The bank disclosed a $343 million stake in iShares Bitcoin Trust, signaling continued institutional demand for bitcoin exposure
Nearly 60% of weekly trades in December 2024 were flagged as likely wash trading, with coordinated networks of 43,000 wallets detected.
US Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs finally broke their six-day losing streak on November 6, posting their first day of net inflows after nearly a week of continuous capital outflows. Data from SoSoValue shows that Bitcoin ETFs drew $240.03 million in new investments over the past 24 hours, while Ethereum ETFs gained $12.51 million. Solana ETFs, meanwhile, continued to show remarkable consistency, bringing in $29.22 million in daily inflows. That figure extended Solana’s winning streak to eight consecutive days of positive capital movement, even as other major digital-asset ETFs struggled to maintain momentum. A Strong Debut For Solana ETFs Data shows that Solana ETFs launched with around $70 million on the first day and went on to accumulate roughly $531 million in net assets within the first week.

Despite choppy trading conditions, Solana’s ETFs managed to attract consistent daily inflows between $37 million and $70 million through most of the week before a moderate slowdown to around $9.7 million on the seventh day. Capital Flows Shifting With Bitcoin And Ethereum Struggles The steady inflows into Solana ETFs are notable, particularly because they are happening during a difficult stretch for the broader crypto market, one that has placed Bitcoin under pressure of losing the $100,000 psychological level. Related Reading: XRP And Solana Set New $3 Billion All-Time High As Interest Explodes Data from SoSoValue reveals that Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a six-day run of outflows between October 29 and November 4, totaling around $2 billion in withdrawals. The single largest daily outflow occurred on November 4, when $577.74 million exited the funds. Spot Ethereum ETFs also faced a similar pattern, losing approximately $837.66 million over the same period. The split between Solana’s rising inflows and the sustained outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum shows a subtle but important modification in investor sentiment. Although, it is important to note that both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs witnessed positive flows in the past trading day, and bullish investors can only hope it continues to stay this way. Even so, Solana ETFs are in their early stages and still have a considerable distance to cover before matching the size and liquidity of Bitcoin and Ethereum’s products. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $101,482, down 1.6% in the past 24 hours, while Ethereum is trading at $3,336, a 1.2% decline over the same period. Solana ETF inflows are yet to reflect in the cryptocurrency’s price, as it is down by 1.4% and 15.3% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively, and is trading at $157.

For years, the assumption inside crypto and across traditional finance was simple: when institutional adoption finally matured, Ethereum would be the chain Wall Street chose. This is unsurprising, considering the network is the largest smart-contract network, the default environment for developers, and the ecosystem that has shaped today’s idea of programmable finance. However, as institutional […]

XRP is holding firm on the weekly time frame despite the latest market-wide drawdown, according to an Elliott Wave roadmap shared by crypto technician Hov (@HovWaves). On Hov’s Bitstamp-based 1W chart, the current candle sits near $2.22 with three days and several hours left to close, and the structure remains nested inside a higher-time-frame impulse that he counts as wave iii completed, wave iv in progress, and a prospective wave v aiming materially higher. Is The XRP Bottom In? The key reference band for pullbacks is defined by Fibonacci retracements measured from the latest vertical advance. Hov plots the 0.236 retracement at $2.094, the 0.382 at $1.548, the 0.5 at $1.213, and the 0.618 at $0.950. The price has broken down to the 0.236 neighborhood, probing a turquoise demand box that overlaps the 0.382 ($1.548) on the lower edge. That zone also contains the October 10 liquidity event wick he highlights around $1.58. In his accompanying note, Hov stresses that the last rise from that low has only formed three waves to date, leaving room for “one more small low on the micro before it’s all said and done,” while adding, “I don’t think it takes out the 1.58 low” and that, because of the wick, “we’re likely to see a truncation on this move.” Related Reading: XRP Holds The Line As Bulls Eye $3.40 — Can 20-Month EMA Power Next Breakout? The upside map hinges on two resistance landmarks. First is a boxed supply region overhead that caps out just below a labeled swing marker at “0 (3.41159),” effectively framing $3.41 as the final pivot from the prior leg. More important for confirmation, Hov marks “HTF close above $2.94 is the key.” That $2.94 weekly close is his validation level that would reassert the impulsive trend and unlock a measured extension to his first target. That target is explicit on the chart: the next leg’s objective aligns with the −0.236 extension printed at $5.558. A curved projection path from the current area arcs through the retracement box and then accelerates vertically toward the target, annotated with a circled “V” at the terminal portion of the move and a higher-degree “3” on the scale, consistent with an impulse termination at or near the extension. Related Reading: 84% Of XRP Sell Pressure Comes From Korea As $2 Looms, Analyst Warns Context from the left side of the chart shows how structurally important the base has been. A broad turquoise accumulation band anchored around the $0.43 handle (labeled “1 (0.43128)”) held price throughout 2023–2024, preceding the breakout that staged the current impulse. Above that, a second, higher turquoise band spans the 2021 reaction zone and now acts as the battleground for the present consolidation beneath $3.41. A visible-range profile overlay inside the consolidation rectangle shows the heaviest traded activity toward the left ridge of the range, underscoring why weekly closes above $2.94 would be decisive. Hov’s bottom line on X mirrors the chart. “XRP holding up exceptionally well on this market wide sell off,” he wrote, noting the coin remains “still up 40% off our level (threaded).” While he allows for a final marginal low—without undercutting $1.58—his roadmap retains a “first target” near $5.5, with the caveat that a “HTF close above $2.94 is the key.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.18.

