Dogecoin is pressing a make-or-break weekly level as price retests the mid-$0.27s “springboard” highlighted by popular trader Rekt Capital, while macro cross-currents and a pivotal USDT dominance structure flagged by analyst Kevin may decide whether momentum extends into Q4. Dogecoin Bulls Face Crucial Test On the weekly DOGE/USDT chart shared by Rekt Capital, price has rallied back into the $0.27–$0.28 area and is attempting to flip it into support. At the time of the screenshot, the active weekly candle sat near $0.28410 with 3 days and 6 hours left, directly atop a green horizontal level plotted at $0.27884. Above, the next clearly marked resistance is the prior range high at $0.33817, with a psychological waypoint at $0.30000. Beneath the immediate “springboard,” intermediate supports are drawn at ~$0.23000 and $0.22014, while the higher-time-frame safety net remains the pre-halving high region around $0.15901, which also coincides with an ascending trendline that price successfully retested in July. Related Reading: Dogecoin Down 13% As Whales Distribute $181 Million In DOGE Rekt Capital framed the setup succinctly: “If Dogecoin is able to turn $0.27 (green) into support then price will break out to at least $0.33. Retest is in progress, the Daily and/or Weekly Closes need to continue above $0.27 to solidify this level as a new support and springboard.” Five days earlier, he noted, “Looks like Dogecoin has finally turned the Pre-Halving highs into new support,” marking the July reclaim with a green circle on his chart. Structurally, that sequence resembles a classic higher-low off trendline support followed by a return to the range midpoint; sustaining closes above the midpoint converts it into a launchpad toward the range high. The chart’s geometry reinforces that logic. The rising black trendline from late 2024 underpins a series of higher lows into June–July, where DOGE rebounded from the ~$0.16 area (black label: 0.15901). The current blue-circled cluster shows repeated weekly interactions with the $0.27–$0.30 band: initial rejection at the level, a pullback to ~$0.22–$0.23, and a renewed push that is now testing for a flip. Related Reading: Is The Dogecoin Bottom In? Confluence Of Signals Says Yes In practical terms, a confirmed weekly close north of ~$0.27884 reduces the risk of a “failed breakout” and opens the path for a measured move into the $0.33 resistance. Failure to hold would likely re-expose $0.23000/$0.22014 as the magnet, with the rising trendline keeping the higher-time-frame uptrend intact unless the market revisits the ~$0.16 pre-halving pivot. What Else To Watch: Macro Conditions And USDT Dominance Whether DOGE gets follow-through quickly may hinge on macro liquidity and the broader crypto risk-cycle Kevin (Kev Capital TA) tracks via USDT dominance. In his 2-week/1-month USDT.D chart, tether’s market-cap share has carved a three-year descending triangle defined by a series of lower highs under a sloping yellow resistance and a flat demand shelf near ~4%–5%. “It has helped me call the lows on #BTC back in 2022/2023 and it has helped me identify every top and bottom in this market since then,” Kevin wrote, citing the March 2024 highs, late-summer 2024 lows, December/January highs, and April lows as examples of the pattern’s signal quality. The current monthly candle hovers around 4.23% within that base, with multiple prior touches on both the downtrend line and support. He also points to confluence at the “2W 200 SMA/EMA plus major structured support,” underscoring why this area is an inflection. Mechanically, a decisive breakdown in USDT dominance from the triangle’s floor would imply capital rotating out of stablecoins into risk assets, a regime that has historically favored altcoins. Conversely, another bounce at support would preserve the range and keep liquidity preference defensive, which has tended to cap alt strength. Momentum panels on Kevin’s chart reinforce the “inflection” message rather than a conclusion: a stochastic-style oscillator has rolled down from elevated territory, and MACD-like readings are compressing near the zero line, both circled to emphasize how close the market is to a regime shift. Macro guidance from the Federal Reserve is another lever. “The Fed laid the pathway clearly and concisely. We now have full guidance as to what they want to do and that is to continue easing slowly,” Kevin said. “As long as the data comes in favorable via inflation/labor then there is no more excuses for the crypto market to not head higher into the end of the year.” In the very near term, though, he cautioned that September is behaving true to form: “No volume and no liquidity flowing in. Mostly leverage driven at the moment. Touch grass and wait it out. Bigger volatility is coming soon.” For Dogecoin, that mix translates into crisp levels and clean triggers. The technical job now is simple but binary: manage the weekly close above ~$0.27–$0.28 to validate the “springboard” and keep focus on $0.30000 and $0.33817, or relinquish the flip and reset into the mid-$0.22s where buyers have recently defended. