Dogecoin just endured a sharp weekend drawdown, slipping back below the $0.20s after failing to extend its early October rebound. This decline was enough to wipe out many weeks of steady gains and shake retail sentiment. However, amid the volatility, the monthly chart is still bullish. Despite the weekend crash, Dogecoin is well above its 25-month moving average and is trading near the same structural zone that preceded past parabolic rallies. This setup caught the attention of a technical analyst on X known as EᴛʜᴇʀNᴀꜱʏᴏɴᴀL, who pointed out that the same pattern that preceded Dogecoin’s 36,000% breakout in 2021 has now resurfaced. Historical Structure Reappears On Dogecoin’s Chart According to the analyst’s long-term monthly chart, Dogecoin has repeatedly entered explosive bull runs after exhibiting three major technical conditions: a breakout from a prolonged falling trend, sustained trading above the 25MA, and a successful retest phase that confirms structural strength. Each of these setups has led to massive price expansions, most notably the 36,000% surge that catapulted DOGE from fractions of a cent to its May 2021 all-time high of $0.7316. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price: ‘$6.9 Is A Magnet’, Analyst Predicts As shown in the chart below, the same technical conditions are playing out again. The falling trendline that had capped Dogecoin’s growth since mid-2021 has already been broken, and the price is well positioned above the 25MA. The ongoing consolidation is representing the retest phase, the same period that preceded the last two major parabolic runs in 2017 and 2021. Another important observation highlighted by the analyst is that each historical breakout was preceded by what is referred to as the NGMI (Not Gonna Make It) phase. This is typically when Dogecoin is trading sideways or dipping slightly after breaking out of its multi-month falling trendline. Will History Repeat For DOGE? As it stands, Dogecoin’s monthly price pattern is now back to trading around this downward trendline, which it broke above in late 2024. The latest candlestick wick, which was created with Dogecoin’s recent fall to $0.18, saw it touching this trendline again very briefly.

The technical alignment, a combination of price stability above the 25MA, the breakout from a long-term downtrend, and the retest confirmation, means that momentum is still quietly building beneath the surface. Although no chart can guarantee a repetition of the 2021 magnitude, EᴛʜᴇʀNᴀꜱʏᴏɴᴀL’s technical outlook provides a compelling argument that Dogecoin’s larger bullish cycle is still intact. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.201, down by 5.2% and 23% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Veteran chartist Peter Brandt has shifted his view on XRP, moving from a short-lived bearish stance to a more positive outlook as the token tries to recover from a sharp market drop. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Breaks 13-Year Silence, Moves $33 Million To Exchange According to recent reports, XRP fell to $1.55 Friday, Oct. 10 during the sell-off, then bounced back into the mid-$2 range as traders reassessed the situation. Brandt Revises Technical Take Brandt shared a long-term weekly chart covering 2013 to 2025. The chart shows years of sideways action that formed large triangle shapes before big moves. Between 2014 and 2017, XRP was held inside a symmetrical triangle and then broke out in March 2017, which preceded a run up to $3.30 by January 2018. That historical backdrop is being used now as a roadmap by some traders who see patterns repeating. Brandt’s recent update came after he had earlier listed XRP among possible short targets; he later said he closed his short for a profit and has since turned bullish. As a student of classical charting principles and history, has there ever been a purer long-term chart? $XRP pic.twitter.com/rbA2Mp955A — Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) October 13, 2025 Channel Pattern After The Breakout Data shows a break above the triangle took place during the November 2024 rally. After that move, XRP entered a parallel channel where prices moved back and forth. The crash around Oct. 10 pushed XRP down to test the lower line of that channel, and the rebound has been built off that same support. At one point Brandt had XRP trading near $2.64, under its one-week simple moving average of $2.83, and it has been reported to have corrected further to about $2.55 at press time. Market strength is still thin; the Average Directional Index sits at 21.5, which points to a trend that is forming but not yet strong. On-Chain Signal Shows Traders Selling At A Loss Based on reports from Xaif Crypto, the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) for XRP dropped to a level last seen six months ago. That drop indicates many holders sold at a loss during the crash. ???? #XRP SOPR just dropped to 0.95 lowest in 6 months! Last time SOPR hit 0.92 (Apr 7), XRP bounced +35% from $1.90 → $2.58.

