Mantle (MNT) is bucking the broader market downturn, jumping 4% daily and 31% weekly to trade near $2.44 after printing a new all-time high at $2.47 (Oct. 7). Related Reading: Ethereum Faces TD Sell Signal At Key Resistance—$4,100 Next? The catalyst stack is clear: Mantle unveiled a compliance-first Real-World Assets (RWA) “Tokenization-as-a-Service” suite at Token2049, positioning the L2 as one of the few ecosystems building institutional-grade RWA rails. Momentum accelerated as World Liberty Financial confirmed its USD1 stablecoin, currently the #6 stablecoin with $2.6 billion cap, will launch on Mantle, a credibility boost for the network’s DeFi and payments footprint. A deeper “Mantle × Bybit Roadmap” adds distribution as Bybit processes over $30 billion in daily volume, offering Mantle instant visibility to a global trading base. Despite Profit-Taking, Volumes, Futures, and Liquidity Show Real Demand Recently, Spot activity has exploded as daily volume climbed from $125M in early September to over $612 million, while market cap nearly doubled to $7.3 billion, lifting Mantle into the top 35. Derivatives confirm conviction, open interest rose 26% to $4.85 billion, and funding stayed positive for nearly two weeks. On the chart, MNT invalidated a textbook bearish rising-wedge by breaking upward, then stacked short-term MAs above long-term, with a 50/200-day “golden cross” and a bullish MACD backdrop to match the narrative. One yellow flag, “smart money” holdings slid 49% over 30 days to 18.1 million MNT (Nansen), implying selective profit-taking into strength. That doesn’t break the uptrend, but it does argue for disciplined risk management and attention to spot-led versus leverage-led pushes. Key levels: Can Mantle (MNT) Clear $2.60 and Open a Path to $3? Technically, MNT’s structure remains constructive. Immediate support sits near $2.00–$2.10 (watch the $2.09 gap); holding above keeps the higher-low sequence intact. Overhead, $2.60 is the next inflection and a psychological line in the sand; a high-volume daily close above $2.60 would set up a measured move toward $2.85–$3.00. MNT's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: MNTUSD on Tradingview Failure to reclaim $2.60 on rising volume raises the odds of a reset into the $2.20s, where bulls will try to defend momentum against the backdrop of a softer crypto tape. Why it matters: RWAs are moving from narrative to implementation, and Mantle has planted a flag with compliance tooling, stablecoin depth (USD1), and CEX–L2 integration. Related Reading: The Historical Performance That Says Dogecoin Price Will Hit $11.71 By End Of Year In a week where majors wobbled, MNT’s breakout underscores where capital is rotating: networks shipping product-market fit, liquidity on-ramps, and institutional-friendly primitives.

The XRP community has been called to attention after a new analysis linked the cryptocurrency’s trajectory to a powerful market force that many have overlooked. A recent breakdown by crypto analyst Austin Hilton has spotlighted a direct connection between XRP and Bitcoin that could shape how investors position themselves ahead of what could be one of the most explosive altcoin runs in years. How Bitcoin’s Performance Could Dictate XRP’s Next Move Hilton shared a video analysis on X social media, discussing a simple yet powerful correlation that shows the Bitcoin price action tends to influence the direction of XRP. At the time of his analysis, XRP was trading around $3, posting a 1.65% increase, while the total crypto market capitalization stood at approximately $4.21 trillion, up by 1.3%. Related Reading: XRP Flips Green For First Time Since 2017, Pundit Predicts 500% Rally Within this massive market, Bitcoin alone accounted for approximately $2.45 trillion, which represents 58% of the entire cryptocurrency market cap. Hilton noted that this overwhelming dominance positions BTC as the central gravity point of the crypto ecosystem. According to him, when the Bitcoin price rises, XRP typically follows, and when it falls, XRP tends to move in the same direction. He stated that the reason lies in the market’s capital structure. Bitcoin remains the most recognizable digital asset, boasting the strongest institutional and retail liquidity. Its price movements influence how capital flows into other major cryptocurrencies, particularly XRP, which has consistently held the third-largest market capitalization position. Adding significant weight to Hilton’s analysis is the growing involvement of major financial institutions in the crypto market. Both JP Morgan and Citigroup recently made public forecasts, projecting that Bitcoin could rise