The Ethereum price has been in a crucial consolidation phase, with analysts closely watching the next big move. After reclaiming the $4,500 level, the cryptocurrency is now facing one last obstacle before potentially breaking into uncharted territory. Crypto market expert Ted Pillows has set Ethereum’s next price target at $5,000, signaling a potential new all-time high. Ethereum Price Faces Major Hurdle Before $5,000 In a recent technical analysis published on X social media, Pillows explained that Ethereum has successfully reclaimed the $4,500 support level, a point that had previously been a stumbling block for bulls. Now, the market is laser-focused on its next price hurdle at $4,880, which has emerged as the final barrier before a potential breakout. Related Reading: Ethereum Price At Risk Of Crash To $4,000, Is A New ATH Still Possible? According to his price chart, a daily candle close above the $4,880 resistance could open the doors to a fresh all-time high and quickly accelerate Ethereum’s momentum toward the $5,000 milestone. Just last month, ETH shocked the market by breaking its 2021 all-time high and climbing past $4,900. Now, the cryptocurrency looks ready for its next big move, with Pillows confirming $5,000 as the short-term target. Ethereum’s struggle around the $4,880 level comes from repeated failures to push higher at this point in previous sessions. Each rejection has reinforced $4,880 as a strong resistance, making it the decisive point for bulls to conquer. A clean break above it could invalidate bearish short-term pressure and potentially trigger an influx of buying volume. However, if Ethereum once again fails to hold above this level, the price could retreat to lower supports. Pillows identified the $4,200 – $4,400 range as the primary demand zone where buyers could step back in. This area has historically provided strong support and could act as a springboard for another attempt to retest the resistance. ETH Rejected At $4,650 But Holds Support In a follow-up analysis, Pillows noted that Ethereum failed to reclaim the $4,650 level, making its path to reach the $4,880 resistance even more difficult. The rejection at $4,650 has raised concerns of a near-term pullback, with the $4,500 region now being the key support to watch. Related Reading: Ethereum Exchange Balance Turns Negative For The First Time – Why This Is Bullish For Price If ETH holds above $4,500 and gains fresh bullish momentum, Pillows suggests that another attempt at reclaiming $4,650 could occur, potentially setting the stage for the long-awaited $4,880 breakout. On the downside, Ethereum maintains strong structural support between $3,800 and $4,000. This range has acted as a crucial demand zone during past corrections, absorbing selling pressure and enabling bulls to re-accumulate. For longer-term investors, Pillows noted that this support zone presents a significant buy-dip opportunity. He said that if ETH declines to this level, many altcoins would also enter attractive discount zones, presenting broader accumulation opportunities across the market.

As the BNB’s price continues to soar, BNB Chain projects are leading Binance Wallet’s top ten Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) list with up to 2,000x historical returns. Related Reading: Helius Joins Solana Treasury Trend With $500 Million Funding For New DAT Strategy BNB Chain Projects Top Binance Wallet The BNB Chain ecosystem has seen a strong performance recently, with the Binance Wallet leading among IDO launchpads in terms of profitability, driven by the massive returns of various projects built on the network. According to CryptoRank data, the Binance Wallet has a current Return of Investment (ROI) of 4,495% and an all-time high (ATH) return of 7,976%, surpassing most IDO launchpads in multiple timeframes. Additionally, seven of the top ten tokens with the ATH IDO returns on the Binance Wallet are BNB Chain projects, with historical returns ranging from 20x to 2,000x. Decentralized derivatives exchange MYX Finance has seen a 2,102x ATH IDO return, leading the BNB Chain projects on the Binance Wallet. CoinGecko data shows that the token currently has a market capitalization of $2.07 billion, ranking 72nd among all cryptocurrencies by this metric. OKZOO, a decentralized AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) network, comes second with a 413x return, followed by Alaya AI’s 40x, Myshell’s 36.8x, RICE AI’s 34.5x, Elderglade’s 24.5x, and Lorenzo’s 22x. Meanwhile, multiple BNB Chain projects among the top 20 tokens by IDO return in the Binance Wallet have achieved returns of over 15x, including Meet48, MilkyWay, Allo, Particle, and Bubblemaps. Dune data also shows that nearly two-thirds of Binance Alpha’s over 300 launched projects are BNB Chain tokens. Notably, the top five Alpha trading volume rankings are BSC projects, while eight of the top ten are from the BSC ecosystem. BNB’s Price Ready For $1,000? While the ecosystem surges, BNB, the network’s native token, continues its massive rally. The cryptocurrency is trading just 1.5% below its recent ATH and nearing the next crucial milestone, the $1,000 barrier. After hitting its previous ATH in August, the token traded within the $840-$900 area, but retested the lows during the start-of-September retrace. Its price