(@Xaif_Crypto) October 13, 2025 Market watchers say a fall in SOPR can mark capitulation and sometimes precedes a recovery if buyers step in. During the sell-off, XRP slid nearly 44% from $2.8 to roughly $1.58, according to trading data, but it has since climbed back toward the $2.5 region as sellers have been absorbed.

The Blockchain Recovery Investment Consortium (BRIC), a partnership between GXD Labs and VanEck, announced on Tuesday a significant development in Celsius’ bankruptcy case. Tether (USDT) has agreed to pay a major amount to the crypto lender’s bankruptcy estate following an adversary proceeding that was initiated last year. Tether Settles Billion Dollar Lawsuit This settlement marks a significant milestone in the ongoing legal saga surrounding Celsius, which filed for bankruptcy in July 2022. Celsius had previously accused Tether of mishandling collateral and liquidations, claiming 39,542 BTC (approximately $4.3 billion at the time) along with an additional $100 million in damages, which constituted their largest third-party claim. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reset Complete? Ostium Foresees Explosive Move To $133,000 As previously reported by Bitcoinist, Celsius asserted that Tether’s actions exemplified a broader “scheme to exploit the US cryptocurrency market,” a position they believed could support jurisdiction in this case. In response to the allegations, Tether characterized the lawsuit as a “shake down,” asserting that Celsius was responsible for providing additional collateral in light of fluctuating Bitcoin prices at the time. Tether maintained that Celsius’s mismanagement should not result in undue costs for them. Significant Return For Celsius Bankruptcy Creditors Ultimately, the settlement allows Tether to resolve the matter for a fraction of the initial amount claimed by Celsius, with nearly $300 million expected to be recovered, providing a notable return for creditors involved in the bankruptcy proceedings. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino also commented on the settlement on social media site X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Tether is pleased to have reached a settlement of all issues related to the Celsius bankruptcy.” Related Reading: Decades In The Making: Crypto Exchange Predicts When Shiba Inu Price Will Reach $0.01 David Proman, Managing Partner of GXD Labs, also expressed satisfaction with the resolution. “We are pleased to have resolved Celsius’s adversary proceeding and related claims against Tether,” he stated.

Bitcoin continues to trade with high volatility following Friday’s brutal crash that sent prices as low as $103,000. Over the weekend, the market has struggled to find a clear direction, with bulls and bears locked in a tense battle around the $115,000 level. Sentiment remains divided — some analysts expect a consolidation phase before another leg higher, while others warn of a deeper correction if selling pressure intensifies. Related Reading: Binance Stablecoin Supply Surges To Record $42B: Liquidity Flows Back Into Markets Adding to the uncertainty, new data from on-chain analytics firm Lookonchain has revealed massive withdrawals by wallets linked to Matrixport, a major crypto financial services platform. The move has sparked heavy speculation across the market, with investors debating whether this represents institutional accumulation, treasury reallocation, or preparation for potential selling. Matrixport, founded by former Bitmain co-founder Jihan Wu, is known for managing large-scale digital asset operations. As such, its actions often draw attention from analysts tracking institutional flows. For now, Bitcoin remains in a delicate position — consolidating near support, while large-scale whale movements keep traders on edge. Institutions Adjust Positions as Market Enters Choppy Phase As Bitcoin struggles to reclaim its recent all-time highs above $125,000, institutional activity has started to reflect a more cautious tone. The market appears to be entering a choppy, directionless phase — one defined by profit-taking, reallocation, and controlled derisking rather than panic. Long-term holders, who have accumulated substantial gains throughout the year, are beginning to trim positions, locking in profits as volatility remains elevated and macroeconomic uncertainty grows. The recent Matrixport activity fits neatly into this broader institutional trend. On-chain data from Lookonchain revealed that wallets linked to Matrixport withdrew 4,000 BTC (roughly $454 million) from Binance within 20 hours, a move that quickly caught the attention of traders and analysts. Such large transfers from exchanges are typically interpreted as a sign of strategic repositioning — either moving assets to custody, deploying them for institutional clients, or reallocating capital in response to shifting market dynamics. This follows a pattern seen across major crypto players in recent weeks. Institutional entities appear to be rotating funds, managing risk more proactively, and rebalancing exposure amid the heightened volatility triggered by Friday’s market crash. The broader context suggests not an exodus, but rather a strategic phase of recalibration. In essence, the Matrixport withdrawal underscores a market in transition — one where large players are still active but far more selective. As Bitcoin hovers between $113K and $118K, the coming days could define whether this cautious accumulation transforms into renewed confidence or if continued derisking keeps BTC trapped in consolidation before its next decisive move.