The recent Bitcoin price crash below $100,000 has sparked widespread concern across the crypto market, but major institutional players like JPMorgan remain unshaken. According to reports, JPMorgan analysts have issued a surprisingly bullish outlook for Bitcoin, forecasting a potential surge to $170,000 in the near future. The bullish prediction has caught the attention of the broader crypto market, especially as volatility and liquidations continue to test investor sentiment and push prices down. JPMorgan Maintains Bullish Bitcoin Price Outlook Eric Balchunas, a Senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, recently shared insights from JPMorgan’s analysts, led by Managing Director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, who presents a compelling bullish case for the Bitcoin price. In one of their research notes, the bank’s analysts argue that Bitcoin’s current market value is significantly undervalued compared to gold. They suggest that once leverage conditions normalize, the leading cryptocurrency could climb toward $170,000. Notably, they expect BTC to reach this bullish target within the next 6-12 months, representing a 65.9% increase from its current price level of just over $102,400. Related Reading: New XRP ETF Just Dropped, But Will Anything Be Different This Time? The analysts emphasized that the broader crypto market has already undergone a near 20% correction from previous highs, primarily driven by massive liquidations in perpetual futures contracts. The largest wave was observed on October 10, following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of aggressive tariffs against China, which triggered record liquidations that wiped out billions of dollars in leveraged positions across exchanges—the largest such event in the history of crypto. Leaving the crypto market with no room for a recovery, another devastating liquidation event occurred on November 3, deepening the correction after a $120 million exploit on Market Maker Balancer reignited fears over DeFi protocol security. However, despite this widespread volatility and market downturn, JPMorgan analysts remain bullish on Bitcoin, likely viewing these liquidation events as necessary purges that have flushed out excessive speculation. The analysts believe that perpetual deleveraging has finally come to an end, opening a potential path for more stable institutional accumulation. They suggest that Bitcoin’s value could recover and strengthen considerably from now to October 2026, supporting the bullish projection of a possible rally to a new all-time high. Market Analysts Share Similar Optimistic Predictions Crypto market analyst Sulianto Indria Putra’s latest technical analysis echoes bullish optimism for Bitcoin’s price outlook. He highlights that the cryptocurrency’s weekly chart shows the 50-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) continuing to act as a strong cyclical support level. Each time BTC has touched this EMA in past bull cycles, it has historically rebounded with strong upward momentum. Related Reading: Pundit Highlights Major Move For XRP And RLUSD, Will Price Follow? Based on the analyst’s chart, Bitcoin trades around $102,400, just above the 50-week EMA at approximately $100,900, where price action shows consolidation rather than breakdown. Putra argues that this positioning indicates that the market is forming a higher low within an ongoing bull trend. Despite widespread bearish sentiment and price declines, the analyst maintains that Bitcoin could still rally significantly to $150,000 between late 2025 and early 2026.
