A cryptocurrency analyst has pointed out how Dogecoin has returned to the support level of a Parallel Channel following the latest market decline. Dogecoin Is Potentially Following A Parallel Channel In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about how Dogecoin is currently trading with respect to a Parallel Channel. This type of technical analysis (TA) pattern forms whenever an asset moves between two parallel trendlines. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Back At $63,000 Despite 1.2 Million BTC Absorption The upper level of the channel can act as a source of resistance, while the lower can provide support. Together, the trendlines keep the price locked between them. If either of these levels fails, then the price may see a continuation of the trend in the direction of the break. That is, a surge above the pattern can be a bullish signal, while a fall under it is a bearish one. Parallel Channels can be divided into a few different categories based on how the channel is oriented with respect to the graph axes. The “Ascending Channel” forms when the trendlines point up, while the “Descending Channel” involves a negative slope. In the context of the current topic, the third and simplest type is of interest: a Parallel Channel that’s parallel to the time-axis. This pattern corresponds to a phase of true sideways consolidation in the asset. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Parallel Channel that the daily Dogecoin price has been trading inside over the past few months: As displayed in the above graph, Dogecoin retested the upper level of the Parallel Channel in May, but ended up finding rejection. Since then, the memecoin has sharply moved down the width of the channel, reaching the bottom level. During this descent, the asset not only broke under the support of the midway level, but it also lost the 50-day moving average (MA). With DOGE now retesting the lowest trendline of the channel, it remains to be seen how the asset will develop in the coming days. “As long as this support holds, I think a recovery toward $0.1019 and $0.1156 remains likely,” noted the analyst. “A breakdown, however, could expose the next major supply zone near $0.067.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Traders Turn Most Fearful In 2 Months Following Crash While Dogecoin has still not broken out of its Parallel Channel, another altcoin, Cardano, has seen a different outcome. As Martinez has highlighted in another X post, the weekly ADA price has fallen under the support level of a long-term channel recently. Parallel Channel breakouts are often assumed to be of the same length as the width of the channel. Based on this, the analyst explained, “For Cardano $ADA, my targets are $0.11 and $0.051.” DOGE Price Following the latest continuation of the drawdown, Dogecoin has reached the $0.843 level.

Bitcoin is struggling as the price tests $62,000 as support — a level that would represent a significant extension of the correction from the cycle highs and a test of the structural foundation that bulls have been pointing to throughout the decline. The weakness is real and the selling pressure is persistent — and XWIN Research Japan has published an analysis that cuts through the competing macro narratives to identify what the on-chain data suggests is the actual driver of the current correction. Related Reading: HYPE Defies Market Selloff As Whales Withdraw Another $108M From Exchanges The explanations circulating in the market range from geopolitical tensions to Federal Reserve policy to Strategy’s recent small Bitcoin sale. XWIN Research Japan’s CryptoQuant analysis suggests a simpler and more fundamental explanation: buyers disappeared. The engine that powered Bitcoin’s 2024 to 2025 rally was not leverage, not retail momentum, and not speculative excess. It was consistent and sustained inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs — a structural demand source that absorbed supply methodically and provided the bid that supported progressively higher prices. In 2026, that engine reversed. ETF outflows increased while the Coinbase Premium remained negative for an extended period. Confirming that US institutional demand, the most durable and most significant category of buyer the market has ever seen, withdrew from active accumulation. Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap | Source: CryptoQuant The Realized Cap data quantifies the consequence. Bitcoin’s Realized Cap declined from approximately $1.12 trillion to $1.08 trillion — a reduction that represents nearly $40 billion of capital leaving the network. When the metric that measures actual invested capital falls by that magnitude, the market is not experiencing a sentiment correction. It is experiencing a genuine demand withdrawal. Bitcoin Realized Cap | Source: CryptoQuant 40 Billion Left the Network The XWIN Research Japan analysis traces where the capital went after it left Bitcoin. US equities — particularly AI-related companies delivering strong earnings growth, executing aggressive share buyback programs, and driving the S&P 500 to record highs — presented a competing allocation that many institutions found more immediately compelling than Bitcoin in the current rate environment. Capital did not evaporate. It rotated into assets with visible profit growth and near-term catalysts that Bitcoin’s liquidity-dependent