On-chain data shows the retail interest in Bitcoin has been waning as small-holder volume has gone down during the past month. Bitcoin Retail Investor Demand Has Seen A Negative 30-Day Change In a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, an analyst has talked about the latest trend in the “Retail Investor Demand” of Bitcoin. This indicator provides an estimate for, as its name suggests, the amount of demand that the smallest of investors, the ‘retail,’ have toward the cryptocurrency right now. The metric does so by referring to the transaction volume associated with this cohort. Considering the small wallet size attached to these holders, their transfers would typically remain under a value of $10,000, so the volume related to them can be separated from the rest of the market by only restricting to transfers below this size. Related Reading: Bitcoin 3–5 Year Holders Slow Selloff—Waiting for Higher Prices? Now, here is the chart shared by the quant that shows the 30-day percentage change in the Bitcoin Retail Investor Demand over the past year: As is visible in the above graph, the Bitcoin Retail Investor Demand saw its 30-day change enter into the positive territory when the latest bull rally first started, suggesting that the small investors increased their transfer activity. The 30-day change continued a gradual rise as the run played out, but after the cryptocurrency set its new all-time high (ATH), it noted a reversal in direction. Today, the metric has declined enough to dip back into the negative territory, meaning that retail investor volume is now going down on the monthly timeframe. From the chart, it’s also apparent that even at its peak, the 30-day change in the Retail Investor Demand never actually touched a high level this rally, which is in sharp contrast to the run from the end of 2024. Thus, it would appear that the recent price surge not only failed to ignite any notable level of interest among the small hands but also failed to maintain the attention that it did gather. The switch to a negative monthly change for the Retail Investor Demand could be down to the bearish action that the coin’s price has seen since the ATH, but the fact of the matter is that Bitcoin is currently still very much in range of this record, so it’s interesting to see this sentiment among the group.

As displayed in the chart, the Bitcoin miners have seen their volume share sharply go down recently and drop to the lowest level since 2022. This implies these chain validators have seen their activity plummet relative to the rest of the network. BTC Price Bitcoin has taken to sideways movement recently as its price is still trading around the $105,200 mark.

US President Donald Trump’s circle moved closer to rolling out two big crypto products this week. One announcement sparked a public mix‐up over who’s doing what. The other took a formal step toward a Bitcoin exchange‐traded fund. Both moves show the family’s push for more crypto ties. Related Reading: XRP Could Transform Your Finances Long Before $10K, Angel Investor Says Trump Token Wallet Claim Fuels Confusion According to reports, @GetTrumpMemes on X said on Tuesday that a new crypto wallet branded with US President Trump’s picture is coming. The post said Magic Eden will power the wallet and that users could grab up to $1 million in TRUMP token rewards by joining a waitlist. Some readers rushed to sign up. But then Donald Trump Jr., who serves as Web3 Ambassador to World Liberty Financial (WLFI), posted that his family isn’t involved in that exact product. He called out the official TRUMP token account and said WLFI will launch its own branded wallet at a later date. With Billions of Trump fans around the world, the $TRUMP mission has always been to make it super easy for Trump supporters to get into crypto and join the $TRUMP community.

Join the $TRUMP community!… pic.twitter.com/7nIubWIdqw — TrumpMeme (@GetTrumpMemes) June 3, 2025 Eric Trump chimed in too, saying he and his brother have no link to the version teased by the TRUMP token team. That disagreement left fans scratching their heads. Who really owns this wallet? It’s clear that the brand name draws attention, but so does the split between the token’s official page and the Trump family’s own statements. Family Firm Files For Bitcoin ETF Based on filings, NYSE Arca took the first legal step on Tuesday to list a Truth Social Bitcoin spot ETF. The 19b-4 request went to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Yorkville American Digital, a Florida asset manager, is the sponsor. If approved, this would become the 13th US Bitcoin spot ETF and join big names like BlackRock and Fidelity. The move follows an April partnership between Trump Media and Crypto.com to launch “Made In America” exchange‐traded products that include Bitcoin and Crypto.com’s Cronos token. Back then, people in crypto circles saw a sign that Trump Media aims to bundle patriotism with digital coins. Now the new filing shows they’re serious about offering a mainstream Bitcoin fund.

