Binance Coin (BNB) has fallen sharply this week, sliding 5% in the past 24 hours and over 12% in the last seven days, as new scam alerts and a high-profile memecoin rug pull shake confidence in the BNB Chain ecosystem. The token currently trades around $1,060, marking its lowest level in nearly a month. The downturn comes as Binance co-founders Changpeng “CZ” Zhao and Yi He warn investors about a wave of phishing scams and fake memecoin airdrops spreading through social media. Related Reading: All It Took Was A Tweet: FLOKI Jumps 27% After Musk Mentions It In one of the most damaging incidents, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of BNB Chain, followed by nearly four million users, was hijacked to promote a fraudulent token campaign linked to a fake airdrop. CZ and Yi He Sound the Alarm CZ took to X to issue a direct warning, “Official accounts do not endorse any particular memecoin.” He cautioned users against interacting with suspicious contract addresses or promotional posts, noting that scammers increasingly exploit verified profiles to appear legitimate. Yi He echoed these concerns, reminding traders that responsibility also lies with users. “Please, while everyone is doing on-chain investments, also take responsibility for your own actions,” she stated. The recent “Sir Pancake” scam, a fake token that generated $20 million in volume before collapsing, shows the scale of the problem. Data suggests that roughly 2.5% of new tokens launched on BNB Chain since 2022 have exhibited scam-like behavior, often disappearing within hours of launch.

The latest wave of exploits shows that even platforms with strong security reputations remain vulnerable when hype outpaces due diligence. Tokens launched on the BNB Chain have produced massive gains, one trader converted $3,500 into nearly $7.9 million in just days. That frenzy has fueled ecosystem activity and attracted speculative capital, but it has also exposed Binance Coin (BNB) and its holders to heightened risk.

A recent forecast suggested BNB could hit up to $1,610.44 at its peak. BNB did indeed register a fresh all-time high above $1,200 in early October 2025. However, the euphoria has cooled as broader market conditions turned sour and infrastructure issues crept in. Binance Coin has slipped back toward $1,100 as the crypto market pulled back, and the BNB Chain faced multiple disruptions, including scam projects that have significantly exposed BNB investors.

