Despite experiencing a significant plunge from ATH levels earlier last month, the Bitcoin price continues to test crucial levels that could shape the trajectory of its next move. A fresh analysis from crypto market expert Casitrades suggests that the coming days could define whether the broader market will face a macro correction or extend its bullish momentum. For now, Fibonacci zones, Elliott Wave structures, and Relative Strength Index (RSI) behaviour align to build a critical narrative around BTC’s price direction. Possible Scenarios For Bitcoin Price Macro Correction On Friday, Casitrades explained in an X social media post that Bitcoin’s recent price surge has tested the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level around $116,000, an important milestone in the recovery phase. Interestingly, despite this sudden push higher, the RSI highlighted on the price chart is yet to show the exhaustion one would typically expect at a major top. This suggests buyers may still have room to drive prices further upward before hitting a ceiling. Notably, the analyst pointed out $118,000 as the next critical level to watch, noting that it coincides with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and the 1.236 C-wave target within the developing Wave 2 structure. Casitrades has described this area as a decisive confluence point. A sharp rejection here could confirm that Bitcoin’s bull run has officially ended, reinforcing the theory that the cryptocurrency remains locked in a Wave 2 macro correction phase. On the other hand, the analyst noted that forming a top around the decisive confluence point would confirm that BTC is not ready to challenge or break into new all-time highs and could instead retrace deeper. As the chart illustrates, potential downside targets lie well below Bitcoin’s current price levels above $115,800, hinting that a failure at $118,000 could lead to a steeper correction that might drag the cryptocurrency back into the $110,000 – $106,000 zone in the near term. $122,000 Marks Final Test For Macro Correction While $118,000 remains the first line of resistance for Bitcoin, Casitrades highlighted that the cryptocurrency could extend its rally higher into the $120,000 – $122,000 zone if momentum persists. This level is viewed as the final test that will decide whether the macro correction holds or fails. It aligns with the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement, making it an even more formidable resistance area. The expectation is that if Bitcoin’s RSI shows signs of exhaustion and the cryptocurrency faces strong rejection in this region, the correction could be swift and significant. In this scenario, Bitcoin would set up for a macro downturn, confirming the theory that the rally from recent lows has merely been a corrective leg.

However, if Bitcoin manages to break through $122,000 convincingly, Casitrades notes that it would invalidate the macro correction narrative altogether and potentially send it to price levels between $122,000 – $124,000.

Many crypto analysts and investors are very bullish on XRP, providing lofty price targets. However, Austin Hilton, a popular crypto commentator, has declared that investors are not bullish enough on XRP, while also admitting that he too had underestimated the token’s true potential. His latest outlook is that XRP’s price upside is far greater than most expect, and this realization comes from examining where Bitcoin could be in the coming years. Related Reading: ETF Dreams For Dogecoin: Serious Possibility Or Just Hype? Bitcoin’s Billion-Dollar Forecast And What It Means For XRP XRP price predictions have mostly always been anchored on discussions and expectations of adoption by banks in cross-border settlement. However, according to Austin Hilton, all these catalysts could be left aside, and XRP’s price could surge massively in the years ahead, especially if Bitcoin fulfills lofty projections. According to the pundit, the scale of the crypto opportunity in the coming decades is so immense that current investors are not bullish enough and accumulating enough XRP. He referenced a circulating forecast that predicted that Bitcoin could reach as high as $1 billion per coin by 2038, a figure championed by high-profile names such as Michael Saylor. This prediction stunned him, as the highest long-term projections he had seen had put the Bitcoin price at $13 million. Bringing the conversation back to XRP, he noted that if this projected Bitcoin rally pushes the entire market upward, as it has always done, then XRP’s value could rise even more in relative terms. Therefore, XRP has the room to act as a multiplier in comparison to Bitcoin’s moves because of its smaller market cap. The Roadmap To Double And Triple-Digit XRP As noted by Hilton, the $1 billion projection is very speculative, adding that “that absolutely floored me and blew me away.” However, the analyst also pointed out that even shorter-term moves in Bitcoin could have an outsized impact on XRP. For instance, he predicted that the XRP price will surge to between $15 and $20 if Bitcoin were to reach $200,000 by the end of the year. Furthermore, he added that XRP’s price could realistically climb to triple digits if Bitcoin advances to the $1 million price level in the coming years. In this case, the analyst estimated a potential of at least $100 per coin. Interestingly, these price targets do not even account for catalysts within XRP’s own ecosystem, such as Ripple’s cross-border payment network, acquisitions, and growing adoption among banks. XRP’s upside could be even greater when these factors are factored in. Related Reading: Dogecoin Defies Odds, Jumps 21% Even As ETF Debut Gets Pushed Back The pundit’s bottom line was that XRP holders need to raise their level of conviction. Bitcoin currently makes up around 60% of the entire crypto market, meaning that any explosive growth in its value is almost certain to lift other large market cap cryptocurrencies. XRP has a smaller cap than Bitcoin, so it could post even stronger relative gains in such an environment. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.14, up by 2.9% in the past 24 hours.

