XRP's price is facing ongoing bearish pressure, despite a recent 5.7% rise that only partially offset earlier losses. An on-chain analysis indicates the XRP market might be entering an accumulation phase. This analysis focuses on the amount of XRP held on the Binance exchange. The amount of XRP on Binance has significantly dropped, reaching its lowest point since early 2024. This decline represents a decrease of over 700 million XRP in the past 15 months. Historically, reduced XRP inflows to exchanges can signal investors' reluctance to sell. CryptoOnchain suggests that this outflow indicates a decrease in sell-side liquidity. Declining exchange reserves often precede accumulation phases, potentially signaling bullish sentiment. Investors likely move XRP out of exchanges into cold storage for long-term growth. The current situation suggests a more positive outlook for XRP's price. Decreased reserves could cause a supply shock leading to price appreciation with increased demand. XRP is currently valued at $1.40, with a 3.07% gain in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin's price recently experienced a temporary upward surge, offering brief relief to traders after a week of consecutive lows. However, a concerning technical analysis suggests a potential shift towards a bearish trend for Bitcoin. Technical analyst Ali Martinez highlighted a sell signal on the monthly timeframe using the SuperTrend indicator. This indicator identifies trends, suggesting a downtrend when the price falls below its line. Historically, the SuperTrend indicator has accurately signaled past bear markets for Bitcoin. The current setup mirrors previous market cycles, with the indicator flashing sell signals before significant price drops. A decisive close below the SuperTrend line could precede a substantial Bitcoin price decline, possibly by 60%. Market dynamics have evolved, with increased institutional involvement and ETFs potentially impacting the cycle. The validity of the sell signal depends on on-chain activity and macroeconomic events. Bitcoin currently trades around $68,984, reflecting a modest daily gain but a significant monthly loss of 29%.

Despite the price recovery, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains in “extreme fear,” indicating underlying market anxiety.

Michael Saylor is urging everyone to invest in Bitcoin, believing it's a hedge against the devaluation of fiat currency. His company, Strategy, acts on this belief, steadily accumulating Bitcoin despite price fluctuations. Strategy currently holds a massive 714,644 BTC, with an average purchase price significantly higher than current market value. Recently, Strategy purchased an additional 1,142 BTC, demonstrating its commitment to its long-term Bitcoin strategy. The company's actions reflect a seven-year roadmap, aiming to increase Bitcoin holdings per share. This strategy involves buying during dips and avoiding sales. Strategy's substantial Bitcoin holdings represent nearly two-thirds of all public company Bitcoin ownership. While some applaud this conviction, others worry about market fragility if Strategy were to change course. Critics question the financial prudence of such concentrated investment in a volatile asset. Supporters, however, believe Bitcoin's long-term potential as a store of value makes paper losses temporary.

Bitcoin's price saw a strong increase on Friday, potentially aiming for $70,000 after a week of downbeat performance. On-chain data suggests this could be the beginning of a short-term rally for Bitcoin. A key indicator is the Bitcoin Funding Rate on Binance, which has hit a low not seen in over a year. The Funding Rate reflects fees paid by traders in the derivatives market; negative rates mean short traders pay long traders. The 14-day SMA of Bitcoin's Funding Rate on Binance has dropped to a low of -0.002, suggesting intense bearish sentiment. This deeply negative funding rate hints at a significant number of short positions betting against Bitcoin. Market analysts suggest these conditions often precede a market bottom. This situation could lead to a "short squeeze," where a price increase forces short sellers to cover their positions. Liquidations of short positions can fuel further price increases. As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $69,000, experiencing a 5% gain in 24 hours. The negative funding rate acts as a contrarian signal, suggesting an "overcrowded" short side of the market.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded four straight weeks of net outflows, with about $360 million withdrawn in the latest week.

Ethereum has reclaimed the crucial $2,000 level following a favorable US CPI report. This price resurgence has sparked a debate among market participants about whether this signifies a sustained recovery or a mere temporary bounce. Significant declines in futures open interest over the past month are evident across major exchanges. Funding rates have plunged into deeply negative territory, indicating strong bearish sentiment. Some on-chain metrics suggest a cluster of support lies below current price levels. The substantial drop in open interest raises questions due to potential reporting inaccuracies, but a real contraction in futures exposure is confirmed. Extremely negative funding rates, where shorts pay to maintain their positions, suggest a potential for a sharp reversal if market sentiment shifts. This pattern has historically preceded significant price upticks, though it is not a guaranteed outcome. On-chain data points to a strong support zone between $1,880 and $1,900, with approximately 1.3 million ETH traded there. The $2,000 mark acts as both a psychological barrier and is reinforced by technical indicators. A breakout from a falling wedge pattern suggests an initial target of $2,150, followed by potential resistance at $2,260 and $2,500, dependent on broader market trends and Bitcoin's performance. Reduced open interest currently mitigates the risk of cascading liquidations. However, ongoing bearish bets at low funding rates present a potential for short squeezes if momentum shifts positively. Notably, accumulation wallets have increased their inflows during price dips, suggesting conviction from some longer-term investors.