to between $133,000 and over $200,000 by the end of the year. This represents a dramatic reversal from JP Morgan’s position a year ago, when its CEO, Jamie Dimon, dismissed BTC as a “ponzie scheme,” even as the bank was quietly investing in the cryptocurrency and its ETF. Hilton has stated that these institutional endorsements point to a potential historic bull run in the making. Additionally, because XRP is so tightly correlated with Bitcoin’s performance, a surge to $200,000 could ignite a strong upward momentum. Liquidity Flow To Push XRP Price Beyond $20 In his video analysis, Hilton emphasized that understanding liquidity flows in crypto is crucial for XRP holders. Bitcoin, as the dominant asset, attracts the bulk of new capital entering the market. Once that liquidity flows into BTC, it naturally shifts into other top assets, such as Ethereum and XRP. Related Reading: Analyst Warns That No Matter What Direction XRP Price Takes, The End Result Is Still The Same With ETH’s market cap at roughly $546 billion and XRP at $179 billion, Hilton notes that XRP sits in a prime position to benefit directly from this capital movement. As a result, if Bitcoin jumps to $200,000 in Q4, the analyst predicts that XRP could surge to $10-$20 or more by year-end. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin faced a swift correction below the $125,000 level after reaching a new all-time high of $126,200 on Monday, triggering widespread volatility across the market. The price retraced over 4% to around $120,000, liquidating millions in leveraged positions as traders anticipated further upside. The move caught many off guard, especially after days of strong momentum and renewed optimism that Bitcoin was preparing to enter another price discovery phase. Related Reading: Grayscale Stakes 32,000 Ethereum Worth $150 Million – Institutional Demand Grows Despite the pullback, key on-chain data reveals a contrasting trend beneath the surface — a massive accumulation by US investors. Analysts note that while short-term traders faced liquidations, spot demand from US-based buyers continues to grow, particularly through regulated platforms and ETFs. This steady inflow of capital provides a strong foundation for long-term market strength, even amid short-term volatility. The correction may have flushed out excessive leverage, resetting market conditions for a healthier continuation. As Bitcoin consolidates around the $120,000–$122,000 range, analysts are watching closely to see whether institutional accumulation can offset the selling pressure. For now, the broader trend remains bullish, with growing evidence that US investors are using every dip to increase exposure to the world’s leading digital asset. US Demand Surges As Coinbase Premium Gap Signals Accumulation Top onchain analyst Maartunn shared new data revealing a sharp increase in US-based Bitcoin accumulation, driven largely by activity on Coinbase, one of the most influential exchanges for institutional and retail investors in the United States. According to his insights, the Coinbase Premium Gap — which measures the price difference of Bitcoin between Coinbase and other global exchanges — has surged to its second-highest level since the ETF launch earlier this year. This spike signals an aggressive buying spree from US investors, suggesting strong spot demand that is outpacing global averages. Historically, similar jumps in the Coinbase Premium Gap have coincided with phases of major market expansion, often preceding new highs as US capital flows into Bitcoin-led rallies. The data indicates that US traders are willing to pay a higher premium compared to their counterparts on platforms like Binance or OKX — a clear expression of localized demand. Analysts interpret this as a bullish signal in the context of Bitcoin’s current consolidation near all-time highs. After a brief correction from $126,000 to $120,000, strong institutional interest could provide the liquidity needed for a new breakout. Many market watchers believe that such robust accumulation is rarely random; it often precedes a significant expansive move, as buyers position themselves before another upward leg. If this buying pressure sustains, Bitcoin could soon reclaim its highs and enter a new phase of price discovery. Combined with growing ETF inflows and steady US accumulation trends, Maartunn’s data reinforces the narrative that the market’s next major impulse may once again be led by US demand — the same catalyst that ignited Bitcoin’s previous all-time high breakout earlier this year. Related Reading: Ondo Secures SEC-Registered Infrastructure With Oasis Pro Acquisition Bitcoin Consolidates