After a blistering run to fresh all-time highs, Binance Coin (BNB) has seen a significant drop. Following a push to roughly $1,370–$1,376, BNB slid about 10% in the past 24 hours, making it one of the biggest decliners on the day as traders reassess risk and profits come off the table. Related Reading: XRP Could Swing To $1.19 Or $20 After Order-Book Collapse, Analyst Warns The retreat follows a dramatic weekend across crypto, but also arrives after a string of BNB-specific catalysts that pushed the token into price discovery. BNB's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: BNBUSD on Tradingview What Drove The BNB Price Surge, And The Snapback BNB ripped to record levels as the market rebounded from the largest liquidation event on record (nearly $19B wiped in 24 hours), with BNB Chain on-chain activity surging to record transaction counts and top-ranked DEX volumes. Binance also earmarked about $283 million to compensate users impacted by volatile conditions and platform slowdowns, a move that helped restore confidence and funneled fresh attention and fees back into the ecosystem. As spot and derivatives momentum stretched, however, signs of uptrend exhaustion emerged near the highs. That left BNB vulnerable to a fast mean-reversion as leveraged longs de-risked and short-term players took profits. Key Levels to Watch After The 10% Drop Technically, BNB remains in a broader uptrend but is testing support zones that will decide whether this is a routine pullback or the start of a deeper correction: $1,190–$1,170: First support and a common profit-taking area. Losing it cleanly risks a sharper leg lower. $1,150: Major level; a breakdown here would signal momentum fatigue and invite a move toward the rising trendline. $1,000 (trendline / 50-day SMA): High-confluence support. A defense here would keep the higher-low structure intact; a daily close below raises odds of a deeper reset toward $960–$820. On the upside, $1,320 is the first hurdle. A decisive reclaim and close back above $1,375 would put $1,450–$1,550 back on the table as liquidity returns and momentum re-ignites. Final Outlook: Consolidation First, Then Direction BNB’s fundamentals remain constructive, from record network operations and deepening DeFi liquidity to active burn mechanics and ecosystem funds targeting builders. That said, the near term favors consolidation while the market absorbs the recent vertical move and macro headlines settle. Related Reading: BNB’s Comeback Meal — Trader Says The Token Ate The Dump For Breakfast If bulls can hold $1,180 and especially $1,150, the structure supports a base-building phase into another attempt at the highs. Conversely, a sustained break below $1,150 would argue for a deeper correction into the $1,000 area before buyers meaningfully step back in. Cover image from ChatGPT, BNBUSD chart from Tradingview

Dogecoin just endured a sharp weekend drawdown, slipping back below the $0.20s after failing to extend its early October rebound. This decline was enough to wipe out many weeks of steady gains and shake retail sentiment. However, amid the volatility, the monthly chart is still bullish. Despite the weekend crash, Dogecoin is well above its 25-month moving average and is trading near the same structural zone that preceded past parabolic rallies. This setup caught the attention of a technical analyst on X known as EᴛʜᴇʀNᴀꜱʏᴏɴᴀL, who pointed out that the same pattern that preceded Dogecoin’s 36,000% breakout in 2021 has now resurfaced. Historical Structure Reappears On Dogecoin’s Chart According to the analyst’s long-term monthly chart, Dogecoin has repeatedly entered explosive bull runs after exhibiting three major technical conditions: a breakout from a prolonged falling trend, sustained trading above the 25MA, and a successful retest phase that confirms structural strength. Each of these setups has led to massive price expansions, most notably the 36,000% surge that catapulted DOGE from fractions of a cent to its May 2021 all-time high of $0.7316. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price: ‘$6.9 Is A Magnet’, Analyst Predicts As shown in the chart below, the same technical conditions are playing out again. The falling trendline that had capped Dogecoin’s growth since mid-2021 has already been broken, and the price is well positioned above the 25MA. The ongoing consolidation is representing the retest phase, the same period that preceded the last two major parabolic runs in 2017 and 2021. Another important observation highlighted by the analyst is that each historical breakout was preceded by what is referred to as the NGMI (Not Gonna Make It) phase. This is typically when Dogecoin is trading sideways or dipping slightly after breaking out of its multi-month falling trendline. Will History Repeat For DOGE? As it stands, Dogecoin’s monthly price pattern is now back to trading around this downward trendline, which it broke above in late 2024. The latest candlestick wick, which was created with Dogecoin’s recent fall to $0.18, saw it touching this trendline again very briefly. