The price of Zcash is recording one of the most astonishing rallies in the crypto market despite the ongoing bearish conditions. Over the past few weeks, we have seen a resurgence in the privacy narrative. Zcash (ZEC), one of the oldest and best-known privacy coins, is up by about 700% since September. 

The pump in recent days is notable, as it comes at a time when the entire crypto industry is being dragged down due to Bitcoin’s decline towards $100,000. It raises the question of how Zcash is managing this performance, and there are different theories on social media as to why this is happening.

What’s Going On With Zcash?

Zcash (ZEC) has risen over 700% since September 2025, reaching as high as $728 on November 7, according to data from CoinGecko. This rally comes ahead of its mid-November halving, which will halve block rewards to 0.78125 ZEC, tightening supply like Bitcoin’s events.

According to a recent report analysis by Galaxy Digital, Zcash’s extraordinary rally can also be attributed to a revived interest in privacy within the crypto space. The report noted that although Zcash’s underlying fundamentals have not drastically changed, perceptions of its zero-knowledge proof system have. 

More than 30% of the coin’s total supply is now locked within shielded pools, representing an all-time high for private usage on the network. This rally means that some users are increasingly seeking privacy-centric solutions as mainstream networks grow more transparent and subject to surveillance. 

Another factor contributing to Zcash’s rise is the recent tech upgrades to its network. The introduction of the new Zashi wallet, which makes private transactions far more user-friendly, has expanded Zcash’s accessibility to a wider audience. 

Prominent voices like Naval Ravikant and Arthur Hayes have championed Zcash’s role in the evolving privacy revolution, calling it “the missing piece for Bitcoin.” According to the BitMEX co-founder, Zcash has the potential to quickly achieve 10% to 20% of the value of Bitcoin, which would place its price between $10,000 and $20,000. Interestingly, Arthur Hayes’ Maelstrom fund now holds ZEC as its second-largest liquid asset.

Can ZCASH Keep Pumping?

Despite the euphoria, some analysts caution that Zcash’s dramatic rally may not be entirely rooted in long-term fundamentals. Economist Lyn Alden described the surge as a coordinated token pump, warning investors not to become exit liquidity.

A crypto commentator known as Bit Paine on X suggested that the current Zcash rally may be a coordinated pump-and-dump, arguing that manipulators likely targeted the coin because privacy tokens had their big moment in 2017, meaning many new investors may be unaware of the pattern, and privacy-focused assets like Zcash make it easier for bad actors to conceal their activities from regulators.

There is also looming regulatory pressure over privacy coins, especially after the European Parliament’s vote to restrict listings of tokens like Zcash and Monero on regional exchanges beginning in 2027.

At the time of writing, Zcash is trading at $580.67, having retraced from its intraday high of $734.96.

Coming out of weeks of downtrend, the Ethereum price could be looking to establish the next bottom as it sets up for a campaign toward new all-time highs. This is highlighted by crypto analyst MMBTtrader, who explained that the Ethereum price crash could be coming to an end. This is evidenced by a number of formations on the Ethereum price chart that suggest where the next lift-off might begin.

Ethereum Price Is Testing The Next Major Support

In an analysis shared on the TradingView website, the crypto analyst explained that the Ethereum price is now testing the next crucial technical level. The importance of this level comes with a 50% retracement of the Fibonacci sequence. Thus, it means that the Ethereum price is seeing major support at this level.

This support lies just above the $3,200 level, which the Ethereum price had managed to maintain through the market crash. This puts the critical level at the 0.5 Fibonacci support, which currently serves as the next make-or-break level for the cryptocurrency.

If the Ethereum price is able to bounce off from here, then it could trigger the next wave of recoveries for the cryptocurrency. Not only that, it would be the signal that the bottom is finally in and the crash is over. The analyst further explains that this could lead to “a high-probability setup for a resumption of the primary bullish trend.”

Such a breakout would lead to a rather strong bullish move for the digital asset, and the target from here would be a brand new all-time high. The first target from here would be $5,500 as bulls push the price higher. “This target is derived from the magnitude of the prior uptrend and represents a key resistance zone on the higher timeframes,” the analyst explained.

The Bearish Side Of The Coin

The 0.5 Fibonacci level, as explained above, is a make-or-break level. This means that whichever direction the Ethereum price takes after hitting this level could determine where the cryptocurrency is headed next. With the bullish side already explored, there is still the possibility that Ethereum fails to establish support and a bottom.

In the event of the Ethereum price actually breaking below this crucial level, then it would confirm the bearish pressure that has plagued the market. The analyst highlights on the chart that if the support breaks, then Ethereum could dump further below $3,000, with the major support lying just above $2,400.

Such a decline would mean an over 30% crash for Ethereum, on top of the already struggling price. Therefore, it is imperative that bulls hold above $3,200 to prevent further decline.

Speculations across the crypto space have ignited a wave of excitement for the XRP price as rumors linking BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, and Ripple, a crypto payments company, continue to spread. The possibility of XRP reaching $1,000 before the end of 2025 has become the latest hot topic, fueled by bold claims from top analysts who believe that this rumored partnership could set the stage for one of the most explosive bull runs in this cycle. 

