Cryptos bounced on Trump’s five-day pause announcement, but the next move hinges on whether tensions between the U.S. and Iran ease or spiral, a Wintermute trader said.
Market expert Ali Martinez recently revealed on X (formerly Twitter) what he describes as “the secret to every major Bitcoin bull run since 2011,” saying October could offer one of the best entry points ahead of the next bull market. Martinez shared an on‑chain fractal breakdown that points to a potential “final discount” in October of this year, where investors might find optimal buying opportunities before the next sustained uptrend. Bitcoin Could Bottom At $41,000-$45,000 In his social media post, Martinez suggests that Bitcoin is still operating within a four‑year rhythm that breaks down into a sequence of accumulation, markup, distribution, and a bear phase. Within that larger cycle, he highlights two shorter subcycles and asserts the market is now moving into what he describes as the “final discount” period. Using that framework, Martinez puts a likely “golden entry” window between October 6 and October 16, 2026. Related Reading: Ethereum Bottom Signal? Analyst Maps Out Road To $10,000 Beyond timing, Martinez offered specific price bands for ideal buying opportunities. He identified entry points in the $41,500 to $45,000 range, which would represent declines of roughly 41% and 36%, respectively, from current trading levels of around $70,800. October Launchpad Those potential retracements in the coming months imply that Bitcoin may still have substantial downside before the October window, according to his reading of past cycles.

The expert concluded his Monday social media post by saying the “countdown to the next Bitcoin vertical move has begun.” Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com

A self-described prophet who had received a “prophecy” of XRP has laid out a four-stage price roadmap for the cryptocurrency that could see it jump $100 and end at $10,000. A crypto enthusiast on X has brought these predictions back into the spotlight, pointing to a growing list of the prophet’s past calls that came true as reason enough to stop dismissing XRP’s bullish outlook. XRP Price Prophecy Breakdown A crypto commentator, DooriDoori, on X has ignited a new discussion in the crypto community after sharing a detailed breakdown of a bold XRP price prophecy. DooriDoori linked this foretelling to a figure named Brandon Biggs, a self-proclaimed prophet who apparently had no prior knowledge about XRP’s existence but received a divine vision outlining a bullish roadmap for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Breaks Legendary 14-Year Support, What This Means For The Market According to DooriDoori, Biggs turned to Google to research XRP after receiving a prophecy, seeking to understand what the cryptocurrency was. He urged market watchers, investors, and traders not to ignore the forecast, underscoring his strong belief in its optimistic outlook for XRP. Notably, DooriDoori detailed Biggs’ prophecy as a four-staged roadmap, charting XRP’s rise through multiple key price milestones. The sequence reportedly begins with early targets near $5, moves to $10, and then skyrockets to approximately $150 and $10,000. At XRP’s trading price near $1.37 at the time of writing, the first milestone alone would require a 264% or 3.65x rally, while reaching $10 would represent a 630% or 7.3x return for current holders. Additionally, DooriDoori noted that a jump to $150 from current levels would reflect a staggering 10,843% or 109.5x surge. The final target of $10,000 is nearly 7,300 times XRP’s current price—a figure that sounds extreme until measured against Bitcoin’s historic $100,000 run from $1 in 2009 to six figures in 2024. DooriDoori intentionally draws a direct comparison between XRP and Bitcoin, framing skepticism over the prophesied targets as a repeat of when people dismissed Bitcoin at $1 more than 16 years ago. The crypto commentator shared that Biggs did not provide any timeline for his XRP price forecast, simply saying, “one day, it will happen.” DooriDoori also emphasized that the projection is not backed by any technical analysis, charts, or historical patterns, but is based purely on Biggs’ prophesied vision. What Gives The Prophecy Weight Biggs’ XRP price target alone likely would not have garnered the level of attention DooriDoori’s post received, as the crypto market is constantly flooded with bullish forecasts. What truly drove the strong interest and belief in his projected price roadmap is Biggs’ track record of reportedly making accurate predictions. Related Reading: Pundit Who Predicted Ethereum Price Bottom Reveals What To Expect Next DooriDoori noted that Biggs had forecasted the assassination attempt on US President Donald Trump roughly four months before it happened. The self-proclaimed prophet also named five cryptocurrencies in his original prophecy, specifically Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. According to DooriDoori, the Trump administration formally recognized all five assets in March 2025 as part of the newly established US strategic crypto reserve.

Bitcoin’s recent price stagnation reflects a market grappling with uncertainty, and confidence being tested not just by economic forces but also by political influence. At the center of this tension is Donald Trump, whose unpredictable remarks on cryptocurrency policy have injected fresh volatility into an already sensitive market. How Bitcoin Struggles For Direction As Uncertainty Deepens The Bitcoin market is currently in a pause and indecision, with price action reflecting broader uncertainty. A crypto trader and investor, EliZ, pointed out on X that a significant factor contributing to this hesitation is the steady stream of unpredictable statements from US President Donald Trump. Related Reading: Bitcoin Monthly Timeframe Signals A Potential Market Shift Currently, BTC is in a clear stalemate below the $70,500 to $71,000 zone, where sellers are constantly stepping in to hold the price and prevent a bullish surge. At the same time, the $68,000 level is acting as support, but if decisively breached, it could open the door for a deeper decline. Adding to the complexity, the price is currently reacting around the 0.75 retracement level, which earlier triggered a sharp rally on the liquidity sweep. This movement suggests the market is actively searching for equilibrium without a clear direction. EliZ emphasized that patience remains the most strategic approach. Rather than forcing trades in an uncertain market, it is better to remain on the sidelines until a clear signal emerges. The Bitcoin price is currently approaching the next key pivot, expected to happen on the 25th. An analyst known as LP on X has highlighted that, over the last 8 occurrences, 6 have resulted in local lows, while only 2 have formed highs, giving this pivot a clear tendency to mark local bottom. However, the context remains crucial. If BTC price trends upward into the pivot, the probability would shift toward forming a local high. On the other hand, if the price moves lower into the pivot, the odds will further favor a local low bottom forming. In essence, how the price develops into the pivot will be critical. On average, this pivot has produced moves of around 8-9%, highlighting it’s a significant level to watch. A Defining Moment For Bitcoin’s Market Structure Bitcoin is now undergoing a crucial retest of the 200-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA). However, given how unreliable the EMA has been as resistance in recent weeks, it is worth keeping a healthy dose of skepticism while BTC is attempting to reclaim the 200-week EMA and flip it into support, according to Rekt Capital. Related Reading: Bitcoin Market Not Ready For Expansion Yet — Blockchain Firm Rekt argues that the new weekly close will determine whether the retest of the 200-week EMA will regain its historical significance or will continue to act as an uncertain barrier in the current cycle.
