XRP has spent the past week on the continuation of a downtrend from the previous week, slipping from above $2.50 before rebounding around $2.12 and now hovering around $2.30. The price action reflects a market struggling to find direction, caught between bullish optimism and lingering selling pressure. Despite the broader slowdown in its price action, technical analysis shows that XRP is still displaying a resilient structure on the charts that maintains its critical support levels. According to Egrag Crypto, a popular analyst known for his long-term technical outlooks on XRP, the token may soon enter what will become the most explosive fifth wave yet. Related Reading: XRP’s Price Doesn’t Match Its Growing Real-World Use, Study Finds XRP Elliott Wave Analysis: ‘The Power Of 5’ Egrag Crypto’s latest technical analysis on the social media platform X points to the fact that XRP is in the final stages of its fourth impulse wave, which is a corrective wave based on the popular Elliott Wave Theory. Notably, this movement is now setting up for the beginning of the fifth wave, which is a bullish impulse under the same theory. Looking at previous cycles on the 5-day candlestick timeframe chart, particularly during 2017 and 2021, showed that similar setups came before massive upward surges in XRP’s price. The analyst’s chart displays a repeating structure of five-wave patterns, each representing major bullish impulses in the token’s history. The chart also reflects the distinct cyclical rhythm of XRP’s price behavior over the years. Each major impulsive phase (waves 1, 3, and 5) has always been followed by smaller corrective waves (2 and 4), a structure that continues to repeat with precision. The overlapping bands in cyan and pink, representing exponential moving averages, now point to XRP consolidating within a strong support region around $2.20, which indicates that the fourth impulse wave is coming to an end. XRP Technical Analysis: Source @egragcrypto on X Analyst Says Don’t Fight It By Egrag Crypto’s measure, the ongoing consolidation might be setting the stage for a similar move to double-digit prices if the fifth wave unfolds as projected. The visual projection marks potential Fibonacci extensions of 1.272, 1.414, 1.618, and 2.618 at $4.789, $5.515, $6.755, and $18.259 as possible long-term targets once the fifth wave takes hold. These levels may act as resistance points in the impending bull phase because they resemble the wave geometry that drove XRP’s earlier rallies in 2017 and 2021. Interestingly, the analyst also referenced how skepticism often peaks before major rallies. He reminded followers of a trader who lost $30 million shorting XRP during its last major uptrend in 2024. As such, the analyst concluded by urging traders not to “fight the fifth wave” but to “ride it.” Related Reading: Get Ready — The End Of November Will Be Massive For XRP, CEO Says At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.27, down by 1.6% and 9.2% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively.

After a disappointing performance during the week, the price of Bitcoin has continued its sluggish action over the weekend. According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency has been hovering around the $102,000 level over the past 24 hours. While this current choppy price action seems like an improvement from the severe downturn witnessed in recent days, it doesn’t particularly bring calm to the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Interestingly, the latest on-chain data suggests that the Bitcoin price might still be at risk of further correction in the coming days. Why BTC Price Might Find Bottom Around $95,000 In a November 8 post on the social media platform X, on-chain analyst Burak Kesmeci predicted the local bottom for the price of Bitcoin. According to the crypto pundit, the flagship cryptocurrency could fall to as low as $95,000 before seeing relief and perhaps rebounding to new price highs. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Surge To $5,500: What To Watch Out For To Mark The Bottom The relevant metric here is the Realized Price of Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) age bands, which evaluate the holding pattern of different investor classes through their different realized prices. The UTXO age bands metric tracks the average price at which Bitcoin holders purchased their coins compared to how long they’ve held the assets. The age bands under focus in Kesmeci’s analysis are the 1-week to 1-month group (green line) and the 1-month to 3-month cohort (purple line), which offer insight into short-term holders’ behavior and overall market sentiment. According to the on-chain analyst, the green line has crossed below the purple line three times in 2025. Kesmeci noted that this cross often preceded short-term corrections, including the ones seen on February 24 ($99,000 to $76,000) and September 8 ($117,000 to $109,000). Similarly, this cross occurred on November 1, with the Bitcoin price falling from $110,000 to $99,000. Furthermore, the average dip suffered by the Bitcoin price on these three occasions stands at around 13.3%, with a 45-day consolidation period. Based on this historical pattern, Kesmeci expects the Bitcoin price bottom to form around the $95,000 and $96,000 region after the most recent crossing of the 1-week to 1-month band below the 1-month to 3-month band. Kesmeci concluded: In short, long-term investors are in the red, and this is an undesirable situation for a bull cycle. However, if history repeats itself, Bitcoin may “catch its breath” once more in this region and prepare the ground for a new rise. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands around $102,440, reflecting a nearly 1% decline in the past day.

