It’s been a wild 24 hours for Sui, where we’ve witnessed one of the fastest and most dramatic moves in the crypto market this year. As someone well-versed in crypto trading, the idea of a token nosediving nearly 87% in mere minutes is nerve-wracking. On October 10, the SUI price crashed from $3.80 to just …
Bitcoin and the general crypto market have witnessed another significant downturn this year, with prices falling by double digits in the late hours of Friday, October 10. This bearish pressure started when rumors of a trade war between the United States and China emerged in the early hours of Friday. The downward pressure intensified after US President Donald Trump declared that the US would impose a 100% tariff on Chinese goods. As a result of this announcement, over $5.5 billion was liquidated from the crypto market in less than an hour, with the Bitcoin price briefly falling to as low as $101,500. Is This BTC Whale Linked To The US Government? In a recent post on X, on-chain analyst Maartunn highlighted a specific Satoshi-era Bitcoin investor who might have expected this downturn way before it happened. A look at the trader’s market moves suggests that the large BTC holder almost always knows something the market doesn’t. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Are Back: Three Indicators Suggest A Run Toward $130,000 While the price of Bitcoin steadily dropped towards $117,00 during the day, blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that this Bitcoin OG kept piling up their short positions up to $1.1 billion. Following the BTC crash below $110,000, this large investor made a profit of over $160 million, leading to speculations about them having insider information. Maartunn went further to highlight the large holder’s activities in the past few months. According to the analyst’s post on the social media platform X, this Bitcoin OG started selling part of their 86,000 Satoshi-era BTC stash when prices peaked around August 2025. Similarly, the BTC whale took to shaving off their holdings again when the Bitcoin price ran up to new highs in early October. What’s more interesting is that the Satoshi-era investor soon opened leveraged short positions on both Bitcoin and Ethereum on the Hyperliquid platform. Maartunn thought that the timing of these trades might be interesting, especially as the general crypto market soon witnessed a downturn due to President Trump’s tariff announcement. The on-chain analyst then concluded that the “Satoshi-era OG have insider ties to the US government.” Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $113,250, recovering swiftly from the plunge to around $101,500. However, the premier cryptocurrency is still down by nearly 7% in the past 24 hours.

A consortium of major banks, including Bank of America, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and UBS, announced on Friday that they will collaborate to explore the development of stablecoins pegged to G7 currencies. A New Era For Crypto In Mainstream Finance The renewed interest in stablecoins comes in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s endorsement of the sector, which has reignited discussions about integrating blockchain technology into mainstream finance. Currently, the stablecoin market is heavily dominated by Tether (USDT), based in El Salvador, which accounts for approximately $179 billion of the total $310 billion in stablecoins circulating, according to data from CoinGecko. The banks involved in this new initiative, which also includes Santander, Barclays, BNP Paribas, MUFG, TD Bank Group, and others, have stated that the goal is to assess whether a collaborative industry offering could enhance competition and bring the benefits of digital assets to the market, all while ensuring compliance.

Analyst Charts Path To $0.60 Notably, France’s Societe Generale recently became the first major bank to issue a dollar-backed stablecoin through its digital asset subsidiary, although it has seen limited adoption, with only $30.6 million currently in circulation. In addition to this consortium, a separate group of nine European banks, including prominent names like ING and UniCredit, is also in the process of launching a euro-denominated stablecoin. Meanwhile, Citi has made strides in the stablecoin space by investing in BVNK, a company focused on stablecoin infrastructure. Demand For Stablecoin Solutions Grows Although Citi has not disclosed the amount of its investment, the co-founder of BVNK, Chris Harmse, told during an interview with CNBC, that the company’s valuation has surpassed $750 million, as reported in its latest funding round. Harmse remarked on the increasing demand for stablecoin infrastructure, particularly with the emergence of regulatory clarity through the passage of the GENIUS Act in the US. This has prompted major US banks to strategically position themselves in the crypto ecosystem. Citi’s CEO, Jane Fraser, has indicated that the bank is contemplating the issuance of its own stablecoin while also exploring custodian services for digital assets. However, Citi is not alone in its pursuit of digital asset integration; JPMorgan Chase has already launched its own stablecoin-like token, JPMD.