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Dogecoin Price Is ‘Parabolic Coded’ To $1, Here’s What It Means However, if Dogecoin’s recurring structural pattern continues to play out as it has before, the current downtrend phase might precede another strong rally. The technical alignment, a combination of price stability above the 25MA, the breakout from a long-term downtrend, and the retest confirmation, means that momentum is still quietly building beneath the surface. Although no chart can guarantee a repetition of the 2021 magnitude, EᴛʜᴇʀNᴀꜱʏᴏɴᴀL’s technical outlook provides a compelling argument that Dogecoin’s larger bullish cycle is still intact. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.201, down by 5.2% and 23% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Veteran chartist Peter Brandt has shifted his view on XRP, moving from a short-lived bearish stance to a more positive outlook as the token tries to recover from a sharp market drop. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Breaks 13-Year Silence, Moves $33 Million To Exchange According to recent reports, XRP fell to $1.55 Friday, Oct. 10 during the sell-off, then bounced back into the mid-$2 range as traders reassessed the situation. Brandt Revises Technical Take Brandt shared a long-term weekly chart covering 2013 to 2025. The chart shows years of sideways action that formed large triangle shapes before big moves. Between 2014 and 2017, XRP was held inside a symmetrical triangle and then broke out in March 2017, which preceded a run up to $3.30 by January 2018. That historical backdrop is being used now as a roadmap by some traders who see patterns repeating. Brandt’s recent update came after he had earlier listed XRP among possible short targets; he later said he closed his short for a profit and has since turned bullish. As a student of classical charting principles and history, has there ever been a purer long-term chart? $XRP pic.twitter.com/rbA2Mp955A — Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) October 13, 2025 Channel Pattern After The Breakout Data shows a break above the triangle took place during the November 2024 rally. After that move, XRP entered a parallel channel where prices moved back and forth. The crash around Oct. 10 pushed XRP down to test the lower line of that channel, and the rebound has been built off that same support. At one point Brandt had XRP trading near $2.64, under its one-week simple moving average of $2.83, and it has been reported to have corrected further to about $2.55 at press time. Market strength is still thin; the Average Directional Index sits at 21.5, which points to a trend that is forming but not yet strong. On-Chain Signal Shows Traders Selling At A Loss Based on reports from Xaif Crypto, the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) for XRP dropped to a level last seen six months ago. That drop indicates many holders sold at a loss during the crash. ???? #XRP SOPR just dropped to 0.95 lowest in 6 months! Last time SOPR hit 0.92 (Apr 7), XRP bounced +35% from $1.90 → $2.58. Now with a low near $2.38, next potential target: $3.10–$3.35 pic.twitter.com/LVj3lINXpa — Xaif Crypto????????|???????? (@Xaif_Crypto) October 13, 2025 Market watchers say a fall in SOPR can mark capitulation and sometimes precedes a recovery if buyers step in. During the sell-off, XRP slid nearly 44% from $2.8 to roughly $1.58, according to trading data, but it has since climbed back toward the $2.5 region as sellers have been absorbed. Related Reading: BNB’s Comeback Meal — Trader Says The Token Ate The Dump For Breakfast Key Levels To Watch A weekly close above $3 would be seen as proof of renewed strength. Resistance around $3.6 lines up with a July 2025 peak and could stall gains. Support is marked by the breakout zone and a rising trendline that runs from about $0.8 to $1.5. If those supports break, XRP could move lower toward the $1 area before stabilizing. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

