Ethereum is approaching a decisive phase that could carry it into five-figure territory, according to a multi-timeframe analysis from trader Cantonese Cat (@Cantonmeow). Ethereum Ready To Smash All-Time Highs In a video published today, the analyst argues that ETH has cleared a cluster of late-cycle resistances and is now exhibiting a confluence of technical signals—on monthly, weekly, daily, and intraday charts—that “favor some of the higher targets to be met, maybe 1.272, 1.414, 1.618, anywhere around potentially five figures.” These Fib levels would put ETH at $7,752, $9,883 and $14,011 respectively. On the monthly chart, the analyst centers his case on the log-scale Fibonacci structure and volatility regime. ETH, he says, spent months stalling around the 0.886 retracement near $4,000—the same zone that repeatedly repelled the market in prior attempts—but “last month, we had the break through that here, convincingly.” Related Reading: Ethereum Rally Stalls As Spot And Perpetual Volumes Flatten On Binance He notes that the wick of the latest push already poked above the wick from the November 2021 peak, reinforcing the idea that supply at the former top is thinning. Simultaneously, the monthly Bollinger Bands are expanding while price “is impulsively going to the upside here along with the upper Bollinger Band,” a backdrop he describes as consistent with trend acceleration rather than mean reversion. “It does favor some of the higher targets to be met,” he said, while stressing sequencing: “We need to kind of break above the previous all-time high here first before we can actually talk about moving further up.” A second pillar of the bullish thesis is the Ichimoku profile across cycles—specifically the fusion of Tenkan-sen (conversion line) and Kijun-sen (base line). “When you have the Tenkan and Kijin fused together and price is riding up along with it, this fusion over here is called Katana,” he explained. Historically, he said, this “precipitates a big move,” and with price now above the Katana, “the Katana is shooting the price up.” On the current structure: “We got a Katana here being built up and price is currently impulsively going to the upside, so that is also favorable for Ethereum.” On the weekly timeframe, Cantonese Cat frames ETH’s advance through a three-cycle template defined by a “cycle liquidity zone” acting as a pivot. Each prior cycle saw deviations above and below a governing trend line before a sustained move once the zone was recaptured. He places the present consolidation directly on that blueprint: after breaking the “$4,000 liquidity level,” ETH is “consoling sideways… trying to find some energy before breaking up higher.” A back-test is possible but not required, he said; the “primary case” remains continuation unless the chart invalidates. Lower Timeframe Signals The lower timeframes, in his view, are already aligning with that outcome. On the daily chart, he highlights a developing “Adam and Eve continuation pattern” nested within a classic cup-and-handle, where “the handle… volume is not that great,” which he views as textbook, followed by “a pretty decent volume bullish engulfing candle.” Measured against log-scale retracements, price was rejected at 0.786, found support at 0.5, and is now “trying to break through 0.6… work our way back… to 0.786,” a rhythm he says “is being respected pretty decently.” He also points to a short-term bottoming sequence—“you can see something called a tweezer bottom… if you have anywhere around two or three of these kind of wick sticking down like that, that’s usually a pretty decent bottom”—and a three-candle “morning star” reversal: “It’s a reversal pattern and it could end up leading to a reversal here… seems to be working out pretty well.” Related Reading: Citi’s Ethereum Forecast: No New All-Time High Expected, Year-End Target At $4,300 On the 12-hour chart, he reads the structure as reaccumulation in a Wyckoff sense, referencing the “rounded bottom,” a strengthening secondary test—“the ST is higher than the VCLX”—and the emergence of a “creek” overhead that price appears ready to vault. “It does look like a reaccumulation type pattern… showing some strength… consolidating sideways… to reaccumulate before [a] bullish continuation,” he said, adding that after the prior vertical leg, digestion at elevated levels is constructive. Relative-strength diagnostics, he argues, reinforce the ETH-led narrative. Ethereum’s market-share gauge (ETH.D) “has broken above the Ichimoku cloud… with strength,” then “back-tested the cloud for about four weeks,” and may be waiting for the Tenkan to “rise… as support” before the next leg. On a monthly volatility basis, he adds, “the 20-month moving average was reclaimed… and we simply spent a month here back-testing” it—evidence that dominance could trend higher if the back-test holds. “That’s basically meaning that Ethereum wants to continue to outperform the rest of the cryptocurrency market here for [the] foreseeable future,” he said. Breadth indicators outside of ETH also tilt risk-on in his framework. The Total3 index (total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum) is “trying to break above and form an all-time high” on a monthly “cup and handle” structure, while the “Others” index (market cap excluding the top 10 coins) has punched through the 0.786 level on the weekly and is “gravitat[ing]… to the next level, the 0.886.” He emphasizes the distinction between log and linear retracements, noting a failed linear 0.886 breakout in a prior attempt: “If we were to break above the linear, as well as the log 0.886 here with style, then I think Others would end up performing extremely well and would end up following the footsteps of Ethereum.” His conclusion is unambiguous: “I am bullish on Ethereum. I’m bullish on altcoin. I’m bullish on the cryptocurrency market space in general.” At press time, ETH traded at $4,565. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

