An announcement in January teased the potential in-app trading feature, fueling online speculation about X's upcoming Smart Cashtags.

Litecoin has closed the daily session on a bullish note, signaling renewed short-term momentum as price presses against a key resistance level at $57. A decisive breakout and sustained hold above this zone could open the door for the next leg higher, potentially accelerating upside toward the mid-$60s. The positive close signals improving short-term momentum, but broader continuation will require confirmation from additional market factors, particularly the LTCBTC pair. Although Litecoin printed a constructive candle, LTCBTC closed indecisively, reflecting hesitation in Litecoin's relative strength against Bitcoin. Sustained upside for LTC will likely depend on a shift toward clear bullish sentiment in LTCBTC, as that would confirm capital rotation and stronger underlying demand. From a structural perspective, one more strong bullish daily candle from the current level is needed to validate a breakout above the daily lower-high trendline. If such confirmation occurs, Litecoin could transition into a more established bullish phase, with the $68 resistance level emerging as the next key upside target above the $56 zone. The analyst emphasizes that a clean and sustained hold above the $57 resistance zone would signal strength and open the path toward $64, with the potential for further extension if momentum accelerates. Bitcoin's direction will likely dictate whether this breakout gains traction, as Litecoin continues to follow broader market sentiment, meaning BTC's strength could act as a catalyst for further gains. The analyst plans to focus on lower-timeframe setups, particularly over the weekend, looking for quick scalp opportunities while waiting for a more mature chart structure before engaging in larger directional trades.

Bitcoin has experienced a turbulent week with sustained downward pressure, reinforcing a bearish market sentiment. The cryptocurrency is currently hovering around the $69,000 price region, struggling to reclaim key resistance levels. Analysts are closely monitoring on-chain data to understand investor behavior and predict Bitcoin's future direction. The recent US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, reported at 2.4%, exceeded expectations and boosted optimism for risk assets like Bitcoin. Following the CPI announcement, derivatives data showed a significant increase in Bitcoin market activity, with a notable spike in Net Taker Volume indicating a rush of buyers opening long positions. The rise in Open Interest also suggests traders are deploying new capital into leveraged positions, increasing speculative appetite but also liquidation risk. However, on-chain metrics reveal underlying fragility among short-term participants, as the STH-LTH MVRV indicator declined below previous local bottoms. This indicates short-term holders are experiencing substantial unrealized losses, a pattern historically associated with capitulation phases. Conversely, long-term holders remain resilient, demonstrating continued accumulation despite short-term market panic. The combination of increased leveraged long positions and short-term holder losses points to near-term market instability and anticipated volatility.

Bitcoin's price is currently near critical liquidity zones after experiencing downward pressure over the past week. Traders are focused on untapped liquidity around $64,000, anticipating potential price movement in this area. The market is consolidating into a range, presenting trading opportunities, according to market analysts observing the price action. The reaction to the $71,422 range high, a point of concentrated liquidity, is another key focus. Bitcoin is showing early signs of a short-term upward movement before a possible decline. The $68,000 level is now a crucial support/resistance zone indicating some shift in momentum. A new bearish channel seems to be forming, which might result in a liquidity sweep before a price fall. The premium zone, with targets around $72,200 and further liquidity between $73,000 and $74,000, is a possible temporary target. The $68,000 level also serves as important indicator; a break below confirming the bearish outlook. Monitoring both short-term upward pushes and essential support levels will aid traders in forming their strategies.

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.