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.27339. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Polymarket bettors have predicted a 25% chance for Bitcoin ($BTC) to rise above $125K this month. It’s currently down to 17% at the time of writing. Earlier today, Bitcoin touched an intraday high of $117,888, bringing it closer in line with bettors’ predictions. The coin reached its all-time high of $124,517 on 14 August 2025, placing it only 6.1% below its ATH. Despite a 2.6% increase in Bitcoin’s price last month, crossing $125K will depend on sustained momentum fuelled by improving macro conditions and strong ETF inflows. Underscoring this bullish setup, Bitwise’s Matt Hogan said this in an interview with CNBC two months ago: The Bitcoin network only produces 450 Bitcoin per day. Yesterday alone, Bitcoin ETFs bought 10,000 Bitcoin. This institutional investment into Bitcoin is a one-time event, it’s going to take years to play out, but I think over the course of the year, there’s going to be this persistent bit where there’s more demand than there is supply. And the natural response to that is […] Bitcoin’s price goes higher. —Matt Hougan, CNBC Interview As $BTC continues to build momentum, its Q4 looks promising, with bettors giving a 79% chance of hitting $125K+ by year-end. This growing confidence hasn’t just lifted $BTC sentiment, it’s spilling over new Bitcoin-based projects like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which has raised 16.8M in its presale. Bitcoin’s Bull Run Isn’t Over — Could Q4 Deliver the Long-Awaited $125K Breakout? The market sentiment is very bullish right now as $BTCgets closer to breaking a new ATH — $125K. While Polymarket suggests that an upside is more likely than a downside, macroeconomic factors such as ETF inflows and Fed cuts in Q4 will have a direct impact on Bitcoin’s price action in the coming weeks and months. The US Fed recently cut rates by 0.25%, boosting investors’ appetite for riskier assets. Additionally, the market remains optimistic about further rate cuts in Q4, fueling the narrative of relaxed financial conditions and a favorable backdrop for Bitcoin’s rally. In other developments, US spot $BTC ETFs are seeing robust inflows. For starters, the last week saw approximately $2.3B pouring in from prominent names like BlackRock and Fidelity. As the $BTC held in ETFs and treasury hands reduces circulating supply, it makes $BTC scarcer, potentially leading to prices hikes in the future. Furthermore, some crypto analysts highlight several historic timing markers for Bitcoin, such as the 1,065-day post-halving window. Historically, bullish markets have often witnessed parabolic surges around the post-halving timeframe, suggesting that the current setup paves the path for $BTC’s strongest rally yet. With the interest rate cuts, regulatory clarity, increased institutional inflows, and shifting risk perceptions, newer $BTC-backed top altcoins are benefiting from this halo effect. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a high-throughput project built to supercharge Bitcoin’s scalability, is drawing strong investor interest as it rides the $BTC’s bullish wave. One Token, Dual-Chain Power: How Bitcoin Hyper Could Supercharge $BTC’s Future Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) offers Solana speed + $ETH liquidity + $BTC security, unlocking a true high-throughput Layer-2. It will enable instant payments, DeFi, dApps, and MemeFi within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Other exclusive (upcoming) features include: Lending, borrowing, liquidity farming, and staking at 68% APY from day one. Bridging $BTC into wrapped $BTC on Layer 2 for instant, near-zero-fee transfers. Solana Virtual Machine integration, enabling up to 65K TPS, compared to Bitcoin’s 7 TPS. Support for meme coins, DAOs, and