The latest on-chain data shows that the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ethereum, may be currently undervalued. Having witnessed a strong resurgence in the past week, the altcoin could be on the verge of an extended rally over the next few weeks. Ethereum’s NVT Ratio Hits New Record Low In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, crypto analyst CryptoOnchain reported that there has been a disproportionate increase in transaction volume concerning ETH compared to its market capitalization. The relevant indicator here is the Ethereum NVT (Network Value to Transactions ratio) (30-day SMA), which measures the ratio of Ethereum’s market capitalization to its daily transaction volume over the span of 30 days. Related Reading: XRP Exchange Reserves Balloon 1.2 Billion In One Day, Why This Is Bearish For Price CryptoOnchain revealed that the 30-day moving average NVT recently hit its lowest point ever recorded. As explained by the on-chain analyst, this could suggest two things: firstly, that the Ethereum token is undervalued. For context, a low NVT reflects very high transaction volume compared to a relatively low market capitalization. What this means is that the Ethereum network is being heavily used, but the price isn’t showing its worth as much as its usage suggests. Following this logic, one could conclude the market is currently undervaluing Ethereum’s utility. The second indication from the historically low NVT is that the increase in transaction volume could be due to “temporary factors such as DeFi, NFT events, or large capital movements.” According to the analyst, these temporary factors do not necessarily mean sustainable growth for the ETH price. What To Expect CryptoOnchain cited historical occurrences to explain the typical case where an NVT bottom is a result of market undervaluation. In this case, it has been observed that sharp NVT bottoms precede bullish phases. However, in what was a caveat, the online pundit mentioned that there have been cases where very low NVT levels were accompanied by further price declines. Seeing that the Ethereum NVT is not just at a mere low level, but at its all-time low, it seems more likely that the market is undervaluing the token’s worth. It is therefore not out of the question to expect a more upward swing in the price of the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Ethereum To $6,800 By Year End?

Dogecoin’s recent move has put traders on edge and split opinion across markets. Prices leapt this week as news and big trade flows pushed the token higher, creating a fresh round of buy-or-hold debates on trading desks and crypto chat rooms. Related Reading: Dogecoin Defies Odds, Jumps 21% Even As ETF Debut Gets Pushed Back ETF Launch Faces New Delay Based on reports, the eagerly watched US DOGE ETF has been pushed back again, with the earliest new listing window now sliding toward September 18. That postponement briefly dented hopes of immediate ETF access, but it did not stop demand from rising. Some market participants treated the delay as a pause, while others used it to enter positions ahead of any eventual listing. Price Rally Accelerates Momentum Meanwhile, Dogecoin price is up 15% in the last 24 hours, and 38% in the last week. Traders moved the token above recent swing levels, with on-screen quotes clustered in the mid-$0.20s to $0.30s. Volume rose alongside the gains. Quick gains like these tend to attract short-term players and cause order books to thin out, which in turn can make price jumps larger and pullbacks sharper. Institutional Bets Back Dogecoin Reports have disclosed that a corporate plan has added fuel to the rally. CleanCore Solutions announced a Dogecoin treasury effort backed by roughly $175 million in private capital, and reports name high-profile figures among those expected to take board roles. The company says it intends to hold DOGE as a reserve asset, and talk of large buys tied to that plan helped lift sentiment among some investors. What The Price Action Shows Short-term charts look overheated to some and promising to others. Momentum indicators are positive, and a pattern that some chart watchers call a pennant has formed on intraday charts. Related Reading: ETF Dreams For Dogecoin: Serious Possibility Or Just Hype? At the same time, resistance remains above current levels and quick reversals are possible. On-chain flows, futures open interest, and large wallet moves will be key in the coming days because they can flip a green session into a sharp drop if liquidations hit. Dogecoin’s jump this week is driven by a mix of headline buying and reported institutional interest. Reports show a 9% gain in 24 hours and 32% over the week, which is strong but not guaranteed to continue. For some, the setup still looks like a buy on dips. For others, the rally is already too hot to chase without clear entry rules. Volatility is likely to stay high while the ETF story and institutional moves play out.

