Bitcoin (BTC) has maintained a strong bullish performance over the past seven days, with the price gaining by approximately 12%. The crypto market leader rose to near $124,000 before experiencing a slight retracement, which has now forced prices to $122,070. With the market maintaining a consolidation pattern, prominent analyst Ali Martinez has shared some important price insights based on the MVRV pricing bands. Related Reading: Bitcoin, XRP Testing Key Resistances And Could Turn Messy Again – Here’s Why Holding Above $117k Could Propel BTC To $140k Next The MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) metric measures how far Bitcoin’s market price deviates from its realized price, effectively assessing whether BTC is overvalued or undervalued relative to historical norms. The chart’s color-coded deviation bands visualize these extremes, with the +0.5σ ($117,644) band presently acting as an important threshold. In an X post on October 4, Maritnez explains the importance of this deviation band, stating that BTC’s ability to maintain price action above this mid-level band could precede large-scale bullish continuations. In contrast, the chart below suggests that a sustained price drop below the +0.5σ has often marked deeper corrections or mid-cycle resets. Notably, the upper red band, marked around $139,800 (+1σ), represents the next key resistance level and an area where traders are expected to start taking profits. However, a steady consolidation above +0.5σ is necessary to maintain bullish structural strength and provide the push for the next leg, which is expected to propel BTC beyond its current all-time high at $124,457. However, a price fall below this level could result in Bitcoin heading to the mean deviation band around $95,394. This would represent a 21.8% decline from present market prices and potentially the start of a bear market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $160k By Early 2026? Analyst Identifies 2 Conditions For Uptrend Bitcoin Realized Price Steady At $54,000 As Market Remains Healthy In other news, Glassnode MVRV pricing bands data reveal that the current BTC realized price is set around $54,348. For context, this metric reflects the average price at which investors last moved their BTC, effectively serving as a psychological support during market corrections. Notably, the current gap between the spot price, around $122,000, and the realized price underscores a healthy bull phase, with most holders sitting on substantial unrealized gains. As long as the realized price continues to rise steadily, it reinforces the underlying strength of the market and signals long-term confidence in an upward trajectory. At press time, Bitcoin is valued at $122,197 following a 0.3% decline in the past day. In tandem, the daily trading volume is down by 55.52% representing a fall in trading activity.

According to the latest on-chain data, Bitcoin has been witnessing an interesting change in its holder behavior, further intensifying the bullish speculation in the market. Bitcoin UTXO Count Declines As Price Surges In a Quicktake post on CryptoQuant, market analyst CryptoOnchain revealed that long-term Bitcoin investors seem to be changing their investment strategy by increasingly holding on to their coins. This on-chain observation is based on the Bitcoin UTXO Count metric, which tracks the total number of individual unspent transaction outputs on the blockchain. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks $123,000 As Rising Open Interest Signals More Action Ahead For context, an unspent transaction output is an amount of a cryptocurrency (in this case, Bitcoin) that has been received by an address, but has not yet been used as input for a new transaction. CryptoOnchain shared that this on-chain metric has been on a steady decline since January 2025. In the post, the crypto analyst pointed out that the UTXO count recently reached about 166.6 million, the lowest point seen since April 2024. Since the Bitcoin UTXO reached a peak of approximately 187.5 million in January, it has witnessed a contraction of up to 11% — an event which CryptoOnchain interprets as a clear sign of network consolidation. Interestingly, this decline seen with unspent transaction output contrasts with Bitcoin’s price action. While the UTXO has maintained a steady bearish structure, Bitcoin’s value has continued to ascend. The flagship cryptocurrency saw a price growth from about $99,000 to its current market price of around $122,000. This “inverse relationship” is one that the online pundit explained to be a “classic hallmark of a maturing market.” Why The Decline And What To Expect A decreased UTXO count could be a result of several underlying factors, including that long-term holders are choosing to hold their coins rather than selling for profit. Owing to this “hodling” behavior, it can be said that the market is starting to gain maturity. Also, CryptoOnchain explained that low UTXOs could indicate reduced transactions within the Blockchain. By extension, this could mean that fewer sales are going on, which translates to reduced selling pressure on price. Also, a lower UTXO count points to increasing network efficiency. As users aggregate smaller UTXOs into larger ones, they optimize the blockchain space, leading potentially to a less congested network. Ultimately, the simultaneous decline in Bitcoin’s UTXO and its price increase paints an exciting picture for the cryptocurrency’s future. This combination signals that the premier cryptocurrency is at a reaccumulation phase, meaning that investors are strategically positioning themselves in expectation of the next significant upward move. As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at about $122,720, showing an over 1% growth in the past day.

