XRP has witnessed a strong surge during the past day, but data shows speculative leverage is building up behind the scenes, a potential warning sign. XRP Has Enjoyed A Sharp Rally Over The Last 24 Hours The cryptocurrency market as a whole has seen some recovery from the recent crash, but XRP has stood out for its particularly rapid growth. With a jump of 7% over the past day, the coin has managed to return to the $2.19 level. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $40,000? Signal Behind Past 60% Crashes Is Back The chart below shows how the recent performance of the asset has looked: XRP’s breakaway from the pack has come as Franklin Templeton and Grayscale have launched their exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The products, with tickers XRPZ and GXRP, are now live on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Arca. While the debut has brought with it fresh institutional attention on the cryptocurrency, a potentially bearish signal has been brewing in the background. XRP Open Interest RSI Has Reached The Sell Zone As pointed out by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in a new post on X, the XRP Open Interest Delta RSI has surged into the overheated territory recently. This indicator basically gauges the speed and magnitude of changes occurring in the asset’s Open Interest, a measure of the total amount of positions currently open on all derivatives exchanges. Below is the chart shared by Maartunn that shows the trend in this metric over the past few weeks. From the graph, it’s visible that the XRP Open Interest Delta RSI has surged above 70 recently, indicating that investors have opened derivatives positions aggressively within a short window. The analyst calls it “a classic sign of speculative leverage.” The overall Open Interest is still notably down compared to the high earlier in the month, but the latest rapid uptick could be a signal to keep an eye on. In the chart, Maartunn has highlighted the previous instances of this pattern forming. It would appear that breaks from the indicator into this territory have often coincided with local tops. So far, since the latest sell signal has appeared in the metric, XRP has continued to go up, but it only remains to be seen whether the rally will be sustainable, or if derivatives overheating will prove an obstacle.

As displayed in the above chart, this isn’t the first time this year that the XRP Realized Loss has witnessed a spike after the price retraced to $2. “Since early 2025, each time XRP has retested $2, investors have realized $0.5B–$1.2B per week in losses,” noted Glassnode. “This underscores how heavily this level influences spending behavior.” Featured image from Dall-E, Glassnode.com, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin price started a recovery wave above $88,000. BTC is now consolidating and might soon aim for a move above the $90,000 zone. Bitcoin started a recovery wave and climbed toward $89,000. The price is trading above $87,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $88,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).

In the dynamic and often volatile landscape of digital assets, Bitcoin’s position as the premier store of value in the digital asset space remains firmly intact, even as the broader crypto ecosystem evolves. Its unmatched network strength, fixed supply, and resilient global infrastructure continue to make it the benchmark against all digital assets. Unmatched Network Security Keeps Bitcoin In The Lead Bitcoin remains the largest and most secure store of value in the crypto ecosystem, with a market capitalization surpassing $1.7 trillion and increasingly unmatched institutional adoption. However, analyst Ted has noted on X that the BTC base layer was never built for decentralized finance (DeFi).  Related Reading: Historic Downturn: Bitcoin Nears Worst Weekly Performance In Over A Year Most of BTC’s capital sits idle and is unable to support the complex financial applications. This is where the BTCFi emerges, and it’s rising because it activates this dormant capital without forcing users or liquidity away from BTC’s security. Ted highlighted that Arch Network is a utility layer that enables the development of expressive rush in smart contracts directly to BTC for high performance. It offers real-time state management, true interoperability, and fast parallel execution, while remaining fully aligned with the BTC UTXO model. This ensures that all settlements and final state changes remain anchored directly to BTC for maximum security. The applications on ArchVM generate Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs for each batch of transactions, and BTC nodes verify those proofs on-chain; a design that enables fast trading, money lending, credit markets, and real-world asset (RWA) applications with the L1-level trust. Furthermore,  Ted describes the Arch Network as aiming to become a core piece of the infrastructure pillar for the emerging BTCFi ecosystem. Bitcoin Stabilizes As Market Volatility Cools Off The cryptocurrency market is now showing signs of stabilization, positioning Bitcoin for a potential resurgence. According to CryptosRus, last Friday, BTC appeared to have firmly bottomed just above the $82,000 level, a crucial development that analysts are pointing to as a potential renewed market strength. While the selling pressure is fading, these key developments could trigger a near-term bounce for BTC. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Recovery Loses Strength, Traders Watch $90K as Last Line of Defense Swissblock outlines a sharp risk-off signal, suggesting that the worst phase of capitulation may be over.

Fed rate cuts are surging, as the December cut probability is climbing back to 70%, fueling optimism for liquidity support.