Following a new all-time high (ATH) of $126,199 on Binance, Bitcoin (BTC) is now consolidating in the low $120,000 range. Latest exchange data – such as Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Confirmation Score – suggests that BTC is benefitting from strong underlying demand. CVD Confirmation Shows Strong Demand For Bitcoin According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor Arab Chain, Bitcoin’s CVD Confirmation Score – a 30-day rolling correlation between Bitcoin’s price and the CVD – is suggesting a strong resynchronization of the trend. Related Reading: Bitcoin Decouples From Miner Flows With -0.15 Correlation – What It Means For Price? For the uninitiated, the CVD Confirmation Score measures the 30-day correlation between Bitcoin’s price and the CVD, which tracks the net difference between taker buy and sell volumes on exchanges. A high score (above 0.7) indicates that price increases are backed by real buying pressure, while a low or negative score suggests weak or speculative momentum. Latest data from Binance shows that the CVD Confirmation Score currently hovers around 0.8 to 0.9, indicating that the current price surge is largely driven by genuine taker buying rather than a technical bounce or a short squeeze. Past data also suggests that whenever this data point has remained about 0.7 for an extended period, price corrections tend to be relatively shallow and short-lived. This is because new liquidity in the market quickly absorbs any incoming supply of BTC. The CryptoQuant analyst remarked that if the CVD Confirmation Score continues to hover above 0.7 – coupled with a decisive breakout above the $124,000 – $126,000 resistance zone – then it could be on its way to a potential target of as high as $135,000. However, any negative divergence with BTC price rising and CVD Confirmation Score dropping below 0.4 should be seen as a warning sign, as it increases the likelihood of distribution or liquidation pressure. Conversely, the $112,000 – $115,000 and $108,000 – $110,000 stand out as strong support levels for BTC. At these price levels, the CVD Confirmation Score should remain steady to ensure the uptrend remains intact. Arab Chain added: The underlying trend is bullish and supported by real inflows on Binance, the highest-volume exchange globally. Monitor three confirmation signals: CVD Confirmation stays high, open interest remains moderate, and funding does not become excessive. Any clear imbalance across these metrics will be the first warning of a momentum shift. Is BTC Due For A Correction? While bulls are hoping for an extended rally for BTC, some analysts aren’t quite convinced about the digital asset surging to new highs in the near term. For instance, crypto analyst ZVN recently stated that BTC may witness a pullback before its next surge to $150,000.

On-chain data shows the 30-day netflow of the XRP whales has remained deep negative recently, a sign that the asset is under persistent selling pressure. XRP Whale Flow Is At A Negative $50 Million Per Day At The Moment As explained by CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn in a new post on X, XRP whales have been offloading coins recently. “Whales” refer to the big-money investors who hold significant amounts in their wallets and carry some influence in the market. The behavior of these key investors can often be worth keeping an eye on, as even if it may not always directly correlate with the asset’s trajectory, it can still be revealing about how the influential entities are feeling about the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin Investors Pivoting To Accumulation, But Mega Whales Are Still Selling There are many ways to track the behavior of the XRP whales, with one such being the metric cited by Maartunn: the Whale Flow. This indicator measures the net amount of coins that’s entering into or exiting out of the wallets of this cohort. Below is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the trend in the 30-day moving average (MA) of the XRP Whale Flow over the last few years: As is visible in the above graph, the 30-day MA XRP Whale Flow plunged to a highly negative value in July as the coin reached its top above $3.6. This suggests that the large holders took the opportunity of the rally to participate in profit-taking. Interestingly, since this plummet in the indicator, its value has remained at a similarly red value until today, meaning that the whales have only continued to apply selling pressure. At present, the metric is sitting at a negative value of $50 million per day, meaning that whales have been withdrawing an average of $50 million every day for the past month. This could be a reason why the cryptocurrency hasn’t seen any big rally recently, while Bitcoin and other coins have been flying. In some other news, analyst Ali Martinez has identified a price level that could help turn XRP around. As the below chart shared by Martinez in an X post shows, the coin has seemingly been trading inside a Parallel Channel over the last couple of months. A Parallel Channel is a technical analysis (TA) consolidation pattern that forms when an asset trades between two parallel trendlines. The lower level of the pattern acts as a support line. From the chart, it’s visible that in the case of this XRP Parallel Channel, it’s situated at $2.73. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Rally Still Looks Intact, CryptoQuant Says: Here’s Why The analyst has noted that if this support level holds, the coin could see a rebound to the upper level at $3.10.