structure cannot currently match. The futures market amplified the price decline without causing it. Open Interest dropped sharply, Funding Rates normalized, and more than $150 million in leveraged long positions were liquidated between June 3 and June 4. Those liquidations were a consequence of weakening demand rather than its origin — derivatives unwinding into a market already lacking the spot bid needed to absorb forced selling. The comparison to 2022 is where the analysis provides its most important reassurance. Long-term holders remain largely intact. Exchange balances are still historically low. The current correction does not resemble the panic-driven supply excess that characterized the previous cycle’s collapse. The problem is not too much selling. It is too little buying. The recovery conditions the report identifies are specific. ETF flows returning to positive territory, the Coinbase Premium recovering above zero, Realized Cap resuming growth, and capital concentration in AI stocks beginning to slow — these are the signals that would confirm demand is returning rather than rotating further away. June’s correction was demand-driven. The next major Bitcoin trend will be determined by the same force that caused it. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Most Important Metric Flashes Warning As Bulls Fight To Hold $60K Bitcoin Clings To $62K As Breakdown Reaches Critical Support Bitcoin remains under intense pressure after a violent selloff erased the entire April-May recovery and pushed price back into the same support zone that marked the February capitulation low. The daily chart shows BTC trading around $62,500 after briefly dipping near $61,000, placing the market directly inside the most important demand area of the year. Bitcoin consolidates below the $63K level | Source: BTCUSDT chart on TradingView Technically, the structure has deteriorated significantly. Bitcoin has lost the $72,000-$74,000 support zone that previously acted as a major pivot throughout April and May. That area has now flipped into resistance and represents the first major obstacle should a relief rally emerge. More importantly, the breakdown occurred with expanding volume, suggesting the move is being driven by aggressive selling rather than a temporary liquidity vacuum. Related Reading: Smart Money Keeps Buying HYPE Despite Rising Market Fear – Price Holds Above $70 Level The market is now testing the February bottom region near $61,000-$64,000. Unlike previous pullbacks, this support is being challenged after a sequence of lower highs and lower lows, confirming bearish market structure across the daily timeframe. BTC also remains below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, reinforcing the dominance of sellers. However, this area carries historical significance. The February capitulation ultimately marked the beginning of a multi-month recovery. If buyers defend the current zone, Bitcoin could attempt to build a base and stabilize. If support fails decisively, the next downside target becomes the psychological $60,000 level, followed by the high-$50,000 region. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Friday’s selloff pushed XRP deeper into the red, completing a 22% retrace over the past 30 days and sending the token below $1.10 for the first time since November 2024. For many, this move immediately raises the most important question in the current climate: could the altcoin reach the $1 mark again soon, or is a fall below this level now on the cards? Could XRP Drop 40% Toward $0.70? In a new report, market expert Sam Daodu flags that the broader technical picture is now fully bearish across multiple timeframes. He notes that XRP is trading below its 20, 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages (MAs), a configuration that typically signals sellers remain in control no matter what chart window investors look at. The expert said there is not much support once XRP trades at $1.09. Around $1.05, buyers have tended to show interest, and then $1 is the next major psychological floor where demand often appears simply because it is a round number. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Strategies Stays Profitable: Strategy And Bitmine Record Losses Above $10 Billion Even more concerning, some chart analysts he references in the report believe the cryptocurrency could drop as much as another 40% from current levels if the risk-off trend continues, which would place the token around $0.70. Yet on-chain data tells a different story. Monthly RSI Hits Rare Oversold Reset The number of XRP wallets holding at least 10,000 tokens hit a record 332,230 in May, and that group has continued to grow through each drawdown of 2026. Meanwhile, wallets holding 1 million or more XRP added a net 42 new addresses since January—its first increase in millionaire wallets since September 2025. Whale behavior also appears to be tightening around supply. Whales holding 10 million or more XRP control 45.83 billion tokens, representing 68.5% of the circulating supply, the highest concentration since May 2018. In addition, whale outflow dominance on Binance recently reached 91.4%, the highest reading since 2024. Daodu notes that when Binance outflow dominance last hit similar levels—October 2024—XRP later rallied from about $0.50 to above $3 in the months that followed. There is also a longer-cycle technical