Dogecoin’s weekly chart is flashing one of technical analysis’ most recognizable continuation structures, with crypto analyst badger (@badger0102) mapping a potential macro cup-and-handle that spans the entire 2021–2025 cycle and projects upside far beyond prior peaks. “DOGE 1W – Potential macro cup and handle forming,” the trader wrote alongside a TradingView screenshot of DOGE/USD (Binance). At the time of the chart, price printed around $0.2268, sitting squarely between the 0.50 and 0.618 Fibonacci retracements of the measured move. Dogecoin Cup And Handle Signals Explosive Potential The “cup” portion traces a multi-year basing arc from the euphoric 2021 blow-off through a prolonged decline into the 2022–2023 trough and a rounded recovery that accelerated in 2024. That left rim is defined by the 2021 distribution area and a dashed, falling trendline that guided price lower until being conclusively broken during the 2024 advance. Related Reading: 21Shares’ Spot Dogecoin ETF Hits DTCC—Will It Ignite A Rally? The low of the base aligns with the 0.00 Fibonacci anchor near $0.0491, while the right rim formed during the Q1–Q2 2025 thrust that stalled just beneath the 0.786 retracement at ~$0.4181 and ahead of the 0.886 at ~$0.5490, marking the structural “lip” of the cup. Following that surge, DOGE carved a classic “handle” pullback into mid-2025, bottoming in the $0.14 region—neatly bracketing the 0.382 retracement at ~$0.1391—before pivoting higher. The rebound has since reclaimed the 0.50 at ~$0.1919 and is pressing toward the 0.618 at ~$0.2646, the first key level bulls must clear to maintain the handle’s constructive geometry. As drawn, the handle’s depth remains proportionate (approximately a 38–50% retrace of the right-rim advance), preserving the pattern’s validity on a weekly timeframe. The chart lays out an orderly ladder of resistances and targets should momentum persist. Above $0.2646 (0.618), the structure’s neckline/rim zone emerges between the mid-$0.30s and low-$0.40s, capped by the 0.786 at ~$0.4181. A weekly close through that band would constitute the textbook cup-and-handle breakout and opens measured-move and extension objectives higher up the stack: 0.886 at ~$0.5490, the 1.000 extension near ~$0.7488, and the 1.128 at ~$1.0611. The chart’s focal marker is a highlighted circle at the **1.414 Fibonacci extension—approximately $2.3119—framed as the macro target if the pattern completes and trends extend. Related Reading: Dogecoin Down 18%, But Whale Withdraws 122 Million DOGE From Binance On the downside, the handle’s structure provides a clear invalidation map. Immediate support rests at the 0.50 ($~0.1919), followed by $~0.1391 (0.382) and $~0.0934 (0.236). A sustained loss of the handle low in the mid-$0.15s would undercut the pattern, risking a return toward the deep-base band above $0.05 anchored at $0.0491. Contextually, the multi-year rounding base underscores a significant shift from distribution to accumulation, evidenced by the break of the long dashed downtrend drawn from the 2021 high through 2022–2023. The right-side advance and orderly handle retracement fit the classic momentum-pause-continuation sequence technicians look for on higher-timeframe charts. Confirmation, however, remains conditional on follow-through: bulls need to absorb supply into $0.26–$0.27, attack the $0.35–$0.42 rim, and then register a weekly breakout with expanding range to activate the upper Fibonacci targets. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.225. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Ether price weakness over the past two weeks has resulted in the relative strength index flashing a potential bottom signal not seen since early April.