The daily chart shows BTC trading around $111,800, down roughly 3% in the last 24 hours, as volatility remains elevated following last week’s sharp correction. The 50-day moving average (blue line) has started to flatten, signaling a potential short-term shift in momentum, while the 100-day MA (green line) is acting as dynamic support near $111,000. A decisive breakdown below this area could expose Bitcoin to a deeper correction toward the 200-day MA (red line), currently sitting around $106,000 — a level that has historically served as a strong accumulation zone. Related Reading: Bitmine Receives 23,823 Ethereum From BitGo As Institutional Accumulation Continues On the upside, bulls must reclaim $117,500 to regain control and reestablish a bullish structure. However, the repeated failures to sustain above this range reflect growing indecision and possible profit-taking by institutions and long-term holders. The market appears to be consolidating within a broad range, with traders awaiting confirmation of direction. A clean push above $117,500 would open the door for recovery, while a close below $110,000 could increase bearish momentum in the short term. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto exchange Changelly has predicted when the Shiba Inu price could delete three extra zeros and rally to as high as $0.01. Based on the prediction, the top meme coin is still over a decade away from achieving this milestone, even as it currently underperforms in this market cycle. When The Shiba Inu Price Could Hit $0.01 Changelly predicted in a blog post that the Shiba Inu price could reach $0.01 by September 2040. Specifically, they highlighted $0.0106 as the maximum price that SHIB could reach by then. Meanwhile, the crypto exchange projects that the meme coin could still reach $0.0139 by year-end 2040, highlighting that price level as the maximum for December 2040. Related Reading: Why The Shiba Inu Consolidation Could End Rapidly With An Explosive Price Rally The crypto exchange also expects the Shiba Inu price to record further upside from that level, predicting that the meme coin could reach a maximum price of $0.0177 by year-end 2050. This marks a gain of 160809.1% from the meme coin’s current price level. The SHIB burn is one of the mechanisms the SHIB community has adopted to achieve the $0.01 target for the meme coin. The Shiba Inu burn tracker explained that reducing the number of tokens in circulation could increase the Shiba Inu price over time. The platform added that the community’s goal is to raise the meme coin’s price to $0.01. According to the Shiba Inu burn tracker, SHIB’s circulating supply needs to be 224 trillion for it to get to this price target. Therefore, 61.98% of the meme coin’s circulating supply must be removed from circulation, representing 589.5 trillion tokens. SHIB currently has a circulating supply of 589.24 trillion, indicating there is still a long way to go before the meme coin reaches its 224 trillion target. However, the meme coin would also have to witness significant demand for these burns to have an impact on the Shiba Inu price. A Recovery Is On The Cards For SHIB Crypto analyst Javon Marks stated that a more than 150% recovery move to $0.000032 is on the cards for the Shiba Inu price based on a bullish divergence that has formed for the meme coin. This comes as SHIB continues to struggle, with the meme coin one of the top altcoins with a year-to-date (YTD) loss. Crypto analyst SHIB Knight said that the first target for the Shiba Inu price as part of its recovery is $0.00001209, which is the former accumulation zone. The analyst noted that when the market turns positive, SHIB is often among the first to recover. He claimed that this is mainly because of the strength of the SHIB Army.

