Despite the Federal Reserve (Fed)’s announcement of a 25-basis-point rate cut, Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped nearly 4% in the past 24 hours, losing its local range low for the first time in a week. Some analysts have warned that this week’s close is crucial for the flagship crypto’s short-term performance. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) Prepares For ‘Last Euphoric Run’ As Whales Go On $135M Buying Spree Bitcoin Price Eyes Crucial Weekly Close On Thursday, Bitcoin dropped below the recently reclaimed $110,000 area, hitting a one-week low of $106,700. Notably, the cryptocurrency has been trading within the $108,000-$120,000 price range since July, but has failed to reclaim the range highs after the early October correction. Amid this performance, Ted Pillows suggested that the market volatility was expected, as BTC has shown a similar price action since the start of Q3. The analyst explained that Bitcoin has dropped 6%-8% after the last three Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, but it has also made a new all-time high (ATH) before the next one. According to the chart, BTC’s price reached its local bottom 5-9 days after the meeting, quickly recovering from the drop and rallying to new highs in the coming weeks. As price retests the $106,000 area, Ted predicted that a repeat of the same playbook could happen. However, he warned that Bitcoin must reclaim the $113,500 in the coming days to prevent a larger pullback. “A weekly close below that level will increase the likelihood of a bigger correction,” the analyst explained. Similarly, Rekt Capital pointed out that Bitcoin must close the week above the $114,500 to turn this level back into support. He noted that after the recent performance, a volatile retest of this level would be “perfectly fine” as long price closes above this crucial level at the end of the week. Confirming the Range Low of ~$114k as support would confirm re-entry into the Range, kickstart consolidation within the Range again, and enable a move across it towards the Range High of ~$119000 (red) in an effort to breakout from it and challenge $120k+ once again. Is BTC’s End-Of-Year Rally Still On? Michaël van de Poppe affirmed that $112,000 is the next key area to break before a new ATH, as it has been a crucial resistance level in the daily timeframe for the past few weeks. Per the post, a breakout from this area could set the base for a retest of the $119,000-$120,000 zone. On the contrary, a rejection from this level could send the price toward the $103,000 mark or lower, he warned. “I do think we’ll see a new ATH in November,” the market watcher added.” Meanwhile, Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that BTC is “just playing ping pong” between its key levels and will continue to move within its range until one of the boundaries is successfully broken. Related Reading: Bitwise CIO Predicts Solana Staking ETF Will Be ‘Huge’ As First Day Volume Hits $56M The trader added that November is one of Bitcoin’s best months based on historical performance, which could suggest that a price rally could be near. Notably, 8 out of 12 Novembers have closed in green, with a median return of 10.82%, according to CoinGlass data. Moreover, he noted that the last two months of the year are when the three previous bull runs topped and the past two bear markets bottomed. “Whether it’s on the bullish or bearish side, volatility and big market pivots have been the theme into the end of the year,” he concluded.

According to market figures, Dogecoin remains one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market value, carrying a market cap near $28 billion. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ignites — 60% Volume Boom Teases Potential Rally The token’s price has fallen sharply lately — about 20% in the last month and roughly 30% so far in 2025 — moves that have put traders and casual holders on edge. Meme Coin Origins Dogecoin started as a joke. Based on reports, its creators never set out to build a major payments system or a technical breakthrough. That origin still matters. On-chain activity and payment volume for DOGE are lower than for many rivals, and that makes the token prone to sudden, often large swings. Quick rallies happen. Sudden drops do too. Market Mood & Risk A wider shift in the crypto market is also at work. Reports show meme tokens have lost favor this year. That pullback has pushed coins with weaker fundamentals into deeper declines. When markets turn cautious, speculative coins are usually hit hard. Price Forecast & Sentiment Despite the memecoin’s dismal performance of late, Dogecoin price prediction points to an increase of 13% and reach $ 0.21 by November 29, 2025. Based on technical indicators, the current sentiment is Bearish while the Fear & Greed Index is showing 34 (Fear). Still, some traders believe this downturn may be the point where the real gains begin, arguing that DOGE’s strongest rallies often follow periods of fear and steep declines. Those numbers show mixed signals: the model expects gains over the coming month, while short-term indicators point to weak momentum and fear among traders. That split can lead to choppy trading, where prices move up for a few days and then fall again. Community interest and media attention still move DOGE. Big social moments can lift prices quickly. They can also reverse direction just as fast. That dynamic separates Dogecoin from projects that trade mainly on protocol upgrades or corporate deals. For many investors, headlines matter more than slow technical progress. Foundational Moves Based on reports, the Dogecoin Foundation has been pushing to build a more formal ecosystem. Plans and partnerships have been discussed. Whether those efforts will change how the market values DOGE is uncertain. Some proposals take months to show results. Others remain only ideas until wider adoption appears. Related Reading: Avalanche Expands In Asia — Japan’s Biggest Card Processor Joins The Network DOGE Optimism Still High Dogecoin’s sharp slide this year reflects both its meme-coin roots and a market-wide move away from risky crypto assets. The key figures are plain: nearly $28 billion in market cap, a 20% drop in the past month, and 30% down for the year. Reports and models show a possible bounce to $ 0.2146 by November 29, but technical signals still read Bearish. Even so, some market watchers think this could be the setup for the next big DOGE rally, arguing that major recoveries often begin when sentiment is at its weakest.

