Zcash (ZEC) has made a dramatic return to prominence, breaking into the top 20 cryptocurrencies after soaring more than 1,270% year-over-year. Related Reading: Cathie Wood Trims Her 2030 Bitcoin Price Prediction To $1.2 Million – Here’s Why The Zcash price recently surged above $650 for the first time since 2018, with a market capitalization of nearly $10 billion. According to CoinGecko, daily trading volume has surpassed $1.88 billion, with strong liquidity across Binance, Hyperliquid, and Bybit. This momentum reflects a growing resurgence of interest in privacy-preserving technologies amid increasing concerns over financial surveillance. The Electric Coin Company’s (ECC) recent upgrades, including those under Project Tachyon, and the rising adoption of the Zashi wallet have revitalized investor confidence. Privacy Narrative and Technical Upgrades Drive Momentum The renewed enthusiasm around privacy coins mirrors a broader market shift. Zcash’s shielded transactions, powered by zk-SNARKs, now represent over 30% of its circulating supply, reducing liquid float and contributing to price stability. Its integration into DeFi ecosystems through tokenized versions on Solana and BNB Chain has also expanded ZEC’s reach, with over 16,000 wallets interacting with these assets. Prominent voices like Naval Ravikant and Arthur Hayes have championed Zcash’s role in the evolving privacy revolution, calling it “the missing piece for Bitcoin.” Meanwhile, the Zcash Foundation maintains that the surge reflects genuine user demand rather than speculative hype. Futures data further supports this thesis, with balanced long-short ratios around 1.1, indicating sustained, organic buying interest rather than excessive leverage. ZEC's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ZECUSD on Tradingview Can Zcash Price Hit $1,000 Next? Analysts Weigh In The current Zcash price rally has sparked debate over its next target. Technical charts indicate robust support between $500 and $520, while resistance is located near $580–$600. Analysts from CoinGlass and Galaxy Digital project a conservative range of $650 – $750 in the near term, with an optimistic scenario pushing toward $1,000 if momentum persists. The bullish thesis hinges on the strength of the privacy narrative, expanding institutional participation, and ZEC’s scarcity model, mirroring Bitcoin’s 21 million-coin cap. However, traders caution that overbought conditions and potential regulatory headwinds could trigger short-term pullbacks. Related Reading: XRP Price Correction Is Far From Over: Bearish Divergence Signals Potential Revisit To $2.05 Nonetheless, with privacy becoming an increasingly valuable digital commodity, the Zcash price resurgence could mark not just a comeback, but a redefinition of how cryptocurrency balances transparency, utility, and financial freedom.

The wider crypto market, led by Bitcoin (BTC), recorded a mild rebound on Friday, November 7. The total crypto market cap surged 4% to hover around $3.49 trillion at press time. Bitcoin price rebounded 3% to trade above $103.6k at press time. Ethereum (ETH) was up over 4% to trade around a crucial liquidity supply …

The latest crypto downturn is hammering companies that built their business models around holding digital assets.
Falling hashprice and a decline in Bitcoin’s prices are causing pain in the mining industry that has spread throughout the supply chain.
