The Dogecoin price is once again in the spotlight, with the popular token showing strong upward momentum. Its price has risen sharply in a short period, supported by a mix of new institutional activity and fresh investor enthusiasm. At the same time, a company is building a large reserve of DOGE, demonstrating its trust in the long-term role of the cryptocurrency. First U.S. Dogecoin ETF Sparks Market Excitement In the past day alone, Dogecoin has gained around 14%, pushing its weekly rise to nearly 38%. This strong run has carried the price to about $0.2963, the highest level the coin has seen in eight months. The next test for traders is whether DOGE can reclaim the $0.30 mark, which the token last reached during the early-year bull frenzy. Related Reading: Expert Crypto Trader Says Dogecoin Price Looks ‘Very Good’, Here’s Why Much of the price momentum comes from the announcement of the first-ever Dogecoin exchange-traded fund in the United States. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas announced that the Rex-Osprey Doge ETF, also known as DOJE, is set to debut. While the launch, initially scheduled for last Friday, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart later explained that trading would begin the following week instead. Even with the slight delay, the confirmation from Rex Shares that the ETF is coming has been enough to push enthusiasm higher. The new product is being rolled out under the Investment Company Act of 1940, showing that it is structured to meet strict U.S. regulatory standards. It also arrives at a time when more than 90 other crypto ETFs are waiting on SEC approval. For Dogecoin, the arrival of DOJE is a key moment because it opens the door for bigger investors and institutions to buy in through a regulated channel. CleanCore Solutions Targets 1 Billion DOGE For Corporate Treasury Alongside the excitement over ETFs, large corporate players are entering the Dogecoin space. CleanCore Solutions, a U.S.-listed company, recently announced that it has already secured more than 500 million DOGE. The company now plans to double this amount and hold 1 billion DOGE within the next month. Securing a substantial amount of DOGE for its own treasury would solidify Dogecoin as part of its long-term strategy. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Ready To Break Out, But You Should Watch Out For $3.13 To make sure the holdings are stored securely, the company is working with Bitstamp for custody on behalf of Robinhood. CleanCore’s long-term target is to control up to 5% of Dogecoin’s total circulating supply, a move that would give DOGE a powerful corporate backer. The entry of CleanCore, combined with the upcoming ETF launch, provides Dogecoin with both institutional credibility and retail excitement simultaneously. The latest developments could give the popular meme coin enough momentum to push even higher, with another double-digit gain possible before the end of the week.

The XRP price is flashing a bull flag pattern on its weekly chart, hinting at an explosive breakout ahead. A crypto analyst has highlighted $3.6 as the key resistance in this formation, noting that if XRP can clear this level, the path toward an ambitious End of the Year (EOY) target of $23 is expected to come into view, with short-term milestones anticipated along the way. XRP Price Bull Flag Signals Explosive Potential Crypto market expert Stedas has drawn attention to XRP’s weekly chart, highlighting the formation of a classic bull flag pattern, one of the strongest continuation signals in technical analysis. His XRP price analysis, shared in a post on X social media, shows that the cryptocurrency’s recent sideways movement and consolidation phase are forming the “flag” of the pattern after a sharp rally that created the “flagpole.” This structure typically suggests that a new explosive leg upward could soon unfold once resistance is cleared. Related Reading: XRP Price Gets Tighter: Here’s The Level Keeping It From Price Discovery According to Stedas, the critical level to watch is the $3.6 mark. A decisive break above this resistance could ignite XRP’s next rally phase, potentially unlocking price levels far beyond its current range and former all-time highs. The analyst has identified $6, $13, and even $23 as potential end-of-the-year targets. While these levels may seem ambitious, they align with the behaviours of bull flag patterns, which have historically driven powerful and sustained rallies following periods of consolidation. Notably, XRP’s momentum picked up after it reclaimed the $3 range earlier this month with strong buying pressure. However the price has since slipped to $2.97 following a 3.5% pullback in the past 24 hours. Despite the dip, Stedas’s bull flag framework suggests that XRP is shifting out of its stagnant zone and is now primed for acceleration. If market sentiment aligns with the technicals, the cryptocurrency could be looking at its most significant rally in years. The next few weeks may also prove decisive, as the market awaits confirmation of whether the analyst’s current setup can deliver on its bullish outlook. XRP Retests Fib Zone With $4.6 Target In Play Crypto analyst, Rose Premium Signals, has also shed light on XRP’s structure, focusing on its mid-term outlook. The analysis suggests that XRP has completed a bullish retest, strengthening the case for upside continuation. According to him, XRP has just bounced off the 0.5 – 0.618 Fibonacci retracement zone, a range that often serves as a textbook support level before continuation moves. Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Descending Trendline Breakout, Here Are The Targets Rose Premium Signals has highlighted an entry zone between $2.85 and $3.05, which XRP has already tested and respected with notable strength. The analyst argues that this confirmation marks a valid long setup backed by clear technical structure, Fibonacci alignment, and broader market resilience. From this zone, the chart projects a climb toward $4.67, which serves as the first official target in this mid-breakout scenario. