Based on his view, XRP could climb by 226% to reach $9.90, and if that zone is cleared the path to $20 could open. $XRP is a BUY, according to the TD Sequential! pic.twitter.com/fY7GTgXEB0 — Ali (@ali_charts) September 20, 2025 Marks compared today’s price structure to prior long swings that led to sharp gains after extended sideways periods. Based on reports from Martinez, the TD Sequential on the four-hour chart flashed a buy signal. That indicator is used by many traders to spot when a trend may stop and reverse. Martinez said recent consolidation improved the odds for buyers, and that the shorter-term trend now favors upward movement. Both analysts emphasized patterns and indicators rather than a fixed timetable for any rally.

Market reaction has been cautious. XRP has been holding above $3, but price action slowed as it neared resistance. Traders are now watching whether the token can push beyond the next supply zone or retreat back into consolidation. XRP market cap currently at $178 billion.

CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x – Here’s More Carbon Market Could Create Demand Meanwhile, there is a separate line of discussion that links XRP to tokenized carbon credits. Based on a Precedence Research projection cited in reports, the carbon credit market could expand from about $933 billion in 2025 to more than $16 trillion by 2034. Other research pointed to the carbon offsets segment being around $1.06 trillion in 2023 and possibly rising past $3 trillion by 2032. If tokenization of credits gains scale, those working on market plumbing say fast, low-cost rails could be useful. The XRP Ledger is reported to be carbon neutral, which supporters argue could make it an attractive option for moving tokenized credits. Still, this is a hypothetical demand case and no clear model ties that potential directly to a specific XRP price level. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Ethereum remains one of the most controversial tokens in the present market cycle, considering its status as the second-largest cryptocurrency and largest altcoin by market cap. Notably, several analysts have consistently backed ETH to reach a five-digit price mark this cycle based on varying rationales. Popular analyst Ted Pillows has now shared a new historical perspective that supports this general bullish notion. Related Reading: Bitmine’s Ethereum Appetite Grows With Fresh $70 Million Buy Short-Term ETH Correction To Precede Major $10,000 Rally – Analyst In an X post on September 20, Pillows shared a technical analysis of the ETH market, which shows that the altcoin is consolidating just below its 2021 all-time high (ATH), indicating a price behavior that is potentially bullish based on historical data. Currently trading just below $4,500, Ethereum has been unable to hold decisively above its previous cycle peak of $4,878 set in November 2021. However, the present consolidation mirrors a similar setup from the last bull cycle. In 2021, ETH experienced a sharp 25% correction after retesting the 2017 ATH of $1,400, before resuming its meteoric climb to new highs above $4,800. In applying this pattern to today’s market, Ted Pillows states a comparable correction would send ETH back toward the $3,700–$3,800 zone. While such a price decline may unsettle short-term traders, the Pillows’ analysis suggests it is a necessary reset before Ethereum can stage a breakout. Once this corrective phase plays out, the market expert projects Ethereum to embark on a powerful rally to potentially reach $10,000 by early 2026, representing a potential 100% gain from current market levels.

This milestone underscores Ethereum’s dominance as the backbone of decentralized finance (DeFi), fueling liquidity and trading across the crypto ecosystem. Despite this achievement, Ethereum’s price has come under pressure in the past week alongside other crypto assets. The prominent is currently trading at $4,470, marking a 4.32% decline in the past 7 days. Meanwhile, daily trading volume is also down by 47.31% and valued at $17.1 billion. In a separate X post, Ted Pillows has also noted that if Ethereum fails to reclaim the $4,500 level, the next key support lies between $4,000 and $4,200. While this range will be crucial for maintaining bullish momentum, a deeper pullback to below $4,000 would still align with bullish historical behavior as earlier stated.

