Crypto markets have been somewhat muted as the U.S. Treasury drained liquidity from the system. But as it approaches completing its Treasury General Account (TGA) refill, something the former BitMEX CEO, Arthur Hayes, called a “liquidity drain,” the “up only” trajectory can get back on track. The TGA is basically the government’s checking account at […]

In his latest update, CryptoWzrd observed that Litecoin closed the day on a bearish note, moving in line with Bitcoin’s broader trend. He stressed that the LTC/BTC chart remains within a falling wedge formation. CryptoWzrd added that he will be keeping a close watch on the intraday action over the weekend to scout for quick scalp opportunities, particularly if Bitcoin lends further confirmation to the setup. Falling Wedge Formation Holds The Key CryptoWzrd highlighted that both Litecoin’s daily chart and the LTC/BTC pair closed on a bearish note. Despite this short-term weakness, he pointed out that LTC/BTC continues to maintain a falling wedge formation, a structure that historically favors bullish reversals when broken to the upside. Related Reading: Litecoin Clings To Ascending Trendline As Bulls Eye $135 Breakout He explained that a healthy breakout from this wedge could trigger a strong upside rally, with Litecoin likely to follow suit and reflect the broader market sentiment. Such a move would mark a significant shift in momentum, particularly after the recent bearish closes, and could attract renewed buying pressure into the market. CryptoWzrd noted that Litecoin, although trading bearish, is still holding firmly above the $112 level. He emphasized that this zone is crucial, as a single strong bullish daily candle from this area could serve as confirmation for buyers and set the stage for the next leg higher. Looking ahead, he identified $140 as the next key resistance target, a level that would need to be overcome for Litecoin to confirm a sustained rally. Should the price manage to close above $140, CryptoWzrd believes the altcoin could extend gains toward $170 and potentially open the door for a broader bullish continuation. Litecoin Intraday Volatility Picks Up Conclusively, the analyst noted that Litecoin’s intraday chart showed noticeable volatility today, a sign that price movements could remain sharp in the near term. He suggested that traders should anticipate more swings from this location, as the market attempts to establish a clearer direction. Related Reading: Litecoin Is On Fire: $120–$125 Range In Bullish Crosshairs The expert emphasized that for Litecoin to shift into a more positive stance, it must hold above the $115.50 intraday resistance. A successful move above this level could provide the momentum needed to push higher, with $123 standing out as the next resistance target on the upside. For now, his focus remains on lower time frame charts to identify quick scalp opportunities. Given that trading conditions tend to be thinner and less predictable over the weekend, he added that his expectations will remain measured, preferring to wait for a healthy setup before committing to new positions.

Bitcoin may be secure today, but some in the crypto world believe the future holds a different risk.

The price of Bitcoin has had a mixed performance over the past week, falling beneath the $115,000 mark at the start of the period. While the premier cryptocurrency made a play for $118,000 following the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates, the BTC price is now back to around where it started the week. However, the latest on-chain data suggests that a stronger price performance is not too far in Bitcoin’s future. On-Chain Transactions On The Rise In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, market analyst CryptoOnchain published that there has been a notable uptick in activity on the Bitcoin network. The on-chain pundit shared that this recent surge in network activity could have significant effects on the price trajectory of the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin Advanced Sentiment Signals Bullish Edge As Traders Eye Fed Pivot CryptoOnchain based this report on the Transaction Count metric, which tracks the number of confirmed transactions on a blockchain network (Bitcoin, in this case) at a given time. According to the analyst, the 14-day Simple Moving Average (SMA-14) of the cryptocurrency’s transaction count surged to as high as 540,000, marking a peak level for the year 2025. As highlighted by CryptOnchain, a surge in a network’s transaction count typically suggests a significant increase in the fundamental demand and network usage. The pundit also explained that this demand may have been amplified by protocols such as Bitcoin Ordinals and Runes. Network Demand Meets Bullish Momentum According to CryptoOnchain, the notable thing about this on-chain development is the bullish convergence between the metric and Bitcoin’s price since July. The online pundit pointed out that, unlike previous periods of divergence, the current broader price rally is supported by a spike in network activity. Because of this aforementioned “bullish convergence”, the credibility of an uptrend can be further strengthened, as it is not just a result of pure speculation. If anything is to be expected in the days to come, it is that Bitcoin’s price action will reflect a strong bullish momentum. With important advice as a parting note, CryptoOnchain explained that further price momentum hinges on the sustenance of the currently high on-chain activity. As a result, the on-chain activity should be closely watched when making decisions in the market. As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at about $115,744, reflecting an over 1% decline in the past 24 hours. While the market leader seems to be under a slight bearish pressure, a broader look shows that BTC is only stuck in a consolidation range. According to data from CoinGecko, the flagship cryptocurrency has barely changed in the past week.