BNB Chain (BNB) has reached a historic milestone after its native token, BNB, broke past the $1,000 mark for the first time. The achievement comes on the heels of the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 25bps, a move widely seen as supportive for risk assets. The broader crypto market quickly responded, entering what many analysts describe as a new, more constructive phase with optimism for the weeks ahead. Related Reading: Bitcoin Advanced Sentiment Signals Bullish Edge As Traders Eye Fed Pivot The milestone carries symbolic weight, marking BNB’s transformation from a utility token to one of the most valuable assets in the digital economy. The surge reinforces Binance’s dominance as the largest exchange by trading volume, while highlighting the platform’s growing ecosystem, which continues to expand across DeFi, payments, and blockchain infrastructure. Co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) reflected on the moment in a post on X, writing: “Watching BNB go from $0.10 ICO price 8 years ago to today’s $1000 is something words cannot explain. I, not representing any entity or title, as just a community member and a #BNB holder, thank everyone in the BNB and crypto ecosystem, for your support.” BNB Chain (BNB) Enters Uncharted Territory With Momentum BNB chain’s native token has surged more than 65% since June, cementing its position as one of the strongest performers in the current bull cycle. What makes this rally particularly notable is its relative strength against the broader market, a trend that began in late 2023 and has only accelerated in recent months. While many altcoins experienced prolonged corrections and uneven recoveries, BNB has consistently defended key levels, building a resilient foundation for its breakout past the $1,000 milestone. With a market capitalization of around $140 billion, BNB has secured its spot as the 5th largest cryptocurrency in the world, surpassing long-time competitors and reaffirming its status as a cornerstone of the digital asset ecosystem. This remarkable achievement highlights the token’s dual role: as both a utility asset within Binance’s vast ecosystem and as a store of value increasingly favored by institutional and retail investors. The coming weeks are expected to be decisive as BNB enters uncharted price territory. Optimism surrounding the market is high, with analysts pointing to the favorable macroeconomic backdrop—most recently reinforced by the Federal Reserve’s 25bps rate cut—as a catalyst for further growth. However, entering new highs also brings challenges, as volatility often spikes in discovery zones. Related Reading: Solana Sees Institutional Accumulation: 413,075 SOL Moved Off Exchanges In Hours BNB Price Action Details – Weekly Structure BNB has officially reached the historic $1,000 milestone, marking a powerful continuation of its multi-month uptrend. The weekly chart shows a clean breakout from prior resistance zones, with momentum accelerating over the past several weeks. This surge highlights strong demand and institutional accumulation, especially following the Fed’s 25bps rate cut, which has acted as a catalyst for renewed optimism across the market. The chart reveals a well-structured rally with BNB consistently respecting its 50-week moving average, which now acts as a reliable dynamic support around $680. Both the 100-week ($572) and 200-week ($443) moving averages are trending higher, underscoring the token’s long-term strength and confirming a bullish market structure. Importantly, the recent breakout places BNB in uncharted territory, leaving price discovery as the next phase.

Conversely, if selling pressure intensifies, support levels around $850 and $780 could be retested. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Over the years, different trends have emerged for the Bitcoin price depending on how the month ends, either in the green or in the red. September has been historically bearish, but the few times that the month has ended in the green, there have been bullish implications for the cryptocurrency. As this month is already shaping up to end in the green, this report takes a look at what has happened in previous years when the month of September has been green. Expect Bullishness From Bitcoin Price If September Closes Green In an X post, crypto analyst Rekt Fencer highlighted an interesting trend in the Bitcoin price when the month of September has been favorable. This trend has to do with what happened in the years when September closed in the green, ushering in an even more bullish month of October. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Turns Bullish Above $114,000 With Hidden Divergence Forming According to CryptoRank data, in the last 14 years, only five months of September have closed in the green. Out of these five instances, in four cases, the bullish close opened up a more bullish move for October. A close example is the last two years of 2023 and 2024, both seeing the months of September close in the green. September 2023 ended with a 3.99% gain for the Bitcoin price, and the next month saw Bitcoin rally 28.5% in response. A similar case was recorded in September 2024 after the Bitcoin price saw a gain of 7.11% and the subsequent month of October ended with an 11.2% gain for the cryptocurrency. Going further back, September 2015 ended with a 2.52% gain for the Bitcoin price, and then October 2015 saw a 33.1% gain. Similarly, September 2016 ended with a 5.94% Bitcoin price gain, and October 2016 saw a 14.9% gain. Only the year 2012 has seen a deviation from this trend, after a 13.1% close in September ended with a 9.96% loss in October. What Happens If This Trend Repeats? A reoccurrence of this trend would mean that the Bitcoin price could be headed for double-digit gains in the month of October. So far, the cryptocurrency is already seeing gains of 6.24% and if this holds, then the bulls could establish a stronghold for a continuation next month. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Eyes 1,250% Surge To $3.5 – Here’s The Roadmap Add in the fact that the month of October is one of the most bullish months in the history of Bitcoin, and it is already brewing a recipe for success. There is still the possibility of a price decline as profit-taking could ramp up quickly at these levels. However, with institutional inflows on the rise, the Bitcoin price could see a favorable last quarter of the year. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
A DeFi Education Fund survey found 42% of Americans would try DeFi if proposed laws were passed, as many respondents signalled a low trust in traditional finance.
