Collapsed Ethereum treasury demand and stiff overhead resistance between $3,100 and $3,200 stood in the way of Ether’s recovery to $4,000.
XRP’s price pullback deepened this week, but a high-timeframe technical view keeps some traders hopeful. Based on reports from analyst Egrag Crypto, the monthly chart remains above the key 21-EMA, and that is being treated as the main guide for the coin’s long-term direction. Related Reading: Bitcoin Trail Ends: $29M Seized After European Authorities Shut Down Cryptomixer Monthly Chart Holds The Stronger Signal According to Egrag’s multi-timeframe review, seven key charts were checked and six trade below the 21-day Exponential Moving Average. The weaker frames include the four-hour, one-day, three-day, five-day, one-week, and two-week charts. XRP is trading at $2.18, up 8.5% over the last 24 hours, but shed a measly 0.8% on the weekly frame. That short-term fall explains the current mood among traders. Big Upside Targets On The Table Reports have disclosed that the analyst’s longer-term model keeps XRP inside a rising channel on the monthly chart. The model points to a target band between $9 and $13, and the analyst gives this outcome a 55–65% probability within three to six months if the monthly candle holds above its support. #XRP – The Chasm ( $13) – 7 Time Frames ( ????1/8): There is 1 Signal Matters Most. Right now, 6 time frames are bearish below the 21 EMA: 4H ⬇️ 1D ⬇️ 3D ⬇️ 5D ⬇️ 1W ⬇️ 2W⬇️ But there’s 1 KING timeframe still bullish: 1M (Monthly) ⬆️ Above the 21 EMA General Note: In TA,… pic.twitter.com/788Mk5u5Ng — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) December 1, 2025 From today’s price, reaching $9 would require roughly an over 4x rise, while $13 would mean close to 7-fold jump. Those are large moves and would likely need strong momentum to happen quickly. Other Analysts Offer Lower Near-Term Estimates Other analysts recently projected a $4 price in about four months or by the end of 2026, citing Ripple’s plan to launch RLUSD in Japan by Q1 2026 as one possible driver. Based on reports, spot XRP ETFs have bought over $756 million worth of the token in the weeks after their launch, a flow that some see as support for future gains. Escrow Release Draws Attention Meanwhile, on-chain data shows Ripple’s escrow unlocked 1 billion XRP for December in two equal transactions of 500 million each. The first transfer went to the Ripple (9) address on Tuesday. At the time of reporting, the Ripple (9) wallet held 500,000,204 XRP from that release. One of the 500 million batches was valued at about $1.08 billion at the moment it moved. These monthly unlocks are routine, but they are watched closely by markets because of the extra supply that can enter circulation.

Yet higher-timeframe momentum can shift quickly when buyers step in, and a single monthly close below or above the 21-EMA would change how analysts read the situation. Based on reports, holders who follow the monthly structure are being urged to stay patient, while others warn that short-term selling could extend before any sustained recovery.

Crypto analyst Tony Severino has revealed a historical bearish pattern that could send the Bitcoin price to as low as $42,000. This bearish outlook for BTC comes amid a rebound for the flagship crypto, with a recent surge above the psychological $90,000 level. Bitcoin Price Risks 50% Drop To $42,000 Based On This Pattern In an X post, Severino stated that the Bitcoin price likes to retrace to subwave 3/4 of wave 3/4 of its impulse. Based on this, the analyst indicated that BTC could crash to as low as $42,000 on wave C of this move to the downside. His accompanying chart showed that this decline could happen sometime at the start of next year. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Can Hit These ‘Realistic’ Bullish Targets Before The Bear Market Begins This bearish Bitcoin price prediction comes amid BTC’s rebound above $90,000 following the end of quantitative tightening (QT) by the U.S. Federal Reserve. The flagship crypto has also rebounded amid optimism of another rate cut at this month’s FOMC meeting. CME FedWatch data shows there is almost a 90% chance that the Fed will lower rates again this month. However, despite these macro positives for the Bitcoin price, analysts such as Tony Severino have suggested that BTC is in a bear market and is likely to trend lower in the coming months. In an X post, he highlighted the BTC monthly chart, suggesting it showed a subtle volume breakout that confirmed a “not-so-subtle” trendline breakdown. Meanwhile, market technician JT described statements that the QT ending is bullish for the Bitcoin price as being a “fallacy.” He alluded to the possibility that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) may hike rates this month as one of the stressors to liquidity beyond QT. Peter Brandt Predicts Drop To Mid $40ks In an X post, veteran trader and analyst Peter Brandt predicted that the Bitcoin price could drop to mid $40,000. He stated that the upper boundary of the lower green zone starts below $70,000 and that the lower support boundary is in the mid $40,000. Notably, Brandt had previously predicted that BTC could drop to around $50,000 before it then rallies to around $200,000 in the next bull market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Breaks Below 50-MA For The First Time This Cycle, Why A Crash To $38,000 Could Be Coming The veteran analyst noted that there have been five major bull market cycles for the Bitcoin price since its inception. He further stated that in all previous cycles, the violation of the dominant parabolic advance has been followed by a 75% plus correction with no exception. As such, he expects BTC to undergo another significant correction in this cycle, potentially dropping below $50,000. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $93,000, up almost 7% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