BlackRock And Ripple Rumors To Send XRP Price To $1,000

Crypto market analyst ‘The Real Remi Relief’ has stirred significant interest with his post on X social media, claiming that if ongoing rumors about a potential partnership between BlackRock and Ripple prove true, the XRP price could reach $1,000 by the end of 2025. He advised holders to secure their XRP in cold wallets and prepare for a potential market-wide supply shock. 

His optimism stems from reports shared by another well-analyst @DelCrxpto, who revealed that sources deep within the crypto industry are hinting at a major development involving BlackRock and Ripple. According to these claims, the global asset manager may be preparing to collaborate with Ripple to establish infrastructure for the tokenization of all $5.3 trillion of its ETF liquidity. 

If such an initiative were to materialize, it would represent one of the largest integrations of blockchain into global finance. Ripple’s network, designed for fast and cost-effective asset transfers, could provide the foundation for tokenized ETFs, potentially transforming traditional investment markets. Additionally, the crypto payments company, which is already expanding into the Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization sector, will broaden its technology and services to support a broader range of financial products. 

The possibility of such a partnership has reignited optimism within the XRP community, especially after the recent Ripple Swell event, which featured participation from prominent names including BlackRock, Nasdaq, Franklin Templeton, The White House, and several other global institutions.

Notably, an ETF tokenization deal between Ripple and BlackRock could elevate XRP’s role in the digital asset and financial ecosystem, driving institutional adoption, which could propel its price. Despite growing optimism about XRP’s price outlook, the rumors remain unconfirmed, and neither Ripple nor BlackRock has issued any official statement. 

XRP Expected To Explode Within The Next 3 Months

Market analyst @Steph_iscrypto has added fuel to the bullish excitement surrounding the XRP price with a technical analysis suggesting that the cryptocurrency could soon enter another parabolic phase. He announced in his X post that “XRP will shock everyone in the next 1-3 months.”

His accompanying weekly chart highlights bull rallies from past cycles, where XRP surged 2,117% in 2013, 110,466% in 2017, and 1,208% in 2020. Building on this trend, XRP has recently broken through a long-term resistance level, mirroring the early stages of its previous explosive bull cycles. If historical patterns repeat, the analyst suggests that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of another explosive bull run this cycle. 

US Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs finally broke their six-day losing streak on November 6, posting their first day of net inflows after nearly a week of continuous capital outflows. Data from SoSoValue shows that Bitcoin ETFs drew $240.03 million in new investments over the past 24 hours, while Ethereum ETFs gained $12.51 million.

Solana ETFs, meanwhile, continued to show remarkable consistency, bringing in $29.22 million in daily inflows. That figure extended Solana’s winning streak to eight consecutive days of positive capital movement, even as other major digital-asset ETFs struggled to maintain momentum.

A Strong Debut For Solana ETFs

Data shows that Solana ETFs launched with around $70 million on the first day and went on to accumulate roughly $531 million in net assets within the first week. 

Although this is smaller compared to the $1.5 billion Bitcoin ETFs recorded in their first week and the $1.17 billion seen by Ethereum ETFs, it is still a remarkable figure for a newcomer that entered the market during a period of volatility and cautious sentiment.

Despite choppy trading conditions, Solana’s ETFs managed to attract consistent daily inflows between $37 million and $70 million through most of the week before a moderate slowdown to around $9.7 million on the seventh day. 

Capital Flows Shifting With Bitcoin And Ethereum Struggles

The steady inflows into Solana ETFs are notable, particularly because they are happening during a difficult stretch for the broader crypto market, one that has placed Bitcoin under pressure of losing the $100,000 psychological level.

Data from SoSoValue reveals that Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a six-day run of outflows between October 29 and November 4, totaling around $2 billion in withdrawals. The single largest daily outflow occurred on November 4, when $577.74 million exited the funds. Spot Ethereum ETFs also faced a similar pattern, losing approximately $837.66 million over the same period.

The split between Solana’s rising inflows and the sustained outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum shows a subtle but important modification in investor sentiment. Although, it is important to note that both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs witnessed positive flows in the past trading day, and bullish investors can only hope it continues to stay this way.

Even so, Solana ETFs are in their early stages and still have a considerable distance to cover before matching the size and liquidity of Bitcoin and Ethereum’s products. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $101,482, down 1.6% in the past 24 hours, while Ethereum is trading at $3,336, a 1.2% decline over the same period.

Solana ETF inflows are yet to reflect in the cryptocurrency’s price, as it is down by 1.4% and 15.3% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively, and is trading at $157.

Crypto analyst Cantonese has shared his AI analysis, which showed what will drive the Dogecoin price to $5.76. The analysis also highlighted other factors that could determine whether or not DOGE reaches this target. 

AI Reveals How The Dogecoin Price Can Reach $5.76

In an X post, Cantonese revealed Grok’s analysis about the Dogecoin price target if this is the start of wave 3. The AI stated that wave 3 could send DOGE to between $4.48 and $5.76 if it meets the standard 1.618 extension. There is also the possibility that the foremost meme coin could reach between $37.76 and $48.55 if the move extends to the 2.618 extension. 

The AI stated that the Dogecoin price rally to between $37.76 and $48.55 is only possible in strong bull markets like the crypto cycle. Meanwhile, Grok admitted that the actual DOGE price will depend on market confirmation and may align with larger cycle extensions, such as the $3.95 level. 