After Sharp Rally Bitcoin is currently trading around $122,500, showing signs of stabilization after the recent surge to an all-time high near $126,000 earlier this week. The chart highlights a healthy pullback from the highs, with BTC finding support just above the $120,000 level — a zone that previously acted as resistance and has now turned into a short-term support range. The 8-day and 21-day moving averages are trending upward, confirming the continuation of a bullish structure. Meanwhile, the 50-day moving average remains below the price, indicating that momentum still favors the bulls despite short-term volatility. If Bitcoin manages to hold above the $120,000–$121,000 region, the setup could attract renewed buying pressure for another attempt to break above the $125,000 resistance. Related Reading: TRX Repeats Its 2021 Setup: Volume Cooldown Signals Smart Money Accumulation However, failure to maintain these levels could open the door for a retest of the $117,500 area, where the next major support lies. This would still be within a healthy correction range following the recent 15% rally. Overall, Bitcoin’s structure remains bullish, with strong higher lows forming and institutional demand — led by Coinbase inflows — continuing to support the market. A decisive move above $125,000 could signal the beginning of a new price discovery phase. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

According to Santiment, XRP is seeing its highest level of retail fear, uncertainty and doubt in six months. That surge in negativity is being read by some analysts as a contrarian signal — fear on the street could come just before a turnaround. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Nears $3B As CEO Sees $10B ETF Inflows Ahead While traders grumble, on-chain data shows crowd mood tipping toward worry, and Santiment points out that when retail panic grows, markets have a habit of moving in the opposite direction. Retail Fear Hits Six-Month High Based on reports from the blockchain analytics firm, the bullish-to-bearish ratio reached 3.21 on Sept. 17 during a wave of euphoria, then fell to 0.74 on Oct. 4 as frustration rose. The ratio moved slightly to 0.86 on Oct. 6. Over the last three days tracked, bearish commentary outweighed bullish views for two days, which Santiment interprets as a possible bottom signal. Traders should note that these mood swings are being measured by crowd talk, and when optimism climbed too high earlier, that was flagged as a reliable top signal. ???? XRP is seeing it’s highest level of retail FUD since Trump’s tariffs were announced 6 months ago. There have been more bearish comments than bullish for 2 of the past 3 days, which is generally a promising buy signal. Markets move opposite to small trader expectations. pic.twitter.com/flO7jjlo9m — Santiment (@santimentfeed) October 7, 2025 Technical Levels To Watch Reports have disclosed key price points that traders are watching closely. XRP is trading at $2.85 and still has not cleared the $3 barrier that it reached briefly in the past few weeks. Support is placed around $2.60–$2.80, and analyst CryptoInsightUK says the $2.72 to $2.75 zone remains a major structural level. Holding above that range shows buyers have stepped in repeatedly since the rally from $0.50, the analyst added. Breaks above $3.17 and $3.65 would be seen by some as confirmation of stronger upside momentum. Analysts Expect A Possible Breakout Based on technical notes from CryptoInsightUK, a move following the 4.236 Fibonacci extension could reach $6.90, with a larger wave potentially taking prices toward $8–$12. Meanwhile, professor Astrones has also identified a bullish structure on charts, calling the setup “pumpy” and pointing to a narrowing range that could break higher. $XRP This one is pumpy First target 5$ pic.twitter.com/LzDFTJVHy5 — ProfessorAstrones (@Astrones2) October 6, 2025 Related Reading: Bitcoin Just Did It — New Record High Above $125,000 This ‘Uptober’ Patterns like a descending triangle can break either way, so traders are watching for a clear close above the stated targets. In the broader market, Bitcoin has shot to a new high above $126,000, and Ethereum has climbed to within 4% of its record peak. Yet XRP has struggled to push past $3. That contrast has left some investors scratching their heads. At the same time, XRP has not fallen below $2.60 since the breakout that took it to $3.66 in July, which supports the view that buying interest exists underneath current levels. For now, data and sentiment point toward a possible setup where fear fades before prices rise. Featured image from Fingerlakes1.com, chart from TradingView