broke out of the three-week range on Friday, turning the upper boundary into support over the weekend. On Sunday, BNB’s price surged to its $943 ATH before retracing to the $920-$935 local area. Market watcher CW noted that the cryptocurrency had formed a buying wall around $910, which served as support during the Monday retracement. Yesterday, the cryptocurrency was rejected from the local high and fell out of its two-day range, retesting the $910 level before bouncing. BNB reclaimed the $920 support and broke out of the $935 resistance level again on Tuesday morning, currently attempting to turn it into support. Related Reading: Bitcoin Risk Index Signals Stability: All Eyes On Fed Decision A successful breakout from this level would set the stage for a price discovery rally continuation, which targets the $1,300 mark, according to analyst Ali Martinez. On the contrary, a new rejection of this level could see the price retest the range lows again, and risk a drop to the $900 breakout level. As of this writing, BNB is trading at $936, a 7% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading in a sideways consolidation phase after hitting its all-time high near $124,000, with volatility keeping investors cautious. The price has been fluctuating in a relatively tight range, showing resilience but also failing to establish a clear directional trend. For many traders, this period feels like the calm before a potential breakout, as the market sits at what analysts describe as a pivotal setting. Related Reading: Bitcoin Consolidates Above $115K As Market Eyes Fed’s Sept 17 Policy Move While short-term traders navigate intraday moves, long-term investors are focusing on structural signals that could define Bitcoin’s next phase. Top analyst Maartunn recently highlighted a significant on-chain dynamic: dormant whale coins are increasingly moving, and these transfers appear closely connected to recent price swings. Historically, such movements have often preceded stronger market reactions, either reinforcing bullish momentum or triggering corrective phases. This alignment between dormant whale activity and price volatility is fueling speculation that a decisive move may be imminent. With Bitcoin consolidating near critical levels, the coming days could set the tone for whether BTC attempts another push toward its highs or corrects further. Dormant Bitcoin Movements Align With Fed Decision According to onchain analyst Maartunn, a remarkable event just unfolded: 7,547 BTC aged between 3–5 years have moved onchain. This is no small occurrence, as coins of this age bracket are often considered firmly in the hands of long-term holders. Their sudden activity has historically acted as a precursor to major market moves. Maartunn emphasizes that investors should carefully note how this metric has consistently aligned with sharp price reactions in recent months. In his analysis, Maartunn presents data showing that every time this specific group of dormant coins becomes active, the Bitcoin market reacts with significant volatility. These swings can be bullish or bearish, but the common denominator is that they rarely go unnoticed. Essentially, when whales who have held coins for several years begin moving them, it signals strategic repositioning that tends to ripple across the broader market. This latest movement coincides with one of the most pivotal macroeconomic events of the year—the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, scheduled for this week. The Fed’s choice, whether to cut rates by 25bps or 50bps, will dictate investor sentiment across all risk assets. For Bitcoin, the timing of dormant whale activity could amplify the impact of this decision, potentially setting the stage for a massive price swing in the days ahead. With BTC consolidating around $115K, the convergence of long-term whale moves and macroeconomic uncertainty underscores the fragility of the current market structure. Traders and investors alike are bracing for what could be the beginning of Bitcoin’s next decisive trend, fueled by both on-chain signals and global monetary policy. Related Reading: Bitcoin Spot Trading Volumes Decline To $322B: Market Shifts To HODL Mode Technical Analysis: Testing Resistance Levels The 4-hour chart shows Bitcoin consolidating around $115,555, with the price holding above both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, currently at $114,341 and $112,378, respectively. This setup indicates short-term bullish momentum, as BTC managed to defend higher lows after its September rebound. The next major resistance lies near $116,000, where sellers are actively defending. A breakout above this zone could open the path toward the key $123,217 resistance, last tested in mid-August. However, repeated failures to clear $116K increase the risk of short-term exhaustion, especially with uncertainty ahead of tomorrow’s Fed rate decision. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crawls Up On Weak Supply: 30D Momentum Reveals It Lacks Real Demand On the downside, support is established around the $114,000 region, which aligns with the 50-day SMA. Losing this level could push BTC back toward $112,000, where both the 100-day SMA and prior demand clusters converge. As long as BTC holds above $112K, the broader structure remains constructive.