The Solana price had a relatively better performance than most large-cap crypto assets in September, posting a double-digit gain in the past month. The altcoin has made an even stronger start to October, enjoying the opening days of the month with an over 10% price jump so far. It is worth mentioning, though, that the Solana price somewhat struggled going into the weekend, which has seen the loss of the $230 mark. However, the latest on-chain data suggests the SOL token might only be taking a break, as it has yet to encounter the next major obstacle to its continuous ascent. Sustained Upward Run Hinges On $245 Resistance: Data In an October 4 post on the X platform, crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared an on-chain insight into the next significant resistance for the Solana price. According to the popular online pundit, the price of SOL is likely to face major resistance around the $245 price over the coming weeks. Related Reading: XRP Price Completes 7-Year Double Bottom Amid Prep For Moonshot To $19 This on-chain verdict is based on the SOL UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) metric, which measures the volume of a particular cryptocurrency that was bought at a specific price level. These price levels act as support and resistance levels for Solana, as they represent the cost basis of different investors. It is worth mentioning that the strength of an on-chain support and resistance level typically depends on the number of investors who have their cost basis at the specific price level. According to Martinez, the next such level is around the $245 region, where more than 5.9 SOL tokens were acquired. This level is considered the next major resistance for the Solana price, as it is above the current spot value. The $245 zone is seen as a significant supply wall, as several investors—who have been underwater for long—are likely to dump their assets as soon as they break even or move into profit, thereby putting significant downward pressure on price. Ultimately, the return of the Solana price to its current all-time high of $293 could be in jeopardy if it fails to clear the major supply wall around $245. As observed in the highlighted chart, the SOL would likely not be facing any significant barrier on the path to the record-high price. Can Solana Price Surge 100%? Interestingly, Martinez projected in a separate post on X that the Solana price could travel to as high as $520. However, the altcoin would need a weekly close above the long-term resistance around $260 to embark on this upside rally. A run to $520 would represent an over 110% surge from the current price point. As of this writing, the Solana token is valued at around $228, reflecting a nearly 2% dip in the past 24 hours.

Dogecoin’s price action in recent days has been defined by steady higher lows and attempts to break above $0.25. The meme coin has managed to maintain bullish momentum in the past 24 hours after ending September consolidating. This recent move has kept Dogecoin’s uptrend intact on the daily chart, and according to technical analysis shared on the social media platform X by analyst Javon Marks, this structure could be setting the stage for a powerful upward move. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rockets Past $119K, Analysts Now Eye $130K Target Breakout Structure And Higher Lows According to Marks, Dogecoin’s current price formation could be the early stages of a massive rally that carries the meme coin to $0.65 in a quick move. This prediction is based off a clear sequence of higher lows (HL) and higher highs that has been forming on the Dogecoin price chart. This formation is on the 5-day candlestick timeframe chart, and it goes as far back as the 2022 bear market. The first higher low started from the capitulation low in 2022 and continued through 2023 into 2024. Each higher low shows growing buyer interest after every correction, which is a sign of bullish continuation on higher timeframes. The most recent example came during September’s downturn, when Dogecoin found a strong support at $0.22. Rather than breaking down further, the price rebounded from this level to create yet another higher low in the series. This response was important because it confirmed that Dogecoin’s uptrend was still intact. Marks points out that this upward structure of higher lows means that another wave up is likely to be in the works. Therefore, the current phase between $0.22 and $0.25 now is more of a build-up before the next explosive move higher. Dogecoin 5-day price chart: Javon Marks on X The Case For A 153% Rally To $0.6533 Marks’ projection goes beyond a simple breakout. The analyst projected Dogecoin to go on to create another higher high in the coming weeks and months. This wave up could be an over 153% run from Dogecoin’s current price level. His chart identifies $0.6533 as the immediate target for this wave. Achieving this level would require Dogecoin to more than double from its current price, but this is not unprecedented given its price history. If Dogecoin were to reach the $0.6533 breakout target, it would be its strongest bullish rally since early 2021. However, this is still below its 2021 all-time high of $0.7316, meaning there’s still room for further upside if bullish conditions persist. Interestingly, the analysis also noted that Dogecoin might extend the rally above the $1 threshold. Particularly, the second price target is at $1.25711, although this may seem far-fetched in the short term.