With selling pressure easing and policy tailwinds building, BTC’s climb may continue signaling a potential recovery. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com

According to Versan Aljarrah, founder of Black Swan Capitalist, fear has crept back into the XRP market as the token trades under pressure. Prices slipped below the $2 mark and recently hit about $1.83 before a small rebound. Volatility has been sharp, and many traders are being pushed into quick exits. Related Reading: Bitcoin Creator Somehow Becomes ‘Poor’ By Losing $41 Billion Without Saying A Word Volatility Tests Investors Based on reports, XRP’s slide accelerated after a broad market crash in early October tied to tariff tensions between the US and China. That turmoil forced billions of dollars of liquidations across exchanges. Different platforms briefly showed very different lows — Kraken recorded $1.40 while Binance charts on TradingView showed a flash low at $0.76. Fear is back, and it always hits those who don’t understand what it means to hold XRP. Most won’t survive the engineered volatility ahead. The system shakes out the weak long before real valuation even begins. — Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) November 23, 2025 Those swings left behind gaps in liquidity, including a zone around $1.98 to $1.99 that traders are watching closely. Price action has been messy but not one-directional. XRP was trading around $2.22, up about 1.8% in the last 24 hours, and in another snapshot it was reported changing hands close to $2.24 amid a rebound. Over the most recent 72 hours, the token posted a rally of more than 18%, showing how fast sentiment can flip. According to Aljarrah, fear has returned, and “it always hits those who don’t understand what it means to hold XRP.” The analyst pointed out that a good number of people will fall before they could even make it and “survive the engineered volatility ahead.” The system, he said, “shakes out the weak” long before actual market valuation takes its course. History And Psychology At Work Analysts and market observers point to XRP’s stop-and-go history as part of the problem. In 2017, the coin lingered for months before surging roughly 70,000% and then dropping by as much as 95% at certain stretches. In 2024, it traded quietly for much of the year before jumping over 600% near year end. That pattern makes holding the token psychologically hard for many. People sell too soon, often right before big moves. Support levels are being watched closely. Reports list key buffers at $1.95, $1.75, and $1.60. On the upside, some analysts are projecting a rebound to $4 by 2026, with longer-range targets of $13 and $27. Those are forecasts, not promises, and they assume steady market conditions and continued interest. While $XRP jumped 17% in the last 72 hours, whales used the move to lock in profits, selling more than 180 million tokens. pic.twitter.com/t9aKQqTwQN — Ali (@ali_charts) November 25, 2025 Whales Take Profit Amid Rally And ETF Flows Meanwhile, analyst Ali Martinez said larger holders have been taking profits during the rebound. Whales holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP reportedly sold over 180 million tokens, trimming their balances to about 4.74 billion XRP. That kind of selling can add pressure even while the price is trying to recover.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is back in the spotlight after a week of explosive developments that have shifted market sentiment firmly into bullish territory. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s November Crash To Continue If This Level Isn’t Reclaimed, Analyst Warns The launch of Grayscale’s Dogecoin ETF, along with rising on-chain activity and renewed retail enthusiasm, has combined to push DOGE into a breakout zone that analysts say could define its next major trend. As the broader crypto market remains volatile, Dogecoin is proving once again that its unique blend of cultural appeal and market structure can create outsized momentum. DOGE's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: DOGEUSD on Tradingview Grayscale’s GDOG ETF Ignites Fresh Institutional Demand The biggest catalyst of the week is the debut of Grayscale’s GDOG, the first U.S. spot Dogecoin ETF, an unprecedented milestone for any memecoin. Listed on NYSE Arca with a temporary 0% fee for the first $1 billion in assets, GDOG offers regulated exposure to DOGE without the need for wallets or direct custody. Early inflows have already surpassed expectations, signaling significant institutional interest ahead of fierce competition from Bitwise, which is launching its own Dogecoin ETF, BWOW, later in the week. The ETF arrival comes as Dogecoin maintains its position among the top 10 cryptos, boasting billions in daily trading volume and a market capitalization rivaling that of established traditional companies. Analysts note that ETF access could unlock new capital from retirement accounts, advisory firms, and institutions that have been previously restricted from buying the asset directly, potentially reshaping DOGE’s liquidity profile. Dogecoin Price Momentum Builds as On-Chain Activity Surges DOGE’s price climbed over 2% to trade around $0.15, breaking short-term resistance as volumes exceeded $1.5 billion. On-chain data shows more than 1.5 million daily transactions, reflecting heightened network usage driven by low fees and rapid confirmation speeds. Technical indicators also reinforce the bullish turn, as the RSI has rebounded from oversold territory, while support at the $0.13 zone remains intact. Market watchers say a move toward $0.18 is possible if ETF inflows remain strong. The long-monitored $0.17–$0.16 support cluster remains the key downside zone that bulls must defend to maintain control. Memecoin Era Strengthens as DOGE Enters Regulated Finance Dogecoin’s ETF debut is more than a market event. It’s a cultural benchmark that cements the evolution of memecoins from online jokes to regulated financial instruments. With Grayscale securing first-mover advantage and Bitwise close behind, Wall Street has formally opened the door to a new class of assets powered by community identity rather than traditional fundamentals. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Yet To Top In This Cycle?

