Dogecoin is flashing a rare weekly “bearish cross” just as traders debate whether last week’s $0.08 washout was the cycle’s reset or merely the first leg lower. The setup matters beyond DOGE itself because memecoin flows are increasingly being treated as a proxy for risk appetite across crypto. Is The Dogecoin Bottom In? A chart shared by Charting Guy shows the 20-week EMA crossing below the 200-week EMA, a technical event he argues has historically aligned with DOGE capitulation. “DOGE typically bottoms around when the 20 weekly EMA crosses below the 200 weekly EMA. That happened last week” he wrote, adding that he “increased my position by 50% at the lows” and that his community received buy alerts. That framing is colliding with more cautious range-based reads from other analysts watching spot structure instead of the moving-average signal alone. Related Reading: Dogecoin Is Now In The ‘Maximum Opportunity / Minimum Risk’ Zone: Crypto Analyst Daan Crypto Trades described the post-dip bounce as constructive, but explicitly framed it as range trade rather than trend confirmation. “DOGE Decent price action here over the past few days after the big $0.08 test last week. Currently seeing this $0.08-$0.13 area as a large range,” he posted. “Anything above that point would make me confident in a further move towards the Daily 200MA/EMA. Currently near the middle so hard to really assume a direction here the way it’s trading.” On his chart, DOGE/USDT was sitting around the middle of that band near $0.10–$0.11, with the upper range marker around $0.132 and the lower boundary near $0.088. In other words: not a clean trend, not a clean mean reversion, just a market waiting for a push. That “waiting” can be expensive in a leverage-heavy coin. CEO of Aphractal João Wedson struck a stark tone, warning: “If you are long on Doge, you will likely be liquidated soon!” Related Reading: Why Dogecoin (DOGE) Can’t Break $0.10 Despite Short-Term Bounce and Neutral RSI An aggregated liquidation heatmap shared by Alphractal highlights why this warning resonates with derivatives traders: thick bands of potential liquidation levels sit below current price over the past three days, suggesting stop-driven moves could cascade if DOGE starts trending instead of chopping. Wedson also argued that DOGE rallies can function as a broader volatility tell for Bitcoin, calling them “a risk signal for Bitcoin” and saying it “usually happens when Bitcoin is moving sideways.” Alphractal echoed the rotation narrative in a longer note on flows. “Over the past few days, memecoins have significantly outperformed BTC and other altcoins. What stood out the most was Dogecoin, where the number of trades surpassed all others in its category,” the account wrote. “However, in the last few hours, memecoins have started to correct while BTC remains relatively stable.” The near-term map is clean even if the conviction isn’t. Bulls need a decisive reclaim of the top of the $0.08–$0.13 range to credibly reopen the path toward the daily 200 MA/EMA that Daan flagged. Bears, meanwhile, will focus on whether the market revisits the $0.08 area and whether that level holds on a second test with liquidation clusters in play. At press time, Dogecoin traded at $0.10.

Solana (SOL) Gears Up For Another Rally Attempt — Can Bulls Clear $92 Barrier?

Solana failed to stay above $90 and corrected gains. SOL price is still above $85 and might attempt another increase in the near term. SOL price started a downside correction below $90 against the US Dollar. The price is now trading above $85 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a rising channel forming with resistance at $88 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could extend losses if it dips below the $85 zone. Solana Price Starts Downside Correction Solana price failed to surpass $92 and started a downside correction, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL dipped below $90 and $88 to enter a short-term bearish zone. There was a move below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $76.54 swing low to the $91.20 high. However, the bulls were active above the $82 support. The price is back above $85. There is also a rising channel forming with resistance at $88 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading above $85 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $88 level. The next major resistance is near the $90 level. The main resistance could be $92. A successful close above the $92 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $95. Any more gains might send the price toward the $102 level. Another Decline In SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $92 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $85 zone. The first major support is near the $82 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $76.54 swing low to the $91.20 high. A break below the $82 level might send the price toward the $76.50 support zone. If there is a close below the $76.50 support, the price could decline toward the $72 support in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for SOL/USD is gaining pace in the bullish zone. Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for SOL/USD is above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $85 and $82. Major Resistance Levels – $88 and $92.

