Crypto analyst CasiTrades has predicted that the XRP price could still crash to $1.4 in the final wave of this downtrend. This comes despite bullish catalysts such as the Fed rate cut, which could lift the altcoin to new highs. 

Analyst Predicts XRP Price Crash To $1.4

In an X post, CasiTrades stated that exchanges are aligning toward their .618 retracements, with Binance showing a crash to between $1.35 and $1.46 for the XRP price. She noted that this next wave down would complete the macro Wave 2 correction, setting the stage for the next Wave 3 impulse that could send XRP toward $6.50 or $10.

This came as the analyst remarked that the XRP price was at a major decision point, with the price continuing to test the Wave 4 highs. She noted that this resistance is making another wave down a possibility. To invalidate the move down, CasiTrades stated that XRP needs to break and hold above $2.82 on Binance. 

However, so far, the XRP price hasn’t done so, with CasiTrades noting that the price is still ranging between support and resistance. She explained that this leans toward this being a Wave 4, with the altcoin one final move lower before the next macro impulse. The analyst ruled out a V-shaped recovery, noting that price typically breaks through resistance immediately and decisively, which is not happening with the current price action. 

She further remarked that the hesitation suggests that selling pressure isn’t fully exhausted for the XRP price. However, CasiTrades assured that the deeper support levels aren’t a reason to panic, as they are high conviction accumulation zones. Meanwhile, the analyst highlighted a discrepancy in the price action on different exchanges. 

She noted that the XRP price on Binance wicked to $0.77 during the $19 billion liquidation event, while on Coinbase, XRP never reached its .618 retracement level. CasiTrades then reiterated that until $2.82 breaks, the price action favors one final wave down before the next major move up.

XRP’s Bull Run Isn’t Over

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has assured that the bull run isn’t over for the XRP price, despite predictions that the top may be in. He stated that as long as XRP holds above $2.20 and $1.97 as monthly closes, then there is no structural break. He also believes that the altcoin and other risk assets are about to “roar.”

Egrag Crypto noted that quantitative tightening is still active and that Fed rate cuts are just beginning. In line with this, he declared that the last leg up is still waiting to play out. He claimed that cycles don’t end when 50% of traders are cautious, but do when everyone is “drunk on euphoria.”

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.6, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP market is bracing for a new phase of intense volatility, with anticipation growing around key legal, regulatory, and institutional developments. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has recently addressed the XRP community, offering guidance and setting expectations for what is to come. 

XRP Unusual Stability May Be Setting Up A Major Move

The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with increased anticipation for XRP, following a series of strategic announcements from Ripple and compelling technical analysis. Popular crypto news source CryptosRus has highlighted on X that the altcoin is poised for a sharp move, as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has mentioned that investors should be prepared for a substantial shift.

At the core of this move, Ripple has just launched Ripple Prime, a new global prime brokerage service tailored for institutional clients. According to the company, Ripple Prime will be powered by Ripple’s foundational digital asset infrastructure, encompassing its robust solutions for payments, crypto custody, and stablecoin capabilities, alongside XRP.

However, CEO Brad Garlinghouse called this move another step toward building the internet of value, emphasizing that the XRP sits at the center of everything Ripple does. CryptosRus noted that the altcoin has recently bounced off a key support level at $2.33. This technical indicator is signaling a potential 30% rally, with an initial target of $3.45 or even higher, as market momentum continues to build.

An analyst known as TylerHillYT, who is also the president of FluenceGlobal and Co-Founder of the CSS, has also stated that the XRP price comeback is showing structural strength. In just a day, the token burn rate spiked 29%, mirroring its 29% price surge, signaling a synchronized increase in both on-chain demand and heightened investor activity.

This Ripple’s deeper expansion into traditional finance and the recent launch of Ripple Prime have caused the network usage to ramp up again. TylerHillYT emphasized that at the accelerated pace, XRP is not just riding a wave of market momentum, but it’s rebuilding its long-term narrative. However, the burn acceleration with renewed institutional traction could be the early signs of a sustained upward trajectory, pushing the token structurally toward the $3.00 mark.