And Trump Media said it plans a Bitcoin Treasury worth $2.5 billion at launch. So the family name is already tied to crypto money. Yet the wallet announcement on X and the family’s denials highlight how fast things can sound official—especially when magic Eden and a popular meme token are involved. One side says, “We’re doing it,” while the other side says, “Not us.” When branding blurs the lines between projects, users may wonder which link to trust. That split can hurt credibility, even if the goal is to ride high on an eye‐catching name. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

According to expert analysts, the XRP price is showing renewed bullish momentum, with projections suggesting a potential rally to the 1.618 Fib at $21 this bull cycle. While this projection may seem ambitious, the analyst’s bullish outlook doesn’t stop there. Once XRP hits $21, it is expected to continue its upward trajectory toward its next target of $152. XRP Price Eyes Powerful Breakout To New Targets A recent technical analysis of XRP’s long-term price chart is igniting significant buzz in the crypto community, as the altcoin appears to be forming a familiar pattern that previously led to exponential gains. The chart, published by a well-known crypto expert, Javon Marks, suggests that XRP could be on the brink of a powerful price breakout, with expectations pointing toward the $21 price level and beyond. Related Reading: Wave Structure Puts XRP Price In The $18.22-$23.20 Range In The Short Term Marks’ analysis identifies two major symmetrical triangle formations in XRP’s price history—one that preceded its explosive rally in 2017 and another that concluded with a fresh breakout in 2024. In the earlier cycle, XRP surged thousands of percent after breaking out of its consolidation pattern, topping near the 2.272 Fibonacci level. This historical price movement is now being used to forecast what could come next for the altcoin. According to the chart, XRP recently rose to the 1.0 Fibonacci level near $3.31 but retraced back toward $2. If the current cycle mirrors the previous one, Marks predicts that the next significant level of interest lies at the 1.618 Fibonacci Extension level, which aligns with the $21 price target. Notably, a surge to this double-digit territory would represent an over 800% increase from current levels around $2.23. However, Marks’ optimistic projection does not stop there. Should XRP replicate the full extension it made in the past, the price is forecasted to reach the 2.272 Fibonacci level once again, this time sitting around a jaw-dropping $152. While this forecast may seem over the top, the analyst has shown strong confidence in XRP’s future price outlook, utilizing past price action as a blueprint and technical indicator to determine the altcoin’s upside potential. Analyst’s XRP Forecast Met With Skepticism On one hand, Marks’ bullish XRP price forecast was met with excitement, and on the other, the majority of crypto community members expressed doubts about the overly ambitious targets. The projection of a move to $21 and possibly even higher to $152 has been met with caution and skepticism among community members. Related Reading: Bullish Candle Formation Suggests The XRP Price Could Touch $22 While historical patterns can provide a roadmap to a potential price rally, critics responding to Marks’ analysis argue that reaching the triple-digit territory is virtually impossible for XRP currently. One member suggested that a more realistic target for the altcoin was between $13 and $20. Others questioned the feasibility of hitting these bullish targets within the proposed timeline, debating whether it could happen by the end of 2025 or even Q1 2026.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is teetering on a critical edge as price action tightens within a descending triangle pattern, hinting at rising bearish pressure. The meme-inspired cryptocurrency has entered a phase of low volatility and narrowing price movement, a classic sign of market indecision that often precedes a significant breakout or breakdown. With the 200-period moving average applying dynamic resistance from above and horizontal support showing signs of strain, DOGE’s technical landscape suggests a potential collapse could be on the horizon if buyers fail to defend key levels. Price Coils Within Bearish Formation Ahead Of Potential Breakout Market analyst Thomas Anderson, in a recent post on X, pointed out that “DOGE is consolidating within a descending triangle pattern on the M30 timeframe,” signaling a period of indecision. This chart pattern, often seen in bearish continuations, is characterized by a flat support base with lower highs pressing from above. As Dogecoin trades deeper into this structure, the probability of a breakout, either upward or downward, is increasing with each narrowing move. Related Reading: Dogecoin’s Fate Hinges On This Price Level, Analysts Agree Anderson further explained that DOGE is “currently testing the upper resistance around $0.19998,” a key level that has capped recent bullish attempts. This resistance aligns with the descending trendline of the triangle and is strengthened by the 200 MA (red line), acting as dynamic resistance. The presence of the 200-period moving average at this level adds extra weight to the upper line, making any potential breakout attempt more challenging for the bulls in the near term. Until price action breaks decisively in either direction, DOGE remains locked in a tightening range. For now, Anderson’s observations underline the importance of this technical structure, as DOGE nears a critical inflection point. Triangle Compression Builds Tension For Dogecoin The analyst further emphasized that momentum appears to be weakening as Dogecoin’s price action tightens near the apex of the descending triangle. According to the expert’s observations, the 1-hour chart reinforces this broader consolidation phase, showing a clear compression of price within the pattern. This type of setup often leads to an explosive move once the market chooses a direction. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Resistance In View: Why The Key Lies At $0.25 A confirmed breakout above the $0.19998 resistance could pave the way for a short-term bullish run, with higher targets potentially opening up if volume supports the move, potentially invalidating the bearish triangle pattern. However, failure to breach this resistance level may reinforce the bearish structure, increasing the likelihood of a pullback toward the lower triangle support around $0.19010, a critical area where buyers previously stepped in.