Ostium Labs’ Market Outlook #55 argues that Bitcoin’s higher-timeframe bull structure survived last week’s volatility and now points “back to the highs,” provided spot holds above $107,000. “Whilst we trade above $107k, I think the next move is back to the highs, with $112k likely to act as local support,” the note states, adding that the firm still expects price to trade into “that confluence of overhead resistance at $133k by month-end.” The team frames last week’s deleveraging as the “great reset,” contending that the largest liquidation event in crypto history removed excess leverage without breaking weekly structure. On the weekly chart, no major support was lost and the wick down to roughly $107,000 was reclaimed into a $115,000 close, which Ostium reads as confirmation that momentum remains bullish on higher timeframes. Invalidation is precise: “A weekly close below last week’s low is now the obvious invalidation… close through $107k… and we have a more pressing concern, where we undoubtedly then trade into $99k.” On the daily, Ostium notes a classic sweep-and-reversal sequence. Price twice tagged the prior range high near $126.3k, failed to hold above $123.8k, and then “collapsed,” ultimately wicking into the 200-day moving average—an area the desk had flagged as a likely terminal level for any early-October capitulation. The view from here is unambiguous: “Anyone expecting sub-$100k will remain sidelined for a long time—if you didn’t get it on the largest liquidation event in crypto history, I don’t think you’re getting it until we enter a bear market.” Tactical invalidation on this timeframe is a daily close below the 200-DMA, which would put the 360-DMA near $100,000 in play and constitute Ostium’s “line in the sand for a full-blown flip into bear market territory.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Weekly Preview: Trump’s Tariff Playbook Is Back — Here’s How To Trade It Path dependency matters for the upside call. Ostium expects prior highs around $112,000 to act as support and form a higher low, with “acceptance back above ~$116k” setting a rotation to the top of the range at $123.8k and then “price discovery beyond that.” The desk’s near-term timing is surprisingly punchy: “Gun to my head I think we trade $125k by early next week and $133k by month-end.” For traders, the preferred long setup is early-week weakness into $110k–$112k to establish a higher low, using a daily close below $107k (hard stop $105k) as risk, and targeting at least $121k with scope for much higher. A counter-trend short, by contrast, would require a grind up into the $121k confluence, a rejection and daily close back below $118k, and then a fade into the $110k–$112k zone—only if the higher-low hasn’t already formed. Positioning evidence, in Ostium’s view, buttresses the reset-then-extend thesis. The firm highlights obliterated open interest, Binance Net Longs back to “Liberation Day” lows, compressed three-month annualized basis, and fresh liquidation maps for one-week and one-month horizons—all consistent with a cleaner tape for trend continuation. The calendar this week is dense but navigable: a speech-heavy week (Powell, Bailey, Lagarde), the NY Empire State Manufacturing print, the Philadelphia Fed survey, and US Industrial Production. Ostium’s framework treats these events as potential catalysts rather than trend definers; so long as $107,000 holds and $112,000 functions as a springboard, the structural bias remains higher toward $133,000. At the core of the thesis is a binary investor psychology after the purge. “These sorts of events mark turning points: either you are now cemented in your belief that… the bear market has begun… or you are cemented in your belief that the leverage washout gives us the runway for higher for longer prices into Q1 next year,” Ostium writes. The desk is firmly in the latter camp, reiterating that Bitcoin “looks more bullish today than it did at the beginning of last week.” Briefly beyond Bitcoin, Ostium’s cross-asset read tilts supportive for the crypto beta complex if near-term conditions align. For Ethereum, weekly structure “looks nothing like a top,” with a decisive close above trendline resistance and $4,400 expected to trigger an all-time-high breakout; the team believes “ETH trades through $4,950 within 10 days… toward $5,750 in November,” and sees the Q4 low as likely in. Related Reading: Bitcoin Direction Still Unclear: Analyst Says Watch These Key Charts On ETH/BTC, the desk calls last week’s flush into 0.0319 a higher-low and anticipates ETH outperformance into year-end, contingent on reclaiming 0.0375 and eventually breaking the trendline—a dynamic that, if realized, could cap BTC dominance without undermining Bitcoin’s own trend. The DXY rally is viewed as late-stage: resistance near 100 and a looming rollover would reduce macro headwinds for risk assets. For US equities, Ostium still expects “higher for longer,” eyeing fresh SPX highs by month-end and a strong November as buyback blackouts end and earnings season progresses; improving equity breadth tends to coincide with constructive crypto flows. Finally, in “OTHERS,” the altcoin index printed a historic wick to the 360-week MA before reclaiming support; with derivatives positioning “utterly decimated,” Ostium now expects a higher local low, a November reclaim of the yearly open near $335bn, and, if confirmed, a push toward cycle and ATH resistance—conditions that usually track with a healthier, less fragile Bitcoin uptrend. Taken together, the desk’s message is consistent across timeframes and assets: the reset did its job, the invalidation is clear at $107,000, $112,000 should be the pivot, and the upside waypoint is $133,000, with the macro calendar more likely to modulate the path than to derail the destination. As Ostium summarizes, “Whilst we trade above $107k… the next move is back to the highs.” At press time, BTC traded at $111,509. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