Connecting Market Surge To Foundational Growth

While the digital asset market is vibrating with renewed excitement surrounding XRP, a prominent crypto influencer and creator on Binance and CMC, Jack, has revealed that the bulls have firmly smashed through the critical $2.55 resistance level with conviction. This decisive breakout has now set the immediate sights of traders on $2.80 and beyond.

Jack mentioned that whale activity is back, and the Open Interest (OI) is climbing steadily, while sentiment is flipping fast. If this powerful momentum holds, the next significant pit stop for XRP could be the $3.00 mark and beyond.

Crypto analyst CryptosRus has drawn attention to the open interest reset for XRP. The analyst also explained why this development could spark a major price surge for the altcoin. 

XRP’s Open Interest Drops To New Lows

In an X post, CryptosRus revealed that XRP’s open interest on Binance has dropped back to the same lows that were seen in May 2025. The analyst noted that back then, the liquidation flush sparked a massive rally for the altcoin, which pushed it to $3.50. He added that this time around, the open interest is at the floor again, but the price is holding around $2.6. 

CryptosRus stated that this means that leverage is gone while the strong hands are still holding XRP. The analyst predicted that if new liquidity enters, this setup could signal the next leg up for the altcoin. He added that rallies usually start when leverage is low, spot demand is strong, and shorts are trapped. 

Notably, XRP has witnessed new demand with the launch of the largest XRP treasury company, Evernorth. The company has already accumulated up to $1 billion in XRP with Ripple’s backing and has revealed plans to continue accumulating more, using gains from its DeFi activities. Notably, the company stated that it will purchase XRP on the open market, which is expected to impact the altcoin’s price. 

Meanwhile, the SEC is expected to approve the spot XRP ETFs once the U.S. government shutdown ends. This could drive new liquidity into the altcoin, boosting its price. Moreover, experts such as Canary Capital’s CEO Steven McClurg have predicted that the XRP ETFs could see more inflows in their first month than the Ethereum ETFs did. 

XRP Is Gearing Up For A ‘Face Melting’ Rally

Crypto analyst Ether stated that XRP is quietly gearing up to melt faces and that most aren’t even aware or ready for what is coming. This came as the analyst alluded to an earlier analysis, in which he revealed that a similar scenario from a previous cycle was playing out for the altcoin. 

Ethere stated that XRP’s cyclical structure is showing a striking similarity again. After the altcoin’s rally in 2017, its price was rejected from the 2013 all-time high (ATH) level and then retested the 2014 ATH level, which had previously acted as resistance. XRP then began its parabolic run after it accumulated strength in that range. 

Now, this same XRP price action is playing out again, according to Ether. He noted that after the strong surge in 2024, the altcoin’s price was rejected at the 2017 ATH level and retested the 2021 ATH level, which had previously acted as resistance. The analyst added that the power accumulation phase is now underway in this region and that once it is complete, the next parabolic run will be inevitable. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.63, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

• BNB price retested highs above $1,160 as the altcoin looks for third green daily candle.
• Changpeng Zhao’s pardon helped buoy bulls and has driven part of the BNB gains.
• A macro lift has Bitcoin above $115,000 and BNB eyeing a potential rebound to $1,300.

The uptick across the crypto market has seen the BNB price retest a critical price level around $1,160. Gains signal the potential for significant upward movement, particularly as analysts point to a big week ahead for risk assets. 

With price hovering at $1,153 as of the time of writing, bulls’ flirtation with the pivotal supply zone remains critical.  

BNB price retests key supply zone

BNB’s price action over the past week has seen the token approach and briefly test the area above the $1,160 level.

This retest, occurring amid a broader market rebound, demonstrates robust buyer conviction. Binance coin has recorded two consecutive green daily closes and eyes a third.

Indeed, the 3% uptick in the past 24 hours has the exchange token holding onto a nearly 20% tick up over the past month.

The last time it traded above $1,160 was in mid-October, which is when prices crashed from all-time highs above $1,370. BNB has broken higher amid an ascending channel pattern.