full-scale DeFi protocols directly on Bitcoin’s secure base layer. Additionally, the token’s dual-chain utility enhances hedging, liquidity strategies, and governance rights, positioning it as a high-value play in the 2025 market. Bitcoin Hyper’s presale is already flexing serious strength, having raised $16.8M so far, with the next price hike expected in less than 2 days. At today’s presale rate of $0.012945 per $HYPER, a $200 buy bags you roughly 15,450 tokens. If our Bitcoin Hyper Price Prediction forecasts play out, a $200 purchase could give you a gain of 2x by the end of 2025 ($401), 6.6x by the end of 2026 ($1,333), and hit nearly a 19.5x moonshot by 2030 (~$3,909). For early adopters looking to ride the $BTC halo effect, $HYPER’s numbers speak for themselves. But here’s the juicier bit — you can scoop staking rewards at 68% APY if you buy now. That means the same $200 allocation into $HYPER could climb to around $537 by 2025’s end once you add staking yield to the price appreciation. Remember that the staking APY will decrease as more traders stake tokens. The earlier you buy, the higher an APY you’ll benefit from. Learn how to buy Bitcoin Hyper in our guide here. With whales already aping in — including buys of $161.3K and $100.6K in August, $HYPER is shaping up as a rare Layer-2 gem that blends scalability, utility, and fat staking yields with Bitcoin’s unmatched security. Snag $HYPER at lower-tier prices before the next hike. This is not financial advice. Please do your own research before investing in cryptocurrencies.

Crypto Insight UK used the first post-cut trading day to reframe the XRP narrative around what he calls the difference between utility and speculation, arguing that the latest burst of institutional developments does not automatically validate “$100 dreams.” While welcoming macro and regulatory tailwinds, he cautioned that euphoria often front-runs fundamentals and urged disciplined profit-taking if XRP reaches what he considers this cycle’s plausible range. “Don’t get caught in the trap of thinking when it starts to send that it’s going to go to $100 or $200 or $50 straight away,” he said, adding that, should XRP push into double digits, “I’m going to be taking a significant amount—probably towards 80%—of my portfolio off the table.” Massive Tailwinds For XRP The macro backdrop he keyed on was the Federal Reserve’s 25-basis-point rate cut on Sept. 17 and Chair Jerome Powell’s guidance that more easing is possible this year. Risk assets whipsawed on the headlines before settling, with markets now handicapping further cuts into year-end. For the analyst, the decision was “pretty much a nothing burger” in isolation, but it sharpened the focus on micro drivers inside crypto—namely flows and policy. Related Reading: Next XRP ‘Monster Leg’ Will Start No Earlier Than 2026: Analyst On policy, he highlighted what may prove the most consequential regulatory pivot since US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs: the SEC’s approval of generic listing standards for spot commodity ETPs across major exchanges, a change that streamlines the path for crypto ETFs beyond BTC and ETH. In the same sweep, the agency cleared Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap product—a multi-asset ETP holding Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana and Cardano—signaling a new phase for regulated crypto baskets. “ He also pointed to deepening derivatives infrastructure. CME Group announced it will list options on Solana and XRP futures, extending regulated hedging tools beyond the BTC/ETH duopoly and potentially drawing new institutional basis and vol sellers into those order books. Yet it was Ripple’s new institutional initiative that the analyst treated as the week’s sleeper story. Ripple, DBS and Franklin Templeton unveiled a plan to enable accredited and institutional clients to toggle between Ripple’s dollar stablecoin (RLUSD) and Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money-market fund (sgBENJI) on DBS Digital Exchange—with the bank exploring the use of sgBENJI as repo collateral and Ripple’s stablecoin as transactional grease. Franklin Templeton will issue the sgBENJI token on the XRP Ledger. In his view, the significance is two-fold: a credible on-chain cash-and-collateral market and a concrete, regulated venue for RLUSD utility. Related Reading: Facts Vs. Hype: Analyst Examines XRP Supply Shock Theory To underscore the potential scale, he cited RLUSD