TRON (TRX) has been experiencing muted performance in recent weeks, trading at $0.3389 at the time of writing. This represents a 21.4% decline from its all-time high of $0.4313, recorded late last year. Despite relatively stable price levels in recent days, the lack of upward momentum suggests investors might be carefully watching for a catalyst that could determine the token’s next major move. Amid this market setting, analysts are closely tracking TRON’s on-chain data. One key observation comes from CryptoQuant contributor CryptoOnchain, who examined network activity and resistance levels. According to the analyst, TRX is currently testing its historical resistance zone, a level that could prove decisive in whether the asset pushes toward higher targets or risks another setback. Related Reading: Extreme Greed Grips TRON: Could a Market Pullback Be Next? TRON Network Activity and Potential Breakout CryptoOnchain noted that TRON’s network activity is at record levels, with daily active addresses (DAA) surpassing 2.6 million, the highest figure in its history. This surge in user activity reflects strong underlying demand for the network, even while TRX’s price has struggled to break higher. Historically, such growth in addresses has acted as a fundamental driver for price strength, signaling that demand for TRON’s blockchain services remains resilient. The analyst highlighted that TRX sits just below its historical resistance. If the token were to close above its all-time high and sustain that level, the breakout target could range between $0.48 and $0.52, aligning with TRON’s On-Chain Value Bands metric. However, CryptoOnchain cautioned that this scenario depends heavily on TRON maintaining its active address momentum. A decline in DAA could undermine the bullish setup, exposing TRX to downside risk. The outlook also ties into broader market conditions. The CryptoQuant analyst believes that a potential altseason, a period of significant gains across altcoins, could provide the momentum needed for TRX to achieve a breakout. In this context, continued high network demand and user activity would support further price appreciation. Whale Activity and Stablecoin Dynamics In a separate analysis, CryptoQuant contributor Amr Taha examined stablecoin flows on the TRON network, particularly the activity of large wallets. Data showed that in the past 24 hours, wallets holding over $100 million in USDT dominated TRON’s transaction volume, coinciding with Bitcoin regaining momentum above the $110,000 level. This concentration of large transfers is significant because it often precedes shifts in broader crypto market sentiment. A notable example occurred on August 12, when $100M+ wallets moved approximately $3.9 billion in USDT across the TRON network. That wave of transfers directly coincided with a 5% rally in Bitcoin, highlighting the role of stablecoin liquidity in driving market cycles. Related Reading: TRON Spot Market Signals Relief – Seller Dominance Weakens After Cycle High Taha added that the distribution of daily USDT wallet changes reinforces this trend. Wallets with balances above $100M accounted for nearly 35–36% of total daily activity, a level nearly identical to August’s inflows. Such concentrated whale activity suggests that stablecoin flows on TRON remain a leading indicator for market positioning and potential capital rotations into risk assets like TRX and Bitcoin.