In a market update on Oct. 10, technical analyst Nik Patel (@OstiumLabs) argued that Ethereum is approaching a make-or-break zone where the next few sessions could define whether the advance resumes or a deeper unwind unfolds. With spot ETH quoted around $4,000, Patel anchored his thesis to a tight cluster of reclaim and invalidation levels on both ETH/USD and ETH/BTC, emphasizing that lower-timeframe behavior must align with higher-timeframe structure to keep the bullish path open. Key Price Levels For Ethereum Now On the weekly ETH/USD chart, Patel said the market “wicked lower into the August open last week but held above the previous weekly low and trendline support,” resulting in an inside week that nevertheless closed “marginally below that major pivot.” The pivot is explicit: “We want to see this pivot at $4,093 reclaimed immediately and not flipped into resistance here on the lower timeframes, or else we could expect another flush of the lows towards that 2025 open.” Related Reading: Ethereum Death Cross That Last Preceded A 60% Drop Just Returned If buyers do force the reclaim, Patel expects last week’s action to stand as a quarterly low: “If we do reclaim $4,093 here, which is what I expect, we should have our quarterly low now in and I would want to see $4,400 flipped into support for the move higher into all-time highs and beyond.” He framed the weekly invalidation at $3,700, warning that a close below would put the yearly open on watch as “last-stand support” for the bullish structure; failure there risks “a much bigger unwind back into $2,850.” Patel’s base case remained constructive: “acceptance back above $4,093 into next week and then a close above $4,400 for October, leading to new highs through $5,000 in early November and a very strong month for ETH.” The daily ETH/USD read connects that high-timeframe blueprint to momentum and market structure. Patel noted “momentum exhaustion into the lows” followed by a higher-low last week, a formation that now must be defended. He wants to see the sequence reassert itself with a drive above the mid-range and a subsequent higher-low above the weekly pivot: “we absolutely want to see this structure now protected and price to form a higher-high above the mid-range at $4,352 and then another higher-low above $4,093 before a breakout higher and a push towards fresh highs.” For confirmation of an impulsive leg, he flagged a trendline break, a flip of the ATH-anchored VWAP into support, and an RSI regime shift: “If we get a trendline breakout and price flips that ATH VWAP into support with daily RSI above 50, I’d expect a move into $4,950 very swiftly, followed by price discovery in November.” The daily invalidation mirrors the weekly logic: if $4,093 acts as resistance and the market pushes below $3,700—then closes beneath it—“we’re absolutely retesting the yearly open,” in his view. ETH Vs. BTC Against Bitcoin, Patel contends that the relative pair has likely printed its Q4 low. On the weekly ETH/BTC chart, price was rejected at trendline resistance, then retraced to the yearly open and held, closing “marginally green” while respecting trendline support off the 2025 lows. “It is my view that the Q4 low for the pair has formed here,” he wrote, adding that a retest and break above the descending boundary into early November would set the stage for a measured expansion: “acceptance above 0.0417 opens up the next leg higher into 0.055.” He placed weekly invalidation at 0.0319. Related Reading: Ethereum Kimchi Premium Spikes To New High — Sign Of Impending Sell-Off? The daily ETH/BTC map refines those signals into actionable levels. Price “marked out that low between 0.0319 and the yearly open before bouncing hard and reclaiming 0.036 as support.” Ideally, 0.036 now acts as a springboard; if not, Patel allows for a higher-low “above the 0.0319 level before continuation higher.” The tactical tell would be a flip of nearby supply: “If we can flip 0.0379 as reclaimed support here, that would be promising for the view that a trendline breakout is imminent, following which I would expect 0.0417 to be taken out and price to head higher, with minor resistance above that at 0.049 before 0.055.” He also identified a confluence band below: “We have a confluence of support between 0.0293 and 0.0319, so flipping that range into resistance would be very bearish ETH/BTC.” Taken together, Patel’s Oct. 10 blueprint hinges on three synchronizations: ETH/USD must swiftly reclaim and defend $4,093; $4,400 must convert from ceiling to floor to clear the runway toward prior highs and a potential $4,950 extension; and ETH/BTC should drive through 0.0379 and then 0.0417 to confirm relative-strength breadth beneath any dollar-denominated breakout. The downside is equally crisp: failure to reclaim $4,093, a weekly close below $3,700, and a subsequent loss of the yearly open would validate the risk that, in Patel’s words, Ethereum could “unwind back into $2,850.” At press time, ETH traded at $3,872.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has had a turbulent week as the broader altcoin market faces intense selling pressure. After weeks of steady growth, the token is now testing key support levels, with bulls struggling to regain control. Despite the ongoing correction across the crypto landscape, sentiment around Hyperliquid remains mixed — while traders brace for more downside, some optimistic analysts see potential for recovery in the coming weeks. Related Reading: The Bitcoin OG Is Back – Opens Massive Short After $30M USDC Deposit According to fresh data from CryptoQuant, whales are going long on HYPE, signaling renewed confidence among large investors even as retail sentiment weakens. These whale moves often mark the early stages of a rebound, especially when they occur during heightened volatility. Analysts note that such positioning can indicate that smart money is preparing for a potential market reversal, or at least for a relief rally once selling pressure cools off. Still, the short-term outlook remains uncertain. With the market environment dominated by fear and liquidity thinning out, Hyperliquid’s price action in the coming days will be critical in determining whether it can hold its current support zone or if another leg down awaits. For now, all eyes are on whale behavior — and what it might be signaling next. Big Players Bet on a Hyperliquid Rebound Altcoin data analyst Kate Young Ju shared fresh insights into Hyperliquid’s futures market, revealing that the average order size has significantly increased, signaling that large investors — or “big players” — are positioning for a potential price surge. According to the data, institutional-scale orders have become more frequent over the past week, a clear indication that market participants with deep capital are starting to take calculated long positions despite the ongoing volatility. This comes after a remarkable year for Hyperliquid, which has rapidly emerged as one of the most innovative decentralized perpetual exchanges in the market. Built on its own high-performance Layer 1, Hyperliquid has attracted both traders and liquidity providers through features like zero gas fees, fast settlement, and native HYPE staking rewards. Since its early 2025 rally, the protocol has seen exponential growth in trading volumes and community engagement, solidifying its position among top DeFi derivatives platforms. The rise in futures order size reflects growing confidence that HYPE may recover from its recent drawdown. Historically, such activity often precedes a reversal, as whales and sophisticated traders tend to accumulate during market uncertainty. This accumulation phase suggests a potential shift in momentum — where smart money is preparing for the next leg up while retail sentiment remains cautious. If Hyperliquid’s price action stabilizes and macro conditions improve, this whale-driven accumulation could act as the foundation for a strong rebound phase. However, analysts warn that a lack of follow-through from retail traders or a broader crypto selloff could still dampen short-term momentum. For now, the data paints a compelling picture: big players are quietly betting that Hyperliquid’s story isn’t over — it might just be entering its next major chapter.