The Relative Strength Index has climbed from oversold territory below 40 to a neutral 54 on the daily chart. The RSI is around 65 on the 4-hour chart.

A divergence suggests diminishing selling pressure. This could give bulls more room to wiggle upwards before overbought conditions come into view.

In this case, a decisive close above $1,160 could validate a breakout.

Bulls will target the next resistance at $1,185 and $1,215, and success will bring the ATH above $1,300 into play. However, failure to hold off bears at $1,150 might see a pullback to $1,100 and then $1,080.

What next for BNB amid CZ pardon

The horizon for BNB is considerably brighter with a recent development in mind.

In particular, President Donald Trump’s pardon of Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao not only invigorated BNB but the broader crypto market.  

Zhao served a four-month sentence in 2024, having stepped down as Binance CEO and convicted of violations of anti-money-laundering guidelines as tied to Binance’s operations. 

BNB surged immediately after Trump’s pardon. But the bigger question is whether Zhao’s pardon means he could return to the exchange behemoth.

Speculation is rife, but CZ is said to be more focused on YZi Labs and other initiatives.

The native token of the high-throughput BNB Chain has also benefited from fresh listings on platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood.

The retest of $1,160 could thus mark a key zone for both bulls and bears.

According to market snapshots, Zcash rose about 30% in a 24-hour span, moving from roughly $272 to a peak near $355. The coin has been up more than 40% in the last week.

The token’s gain outpaced all other top 50 coins by market cap during the same window. Volume spiked at the same time, showing traders piled in quickly after a single social post touched off the move.

Influencer Posts Spark Buying

Based on reports on social media, the rally was partly driven by traders reacting to a bullish post from Arthur Hayes on X.

Contributors on platforms like Binance Square flagged the post, and one user known as AB Kuai Dong said an endorsement by what he called a “legendary Silicon Valley investor” pushed people into the market.

Another poster, Clemente, who is listed as a board member at treasury firm K9Strategy, said they joined the trade because they felt “so much FOMO I couldn’t keep myself sidelined.” These bursts of hype pushed more orders onto the books and helped lift the price in a short time.

Past Calls Have Moved Markets

Hayes has prompted market moves before. At a Tokyo conference in August 2025, he predicted Hyperliquid’s HYPE token could climb 126 times over three years.

That call produced a modest market response then — roughly a 5% uptick for HYPE — but it showed how a single forecast from a well-known figure can sway trader behavior.

Market participants say such calls sometimes lead to brief spikes and sometimes to longer trends. Follow-through, depth of liquidity, and general demand all matter.

Privacy Tokens See Renewed Interest

Reports have disclosed that Zcash rallied close to 500% over the last 30 days and crossed a $5 billion market cap on Sunday, according to CoinMarketCap data.

At the same time, Monero, the largest privacy coin by market cap, ticked up about 3.2% to trade near $345 and remains restricted on many big exchanges, highlighting differences in access and regulatory pressure.

Technical Indicators Show Choppy Momentum

According to a recent Zcash price outlook, ZEC is forecast to rise about 52% and reach $558 by November 26, 2025. Current technical indicators are flagged Bullish, while the Fear & Greed Index sat at 51, a neutral reading.

Over the past 30 days Zcash posted 19/30 green days, which is 63%, and showed 37% price volatility. Those numbers point to strong recent momentum but also to a bumpy ride. Some gains may hold if new buyers arrive and liquidity tightens; other gains could fade quickly if selling pressure appears.

Based on reports and the data above, the Zcash move highlights how social signals can trigger rapid trading flows. The numbers are eye-catching. Still, traders and observers will be watching whether demand deepens or the rally is a short-lived reaction to hype.

The aftermath of the October 10 flash crash continues to weigh on the cryptocurrency market, with major digital assets still showing signs of strain.  Recent data from an on-chain analysis sheds light on one of the underlying factors behind the market struggle.

Stablecoin Netflow In Downtrend — Analyst

In a recent QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, a market analyst with the username CryptoOnchain reported an interesting change in stablecoin activity on the Binance exchange. This analysis is based on readings from the ‘Total Stablecoin Netflow On Binance (Last 60 Days) & 7-Day MA ‘ and shows potentially compelling implications for the general market. 