Shiba Inu’s price action in recent days has been largely subdued, and many traders would argue it has had the most disappointing meme performance lately. The price has been range-bound between $0.00001345 and $0.00001190 for much of August, showing low volatility as traders wait for a decisive move. Nonetheless, a new technical analysis suggests that SHIB may be approaching the end of its consolidation cycle. According to analyst Kamran Asghar, the weekly chart is showing signs of preparing for a major expansion phase that could unlock a rally of more than 650%. Shiba Inu’s History Of Explosive Expansions The weekly candlestick timeframe chart shared by Kamran Asghar shows that Shiba Inu has repeatedly followed a cycle of prolonged accumulation phases before launching into massive expansions. Looking back as far as July 2021, SHIB experienced a 1,154% rally after a lengthy consolidation period. Related Reading: Bybit Exchange Unveils Massive Shiba Inu Balances In The Trillions As Price Tanks Interestingly, this pattern repeated again in early 2024 when the price surged by over 501% after another extended accumulation stage. Both cycles were characterized by weeks of sideways action, followed by sudden vertical rallies that took SHIB to new highs in a short span of time. The current setup has strong similarities to these earlier phases. For one, the Shiba Inu has been locked in a tight accumulation range for several months since the beginning of 2025. This accumulation range has been characterized by low volatility between the upper end of $0.000020 and the lower end of $0.000010 for most of the year. Now, given the precedent of the last two breakouts, Shiba Inu’s ongoing consolidation may already be nearing its end. The 650% Expansion To $0.00009 If history repeats, the next move could cause another Shiba Inu price explosion on the weekly candlestick timeframe. According to the analyst’s projection, the massive expansion would see the Shiba Inu price increase by 650%, which would see it reach a target of $0.00009. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Exchange Supply Drops Toward New Lows, What This Means For Price This level coincides with the chart’s projection for a new all-time high, as it would see Shiba Inu break above the peak of $0.00008616 that has held since 2021. The projection is based on measuring past expansions and overlaying an average of the two on the current price structure. Although the projected 650% increase is less than the 1,150% rally witnessed by Shiba Inu in the 2021 rally, the volume needed in this case would be far greater. As such, the most important factor that will determine whether this breakout will occur is demand volume. In both prior expansions, Shiba Inu ’s rallies were caused by sudden surges in demand that pushed the price out of its accumulation box with high conviction. Without this surge in volume liquidity, Shiba Inu’s price action may continue drifting sideways within the consolidation range. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00001236, down by 3.8% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Ethereum has become the backbone of innovation in the digital asset space, serving as the foundation on which nearly every transformative trend in crypto is built. As adoption accelerates and new technologies converge, Ethereum’s role as the essential infrastructure is powering the future of global digital assets. Ethereum As The Digital Asset Operating System Of The Future In the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape, one concept remains clear that every major trend eventually finds its foundation on Ethereum. According to SharpLink Gaming’s post on X, ETH is not just another digital asset, but rather the reserve asset of the on-chain economy, which is a cornerstone that underpins the digital financial system of the future. Related Reading: Ethereum Is Positioned As The Backbone Of AI-Powered Finance, Here’s Why By strategically holding and compounding ETH on behalf of our stockholders, SharpLink is not simply investing in a token, but investing in the future of finance itself. This conviction reflects the company’s belief that Ethereum’s network effects will only strengthen, making ETH the backbone of digital markets for years to come. Being the reserve asset of the on-chain economy, ETH might attract significant usage, which is likely to bolster its price in the near future. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades has revealed that Ethereum recently swept past its 2021 all-time high but faced a rejection. This is a normal occurrence in crypto markets, as all-time high breaks are often messy, involving significant shakeouts. Many traders attempt to position themselves ahead of a breakout, anticipating the next phase of price discovery. However, this move often results in those trading long positions being flushed out, forcing the participants to exit the market in frustration. Daan emphasizes the importance of weekly closes above the prior all-time high. Such closes are critical, as they provide stronger confirmation that a genuine breakout is underway, which signals a sustainable move rather than a temporary spike. Until then, volatility and temporary pullbacks are part of the market’s behavior during price discovery. Accumulation Strategies For Strategic Investors Ethereum may be facing bearish pressure, but Ted has noted that the altcoin is on track to reach $10,000 in this cycle. However, before the surge to that milestone kicks off, a short-term correction may be imminent. Historically, September has often acted as a pause or pullback month in the crypto market, creating ideal opportunities for accumulation. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Breakout Sets Stage For Rally Toward $5,400 – Analyst Ted sees this as a strategic moment for investors to position themselves ahead of a potential major surge in Q4 2025. However, the scenario could shift dramatically if Ethereum experiences a green September. Such strength would signal overwhelming momentum and potentially trigger a series of consecutive bullish moves in the months ahead, with the $10,000 target in sight.