46% Of Bitcoin Supply Now In Loss—What It Could Take For A Bottom

On-chain data shows almost half of all Bitcoin is currently underwater, representing overhead supply that might need to be absorbed before a price bottom. Around 9.31 Million Bitcoin Is Now Being Held At A Loss In a new post on X, CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has talked about why a true Bitcoin bottom takes time to form. To illustrate his point, Maartunn has shared a chart for the Bitcoin Supply In Loss, an indicator that measures, as its name suggest, the total amount of the cryptocurrency that’s being held at a net unrealized loss. As is visible in the above graph, the Bticoin Supply In Loss shrunk down to zero as the asset set its new all-time high (ATH) back in October. Since then, however, the metric’s value has sharply expanded as the cryptocurrency has gone through its bearish reversal. Related Reading: Bitcoin NUPL Back In Hope/Fear Region: What Happens Next? Today, the indicator is sitting at 9.31 million BTC, which is the highest that it has been since the 2022 bear market. In terms of supply percentage, this amount is equivalent to 46% of all tokens in circulation. Generally, holders in loss look forward to retests of their cost basis level so that they can exit with their capital back. Currently, there would be a significant amount of such investors. “A large share of holders are waiting to sell at breakeven or a small profit,” noted the analyst. Another on-chain indicator called the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) showcases which levels exactly the underwater hands bought their Bitcoin at. As displayed in the indicator’s chart, the Bitcoin loss supply is particularly clustered between the $80,000 to $95,000 and $105,000 to $120,000 ranges. Given the distance that the current BTC price has to these levels, it’s possible that traders who bought inside the ranges will stay underwater in the near future. Upward moves for the asset would naturally be met with selling pressure from these investors looking to cut their losses. “That overhead supply must be absorbed and redistributed to stronger hands before a durable bottom can emerge,” explained Maartunn. Related Reading: Bitcoin On-Chain Heatmap Shows All Major Metrics In The Red During the previous bear market, the Bitcoin Supply In Loss dropped to even lower levels than now and the market observed a long phase of consolidation before this transfer of loss supply to more resolute hands could occur. It now remains to be seen how long the cryptocurrency will take to reach a floor this time around. BTC Price Bitcoin has taken to sideways movement since its recovery from the $60,000 low as its price is still trading around $68,600. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP Vs Gold Hits Historic Zone As Sentiment Capitulates: Analyst

Crypto sentiment has slid to what CryptoinsightUk founder Will Taylor describes as “historical lows,” and the damage is starting to show up in higher-timeframe indicators that rarely flash. In a Feb. 14 weekly note, Taylor argued the setup is shifting from “collapse” to late-stage drawdown and pointed to XRP priced in gold as one of the cleanest tells. Taylor framed the week as “another painful week in crypto,” but said the timing of the pessimism matters. On Bitcoin’s weekly chart, he wrote, BTC “has just hit oversold levels for only the third time in recent history,” adding that the prior two occurrences marked either the bear market low or “very close to it.” In his telling, extreme sentiment paired with a statistically rare signal leans toward exhaustion rather than fresh downside acceleration. The core of Taylor’s argument rests on positioning for a volatility expansion in Bitcoin dominance. He said Bollinger Bands on dominance are “extremely compressed,” a configuration he views as unstable: “Compression leads to expansion. And expansion leads to volatility. In simple terms, volatility is inbound.” Related Reading: Liquidity Or Liability? History’s Hard Lessons For The XRP Momentum Play Direction is the debate. Taylor’s base case is a downside break in dominance – eventually below 36% – which, if paired with a resilient or rising Bitcoin price, would imply not just new money entering crypto but rotation across the risk curve. He cited a prior episode as a template: in November 2024, when dominance fell by roughly 10 percentage points, “XRP saw a subsequent move of around 490%,” which he characterized as “a vertical expansion.” To corroborate the rotation setup, Taylor pointed to the OTHERS/BTC ratio: the market outside the top 10 relative to Bitcoin. On the monthly timeframe, he said RSI “has just crossed bullish,” and that the chart is “on the verge of printing” a second green monthly MACD volume candle after what he described as a bullish cross near the lows. The combined picture, he argued, is alignment: altcoins starting to regain relative strength as dominance volatility compresses. XRP Against Gold: A ‘Historic Zone’ Setup Taylor’s more specific claim centered on XRP priced in gold, a pairing he said is largely ignored despite being structurally informative. “When you look at XRP priced against gold, what you’ll notice is that we’ve pulled back into an extremely strong historical support region,” he wrote. “At the same time, on the monthly timeframe, the RSI has reached levels we have only ever seen once before. And that was just before the 2017 parabolic expansion.” From there, Taylor sketched a scenario rather than a prediction: if XRP holds that support and completes what he called a 4.236 Fibonacci extension “from this structure,” the move could be “around 20x against gold.” He stressed the usual caveat that relative performance doesn’t map cleanly to the dollar pair. “That does not automatically mean 20x against the dollar,” he wrote, noting gold itself could weaken, and “macro conditions could shift.” Related Reading: XRP Community Day Recap: The 7 Most Bullish Takeaways Still, he argued the relative signal is the point. In his framework, sustained outperformance versus gold suggests capital “aggressively rotating into risk,” a backdrop where altcoins tend to lead. Taylor added a second relative-strength angle: XRP versus Ethereum. He floated an Elliott Wave interpretation in which XRP may have completed wave one and wave two against ETH, setting up a potential wave three: “typically the most aggressive, most explosive leg.” While calling Elliott Wave “a framework, not a certainty,” he emphasized a momentum detail: monthly RSI holding above 50 through consolidation, which he viewed as consistent with continuation rather than breakdown.