The move is part of a wider systematic shift in priorities for the organization, including supporting Ethereum's ecosystem of applications.
Bitcoin is witnessing a tough battle between the bulls and the bears at $105,000, but several altcoins are showing strength with potential breakout setups.
Ethereum is showing impressive resilience as it continues to hold above critical levels despite ongoing market volatility. While Bitcoin struggles to break past its all-time highs, ETH remains stable, maintaining bullish structure and fueling hopes for a broader altcoin rally. Analysts across the market are eyeing a potential altseason, with Ethereum expected to lead the charge once it clears major supply zones. Related Reading: Ethereum Daily Chart Signals Strength Amid Market Uncertainty – Analyst However, the spotlight is shifting to a less discussed but highly significant chart—ETHBTC. According to top analyst Daan, the ETHBTC pair has been consolidating in a tight range between 0.022 and 0.026 since the last squeeze. This consolidation suggests a period of accumulation and reduced volatility, but it also acts as a crucial signal for altcoin momentum. If ETHBTC breaks above the 0.026 resistance level, Daan suggests it could trigger a temporary but powerful rally in ALT/BTC pairs. Sectors closely tied to Ethereum—such as DeFi protocols, ETH-based memecoins, and Layer 2 ecosystems—could benefit most from such a move. Until then, investors are closely monitoring ETH’s performance relative to BTC, as it remains one of the most reliable indicators of capital rotation within the crypto market. ETHBTC Chart Becomes Key to Altseason Outlook Ethereum is currently trading at a pivotal range, with investors closely watching for a breakout that could lead to new highs and potentially ignite the long-anticipated altseason. Despite global tensions and continued macroeconomic uncertainty—particularly surrounding the aggressive and unstable Bond market—ETH has remained relatively strong. Bulls are optimistic, viewing the current consolidation as a healthy pause before the next leg up. One of the most important signals for altcoin momentum is not found on the USD chart, but in the ETHBTC pair. Daan points out that Ethereum’s price relative to Bitcoin has been consolidating between the 0.022 and 0.026 BTC range since the recent squeeze. This range now acts as a pressure point for the market. A breakout above 0.026 would likely catalyze a surge in altcoin strength, especially among Ethereum-related assets like DeFi protocols, ETH-based memecoins, and Layer 2 solutions. However, Daan warns that if ETHBTC drops below 0.0224, it could signal weakness for alts relative to BTC. It’s important to remember that ALT/BTC pairs can fall even if altcoin USD prices rise, particularly during aggressive BTC rallies. The same applies in reverse. For now, ETH’s position in this range remains one of the most telling signs of where the broader crypto market might head next. Related Reading: Ethereum Reclaims Pivotal Level – Key Resistance Around $2,650 Ethereum Faces Resistance As Bulls Attempt Breakout Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading around $2,640, showing signs of strength after holding its ground above the $2,500 mark. On the daily chart, ETH is forming a clear consolidation pattern just below a key resistance zone defined by the 200-day moving average (currently at $2,676). This level has repeatedly capped price action over the past few weeks, signaling strong supply pressure in this area. Despite the lack of a decisive breakout, Ethereum is maintaining a bullish structure with higher lows and consistent volume support. The 34-day EMA has turned upward and currently sits at $2,418, providing dynamic support and reinforcing the short-term uptrend. If ETH can reclaim the 200-day SMA and push above $2,700, a broader rally could follow, potentially opening the path toward $3,000 and beyond. Related Reading: Solana Reclaims Key Support After Sweeping Lows – Early Signs Of Reversal? On the downside, if price fails to break this resistance and sellers take control, immediate support lies near $2,500, followed by stronger demand around $2,350–$2,400 where the 50- and 100-day SMAs converge. For now, Ethereum remains in a balanced state, showing resilience, but still needs a strong catalyst to overcome the technical ceiling that continues to stall upward momentum.
