XRP is back in action — and this time, it’s not just the charts doing the talking. After a strong rally that pushed the price to a recent high of $3.65, Ripple’s token is holding steady, moving between $2.35 and $3.50. Experts are now saying that the $4 mark is starting to look like a …
Bitcoin has already shown a lot of strength in recent times, pushing as high as $123,000 before trailing back down toward $117,000. So far, it looks like the digital asset has hit a roadblock and is now possibly looking at a peak. But analyst Merlijn The Trader has explained that it is far from over for Bitcoin with more rallies to come. He reveals that the Bitcoin price is yet to stage its ‘final act’, which must happen before there are talks of a top. Bitcoin 4-Year Cycle Is Still In Play After the Bitcoin price rallied to new all-time highs pre-halving, which had never happened before, there were talks that the 4-year cycle had been broken. For clarification, the 4-year cycle is tied to the Bitcoin halving events, which take place every four years, cutting block rewards for miners in half. Related Reading: Bitcoin Re-Enters Profit Zone As Greed Rises, But Rally To $200,000 Still Possible However, the reduction in block rewards is not the only interesting thing about the 4-year cycle, because each halving also ushers in a new bull market. This has been the case for the past three bull cycles, and Bitcoin is also expected to follow this. Historically, the market rallies for around a year after the halving, with the top being reached one year later. Going by this trend, the Bitcoin price and the crypto market at large are expected to keep rallying before topping later this year. Pointing to this 4-year cycle, the analyst forecasts another stretch of price increases. The chart shows that price often declines for one year and then rallies for three years, and so far, the Bitcoin price has only been rallying for two, leaving 2025 as another year for rallying. Additionally, Bitcoin is still a long way from levels that have previously marked the top of previous bull markets. Thus, there is still a while before it hits its peak in 2025. Besides, each bull cycle has seen Bitcoin rise 3x higher than its previous all-time highs, and it is year to hit even 2x higher than its previous $69,000 high. How High Can BTC Go? If the 4-year cycle is still in play, then it means that the Bitcoin price rally is far from done. In the analyst’s chart, he shows the possible top for Bitcoin based on past cycles, and BTC is still in the middle of the box. The top of this box puts the BTC price at around $200,000 before a top can be reached.

If this forecast plays out, then Bitcoin is expected to see another 50% rally before the bull market is done. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Despite the excitement surrounding what President Donald Trump has dubbed “Crypto Week,” experts caution against premature celebrations in the cryptocurrency space. The House of Representatives recently passed three significant bills aimed at regulating digital assets, marking a pivotal moment for the industry. However, these legislative changes are not expected to take effect for quite some time. Three Key Crypto Bills Passed The three bills—the Genius Act, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act—are seen as crucial steps toward establishing a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. This development has been fueled by intense lobbying efforts from industry players like Coinbase Global, which have successfully influenced politicians, including Trump. Related Reading: Bitcoin Re-Enters Profit Zone As Greed Rises, But Rally To $200,000 Still Possible In anticipation of this legislative week, Bitcoin prices soared to record highs beyond the $123,000 mark for the first time, alongside significant gains for other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH) and XRP. However, TD Securities analyst Jaret Seiberg notes that it could take over a year for the new legislation to come into effect. Among the passed bills, only the Genius Act has also cleared the Senate, and Trump signed it into law shortly thereafter. This act establishes a framework for regulating payment stablecoins requiring issuers to maintain one-to-one reserves in US dollars or Treasury securities. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has argued that this law could generate an additional $3.7 trillion demand for T-bills, although some analysts, like Raymond James’ Ed Mills, express skepticism about such projections. Implementation Timeline Remains Uncertain Despite the signing of the Genius Act, there will be no immediate impacts on stablecoin issuers such as Circle Internet Group or Tether. As reported by ABC news, the Treasury Department is expected to draft rules within a year detailing the qualifications for issuing stablecoins and the conditions under which foreign-pegged stablecoins can enter the US market. This process will involve public commentary and could lead to litigation, suggesting a lengthy timeline before any real changes are felt in the industry. Related Reading: Warning Signs Flash As Bitcoin Miners Unload At Record Pace The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, on the other hand, is particularly important as it delineates the regulatory oversight of crypto exchanges, brokers, and tokens between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). With bipartisan support in the House, there is optimism that the Senate will pass its version before the upcoming August recess, potentially delivering a unified law for the president’s signature by September. The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, the third piece of legislation, aims to prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC). This bill, which passed with narrower margins, was attached to a national defense bill, and its future in the Senate will likely involve protracted negotiations, possibly extending until December.

