Solana (SOL) has emerged as a major headliner following an impressive 20.89% gain over the last week. Solana’s price now sits comfortably within the $240 price range and is only 18.05% away from its present all-time high at $294. Interestingly, renowned market expert Ali Martinez has noted a positive effect of SOL’s recent price surge, which points to a sustained price rally. Related Reading: Analyst Sets Bold $1,314 Target For Solana After Cup-And-Handle Breakout SOL Surges Above Key $205 Resistance: Fibonacci Levels Point Toward $362 In an X post on September 13, Martinez shares an in-depth technical analysis of the Solana price structure, which shows significant potential for a prolonged uptrend. Notably, SOL’s price gain from last week resulted in a breakout from a key ascending triangle formation, signaling strong bullish momentum that projects to higher mid-term targets. Looking at the chart below, the latest price surge effectively lifted Solana above the multi-month resistance zone near $205, where price had consolidated between April and August. It is clearly observed that breaking above this resistance, combined with the sustained higher lows that formed the ascending triangle, points to a classic bullish continuation pattern. Notably, the introduction of the Fibonacci extension levels provides more insight into the bullish potential of this recent breakout. The immediate price target presently lies at the 1.272 Fibonacci extension around $250, followed by the 1.414 extension near $277. However, if momentum continues, Solana could reach further upside levels, around $321 (1.618 extension) and the ultimate mid-term target at $362, which corresponds with the 1.786 extension. On the downside, the $205 breakout zone now serves as critical support. Holding above this level is crucial to maintaining the bullish outlook, as a decisive break below it could open the door for a retest of lower Fibonacci retracement zones, particularly around $176 or $156. However, the rising trendline that has supported price action since April adds another layer of structural support for bulls. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flips Key Support, Bulls Now Target $117,000 Solana Price Outlook At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $246, reflecting a modest 1.67% gain over the past 24 hours. However, trading volume has declined sharply by 27.53%, currently standing at $7.49 billion. According to analysts at Coincodex, investor sentiment toward Solana remains broadly bullish, even as the Greed & Fear Index sits at a neutral 52. Their short-term outlook suggests limited price movement, with the asset projected to remain around $247 for the next month. Looking further ahead, analysts expect Solana to climb to $264 over the next three months, highlighting steady but moderate growth expectations. Nevertheless, with a market cap of $131.65 billion, Solana continues to rank as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency in the world. Featured image from Forbes, chart from Tradingview

According to veteran trader Peter Brandt, Dogecoin’s price has pushed back above the $0.3 mark, a level that traders watched closely this week. Related Reading: Dogecoin Defies Odds, Jumps 21% Even As ETF Debut Gets Pushed Back TradingView data shows an 11% rise in a session that sent the coin to a multi-month high, and the move has drawn fresh attention ahead of the first spot DOGE ETF. Volume is high and many eyes are now on how long buyers can hold gains. Meme Coin Retakes A Key Level Based on reports, the rebound came even after the planned ETF launch was delayed. Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart said the REX-Osprey fund has been pushed to next week and will hold spot DOGE among other assets. That structure could allow some institutional money to get exposure without direct custody of all holdings themselves. Huge breakthrough for $DOGE pic.twitter.com/gpK71OSjNH — Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) September 13, 2025 Analysts Set Stretch Targets Crypto analysts have offered a range of upside scenarios. Javon Marks put a breakout target at $0.6533, which would be more than 100% above current prices and sit below the all-time high of $0.73. Shorter-term levels mentioned by traders include resistance near $0.26 and a next target around $0.45. Price action shows five green sessions out of the last six and a tight range forming between the 200-day EMA and that resistance zone, signs that buying pressure has increased in the near term. Update Part 3: Another delay. Launching next week. Mid week. Prob Thur. https://t.co/Lzk2pCVo0E — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) September 11, 2025 Whales, Volume And Technical Signals Reports have highlighted strong whale buys at current levels. The token briefly rose to about $0.2840, its highest reading since July 21, and 24-hour volume has climbed above $5 billion. The monthly RSI recently posted a positive crossover, a technical hint some traders call bullish. Still, many warn that a firm monthly close will be needed to confirm a longer trend change and that quick swings remain possible. Market Context And What Comes Next A clean move above $0.26 is being watched as a confirmation point by several traders. If that level gives way, momentum could carry prices to $0.45 and then to $0.80 under a sustained buying wave. The ETF timing matters: calendar shifts like the recent delay can nudge sentiment, but the rally has continued even without the fund listing, suggesting other buyers are already positioning ahead of any formal launch. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Out With A 32% Surge: Time To Buy Or Too Late To Chase? Nowhere But Up Dogecoin’s reclaim of $0.3 marks a clear shift from recent weakness and signals renewed upside potential if buyers hold key supports. Reports of whale accumulation, a surge in 24-hour volume above $5 billion, and technical moves such as the monthly RSI crossover all add to a bullish case, while the delayed REX-Osprey ETF launch keeps some uncertainty in play. Peter Brandt called the move a “huge breakthrough”, a phrase that captures why traders are watching the monthly close and whether the coin can press toward targets like $0.6533 and levels near its $0.73 ATH.