Following the crypto market crash on October 10, a bearish sentiment has dominated, with on-chain data indicating a continued decline in digital asset prices. Bitcoin (BTC), for instance, is nearing one of its worst weekly performances of the year, having recorded a 6% drop over the past seven days. The leading cryptocurrency has fallen below the critical $100,000 mark for four consecutive days. If this downward trend persists and is confirmed in the coming days, it could exacerbate selling pressure and further instill fear in the market, potentially leading to broader price declines. Short-Term Weakness Likely To Persist Taking a broader view, the market presents a mixed picture. Solana (SOL) has decreased by 20% year-to-date, while Chainlink (LINK) has suffered a 33% drop. Although Bitcoin, XRP, and Ethereum (ETH) have seen some gains this year, they have not outperformed the stock market, which has risen by 14% during the same period. Related Reading: Samourai Wallet Co-Founder Sentenced To 5 Years In Prison For Money Laundering Interestingly, October also recorded the highest weekly inflow into global crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with $5.9 billion entering in the first week alone, primarily driven by Bitcoin and significant allocations to Ethereum. However, this has failed to result in new recoveries for these assets. Recent announcements from the Federal Reserve (Fed) indicate that it will cease quantitative tightening (QT) on December 1, accompanied by an interest rate cut. This change is expected to inject more liquidity into the crypto financial system. However, analysts at The Motley Fool caution that while increased liquidity does not guarantee higher cryptocurrency prices, the cessation of QT removes a persistent headwind. They argue that although the environment in October felt bleak, the policy outlook suggests a more favorable climate moving forward. This makes it hard to predict a deep bear market in crypto at this juncture, although short-term weakness is likely to persist for some time. Crypto Market Struggles For Stability While the recent selloff has affected the entire market, the most significant losses have been among altcoins. Augustine Fan, a partner at SignalPlus, noted that aside from Bitcoin and Ethereum, the broader crypto market has been struggling for months, with minimal new investments flowing into alt-tokens or decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. He highlighted that, without new catalysts and amid ongoing concerns regarding security and regulation, mainstream participation in the market is likely to remain subdued. Related Reading: XRP Price Correction Is Far From Over: Bearish Divergence Signals Potential Revisit To $2.05 Jeff Mei, the chief operating officer of crypto exchange BTSE, attributed the latest dip in digital assets partly to worries that artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are overvalued. He warned that if a selloff occurs in artificial intelligence and tech stocks, Bitcoin could potentially fall below the $100,000 threshold, with altcoins likely to experience even steeper declines. When writing, Bitcoin managed to recover above the $103,000 mark. Yet, the leading crypto is still 18% below all-time high levels of $126,000 reached just days before the infamous market crash on October 10. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
Cardano has entered a difficult phase as selling pressure intensifies across the crypto market. The price of ADA has fallen below the $0.60 level, a critical threshold that previously acted as both support and a psychological anchor for traders. With this breakdown, bullish momentum has faded, and the asset now faces mounting resistance amid a broader market downturn dominated by caution and fear. Related Reading: Bitcoin OI Suffers Deepest Drop Of The Cycle: $10B Leverage Wipeout Leaves Traders Cautious Market sentiment toward Cardano has turned notably bearish, reflecting growing uncertainty about short-term price stability. However, several analysts view the current decline as part of a natural market reset, potentially setting the stage for a healthier recovery once selling pressure subsides. According to recent on-chain data, whales — large holders responsible for significant portions of ADA’s supply — have been offloading millions of tokens in recent days. This selling activity has contributed to the latest drop, underscoring how institutional and large investor behavior continues to shape price direction. Whales Offload 4 ADA, Raising Fears of Panic Selling According to Santiment data, Cardano whales have offloaded more than 4 million ADA over the past week, signaling rising uncertainty among large holders. This wave of selling has added to the broader weakness seen across the market, as investors react to increasing volatility and fading confidence following