate-Cut Odds Fuel $3,400 Rebound Hopes Two income-style models push in the opposite direction and still receive high reliability scores. The P/E Ratio (25×) model treats annualized protocol fees as “earnings,” applies a 25× multiple and arrives at a fair value of only $957.4, reading ETH as 68.4% overvalued. The Revenue Yield model reverse-engineers price from a target protocol yield of 2.5%; at current revenue levels it outputs $1,531.8, implying 49.5% overvaluation. To synthesize these conflicting signals, ETHval applies a disclosed weighting scheme: high-reliability models are multiplied by 9, medium by 5 and low by 2 when computing the $4,780.7 composite. That weighting, combined with the extreme upside implied by the DCF and Metcalfe models, is what drives the overall conclusion that Ethereum is strongly undervalued despite two respected frameworks pointing to downside. The dashboard itself stops short of making investment recommendations. Underneath the numbers, ETHval reiterates that the outputs are for reference only and that each model rests on explicit, debatable assumptions. But by fixing the current ETH price at $3,034.0 against a live fair-value band stretching from $957.4 on the bearish end to $9,585.9 on the most bullish, Kim’s site quantifies a debate that usually plays out in anecdotes and narratives—and, for now, that quantified view leans clearly toward Ethereum being undervalued. At press time, ETH traded at $3,029. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

According to exchange data, inflows to trading venues topped 9,000 Bitcoin on Nov. 21 as prices slid to $80,600 on Coinbase — the weakest showing in seven months. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces More Downside After Recent Crash, Data Shows Reports show that about 45% of those deposits came in chunks of 100 BTC or more, and on one day large transfers reached 7,000 BTC. The average deposit size in November rose to 1.23 BTC, the largest monthly figure in a year. Those numbers point to more than casual rebalancing; they point to coins being moved where they can be sold. Binance Stablecoins Hit Record According to market coverage, Binance’s stablecoin holdings climbed to a record $51 billion. At the same time, BTC and Ether inflows to exchanges swelled to roughly $40 billion this week, with Binance and Coinbase leading the move. Traders often park funds in dollar-pegged tokens when they want to wait on the sidelines. That build-up means cash is available, but it is sitting idle until sellers either step back or buyers turn up again. Bitcoin exchange inflows are rising as the price drops to ~87K, a seven-month low. Large deposits (100+ BTC) now make up 45% of all inflows, hitting 7K BTC on Nov 21. Large holders are increasingly sending BTC to exchanges, reinforcing the current downtrend. pic.twitter.com/UpN4rAL0FH — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) November 26, 2025 Analysts Eye Further Pullback Some market watchers warn the recent recovery could be only a pause, flagging remaining margin positions and suggested a test of lower levels. They said a wick into the $70k–$80k zone would be one way to clear out the last pockets of exposure. 10x Research put resistance levels at $92,000 and $101,000 as the key ranges to watch during any rebound. For context, Bitcoin had clawed back above $90,000 and was trading slightly higher at the time of reporting, but it remains down about 28% from the all-time high north of $126,000 reached in October. Short-Term Bounce, Not A Full Recovery Meanwhile, market moves in stocks and crypto have shown mixed signals. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were pushing gains as investors bet on a US Fed rate cut, and that helped risk assets. Yet reports from strategists show the usual close link between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq has weakened, with Bitcoin’s decline steeper in recent weeks. Ether and many altcoins also faced higher exchange inflows, and several tokens returned to bear-market lows as selling pressure widened. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Reenters ETH Market, Fires Off A $44-M Long What This Means Next Liquidity is present but it is parked in stablecoins, and big holders are still moving assets toward exchanges. A meaningful rally will likely need either heavy buying demand or a clear catalyst that draws those stablecoins back into risk assets. For now, the market sits in a waiting mode: a short rally could continue, but a deeper dip remains possible as positions get cleared and sellers complete their rotations.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is flashing a potential bullish reversal signal as a crypto analyst points to a breakout setup forming on the mid-term chart. The analyst’s chart highlights a tightening Falling Wedge on the 12-hour timeframe, signaling a possible shift in momentum after weeks of sustained decline. With price compressing toward the Falling Wedge’s apex, he has predicted that Dogecoin could soon see an explosive 80-80% price rally. Falling Wedge Pattern Points To Massive Dogecoin Breakout Crypto market expert Clifton Fx has released a new Dogecoin update on X, drawing attention to a clear Falling Wedge formation on the 12-hour chart. The chart shows that Dogecoin has been moving downward within the two converging trendlines of this wedge—a pattern that often precedes strong bull rallies. Usually, when a Falling Wedge appears, it indicates the end of a consolidation phase facilitated by a correction. Related Reading: Dogecoin’s 6,500% Surge: The Road That Leads From $0.15 To $10 This Cycle Dogecoin’s recent bounce from the wedge’s support suggests that the market may be preparing for a massive breakout. Building on this, Clifton Fx’s chart analysis shows that the wedge has reached a stage where volatility typically compresses before an expansion, making the next few sessions critical for a bullish confirmation. The expert’s analysis suggests that once the DOGE price breaks above the upper trendline of the Falling Wedge, the cryptocurrency could see a massive 80% to 90% bull rally in the days following the breakout. Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.15, reflecting the broader market downturn that has pushed the meme coin down by more than 23% in just over a month. If the price can initiate a rebound above 80%, it would erase the recent losses and also propel Dogecoin toward the $0.27 to $0.29 range. DOGE Cyclical Pattern Signals $5 Move By 2026 Sharing similar bullish sentiments about Dogecoin’s future, a pseudonymous crypto analyst, Bark, takes a broader view of the meme coin’s price behavior across multiple market cycles to decipher its next move. The accompanying chart maps out DOGE’s historical patterns since 2014, illustrating two major cycles characterized by extended accumulation phases and followed by explosive price surges. Related Reading: What Happens If Dogecoin Moves Out Of This Massive Wyckoff Accumulation? Each cycle was defined by similar chart structures, including a rounded base and consolidation zones that preceded each upward surge. According to Bark, Dogecoin appears to be replicating the fractal formation from past cycles. The first cycle in 2017 and the second in 2021 exhibited long accumulation periods before sharp vertical breakouts of about 5,858% and 21,457%, respectively. If the same historical pattern repeats in this cycle, Bark has predicted that Dogecoin could be setting the stage for a massive bull rally to $5 by 2026. The chart shows that a surge to this level from DOGE’s current price of $0.15 could represent a staggering 4,447% increase. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com