The steady appreciation in the Ethereum price continues to mirror how resilient the cryptocurrency has become in the market. Despite the waves of skepticism experienced in the past, there seems to have been a recent major shift in investor behavior, which shows a level of optimism in the potential growth of the Ether token. Ethereum Netflow Across Exchanges Consistently Negative In a September 13 post on social media platform X, on-chain analyst Darkfost revealed how Ethereum’s investors have been acting behind the scenes over the past few months. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Out With A 32% Surge: Time To Buy Or Too Late To Chase? According to Darkfost, there has been a major shift in investor behavior since Ethereum’s last price drop from $4,000 to $1,500. At the time, the prevailing investor mood was fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) — emotions which did not play so much of a role in affecting the long-term activity of investors. Darkfost reported that the netflow across all exchanges has been “consistently negative” since the major Ethereum price drop; this means that more ETH is leaving exchanges than they are being deposited. According to the on-chain analyst, around 56,000 ETH is being withdrawn daily over an average of 30 days. Interestingly, this figure has not been seen since the depths of the last bear market. Recently, there have been days when more than 400,000 ETH were withdrawn. What is more interesting is that the exchange netflows have not turned positive since July. As earlier inferred, this trend of token movement represents a shift in the holding behavior of Ethereum investors, as they move their assets off trading platforms to non-custodial wallets for long-term storage. Ultimately, this suggests that holders are becoming increasingly confident in the ETH’s long-term promise. As of this writing, the Ether token is valued at around $4,660, reflecting no significant price change in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the price of Ethereum has increased by almost 10% in the past seven days. BTC And ETH Reserves Drop 23% And 20% Respectively In a separate post, Darkfost analyzed the Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange Reserve metrics across all exchanges and estimated how much of these cryptocurrencies have left exchanges in 2025. According to the online pundit, Bitcoin reserves across all exchanges have dropped by almost a quarter of their total holdings since the year’s beginning. The BTC exchange reserves have dipped by 23% to about 2.47 million BTC from 3.05 million BTC as of January 1, 2025. Related Reading: Bitcoin Climbs Past $115,000 on Inflation Relief and ETF Flows, But Bearish Signals Loom Ethereum exchange reserves, on the other hand, did not immediately start to decline until the month of May. As mentioned in the earlier post, ETH supply on exchanges began to fall following a reversal triggered by its fall to below $1,500. Over the last four months, Ethereum reserves have fallen to 17.1 million from 20.6 million, representing a 20% decline. A significant decline in exchange reserves is often interpreted as a sign of accumulation among investors. This trend could be a bullish catalyst for the two largest cryptocurrencies, especially Ethereum, considering that the coin movement started more recently.

The price of Bitcoin has struggled to capitalize on its recent bullish momentum, oscillating in and around the $116,000 level so far this weekend. This choppy price action has raised doubts about the flagship cryptocurrency’s potential to resume its bull run and reach a new all-time high price. A crypto expert on social media platform X has come forward with an interesting outlook for the Bitcoin price, stating that the market leader could be gearing up for its next explosive move. However, the on-chain analyst added that a certain condition must be met for BTC to resume its uptrend. A Break Above $118,000 Could Precede Price Explosion: Analyst In a September 13 post on X, Alphractal founder and CEO Joao Wedson revealed that the price of Bitcoin could be preparing for an extended rally over the next few weeks. The on-chain data expert shared that the premier cryptocurrency will need a convincing break above the $118,000 level to confirm the resumption of the bull run. Related Reading: Analyst Sets Bold $1,314 Target For Solana After Cup-And-Handle Breakout Wedson noted in his post that $117,000 is actually the price mark to watch out for, as it represents a zone of strong interest and indecision. Specifically, two on-chain indicators—the CVDD Channel and the Fibonacci-Adjusted Market Mean Price—have designated this price level as a point where the market is likely to slow down or form a local top. According to analytics platform Alphractal, the CVDD Channel is a metric that estimates historical price floors and risk zones based on the coin destruction data and Fibonacci envelopes. Meanwhile, the Fibonacci-Adjusted Market Mean Price combines the market mean price with Fibonacci bands to identify structural expansion and value zones. Wedson highlighted that both the CVDD Channel and the Fibonacci-Adjusted Market Mean Price have revealed “eerily accurate levels” of support and resistance throughout Bitcoin’s price history. Currently, these metrics are pointing to $117,000 as a level that could provide resistance to the upward movement of the Bitcoin price. In the end, Wedson concluded that this zone could be critical to the market leader’s next move to the upside. However, the Alphractal founder advised Bitcoin investors to wait for a clear, sustained breakout above $118,000 to confirm that bullish momentum is back. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $115,905, reflecting no significant change in the past 24 hours.