Bitcoin’s recent dip below $100K. Analysts warn that such whale activity often triggers short-term panic selling, as retail traders interpret these moves as a sign of deeper distribution or loss of conviction from major holders. While the scale of the selloff remains moderate relative to Cardano’s overall supply, it has nevertheless amplified bearish sentiment around ADA’s short-term outlook. For the market to stabilize, much now depends on Bitcoin maintaining its current demand zone and Ethereum reclaiming higher levels above $3,400. Both assets continue to serve as the key drivers of broader crypto market sentiment and liquidity flow. If BTC can hold above $100K and ETH resumes its uptrend, confidence could quickly return to altcoins like Cardano. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Accumulate Aggressively: 394K ETH Worth $1.37B In Just 3 Days ADA Struggles Below $0.60 as Selling Pressure Persists Cardano’s (ADA) price remains under significant selling pressure, currently trading around $0.54 after losing the critical $0.60 support level earlier this week. The daily chart shows ADA struggling to gain traction above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, which now act as layered resistance between $0.70 and $0.75 — levels that must be reclaimed to shift momentum back in favor of the bulls. Recent price action reflects clear bearish control, with lower highs and lower lows forming since late September. The sharp rejection from $0.70 and subsequent decline below the 200-day moving average confirm that short-term traders remain hesitant to buy dips. However, the presence of a local demand zone around $0.50–$0.52 could provide temporary relief, as historical data shows this region acting as a strong accumulation area in prior market cycles. Related Reading: ‘Bitcoin $100K Break Was Emotional’ – On-Chain Data Shows No Structural Damage Volume spikes suggest active selling, likely driven by whale offloading identified by on-chain analytics. For a reversal, ADA would need to sustain a daily close above $0.60, supported by an increase in volume and a broader recovery across BTC and ETH. Until then, the outlook remains cautious, with risks of further downside if macro sentiment fails to stabilize. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, has identified a concerning trend in the Bitcoin (BTC) and broader cryptocurrency market that adds to the ongoing sentiment of bearishness among investors. Over 1 Million BTC Sold By OG Investors Since June In a recent post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Edwards highlighted that “OG” Bitcoin whales are actively cashing out their holdings. Related Reading: XRP Price Correction Is Far From Over: Bearish Divergence Signals Potential Revisit To $2.05 Accompanying his remarks was a chart illustrating the extent of this phenomenon, showing on-chain spending from “OG” Bitcoin holders—those who have held their assets for over seven years. The chart prominently features two color-coded categories: orange for $100 million dumps and red for $500 million dumps, vividly demonstrating the scale of liquidations by these long-term investors. Notably, the chart reveals that OG Bitcoin whales have been offloading their assets continuously since November 2024, which helps explain Bitcoin’s underperformance compared to other risk assets throughout 2025. Despite this selling pressure, the market has exhibited unusual resilience, absorbing these large sell-offs without experiencing the drastic price declines typically seen in previous cycles. This behavior represents a new pattern for the market, as Wall Street analysts have noted that the net sales from long-term holders have surpassed 1 million Bitcoin since late June, according to research from Compass Point analyst Ed Engel. Potential Liquidations Driving Bitcoin To $70,000 A significant liquidation of leveraged crypto positions on October 10 further compounded the market’s struggles, with Bitcoin failing to regain critical support levels of $117,000 and then $112,000. Markus Thielen, founder and CEO of Singapore-based 10X Research, expressed his concerns in an interview with Yahoo Finance, noting that the inability to reclaim these levels suggests that the market may indeed be in a bear cycle. His firm, which had previously predicted Bitcoin would fall to $100,000, now believes the market could be “a few weeks away” from finding a buyable bottom. Related Reading: Samourai Wallet Co-Founder Sentenced To 5 Years In Prison For Money Laundering Thielen also warned of a potential correction that could see Bitcoin prices decline further, citing the recent strength of the US dollar as an additional challenge for the crypto markets. He mentioned an “air pocket” below $93,000, indicating a lack of support that could lead to further liquidations, possibly driving prices down to the $70,000 range.