Bitcoin is struggling to reclaim the $90,000 level as selling pressure continues to dominate across the crypto market. The sharp decline from the all-time high has fueled growing speculation that the current cycle may have already peaked, with many analysts now calling for the beginning of a bear market. Sentiment has shifted rapidly, and fear is spreading as traders question whether the bullish structure has been permanently broken. Related Reading: Bitmine Scoops Up Another 28,625 Ethereum ($82.1M) as Market Bleeds – Details However, not everyone agrees with the bearish outlook. A segment of market participants still expects a rebound, arguing that the correction is part of a broader continuation pattern rather than the end of the cycle. These optimistic observers believe that higher prices could still unfold once selling exhaustion sets in. According to top analyst Darkfost, the recent price action reflects a notable behavioral shift in traders. He explains that investors who attempted to long the market throughout the correction have finally been squeezed out. Funding rates, which had remained elevated during the decline, have now cooled and even turned negative — a strong signal that sentiment has flipped. Darkfost notes that traders waited for Bitcoin to correct more than 30% before shifting aggressively into short positions, highlighting a delayed reaction that often appears near market inflection points. Funding Rates Flip Negative as Short Dominance Takes Over Darkfost explains that the latest shift in funding rates is more meaningful than it appears on the surface. He notes that traders often assume the neutral funding level is 0%, but that is not the case. Most exchanges — including Binance — embed an interest component of roughly 0.01% into the funding calculation. This means that when funding drops below 0.01%, it already reflects short-side dominance. Therefore, when funding turns negative, it signals an even stronger tilt toward aggressive short positioning. According to Darkfost, this marks a clear behavioral change among derivatives traders, suggesting that the market has transitioned from forced long unwinds to conviction-based short exposure. Historically, these shifts tend to occur only once a correction is already deep into its progression. Darkfost highlights that such funding transitions often reflect trader capitulation — where participants who fought the downtrend finally flip and attempt to follow momentum, but only after most of the move has already unfolded. This phenomenon has appeared in previous cycle retracements and has frequently coincided with late-stage bottoms. He adds that Bitcoin may now be entering a disbelief phase, where price begins climbing while shorts continue to pile in. If this dynamic persists, it could act as fuel for an upside reversal, especially if spot demand wakes up and liquidations pressure the short side instead. Related Reading: 63K Bitcoin Exits Long-Term Wallets: A Surge of Speculative Short-Term Buying BTC Price Testing Short-Term Supply Bitcoin is attempting to stabilize after a sharp decline, with the chart showing price currently trading around $87,000 following a rebound from the recent plunge near $80,000. The downtrend remains clearly defined, as BTC continues to trade below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, signaling persistent bearish momentum. The slope of these moving averages has turned downward, reinforcing the shift in trend structure. Despite the bounce, the recovery lacks strong volume support, which suggests that buyers have not yet returned with conviction. Related Reading: STH Panic Emerges as Bitcoin Crashes To $81K: Realized P/L Turns Negative For The First Time This Cycle The chart shows that previous support levels around $95,000 and $100,000 have now become resistance areas, making them key levels to watch for any attempted recovery. A failure to reclaim these zones could trigger renewed selling pressure and a retest of the recent lows. However, the wick below $80,000 indicates aggressive buying at the lows, which could signal that a short-term bottom is forming if buyers continue to defend higher lows in the coming days. Market sentiment remains fragile, yet the stabilization above $85,000 hints at a potential consolidation phase rather than immediate continuation of the decline. A sustained move above the 100-day moving average would be the first meaningful signal of regained bullish momentum. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Solana (SOL) is staging an impressive comeback as renewed institutional demand supports the network’s key support levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces Less Than 50% Chance Of Hitting $100,000 By December 31, Says AI Model The latest surge in investor interest, led by a record-breaking inflow into Bitwise’s Solana ETF, has helped the asset stabilize after weeks of market turbulence, offering fresh optimism for a potential trend reversal. SOL's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: SOLUSD on Tradingview Record Solana ETF Inflows Signal Renewed Institutional Confidence Bitwise Asset Management recorded a historic $39.5 million single-day inflow into its Solana ETF, the largest since the product launched. The milestone reflects a clear shift in institutional portfolios toward high-utility blockchain assets, with Solana increasingly emerging as a preferred choice beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The network’s reputation for speed, scalability, and active ecosystem continues to anchor demand, with institutional investors prioritizing blockchains that demonstrate real-world functionality. This surge in ETF interest comes despite broader market volatility. Recent weeks saw nearly $1.94 billion in total outflows across crypto investment products, one of the largest downturns since 2018. Yet, Solana ETF performance shows institutions are not withdrawing from the market entirely, they are reallocating capital toward networks with measurable usage and long-term growth potential. Solana Price Rebounds as Key Supports Hold Firm After dropping to $121.50 on Friday, Solana rebounded sharply to reclaim the $135–$140 range, marking a 14% recovery. Despite a 30% decline over the last month, SOL has shown notable resilience. The asset continues to hold above the crucial $125–$130 support band, a zone analysts describe as the foundation of Solana’s current market structure. Derivatives markets, however, still reflect caution. Negative funding rates and declining open interest indicate traders remain defensive, with sentiment yet to fully align with the positive ETF inflows. Even so, on-chain activity paints a more optimistic picture. Solana leads all major networks in active addresses and daily transactions, with user activity increasing 13% over the past month, even as Ethereum’s activity declined 15%. ETF Strength and On-Chain Utility Shape Solana’s Next Move The junction of strong ETF demand and robust network fundamentals suggests Solana could be positioned for a broader recovery, provided it maintains the $125 support level. Analysts point to $163, $170, and eventually $195–$243 as potential upside targets if buyers continue to absorb selling pressure. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $40,000? Signal Behind Past 60% Crashes Is Back While macro uncertainty and recent market outflows still pose risks, Solana’s ability to withstand significant volatility, while attracting record institutional capital, signals enduring confidence in its long-term value.