This Dogecoin price analysis has raised eyebrows, with community members stating that a rally to these targets is almost impossible because of what DOGE’s market cap will be. A rally to $5.76 means that the meme coin would have a market cap of $758.30 billion, which is almost one-third of the current total crypto market cap. 

Meanwhile, the Dogecoin price is unlikely to hit these targets anytime soon, given the current market conditions. DOGE is struggling below the psychological $0.2 level amid Bitcoin’s recent crash below $100,000. There are also speculations that a bear market may be imminent, meaning the foremost meme coin is still at risk of further decline.  

DOGE Could Still Record A 300% Rally From Current Level

Crypto analyst Javon Marks has predicted that the Dogecoin price could record a 300% rally from its current level. He revealed that DOGE continues to hold out of a resisting trend, which puts the target for this setup at $0.6533. This will bring DOGE close to its all-time high (ATH) of $0.73 and puts it well above the local high of $0.48, which it reached last December.  

Crypto analyst Crypto King also provided a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price. In an X post, he noted that DOGE was sitting right on the lower trendline of the symmetrical triangle. The analyst added that this area has acted as a strong floor for months and that buying pressure is starting to build. In line with this, Crypto King remarked that a clean bounce from this level could spark a rally for the meme coin. 

At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.16, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Over the years, a number of indicators have emerged that have helped to pinpoint the Bitcoin price top for each bull cycle. These have become quite popular due to their success rates during this time. As such, the Coinglass website collates all of these to form a progress chart that could tell when the Bitcoin price is nearing its peak. This progress chart is barely halfway gone, but the Bitcoin price is seeing major crashes, so what’s going on?

Bull Market Peak Indicators Remain Untriggered

A total of 30 Bitcoin bull market peak indicators are being tracked on the Coinglass website, and so far, not a single one has been triggered. This means that none of these 30 indicators point to the Bitcoin price already reaching its peak. This suggests that there is still more runway for the digital asset before it hits the cycle peak and begins the next decline into the bear market; thus, the tracker remains firmly in “Hold” territory.

For example, the Bitcoin Dominance indicator is very high, sitting at 92.76%, very close to being triggered, but remains untouched. This comes while the Bitcoin dominance over the rest of the altcoin market remains high above 60%, but still below the 65% score required for the indicator to be triggered..

Another major indicator is the Bitcoin long-term holder supply, which tracks the rate at which long-term holders are dumping BTC. This indicator is often triggered when long-term holder supply falls below 13.5 million BTC, but at the time of this report, it is still sitting above 15 million BTC.

Short-term holder supply is another indicator that also remains relatively low at this point. For this indicator to be triggered, the short-term holder supply needs to rise above 30% of the supply. However, it is sitting at less than 25%, suggesting that Bitcoin long-term holders are still dominating the market.

Sell-Offs Are Dominating Bitcoin

While the Bitcoin peak indicators remain untriggered and point toward a time to hold, it has not stopped the massive sell-offs that have been rocking the cryptocurrency. Over the last few weeks, reports have emerged of early Bitcoin whales dumping billions of dollars of BTC on the market.

Bitcoinist reported that between October and November, two early Bitcoin whales had sold more than $1.7 billion worth of BTC in a matter of weeks. These sell-offs had added to the initial bearish pressure that pushed the Bitcoin price down toward $100,000. Then, earlier this week, reports emerged of another OG whale who dumped 10,000 BTC, worth over $1 billion on the market.

Given these, it seems that Bitcoin is not waiting for the cycle peak indicators to trigger before rallying. The whales are already pushing what looks to be a premature bear market with the massive sell-offs.

The recent Bitcoin price crash is not just another dip in the market, according to analysts; it could be one of the most critical phases for its long-term bullish structure in this cycle. Crypto market expert Tara has emphasized that this ongoing retracement sets the foundation for Bitcoin’s next major bottom. Her analysis points to a potential Wave 5 correction that could drive the BTC price as low as $94,000 before the next major bullish trend begins. 

Bitcoin Price Eyes Recovery After Wave 5 Retracement

In a technical analysis shared on X social media, Tara disclosed that Bitcoin’s latest price correction “is probably one of the most important retraces it will have in a long time.” She views the decline as an essential process that prepares the leading cryptocurrency for a strong rebound in the future. Based on her Elliott Wave analysis, there are only two waves left before the broader market shift begins. 

The analyst notes that the primary reason the Bitcoin price crash is important is that it allows the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to recover, creating ideal conditions for a Bullish Divergence. Subsequently, this divergence could establish a solid bottom for BTC, which is a critical signal for the start of a renewed uptrend. 

In her chart, Tara identifies a key Fibonacci Retracement zone between $103,400 and $104,900 as the resistance range for its current wave. The 0.382 Fib level is located near $103,478, where the Bitcoin price intersects with the Moving Average (MA), while the 0.5 Fib level aligns with $104,943. The analyst notes that this range could act as a crucial pivot zone before BTC resumes its correction in the final Wave 5 down to $94,000. 

Additionally, the chart shows that Bitcoin is currently retracing from a previous low near the 0.618 Fibonacci Extension around $103,755.79. Trading volume has also declined by over 48% in the past 24 hours, while RSI remains weak at 33.96, signaling that the market is still oversold.