In a recent financial disclosure, two of the crypto industry’s giants, Coinbase (COIN) and Strategy (MSTR), reported significant gains in their third-quarter (Q3) results. Coinbase Surges Past Profit Expectations Coinbase exceeded analysts’ expectations for its Q3 profit, buoyed by increased volatility in digital assets that elevated trading volumes on its platform. The company reported a transaction revenue of $1.05 billion for the quarter, a substantial rise from $572.5 million during the same period last year. Additionally, the cryptocurrency exchange recorded a net income of $432.6 million, translating to $1.50 per share, compared to just $75.5 million, or $0.28 per share, a year prior. Analysts had projected a profit of $1.06 per share, according to Reuters. Related Reading: Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum Dip Post Fed’s Rate Cut: What’s Next For Crypto? Coinbase also completed its acquisition of Deribit in the third quarter. Alesia Haas, the company’s finance chief, noted during a conference call that Deribit commands over 75% of the market share for options, primarily outside the US. This acquisition opens pathways for Coinbase to expand its options market within the US. As part of its broader strategy, Coinbase also highlighted its commitment to accelerating payments through stablecoin adoption, citing favorable policy trends and growing interest from financial institutions and corporations. David Bartosiak, a stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research, remarked, “Coinbase is cash-rich and growth-ready,” emphasizing that the company is evolving beyond merely trading cryptocurrencies to establishing the infrastructure for a new financial internet. Largest Corporate Bitcoin Holder Posts $2.78 Billion Net Profit Meanwhile, Strategy, previously MicroStrategy, reported profits in the third quarter after experiencing a loss the previous year. This positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency sector has benefited the company, which is the largest corporate Bitcoin (BTC) holder. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Path Ahead: 10 Indicators Converge For Market Surge, End-Of-2025 Projections As of October 26, the company held 640,808 Bitcoin, with a total acquisition cost of $47.44 billion, averaging $74,032 per BTC. With the market’s leading crypto currently trading around $107,400 when writing, the company’s holdings are positioned for significant appreciation. Strategy’s net profit for the three months ended September 30 was reported at $2.78 billion, or $8.42 per share, contrasting sharply with a loss of $340.2 million, or $1.72 per share, a year earlier. However, it’s worth noting that Strategy’s shares have declined 12% so far in 2025, even as Bitcoin prices have risen by 14.5%. COIN stocks closed Thursday’s trading session with a 3% surge toward $328 on the wake of the financial disclosure. Similarly, Strategy’s shares climbed nearly 4% following its earnings report toward the $254 mark. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Zcash (ZEC) is stealing the spotlight once again. The privacy-focused asset has surged more than 50% in the past week, climbing above $350 and fueling talk of a potential return to the top 20 digital assets by market capitalization. Related Reading: Bitcoin Technical Setup Shows Short-Term Pullback May Fuel Long-Term Upside Behind this rally lies a mix of technical strength, institutional catalysts, and renewed global demand for digital privacy. ZEC's price trends to the upside with recent small losses on the daily chart. Source: ZECUSD on Tradingview Zcash’s Shielded Supply Hits 4.5 Million Supporting Zcash’s resurgence is a major milestone. 4.5 million ZEC are now stored in shielded addresses, representing roughly 28% of total supply. These shielded pools leverage Zcash’s zero-knowledge proof technology (zk-SNARKs), allowing users to transact privately without revealing sender, receiver, or transaction amounts. This rise in shielded coins signals growing trust in ZEC’s privacy infrastructure, especially as wallets and exchanges improve support for shielded transactions. The move also expands Zcash’s overall anonymity set, strengthening privacy for all participants while tightening on-chain liquidity. As one of the oldest and most advanced privacy blockchains, ZEC’s growth in shielded adoption reinforces its core mission of financial confidentiality in an increasingly monitored digital world. Technical Indicators Point to More Upside Zcash’s market momentum remains robust. Daily trading volume soared above $730 million, while the RSI at 71.8 and a bullish MACD crossover suggest strong buying pressure. The token’s structure continues to make higher highs and higher lows, indicating a healthy uptrend. Analysts see resistance near $370–$400, with a potential breakout opening the path toward $450–$500 in the coming weeks. ZEC’s recent surge also coincides with Arthur Hayes’ bold prediction that the coin could reach $1,000, as the market rotates into privacy-focused assets. With Grayscale’s Zcash Trust surpassing $137 million in assets under management, and whispers of a possible ETF conversion, institutional exposure could further amplify this rally. Privacy Tokens Regain Spotlight Amid Regulatory Uncertainty Zcash’s resurgence reflects a broader renewal of interest in privacy tokens like Monero (XMR) amid heightened surveillance and KYC mandates in global markets. As governments tighten oversight, traders and institutions are rediscovering ZEC’s unique role as a bridge between compliant infrastructure and privacy rights. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crash To $87,600 Looms If This Support Snaps, Warns Veteran Analyst If Zcash sustains its current momentum, maintains its 4.5M shielded supply growth, and breaks the $400 ceiling, a return to the top 20 cryptos by market cap could soon become reality, supporting ZEC’s comeback as the flagship privacy asset of this cycle.