The Litecoin price has been on an impressive run over the last few weeks, mirroring the improving climate of the altcoin market in that period. In the past week, the LTC token put out a strong bullish display, returning above the psychological $100 mark for the first time since mid-May. The Litecoin price has not stopped at the breach of the $100 level, climbing above the $110 mark on Saturday, July 19, to cap off an exhilarating week. Interestingly, the price of LTC seems to only be at the beginning of an extended rally, as pointed out on X by an expert crypto trader. Is LTC About To Witness A 900% Surge? In a recent post on the X platform, Chartered Market Technician (CMT) Tony Severino painted an excitingly bullish picture for the Litecoin price even after its recent market exploits. According to the crypto expert, the price of LTC is on the verge of a bullish breakout that could decide its trajectory over the next few months. Related Reading: XRP Headed For ‘Insane Levels’ — Major Predictions After Hitting 7-Year High This bullish projection is based on a multi-year contracting (or symmetrical) triangle pattern on the Litecoin 2-week chart. The contracting triangle is a pattern in technical price analysis marked by a falling upper boundary (connecting a series of lower highs) and a rising lower trendline (connecting a series of higher lows). In a symmetrical triangle pattern, the asset price continuously contracts and moves toward the apex. Eventually, the price will breach the upper trendline for a breakout or breach the lower trendline for a breakdown. This chart formation could be a continuation or reversal pattern depending on the break’s direction (breakout or breakdown) and the initial trend direction. However, symmetrical triangles are often continuation patterns, meaning the price tends to break in the initial trend direction before it fell into the triangle pattern. So, if history is anything to go by, the Litecoin price is likely to continue its upward trend after it breaks out of the current setup. As Severino pointed out, the Litecoin price is preparing to break out of this multi-year symmetrical triangle and could be on track to break above its current all-time high of $410. In a contracting triangle formation, the price target is determined by adding the length of the widest point of the triangle (or base) to the breakout point. Going by this logic, the price of Litecoin could be on the verge of an over 900% surge over the next few months. Litecoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of LTC sits at around $112.5, reflecting a nearly 11% gain in the past 24 hours.

Gold proponent Peter Schiff hit out at US President Donald Trump’s support for cryptocurrency, calling Bitcoin a “decentralized Ponzi scheme” wrapped in the American flag. He warned that pushing digital assets at home could erode trust in the dollar. Schiff said that, while some may cheer weaker paper money, it will be gold that wins when Bitcoin finally stumbles. Related Reading: Whales? No, Newbies: Surge In New BTC Holders Fuels Market Rally—Study Dollar Confidence In Question According To Schiff, encouraging domestic investment in Bitcoin and crypto “undermines the US economy and speeds up the dollar’s collapse.” He argued that millions of Americans buying digital tokens won’t prop up the world’s main reserve currency. Schiff believes real damage comes when retail investors swap dollars for speculative coins, tipping the scales against greenbacks in global markets. By promoting domestic investment in Bitcoin and crypto, Trump is helping undermine the U.S. economy and speed up the dollar’s collapse. Bitcoiners may cheer, as most bought Bitcoin to profit from a dollar crash. But ironically, gold will be the winner as Bitcoin will crash too. