XRP’s tight range trading resolved to the downside, but lower levels are expected to attract buyers.
BNB, the native cryptocurrency of BNB Chain, crossed the $800 level in early Asian trading on Wednesday to set a new all-time high of $801. Related Reading: Too Pricey? Expert Says XRP Beats Bitcoin And Ethereum Right Now The surge came after a 5% increase over the last 24 hours and a 13% gain in the last week, taking BNB’s market capitalization to over $110 billion. Currently, it ranks as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Spike In Volume And Derivatives Trading Volume trading around BNB has increased strongly. According to Coinglass data, daily volume rose over 40% to over $3 billion. Derivatives volume surged 31% to $2.18 billion, while open interest in BNB futures increased 19% to $1.23 billion. These represent an expanding tide of speculation and demand for the asset, perhaps fueled by fresh money flowing into the market. A good deal of this movement seems to be riding on bullish momentum forming around BNB’s recent price action. The token has been in an uptrend for weeks now, and this breakout above its previous highs indicates buyers are remaining bullish, even as there are indications that the market is heating up. Meanwhile, the relative strength index (RSI) is also well into overbought conditions at 87.50. When the RSI crosses above 70, it generally means that a pullback may be imminent. Nevertheless, the uptrend is still in place. BNB is well above its 20-day simple moving average of $704. Price is higher with good volume, and this is a combination that is commonly used to confirm trend strength. Nano Labs Buys $90 Million Worth Of BNB Institutional buying could be propelling the rally. On July 22, China-founded Web3 infrastructure company Nano Labs Ltd announced it had added 120,000 BNB tokens to its holdings—worth around $90 million. According to the company, it bought over-the-counter at an average cost of $707 per BNB. Nano Labs stated that it views BNB as a strategic reserve asset and will continue to add to its holdings. It also stated that it will invest in companies that are dedicated to the BNB ecosystem. Such a long-term commitment brings an element of confidence for retail investors tracking the token’s movements closely. All the hype aside, there are beginning to appear some warning signs. BNB is now trading above the top Bollinger Band, an indication that the token may be getting stretched.

Crypto analyst Xanrox has declared that the Ethereum price is on the brink of recording a parabolic rally to $5,500, a new all-time high (ATH). He also outlined factors that could drive the ETH rally to this target. Ethereum Price Eyes Rally To $5,500 In The Short Term In a TradingView post, Xanrox predicted that the Ethereum price could rally to $5,500 in the short term because banks and states are buying. He also claimed that ETH is part of the USA crypto reserve, which is bullish for the altcoin. Meanwhile, the analyst also alluded to the Ethereum ETFs, as another factor that could drive demand for ETH. Related Reading: Ethereum ATH Above $4,800? Here’s How High It Will Go If 2021 Repeats According to him, these institutional investors count ETH as the future of the crypto industry, which is a positive for the Ethereum price. These institutional investors have recently been warming up to ETH amid optimism that these funds could soon include a staking feature following the SEC’s approval. For the first time last week, these funds beat the Bitcoin ETFs in daily flows. Xanrox is also bullish on the Ethereum price from a technical analysis perspective. He noted that the altcoin is currently inside an ascending channel and breaking out with strong bullish momentum. The analyst also indicated that this was still a good time to buy ETH despite how much it has rallied this month, reaching a six-month high. He claimed that the Ethereum price is somewhere in the middle. As such, those who buy now can get to sell when ETH reaches $5,500. Xanrox added that the $5,500 level is likely where the altcoin will consolidate for a long time before going higher. Interestingly, his accompanying chart showed that Ethereum could even rally to as high as $113,000 at some point. A Demand Shock Is Coming For ETH In an X post, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan declared that a demand shock is coming for ETH, which is why he predicts that the Ethereum price will continue to rally. He noted that the altcoin is up over 50% in the past month and more than 150% since its lows in April, thanks to overwhelming demand from ETFs and corporate treasuries. Related Reading: Ethereum Road To $10,000: Replay Of May’s Playbook Predicts Another Breakout Matt Hougan expects this demand to keep rising. He noted that ETF investors remain significantly underweight in terms of their ETH-to-BTC holdings ratio. The market expert further stated that although ETH’s market cap is about 19% the size of BTC, the Ethereum funds have amassed less than 12% of the assets that the Bitcoin ETFs hold. As such, he expects these investors to allocate more ETH, which is bullish for the Ethereum price. The Bitwise CIO predicted that Ethereum ETFs and treasury companies could purchase up to $20 billion of ETH in the next year, equivalent to 5.33 million ETH at today’s prices. Meanwhile, the Ethereum network is expected to produce around 800,000 ETH over the same period, resulting in demand that is seven times greater than supply. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $3,700, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin remains in a tight consolidation range after setting a new all-time high above $123,000 just 10 days ago. The current range, between $117,000 and $120,000, reflects a pause in momentum as the market digests recent gains and prepares for its next major move. While volatility has cooled, underlying metrics suggest that the broader trend may still have room to run. Related Reading: Tron Outpaces Ethereum In Fee Revenue – TRX Burn Accelerates One key indicator drawing attention is the percentage of supply active in the past 180 days (% Supply Active). This metric has historically surged during major macro turning points. In spring 2024, as BTC approached $70,000, % Supply Active climbed to 20%. It rose again to 18% in December 2024, when Bitcoin first broke through the psychological $100,000 barrier. These spikes reflected long-dormant coins moving out of storage—often interpreted as early signals of broader distribution phases beginning. Currently, the market is showing only initial signs of renewed supply activity, suggesting that we may still be in the early stages of this cycle’s distribution phase. As long-term holders remain relatively inactive and Bitcoin trades near record levels, the stage may be set for further upside if accumulation resumes and new capital enters the market. Supply Activity Signals Early Stage Of Bitcoin Macro Expansion Top analyst Axel Adler recently shared key insights pointing to a potential early phase in Bitcoin’s ongoing macro cycle. According to Adler, supply activity began rising in June 2025 as BTC crossed the $100,000 mark. Over the past 30 days, this metric has climbed from negative territory to +2.4%, signaling the beginning of a shift in holder behavior. While the increase confirms early signs of distribution, it remains modest compared to previous cycle peaks. Historically, major bull markets see this 30-day % Supply Active rise dramatically. Adler highlights that the current pace lags behind prior peaks—like those seen when BTC reached $70,000 in spring 2024 or when it breached $100,000 in December 2024—suggesting that the market still has a considerable buffer before entering a heightened distribution phase. This delayed spike in activity implies that most long-term holders remain committed and are not yet ready to offload their coins. As Bitcoin consolidates near the $120,000 level, this growing yet restrained activity indicates a healthy cycle structure. Adler predicts that if BTC continues to climb and hold above $120,000, the 30-day % Supply Active will likely move into the 8–10% range. Ultimately, it could revisit the 18–20% zone seen at past distribution tops. Related Reading: Ethereum Big-Money Flow Hits 3-Year High With $100B In Weekly Volume BTC Holds Strong Above $115K Amid Consolidation The 12-hour Bitcoin chart reveals a clear consolidation phase following the recent all-time high. BTC is currently trading around $118,267, trapped in a tight range between the $122,077 resistance and the $115,724 support. Despite a minor rejection from the $120K area, the structure remains bullish as long as price holds above the 50 and 100-period SMAs, which are now aligned between $113K and $110K—signaling solid mid-term support. Volume shows decreasing momentum during this consolidation, typical of a healthy pause after a strong breakout. BTC previously surged above $120K on strong volume, but has since failed to establish a new high, instead forming a sideways pattern. This suggests market indecision or accumulation before the next leg. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Metrics Flash Mixed Signals: Monthly Inflows Rise And Daily Outflows Start Slowing A break above $122,000 could trigger the next push toward the $130K level, while a breakdown below $115,724 would open room for a deeper retrace, potentially toward the $113,000 area near the 50-SMA. As long as buyers defend the lower range, the trend remains intact, and a breakout seems likely—especially if macro indicators or on-chain signals support further upside.