Why The Path To $94,000 Matters For The Next Bull Cycle

In responding to questions from crypto community members under her X post, Tara clarified that Bitcoin could first rise to $104,000, representing a 0.97% increase from current levels above $103,000, before crashing 9.6% to $94,000. She expects a price bottom to occur quickly and soon, whereas it may take longer for Bitcoin to build solid support before reversing into a new bullish phase. 

Tara stated that the ongoing retracement could peak around the day of her analysis, but the bottom might take a few more days to form. Despite the anticipated “pain,” she reassured market watchers that the correction is necessary for Bitcoin’s next leg higher. She also emphasized that the market may not feel bullish until mid-December 2025.

Ripple’s Swell 2025 conference in New York has quickly become one of the most talked-about events in the crypto and finance world. Among the highlights was a statement from Maxwell Stein, a member of BlackRock’s digital assets team, that sent the audience into applause and resonated with enthusiasts on social media. 

He revealed that the global financial market is now ready for large-scale blockchain adoption, and the infrastructure being built by companies like Ripple could soon facilitate the movement of trillions of dollars on-chain.

BlackRock’s Maxwell Stein Says The Crypto Market Is Ready

During his session, Stein highlighted the transformation underway in global finance, noting that traditional securities are still held in legacy systems but that this separation between traditional and tokenized assets is gradually disappearing. 

He explained that in the short term, proving utility is the most important thing to gaining broader adoption and that there are currently two types of users driving this shift: those already in the crypto space and a second wave of early institutional adopters. 

Stein emphasized the need for continued market momentum to demonstrate the practical usefulness of blockchain solutions and attract larger financial players. “We need that market momentum in order to prove the utility, to actually get the larger players to eventually come in,” he said.

As noted by an XRP advocate with the name Diana on the social media platform X, Stein credited Ripple and other early builders for proving that blockchain works. Not as a concept, but as real financial infrastructure.

The idea that trillions in capital could eventually move through blockchain rails represents a fundamental change in how the world’s financial systems might operate. The idea sounded like a myth back when the crypto industry was first created. 

What once seemed like a distant fantasy in crypto’s early days has begun to take shape as reality, and big names like traditional finance are now moving into the crypto industry every day.

Nasdaq’s CEO Says Regulation Is Important

Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman also shared her perspective at the event, focusing on the need for regulatory clarity to encourage broader institutional participation in the digital asset space. She explained that major institutions want to engage but require clearly defined rules that prioritize investor protection and establish stable frameworks. 

According to her, once such clarity is achieved, these institutions can confidently enter the market knowing that they are operating under secure and transparent guidelines.

Friedman added that significant progress is already happening within traditional finance, as many banks are experimenting with tokenized bonds, fixed income instruments, and the creation of stablecoins. 

This growing involvement is evidence that institutions are not waiting for innovation to reach them. They are actively finding ways to participate in the digital asset ecosystem while awaiting the full regulatory go-ahead. “But I think to get them really engaged in the market, there has to be regulatory clarity,” Friedman said.

Crypto analyst Butterfly has provided a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price, predicting that it could soon record a massive rally. This comes as the crypto market looks to rebound from its most recent downtrend, with DOGE well below the psychological $0.2 level. 

Analyst Declares The Dogecoin Price Is About To Burst

In an X post, Butterfly urged DOGE holders to stay alert as the Dogecoin price could “burst” from its current price level. This came as the analyst noted that the foremost meme coin is facing the lower boundary of the symmetrical triangle on the 3-day chart. Butterfly added that this zone remains a strong floor for price action and that bullish pressure is mounting fast. 

The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the Dogecoin price could bounce off the $0.165 support level and rally to as high as $0.48. Notably, that price level marked a local high for DOGE last year when it rallied from a similar range as its current price level. Meanwhile, the meme coin is expected to hit this price level by year-end or the beginning of next year.  

This Dogecoin price prediction comes as the crypto market rebounds from the recent crash, which caused Bitcoin to drop below $100,000, dragging DOGE and other altcoins down. With BTC back above $100,000, the foremost meme coin will look to reclaim the psychological $0.2 level, which could spark a larger rebound. 

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also indicated that the bottom was in for the Dogecoin price following the recent crypto market crash. In an X post, he revealed that the TD Sequential indicator has flashed a buy signal on DOGE, suggesting the local bottom might be in.  

DOGE’s Bull Run Could Start Soon

Crypto analyst Chandler indicated that DOGE’s bull run could soon begin. He noted that the biggest bull runs were usually preceded by the TOTAL3/Total rallying to the upside. Then a sharp drop occurs and a clean V-shaped recovery, which is when the Dogecoin price usually peaks. The analyst then revealed that TOTAL3/TOTAL appears to be resuming an uptrend, suggesting the meme coin could soon rally. 

Crypto analyst Ether also assured that the bull structure remains intact for Dogecoin’s price despite the recent pullbacks. He noted that every Dogecoin cycle has looked chaotic up close and perfectly structured from a distance. He then asserted that the pattern remains intact. Notably, the analyst had previously predicted that the Dogecoin price would rally to the psychological $1 level, which would mark a new all-time high for the meme coin. 