Bitcoin dominance is currently sitting around the mid-50% range, and although it has not shown any dramatic breakdown yet, some traders are beginning to watch for signs of rotation. Data from platforms that track market share show Bitcoin dominance slowly pushing to the mid-fifties, but projections suggesting a future decline are forming the basis of new discussions in the XRP community. One such projection comes from an XRP enthusiast known as DROP, who shared a chart illustrating a steep fall in Bitcoin dominance that he believes will unlock XRP’s next major rally to double digits. Bitcoin Dominance Projection Shows A Breakdown Zone The chart shared by DROP outlines a scenario where Bitcoin dominance trends sideways for a while before sliding into the low-40% region. This projected decline is highlighted by a wide purple zone extending into 2026. The expectation is that a major rotation into altcoins, most especially XRP, would begin once dominance loses its current structure.  Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Needs To Be To Flip Bitcoin Although Bitcoin’s dominance has fallen quite a bit from its 60% range where it was circulating in October, it has fairly held up even when it fell to as low as $81,000 on November 21.  The last time Bitcoin’s dominance was as low as 40% was in early 2023. The idea behind the projection is not that another fall in dominance has already begun, but that the dominance is in a region where it could crash if market conditions change. According to DROP, this is the moment that will cement the beginning of XRP’s strongest move of the cycle. It is from here that the XRP price runs to double digits. Double-Digit XRP Dependent On A Crypto Market Transition XRP has often been one of the few assets that have shown the ability to outperform Bitcoin, especially when traders rotate into large-cap tokens that have lagged behind Bitcoin during the early part of a cycle.  Related Reading: XRP Price Has Surged 15% Anytime This Metric Appeared In The Past This pattern was visible in both January and July 2025. The January 2025 move pushed XRP above $3 for the first time since 2018, and the July 2025 move saw the XRP price register a new all-time high. The projection by DROP positions XRP as one of the likely gainers once market share begins to redistribute away from Bitcoin. This has not happened yet, and current dominance readings reflect stability rather than collapse. The projection centers on what could occur when the market enters the next altcoin rotation phase.  If dominance eventually drops toward the low-40% range, then the conditions might just be right for XRP to break out above $10. These conditions include retail and institutional participation, deeper liquidity from large investors, and meaningful inflows into XRP ETFs to sustain such an advance to double digits.
