Analysts note that the XRP price is showing unusual resilience, as a key metric previously seen before short-term rebounds reappears on its chart. In a new technical analysis, crypto market expert Dom points out that the latest market setup mirrors conditions that have led to at least a 10% surge each time this pattern emerges. Recurring Metric Signals 10% XRP Price Surge In an X post released while XRP was still trading around $2.19, Dom highlighted a familiar technical signal, noting that past appearances of a bid-skew metric on the chart have consistently led to sharp price recoveries. As a reflection of its previous stability, the analyst stated the XRP had displayed incredible strength over the last several days, trading above the $2 level.

Even as the Bitcoin price plummeted by more than $15,000 in the past few days, the analyst pointed out that XRP had maintained its local low from November 5. The accompanying chart highlights this divergence between XRP and BTC, where the altcoin’s structure holds its range despite the widespread market downturn. Historically, when XRP has shown such strength during periods of Bitcoin weakness, Dom notes that it has signaled countless price reversals. The analyst further highlighted that over the past three months, every time the recurring bid-skew pattern appeared, XRP followed with an upswing of at least 10%. If the historical metric holds, Dom’s analysis suggests there could be a continuation of XRP’s recent resilience, potentially driving its price up by 10% to at least $2.09. At the time of the analyst’s post, this target may have been higher, since XRP was still trading above $2. However, the cryptocurrency has since fallen below that threshold, reaching $1.9 at the time of writing. XRP CVD Data Reveals Controlled Selling Pressure In a subsequent update, Dom shared a second chart, showing that XRP’s price had declined from its previous level of $2.19 to $2.01. He highlighted that this negative price action serves as a reminder that market dynamics don’t always follow textbook patterns. The recent decline in XRP also falls into roughly 15% of cases where typical orderbook signals fail to predict short-term moves. Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Needs To Be To Flip Bitcoin In the Binance spot market, Dom points out evidence of “controlled” selling rather than forced liquidations. Unlike earlier periods where strong bids consistently led to upward price momentum, XRP’s Spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) curves on Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, and other exchanges are sloping downwards. Moreover, among all the crypto exchanges, Binance has recorded the most decline. Dom notes that controlled selling can be seen clearly in the smoothed cumulative volume lines on the chart. He warns that these developments are tricky to time. Moreover, without a sudden climax or sharp liquidation, bottoming could form slowly, making entries based on traditional reversal signals more challenging.

Bitcoin is struggling to find support after losing the $85,000 level and plunging to $81,000, marking its weakest point since early spring. Bulls have clearly lost control of the trend, and fear now dominates the market, with sentiment rapidly shifting from caution to outright panic. Many traders are calling for a confirmed bear market, while others argue the move is an orchestrated shakeout designed to flush out weak hands before the next macro leg. Related Reading: Bitcoin OG Owen Gunden Deposits Final 2,499 BTC ($228M) to Kraken – Details Amid the chaos, top analyst Axel Adler shared new insights that highlight a structural shift beneath the surface. Until just yesterday, short-term holders (STHs) appeared relatively stable despite the correction. However, the situation has now changed dramatically. The Realized P/L component — which measures whether investors are selling at a profit or loss — has fallen to –1, signaling broad loss realization across the STH cohort. This metric turning negative for the first time in weeks confirms that capitulation among recent buyers is accelerating, a dynamic that historically increases pressure on the spot market. Although the sell-off is severe, some analysts argue that these conditions resemble previous manipulation-driven liquidity grabs, where deep corrections eventually set the foundation for sharp rebounds. STH Panic Mirrors Past Cyclical Bottom Signals Adler explains that the latest spike in short-term holder (STH) panic is not an isolated event — it closely resembles patterns seen during previous market bottoms. The chart clearly shows that similar surges in STH loss realization occurred in July 2021 and again throughout the 2022–2023 bear market, each time leading to accelerated selling, liquidity stress, and deeper short-term corrections. These phases were marked by fear-driven capitulation, where recent buyers dumped coins rapidly, often exaggerating the downside but ultimately exhausting available sell pressure. Today, that same structure is reappearing. With STH Realized P/L dropping sharply and the STH-MVRV ratio sitting below 1, fear has pushed many recent entrants into loss, triggering panic moves. Adler notes that this kind of forced selling tends to cluster near the end of corrections, not the beginning. Once STHs capitulate, the market often shifts into a period of stabilization as long-term holders absorb supply. Despite extreme sentiment across social and derivative markets, several analysts argue that this setup could create the conditions for a recovery. Historically, when STH panic peaks and long-term holders remain steady, Bitcoin has often staged strong rebounds in the weeks that follow. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mean Reversion Oscillator Prints First Green Oversold Bar in Months – A Classic Bull-Market Bottom Signal BTC Testing Key Demand Levels Bitcoin has entered a steep downtrend, and the chart clearly reflects the intensity of the current sell-off. BTC has dropped to the $83K–$84K range, marking one of the sharpest declines of this cycle. The breakdown accelerated once price lost the $92K and $90K supports, and the chart now shows a near-vertical move to the downside — a classic sign of capitulation-driven selling. On the daily timeframe, BTC is trading well below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. All three have begun sloping downward, forming a full bearish alignment that signals weakening momentum across multiple time horizons. Price is currently attempting to stabilize around the 200-day moving average (red line), one of the last major trend supports in a macro bull structure. A clean close below this level could open the door to deeper downside. Related Reading: Bitcoin Capitulation Deepens Around $90K Level: Classic Late-Stage Fear Structure Emerging Volume has spiked aggressively over the past sessions, confirming panic participation. Unlike earlier corrections, this one shows sustained distribution without meaningful bounces, suggesting forced selling from short-term holders and large entities. However, the chart also shows early signs of selling exhaustion. Candles are printing long lower wicks, and intraday volatility has increased — conditions that often precede a temporary bottom.

