Ethereum finds itself at a crossroads after tapping the $3,800 liquidity level and bouncing back, only to stall below the key $4,060 region. With momentum hanging in the balance, traders are questioning whether this pause is simply a fakeout before a recovery or the start of a deeper move toward the $3,600 support level. Struggling Below $4,060: Key Support Yet To Be Reclaimed Ted, a well-followed crypto analyst, recently shared his insights on Ethereum’s latest price action in a post on X. According to the expert, ETH successfully tapped into the $3,800 liquidity level, a move he had anticipated. This level acted as a key zone where buyers stepped in, providing the much-needed bounce for Ethereum after a short-term decline. Related Reading: Wedge Breakout Or False Alarm? Ethereum Faces Its Biggest Support Test Yet Following this bounce, Ethereum managed to recover some ground. However, Ted pointed out that the asset is still struggling to reclaim the $4,060 support region. This level has now become a crucial barrier for ETH, and its inability to hold above it leaves the market in a vulnerable position. The analyst explained that if Ethereum successfully flips the $4,060 level back into support, the market could see a fresh rally develop. Such a move attracts renewed bullish momentum, fueling optimism for a stronger push higher in the near term. On the other hand, Ted cautioned that failing to reclaim this zone increases the risk of further downside. In such a case, Ethereum could see its price tumble back toward the $3,600 level, which stands as the next critical support area.  Fakeout Or Freefall? Ethereum Bulls Cling To Their Last Hope According to Andrew Crypto, in a recent update posted on X, the technical outlook across the crypto market isn’t painting a bullish picture. Andrew highlighted that both BTC and ETH have broken down through key support levels, which increases the likelihood of further declines in the short term. Such breakdowns often suggest that buyers are losing strength, leaving room for sellers to dictate market direction. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Recovery Strong – Major Resistance Test Coming Next While acknowledging that the current setup may not be pleasant for traders, Andrew pointed out that this weakness could present a significant opportunity for long-term investors, offering attractive entry points before the next major market cycle takes shape. However, he also left room for cautious optimism. The only possible bullish scenario at this stage, Andrew explained, is if the current move proves to be a fakeout. In that case, a strong rebound could follow, flipping market sentiment back in favor of the bulls. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin (BTC) has entered a critical phase in its cycle, prompting analysts to debate whether the long-standing bull run is finally nearing its peak. With volatility tightening and historical cycle data indicating a potentially explosive breakout, market experts are closely watching the next few weeks for signals that reveal the market’s current position and future direction. Bitcoin Bull Run Cycle Nears Endgame  Market analyst, ‘CRYPTOBIRD’ has warned that the Bitcoin bull run could end within 30 days. In a thread on X social media, he noted that this current cycle has now reached 1,038 days since the November 2022 bottom, which is equivalent to 97.5% of a standard cycle. Historically, the final 2.5% of Bitcoin’s bull runs have delivered the most dramatic price surges, often catching both retail and institutional investors off guard.  Related Reading: These Analysts Predicted The Bitcoin Price Crash And Their Forecasts Say It’s Not Over Examining the cycle bottom-to-top chart, BTC’s current market structure aligns closely with that of past cycles, where it experienced its largest accelerations just before cycle completion. The black line representing the current 2022-2025 trajectory shows Bitcoin consolidating after strong gains, much like the 2016 and 2020 cycles before their peaks.  From a technical standpoint, the expert notes that BTC is trading in an unusually tight 5% range between $110,500 and $116,000, signaling heavy compression. However, the cryptocurrency recently broke down again and is now sitting slightly above $109,600.  CRYPTOBIRD highlights key levels: 200-week SMA at $53,111 acting as long-term macro support, the 50-week SMA near $99,000 as the bull market floor and the SPX correlation (-0.19). The analyst explained that short-term structures remain mixed, with High Time Frame (HTF) support at $111,296 still intact. However, compression has created conditions where any breakout could set the tone for the remainder of the year.  