HYPE Analysis: Testing Key Support After Weeks of Volatility Hyperliquid (HYPE) is currently trading around $35.6, down more than 6% on the day, as the token continues to face heavy selling pressure. The daily chart reveals that HYPE has entered a critical support zone near the 200-day moving average (red line), which sits around $34–$35. This level has acted as a strong base during previous corrections, particularly during April and July, when similar pullbacks led to renewed bullish momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Rely on STH Realized Price Support Cluster: Loss Could Trigger $100K Retest However, price action has weakened notably after failing to reclaim the 50-day moving average (blue line) near $42, turning it into short-term resistance. The series of lower highs and sharp rejections from this zone highlight a market struggling to regain confidence. On a broader view, HYPE remains in an uptrend, but the structure is under pressure. If the token manages to consolidate above $35, it could attract buyers aiming for a rebound toward the $40–$42 area. Conversely, a breakdown below $34 could accelerate losses toward $28, the next significant support level. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

A recent post by XRP commentator Remi Relief on the social media platform X has looked into the possibility of XRP’s price reaching the $1,000 price level. XRP is currently trading well below even the double-digit mark. However, according to this crypto commentator, XRP can get to $1,000, and the world doesn’t need to wait until 2030 for this to happen. Vision Of XRP’s Global Purpose In his post, Remi Relief questioned the widespread belief that a $1,000 price target could only be achieved by XRP by 2030. The timeline for XRP to reach $1,000 is going to be far less than that, with the analyst noting that the global economy is moving too quickly for it to take that long. He described the altcoin’s rise as something far bigger than predictions, and this is because the cryptocurrency is set to play an important role in stabilizing the world’s financial system. Related Reading: XRP Price To Crash 40%? Analyst Reveals Worst-Case Scenario Remi Relief’s outlook places XRP at the core of a growing realignment in the world’s financial system. “It’s going that high for the world’s sake,” he said. He contends that the cryptocurrency’s growth is tied to a global effort to rebalance debt and liquidity. Hence, the recent price crashes we’ve seen with XRP and other cryptocurrencies are a deliberate play by institutional players to accumulate more XRP while smaller investors capitulate. According to Remi Relief, these shakeouts are deliberate and designed to clear the market so that major entities can assume dominance before the price finally explodes. He also suggested that political resistance, particularly from the Democratic Party in the United States, could slow or suppress XRP’s ascent, as maintaining control over the traditional banking system aligns with their interests. If such resistance succeeds, the token might fall short of the $1,000 target but could still reach between $100 and $300 before stabilizing. Nonetheless, this is an acceptable outcome given the current XRP price levels. What Must Align For The Altcoin To Reach $1,000 Extraordinary developments in both market structure and adoption would be required in order for XRP to reach a four-digit price level. Predictions like these, as we’ve seen from many XRP enthusiasts, are dependent on whether the token gains widespread adoption in the world’s financial ecosystem. Related Reading: XRP’s Most Important Week In History: Here’s What’s Coming For Ripple Institutional integration would have to expand to a scale where XRP becomes an indispensable liquidity bridge for global payments, central bank settlements, and large-value transfers. At the same time, demand from major financial institutions, including banks, fintech companies, and possibly even governments, would need to grow exponentially in order for this to be reflected in the XRP price. At the same time, a reduction in the liquid supply would be needed. This could happen through large-scale lockups, increased network utility, or widespread adoption in tokenized asset systems that reduce the circulating supply of XRP. In another post on the social media platform X, Remi Relief projected that the altcoin’s price could surge to $1,700 if it repeats its 2017/2018 performance. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.42. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com