In a recent post on X, crypto analyst CRYPTOWZRD shared a bullish daily technical outlook for Ethereum (ETH), highlighting a strong close that suggests further upward movement is likely. The analyst’s primary expectation is for more gains to follow as the ETH/BTC pair begins to surge. This key relationship is a central focus for the analyst, as a strong performance from Ethereum against BTC often signals a broader bullish period for ETH itself. ETH And ETHBTC Daily Candles Flash Strong Bullish Close Giving a detailed market update, CRYPTOWZRD highlighted that both Ethereum’s daily candle and the ETHBTC pair closed strongly bullish. ETHBTC’s surge occurred as Bitcoin’s dominance weakened, providing altcoins with room to build momentum. This shift marked a significant move for Ethereum, reflecting renewed strength in the broader market structure. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) On The Brink Of A Major Supply Crisis: What It Means For Investors According to his analysis, ETHBTC successfully broke out of its daily falling wedge pattern, a move that often signals the start of a bullish reversal. Ethereum mirrored this strength, pushing higher alongside the breakout, which further reinforced optimism among traders who have been watching closely for signs of sustained upside momentum. Examining key levels, CRYPTOWZRD highlighted that $5,000 remains the primary daily resistance for Ethereum. A decisive break above this threshold could ignite an impulsive rally, potentially driving ETH toward the $5,780 resistance zone or even higher. On the downside, $4,000 is seen as the critical daily support, providing a safety net for bulls should price action cool off in the short term. Despite the strong outlook, he noted that his primary focus will stay on the lower time frame chart formations for tomorrow, as these provide opportunities for quick scalps and short-term trades. However, with the weekend approaching, CRYPTOWZRD is maintaining a rational stance. Volatility Offers Both Risk And Opportunity In The Current Setup Crypto analyst CRYPTOWZRD has stated that the intraday chart for Ethereum is showing significant volatility, with more expected in the near term. This high level of fluctuation is something he is prepared for and is a normal part of the market as it searches for a new direction. Related Reading: Ethereum Bulls on the Back Foot – Can Momentum Return Soon? In the meantime, CRYPTOWZRD has outlined two potential scenarios. If BTC’s price pulls back toward the $4,500 level, it will then show a clear bullish reversal. Another scenario would be if Ethereum holds strong and breaks above the $4,765 resistance, it would signal a new upward leg. Ultimately, the analyst advises exercising patience and waiting for the market to present a clear, healthy trade setup. This cautious approach acknowledges the current volatility, and the market’s next move will dictate the next best opportunity. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Dogecoin’s price action over the past week has seen it trending upwards. This movement has seen the meme cryptocurrency make a push towards the upper end of a consolidation range in the daily candlestick timeframe chart. A recent analysis shared on TradingView by The_Alchemist_Trader points to a possible shift in momentum, as Dogecoin is retesting its point of control with a bullish reaction that might push it to $0.35 in the short term and as high as $0.6 in the long term. Related Reading: Dogecoin Defies Odds, Jumps 21% Even As ETF Debut Gets Pushed Back Dogecoin Retesting Point Of Control According to the analysis, Dogecoin is currently testing its point of control, a high-volume resistance area that has defined much of its trading structure in recent months. This price action goes as far back as February with well-defined upper and lower trendlines. Interestingly, price action volume in the past 48 hours shows that buyers are stepping in aggressively at the mid-level of this range, which is around $0.25. This is very important, and a daily close above the point of control with strong volume would translate from range-bound movement to a defined upward rally. This bullish reaction comes after Dogecoin bounced at $0.2 last week, a move that created a solid foundation for another leg upward. Now, according to the analyst, the next thing is for Dogecoin to make a close basis above its point of control resistance. Roadmap To $0.35 Through Fibonacci Levels Fibonacci extension levels have served as reliable indicators of profit-taking and continuation levels for Dogecoin in the current cycles. As such, many analysts are fond of pointing to price targets at notable Fib levels. In this case, the analyst noted that a successful breakout above the point of control at $0.25 opens the path toward the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. This level, which is positioned around $0.35, stands out as the primary upside target in the current setup. The chart below shows a projected rally pattern for this breakout with a clear roadmap drawn to the 0.618 Fibonacci extension level. This also includes extensions to the $0.36 price level at the 0.66 Fib extension and the $0.4 price level at the 0.786 Fib extension if the momentum continues. A move toward $0.35 would represent not just a technical price target but also a strong confirmation that Dogecoin has reestablished bullish dominance above its consolidation range since February. From here, Dogecoin could start holding up above $0.3 again. Related Reading: ETF Dreams For Dogecoin: Serious Possibility Or Just Hype? Dogecoin’s short-term movement is now tilted to the upside, provided the price continues to close above the point of control with strong participation from buyers. Volume is the most important thing here, as a breakout without sufficient backing could result in a false move and cause Dogecoin to return to range trading. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is about to break above the upper trendline of its multi-month range. Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.2874, up by 12.6% and 33% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from TradingView