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently showing signs of entering one of its strongest bullish phases yet, with an analyst pointing toward a rare chart formation that could trigger a powerful upside rally. According to technical analysis, Dogecoin may be on its way to hitting new all-time highs, with $0.8 marked as the next bullish target. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rockets Past $119K, Analysts Now Eye $130K Target Analyst Doubles Down On Bold Dogecoin Forecast A new analysis by Mikybull Crypto, a prominent market expert on X social media, reveals that Dogecoin has completed the critical phases of a Bump and Run reversal chart pattern—a setup that historically precedes explosive breakouts. With price action already reclaiming its trendline, the analyst has doubled down on earlier forecasts, predicting that the DOGE price could experience an explosive surge toward the $0.8 level. Sharing a price chart, Mikybull clearly highlights the textbook Bump and Run reversal, which consists of a lead-in phase, a bump phase, and a final breakout followed by a throwback to the trendline below $0.23. DOGE’s weekly price action has mirrored this chart structure, with the recent move back to retest the broken resistance now serving as a potential springboard for the next phase. In technical terms, this “throwback” often marks the last opportunity for accumulation before the real rally begins. Mikybull, who has been closely tracking Dogecoin’s macro setup, emphasized in his X post that “the main bullish rally is about to kick off.” In an earlier update, the analyst described the upcoming bull phase as a “face-melting rally,” noting that the Bump and Run pattern is rare but extremely reliable when confirmed. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading slightly above $0.25, and a rally to the projected $0.8 target would represent a massive gain of approximately 220%. Such a move would propel DOGE’s price beyond its 2021 record high of $0.73, setting a fresh ATH with an additional 9.6% upside. DOGE Breakout Structure Reinforces Rally Setup A second technical analysis by crypto market expert Unipcs on X delivers a similar bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price. His chart highlights a tightening wedge structure, where DOGE has been consolidating below long-term resistance while forming a series of higher lows. Recently, the price broke out from this compression zone, reinforcing the meme coin’s bullish narrative. Unipcs reiterated that “DOGE to $1 is a meme until it isn’t,” suggesting that this cycle could deliver the long-anticipated push toward the $1 price level. He further noted that Dogecoin looks primed for an aggressive move that could generate strong spillover effects for other major meme coins in the market. Related Reading: Space Meets Crypto—Spacecoin Executes 1st Blockchain Transaction Beyond Earth In an earlier post, he pointed out that Dogecoin’s structure still looked bullish on the Higher Time Frame (HTF), coinciding with the FED interest rate cut and the DTCC listing of a new Dogecoin ETF in September.

Bitcoin and XRP have both made strong attempts to reclaim resistance levels in recent days. Bitcoin has broken above the $120,000 price level. XRP, on the other hand, hasn’t found it as easy to establish a firm breakout, although it has pushed as high as $3.10 in the past 24 hours. Technical analysis points to possible short-term price gains if resistance levels holds, but it also outlines a scenario where both Bitcoin and XRP could face another round of declines in the coming week. Related Reading: Space Meets Crypto—Spacecoin Executes 1st Blockchain Transaction Beyond Earth XRP’s Struggle Against The Downtrend Technical analysis of XRP’s daily candlestick timeframe chart, which was posted on the social media platform X by a crypto analyst called Guy on the Earth, shows that XRP’s price action in the past 48 hours is pushing above a downtrend resistance, with the top of its consolidation rectangle at $3.12 now in focus. The analyst noted that the cryptocurrency narrowly missed this target during its latest surge, stalling at $3.10 before slipping back to $3. However, XRP has so far managed to retest and find support on the downtrend line, which suggests there is still a chance for continuation higher. However, the analyst noted that the rally could fade quickly, unless XRP can closes the week and hold above the $3.12. A drop back below $3.00 would invalidate the breakout attempt and reopen the possibility of a breakdown to the $2.72 support. The pink circle drawn on the chart below shows the risk of XRP falling back to retest the ascending trendline around $2.40 to $2.50 if $2.72 is broken. XRP Daily Price Chart: @guyontheearth Bitcoin, on the other hand, has been displaying stronger momentum. The breakout above $120,000 has been decisive, and this can be seen as a healthier technical structure compared to XRP. The Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) is also pointing higher, meaning Bitcoin could continue leading the market regardless of whether the next move is up or down. A Big Weekend Ahead For Both Bitcoin And XRP The next few days will be important for both XRP and Bitcoin. The three-day candle closes within hours, and the weekly candle will confirm the broader direction soon after. For XRP, holding above the $3.00 downtrend retest is important to maintain bullish momentum. On the other hand, Bitcoin maintaining strength above $120,000 could confirm its breakout and establish new grounds for further rallies. Failure for Bitcoin to hold above $120,000, would likely usher in another bloody phase next week, with XRP at risk of dropping back toward $2.72 or even lower. The week’s close will determine whether this rally has legs or whether the correction scenario plays out instead.