Ethereum (ETH) is struggling to break above the $4,000 mark and regain a clear bullish structure, with price action tightening after several failed attempts to reclaim momentum. The market remains cautious following recent volatility, and traders are watching closely to determine whether ETH will resume its uptrend or continue drifting lower. Analysts are currently split: some argue Ethereum’s fundamentals remain strong, fueled by network activity, scaling advancements, and institutional traction, while others point to increasing downside pressure and weakening market structure that could lead to a deeper pullback. Related Reading: Ethereum ICO Whale Awakens After 8 Years – 1,500 ETH Sent to Kraken After 8 Years Despite the uncertainty in price, fresh on-chain data signals growing confidence among long-term participants. According to Santiment, more than 200,000 ETH — worth approximately $780 million — have been withdrawn from exchanges over the past 48 hours, marking one of the largest short-term outflow spikes this quarter. Such activity typically suggests accumulation, as investors move assets into self-custody rather than keeping them on exchanges to sell. This divergence between price hesitation and heavy accumulation reinforces the current market debate. With liquidity dynamics shifting, Ethereum sits at a pivotal moment, and its ability to reclaim $4,000 will likely determine whether bullish momentum re-emerges heading into November. Large ETH Withdrawals Signal Investor Conviction As Market Shifts Toward Risk-On Environment The recent wave of large Ethereum withdrawals from exchanges further reinforces a growing theme in the market: investor conviction is strengthening. With more than 200,000 ETH moved into self-custody within 48 hours, many participants appear confident in Ethereum’s medium-term outlook, suggesting accumulation rather than distribution. Historically, substantial exchange outflows have coincided with accumulation phases ahead of major market advances, especially when paired with favorable macro shifts. For many analysts, Ethereum now sits at the center of a potential bullish impulse across altcoins. Despite its recent struggle to convincingly reclaim the $4,000 level, sentiment in the broader market remains constructive. ETH continues to benefit from fundamental tailwinds, including increasing network utility, expanding Layer-2 activity, and rising staking participation. If market conditions turn decisively risk-on, Ethereum’s role as the primary settlement and liquidity hub for the altcoin ecosystem positions it to lead capital flows. Macro conditions are also aligning in ETH’s favor. With the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points and signaling the end of quantitative tightening, global liquidity is expected to gradually improve. Historically, shifts toward monetary easing have accelerated inflows into risk assets — crypto included. As traditional markets anticipate a clearer pivot, investors may increasingly seek exposure to high-beta assets with strong structural narratives, and Ethereum fits that profile.

After failing to sustain moves above the $4,200 resistance area earlier this month, ETH has drifted lower into a tightening range, reflecting indecision and reduced volatility following recent macro-driven swings. The chart shows ETH trading below both the 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages, which currently sit just above price and are acting as dynamic resistance. For bulls, reclaiming these levels — particularly a daily close above $4,050–$4,150 — would be a constructive sign that momentum is shifting back in favor of buyers. Such a reclaim could open a path toward retesting $4,300–$4,500, where recent supply pressure has consistently emerged. Related Reading: Binance Whales Turn Active On Uniswap As Outflows Hit Multi-Month Highs – Details On the downside, the $3,800 level remains the primary support to watch.

However, the 200-day moving average (red) remains well below the price near $3,200, signaling that the long-term bullish structure is still intact.
