Dogecoin’s price action is working on a rebound after hitting $0.222 in the past 24 hours. Zooming out into a larger timeframe shows the price structure on the weekly timeframe is pointing to an explosive breakout is in the making. Technical analysis shows that the meme coin, which has already shown it can deliver extraordinary rallies, is now sitting on a powder keg that will send it to new all-time highs. Particularly, technical projections indicate that if the current trend continues, Dogecoin could surge to $1.30. Related Reading: XRP Eyeing Explosive Move In Next Few Months, Research Shows Pattern Repetition Points To $1.3 Target The first interesting chart observation focuses on how Dogecoin rallies unfold in repeating waves of expansion. This analysis, which was posted on the social media platform X by Kamran Asghar, shows how Dogecoin has been following a repeating structure in the weekly candlestick timeframe chart. In late 2023, the Dogecoin price broke out of consolidation with a 300% surge, followed by another wave in 2024 that delivered a 500% rally from trendline support to resistance. Each cycle began with a bounce from the ascending white trendline shown on the weekly chart below, which has consistently acted as the backbone of Dogecoin’s long-term uptrend. Now, the pattern is setting up for what could be an 800% rally, highlighted in the green projection box on the chart below. This move, if completed, would see the Dogecoin price rallying past its current all-time high of $0.7316 and finally breaking above the $1 price level. Particularly, the projection puts Dogecoin rallying more than 800% to reach a price target around $1.30. Chart Image From X: Kamran Asghar Dogecoin Bullish Channel Still Intact Since 2021 Another technical analysis looks at a broader view of Dogecoin’s performance over the last four years. Price action on the weekly timeframe is plotted within a colored channel system, starting from the 2021 breakout, as shown in the chart below. The lower orange line has consistently acted as support, while the green midline has worked as a pivot point. Lastly, the upper blue line is serving as resistance. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading around $0.23, and this is just between the green midline and the orange support, meaning the bullish structure is still playing out. According to analyst KrissPax, who posted the technical analysis on the social media platform X, Dogecoin is still on track to keep moving to the upper band of the channel, which is marked in blue. Reaching this upper band would put the meme coin in the $0.70 to $1.00 range and retesting its all-time high in 2021. However, in this case, the first step would be to break above the green midline, which is currently around $0.4.

CryptoWzrd noted in a fresh update that Chainlink ended the day on a bullish note, with signs pointing to more upside ahead. The strength in LINKBTC is adding momentum, suggesting further pressure from the bulls. On the intraday chart, the $22 level is emerging as the next key bullish zone, while lower time frames remain the focus for spotting the next scalp opportunity. LINKBTC To Trigger A Reversal For Chainlink In an elaborate analysis, CryptoWzrd confirmed a strong bullish close for both the price of Chainlink and the LINK/BTC pairing. Notably, the LINK/BTC pair printed a powerful bullish daily candle, an event that coincided with a decrease in Bitcoin’s dominance. This simultaneous action suggests that capital is rotating out of Bitcoin and into altcoins like LINK, providing significant underlying strength. Related Reading: Chainlink (LINK) Triangle Setup Points To $100, Says Analyst The analyst believes that a key confirmation of a major reversal is near. Achieving just one more bullish daily close from the LINK/BTC pair would offer further bullish momentum, which would solidify the reversal. Such a development would significantly aid LINK in becoming more bullish from its present price location. Looking at the price structure, the analysis identifies $20 as the primary daily support level for Chainlink. The current setup, driven by the strength in the LINK/BTC pair, suggests that if a second consecutive bullish daily close occurs, it could spur a rapid V-shape recovery. This implies that the recent dip would be quickly and aggressively retraced. Should this V-shape recovery materialize, the immediate outlook points to a rally toward key resistance targets such as $25, followed by the more ambitious target of $30. Holding Key Resistance Zone Could Unlock Fresh Long Opportunities CryptoWzrd highlighted that both volatility and a strong underlying bullish bias characterized the intraday chart. A key takeaway is that a move above the $22 resistance level is an indicator of strength. Based on this impending move, the analyst stated his intention to look for a long position. Related Reading: Chainlink Bulls Eye $30 Target But Must First Overcome Crucial Resistance The analyst also outlined an alternate entry scenario that could present itself sooner. He suggested that if a bearish pullback were to occur from the current price location, followed immediately by a decisive bullish reversal, this reversal pattern could trigger an early long opportunity. Meanwhile, an immediate downside support level to watch is identified at $19.80. For the time being, the analyst is in a waiting period, as the current environment is ambiguous in terms of immediate entry. CryptoWzrd concluded that the next course of action is to wait for the market to further develop and produce chart formation that confirms the direction.