Cardano (ADA) prices have dropped by 3.49% in the past week, amidst a broader crypto market correction. The popular altcoin now trades near the $0.90 price region following this significant bearish activity. However, renowned market expert Ali Martinez has shared an audacious bullish theory that suggests Cardano may be preparing for a major upside swing. Related Reading: Pundit Predicts XRP Price Crash Below $3, Here’s Why ADA Price Structure Suggests Bullish Breakout Ahead, Analyst Says In a recent X post, Martinez provides some technical insight into the Cardano market, which highlights the potential for a significant price move based on historical price behavior and Fibonacci extension levels. Notably, Martinez’s analysis shows how ADA previously topped between the 1.000 and 1.272 Fibonacci extension in its last bull run and appears to be showing similar technical structure this time around. For context, the Fibonacci extension tool is widely used to identify possible price targets by mapping ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence against historical price action. In Cardano’s last cycle, ADA surged from lows near $0.018 in early 2020 to highs around $3.10 in 2021 as the cycle peak. At the time of writing, ADA is consolidating near the 0.618 extension level at $1.15. This zone has historically acted as both strong resistance and support, making it a critical battleground for bulls and bears. If ADA can decisively break above $1.15, Martinez’s projections suggest momentum could build toward higher Fibonacci extension targets, most notably in the $3-$6 range. Such a move would represent a substantial upside from current levels, with about a 200% gain alone required just to reach the $3 threshold that aligns with the 1.000 extension level. Meanwhile, achieving the upper end of the projection near $6 would put Cardano back in contention with its 2021 highs, which aligns with the 1.272 Fibonacci extension level. However, it’s worth noting that a rejection at $1.15 resistance level could force Cardano to lower levels at $0.62 (0.382 Fib) and $0.43 (0.236 Fib).

The daily trading volume has also dropped sharply by 49.53%, signaling reduced activity and waning momentum among traders. Meanwhile, recent on-chain data highlights significant whale movements, with over 530 million ADA ($472 million) offloaded within the past 72 hours, according to Ali Martinez. Such large-scale selling often indicates profit-taking or repositioning by major holders, adding to bearish sentiment. Despite this, ADA continues to rank as the 10th largest cryptocurrency with a total market cap of $32.03 billion. Featured image from Flickr, chart from Tradingview

Dogecoin is once again showing signs of history repeating itself, with its well-known 1-2 formation returning on the charts. After breaking out of its key $0.22–$0.24 channel, momentum is building as bullish signals align, hinting that the meme coin may be gearing up for another powerful move. Breakout From $0.22–$0.24 Marks End Of Consolidation Alpha Crypto Signal, in a recent update, revealed a significant development for Dogecoin, noting that the meme coin has successfully broken out of its long-standing horizontal channel. This channel, which had contained its price between $0.22 and $0.24 for an extended period, had been a key consolidation zone for the asset. This decisive breach of the range confirms a major shift in momentum and signals the end of a prolonged phase of stagnant price action. Related Reading: Dogecoin On Edge — 2.5 Days Remain To Lock In Breakout Springboard The validity of this breakout is further reinforced by a crucial technical indicator: rising volume. As Dogecoin pushed higher, the increased trading volume served as a powerful signal of conviction from the buyers. This strong backing indicates that the move was not a fleeting event but rather a genuine surge of interest, with significant capital flowing into the asset. Following its strong rally, Dogecoin is currently experiencing a healthy and expected pullback from the resistance zone between $0.29 and $0.30. However, this slight retreat is a positive and natural part of a strong uptrend, as it allows the market to consolidate and prevents the rally from becoming overheated. According to the expert, this pullback is presenting a strategic opportunity for traders. Alpha Crypto Signal suggests that any retest of the breakout level, specifically the $0.24 to $0.25 zone, could offer a solid long opportunity. As long as Dogecoin can hold above this crucial zone and maintain its overall bullish structure, the positive momentum from the breakout is expected to continue. Dogecoin Pattern Repeats: History Points To Another Pump In a recent post on X, crypto analyst CryptoELlTES has revealed a compelling observation about Dogecoin’s price history. He asserts that a specific technical pattern is repeating itself on the chart, one that has consistently preceded every major Dogecoin pump in the past. This historical correlation suggests that the current setup is highly significant. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ready To Bark Again? Analyst Sees Path To $0.45 According to the analysis, Dogecoin is at the final stage of this “1-2 pattern.” The chart displays the same formation that previously launched the asset into several parabolic moves. Since the market is showing the same bullish behavior that has historically led to explosive growth for the coin, a major upward move could be on the horizon.