American Bitcoin, the Nasdaq-listed mining and treasury firm backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., has raised its Bitcoin stash to 4,000 BTC, worth about $415 million, according to a company announcement released Friday. Related Reading: XRP On Fire: Over 21,000 New Wallets Appear In 48 Hours The firm purchased nearly 170 BTC between October 24 and November 5, a haul valued at more than $14 million at current market rates. American Bitcoin Boosts Holdings Eric Trump, listed as co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, said the company is growing its stock of Bitcoin through a mix of scaled mining operations and market purchases. Reports have disclosed that this size of accumulation puts American Bitcoin at about the 25th spot among corporate Bitcoin holders, based on data from Bitcointreasuries.net. The Michael Saylor-led Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) remains far ahead as the largest corporate holder with more than 641,000 BTC on its books, worth around $66 billion. Trump-Linked Ventures Report Large Crypto Gains Based on reports, members of the Trump family have collected roughly $1 billion in pre-tax gains over the last year from a range of crypto projects. Those projects include memecoins such as TRUMP and MELANIA, which together reportedly brought in about $427 million, plus the WLFI token with about $550 million in gains. Reports also point to big outside backers. Chinese entrepreneur Justin Sun is reported to have invested $75 million in WLFI, while Abu Dhabi’s MGX fund is said to have provided $2 billion to Binance using the USD1 stablecoin. The family’s various ventures have pushed their combined crypto exposure into the multi-billion dollar range.

The price of Bitcoin has struggled so far in the month of November, briefly falling below the psychological $100,000 level twice already. Although the flagship cryptocurrency appears to be in a state of calm this weekend, a recent on-chain evaluation shows the possibility of more price corrections in the short term. Bitcoin Risk-Adjusted Returns See Growing Downturn In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, data analytics platform Arab Chain revealed that there seems to be a growing amount of risks for Bitcoin market participants on Binance. This on-chain observation revolves around the Bitcoin Sharpe Signal metric on Binance, which tracks the efficiency of the returns relative to the risks taken by investors on the world’s largest crypto exchange. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Price Bottom In? Latest On-Chain Data Suggests So For context, a high or positive reading from this metric indicates that investors are getting good rewards for the risks they take on. Contrarily, a low or negative reading suggests the predominance of volatility over returns — a typical sign of waning investor confidence. According to Arab Chain, the Sharpe Signal has recently fallen to a negative value of about -0.277. What’s interesting is, this occurred around the same period when Bitcoin saw a decline to the $101,747 level. This indicates what the analyst described as “a clear decline in the quality of risk-adjusted returns on Binance.” Prior to this decline in the Sharpe Signal, the Binance network had consistently seen values above 0.2 — a period of “reward-over-risk” between July and September. It is worth mentioning that this period also coincided with a run of relatively positive momentum for the Bitcoin price. Outlook For Bitcoin Price Regardless of the weakening Sharpe Signal, Arab Chain explained that a full-scale capitulation is not necessarily what is in play. At the moment, there appears still to be a relatively stable amount of trading volume. This means the current decline is not directly being driven by liquidations or impulsive sales. Instead, it suggests less involvement of institutional investors. As a result, the market may just be experiencing a temporary correction or “cooldown” phase, as is expected after major price rallies. In a case where risk remains relatively higher than the rewards (more negative or sustained negative Sharpe Signal readings), the Bitcoin price could see more correctional movement, especially in the short term. However, the Bitcoin market could quickly see a local price bottom formation if the Bitcoin Sharpe Signal on Binance ascends into the positive region. As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at approximately $101,750, reflecting no significant price change in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin’s price has struggled to maintain stability above $102,000 in recent days, and data shows this is due to an apparent imbalance between selling pressure and fresh demand. On-chain data from CryptoQuant reveals that while long-term holders have been actively taking profits, the market is showing limited capacity to absorb their sell-offs. This is a contrast to previous phases of the bull run, where rising demand was able to offset increased long-term holder activity. Related Reading: XRP’s Price Doesn’t Match Its Growing Real-World Use, Study Finds Rising Long-Term Holder Selling Pressure Mirrors Past Bull Cycles Data from on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, which was initially shared by Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, shows an interesting change in dynamics among Bitcoin holder activity that could shape the cryptocurrency’s next move. Julio Moreno explained that long-term holder (LTH) selling is a normal pattern in bull markets as investors take profits when Bitcoin approaches or surpasses all-time highs. The CryptoQuant data shows that the 30-day sum of LTH spending, represented by the purple line in the chart image below, has been increasing since early October. This behavior follows previous bullish rally phases, such as those seen in early and late 2024, when profit-taking coincided with expanding demand, and so Bitcoin pushed to new record prices. The chart accompanying Moreno’s post shows green areas representing periods of positive apparent demand growth and red areas indicating contraction. During January to March 2024 and November to December 2024, LTH selloffs occurred as demand expanded. Bitcoin Long-term Holder Spending Since October 2025, however, that trend has