Solana has recently rebounded from a significant two-year trendline, showing a modest recovery. The cryptocurrency briefly surpassed the $85 mark, indicating a potential upturn after recent volatility. Analysts are divided on Solana's immediate future, with some predicting a retest of short-term resistance and others warning of further declines. A key level to watch is $80, which has historically acted as both support and resistance. If Solana can establish a base above $80, it could pave the way for a bullish market structure. Sustained buying pressure might push SOL towards the $88 level, a resistance point not seen since the beginning of the week. Breaking above $88 could lead to a retest of the $90-$96 zone, representing April 2025 lows. However, some analysts believe Solana is still in a markdown period, with potential for further drops. Failure to hold the $77-$78 price area could see Solana fall to support near $51. Other bearish forecasts suggest SOL could potentially bottom out around the $40 area. Currently, Solana is trading around $84.17, experiencing a slight weekly decline.

Bitcoin's current significant price drop is not unusual, as it has experienced over 20 pullbacks exceeding 40% since 2011. Mid-cycle declines of 35% to 50% have historically cooled rallies without derailing long-term uptrends. When no systemic market breakdown occurs, Bitcoin typically reclaims prior highs within approximately 14 months. Unlike 2022's structural failures, the current environment lacks widespread industry collapse, and Bitcoin's realized price around $55,000 might offer support. Recovery speed will depend on global liquidity and investor sentiment. The 2021-2022 cycle saw a 77% drop, taking 28 months to recover previous highs due to monetary tightening and crypto sector collapses. The 2020 COVID-19 crash, a 58% plunge, saw Bitcoin rebound to its 2017 high within nine months. The 2018 bear market, an 84% collapse driven by ICO bust and regulatory issues, required nearly three years to reach previous peaks. Corrections between 40% and 50% historically take nine to 14 months to recover. Bitcoin's current 50% drawdown suggests a substantial, but not fully capitulated, decline. Based on past patterns, a return to previous highs could take 12 months or more, contingent on macroeconomic factors.

Bitcoin will become “more valuable than ever” after deflation stops covering “up the impact" on the US dollar, according to Bitcoin entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano.

The Bitcoin Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) has recently fallen to 0.18. This metric assesses the overall profit or loss held by Bitcoin investors. It compares the acquisition price of Bitcoin to its current market price. A positive NUPL signifies that investors are holding unrealized profits. Historically, high NUPL levels have coincided with Bitcoin rallies, indicating widespread investor optimism. Following periods of euphoria, NUPL has typically declined into the zone between 0.25 and 0.5. While Bitcoin previously recovered from earlier drops in this range, the current downturn has been more prolonged. The current NUPL of 0.18 suggests that profits are still present but are significantly reduced. This level falls within the "hope/fear" zone according to Glassnode. In this regime, rallies often face selling pressure, and prices can continue to fall as investor confidence wanes. The last significant NUPL drop into a similar territory occurred during the 2022 bear market. Back then, the metric eventually moved into the "extreme fear" zone, indicating net losses for most investors. It remains to be seen how long Bitcoin will stay in this current hope/fear zone and what market sentiment will follow.

A US Army veteran and XRP influencer predicts XRP will surpass Bitcoin within six years. This prediction arrives amidst market volatility, with Bitcoin's value dropping and XRP fluctuating. Analysts view this forecast as highly speculative, given Bitcoin's significant market dominance. Bitcoin's market capitalization is vastly larger than XRP's, meaning XRP requires substantial growth to match it. Riley bases his prediction on long-term trendlines, believing Bitcoin's price movements favor XRP. He suggests that regardless of Bitcoin's performance, XRP will eventually become the leading cryptocurrency. However, trendlines alone don't guarantee outcomes, as market dynamics are complex. Riley has previously made controversial claims, adding fuel to the discussion within his community. Bitcoin's established position, strong network, and liquidity present major hurdles for XRP. XRP would need significant adoption and investor confidence to close the market gap. Ultimately, the scenario of XRP overtaking Bitcoin remains speculative, requiring dramatic market shifts.