Over the past week, the Bitcoin market experienced significant volatile price action, resulting in a net price loss of 0.07%. Notably, the crypto market leader initially surged to $118,000 as bullish sentiments rose after the US Federal Reserve announced the first interest rate cut of 2025. However, Bitcoin has since retraced to around $115,700 in the past 24 hours, as transaction activity cooled off. In studying the asset’s price structure, a popular market analyst with the X username KillaXBT has highlighted two important price levels. Related Reading: Countdown To ‘Bitcoin Bottom Day’: Why September 21 Could Change Everything Bitcoin’s Weekly Open Faces Pressure Amid Daily Imbalance Threat In an X post on September 19, KillaXBT shares a vital cautionary insight on the present Bitcoin market, identifying two support zones in danger. Notably, as of the latest session, BTC has retested its weekly open at $115,219, a level that has served as a key pivot point for both bulls and bears. Holding above this threshold would be a strong sign of strength, while a decisive move lower could tilt market sentiment bearish. However, there is also a heavy focus on a daily fair value gap extending down to $113,355, highlighted on the charts as an area of imbalance left behind by rapid price action. KillaXBT explains that losing the weekly open would likely trigger a price decline to $113,355 because such inefficiencies eventually get filled, as price retraces into the zone to rebalance order flow. However, there is also the presence of the previous wick low at $114,367, which currently sits just above the FVG zone. This intermediate support may act as a buffer before any deeper probe toward the $113,355 mark. According to KillaXBT, Bitcoin price holding above the weekly open and FVG price zone is critical for price action going into the next week. A successful price defence at these levels could result in a reclaim of $118,000 claim and potentially the present ATH at $124,000. Meanwhile, a decisive price fall below $113,355 would expose the premier cryptocurrency to downside targets around $112,000, $110,000, and $108,000.

While tokens like XRP dominate headlines amid rising ETF approval speculations, the Cardano price is also gaining attention as market conditions slowly recover from bearish trends. New data from Changelly, a crypto exchange, has suggested that Cardano could be gearing up for a massive breakout. The big question now is whether the cryptocurrency has the momentum to reach a $100 milestone. Why A $100 Cardano Price Remains A Distant Goal Cardano’s price action has generated significant interest in recent months, as analysts from Changelly attempt to project its next big move. According to their forecasts, ADA remains a relatively low-priced cryptocurrency compared to some of its altcoin rivals like XRP, with projections pointing to modest gains in the near term and a potential surge above $100 by 2040. Related Reading: Bitmine’s Ethereum Appetite Grows With Fresh $70 Million Buy Changelly’s outlook for 2025 suggests a trading range between $0.77 and $0.97, with the average price stabilizing around $1.17. These numbers highlight a steady upward trend but remain far from the speculative $100 level. Breaking this down further, experts from the crypto platform project that in September 2025, ADA could fluctuate between $0.891 and $0.924, averaging near $0.908. By October 2025, expectations widen slightly, with potential movement between $0.88 and $1.17. November’s outlook places the Cardano price between $0.77 and $1.05, averaging around $0.91, while December 2025 suggests values between $0.807 and $0.87. Taken together, these estimates show that ADA is likely to continue strengthening its price floor while maintaining realistic, incremental growth rather than explosive parabolic moves. From this perspective, a $100 Cardano price seems improbable within the near or mid-term future. However, in the long-term, Changelly predicts that ADA could exceed the $100 target to reach $116.83 by February 2040. The maximum price for that month has also been set at $132.72. Cardano’s Price Action While Changelly’s technical analysis provides insight into potential short-term price movements, Cardano’s long-term story is deeply rooted in its fundamentals. At present, the cryptocurrency trades around $0.91 with a circulating supply of over 35.7 billion ADA, giving it a market capitalization of approximately $32 billion. ADA has displayed steady momentum in the last week, climbing 1.48% and nearly 6% over the past month. According to Changelly, this growth signals that Cardano still commands a solid market presence, reinforcing its potential for a breakout soon. Although the cryptocurrency has dipped by over $0.01 in the past 24 hours, Changelly points out that recent trading activity has turned notably bullish for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: From $2 Trillion To $400T?