Ethereum Price Near Technical Flashpoint With Big Move Brewing

Ethereum price found support near $1,928 and recovered some losses. ETH is now consolidating and faces key hurdles near $2,020. Ethereum is attempting a fresh recovery wave above $1,950. The price is trading below $2,020 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $1,950 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a fresh decline if it stays below the $2,020 zone. Ethereum Price Faces Resistance Ethereum price failed to stay above $2,000 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price traded below the $1,950 and $1,940 levels to enter a bearish zone. Finally, the bulls appeared near $1,925. A low was formed at $1,928, and the price started a recovery wave. There was a move above the $1,950 resistance. The price even spiked above the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,101 swing high to the $1,928 low. Ethereum price is now trading below $2,020 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $1,950, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,020 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,101 swing high to the $1,928 low. The first key resistance is near the $2,035 level. The next major resistance is near the $2,060 level. A clear move above the $2,060 resistance might send the price toward the $2,120 resistance. An upside break above the $2,120 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,150 resistance zone or even $2,185 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,020 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1,970 level. The first major support sits near the $1,940 zone or the trend line. A clear move below the $1,940 support might push the price toward the $1,880 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $1,820 region. The main support could be $1,780. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bullish zone.

Solana Range Compression Is Signaling A Major Move Ahead

Solana is tightly compressed inside a defined range after sweeping liquidity on both sides. With volatility fading and pressure building, the current structure suggests a major breakout move could be approaching. $77–$90 Range Remains Firmly Intact Solana remains locked inside a well-defined $77–$90 range, with the broader outlook suggesting that any major resolution is more likely to unfold to the downside toward $57. According to Umair Crypto, the price has been consolidating within this band for the past 11 days, with liquidity already swept on both ends. That behavior signals a balanced market environment rather than a trending one. Related Reading: Solana Funding Rates Hit 17-Day Negative Streak — What This Means For Price Currently, Solana is trading below the range’s point of control (POC), which introduces slight short-term bearish pressure. However, from a structural standpoint, the market remains in choppy consolidation. A short-term move toward $81–$82 remains possible for another rotation higher, and even a marginal push toward $93 could occur if the highs are taken again. Still, unless $90 is decisively reclaimed and flipped into support with strong volume, such moves would likely qualify as deviations rather than sustainable breakouts. For now, the primary expectation is continued consolidation before a larger expansion phase begins. If the range ultimately resolves to the downside, $57 stands out as the broader target. Until a clear structural shift occurs, this remains a range-trading environment, not trend-trading. Solana Wyckoff Reaccumulation Unfolding After Brutal Downtrend Trader Tardigrade recently shared a detailed outlook suggesting that Solana is undergoing a classic Wyckoff Reaccumulation pattern after its prolonged and exhausting grind lower. Following months of distribution-like price action and volatility, the current structure appears to be transitioning into a base-building phase that could eventually support a larger cycle advance if key levels continue to hold. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Trades Heavy Below $90 As Breakdown Risk Grows According to the breakdown, Phase A began with a Selling Climax (SC) near $110 in August 2024, followed by an Automatic Rally (AR) toward approximately $264. Phase B then unfolded through multiple Secondary Tests (STs), alongside a notable Upthrust After (UA) fakeout near $295. Phase C appears to have completed with a Spring formation around the $68 level in early 2026 — a sharp wick rejection that likely swept liquidity before reversing. The market is now potentially entering Phase D, which would require Solana to firmly hold above $95 for a confirmed Sign of Strength (SOS) rally. If this structure continues to play out as outlined, projected upside targets include a Last Point of Support (LPS) near $150, a Backup (BU/LPS) zone around $250, and eventually a broader markup phase that could extend toward $350–$500 or higher. However, the bullish thesis remains conditional; SOL must continue to defend the Spring low and demonstrate constructive volume behavior to validate the larger cycle advance.