The XRP price has spent the past week struggling with bearish momentum, and the latest dip below the $2 price level has further added to the bearish sentiment. The cryptocurrency briefly slid under this psychological level in the past 24 hours, continuing a multi-week sequence of lower highs and lower lows. Despite this pullback, one crypto analyst on X proposes that the current movement is not as alarming as it appears. His price chart, which maps XRP’s weekly candles, shows the XRP price falling to a familiar support area inside a larger descending channel. XRP Price Still Trading Inside A Year-Long Range XRP’s break below $2 might be the final blow for many bullish traders, but some are still holding on. In his breakdown, the analyst reminded followers that XRP has been moving within the same broad range between $1.90 and $3.50 for nearly a year. According to him, the recent drop to the lower boundary of this range is simply the market revisiting an already-established zone. Related Reading: Here’s The Resistance Zone Keeping The Dogecoin Price From Rallying He highlighted the green support region around $1.90, which has repeatedly prevented a deeper collapse throughout late 2024 and early 2025. The chart he shared shows XRP’s weekly candles inching toward that support, touching the edge of the descending yellow channel that has shaped price action since the last major rejection near the red resistance band above $3. Keeping this price action and the price range in mind, the analyst noted that nothing meaningful changes unless XRP breaks below $1.90 A breakdown beneath this area, in his words, would send XRP “back to McDonald’s,” which is a far more severe retracement. However, as long as the green support is in place, the ongoing decline can be categorized as noise inside a larger consolidation phase. On the opposite end of the chart sits the $3.60 resistance. The red zone marking this area was tested earlier in the year but rejected strongly, creating the broad range XRP has been stuck in ever since. Clearing this ceiling, the analyst said, would unlock what he called “the road to Valhalla.” XRP Price Chart. Source: @stedas On X The Road To Valhalla: What Comes After A Break Above $3.6 If XRP manages to break through the $3.60barrier, the analyst believes the path opens toward aggressive upside targets. His post listed potential milestones at $7, $12, and potentially even $25 if momentum expands into a full-scale rally. The yellow upward projection line in the chart illustrates how quickly XRP could move once that resistance is flipped into support.

Dogecoin has struggled to find support in recent days, falling below $0.15 and now at risk of losing the $0.14 level, adding pressure to an already weakened structure. Notably, Dogecoin’s weekly chart shows the cryptocurrency approaching the lower boundary of its long-term channel. This setup is the basis of a new analysis from crypto analyst ÐOGECAPITAL, who argues that Dogecoin is now sitting in the same zone that preceded its strongest rallies in past cycles. His chart, which accompanies the post, highlights how Dogecoin is still on track for a 6,500% price surge. Dogecoin’s Long-Term Channel At Opportunity Zone In his post, ÐOGECAPITAL noted that Dogecoin is currently sitting within the lowest 5% of its long-term uptrend channel that goes as far back as 2014. Only a handful of moments in the past decade have featured price action this low relative to the trend, and each instance preceded some of Dogecoin’s strongest cycles. Related Reading: Dogecoin Cup And Handle Pattern Is Returning, What Happens To Price If It’s Completed? The chart provided by the analyst, which is also shown below, marks the 2017 and 2021 surges with arrows showing how the price rebounded sharply each time it touched or hovered near this line before exploding upward. The same setup is forming again. The channel lines reflect years of higher highs and higher lows despite market cycles, and the most recent decline appears to be pressing against a region that has defined Dogecoin’s resilience. Even though the drop below $0.15 appears concerning on lower timeframes, the long-term structure shows Dogecoin retesting an area that has repeatedly served as a launchpad. Two Possible Paths DOGE Could Take From Here The analyst described two broad paths that Dogecoin may follow from its current position. His first scenario points to a strong rebound that begins at or just below current levels. Related Reading: Analyst Suggests Selling Bitcoin To Buy Dogecoin, Here’s Why If this behavior repeats the pattern of earlier cycles, Dogecoin could reverse from the lower channel line and start climbing gradually toward the mid-range of the channel. His second scenario outlines a slower recovery. Instead of a sudden surge, Dogecoin could extend its sideways movement along the lower boundary for several weeks or months. This would be a continuation of its current “crabwalking” structure, maintaining support but postponing any dramatic breakout. Such a path would still lead to upward progression but would produce a more extended market cycle without the blow-off top seen in previous rallies. Both scenarios outline an outlook where Dogecoin enters into an upward move that reaches as high as $10. The critical point is that both scenarios assume Dogecoin will maintain its structural support. Losing $0.14 would test the lower channel boundary more aggressively, but the broader pattern suggests that price is still trading within the same long-term framework that has been intact since 2014. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.141, down by 10.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