signal that Daodu says does not show up often. XRP’s monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen into the oversold reset zone for only the fourth time in 13 years. Each of the earlier RSI resets eventually preceded a major reversal in XRP’s direction, and Daodu says the fourth occurrence is now forming with XRP sitting around $1.09. Two Hope Beacons In The Downtrend While whales and long-cycle chart signals may support the idea of a future rebound, the near-term catalyst for many is policy. Daodu points to the CLARITY Act floor vote as a potential turning point for XRP’s outlook for the rest of the year. The bill cleared the Senate Banking Committee on May 14 and was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar on June 1. That puts it at the fifth stage out of nine needed before it can become law, with the full Senate floor vote identified as the next major step. If the CLARITY Act clears and the macro environment stabilizes, Standard Chartered forecasts XRP could reach $2.80, with a bullish range stretching as high as $8. But if the bill stalls before recess and slips into a later timeline, such as 2030 or beyond, the bank’s outlook suggests prices could retreat toward $0.53. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crashes Near $60,000: $62B In Treasuries Erased, Analyst Sees Potential Bottom Ahead On whether the altcoin will drop below $1, Daodu’s view is more conditional than definitive. He suggests the altcoin could likely test $1 before this leg of the sell-off ends, and whether the level breaks depends on two key factors. The first is whether Bitcoin (BTC) can reclaim and consolidate above $60,000. Daodu says if BTC slides into the $55,000 zone, XRP would likely follow regardless of its own fundamentals. The second factor is whether the CLARITY Act receives a Senate floor vote before the August recess. If that vote happens and the bill clears, the upside could become attractive enough for institutional money to re-engage—potentially prompting a rally from whatever low XRP marks during the downturn.

Cardano has come under intense pressure after plunging to its lowest price level in over five years, triggering a wave of fear across the cryptocurrency market. The sharp decline follows growing concerns about the ecosystem’s future after founder Charles Hoskinson warned of potential challenges ahead, leaving investors questioning whether ADA is approaching a historic buying opportunity or facing deeper trouble. Cardano Price Collapse Sparks Wave Of Market Attention According to Santiment Intelligence, Cardano has quickly become one of the most talked-about assets in the cryptocurrency market after ADA plunged below $0.16 for the first time since December 2020. The sharp decline sparked widespread discussion across the industry and drew renewed attention to the network’s prospects. Related Reading: Cardano Price Could Close May Below This Multi-Year Support — What’s Next? The majority of the attention is linked to growing concerns surrounding Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson’s recent comments about taking a break. In addition, he warned that the ecosystem could face a potential wave of failures due to project shutdowns and funding difficulties, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the asset. Santiment noted that the market reaction was immediate, with both social and on-chain activity rising sharply. Cardano’s social dominance climbed to roughly 0.52%, its highest level of 2026, meaning that more than one out of every 190 cryptocurrency-related conversations on social media was focused on ADA. Furthermore, network activity experienced a notable increase during the period of heightened volatility. Daily active addresses surged to 28,459, marking the highest reading in four months. The spike suggests that users remained highly engaged with the network as the price decline fueled intense debate and bearish sentiment among traders. Loyal Community Refuses To Back Down Santiment Intelligence noted that despite the recent wave of negative sentiment surrounding Cardano, the network continues to benefit from one of the most dedicated communities in the cryptocurrency space. ADA holders have consistently remained active through multiple market cycles, often supporting the ecosystem even during periods when institutional participation was limited. Related Reading: Cardano Strengthens Cross-Chain Connectivity Across The Blockchain Ecosystem – What This Means For The Network The analytics firm pointed out that the recent surge in daily active addresses suggests many users are still closely engaged with the network and monitoring developments rather than abandoning Cardano amid the price decline. However, Santiment cautioned that while retail investors have historically played a major role in Cardano’s growth, the market may require stronger institutional interest and broader adoption catalysts to reverse the current downtrend. Looking ahead, the coming weeks and months could prove critical for ADA. With the asset trading near multi-year lows, investors are likely to focus on ecosystem expansion, successful project launches, and signs of renewed confidence from leadership. Positive developments in these areas could help reinforce the long-term vision that Cardano supporters have maintained for years and potentially attract fresh capital back into the ecosystem.