Furthermore, the Current Trend Framework (CTF) is at $114,916, signaling bearish periods. Presently, price is gravitating toward the 200-day BPRO at $112,250, and if Bitcoin can hold above it, bulls could remain in control. Halving Math Signals Final BTC Breakdown Continuing his analysis, CRYPTOBIRD emphasized that Bitcoin is now 523 days post-halving, placing it firmly within the historical “peak window” of 518-580 days after each halving event. Every previous major cycle top has occurred in this exact range, suggesting Bitcoin is entering the statistical sweet spot for its final move.  Related Reading: Strategist Publishes Bitcoin ‘Cheat Code’ As Factors That Led To Previous ATHs Return Adding to the setup is the market’s present volatility squeeze. Average True Range (ATR) has dropped to 2,250, its lowest reading of 2025, while 50-day volatility sits at 2,800. The analyst notes that such compressed volatility rarely lasts and typically precedes a violent breakout within two to four weeks.  Institutions also appear to be positioning accordingly, with Bitcoin ETF flows showing distribution. Sentiment indicators add another layer, as the Fear and Greed index stands at 44, indicating rising fear rather than euphoria. Meanwhile, RSI is neutral at 46, suggesting that momentum has cooled but not collapsed.  Despite September’s reputation as Bitcoin’s weakest month, CRYPTOBIRD notes that it gained 4.4% month-to-date, defying its historical 6.2% decline. This anomaly, combined with October, which is typically seen as a green month, could set the stage for a bullish Q4. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Thumzup Media’s $10 million stock buyback and its move into Dogecoin mining have stirred fresh interest in DOGE, but traders are watching price action closely for confirmation before calling a rally. Related Reading: Hyperliquid’s Days Numbered? Expert Forecasts ‘Painful Death’ Market Tests Key Trend Line Reports have disclosed that DOGE recently pulled back to a demand zone that matches the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA). That area is being watched as a make-or-break spot. A solid bounce from here could push Dogecoin toward $0.29 in the near term. If buyers push through the rising wedge pattern, a move to $0.40 is the next clear target. Some traders say a run to $1 is possible if momentum picks up sharply, though that would require sustained buying pressure over time. Thumzup announces $10 million share repurchase program, reflecting confidence in our long-term strategy and our commitment to delivering value to shareholders. We also highlight our digital asset treasury: ₿ 19.106 Bitcoins ~7.5M Dogecoins Read the press release:… pic.twitter.com/Z8oEKrIZz5 — Thumzup Media Corporation (@thumz_up) September 24, 2025 Thumzup’s Big Bet On Mining According to company statements, Thumzup bought DogeHash Technologies and expects the unit to own 3,500 mining rigs by year-end. The firm also holds 19 BTC and 7.5 million DOGE, the latter valued at about $1.7 million in recent reports. Donald Trump Jr. is listed as a majority shareholder of Thumzup. He is the son of US President Donald Trump, which has drawn extra public attention to the firm’s crypto moves. The buyback, set at $10 million, was described by executives as a sign they see value in the company’s shares. Institutional Demand And Treasury Moves Separate filings and disclosures show other firms are quietly building up Dogecoin stakes. Reports say CleanCore holds 600 million DOGE in a treasury program and plans to keep buying with an aim to reach 5% of the circulating supply. Treasury accumulation of that scale would remove a large chunk of coins from active trading, if the purchases continue. The launch of the REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF has also been cited by market commentators as another source of growing institutional access to DOGE. Developers Push Protocol Upgrades Based on discussions in developer circles, there are proposals to add native verification of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to Dogecoin. That change would open the door for Layer-2 chains and apps that act more like smart contracts. Some of the proposals also include ways to introduce token burns tied to usage fees. If implemented, such changes could create new supply dynamics that would affect DOGE’s investment case. But these ideas are at the proposal stage and would take time to move from plan to live code. Related Reading: XRP Eyeing Explosive Move In Next Few Months, Research Shows What Traders Should Watch Volume, ETF flows, and whether Thumzup expands mining as promised will be key indicators to follow. Technical levels around the 200-day EMA and the rising wedge boundaries will matter for anyone sizing up short-term risk. Institutional interest and actual protocol changes would be the bigger, slower forces that could reshape Dogecoin’s story over months rather than days.