The Blockchain Recovery Investment Consortium (BRIC), a partnership between GXD Labs and VanEck, announced on Tuesday a significant development in Celsius’ bankruptcy case. Tether (USDT) has agreed to pay a major amount to the crypto lender’s bankruptcy estate following an adversary proceeding that was initiated last year. Tether Settles Billion Dollar Lawsuit This settlement marks a significant milestone in the ongoing legal saga surrounding Celsius, which filed for bankruptcy in July 2022. Celsius had previously accused Tether of mishandling collateral and liquidations, claiming 39,542 BTC (approximately $4.3 billion at the time) along with an additional $100 million in damages, which constituted their largest third-party claim. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reset Complete? Ostium Foresees Explosive Move To $133,000 As previously reported by Bitcoinist, Celsius asserted that Tether’s actions exemplified a broader “scheme to exploit the US cryptocurrency market,” a position they believed could support jurisdiction in this case. In response to the allegations, Tether characterized the lawsuit as a “shake down,” asserting that Celsius was responsible for providing additional collateral in light of fluctuating Bitcoin prices at the time. Tether maintained that Celsius’s mismanagement should not result in undue costs for them. Significant Return For Celsius Bankruptcy Creditors Ultimately, the settlement allows Tether to resolve the matter for a fraction of the initial amount claimed by Celsius, with nearly $300 million expected to be recovered, providing a notable return for creditors involved in the bankruptcy proceedings. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino also commented on the settlement on social media site X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Tether is pleased to have reached a settlement of all issues related to the Celsius bankruptcy.” Related Reading: Decades In The Making: Crypto Exchange Predicts When Shiba Inu Price Will Reach $0.01 David Proman, Managing Partner of GXD Labs, also expressed satisfaction with the resolution. “We are pleased to have resolved Celsius’s adversary proceeding and related claims against Tether,” he stated.

Bitcoin continues to trade with high volatility following Friday’s brutal crash that sent prices as low as $103,000. Over the weekend, the market has struggled to find a clear direction, with bulls and bears locked in a tense battle around the $115,000 level. Sentiment remains divided — some analysts expect a consolidation phase before another leg higher, while others warn of a deeper correction if selling pressure intensifies. Related Reading: Binance Stablecoin Supply Surges To Record $42B: Liquidity Flows Back Into Markets Adding to the uncertainty, new data from on-chain analytics firm Lookonchain has revealed massive withdrawals by wallets linked to Matrixport, a major crypto financial services platform. The move has sparked heavy speculation across the market, with investors debating whether this represents institutional accumulation, treasury reallocation, or preparation for potential selling. Matrixport, founded by former Bitmain co-founder Jihan Wu, is known for managing large-scale digital asset operations. As such, its actions often draw attention from analysts tracking institutional flows. For now, Bitcoin remains in a delicate position — consolidating near support, while large-scale whale movements keep traders on edge. Institutions Adjust Positions as Market Enters Choppy Phase As Bitcoin struggles to reclaim its recent all-time highs above $125,000, institutional activity has started to reflect a more cautious tone. The market appears to be entering a choppy, directionless phase — one defined by profit-taking, reallocation, and controlled derisking rather than panic. Long-term holders, who have accumulated substantial gains throughout the year, are beginning to trim positions, locking in profits as volatility remains elevated and macroeconomic uncertainty grows. The recent Matrixport activity fits neatly into this broader institutional trend. On-chain data from Lookonchain revealed that wallets linked to Matrixport withdrew 4,000 BTC (roughly $454 million) from Binance within 20 hours, a move that quickly caught the attention of traders and analysts. Such large transfers from exchanges are typically interpreted as a sign of strategic repositioning — either moving assets to custody, deploying them for institutional clients, or reallocating capital in response to shifting market dynamics. This follows a pattern seen across major crypto players in recent weeks. Institutional entities appear to be rotating funds, managing risk more proactively, and rebalancing exposure amid the heightened volatility