At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.16, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The current Bitcoin price crash is being driven by major sell-offs from large whales as they offload massive early BTC holdings. In addition to this, though, there are also chart formations that suggest that the Bitcoin price crash is only in its beginning stages. This comes after the cryptocurrency closed the month of October in the red for the first time in seven years, setting a precedent for a likely bearish close to the year.

Higher Low Trendline Needs To Hold

The current Bitcoin price downtrend began after the cryptocurrency hit a new all-time high back in August. The rejection at $126,000 created the cascade of bearish pressure that has now plagued the market, causing major losses to altcoins as a result. But even with the price already crashing by a significant margin since then, it is likely that the decline is not yet over.

Crypto analyst TradingShot highlights the current trend as being similar to what was seen back in January-February 2025, where a fractal formed after the Bitcoin price broke below its higher lows trendline. Presently, the Bitcoin price chart is following a higher low trendline formed after the infamous October 10 flash crash.

As the analyst explains, this trendline needs to hold for a recovery to take place. In the event that the trendline does break, then the Bitcoin price could be in trouble, similar to what was seen at the start of the year. A rejection from this level would inevitably lead to a double-digit crash.

If the crash sticks to the same fractal seen in January-February, then the analyst predicts that a 32% decline could be in the works. This would put it on the 2.0 Fibonacci Extension level, and such a crash could mean a decline to as low as $87,000 before support is established again.

What A Bearish October Means For The Bitcoin Price

Interestingly, historical performance also supports the crypto analyst’s theory that a double-digit crash could be in the works for the Bitcoin price. This has to do with the performance in October and what the trend says could happen in the month of November as a result.

Whenever the Bitcoin price has closed October in the red, the subsequent month of November has always ended weakly as well. The last time that Bitcoin saw a red October close was back in 2018, and what followed was a 36.4% crash in November.

Given this, it is likely that the Bitcoin price does follow this trend, especially with major sell-offs from BTC whales. Naturally, a double-digit crash would mean that the Bitcoin price will crash below $100,000 for the first time in four months.

The cryptocurrency market has been on edge in recent weeks, and two of its most recognized meme tokens, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, have suffered the brunt of the sell-off. Both coins have seen significant price drops with low bullish whale activity, declining on-chain performance, and worsening market sentiment. 

Dogecoin’s fall is aggravated by large holders selling massive amounts of tokens, while Shiba Inu’s troubles are due to its inability to sustain liquidity and demand through its layer-2 network, Shibarium. Together, their price crashes reflect the unease among retail traders concerning the two meme coins.

Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Crashing

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu’s price action has crashed notably in the past seven days. Dogecoin, for one, fell as high as 17% in a seven-day timeframe, and Shiba Inu also witnessed a comparable 12% drop. 

Notably, on-chain data shows that Dogecoin’s recent crash was ignited by a large-scale sell-off from whale wallets holding between 10 and 100 million DOGE. The numbers show that these wallets offloaded roughly one billion coins within seven days. The resulting cascade effect pushed Dogecoin below a key support level near $0.18, which in turn triggered additional liquidations across derivatives markets. 

As it stands, Dogecoin’s market capitalization had dropped from almost $30 billion to roughly $24.7 billion in the past seven-day timeframe. Trading volume has also surged massively within the past 24 hours, with most of the activity being selling pressure.

Shiba Inu has faced its own share of bearish troubles in the past few days. Shiba Inu’s price action fell to around $0.0000089, its lowest price since January 2024. The token’s decline has been compounded by weak liquidity, low trading volume, and a marked slowdown in network activity. 

Technical indicators confirm its prolonged downtrend, with Shiba Inu trading well below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. Its Relative Strength Index is below 34, suggesting weak momentum with no sign of bullish divergence.

Outlook: Can Dogecoin And Shiba Inu Recover?

Both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu mostly depend on community hype, and that is virtually nonexistent as it stands. The wider crypto market downtrend in the past 24 hours has done nothing to help either, with many cryptocurrencies weakening against the growing dollar index. The entire crypto market fell by as much as 4% in the past 24-hour timeframe. 

However, crypto history shows that meme coins tend to bounce strongly once overall crypto sentiment improves. Dogecoin’s long-term support around $0.15-$0.17 has always served as a turning point, while Shiba Inu’s oversold RSI could eventually draw bargain hunters if market conditions stabilize. For now, their recovery depends heavily on a better retail engagement and a strong market-wide relief rally, neither of which seems imminent in the short term.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.164 and is looking like it can reclaim its $0.17 support. Shiba Inu, on the other hand, is trading at $0.00000897.

Crypto analyst Arthur has predicted that the XRP price is preparing to decouple from Bitcoin (BTC). For years, XRP’s price movements have mirrored those of BTC, but according to Arthur, the market is evolving in ways that could soon set XRP apart. The emergence of Ripple’s new institutional brokerage platform and recent acquisitions, alongside the growing strength of its associated stablecoin, are key drivers that the analyst believes could drive this separation.

XRP Price Set To Break Away From Bitcoin

Arthur’s recent thread shared on X social media paints a confident picture of XRP’s future. He argues that the cryptocurrency is starting to chart its own course, breaking away from Bitcoin’s influence. Traditionally, XRP’s price has followed BTC’s overall direction and trajectory, rising and falling in tandem with the broader altcoin market. 

