XRP has been declining over the past few days, making a retest of this Descending Triangle’s lower boundary possible, according to an analyst. XRP Has Been Moving Inside A Descending Triangle Recently In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about where XRP may be heading next, based on a Descending Triangle. This technical analysis (TA) pattern forms when an asset’s price witnesses consolidation between two converging trendlines. The main feature of the pattern is that its lower trendline is parallel to the time-axis. This level acts as a support boundary, while the upper level, which is slopped downward, provides resistance to the price. Thus, as the asset trades inside a Descending Triangle, its range shrinks to a downside. Related Reading: Bitcoin & Altcoin OI Forming Same Warning Setup As Dec 2024, Analyst Says A break out of either of the trendlines can imply a continuation of trend in that direction. This means that a surge above the triangle can be a bullish signal, while a decline under it a bearish one. Like the Descending Triangle, there is also the Ascending Triangle in TA, which works similarly, except for the fact that the orientation of the trendlines is flipped; the upper line is the one parallel to the time-axis instead. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the Descending Triangle that the 1-day price of XRP has been stuck inside for the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, XRP made a retest of the Descending Triangle’s upper trendline earlier in the month, but it was unable to break past the resistance. The coin has since been on the way down and has traveled roughly halfway through the distance between the trendlines. “It looks like XRP is heading for a retest of the triangle’s bottom at $2.72,” notes Martinez. From the current exchange rate of the asset, a fall to this target would imply a loss of almost 7%. From the chart, another development related to the cryptocurrency is also visible: its price is slowly inching toward the apex of the triangle. Generally, breakouts become more likely to occur the closer the asset gets to the end of the channel. This is because the range gets progressively tighter over the course of a triangle.

It only remains to be seen, though, which level XRP will retest next. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $0.292, down 3% over the last seven days.

As Bitcoin (BTC) takes a brief breather after creating a new all-time high (ATH) above $125,000, on-chain data shows that three key indicators played a major role in the digital asset’s latest rally to new highs. These Three Indicators Suggest More Room For Bitcoin According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor Arab Chain, fresh data from Binance suggests that BTC is witnessing one of its most significant buying phases since mid-year. Notably, BTC’s price has surged from around $117,000 to $124,000 since the beginning of October. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s On-Chain Roadmap Shows $111,000 – $143,000 As The Range To Watch Arab Chain emphasized three key indicators that suggest the return of whales into the Bitcoin market. First, the net buying pressure (vol_delta) surged past $500 million on some days, indicating that buying pressure outweighed selling pressure from this amount. Similarly, the imbalance ratio (imbalance_pct) recently hit a high of 0.23, suggesting that BTC buy orders on Binance were roughly 23% higher than sell orders. Higher buy orders than sell orders usually indicate strong demand and potential upward pressure on the asset’s price. Finally, the Z-score recorded a value of 0.79, reflecting above-average buying activity. For the uninitiated, a Z-score measures how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean. The CryptoQuant analyst remarked that these indicators confirm that institutional buyers and whales have returned to the Bitcoin market in force. Arab Chain added: This activity coincides with a clear increase in daily trading volumes, which have reached their highest levels since last July, suggesting that the rally is being supported by real liquidity rather than temporary speculation. Recent trading sessions have shown a few of these indicators – especially vol_delta – slightly declining in value, and temporarily moving to negative territory. That said, the broader indicators still favor a continued upward trend for the top cryptocurrency. Notably, the average daily volatility has remained low, confirming strong market confidence and stable demand. This is in stark contrast to the market behavior shown in September, when BTC was struggling in the $100,000 range. To conclude, both technical and behavioral indicators support BTC’s continued rise to $125,000 – $130,000 in the near term. Unless a strong wave of sell-off emerges, any price correction should be viewed as an opportunity to accumulate BTC, Arab Chain noted. What’s Next For BTC? While it is typically a challenge to predict BTC’s future, some analysts are not shying away from giving predictions about the flagship digital asset’s upcoming price trajectory. For instance, BTC’s pricing bands suggest a move toward $140,000 is likely.

The cryptocurrency landscape is witnessing a remarkable shift, with the BNB price emerging as a standout performer among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Over the past week, Binance Coin has surged by 30%, propelling its price to a new all-time high just shy of $1,350. This latest rally translates to a major 600% increase from its last bear market lows. Binance Coin Becomes Third-Largest Cryptocurrency The recent momentum has been particularly noteworthy, as the BNB price eyes to turn the $1,300 mark as its new support for further upside movements, retracing only 2% from its peak after its record-breaking rally on Tuesday. This minimal pullback signals a lack of sustained selling pressure and suggests that further upside potential remains on the horizon. If this trend continues, analysts are eyeing new price targets for BNB. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reaches Forecasted All-Time High: Prophecy Predicts Bear Market Low In 364 Days The uptrend has also witnessed BNB surpass both XRP and Tether’s USDT, reclaiming its status as the third-largest cryptocurrency, trailing only behind Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC). This has been in part, attributed to CEA Industries Inc., which recently announced it has acquired over $600 million worth of BNB, holding 480,000 tokens at an average cost of $860 each. CEA’s ambition to become a major player in the BNB ecosystem, is also highlighted on its roadmap with plans to own 1% of the total Binance Coin supply by the end of the year. David Namdar, CEO of CEA Industries, commented on the recent surge, stating, “BNB’s all-time highs are a clear validation that the global markets are waking up to the inherent value, credibility, scale, and utility of both the asset and underlying ecosystem.” The company’s CEO further emphasized that Binance Coin should be viewed not merely as a token, but as a central component of a “highly integrated network.” BNB Price Eyes Fibonacci Targets Of $1,486 And $1,983 Market expert Lark Davis has also added to the growing bullish sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency’s rally on social media site X (formerly Twitter), noting that BNB is now firmly in price discovery mode, which could lead to further significant gains as the anticipated demand continues to grow. Related Reading: XRP Price Under Pressure: These Key Levels Hold The Fate Of A New Record Or A Drop Below $2 According to the expert’s analysis, the next major Fibonacci targets for the BNB price are set at $1,486 for the 2.618 level and $1,983 for the 3.618 level, indicating a strong possibility for continued upward momentum. This implies that if this scenario plays out, the coming days of months could see additional increases for the BNB price of 14% and a major 52% in the case of breaching $1,900.
