Crypto analyst XForce has predicted that the XRP price could rally to $10 on a wave 3 impulsive move to the upside. The analyst also indicated that the bottom was in for XRP even as the crypto market remains in a downtrend. XRP Price Headed To $10 On Wave 3 Move In an X post, XForce told XRP holders to get ready for a rally to $10 or higher, which he described as a conservative wave 3 target. He noted that there are minor market inefficiencies in the local timeframes for the XRP price. However, the analyst added that the macro chart shows clear accumulation and a solid price floor after almost a year of distribution. Related Reading: Why This Analyst Is More Bullish On XRP Over Ethereum For The Short-Term Crypto analyst CasiTrades had also predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $10 on the wave 3 move. However, she predicted that XRP would crash to as low as $1.4 first to complete the macro wave 2 correction, which had begun around the largest liquidation event on October 10. XForce indicated that this projected crash to $1.4 for the XRP price was unlikely to happen. The analyst opined that the major low was in and alluded to the macro chart, which showed that the low had been broken, but XRP bounced hard from it. He added that XRP could stay in this current range for more distribution before the next leg up, but believes that predictions about a further downtrend are all “noise.” The XRP price has continued to range between $2.4 and $2.6 as the market recovers from the October 10 crash, which saw XRP drop to as low as $0.77 on Binance. Meanwhile, it also dropped below the psychological $2 level on other exchanges. One Final Drop For XRP Crypto analyst CasiTrades doubled down on her prediction that the XRP price would witness one final crash before a rally to the upside. She noted that the altcoin is reacting exactly as expected, having rejected the Wave 4 resistance near $2.68. She added that the price is now turning bearish and the RSI is making a new low, which is starting to confirm that Wave 5 down is underway. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Maps Out The XRP Price Roadmap From $3 To $27 CasiTrades stated that breaking below $2.42 would confirm continuation toward the lower targets at $2.03 and $1.65. These two lower levels are said to have alignment with the Wave 5 extension. The analyst again indicated that the XRP price could drop to at least $1.65, which she noted is the macro .618 retracement. CasiTrades opined that this projected crash should complete the final wave of the correction before a massive wave 3 impulse to the upside. She added that once the bottom forms, the next impulse should be “fast and obvious,” with the XRP price cutting through resistance on the way to new highs. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.48, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings dropped nearly $5 billion in a single day, cutting the estimated value of the stash to roughly $118 billion. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ignites — 60% Volume Boom Teases Potential Rally According to tracking data that ties thousands of early Bitcoin addresses to the name Satoshi, the decline mirrors a wider pullback in crypto markets this week and reflects the sharp swings in Bitcoin’s price. Arkham Intelligence Data Reports have disclosed that blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence expanded the set of addresses it attributes to Satoshi and now counts roughly 1,096,354 BTC in those clusters. That haul is the basis for the big headline numbers used by media outlets measuring the “value” of Satoshi’s holdings. The coins themselves show little sign of movement, and most of the addresses have been inactive for years. The fall in dollar value does not mean coins changed hands. It only means the market price of Bitcoin fell enough in the past 24 hours to shave about $4.9 billion from the paper worth of those wallets. Short, sharp swings like this are common in crypto. Longer price trends are what move headline wealth totals more meaningfully. Market Dip Hits Even The Biggest Holder Based on reports, the slide happened Thursday as traders reacted to broader selling pressure across the digital-asset space. Analysts and market feeds tied the drop directly to a correction in Bitcoin’s price, not to any outgoing transfers from the old addresses. That detail matters because a sale from a wallet tied to Satoshi would be an event with big market implications; none has been recorded. At the recent peak in mid-August, when Bitcoin briefly pushed above $124,000, those same addresses were valued at about $130billion. That comparison shows how volatile headline “net worth” figures can be when they track a fluctuating asset rather than bank accounts or shares. The holdings of Satoshi Nakamoto are often used as a shorthand to show how much value is effectively locked away in early-mined coins. For observers, the point is simple: large sums can vanish from dollar-denominated lists overnight when prices move. For traders, those moves feed into short-term momentum and sentiment. Related Reading: Dogecoin Down 20% – But Some Think This Is When The Real Gains Start What This Means For Investors For now, the situation is a valuation story more than an operational one. Reports highlight that the coins remain largely dormant and that the tally is an estimate built from on-chain patterns linked to early mining activity. That leaves market watchers with two basic facts: the dollar value can swing wildly, and the coins have stayed put. Featured image from Vecteezy, chart from TradingView