The cryptocurrency market is in a tense mood after Bitcoin lost important price levels this week, and investor sentiment has taken a beating. This caused the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index to plunge by 16 points in a single day, sinking to 28 yesterday, its lowest level since March. At the time of writing, the index has recovered slightly to 33, but it still in the Fear zone. This may unsettle many investors, but history shows that fearful conditions may be blessings in disguise for Bitcoin investors. Related Reading: XRP Eyeing Explosive Move In Next Few Months, Research Shows Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Drops To 28 This week has been tough for many cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin. Bitcoin, which started the week above $115,000, entered into an extended decline that saw it break below $110,000, which in turn led to liquidations of over $1 billion worth of positions across the industry. This move also saw Ethereum break below $4,000, alongside altcoins likes XRP, Solana extending to the downside. Taken together, these moves erased the cautious optimism of last week, when the index sat at a neutral level of 48. Instead, Bitcoin’s Fear and Greed Index fell to as low as 28, which is a dramatic 16 point plunge in a single day. This crash in the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index shows just how fast sentiment can reverse when important price thresholds fail to hold. However, while the fearful mood might appear to be a bearish hint, these conditions could be an opportunity for long-term traders. The Fear and Greed Index has historically been a contrarian indicator, with extreme fear levels typically appearing before significant rebounds. Earlier in March, when the index last reached similar depths, Bitcoin was trading at a relative low around $83,000. Today, even after breaking below 30 on the index again, Bitcoin is about $27,000 higher than it was in March. Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index. Source: Alternative.me Constructive Outlook For The Coming Weeks The broader takeaway from this sentiment shift is that the crypto market may be closer to its next recovery phase than many expect. The index’s slight rebound to 33 today from yesterday’s low of 28 shows that some traders are already positioning for a turnaround. For one, Bitcoin’s current prices could give savvy investors the chance to accumulate Bitcoin at discount prices. Bitcoin rarely sustains rallies in conditions of overwhelming greed. Instead, consolidations and corrections reset sentiment and make room for healthier growth. For instance, crypto analyst Michael Pizzino said in a post on X, that the most recent fear could be the turning point Bitcoin and crypto has been waiting for. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bullish Again? $10 Million Stock Buyback Sparks Fresh Price Hopes In this sense, the fearful environment may be setting the stage for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins to build bullish momentum once selling pressure eases. Now, the most important thing is for the Bitcoin price to reestablish itself above $110,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $109,220.

The cryptocurrency market remains in disarray following widespread declines, yet the XRP price continues to attract the attention of analysts who maintain an optimistic outlook. One expert noted that XRP has just printed a rare and bullish setup, with multiple chart indicators aligning in support of upward momentum. XRP Price Forms Rare Multi-Layered Bullish Setup According to crypto market expert Bobby A, XRP is in a rare market position, consolidating above key historical levels while preparing for a move that could lead to new all-time highs. He noted that different indicators are aligning in support of a possible uptrend. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bullish Again? $10 Million Stock Buyback Sparks Fresh Price Hopes In a chart shared on X social media, Bobby explained that XRP’s market capitalization has been holding above its 2018 peak for more than 300 days, an uncommon show of strength amid the recent downturn. This long consolidation above a major resistance-turned support level suggests a massive build-up of energy before the next leg higher. He argues that this base formation signals a potentially explosive move to the upside, with the next market cap targets identified at $173 billion and a peak around $727 billion. On the price front, Bobby reveals that XRP has been forming a multi-month bullish flag pattern on its charts. He labels the critical support zones as “Base Camp 1” around $1.9 and “Base Camp 2” at $2.89—both of which have been successfully defended. He further highlighted that the monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also positioning itself for one final push toward overbought territory, often a precursor to a sharp upward move. Based on his projections, XRP’s take profit zones sit between $5 and $13, levels that would mark fresh all-time highs. Bobby’s analysis highlights that XRP’s indicators are “firing on all cylinders,” with momentum across higher timeframes aligning for a potentially powerful surge. He further pointed out that Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), currently at 58.7%, is set to retrace toward the mid-to-low 40% zone soon. Such a move would enable altcoins like XRP to capture a larger market share, thereby reinforcing the likelihood of a bullish breakout. The analyst described this rare alignment as a generational setup that occurs only a few times in a decade. Bearish Divergence Sparks Short-Term XRP Sell-Off While XRP appears to be resisting the present market downturn, not all analysts share an immediate bullish sentiment. Crypto expert JD has warned about a Bearish Divergence forming on XRP’s weekly chart—a signal that has now played out as expected. As shown in the chart, while XRP’s price made higher highs, the RSI indicator printed lower highs, creating a textbook Bearish Divergence pattern. This divergence has already led to a sharp 27% correction from the $3.37 take profit level that JD had previously identified. According to him, many market participants are now questioning why XRP has been under pressure despite broader optimism. Related Reading: Hyperliquid’s Days Numbered? Expert Forecasts ‘Painful Death’ JD argues that the Bearish Divergence was the clearest warning signal, and those who ignored it are now witnessing its full effect.