Analyst Reveals What XRP Price Will Move Toward In Bid For $4

The XRP price is flashing strong signs of a potential breakout, as one analyst points to a growing liquidity imbalance that could send the cryptocurrency racing toward $4. Currently trading near $1.5, which is more than 180% below that target, XRP would require substantial bullish momentum and a notable shift in market sentiment to reach this level. Liquidity Structure Signals XRP Price Rally To $4 In a recent X post, XRP Ledger (XRPL) developer Bird said XRP is shaping up well at current levels, arguing that its broader liquidity structure now favors an aggressive upside move. Bird shared a detailed chart, explaining that most of the liquidity resting below the current price has already been cleared, reducing the likelihood of an immediate move to lower levels. Related Reading: XRP Price Enters ‘Final Shakeout Zone’, What Investors Should Expect On the other hand, deep liquidity, particularly in the dark red zones on the chart, remains stacked above, extending toward $4. Those areas, he noted, are likely packed with short positions, leveraged trades, and stop levels. While emphasizing that the XRP price itself does not have any specific direction or target at this current time, Bird stated that markets naturally gravitate toward liquidity because the largest concentration of orders is often found there. As the XRP price pushes into upper liquidity zones, the analyst noted that short sellers may get forced out of their positions. Since closing a short requires buying back XRP at higher prices, that process can add fresh upward pressure to the market. Bird noted that liquidations typically create buying pressure, which can push prices higher. As prices rise, more short positions are closed, creating a self-reinforcing cycle. Moreover, as momentum grows, retail traders often jump in, further increasing volatility and driving prices up even faster. According to the analyst, XRP has historically shown the ability to produce rapid, aggressive rallies once a liquidation-driven momentum builds. If prices begin to tap into the areas with stacked liquidity, a move toward the $4 region could happen fast, fueled by closed short positions and expanding market participation. XRP Approaches Make Or Break Zone In a separate analysis, market analyst ‘Master of Crypto’ shared new insights into XRP’s recent price behavior and potential outlook. He stated that the cryptocurrency is currently approaching a major decision zone that could determine if it enters a fresh bullish phase or continues its previous downtrend. Related Reading: XRP Price Has Just Reached Most Oversold Level In History And This Analyst Is Predicting A Bounce According to the analyst, after weeks of trading in a clear downtrend channel on the chart, XRP’s price is now testing the upper trendline of the structure. He predicts that if price breaks and holds above this line near $1.8 with strong volume, then a surge toward $2.00 is highly probable. On the flip side, Master of Crypto forecasts that if XRP is rejected in this area, the cryptocurrency could experience a final pullback toward $1.4 before a real breakout. The analyst has said that XRP’s next move depends entirely on how its price reacts to the $1.8 resistance level. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP Ledger Positioned At The Heart Of Japan’s Next Financial Transformation

With a strong regulatory environment, proactive institutional participation, and a growing appetite for blockchain-powered financial solutions, Japan is positioning itself at the forefront of next-generation finance, and XRPL is increasingly becoming central to that vision. Japan is placing a huge bet on the XRP Ledger identity and leading protocol. Crypto analyst Stellar Rippler revealed on X that a senior banker from the Bank of Japan (BoJ), Kazuo Ueda, reportedly stated that SBI holdings has invested in XRP, XRP Ledger-native identity protocols, compliance, and lending projects. Meanwhile, that backdrop became even more significant when SBI Holdings CEO Yoshitaka Kitao said the firm holds hidden assets worth more than its officially disclosed 9% stake, which is valued at over $10 billion. Why Japan Is Looking Beyond Payments To XRPL Infrastructure Interestingly, the strategic direction becomes clearer when viewed through the lens of identity. Ripple’s president, Monica Long, has described decentralized identity on XRPL as a way to turn personal information into a secure, portable digital token that users can carry globally and selectively share, replacing reliance on centralized platforms. Related Reading: XRP Ledger DEX Metrics Flash Strong Growth As Activity Touches New Key Levels This vision is already taking shape at the infrastructure level. DNAOnChain’s XDNA applies this model with zero-knowledge proofs to transform identity and compliance data into verifiable zk-credentials. Also, these allow institutions to confirm eligibility and regulatory status without exposing sensitive information. However, the SBI’s hidden asset has extended beyond XRP, and it’s pointing toward the XRPL’s identity and zero-knowledge credential layer, where XDNA fits in as the infrastructure institutions needed. XRP is actively used as a bridge currency for liquidity on the XRP Ledger, alongside stablecoins, which are complementary. An analyst known as Vet on X has noted that recent activity on the XRPL DEX shows that RLUSD is being exchanged for EUROP, a euro-denominated stablecoin, with XRP acting as the bridge asset. By serving as an intermediary layer, XRP increases the liquidity of issued assets across the network. Furthermore, this design results in a proven, robust financial infrastructure that maximizes capital efficiency for everyday users and institutions. At the same time, market makers can make markets between the respective XRP pairs; they can hold the token because it is counterparty-free, which makes it the most efficient way to make markets. The Role Of The XRP In A Tokenized FX Future According to RippleBullWinkle, founder of Lux Lions NFT, the global foreign exchange market is moving roughly $9.6 trillion in daily volume. Related Reading: XRP Price Falls Below $1.6: You Won’t Believe What Institutions Are Doing Amid The Crash In the meantime, industry insiders are projecting an on-chain FX system for local currency stablecoins from countries around the world, in which they can settle directly on-chain against the dollar stablecoins. This is where XRP’s original design becomes relevant, because XRP was literally built to function as a bridge asset between currencies. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