Speculations across the crypto space have ignited a wave of excitement for the XRP price as rumors linking BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, and Ripple, a crypto payments company, continue to spread. The possibility of XRP reaching $1,000 before the end of 2025 has become the latest hot topic, fueled by bold claims from top analysts who believe that this rumored partnership could set the stage for one of the most explosive bull runs in this cycle. BlackRock And Ripple Rumors To Send XRP Price To $1,000 Crypto market analyst ‘The Real Remi Relief’ has stirred significant interest with his post on X social media, claiming that if ongoing rumors about a potential partnership between BlackRock and Ripple prove true, the XRP price could reach $1,000 by the end of 2025. He advised holders to secure their XRP in cold wallets and prepare for a potential market-wide supply shock. Related Reading: Valuation Model That Puts XRP Price Above $18,000 Stuns Community His optimism stems from reports shared by another well-analyst @DelCrxpto, who revealed that sources deep within the crypto industry are hinting at a major development involving BlackRock and Ripple. According to these claims, the global asset manager may be preparing to collaborate with Ripple to establish infrastructure for the tokenization of all $5.3 trillion of its ETF liquidity. If such an initiative were to materialize, it would represent one of the largest integrations of blockchain into global finance. Ripple’s network, designed for fast and cost-effective asset transfers, could provide the foundation for tokenized ETFs, potentially transforming traditional investment markets. Additionally, the crypto payments company, which is already expanding into the Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization sector, will broaden its technology and services to support a broader range of financial products. The possibility of such a partnership has reignited optimism within the XRP community, especially after the recent Ripple Swell event, which featured participation from prominent names including BlackRock, Nasdaq, Franklin Templeton, The White House, and several other global institutions. Related Reading: Pundit Elaborates On Ripple/SWIFT Theory That Will Send The XRP Price To $1,000 Notably, an ETF tokenization deal between Ripple and BlackRock could elevate XRP’s role in the digital asset and financial ecosystem, driving institutional adoption, which could propel its price. Despite growing optimism about XRP’s price outlook, the rumors remain unconfirmed, and neither Ripple nor BlackRock has issued any official statement. XRP Expected To Explode Within The Next 3 Months Market analyst @Steph_iscrypto has added fuel to the bullish excitement surrounding the XRP price with a technical analysis suggesting that the cryptocurrency could soon enter another parabolic phase. He announced in his X post that “XRP will shock everyone in the next 1-3 months.” His accompanying weekly chart highlights bull rallies from past cycles, where XRP surged 2,117% in 2013, 110,466% in 2017, and 1,208% in 2020. Building on this trend, XRP has recently broken through a long-term resistance level, mirroring the early stages of its previous explosive bull cycles. If historical patterns repeat, the analyst suggests that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of another explosive bull run this cycle. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com

Analysts linked the pattern to large-scale repositioning by whales, with some addresses previously associated with HEX founder Richard Heart, who reportedly transferred over 162,000 ETH ($619 million) into Tornado Cash earlier this year. Despite the sell-off, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remained in “Extreme Fear” at 21/100, a sentiment level that historically aligns with market bottoms.

ETH's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: ETHUSD chart on Tradingview Institutional Staking and ETF Inflows Offer a Glimmer of Strength Institutional data paints a more resilient picture. SharpLink, a Nasdaq-listed firm, generated $100 million in annualized yield through Ethereum staking after accumulating 859,853 ETH valued at $2.9 billion. The company’s success has fueled a new “productive ETH” narrative, positioning Ethereum as a yield-bearing treasury asset rather than a speculative one. Market strategist Kyle Reidhead described SharpLink’s yield as “a $100 million plus compounding revenue stream that works in all market conditions,” projecting Ethereum’s staking advantage over Bitcoin’s static balance sheet model. On-chain analysts expect similar strategies from firms like Bitmine, JPMorgan, and other institutional players following the SEC’s approval of ETH staking ETFs earlier this year. Meanwhile, U.S. spot ETH ETFs recorded $12.5 million in inflows on November 6, ending a six-day outflow streak and lifting total assets under management to $21.75 billion, about 5.4% of Ethereum’s market value. Technical Indicators Suggest a Potential Ethereum Price Rebound Toward $3,900–$5,000 From a technical standpoint, the Ethereum price is hovering around the $3,200–$3,350 support range, a zone many analysts, including Michaël van de Poppe, call a “prime accumulation area.” Momentum indicators such as the RSI (46) and MACD (negative but flattening) suggest bearish exhaustion. Looking ahead, traders are eyeing the upcoming Fusaka upgrade, set for December 3, 2025, which introduces PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling) to improve data throughput and scalability. If ETH reclaims the $3,900 resistance, analysts project a recovery path toward $5,000 by year-end, supported by a decline in exchange supply and renewed institutional demand. Related Reading: XRP Price Correction Is Far From Over: Bearish Divergence Signals Potential Revisit To $2.05 As staking yields and ETF inflows strengthen Ethereum’s fundamentals, market participants increasingly see the current correction as a potential springboard for a Q4 rally rather than a prolonged downturn.