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) July 18, 2025 Ponzi Scheme Allegations Schiff described recent cryptocurrency bills as little more than a way to “cloak Bitcoin—nothing more than a decentralized Ponzi scheme—in the trappings of legitimacy.” He claimed insiders use new laws to drive prices up, then get out at higher levels. “The industry is using them to hype Bitcoin and other cryptos so insiders can cash out at higher prices. It’s a legislative low point,” he wrote on X. Stablecoins Under Scrutiny Based on reports, Schiff sees stablecoin plans as a false promise for dollar dominance. He pointed out that a stablecoin backed by any fiat currency offers no real edge. That stability, he warned, will soon give way. He also pointed out tht dollar‑backed coins are only as stable as the underlying money. The main purpose of the “landmark” crypto bills is to cloak Bitcoin—nothing more than a decentralized Ponzi scheme—in the trappings of legitimacy. The industry is using them to hype Bitcoin and other cryptos so insiders can cash out at higher prices. It’s a legislative low point. — Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) July 18, 2025 Echoes Of Tulip Mania Invoking Charles Mackay’s 1630s tale, Schiff compared the digital token craze to the Dutch tulip bubble. He quoted Mackay: “They go mad in herds, and only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.” In that era, bulb prices soared before crashing overnight. Schiff said swapping tulips for Bitcoin makes the same point. Related Reading: $57 Billion Mistake? Ex‑Ripple Engineer Reveals XRP Investment Blunder Gold Set To Benefit Schiff predicted that, even if Bitcoin supporters toast short‑term dollar weakness, gold will be the real winner. He said that shaky digital schemes will collapse at some point, just as tulip contracts became worthless. When that happens, he expects gold prices to climb.

A major Dogecoin whale is making a bold $21.24 million leveraged bet just days after locking in a multi-million-dollar profit. The move, which was revealed by Lookonchain, sparked interest among crypto investors on the social media platform X. This comes as Dogecoin is starting to deviate from its bearish Q3 history with a strong performance in the past seven days. Related Reading: $57 Billion Mistake? Ex‑Ripple Engineer Reveals XRP Investment Blunder Whale Makes High-Stakes On Dogecoin According to on-chain transaction monitor Lookonchain, a crypto whale identified as address 0x6adb recently closed a previous long position on Dogecoin with a tidy $2.14 million profit. According to data from HyperDash, this position was open for 63 hours and was eventually closed on July 18. The entry was spot on, and the position was able to take full advantage of Dogecoin’s push from $0.19 to $0.24 within this time period. However, what makes this trade notable isn’t just the size of the gain but the fact that the whale immediately re-entered the market with even more confidence. A few hours after exiting, the whale opened a new 10x leveraged long position on 84.08 million DOGE, which was worth approximately $21.24 million at the time. Interestingly, the new long position was timed nearly perfectly again. As noted by Lookonchain, the position quickly moved in the whale’s favor, racking up an unrealized profit of $1.64 million. Whale 0x6adb closed his $DOGE long at the top yesterday, locking in a $2.14M profit. 10 hours ago, he jumped back in — going 10x long on 84.08M $DOGE($21.24M), with an unrealized profit of $1.64M. Smart moves! https://t.co/f3FekXx5yg pic.twitter.com/zc2tYXnLeP — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) July 19, 2025 Dogecoin Enters Q3 With 53% Gain Dogecoin’s strong performance in July has marked a positive start for its price action in Q3 2025. Interestingly, the last time Dogecoin ended Q3 with a positive close was in 2020. Since then, the memecoin has posted Q3 losses for six consecutive years, ranging from 6.9% in 2023 to as high as 18% in 2021. However, as it stands, data from CryptoRank shows that Dogecoin is now experiencing a 53.6% increase in Q3 2025. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.253, marking a 28% increase from $0.197 just a week ago. According to CoinGlass data, Dogecoin’s open interest on the derivatives market has crossed over the $4 billion mark for the first time since February. This data shows that there are a large number of active participants and strong interest in Dogecoin, which is a positive outlook for its price action in the new week. The $0.25 price level is now a support zone and Dogecoin could embark on a strong move to $0.30 and beyond in the new week if this floor holds. However, any decisive drop below it will flip sentiment fast. Related Reading: Whales? No, Newbies: Surge In New BTC Holders Fuels Market Rally—Study For a trader with a 10x long position, even a 10% dip in Dogecoin’s price will push the trade deep into negative territory.