Ethereum has fallen below the $4,000 level for the first time since early August, marking a significant shift in market sentiment. After weeks of strong performance, ETH has now lost nearly 20% of its value since September 13, leaving many traders concerned about the next move. The broader market correction has fueled uncertainty, but some analysts argue this is a necessary reset that could prepare the ground for renewed growth. Related Reading: 11 Wallets Receive 295,861 Ethereum ($1.19B) From Major Institutions: Accumulation Or OTC Shuffle? Top analyst Darkfost highlights that Ethereum’s Open Interest is experiencing one of its biggest resets. He notes that after an extended period of bullish momentum, excess leverage has been punished, leading to a sharp contraction in positions. This decline is especially visible on Binance, where much of the recent ETH trading activity has taken place. While the drop in price and sentiment appears negative, analysts see potential positives in this reset. Lower Open Interest often reduces the risk of cascading liquidations and allows the market to stabilize. For Ethereum, this moment may serve as a critical test of its ability to hold strong levels of support and set the stage for its next move once bullish momentum returns. Ethereum’s Open Interest Reset Marks a Turning Point Darkfost explains that the recent shift in Ethereum’s Open Interest is not only significant but also one of the sharpest resets observed since the start of 2024. Historically, such resets follow periods where excessive leverage pushes Open Interest to unsustainable levels, as was the case for ETH in recent weeks. The cryptocurrency had been attracting a large share of market attention, fueled by ETF enthusiasm and strong accumulation patterns, which left it vulnerable to sharp liquidations. Once liquidations accumulate and Open Interest falls, the immediate selling pressure often begins to ease. This tends to create conditions where the market can stabilize and, in some cases, prepare for recovery. The dynamic can be seen as a “cleansing” effect, flushing out overextended traders and restoring balance to the market structure. In detail, Binance recorded the steepest monthly average decline, with more than $3 billion in Open Interest wiped out on September 23rd, followed by another $1 billion yesterday. Bybit also faced a reduction of $1.2 billion, while OKX dropped around $580 million. These figures underscore the scale of the reset across major derivatives platforms. This contraction reflects a broader market reset, unwinding an environment that had become dangerously over-leveraged. For Ethereum, it may mark the beginning of a healthier phase, where reduced speculative pressure allows organic demand and fundamentals to play a stronger role in shaping the next trend. Related Reading: Ethereum Accumulator Addresses Inflows Explode: 400K ETH Added In 24H Despite Selloff Price Action Insights: Testing Critical Levels Ethereum (ETH) is trading near $3,939, marking a sharp decline of over 5% in the latest session and extending its correction since the early September peak above $4,700. This drop has brought ETH below the key $4,000 psychological level for the first time since August, signaling rising selling pressure. The chart shows ETH breaking down after forming a double top pattern around the $4,700–$4,800 range, a classic bearish signal that suggested exhaustion of upward momentum. The rejection from this zone has now pushed ETH closer to its 50-day moving average (blue), which previously acted as strong support during the rally. A decisive close below this line could open the door to a deeper retrace toward the 200-day moving average (red), now positioned near $3,100–$3,200. Related Reading: ASTER Pushes To New All-Time High As Bullish Structure Supports Continuation – Details Despite the current weakness, ETH remains in a broader uptrend when viewed from the July low near $2,200. That rebound established a strong bullish structure, and as long as ETH holds above the $3,500–$3,600 region, the long-term outlook remains constructive. For now, bulls must reclaim $4,200 to regain momentum, while failure to hold current levels may accelerate selling pressure and test deeper supports in the coming sessions.