What to Know: Even as Bitcoin holds around $93K, Bitcoin’s base layer remains secure but slow, with high fees and no native smart contract environment, limiting real on-chain activity for everyday users. As demand for scalable on-chain applications grows, the lack of a high-speed execution layer around Bitcoin creates a structural gap for DeFi, gaming, and payments. Bitcoin Hyper introduces the first Bitcoin Layer 2 with SVM integration, targeting faster-than-Solana performance while leveraging Bitcoin as the settlement backbone. By delivering extremely low-latency execution, fast smart contracts, and Rust-based tooling, Bitcoin Hyper aims to make wrapped $BTC usable across DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. If you’re convinced Bitcoin is marching toward six figures, the bigger question is where the next asymmetric upside comes from. Right now, the world’s leading crypto is holding near $93K. History suggests the highest multiples don’t usually come from the base asset itself, but from the infrastructure built on top of it; think ERC-20 DeFi blue chips riding Ethereum’s 2020 breakout. Bitcoin’s problem is that it never had its own native DeFi and application stack to the same extent. Slow confirmation times, high fees during peak cycles, and the absence of native smart contracts have kept most real on-chain activity on other networks, even as Bitcoin dominates as a store of value and brand. That’s the gap Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is going after: a high-speed Bitcoin Layer 2 that brings Solana-style throughput directly to $BTC’s settlement layer. Instead of asking you to rotate out of Bitcoin into a ‘fast L1,’ Bitcoin Hyper is betting the next 1000x upside comes from plugging DeFi, gaming, and payments into Bitcoin’s existing liquidity. With a presale already into eight figures and early whales circling, Bitcoin Hyper is positioning itself as a bet not against Bitcoin, but on Bitcoin finally getting the performance layer it has been missing. For $BTC holders who want more than passive ‘number go up,’ that’s a compelling narrative to examine seriously. Bitcoin Hyper Turns BTC Into a High-Speed Application Layer Bitcoin Hyper is built for one simple outcome: letting you use Bitcoin like a modern, high-throughput network without abandoning Bitcoin’s security and brand. It introduces a dedicated Layer 2 that runs smart contracts using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) tooling, tuned to deliver faster performance than Solana itself for real-world transactions. For users, this translates into sub-second confirmation experiences and low fees on wrapped $BTC transfers, swaps, and dApps, rather than waiting on congested Bitcoin blocks. DeFi traders can move into pools, lending markets, and staking strategies at speed, while still ultimately settling back to Bitcoin as the base layer they trust via a Canonical Bridge. If you’re considering getting exposure, here’s a guide on how to buy Bitcoin Hyper. Developers get a Rust-based SDK and API to ship NFT platforms, gaming dApps, and high-frequency applications without fighting Bitcoin’s base-layer limitations. Bitcoin Hyper explicitly targets Solana-level speed while anchoring to Bitcoin, aiming to keep latency low enough for gaming and real-time apps. The presale has already pulled in $28.8M, a clear signal of early conviction behind the project’s thesis You can explore the Bitcoin Hyper presale now. Can $HYPER Be a 1000x for Bitcoin Maxis? If Bitcoin Hyper captures even a small portion of the broader Bitcoin DeFi and Layer 2 narrative market, our prediction suggests that $HYPER could reach $0.08625, delivering roughly 545% returns from the current presale price of $0.013365. That kind of upside depends on real usage, but the thesis is clear: bring Solana-like performance to where the Bitcoin liquidity already sits. You can read a Bitcoin Hyper price prediction breakdown for more scenario modeling. Momentum is already building around that idea. Whale buys include $500K, $379K, and $274K, all feeding into the $HYPER momentum. If Bitcoin does grind toward six figures over the next cycle, the infrastructure that lets $BTC behave like a modern programmable asset stands to benefit most. What is Bitcoin Hyper? The execution layer for crypto’s flagship: fast, cheap, and plugged directly into the world’s best-known crypto brand. The core opportunity here is simple: Bitcoin retains its role as pristine collateral and base money, while Bitcoin Hyper turns that collateral into something you can actually deploy across DeFi, gaming, and payments at high speed. If the market agrees that the next 1000x comes from building on Bitcoin rather than competing with it, $HYPER sits directly in that slipstream. Join the $HYPER presale now.