PayPal is reshaping the way money moves across apps, borders, and currencies with its new launch – PayPal Links. This is a new feature that lets users send or receive money through a one-time personalized link. For the first time, crypto is a part of the experience. Users can now transfer Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), PayPal USD ($PYUSD), and more, directly to PayPal, Venmo, and even some external wallets. The roll-out will begin in the US before expanding to international markets later this year. These upgrades are all a part of the PayPal World framework, which aims to connect billions of wallets globally. This move is a milestone for crypto adoption, pushing peer-to-peer payments beyond speculation and into a real everyday use. Within this context, the spotlight is increasingly likely to soon turn to solutions like the Best Wallet app and its $BEST token. This versatile wallet app offers decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) experiences with a lot more flexibility than those offered by PayPal. PayPal Links: Mainstream Evolution of Peer-to-Peer PayPal Links introduces a new, streamlined way to handle P2P payments. By creating a personalized, one-time link, users can request or send funds and drop it into any conversion over text, email, or chat. Each link is private, expires after 10 days if unclaimed, and ensures that funds are transferred instantly once accepted via PayPal’s app. However, the most significant part of this launch is crypto integration. With PayPal Links, users can also send $BTC, $ETH, $PYUSD, and more across not just PayPal and Venmo, but also other wallet apps. This closes the gap between mainstream banking apps and crypto-native rails, allowing millions of users to interact with crypto in a familiar P2P flow. By embedding crypto into everyday transfers, PayPal is helping legitimize digital assets as a part of everyday life, setting the stage for broader adoption across both traditional and decentralized ecosystems. Why This Matters for Crypto Adoption Peer-to-peer payments were one of the core tenets of Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision for Bitcoin. PayPal’s latest update brings that vision one step closer to fruition. With 400M+ active accounts, PayPal’s integration of $BTC, $ETH, $PYUSD, and other crypto assets instantly expands the global reach of crypto payments. Venmo is already seeing its highest total payment volume growth in three years, suggesting strong consumer appetite for digital-first transfers. Stablecoins add another dimension to this. PayPal’s $PYUSD is being positioned for cross-border transactions, where the stablecoin rails are estimated to cut remittance costs by up to 95%. Combined with the PayPal World framework, which connects potentially billions of wallets, the stage is being set for faster, borderless movement of money. For investors, this development doesn’t just strengthen crypto’s utility. It also highlights the growing demand for the best hot wallets – like the Best Wallet app, which extends P2P functionality beyond PayPal’s centralized rails, and into full Web3 ecosystems. Best Wallet: The Next-Gen Crypto Gateway PayPal’s move to integrate crypto into P2P payments marks a milestone. However, it still functions as a centralized bridge. That leaves an opportunity for crypto-native solutions like Best Wallet, a self-custodial, multi-chain, AI-powered Web3 wallet designed to take P2P finance to the next level. Best Wallet already offers a smooth, PayPal-like user experience, but with true wallet-to-wallet interoperability between blockchains and dApps. The narrative is clear: PayPal is normalizing crypto for hundreds of millions of users, and many will seek out wallets that provide improved flexibility, security, and decentralization that PayPal cannot. That fits in extremely well with Best Wallet’s plan to dominate 40% of the global crypto wallet market by the end of next year. And it’s using the Best Wallet Token to nail the brief. How $BEST Is Driving Global Domination Best Wallet’s native $BEST token powers utilities like higher staking rewards, governance rights, fee discounts, access to presales, and loyalty perks. This gives you financial incentives far beyond what traditional fintech apps like PayPal can offer. From an investor perspective, $BEST is perfectly positioned as a high-upside retail play that complements Bitcoin and Ethereum’s utility in this new era of payments. We’re already seeing investors catch on to this, too. The Best Wallet Token ($BEST) presale has raised close to $16M and is attracting more mindshare on social media by the day. And considering its place alongside PayPal’s narrative, this figure is likely to grow significantly. Right now, you can buy $BEST for $0.025645 and stake it for 83% APY. Take a look at our How to Buy the Best Wallet Token guide to do just that. From centralized rails to decentralized gateways, money is moving faster and more globally than ever before. And $BEST could be one of the biggest winners as P2P adoption continues to accelerate. Our analysts believe that $BEST has the potential to reach $0.035215 by the end of the year – and $0.07 by 2030. That’s a significant ROI of 37.3% and 172.9% respectively. So, be sure to grab your spot in the Best Wallet Token presale before the crowd catches on.