On September 25, 2025, nine European banks formed a consortium to develop a euro-backed stablecoin, set to launch in the second half of 2026. The consortium has created a new Netherlands-based company to issue the token. The central European banks forming the consortium include UniCredit (Italy), ING (Netherlands), DekaBank (Germany), Banca Sella (Italy), KBC Group (Belgium), Danske Bank (Denmark), SEB (Sweden), CaixaBank (Spain), and Raiffeisen Bank International (Austria). The goal is to challenge dollar dominance in stablecoins. The current stablecoin market is almost entirely dominated by the US dollar via $USDT ($173B market cap) and $USDC ($74B). Thus, most global crypto and digital payments rely on USD rather than EUR. Another possible reason could be Europe’s intention to attain strategic autonomy. Europe stepping in with its own stablecoin is seen as an effort to create an alternative to $USDT and $USDC, while also regaining control over digital payments and settlements. As Europe takes a bold step towards launching its own stablecoin, investors’ interest in crypto projects and utility-driven tokens with real momentum is rising. One standout is Best Wallet Token ($BEST), a token backing a mobile-first crypto wallet. It’s currently in presale, having raised over $16.1M to date. Europe’s Big Push for Regulated Euro Stablecoins and Digital Sovereignty With the EU’s MiCA regulation offering a clear framework for stablecoin issuance, Europe has a safer backdrop to launch euro-backed stablecoins. This context already makes for an optimistic outlook. In light of the news, several European leaders and officials also voiced their positive opinions on a Euro stablecoin: Floris Lugt, ING’s digital assets lead, noted that stablecoins can speed up cross-border payments and cross-currency settlements. A recent ING press release covering Lugt’s statement went on to further explain how stablecoins can automate business transactions and improve supply chain payments. Similarly, ECB Governing Council member Joachim Nagel called the digital euro an essential milestone for EU financial sovereignty. Francois Villeroy de Galhau, Governor of the Bank of France, warned that if Europe falls behind the US stablecoin’s growth, the continent risks being dominated by private, dollar-backed stablecoins in the future. The EU’s bold new move is welcomed by retail and institutional investors worldwide considering the potential growth of the stablecoin market, with analysts estimating stablecoins potentially handling $100T–$200T in annual payments by 2030. The growth of stablecoins may not only benefit banks but also boost demand for secure stablecoin wallets and related utility tokens, such as Best Wallet Token ($BEST), which is already undergoing a booming presale. Its wallet app already powers onramping, secure storage, transfers, and swaps for stablecoins and other tokens across top blockchains. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Utility Crypto with a Secure, Multi-Chain Wallet and DeFi Features Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is the native token of Best Wallet, a top-notch multi-chain asset storage offering seamless access to crypto onramping, DeFi platforms, and integrated decentralized swaps. Within this ecosystem, $BEST provides exclusive holder benefits, including: Governance rights, Reduced trading fees, Higher staking rewards in the upcoming staking aggregator, Access to vetted Stage Zero presales in the app’s launchpad. Learn more about Best Wallet Token with our guide. Then, we have Best Wallet, which is on a mission to capture 40% of the crypto wallet market by the end of 2026. As with any scaling crypto storage ecosystem, Best Wallet has built its own token to keep users engaged, fund growth, and build community ownership. The Best Wallet ecosystem itself stands out as a highly promising platform thanks to its comprehensive roadmap. It includes upcoming features such as the staking aggregator we mentioned, plus a crypto debit card, integrated market analytics, and derivatives trading. By the end of stage 4, this app will be an all-in-one crypto solution for retail traders. Backed by this vision, the $BEST token provides investors with direct exposure to the ecosystem’s growth. For early investors, it offers the added advantage of securing tokens at a lower price, positioning them to benefit most as the Best Wallet expands into multi-chain finance. $BEST Token Presale Is Booming, Attracting Whale Buyers $BEST’s presale has gained strong momentum, already raising $16.1M. Whales are now circling in, staking their bags with $BEST worth $70.2K and $50.9K, a clear reflection of the project’s strong upside potential. With the token currently priced at $0.025695 and our $BEST price prediction forecasting 98% growth in 2026, this could make a good long-term play for investors who seek to diversify. If our expert $BEST predictions come to fruition, a $500 investment in $BEST today could grow to around $685 by the end of 2025 (at $0.035215) and nearly $994 by 2026 (at $0.05106175) in price appreciation. New adopters can also lock in dynamic staking rewards (currently 82% APY). But rewards will naturally taper as more participants join, making the earliest investors the biggest winners. With staking at 82% APY and considering the most bullish forecasts, your $500 investment today could swell to roughly ~$1,808 after one year ($814.76 of that coming from staking rewards alone). This is assuming the APY and prediction hold. With the subsequent presale price rise set for tomorrow, now is the chance to secure $BEST at lower-tier prices. Visit the $BEST token presale now.