Cathie Wood and Ark Invest bought 339,113 shares of Tom Lee’s $BMNR today pic.twitter.com/G9SQY02rDg — Tom Lee Tracker (@TomLeeTracker) August 28, 2025 Ethereum Strategy Draws Institutional Attention BitMine’s pivot from Bitcoin mining to an Ethereum-focused treasury earlier this summer has transformed the firm into a major corporate player in crypto. Its balance sheet now holds 1,714,000 ETH, worth about $8.20 billion, alongside 192 Bitcoin and $562 million in cash. That makes BitMine the world’s largest corporate holder of Ethereum. Billionaire investor Peter Thiel has also taken a 9% stake, adding more weight to the firm’s rapid rise. According to latest data, the company’s strategy has fueled sharp price movements in its stock. After surging more than 3,000% to a record high of $135 in early July, shares remain up more than 400% year-to-date despite recent pullbacks. Massive Equity Offering Fuels Expansion Reports have disclosed that BitMine dramatically expanded its fundraising plans. On August 12, the company filed to boost its at-the-market equity offering from $2 billion to $24.5 billion, a move led by Cantor Fitzgerald and ThinkEquity. Observers say the new funds will give BitMine more firepower to build its Ethereum position. Analysts projected strong gains for Ethereum, predicting $5,500 in the near term and as high as $12,000 by year-end. If those targets materialize and BitMine pushes toward its 5% supply goal, the company could one day rival Michael Saylor’s Strategy in scale. Related Reading: Dogecoin Gears Up For Triple Surge Vs.

Ethereum is staring down one of its most significant supply risks as more than 1 million ETH, valued at $5 billion, lines up for withdrawal from staking. The unprecedented exit queue has ignited debate over whether the network could face a wave of selling pressure or if the movement marks a rotation of capital within the Ethereum ecosystem. Ethereum Sees Record Validator Exodus Ethereum faces what analysts describe as the largest validator exit events in its Proof of Stake (PoS) history. Blockchain data from ValidatorQueue shows more than 1 million Ether, worth roughly $5 billion, awaiting withdrawal. Notably, validators, who play a central role in securing the network by adding new blocks and verifying transactions, have lined up to withdraw their tokens. This surge in exits has pushed the waiting period to a record of 18 days, as of writing. Related Reading: Ethereum Enters Price Discovery With ATH Breakout, Why $18,000 Is Possible Etherscan also reports that on August 20, Ethereum’s validator exit queue surged past 916,000 ETH, the highest level in over a year. That figure ballooned to more than 1 million in less than two weeks, highlighting the rapid acceleration of withdrawals. At the same time, however, Ethereum’s entry queue also expanded—rising from just 150,000 ETH to over 580,000 ETH—creating a net staking increase of about 200,000 ETH in the past week. The timing of this upcoming withdrawal coincides with Ethereum’s significant price growth, which has seen the cryptocurrency gain more than 72% over the past few months. A substantial share of this pending Ether could be sold as stakers lock in profit after a rally. Moreover, if a large fraction of the $5 billion supply is unloaded on the open market, ETH could experience a sharp wave of sell pressure. However, while headline figures appear alarming, analysts caution against assuming that all withdrawn Ether will be dumped. Crypto market expert Joe Swanson notes that institutional buyers and Ethereum ETFs have been absorbing substantial amounts of ETH, thereby cushioning the potential downside. He argues that although the exit queue suggests short-term turbulence, the cryptocurrency’s long-term trajectory remains bullish, with projections still targeting levels above $5,000. Exits Signal ETH Market Rotation, Not Abandonment ValidatorQueue’s data highlights that while the exit queue surpasses 1 million, the entry queue sits above 726,000. This implies a net staking outflow of over 320,000 ETH, indicating a possible rotation of capital rather than wholesale abandonment. Related Reading: Machine Learning Algorithm Predicts Ethereum Price Will Cross $9,000, Here’s When Supporting this, crypto expert Minal Thukral stressed on X that the spike in the ETH validator queue should not be misinterpreted as a crisis. Thukral noted that Ethereum’s protocol is designed to intentionally rate-limit exits to ensure network stability, meaning congestion may not be the issue. According to the analyst, validator exits are better understood as capital rotations. He explained that large stakers are likely reallocating funds into liquid staking services, restating, or adjusting positions in anticipation of ETFs. At the same time, demand to enter the staking queue remains strong. This interplay between exits and entries paints a picture of a maturing market, with the real question being where the withdrawn ETH will flow next.