Still, Changelly notes that ADA is showing great potential lately, suggesting that its current price level could be a good buying opportunity for investors.

Prominent market analyst Ali Martinez has outlined some bullish insights on the Chainlink market regarding short-term price action. This development comes amid a rather volatile moment as LINK prices have declined by almost 5% in the past day following a double price rejection at the $24.80 region. Related Reading: Chainlink Primed For Takeoff: Liquidity Sweep Strengthens Bullish Outlook LINK Bulls Face Key Test At $25 Before Potential Run To $30 In an X post on September 19, Martinez shares an in-depth technical analysis highlighting that Chainlink (LINK) is approaching a decisive moment, having previously tested the $25 resistance zone, a price point crucial to the next bullish leg of the altcoin. Notably, Martinez’s analysis also suggests that LINK is consolidating within a symmetrical triangle, with volatility compressing ahead of what could be a significant breakout. At press time, LINK trades around $23.60, just below the crucial $24.80–$25 zone, which aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. The renowned analyst notes that clearing this barrier could unlock the path toward $27.85, the 1.0 Fibonacci extension, before LINK sets its sights on the $30.12 target (1.272 Fibonacci level). Beyond that, the altcoin could also seize a potential move toward $31.39, if bullish momentum continues. Meanwhile, the symmetrical triangle pattern indicates a period of indecision between buyers and sellers, but as the price action coils tighter near the apex, the likelihood of a breakout increases. If current market demand intensifies under this condition, the $25 breakout could act as the ignition point for a larger rally. However, failure to breach resistance could send LINK back to lower support levels around $23.30 (0.382 Fib) before attempting another breakout. In a bearish case, LINK could break below the symmetrical triangle, with potential support zones set around or even $22.30 (0.236 Fib) or $20.85 (0). Related Reading: MetaMask’s Long-Rumored Token May Arrive ‘Sooner Than Expected’, CEO Says Chainlink Market Overview At the time of writing, Chainlink continues to trade at $23.61 after a price decline of 6.02% in the last seven days. This negative performance only underlines the struggles of LINK in the past month, during which it declined by 11.30%. Meanwhile, recent information shared by Coin Bureau indicates Chainlink ($LINK) may be on the verge of a supply shock as exchange balances have dropped to their lowest levels since 2022. This sharp decline signals that holders are moving coins off exchanges, reducing immediate sell pressure and tightening available supply. At the same time, Martinez also reports that whale activity has surged, with nearly 2 million LINK accumulated in the last 48 hours, underscoring strong confidence from large investors. The combination of reduced exchange liquidity and aggressive whale accumulation is often a precursor to a sharp, significant rally, as demand outpaces available supply.