Litecoin (LTC) ripped as much as 11% to $129–$131, outpacing Bitcoin and Ethereum during a market pullback as fresh spot ETF momentum stoked bids. Trading volume exploded 143% to $1.66B, while futures open interest jumped 25% to $1.21B, signaling new leverage and renewed directional conviction. Related Reading: A Hidden Pattern On Dogecoin’s Chart Could Change Everything: Analyst The catalyst is linked to the growing confidence that a U.S.-listed spot Litecoin ETF could be near the finish line. Canary Capital’s updated S-1 now includes ticker LTCC and a 0.95% fee, the kind of last-mile filing detail ETF watchers say typically appears “before go-time.” With Grayscale and CoinShares also in the hunt, analysts argue LTC’s commodity-like profile and long proof-of-work history make it one of the cleaner alt candidates for regulated fund access once the SEC resumes normal operations. Litecoin Technical setup: $130 reclaim tees up $135–$138 On the charts, Litecoin blasted through the $127.45 swing high and reclaimed stacked moving averages (7- and 30-day SMAs), turning the multi-month range from ceiling to potential floor. RSI (68) shows strong momentum without a blow-off, and MACD remains firmly positive. Immediate resistance sits at $130–$131; a daily close above opens a path to $134–$135, then $138 and $150. Should FOMO follow an ETF headline, bulls point to a broader vacuum up to the $150–$160 zone, Litecoin’s highest region since early 2022. On higher time frames, some technicians note a breakout from a year-long diagonal that, if confirmed, preserves a stretch target toward $275 over the coming months; that scenario likely requires sustained ETF-driven inflows. LTC's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: LTCUSD on Tradingview LTC Levels That Matter, And What Could Invalidate For momentum traders, the line in the sand is $125: lose it decisively and swift profit-taking could drag LTC back into $122–$125 support, with $115–$118 as a deeper retest. Hold above $125 and reclaim $130 with volume, and bulls keep control into $135–$138. Macro remains a swing factor; government shutdown timing, SEC throughput, and broader crypto risk appetite can still inject volatility. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts 60% Bitcoin Flash Crash Below $50,000 As long as $125 holds and $130 flips to support, the $135–$138 breakout looks within reach, while a green light for LTCC could be the spark that extends the move toward $150–$160 next.