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has finally broken above a major resistance zone, igniting fresh bullish momentum across the market. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bulls Eye $0.54 ‘Final Boss’ Breakout, Says Top Analyst After weeks of consolidation, the token closed above the $3.03–$3.08 range, a level that had capped gains for months. This decisive breakout has shifted sentiment, with traders now eyeing higher targets as momentum indicators flash green. XRP Market Performance Analysis The XRP Technical charts confirm the bullish setup. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed into favorable territory, hovering around 58, a level that historically precedes strong rallies. Volume has also spiked, reflecting growing buyer confidence. Analysts say this confluence of price action and momentum signals could pave the way for XRP’s next big move. Immediate resistance sits at $3.30, with further upside targets at $3.65 and $4.20. On the downside, support is clustered between $2.72 and $3.00, levels bulls must defend to keep the trend intact. XRP's price trends to the upside, but records a decline on short timeframes. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview ETF Speculation Adds Fuel, But Doubts Remain Adding to the buzz is renewed speculation around a potential XRP ETF. Supporters argue that Ripple’s partial legal clarity and XRP’s utility in cross-border payments make it a prime ETF candidate. An approval, they say, could unlock institutional inflows and trigger a powerful demand surge. However, skeptics caution that XRP’s regulatory status remains murky in several jurisdictions. Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP’s classification is still contested, raising doubts over whether an ETF is likely in the near future. Even if approval comes, some analysts argue that XRP’s utility-focused design may limit its appeal as a traditional investment vehicle. For now, ETF chatter remains speculative, but it has injected optimism into the XRP community as the token tests key levels. Whale Selling and Short-Term Pullbacks Despite the bullish setup, on-chain data shows that whales have offloaded over 160 million XRP in recent weeks. Historically, such large-scale selling reflects profit-taking and risk management by institutional players. Yet, XRP’s ability to stabilize around $3 despite this pressure signals strong retail demand. Short-term pullbacks have also been noted, with traders highlighting key support between $2.87 and $2.95. Analysts suggest these dips could provide entry points for bulls aiming for the next breakout above $3.30.

Bitcoin has been the undisputed leader of the crypto market, but the balance of power is starting to shift. Recent market moves indicate that Bitcoin’s dominance is slipping as altcoins surge into the spotlight, driven by institutional interest and network upgrades. While Bitcoin remains the anchor of the digital asset space, altcoins are carving out their own narratives, and investors are beginning to take notice. Bitcoin Consolidates While Altcoin Captures Momentum In an X post, full-time crypto trader and investor, Daan Crypto Trades, has been observing a significant trend in the crypto space. Bitcoin’s dominance (BTC.D) is still trending lower, which shows that altcoins are currently outperforming the market leader. Related Reading: Bitcoin Dominance Falls Below Critical Level For The First Time This Cycle, Altcoin Season Coming? Daan points to the possibility of a crazy end-of-cycle run for altcoins, which could see BTC dominance drop to the 48-49% level. He notes that this is a level where he would personally consider scaling out of his altcoin positions more aggressively. While Daan sees the potential for a short-term drop in Bitcoin’s dominance, he remains bullish on BTC and ETH for the long term. The expert emphasizes that these two assets will always be his main long-term holdings, and doesn’t expect them to lose a significant amount of market share over the next decade. However, their market share will likely increase over time, but that doesn’t mean traders get to play some nice volatility in between. Analyst Fabdarice has highlighted a compelling trend from 2025 on-chain data. Ethereum whale holdings are rising, while Bitcoin whale balances continue to trend down. This divergence mirrors the surge in institutional demand for ETH and the growing recognition that Ethereum is emerging as a credible store of value, not just a utility asset. For the first time, ETH and BTC are being treated as equals on the institutional playing field. Bitcoin remains the original reserve asset of crypto, but Ethereum’s dual role as both infrastructure and wealth preservation is reshaping investor behavior. The ETH/BTC Ratio As A Market Sentiment Indicator Popular crypto commentator CryptosRus has also provided a key insight into the current state of the market by highlighting the significant disparity between Ethereum’s and Bitcoin’s performance relative to each other. CryptosRus pointed out that the ETH and BTC ratio hit its all-time high of 0.148 on June 12, 2017, fueled by the ICO-mania bull run. Related Reading: Ethereum As The Default Crypto Backbone: The Real Reason Behind Tom Lee’s Pick However, the expert observes that in 2025, the ETH/BTC ratio averaged a mere 0.027, showing how much ground Ethereum has lost against Bitcoin over the years. Despite ETH’s role as the backbone of DeFi and its growing institutional presence, it has yet to repeat that level of relative dominance. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