However, Arthur believes that the latest developments surrounding Ripple, a crypto payments company, could significantly change this dynamic. He points to Ripple Prime as the biggest factor that could drive this shift. Notably, Ripple Prime is a digital asset spot prime brokerage that Ripple recently launched following its acquisition of Hidden Road. The brokerage platform offers OTC spot trading, Foreign Exchange (FX), derivatives, and swaps, all seamlessly integrated with XRP and RLUSD, Ripple’s regulated stablecoin. 

By offering Wall Street a means to enter the blockchain finance market, Arthur contends that Ripple Prime could redefine how institutions view digital assets like XRP. Instead of being swayed by broader market sentiment, this institutional demand from Ripple’s new brokerage platform and ongoing developments could drive XRP’s value based on measurable utility. Additionally, it could finally establish the cryptocurrency as a standalone asset rather than one that constantly tracks Bitcoin’s movements. 

In his analysis, Arthur frames Bitcoin as a speculative digital asset, while XRP is viewed as a form of financial infrastructure. He explains that this is a crucial distinction considering infrastructure assets are typically driven by real-world adoption and utility, rather than “hype cycles.”

With RLUSD surpassing a $1 billion market cap just a year after its launch, the analyst maintains that Ripple has established a stable and transparent institutional framework that effectively balances liquidity and compliance. Through this setup, RLUSD provides price stability, while XRP offers transaction liquidity, creating a financial ecosystem designed for real-world use, which is ideal for driving price growth. 

Regulation And Utility Shifts To Redefine XRP’s Identity

Arthur expands on his analysis by connecting Ripple’s recent developments to a broader picture. He explains that institutions using Ripple Prime to settle payments with XRP and RLUSD are driven by different incentives. They do not care about Bitcoin and are not chasing speculative gains like typical crypto traders, but prioritize efficiency, regulation, and liquidity. 

He also highlighted the potential impact of the upcoming CLARITY Act in the US. If passed, the analyst says that the bill could reclassify XRP as a commodity, moving it away from the “crypto basket” and placing it in the same regulatory category as assets like gold. Through this combination of legal clarity, stablecoin integration, asset class change, and subsequent institutional demand, Arthur says that XRP’s price will gradually decouple from Bitcoin.

Crypto pundit Jack has drawn attention to a valuation model that puts the XRP price at $18,000. This is based on the discounted cash flow model, which focuses on the XRP Ledger’s utility and XRP’s role as the native token. 

Valuation Model That Puts The XRP Price At $18,000

In an X post, Jack revealed that the discounted cash flow model puts the XRP price’s fair value at $18,036. He noted that the world is racing into tokenization and that the momentum is unstoppable. Based on this, he predicts that trillions of dollars in capital could flow into the XRP Ledger, powered by real-world assets (RWAs). 

The valuation model showed that the XRP Ledger may be viewed as a “pipeline of value,” in which the value passing through the network can be thought of as cash flow in a traditional business system. This could then boost XRP’s utility, potentially putting the XRP price at $18,000. 

Interestingly, there is also the possibility of the XRP price’s fair value being higher than $18,000 based on this discounted cash flow model. This could happen if economic growth rates are higher once crypto adoption spurs new businesses and economic models. These new businesses and economic models could lead to increased adoption for XRP and a subsequent price increase. 

Notably, crypto adoption, especially in traditional finance (TradFi), has been on the rise, boosting XRP’s adoption. This includes the launch of several XRP ETFs, which marks a positive for the XRP price. Meanwhile, Ripple has expanded its business with the surge in crypto adoption. This includes the acquisition of the prime broker Hidden Road, with the crypto firm already exploring how to include XRP products on the platform. 

Community Reacts To Price Prediction

The valuation model for the XRP price sparked reactions among XRP community members. Community member XR noted that valuation models project extreme prices that often rely on perfect conditions that rarely exist. The community member added that tokenization on the XRPL may indeed bring large capital inflows, but asserted that it won’t dictate real value. 

Instead, XR declared that adoption, regulation, and liquidity depth will determine the real value of the XRP price. The community member further remarked that sustainable growth will always follow verified utility. 

Meanwhile, another community member stated XRP might not necessarily be used for the transactions even if trillions get transacted on the XRP Ledger. They added that XRP will be used to pay gas fees, but it won’t be the currency used for transactions. As such, trillions flowing into the XRPL may not have much impact on the XRP price.

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.2, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

In the last few weeks, the Ethereum price has performed poorly, thanks to the bearish pressure triggered by the Bitcoin price decline. After losing support above $4,000, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap is now showing more signs of a breakdown that could trigger a spiral. Multiple analysts have already shared where they see the Ethereum price going, and we take a look at two that look at both ends of the spectrum.

A Recovery And Then A Crash

Crypto analyst Melikatrader highlighted an important structure that the Ethereum price has formed recently, and that is a clear structure of recovery. This comes after the cryptocurrency completed a liquidity sweep around $3,700, which is referred to as a “Hunting.”

Now, with the liquidity sweep completed at this level, the analyst believes that this creates a potential base that could see the Ethereum price correct upwards. Amid this, the altcoin has also seen some consolidation between $3,700 and $3,800, making this range an important area of interest.