According to CryptoOnchain, the 7-day moving average of the combined stablecoin netflow (purple line) has decisively dipped beneath the ‘zero’ mark, marking a shift from sustained inflows to accelerating outflows.

Crypto Onchain further explained that the downward trend seen in the stablecoin netflow chart has been reinforced by significant spikes in outflows occurring over the past two days. With neither of the two major categories excluded, this ‘capital flight’ involves stablecoins both on the TRC20 network (one of which is USDT), and those operating under the ERC20 network.

Market Outlook In The Short Term 

Generally, an increase in stablecoin netflow to exchange platforms reflects an increasing demand for cryptocurrencies, as stablecoins are mostly exchanged for other online assets. Therefore, the decrease in stablecoin netflow presently seen signals reduced interest in other risky assets and a growing inclination among market participants to exclude themselves from participating in a risky market environment. 

This pattern of capital exiting exchanges, especially after a major price correction, typically points to what the analyst termed “a weakening ‘buy the dip’ appetite.” If history is anything to go by, this could be an early sign that the crypto market is about to see an even more intense amount of bearish pressure, especially in the short term.

As of this writing, Bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, stands at a valuation of approximately $111,400, showing a slight price growth of 0.54% over the past day. Also showing a similarly minute appreciation over the past 24 hours is Ethereum, which is worth about $3,936. Meanwhile, the total stablecoin market cap remains valued at $319 billion following a 0.14% gain in the past day.

Stablecoin popularity is high as the assets move beyond crypto trading desks into real-world payments—but convenience comes at a cost.

Following speculation regarding a potential return, Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, the co-founder and former CEO of Binance, has sparked discussions about the implications of his recent presidential pardon for the exchange’s operations in the United States. 

Will CZ Reclaim His CEO Position At Binance? 

Industry observers suggest that this major development for CZ and Binance as a whole could pave the way for Zhao to resume leadership roles and consolidate Binance’s US operations.

According to Bloomberg, the company is exploring several options, including the possibility of integrating Binance.US into its global operations or having its global exchange enter the US market, as indicated by a source familiar with the matter. 

“This cycle is largely being driven by U.S. institutional investors and investment products, and that’s precisely where Binance can now shift its focus,” stated Markus Thielen, CEO of 10x Research. 

He added that the US affiliate will likely be reintegrated into Binance’s global ecosystem, providing US investors with direct access to the platform’s “deep liquidity and comprehensive derivatives offerings.”

Attention is now focused on whether Zhao will attempt to reclaim the CEO role he previously stepped away from. In recent weeks, he updated his profile on social media platform X from “ex-Binance” to simply “@Binance,” a subtle change that has fueled speculation about his intentions.

However, not everyone believes Zhao is eager to return as CEO. David Namdar, who manages a BNB treasury company backed by Zhao’s family office, commented, “I think he is operating with more of a weight off his shoulders not running the exchange. I’d be surprised if he stepped back into that role.”

Industry Leaders Predict Increased Involvement 

Patrick Horsman, chief investment officer of digital asset treasury (DAT) firm Applied DNA Sciences, which invests in Binance Coin (BNB), emphasized that Binance’s technology, liquidity, and relatively low fees could position it as a dominant player in the American crypto market.

However, Bloomberg highlights that the pardon may not only enhance Zhao’s personal prospects but also unlock new opportunities for Binance’s global expansion. 

Notably, the firm holds minority stakes in affiliates throughout Asia, including Thailand and Malaysia, where regulatory frameworks impose ownership suitability tests on major shareholders. 

“A criminal conviction can pose a barrier for any individual seeking a beneficial ownership stake in a regulated or listed company,” explained Chris Holland, a partner at HM, a consulting firm based in Singapore.

Cosmo Jiang, general partner at Pantera, anticipates that Zhao will become “more involved with Binance’s operations” now that he has received a pardon. “Whenever a founder returns to a company, it’s always an invigorating moment; you typically see more growth and better execution,” he noted.