The total illiquid Bitcoin has reached a new high, providing a bullish outlook for the flagship crypto. This refers to the BTC supply that is unlikely to hit the open, given the long-term holding of the investors who own these coins. Bitcoin’s Illiquid Supply Hits New High Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin’s illiquid supply has reached a new high of 14.3 million BTC, marking over 72% of the flagship’s circulating supply. This supply is held by long-term holders (LTHs) who haven’t moved their coins in over seven years, highlighting a strong conviction in the flagship crypto. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Eyes Demand Zones In Higher Timeframes – Here’s The Target A large part of Bitcoin’s supply being in the hands of long-term holders is typically bullish, as it continuously reduces the amount of selling pressure on the coin. It could also lead to a potential supply shock, whereby demand outpaces supply. Asset manager Fidelity stated in a research report that this new demand for BTC, coupled with a fixed supply and decreasing issuance schedule, was what likely sparked the rally to a new all-time high (ATH) above $124,000. Fidelity further predicted that this upward trend for the Bitcoin price could continue in the years ahead. Meanwhile, Fidelity highlighted two distinct cohorts that satisfy the threshold of Bitcoin’s illiquid supply. The first is the BTC that was last moved seven or more years ago, while the second is public companies that hold at least 1,000 BTC. Michael Saylor’s Strategy leads the latter as his company currently holds 638,985 BTC, which accounts for over 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply. Strategy hasn’t sold any coin since it began accumulating in 2020. Fidelity predicts that the combined group will hold over six million Bitcoin by the end of 2025 or over 28% of the crypto’s total supply of 21 million. The asset manager noted that BTC’s illiquid supply has only decreased quarter-over-quarter once in its history. BTC’s Scarcity May Become Its “Focal Point” Fidelity predicts that over time, Bitcoin’s scarcity may become the focal point as more entities buy and hold BTC long term. They noted that the illiquid supply could rise drastically if nation-state adoption increases and the regulatory environment continues to evolve. Countries like the U.S. are already looking to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which could create a massive supply shock.

This could happen as long-term holders and public companies move to realize gains, possibly due to a significant price appreciation. The asset manager earlier mentioned that early signs of potential capitulation may already be emerging as 80,000 ancient BTC were sold in July 2025. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $115,600, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Strategy’s long-running bet on Bitcoin remains at the heart of the debate over the asset’s place in finance. Based on reports, the firm now holds more than 638,500 BTC, a stake that Saylor has said is worth “tens of billions” of dollars.

Saylor Predicts Long Run Outperformance According to Saylor’s recent interview on Coin Stories, Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 “forever.” He went further, saying the S&P 500 would lose nearly 29% each year when measured against Bitcoin for the next 21 years. Those are among the most aggressive public forecasts he has voiced. He also pointed to Bitcoin’s returns over the past 10 years as proof that the gap already exists.

He argued that a fixed supply and decentralized network give Bitcoin a more predictable long-term path than fiat money. Policy action is part of his effort. Meetings with other crypto executives, including talks about a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill, were mentioned as steps toward making the asset more widely accepted in finance and policy circles. Claims About Fiat And Collateral Face Real Tests Saylor contrasted Bitcoin with the US dollar and with conventional collateral, saying currencies suffer from long-term depreciation tied to inflation and central bank policy. But critics point to Bitcoin’s price swings and regulatory uncertainty as real obstacles to using it as stable collateral. Some risk would be built into any credit product that leans heavily on a volatile asset. These concerns have been raised by market participants and remain part of the public record.

Crypto pundit and legal expert Bill Morgan has humorously predicted that the XRP price will drop below $3. He ironically alluded to a series of bullish developments as what would contribute to the price crash. XRP Price To Crash Below $3 Amid Bullish Developments In an X post, Morgan predicted that the XRP price would drop $3 as he joked about how the altcoin keeps dropping despite bullish developments. This came as he highlighted Ripple’s partnership with DBS and Franklin Templeton to provide a trading and lending solution, powered by tokenized money market funds on the XRP Ledger and in stablecoins such as RLUSD. Related Reading: 8-Year Accumulation Phase Could Catapult XRP Price To $6 Prior to his prediction, the legal expert had also highlighted how the XRP price was down despite “all the good news,” which included the launch of the REX-Osprey XRP ETF. The ETF became the first U.S. fund to offer investors spot exposure to XRP. Morgan also alluded to the CME Group’s announcement of plans to launch options on XRP futures on October 13. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates for the first time this year, a development that was expected to be bullish for the XRP price. However, despite these developments, the crypto pundit noted that the XRP price was still down. He stated that it felt like “Déjà vu,” pointing to the period between 2018 and October 2024. Meanwhile, in another X post, the crypto pundit joked that he was afraid to post more good news over fear that the XRP price may keep declining. This came in reference to Coinbase’s announcement that in just one month, the Solana and XRP Perpetual-Style Futures have scaled exponentially. The crypto exchange announced that these futures have generated over $1.9 billion in notional volume, with more than 1.6 million contracts having been traded. “No Mystery” In Why XRP Is Down Bill Morgan eventually admitted that there is no mystery in why the XRP price is actually, noting that it was because of the Bitcoin price rather than all the “good news” he had earlier alluded to. He further remarked that this overwhelming reality and the most significant factor in the XRP price movement, which is heavily correlated with the BTC price dynamics. The legal expert added that this is consistent with Ripple’s expert evidence in the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit.