If bulls are able to claim and hold this level, then it could put Ethereum on the path of another uptrend. It would put an end to the accumulation trend and kickstart another bullish run. Such a run would send the Ethereum price into the next supply zone, which lies at $4,080-$4,180, before seeing any major downward correction.

Despite expecting the price to climb, the crypto analyst also highlights the fact that Ethereum is still flashing a bearish market structure. With the ascending trendline on the move, the price is expected to hit resistance around $4,100. If bears are able to successfully reject the price from this level, then the Ethereum price is expected to crash back below $4,000.

Analyst Calls The Top For Ethereum Price

While many in the space believe the current downtrend is only temporary, crypto analyst CRYPTO Damus believes that this could actually be the cycle top. In the post on X, he compares the current trend to that of the 2018 and 2021 cycle tops using the weekly chart.

Damus points out that there are similarities between the previous cycle tops and that the Ethereum price is currently following a similar playbook. This comes after consistent green candles, followed by red candles on the weekly chart, ending in a bear market.

The analyst explains that it is possible that this time could be different, given the deviations in the market cycles so far. However, if it is the same trend from the last two bull cycles, that would mean that the bull run is over for Ethereum, and investors should brace for a crash.

Bitcoin might be currently trending downwards, but a full fundamental breakdown shows it is ready to return to $120,000, and it is only a matter of time. 

According to an extensive fundamental analysis shared by Mr. Wall Street on X, the recent months of price stagnation and sudden drops are part of a larger accumulation phase dominated by institutional players. The overall setup, he argued, points clearly to Bitcoin’s eventual climb back above $120,000.

Institutional Accumulation And Controlled Bitcoin Price Range

The analyst’s first point is how Bitcoin has been trading within a 120-day range, oscillating between $107,000 and $123,000 to form what is a controlled consolidation range by institutions intended to push out weak retail investors. Mr. Wall Street noted that Bitcoin’s structure remains fundamentally bullish despite the prolonged sideways movement. 

Each attempt to break out above $120,000 strongly or below the $107,000 support has failed, a sign that large institutions are actively controlling liquidity within this narrow band. Every crash within this period, including the one caused by the Binance sell-off and Trump’s tariff war with China, was met by strong institutional bids near the $107,000 zone, even when Bitcoin went on a flash crash to $101,000. 

Therefore, there is no technical or structural weakness that invalidates the bullish thesis. The imbalance to the upside, he added, is sufficient to push Bitcoin back to trading in the $120,000 and $123,000 range, which is the Value Area High.

Mr. Wall Street also tied Bitcoin’s coming surge to changes within the Federal Reserve’s policies. He pointed out that despite claiming to end quantitative tightening, the Fed has quietly injected billions into the banking system through repo operations and mortgage-backed securities purchases. He highlighted a single Friday where $50.35 billion entered the system.

According to him, this liquidity will ultimately find its way into risk assets, including Bitcoin, in a pattern similar to the 2019 monetary response that preceded crypto’s 2020 and 2021 bull run. Although he warned that a fabricated crash could precede the next liquidity wave, this will only strengthen Bitcoin’s long-term position for another move to $120,000 and possibly higher.

Gold And Bitcoin In The Battle For The Real Store Of Value

Mr. Wall Street also called attention to the psychological side of the current cycle, which has been highlighted by some investors gravitating towards gold. He argued that retail investors are being pushed to gold through manipulated narratives of stagflation and economic fear, while institutions quietly buy Bitcoin. “What’s ironic is that the same logic that drives people to buy gold should be making them buy Bitcoin instead,” he said. 

The ongoing gold hype is to distract the public while institutions accumulate Bitcoin at discount levels. Once retail participants exit the crypto market entirely, then there is going to be a move upward that redefines Bitcoin’s price level. 

As he concluded, the boring sideways phase is nearing its end, and the next aggressive move, one that could carry Bitcoin back above $120,000, is only a matter of time. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $104,200.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is experiencing heightened turbulence as on-chain metrics reveal a $2 billion surge in trading volume and an increase in whale movements. While such explosive market activity may be misconstrued as bullish, deeper analysis suggests a more bearish atmosphere, as large holders offload their positions amid waning retail demand. With DOGE prices consolidating near critical levels after its recent breakdown, analysts warn of an impending continuation of the downtrend as key supports fail to hold. 

Dogecoin $2 Billion Volume Surge Raises Red Flags 

On-chain data from TradingView has revealed a significant surge in Dogecoin’s trading activity, with volume climbing as high as 62% and exceeding $2 billion on Tuesday, November 3. Despite the apparent increase in market participation, the underlying signals from oscillators, Moving Averages (MA), and pivot indicators collectively point toward “strong” selling pressure. 

Notably, much of this heightened activity has been attributed to large holders liquidating their positions amidst broader market weakness, contributing to the already substantial wave of sell volume. TradingView data shows that Dogecoin’s price has been in a decline during this increase in market activity, highlighting the underlying bearishness fueled by increased selling activity.

DOGE’s price has been consolidating between $0.17 and $0.21 since mid-October 2025, forming a tight price range. However, with its recent volatility, its price has dropped below its former consolidation range and is now trading around $0.16, at the time of writing. TradingView confirms that Dogecoin’s previous range-bound behavior and its consistent price decline are being driven by whale distribution rather than accumulation. 