The US Federal Reserve cut the key interest rate by 0.25 points, with the change coming into effect at 2 PM ET. U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gave a press conference on the same day, hinting the cut is a risk management move. He went on to say that ‘[…] a quarter point won’t make a huge difference to the economy,’ but that further cuts were inevitable. Bitcoin reacted with a slight dip to $116.2K, reflecting traders’ caution despite the cut going into effect. Overall, Bitcoin has been trading sideways, still trying to find support above $117K. With investors waiting for clearer signals from the Fed, Powell’s comments, although measured, create a possible bullish scenario for Bitcoin. If investors sense the Fed is leaving the door open for more cuts, this could be the push for a risk-on market and a rally, as seen in past cycles. Historically, Bitcoin has moved in tandem with risk assets, prompting traders to watch the Fed’s next move closely. Meanwhile, analysts are feeling cautiously optimistic, keeping a close eye on $BTC’s support and resistance levels. If the Fed’s decisions boost Bitcoin, it could lift confidence across the market, driving more visibility, liquidity, and upside momentum for low-cap coins like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which has already raised $16.5M in its presale. Could the Fed’s Interest Rate Cut Trigger the Next Big Bitcoin Boom? Historically, the Fed’s rate cuts have usually made borrowing cheaper, increasing traders’ risk appetite and encouraging them to invest in assets that yield high returns, including cryptocurrencies. In 2020, when the Fed cut rates by 0.25%, Bitcoin experienced a remarkable 1,600% surge throughout the year. Additionally, lower rates often make credit more affordable, creating favorable conditions for investments. This new capital can also trickle into the cryptocurrency market, starting with established assets like $BTC. Another effect of rate cuts is the reduced cost of funding, which eases liquidity stress for leveraged crypto traders as positions get repriced. Investors also tend to view rate cuts as a sign the economy is facing headwinds, which often drives Bitcoin to rally in the weeks that follow. Even if the reaction isn’t immediate, many believe that Bitcoin and similar assets can outperform once growth re-accelerates or inflation cools down. At the current inflation rate, Powell’s latest remarks keep crypto investors on edge. The silver lining is that Bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21M coins, positioning it as a hedge against inflation. While investors lose confidence in fiat currencies’ purchasing power during inflationary periods, capital often flows into scarce assets like $BTC. And as confidence in Bitcoin builds, newer related projects like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) are positioned to soar. This presale’s momentum already reflects strong investor appetite for $BTC-linked growth plays. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Expanding Bitcoin’s Ecosystem with a Layer-2 & Smart Contracts Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is a high-throughput Bitcoin Layer-2 (L2) that integrates the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) for low-latency execution and smart contract integrations. Its decentralized canonical bridge enables seamless $BTC transfers between the Bitcoin L1 and the Hyper L2, where it unlocks access to DeFi, NFT marketplaces, and high-throughput dApps – all paid for using wrapped $BTC. $HYPER is the all-in-one juice for this ecosystem, fueling gas, staking, and governance. When the DAO goes live in Q1 2026, $HYPER will also be used to reward liquidity providers, validators, and developers on the same grind. Until then, the presale is still ongoing, with the token launch date set in Q4, 2025. This is prime entry time to enjoy early access to $HYPER before major exchange listings, with front-row seats to 69% staking rewards and whitelist access as soon as the mainnet goes live. Bitcoin Hyper has already raised $16.5M+ in its presale, with the token now selling for $0.012935. The subsequent $HYPER price rise comes in less than 22 hours. Today’s entry price sits just below the listing price of $0.012975, giving early birds an edge. At this price level, a $100 investment today could secure you roughly 7,729 $HYPER tokens. With our Bitcoin Hyper price prediction forecasting a $0.02595 high by the end of 2025, your $100 investment could double in value due to price appreciation alone. Add in the 69% staking APY, and your bag compounds to roughly $339 by year-end — a 239% ROI. This makes $HYPER one of the best crypto to stake. However, note the staking APY is dynamic and could go down soon if more investors lock in their tokens. With our analysts projecting a 2x growth by 2025 and 6.6x in 2026, a timely entry could mean a nice potential profit as the ecosystem expands in Q1 next year. Join the $HYPER presale for the lowest price today. This is not financial advice. Please do your own research before investing in cryptocurrencies.
