XRP is once again at the center of discussion as analysts set big targets for the token. Some predictions say XRP could reach $10 to $13 in the coming months and possibly $20 to $25 by the end of the year, depending on how market conditions unfold. What Could Drive XRP Higher? Bitcoin’s recent move …
Bitcoin has been the undisputed leader of the crypto market, but the balance of power is starting to shift. Recent market moves indicate that Bitcoin’s dominance is slipping as altcoins surge into the spotlight, driven by institutional interest and network upgrades. While Bitcoin remains the anchor of the digital asset space, altcoins are carving out their own narratives, and investors are beginning to take notice. Bitcoin Consolidates While Altcoin Captures Momentum In an X post, full-time crypto trader and investor, Daan Crypto Trades, has been observing a significant trend in the crypto space. Bitcoin’s dominance (BTC.D) is still trending lower, which shows that altcoins are currently outperforming the market leader. Related Reading: Bitcoin Dominance Falls Below Critical Level For The First Time This Cycle, Altcoin Season Coming? Daan points to the possibility of a crazy end-of-cycle run for altcoins, which could see BTC dominance drop to the 48-49% level. He notes that this is a level where he would personally consider scaling out of his altcoin positions more aggressively. While Daan sees the potential for a short-term drop in Bitcoin’s dominance, he remains bullish on BTC and ETH for the long term. The expert emphasizes that these two assets will always be his main long-term holdings, and doesn’t expect them to lose a significant amount of market share over the next decade. However, their market share will likely increase over time, but that doesn’t mean traders get to play some nice volatility in between. Analyst Fabdarice has highlighted a compelling trend from 2025 on-chain data. Ethereum whale holdings are rising, while Bitcoin whale balances continue to trend down. This divergence mirrors the surge in institutional demand for ETH and the growing recognition that Ethereum is emerging as a credible store of value, not just a utility asset. For the first time, ETH and BTC are being treated as equals on the institutional playing field. Bitcoin remains the original reserve asset of crypto, but Ethereum’s dual role as both infrastructure and wealth preservation is reshaping investor behavior. The ETH/BTC Ratio As A Market Sentiment Indicator Popular crypto commentator CryptosRus has also provided a key insight into the current state of the market by highlighting the significant disparity between Ethereum’s and Bitcoin’s performance relative to each other. CryptosRus pointed out that the ETH and BTC ratio hit its all-time high of 0.148 on June 12, 2017, fueled by the ICO-mania bull run. Related Reading: Ethereum As The Default Crypto Backbone: The Real Reason Behind Tom Lee’s Pick However, the expert observes that in 2025, the ETH/BTC ratio averaged a mere 0.027, showing how much ground Ethereum has lost against Bitcoin over the years. Despite ETH’s role as the backbone of DeFi and its growing institutional presence, it has yet to repeat that level of relative dominance. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto analyst XForce has revealed that the Dogecoin price just broke a regional high, following its reclaim of the $0.3 level. In line with this, he predicted that the meme coin could rally to a new all-time high (ATH) and reach the psychological $1 level. Dogecoin Price Eyes 300% Rally To $1 Following Break Above Regional High In an X post, XForce predicted that the Dogecoin price could record a rally of over 300% to the psychological $1 level. This came as he noted that DOGE just broke above the previous regional high following its climb above $0.3 over the weekend. Based on this, the analyst declared that $1 is still programmed for the meme coin. Related Reading: The Dogecoin Bullish Reset: A Clear Roadmap To $0.35 XForce admitted that there will be pullbacks along the way, but he expects the Dogecoin price to reach this $1 level eventually. The analyst also drew attention to the alternative idea that could lead DOGE to double-digit prices if it continues as a strong impulse. His accompanying chart showed that the meme coin could rally to as high as $18. The Dogecoin price rallied over the weekend in anticipation of the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF, which will be the first fund to provide institutional investors with exposure to the foremost meme coin. This provides a bullish outlook for the meme coin, seeing as it could inject new liquidity into its ecosystem. Furthermore, the Fed is set to make the first rate cut this year at this week’s FOMC meeting, which could also be bullish for the Dogecoin price as it would boost risk-on sentiment. Amid this recent rally, crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto has also declared that the meme coin will reach $1 in this cycle. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that DOGE may consolidate for a bit around these levels before it makes its next leg up toward $0.45. Analyst Issues Warning On DOGE In an X post, crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto issued a warning on the Dogecoin price, noting that it is at the monthly supply at the moment. He further remarked that if DOGE isn’t breaking out, then it is technically just retesting the prior point of breakdown. Related Reading: What A Dogecoin ETF Approval Means For The Future Of Crypto CrediBULL Crypto stated that a great time to be bullish on the Dogecoin price and jump into longs was before this recent rally. Now, he believes that it is time to be more cautious, as this is the most likely place for DOGE to face a rejection and record lower highs if the bottom isn’t in yet. There is also the possibility that the meme coin could crash if the Fed rate cut and DOGE ETF launch turn out to be a ‘sell the news’ event. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.28, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin has gained 7% since the start of September, showing renewed strength after weeks of uneven price action. Yet, the market is bracing for heightened volatility in the coming days as attention shifts to this Wednesday’s Federal Reserve meeting. Investors widely expect a rate cut, but the size of the move remains the key question shaping sentiment. Related Reading: Three Whales Buy $205M Ethereum From FalconX: Institutional Flows Accelerate If the Fed opts for a 25 basis point cut, many analysts see it as a measured and healthy pivot that could support risk assets, including Bitcoin, without sparking fears of deeper economic weakness. Such a move would likely reinforce confidence in a controlled transition toward easier monetary policy. On the other hand, a 50 basis point cut could send a very different signal. While it may initially provide liquidity relief, markets could interpret it as a sign of serious underlying fragility in the economy. That scenario risks triggering panic, especially if investors fear the Fed is reacting to problems worse than expected. Bitcoin Holds Key Levels Ahead Of Fed’s Decision According to top analyst Axel Adler, Bitcoin is showing signs of resilience as it trades at the upper boundary of its channel near $116,400, supported by a sustained bullish momentum score of 0.8. This score, which reflects the balance of market forces, suggests that despite recent volatility, Bitcoin’s structural strength remains intact. Adler notes that the market is heavily driven by expectations of a rate cut, which has injected confidence into risk assets. The timing of this setup could not be more critical, with the Federal Reserve set to announce its interest rate decision on September 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Interestingly, while Bitcoin has held its ground at key resistance levels, altcoins have started to show strength independently for the first time in months. This decoupling suggests that capital rotation is taking place, with investors diversifying beyond Bitcoin. As liquidity expands, this dynamic could mark the start of a new market phase, where both Bitcoin and altcoins drive momentum instead of BTC alone. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crawls Up On Weak Supply: 30D Momentum Reveals It Lacks Real Demand Testing Key Resistance Levels Bitcoin is currently trading around $114,938, showing consolidation just below the $116,000 resistance zone. The chart highlights a notable rebound from early September lows near $110,000, with BTC climbing steadily back into its mid-range. Price is now attempting to hold gains above the 50-day moving average (blue line) and is hovering around the 100-day (green line) and 200-day (red line) moving averages, which are converging and creating a dense resistance cluster. This setup reflects a tense balance between bulls and bears. Bulls have managed to protect $110,000 and push BTC higher, signaling renewed strength. On the other hand, BTC has repeatedly failed to establish momentum above $116,000, a level that must be cleared decisively to target the major resistance near $123,217, marked on the chart as the next critical upside barrier.

A successful breakout above $116,000 could reignite momentum toward $120,000 and beyond. However, failure to hold above the 50-day SMA risks a retest of $112,000 or even $110,000 support. For now, Bitcoin remains range-bound, but pressure is building for a directional move. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