What to Know: Brian Q at Santiment highlights ‘crowd FUD’ as a major driver of bullish surges Crypto market is still largely fear- and emotion-driven Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) could be in a prime position to take advantage of any big $BTC move In 2025, ‘crowd FUD’ is driving the market. The mass panic, fear, uncertainty, and doubt among retail investors in response to political or macro news causes corrections and sharp pullbacks – but within a short time, FUD soon gives way to FOMO. Analysts are beginning to treat it as a potential contrarian indicator: when the crowd is at its most fearful, it may be a signal to buy – and Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is ready to take advantage. Trump’s Tariffs: Catalyst for Panic and Rebound A recent flashpoint occurred when U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on China. The announcement triggered a sharp sell-off across crypto markets as retail investors rushed to exit. But as soon as the markets cooled and officials clarified that the tariffs weren’t set in stone, many of those ‘feared’ positions were covered and prices rebounded. According to Santiment analyst Brian Q, retail traders often act on emotion, moving opposite to where more experienced investors position themselves. In events like these, when panic peaks, institutional or savvy traders see opportunities to scoop up value. A Recurring Pattern in 2025 This event is not unique. Throughout 2025, several political and macro developments have prompted similar cycles of FUD-driven sell-offs and subsequent recoveries. Among them: In April, the first wave of global tariff threats unsettled markets. In June, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East heightened fears. In August, uncertainty over whether the U.S. Federal Reserve would cut rates triggered renewed volatility. Each of these moments saw elevated fear, followed by buyers stepping in once the panic cooled. Survey data underscores this phenomenon. A December 2024 survey of over 1,200 crypto users by Kraken found: 81% of respondents admitted that FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) influenced their investing decisions 63% conceded that emotional decisions harmed their portfolios Meanwhile, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a sentiment gauge ranging from 0 (extreme fear) to 100 (extreme greed), has recently lingered in the fear zone (around 38 or lower). That tracks with the market volatility. Analysts’ Take: Risk and Reward Analysts like Brian Q propose that peaks in crowd FUD can be signals to accumulate, on the logic that panic-driven sell-offs often overshoot fundamentals. The cycle tends to be: News or political shock triggers panic Retail exits en masse Institutional or value-focused investors buy in Fear subsides and prices recover Retail returns, often chasing momentum The timing and depth of rebounds can vary, and what appears to be panic could be rooted in genuine macroeconomic headwinds or regulatory changes. Still, viewing FUD as an opportunity rather than a headwind could be a major step forward, highlighting why downturns are precisely the right time to explore the best new crypto projects. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) could be uniquely positioned to double down on the next FUD-fueled $BTC surge. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Fastest, Cheaper Bitcoin Payments for Next-Gen Crypto Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) takes all of Bitcoin’s weaknesses and turns them into strengths: Lack of scalability? Bitcoin deposited on an SVM-powered canonical bridge becomes wrapped Bitcoin on the Bitcoin Hyper Layer 2. Slow transaction speeds? Bitcoin Hyper allows transactions at Solana’s several thousand TPS, not Bitcoin’s 7 TPS. Low throughput? The SVM boasts high throughput and minimal fees, making microtransactions a practical option. All of those improvements don’t come at the expense of Bitcoin’s natural advantages; you’ll still get the security and stability of Bitcoin with all Hyper transactions finally resolving on the original layer 1. It’s more than just an idea; Bitcoin Hyper’s potential – and the chance to supercharge Bitcoin’s next run – is drawing investors to the presale in droves. Major whale buys include a massive $379K $HYPER purchase, while another investor added their own $32K purchase in the last 24 hours. Learn how to buy Bitcoin Hyper with our guide and see why the $23.5M presale could just be the beginning of $HYPER’s story. Tokens currently cost $0.013115, but that price won’t last. Our price prediction indicates that the token may reach $0.02595 by the end of the year. Be sure to visit the Bitcoin Hyper presale page for the latest information. If crowd sentiment is becoming a driver of crypto market flow, then political events, tariff policy shifts, central bank decisions, and regulatory noise will likely continue to be focal points. Monitoring measures such as the Fear & Greed Index, social media sentiment, and institutional inflows can help anticipate when FUD is peaking – and when it’s time to invest in the best altcoins to buy. Do your own research; this isn’t financial advice. Authored by Aaron Walker for NewsBTC – https://www.newsbtc.com/news/when-the-people-panic-why-crowd-fud-is-a-big-buy-signal