executive Jack McDonald’s estimate that “repo transaction volume is well into the 10s of trillions globally (nearly $12T in the US in 2024 itself).” The analyst did not claim that flow will migrate wholesale to the XRP Ledger; rather, he framed it as an addressable ceiling for tokenized collateral markets if custody, compliance and counterparty rails mature around them. Why XRP Won’t Reach $100 This Cycle The technicals in his rundown served more as risk-management context than price calls. He flagged Bitcoin dominance’s recent weakness as the tell for an early-stage altcoin rotation while noting that short-term structures remain choppy. The analyst referenced BNB’s push toward a 1.618 Fibonacci extension and observed that XRP, by his drawings, remains below a comparable extension level—thereby allowing for catch-up dynamics should capital rotate. He reiterated that speculation typically “moves price further than utility does, at least initially,” and cautioned that traders should not confuse institutional news with a settled valuation model for base-layer settlement tokens. Where does that leave XRP? His thesis is deliberately conservative relative to social-media targets. He said he still believes utility “is going to come,” especially as US market-structure language evolves and institutional rails—ETFs, CME derivatives, tokenized cash and collateral—proliferate. However, the analyst continues to uphold his long-stated thesis that the $12 region will mark the cycle top for XRP. Until there is a widely accepted framework to price “base utility” for throughput, he intends to sell into strength if XRP hits his personal range for this cycle, keep a 10% “moon bag” above that, and reassess. The discipline, he argued, is psychological as much as mathematical: “If you were afraid of losing $1,000 … and it’s now worth $20,000, you should be 20 times more afraid of losing $20,000.” At press time, XRP traded at $3.03.

The Dogecoin price had seen an initial run-up to $0.3 before the correction that brought it back toward $0.26 again. The aftermath of this has been uncertain price movements for the meme coin, especially as bulls and bears vied for control of the digital asset. At this junction, there is now a near equal opportunity for the price to actually go in either direction, and crypto analyst MyCryptoParadise has outlined the conditions that could favor either side. Why Dogecoin Price Is Still Bullish Despite the Dogecoin price decline, there is still a lot of bullishness in the current price action. This comes with the breakout of a classic falling wedge pattern, which is bullish for the meme coin, as this breakout could mean that the corrective phase is finally over. Related Reading: Analyst Sets $5 Target For The Dogecoin Price If This Happens The crypto analyst also points out that the Dogecoin price has seen a hidden bullish divergence on the RSI, as well as a bullish divergence on the MACD. This means that in addition to the bullish breakout, there is a lot of momentum that is driving the price action now, and this could help to prop up the price. Additionally, the crypto analyst also explains that there has been a Change of Character (CHoCH). This happened after a liquidity grab, which means that it also supports the fact that the Dogecoin price is still seeing a lot of bullish momentum at this point. In this case, if the bullishness is confirmed, then the Dogecoin price is likely to see a break above $0.3 and continue from there. However, the analyst advises caution at this level since Dogecoin is not giving clear signals. How The Bears Could Win Amid the heightened bullish activity, there is still the possibility for the Dogecoin price to crash back downward from here, and this lies entirely at the support above $0.25. If this support level breaks, then it would trigger further downside, which could send the meme coin spiraling back toward $0.2. Related Reading: What To Expect From The Bitcoin Price If September Closes In The Green Given this, it is important for bulls to hold the price above this invalidation level if the bullish momentum is to continue. If the invalidation level is taken, then the crypto analyst says it is better to wait for a cleaner structure before re-entering Dogecoin again. “We are playing it safe right now. If you want to be consistently profitable, you need to be extremely patient and always wait only for the best, highest probability trading opportunities,” MyCryptoParadise stated.