reversed. Even as LTH selling increased, demand has entered a red zone, showing that the market’s ability to absorb this selling pressure has weakened. This has coincided with Bitcoin’s struggle to sustain its position above $102,000, suggesting that price growth might be losing momentum. Sustained Weak Demand Could Delay Next Rally Moreno noted that the critical factor to watch isn’t just the volume of long-term holder sell-offs but whether demand growth can keep pace. When demand is strong, the influx of supply from long-term holders often drives healthy consolidation before another price surge. In contrast, when demand falls behind, the result tends to be prolonged corrections or sideways movement. A large portion of that demand now comes from Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen a sharp slowdown in inflows. Data from SosoValue shows that US-based Spot Bitcoin ETFs ended last week with net outflows of $558.44 million on Friday, November 7, one of the largest single-day outflows in weeks. Related Reading: Get Ready — The End Of November Will Be Massive For XRP, CEO Says Unless Bitcoin’s apparent demand begins to recover in the coming weeks and LTH sell-offs continue, then this might continue to weigh on price action and postpone the next leg of Bitcoin’s rally. In this case, we might continue to see Bitcoin consolidating between $101,000 and $103,000 for the rest of November. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $101,655, down by 0.6% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
The Bitcoin market has suffered through a disappointing performance over the past few weeks, leading to a price retest of the $100,000 support zone. However, an exciting on-chain evaluation predicts a positive price action in the near future. Related Reading: Bitcoin May Launch Recovery To $120,000 If This Condition Holds – Details Bitcoin Price Below Average Cost — Details On November 8, popular market analyst Burak Kesmeci shared on X the underlying reasons behind his expectations of a bullish reversal. Kesmeci’s post mostly depends on the Bitcoin: 90-Day Market Price vs Realized Price Gradient Oscillator. Essentially, this indicator functions as a means of tracking the distance of Bitcoin’s market price deviation from its realized price over the past 90 days. A positive reading from the metric indicates a faster rising market price of Bitcoin, compared to its average cost basis (realized price), thereby showing growing bullish momentum. A negative reading, on the other hand, connotes a significant decline of market price beneath realized price, a sign of bearish momentum, which could extend into a ‘cooling’ phase. In the post on X, Kesmeci reveals that the metric’s reading has fallen to a value of -1.27 STDV (Standard Deviations). As previously explained, this indicates that the Bitcoin price has greatly fallen beneath its historical cost basis, a development that could point out that the flagship cryptocurrency’s price momentum has reached a state of ‘extreme cooldown.’ Expressed more simply, Bitcoin investors are paying much less than the amount its recent buyers did on average to acquire Bitcoin. If more investors were to purchase Bitcoin around its current price, there could be a total or significant absorption of what already appears to be exhausted bearish pressure. Notably, Kemesci also referenced past occurrences to buttress his prediction of an imminent price rebound. According to the analyst, periods where this metric fell below -1 STDV have often preceded the ends of downtrends and the beginnings of price expansions. We see this occurrence twice in recent months: first, in April, where Bitcoin saw a rise from about $82,000 to $100,000; and second, where the price saw a growth from $108,000 in July to reach $124,000. Thus, if historical data is reliable, the Bitcoin price could soon put in a new price bottom, after which significant movement to the upside would likely follow.

Bitcoin-focused ETFs recorded their largest single-day outflow since August, pulling a combined $558 million from the market as prices hovered near $102,000. Data from SoSoValue shows the move pushed some big funds into the red for the day and sent fresh signals that traders are rebalancing after recent gains. Related Reading: Get Ready — The End Of November Will Be Massive For XRP, CEO Says Fidelity And Ark Lead Outflows Fidelity’s FBTC saw the biggest withdrawal at $256 million. Ark Invest And 21Shares’ ARKB followed with $144 million in redemptions, a record relative to that fund’s size. BlackRock’s IBIT also recorded $131 million of outflows, marking the seventh day of net withdrawals in eight trading sessions. At the same time, reports show JPMorgan boosted its stake in BlackRock’s ETF by 64%, bringing its holding to 5.28 million shares valued at $343 million as of September 30. The bank also held $68 million in call options and $133 million in put positions on the same date. Market Participants Trim Positions While Some Add Based on reports, the big daily outflow looks less like a crash and more like position shifting. Some managers appear to be taking profits. Others are quietly adding exposure, which helps explain why prices held roughly steady despite the redemptions. Traders watching ETF flows say the moves reflect growing macro uncertainty rather than a complete loss of faith in Bitcoin. Whale Selling And Long-Term Holders Cashing Out On-chain trackers show that long-dormant wallets are moving large amounts. Sales in the $100 million to $500 million range have been logged from addresses that had been still for years. K33 Research flagged that 319,000 BTC that had been held for six to 12 months moved into profit-taking. The firm also reported that “mega whales” sold roughly $45 billion worth of Bitcoin in the past month. Analysts describe this as a major, organized exit by early holders. Price Holds Inside Key Range As Moving Averages Cap Gains Bitcoin has been trading in a tight band. Reports place a demand block between $100K–$102K and a resistance cluster near $114K. The 100-day and 200-day moving averages are above current prices and acted as overhead resistance. A recent rejection around the 100-day MA near $110K led to a quick retest of the roughly $101K support, which some traders interpret as a liquidity sweep.