Shiba Inu is now entering the same space as some of the largest cryptocurrencies when it comes to discussing exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The SHIB coin is starting to gain notice as it appears on Coinbase’s radar. Coinbase already offers a futures product for Shiba Inu, and this step positions the meme coin for consideration as a future ETF. SHIB’s marketing lead claims the coin already has the necessary setup for this, while a market analyst predicts significant price growth. Both agree that momentum for SHIB is picking up now. Related Reading: From $2 Trillion To $400T? CEO Sees Bitcoin Exploding 200x – Here’s More Shiba Inu Enters Coinbase’s ETF Watchlist According to SHIB’s marketing lead, Susie S, the coin has now joined Coinbase’s “ETF Watchlist Club.” This group already includes Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL), Hedera (HBAR), and XRP. Being named in this group indicates that the Shiba Inu token is gaining more serious attention. Susie S explained that Shiba Inu is in line for spot ETF consideration because Coinbase already has a regulated futures contract called the “1K SHIB Index.” It is essential because it puts SHIB on the same pathway that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) followed before they gained approval for spot ETFs. For the first time, the meme coin now stands in the same conversation as two of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies. She added that while it may be harder for Shiba Inu to launch its own solo ETF immediately, the ETF could be part of a larger product. That product could be something like a “Top 10 Crypto ETF” that bundles together several coins. Market Analyst Sees Massive Potential For SHIB Price Market analyst Heber Mayen also sees a big future for Shiba Inu. Posting a SHIB price chart on X, he stated, “It’s gonna be massive!” His comment reflects the rising attention around Shiba Inu as it becomes more active in trading markets. Mayen explained that SHIB’s popularity on Coinbase’s perpetual markets is a significant indicator. As more traders buy and sell SHIB in these products, the trading volume goes up. This rise in volume can help SHIB meet one of the needs for an ETF to be approved. In other words, the more people trade Shiba Inu now, the stronger the case becomes for a future ETF. Related Reading: FalconX Moves 413K Solana Worth $98M – Impact On SOL Price Currently, Shiba Inu is attracting more leveraged traders, and this ETF activity may be fueling ongoing speculation.

The price action and volume activity together create the type of market story that can push Shiba Inu further into the spotlight. Backed by comments from its marketing lead and bullish words from the analyst, the SHIB meme coin could become the next big thing. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

In his latest update, CryptoWzrd observed that Litecoin closed the day on a bearish note, moving in line with Bitcoin’s broader trend. He stressed that the LTC/BTC chart remains within a falling wedge formation. CryptoWzrd added that he will be keeping a close watch on the intraday action over the weekend to scout for quick scalp opportunities, particularly if Bitcoin lends further confirmation to the setup. Falling Wedge Formation Holds The Key CryptoWzrd highlighted that both Litecoin’s daily chart and the LTC/BTC pair closed on a bearish note. Despite this short-term weakness, he pointed out that LTC/BTC continues to maintain a falling wedge formation, a structure that historically favors bullish reversals when broken to the upside. Related Reading: Litecoin Clings To Ascending Trendline As Bulls Eye $135 Breakout He explained that a healthy breakout from this wedge could trigger a strong upside rally, with Litecoin likely to follow suit and reflect the broader market sentiment. Such a move would mark a significant shift in momentum, particularly after the recent bearish closes, and could attract renewed buying pressure into the market. CryptoWzrd noted that Litecoin, although trading bearish, is still holding firmly above the $112 level. He emphasized that this zone is crucial, as a single strong bullish daily candle from this area could serve as confirmation for buyers and set the stage for the next leg higher. Looking ahead, he identified $140 as the next key resistance target, a level that would need to be overcome for Litecoin to confirm a sustained rally. Should the price manage to close above $140, CryptoWzrd believes the altcoin could extend gains toward $170 and potentially open the door for a broader bullish continuation. Litecoin Intraday Volatility Picks Up Conclusively, the analyst noted that Litecoin’s intraday chart showed noticeable volatility today, a sign that price movements could remain sharp in the near term. He suggested that traders should anticipate more swings from this location, as the market attempts to establish a clearer direction. Related Reading: Litecoin Is On Fire: $120–$125 Range In Bullish Crosshairs The expert emphasized that for Litecoin to shift into a more positive stance, it must hold above the $115.50 intraday resistance. A successful move above this level could provide the momentum needed to push higher, with $123 standing out as the next resistance target on the upside. For now, his focus remains on lower time frame charts to identify quick scalp opportunities. Given that trading conditions tend to be thinner and less predictable over the weekend, he added that his expectations will remain measured, preferring to wait for a healthy setup before committing to new positions.