After what seemed like a strong start to September, the Bitcoin price is pretty much back where it began the month. With the historically bullish “Uptober” now in sight, investors are hoping that the premier cryptocurrency will be able to find some relief and perhaps enjoy some upward momentum in the coming weeks. However, the latest on-chain revelation suggests that the Bitcoin price is at risk of further downward pressure over the next few weeks. According to a prominent analyst on social media platform X, the market leader has fallen below a crucial level, which could trigger a further 10% price drawdown. BTC To Enter ‘Correction Process’ In Next 2-3 Months? On-chain analyst Burak Kesmeci took to the X platform to share an update on the Bitcoin price in relation to the Short-Term Holder (STH)’s Realized Price. According to the crypto pundit, the BTC price has now broken beneath the STH Realized Price—around $111,500—for the fourth time this year. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run Is Over? These Signals Show Where The Market Is At For context, the Short-Term Holder Realized Price is a metric that estimates the average price at which Bitcoin short-term investors (holding for less than 115 days) purchased their coins. Because it represents the average cost basis of this relevant investor cohort, the STH Realized Price often acts as a dynamic support and resistance level. Kesmeci revealed that the Bitcoin price had previously fallen below the STH Realized Price three times so far during this bull run, which started in November 2022. According to the on-chain analyst, the market leader entered a consolidation phase when this happened the past three times. In the first incident of BTC slipping beneath STH Realized Price, the Bitcoin price witnessed an over 8% decline between August and October 2023. Meanwhile, the flagship cryptocurrency’s value declined by more than 13% between June 2024 and October 2024 in the second occurrence. Most recently, the market leader dipped almost 8% between February and April 2025 when the Bitcoin price fell below the STH Realized Price. Kesmeci highlighted that, on average, these consolidation phases lasted 77 days and each resulted in an almost 10% loss in BTC’s value. Kesmeci concluded that the Bitcoin price could enter a consolidation/correction phase if it does close the week and perhaps the month beneath the STH Realized Price around $111,500. And if history does repeat itself, investors could see the market lose as much as 10% over the next two to three months. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $109,538, reflecting no significant change in the past 24 hours.

According to reports, XRP is trading near $2.78 as markets head toward the year-end, with less than 100 days left until 2026. The token slipped more than 10% in the last week, a pullback that comes after stronger showings earlier this year. Related Reading: XRP Eyeing Explosive Move In Next Few Months, Research Shows Traders and analysts are watching a mix of on-chain signals and community chatter for clues about whether XRP can push into higher price tiers before the calendar flips. Community Predicted Targets Social media has become the loudest forum for price calls. One long-time Bitcoin investor active since 2013, who posts as Pumpius, put a $25 target on XRP before 2026 — a move that would mean over nine-fold gains from current levels. #XRP to $25 before 2026 https://t.co/7GMFJ9psR9 — Pumpius (@pumpius) September 24, 2025 Other voices have offered different ceilings: Alex Cobb has floated $22 by December, some expect $10, while a few see at least $5 as a nearer-term milestone. A handful of commenters even suggested figures above $30, tying those hopes to potential ETF flows. Replies on the thread ranged from bullish cheers to reminders to aim for smaller wins first, like cracking $4. ETF Interest And Market Flows Based on reports, optimism around potential XRP ETFs is a core driver behind the larger forecasts. Executives such as the CEO of Canary Capital have suggested that ETFs could open the door to billions of dollars of new inflows. That thesis has brought new life to bull cases and provided momentum to speculation about double-digit prices. Meanwhile, market behavior has been mixed: XRP had its strong periods in January and once more in July, yet momentum was lost thereafter, leaving traders hesitant as they balance ETF optimism with subsequent price weakness. Trading Behavior And On-Chain Signals XRP is seen to have a lower dormancy rate than Bitcoin and Ethereum in recent chain data. That indicates the units of XRP change hands more frequently, which generally means active usage — payments, transfers, and liquidity trades. Reports indicate that Bitcoin’s higher dormancy corresponds with a stronger “store of value” mental attitude, whereas Ethereum’s dormancy corresponds with developer and DeFi activity. XRP’s active circulation fits Ripple’s long-stated push to make the token a bridge asset for payments, rather than a coin mainly held for long-term gains. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bullish Again? $10 Million Stock Buyback Sparks Fresh Price Hopes Dormancy Signals And Implications If transactional use continues to rise, it may help XRP build a case as a utility-driven asset. But higher movement alone does not guarantee price appreciation. Accumulation patterns also matter: assets that are hoarded tend to build scarcity narratives that can support higher valuations. Analysts and investors will likely watch whether greater on-chain use is matched by fresh buying pressure, including from institutional products, before updating their long-term views.