To support this claim, recent reports from crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that over 1 billion DOGE were sold by whales within a single week. And just the week before, these large-scale investors had initiated a $500 million DOGE liquidation. This escalating sell pressure has effectively weakened Dogecoin’s technical outlook, with prices now down more than 37% in the past month and momentum indicators showing exhaustion among buyers. 

Analysts Predict Deeper DOGE Crash As Support Crumbles

Martinez and market expert ‘Umair Crypto’ have both issued fresh warnings amid Dogecoin’s ongoing price correction. In his post on X, Martinez emphasized that the DOGE price has officially lost its structural support at $0.18, invalidating the prior bullish scenario. His accompanying chart projects potential downside targets as low as $0.12, suggesting a 30% decline from current levels if bearish momentum continues. 

Umair Crypto’s analysis echoes similar cautions, showing Dogecoin trading around $0.169, having failed to hold previous support levels. He noted that the initial bounce from this current price range appears weak, indicating that sellers are dominating the market. The analyst’s chart suggests that the next critical support is near $1.41, approximately 15% below current levels. Additionally, he warns that weak rebounds at this key level often signal the start of a continued downtrend, suggesting that price declines could be on the way. 

Crypto analyst Tony Severino has revealed a rare chart formation, which presents a bearish outlook for the XRP price. This comes amid a market downtrend, with concerns that XRP may have topped in this market cycle. 

Rare Chart Pattern That Sparked 87% XRP Price Crash Resurfaces 

In an X post, Severino revealed that the XRP monthly LMACD has crossed bearish for the third time ever. He noted that the past two bearish crossovers resulted in an 87% and 71% drawdown after the signal fired. The analyst added that this signal, this time around, is still unconfirmed. As such, he remarked that bulls must push the XRP price much higher this month or they risk seeing the signal being confirmed. 

Severino’s analysis comes amid a crypto market downtrend, which has pushed the XRP price lower. The altcoin is now at risk of dropping below the psychological $2 level, a level that it fell below during the $19 billion liquidation event in October. Notably, crypto analyst CasiTrades had earlier predicted that XRP could still drop to as low as $1.4 before it bottoms. 

The analyst is confident that such a crash for the XRP price is the perfect buy-the-dip opportunity as she expects the altcoin to still rally to a new all-time high (ATH), potentially reaching as high as $10. From a fundamentals perspective, there are also positives for XRP, which could spark a significant rebound. 

Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF is on course to launch on November 13, while Grayscale and Bitwise have also amended their filings, meaning they could launch soon. Ripple also just launched a crypto prime brokerage in the U.S. to offer OTC trading for XRP, RLUSD, and other crypto assets. 

A Breakout For XRP On The Horizon

Crypto analyst Ether has indicated that the XRP price is primed to break above the resistance level at $3.1 soon enough. He stated that the current resistance is bound to break with the altcoin’s price accumulating over the major support at $1.9. The analyst explained that each test weakens the sellers’ defense while supply gets absorbed, liquidity thins out, and the market builds pressure. 

Furthermore, Ether noted that steady accumulation above strong support shows that the buyers are quietly taking control and that energy is being stored for an explosive move. In line with this, he declared that the XRP price breakout is no longer a question of if but when. In the meantime, CasiTrades stated that XRP is eyeing the $2.04 and $1.72 supports as part of the final wave to the downside. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.2, down over 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Amid the bearish pressure that has rocked the market, the Bitcoin price continues to fluctuate around the $110,000 support, especially with selling pressure building up. This has led to predictions that the Bitcoin price is headed for another crash amid the weakness. One analysis that stands out comes from crypto analyst Toby Dawson, who pointed out the formation of a bearish Heads and Shoulders pattern that could trigger a cascade below $100,000.

Head And Shoulders Pattern Points Downward

In the analysis shared on the TradingView website, Dawson outlines the formation of the head and shoulders pattern. The first shoulder here, the left shoulder, was created at around $117,000, when the price was struggling back in the month of September. The subsequent recovery would then give rise to the formation of the head.

Next was the rapid Bitcoin price rise to a new all-time high above $126,000 before hitting resistance. This resistance at this level led to the formation of the head of the pattern, and, as expected, the price continued its downtrend following this.

The most recent of these is the formation of the right shoulder, which was created in the rally toward $117,000 at the end of October. Once again, the Bitcoin price hit another major resistance, marking the completion of the head and shoulders pattern.

With this formation, the crypto analyst points out the possibility that the Bitcoin price will see a major bounce. However, in the case of a breakdown, the expectation would be for the price to crash below the $100,000 and move toward $90,000.

Bitcoin Price Crash Expectations Spread

Another crypto analyst has also called out the possibility of the Bitcoin price crashing. This comes after the cryptocurrency made a new all-time high above $126,000, and the analyst points out that the digital asset has always seen a major price crash after reaching new peaks.

From here, the focus is now on the 1-week 50 EMA and the support at $100,000. These two are serving as the last line of defense, and if they fail, then the analyst expects the Bitcoin price to go into free fall. As a result, the analyst warns that investors should get ready to exist as “Bitcoin is heading straight to hell!”

Just like Dawson, the crypto analyst expects that Bitcoin will break below $100,000, but puts it even further. This time, it isn’t expected to actually stop above $90,000, but to reach deeper into the $80,000 territory before finding support.