Ethereum is trading at critical price levels after a sharp 10% decline from the $4,750 mark, reflecting growing uncertainty across the broader crypto market. The recent correction has pushed ETH toward the $4,300 support zone, a level that bulls are now fiercely defending to prevent a deeper retracement. Despite the pullback, on-chain data suggests that large holders remain confident, signaling that this dip may be part of a healthy market reset rather than the start of a downtrend. Related Reading: Solana Network Activity Drops 50%: Is The Rally Built On Weak Fundamentals? According to recent data, Bitmine continues its aggressive accumulation of ETH, adding to its holdings even as prices fluctuate. This steady inflow from institutional players highlights strong conviction in Ethereum’s long-term fundamentals, particularly as the network maintains dominance in DeFi and smart contract activity. Still, sentiment among retail traders remains mixed. Some fear that sustained weakness below $4,300 could trigger another wave of selling pressure, while others see this as a potential accumulation opportunity before the next major move. As Ethereum stabilizes at these levels, the coming days will be crucial to determine whether the market resumes its bullish momentum or enters a prolonged consolidation phase amid heightened volatility. Ethereum Accumulation Continues As Bitmine Strengthens Its Position According to data shared by Lookonchain, institutional accumulation around Ethereum remains strong despite recent market volatility. Just a few hours ago, Bitmine received another 23,823 ETH (worth $103.68 million) from BitGo, marking yet another significant inflow of capital. This move comes only two days after Bitmine acquired 20,020 ETH ($89.7 million) via FalconX, underscoring their consistent strategy of building exposure during price dips rather than chasing rallies. Such accumulation patterns are often seen as a sign of confidence in Ethereum’s long-term fundamentals, particularly from institutional investors who view ETH as a core asset within the broader digital economy. While short-term sentiment remains cautious after the recent correction, these inflows suggest that smart money continues to see value around current prices. The coming days will be critical for Ethereum’s technical structure. Bulls must defend the $4,300 support zone to maintain momentum and set up a potential recovery toward the $4,600–$4,750 resistance area. A strong defense here could pave the way for a new all-time high, confirming renewed investor confidence and establishing $4,300 as a key accumulation level. Related Reading: Grayscale Stakes 857,600 Ethereum Worth $3.83B As Institutional Confidence Grows Bulls Defend $4,300 Support Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading near $4,325, showing signs of consolidation after a 10% decline from its recent high of $4,750. The 12-hour chart reveals that ETH has fallen below the 50-day moving average (blue line), signaling short-term weakness, while the 100-day (green) and 200-day (red) moving averages are still trending upward — a sign that the broader uptrend remains intact. The $4,300 level now acts as a key support zone, with bulls attempting to establish a base and prevent further downside pressure. If this level holds, the next target would be a retest of $4,500–$4,600, where sellers are likely to reappear. However, a break below $4,250 could expose Ethereum to a deeper pullback toward the $4,000 psychological level, an area that previously served as a strong accumulation zone in late September. Related Reading: Short-Term Holder Supply Rises By 559K Bitcoin – New Buyers Flood the Market Momentum indicators suggest that selling pressure is easing, aligning with the recent on-chain data showing continued accumulation from large entities such as Bitmine. This reinforces the idea that institutional confidence remains strong, even amid volatility. For now, holding above $4,300 is critical — a successful defense could mark the foundation for Ethereum’s next push toward new highs. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

DOGE's price trends sideways on the daily chart. Source: DOGEUSD on Tradingview Dogecoin Whales Accumulate As Exchange Supply Thins On-chain flows are aligning with the ETF narrative. Data show roughly $23 million in DOGE left centralized exchanges recently, classic whale accumulation that reduces immediate sell pressure and can tighten supply when demand rises. At the same time, the technical structure remains constructive as DOGE has respected an ascending channel since the summer, and this week marked a fourth successful bounce off rising trendline support. Momentum gauges have stabilized, with hourly RSI hovering above neutral and OBV trending higher, signs that dip-buying persists even as broader crypto volatility ticks up. Together, shrinking exchange reserves and steady whale bids build a supportive backdrop into Q4, historically a seasonally strong stretch for DOGE. Doge Price Outlook: Key Levels To Watch Near term, bulls need to reclaim $0.254–$0.255 to break a short-term downtrend cap; a close above $0.260 would strengthen a push toward $0.278–$0.284, with the channel top near $0.33 as the next stretch target. Failure to clear $0.255 keeps price range-bound between $0.24–$0.26. On the downside, Dogecoin’s initial support sits at $0.2475, then $0.240 (channel lower bound). A decisive break below $0.232 would invalidate the constructive setup and expose $0.212–$0.205.