triggered by Friday’s market crash. The broader context suggests not an exodus, but rather a strategic phase of recalibration. In essence, the Matrixport withdrawal underscores a market in transition — one where large players are still active but far more selective. As Bitcoin hovers between $113K and $118K, the coming days could define whether this cautious accumulation transforms into renewed confidence or if continued derisking keeps BTC trapped in consolidation before its next decisive move. Related Reading: Ethereum OI Jumps +8.2% As Traders Chase The Pump: Leverage Fueling ETH Again Bitcoin Price Analysis: Consolidation Deepens After Rejection Bitcoin continues to show signs of weakness after failing to reclaim the $117,500 resistance level — a key zone that has now acted as a rejection point multiple times over the past months. The daily chart shows BTC trading around $111,800, down roughly 3% in the last 24 hours, as volatility remains elevated following last week’s sharp correction. The 50-day moving average (blue line) has started to flatten, signaling a potential short-term shift in momentum, while the 100-day MA (green line) is acting as dynamic support near $111,000. A decisive breakdown below this area could expose Bitcoin to a deeper correction toward the 200-day MA (red line), currently sitting around $106,000 — a level that has historically served as a strong accumulation zone. Related Reading: Bitmine Receives 23,823 Ethereum From BitGo As Institutional Accumulation Continues On the upside, bulls must reclaim $117,500 to regain control and reestablish a bullish structure. However, the repeated failures to sustain above this range reflect growing indecision and possible profit-taking by institutions and long-term holders. The market appears to be consolidating within a broad range, with traders awaiting confirmation of direction. A clean push above $117,500 would open the door for recovery, while a close below $110,000 could increase bearish momentum in the short term. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto exchange Changelly has predicted when the Shiba Inu price could delete three extra zeros and rally to as high as $0.01. Based on the prediction, the top meme coin is still over a decade away from achieving this milestone, even as it currently underperforms in this market cycle. When The Shiba Inu Price Could Hit $0.01 Changelly predicted in a blog post that the Shiba Inu price could reach $0.01 by September 2040. Specifically, they highlighted $0.0106 as the maximum price that SHIB could reach by then. Meanwhile, the crypto exchange projects that the meme coin could still reach $0.0139 by year-end 2040, highlighting that price level as the maximum for December 2040. Related Reading: Why The Shiba Inu Consolidation Could End Rapidly With An Explosive Price Rally The crypto exchange also expects the Shiba Inu price to record further upside from that level, predicting that the meme coin could reach a maximum price of $0.0177 by year-end 2050. This marks a gain of 160809.1% from the meme coin’s current price level. The SHIB burn is one of the mechanisms the SHIB community has adopted to achieve the $0.01 target for the meme coin. The Shiba Inu burn tracker explained that reducing the number of tokens in circulation could increase the Shiba Inu price over time. The platform added that the community’s goal is to raise the meme coin’s price to $0.01. According to the Shiba Inu burn tracker, SHIB’s circulating supply needs to be 224 trillion for it to get to this price target. Therefore, 61.98% of the meme coin’s circulating supply must be removed from circulation, representing 589.5 trillion tokens. SHIB currently has a circulating supply of 589.24 trillion, indicating there is still a long way to go before the meme coin reaches its 224 trillion target. However, the meme coin would also have to witness significant demand for these burns to have an impact on the Shiba Inu price. A Recovery Is On The Cards For SHIB Crypto analyst Javon Marks stated that a more than 150% recovery move to $0.000032 is on the cards for the Shiba Inu price based on a bullish divergence that has formed for the meme coin. This comes as SHIB continues to struggle, with the meme coin one of the top altcoins with a year-to-date (YTD) loss. Crypto analyst SHIB Knight said that the first target for the Shiba Inu price as part of its recovery is $0.00001209, which is the former accumulation zone. The analyst noted that when the market turns positive, SHIB is often among the first to recover. He claimed that this is mainly because of the strength of the SHIB Army.