After hovering around the $300 mark at the start of this week, the Aave price appears to have finally broken out of its consolidatory pattern. On Friday, September 12, the DeFi token made a brief return to the $320 level on the back of a general market surge. The strong momentum of the Aave price movement suggests that the altcoin’s return to $320 might not be a random occurrence. An interesting convergence of an optimistic technical outlook and positive on-chain data paints a picture of what is next for the AAVE token. What Does This Positive Divergence Mean For Aave? In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, CryptoOnchain shared an interesting on-chain insight into the journey of the Aave price from around $130 in late 2024 to above $340 in the year. According to the crypto analyst, Aave’s Market Cap to Total Value Locked (TVL) ratio concurrently dropped to a two-year low as price rose to the 2025 high. Related Reading: Chainlink And Polymarket Forge New Alliance: LINK Forecasted To Outperform XRP By 2030 The MC/TVL ratio, as the name suggests, is an on-chain metric that compares a token’s market capitalization and the total value locked on its underlying protocol. CryptoOnchain noted that this indicator typically surges in tandem with price, except when the TVL metric grows at a rate faster than the market capitalization. However, the latest drop of the MC/TVL ratio to its lowest level in two years—as price grew—represents a positive divergence, which is likely driven by substantial capital inflows into Aave’s contracts. According to CryptoOnchain, this significant inflow of capital boosts the TVL without the market cap fully reflecting it. The crypto analyst attributed this situation to relative undervaluation—provided that the TVL growth is sustainable and not due to short-term yield farming activities. Overall, this positive divergence could be a bullish catalyst for both the AAVE price and the protocol’s fundamentals. Is $335 The Next Stop For AAVE Price? In a separate analysis on social media platform X, crypto analyst Ali Martinez set a target of $335 for the AAVE price. This positive prediction is based on its recent breakout of a falling wedge on the four-hour chart. The falling wedge, which is characterized by two converging downward trendlines, is often seen as a bullish formation. After falling into this pattern towards the end of August, the price of Aave has finally broken out of the falling wedge. According to Martinez, the AAVE price could travel to as high as $335 in its next leg up. This move would represent an over 5% move from the current price point. As of this writing, the price of Aave stands at around $318.5, reflecting an almost 4% jump in the past 24 hours.

Amidst a bullish crypto market, Dogecoin (DOGE) prices have surged by nearly 7% in the last day, crossing the $0.280 price margin. Interestingly, prominent market analyst Ali Martinez is tipping the altcoin for much larger gains ahead after stating the market presently remains in a “Buy Zone”. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Out, Eyes Historic Surge Between $0.41–$0.97 – What To Expect Chart Signals Dogecoin Ready For Next Parabolic Rally On Friday, Ali Martinez shared on X that Dogecoin has re-entered what is a major “buy zone,” with technical patterns suggesting the popular meme coin is on the verge of a sharp breakout. A long-term ascending channel chart, shared by Martinez, highlights how DOGE has consistently bounced from a rising support band, each time triggering parabolic rallies that stunned the market. Notably, these dramatic price surges were seen in 2017, 2021, and again in 2023–2024. For instance, the 2017 breakout saw DOGE soar by more than 9,400%, while the 2021 move produced an even more staggering 13,000% rally, propelling prices above $0.70. More recently, the bounce from the lower channel in late 2023 fueled a more modest but still impressive 240% gain. Currently, Dogecoin sits around $0.28, hugging the lower support band once again. This positioning suggests that, according to the historical trend, DOGE is in a favorable accumulation zone, potentially setting up for its next major upward move. With broader crypto markets stabilizing and altcoins regaining momentum, Dogecoin could once again leverage its historic cyclical behavior to produce another massive price surge. Notably, a sustained breakout above $0.340, the most recent local high, would be the first confirmation of renewed bullish momentum. From there, the growth channel suggests upside targets could extend well beyond $1. However, Dogecoin could also remain in consolidation if Bitcoin dominance rises or perhaps the current capital flowing into altcoins thins out. But the repeating chart structure adds weight to the view that DOGE is closer to the beginning, not the end, of its bullish phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Flashes ‘Rarest Signal’ Ever, Is A 100% Rally Possible? Dogecoin Market Outlook At press time, Dogecoin continues to trade at $0.281 as earlier stated, following gains of 6.75% in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the asset’s trading volume is up by 14.63% and valued at 4.76 billion. On higher timeframes, the price trend remains firmly positive as DOGE is up 28.28% on the weekly chart and 12.67% over the past month, underscoring sustained momentum beyond the short-term rally. Interestingly, Coincodex analysts are also presenting a bullish DOGE case, albeit from a conservative angle, projecting a $0.31 price valuation in the next month.
