Компания Ripple, разработчик криптовалюты XRP и одноименного блокчейна XRP Ledger, заявила о готовящейся модернизации сети, которая поможет совместить традиционные финансы с DeFi-инструментами.

Курс биткоина с мая удерживается в зоне консолидации, но без возобновления сильного спроса со стороны инвесторов новые максимумы цены выглядят маловероятными, заявили эксперты платформы Glassnode.

Bitcoin is currently trending above key technical levels, signaling stability. After closing at $107,493 BTC remains above both the 25-period and 50-period SMAs, suggesting bulls are still in control, for now. However, without a noticeable spike in volume to fuel momentum, this calm may prove temporary.

Bitcoin Moonwalks Past Key SMAs – Can Bulls Keep The Dance Going?

Shaco AI’s analysis on X revealed that Bitcoin has shown impressive strength over the last four hours, with the price closing at $107,493.07. This move placed BTC above the 25-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) of $106,954.17 and comfortably above the 50-period SMA at $104,913.16. According to Shaco AI, this price action suggests that Bitcoin might be preparing to establish a base above these moving averages, indicating short-term bullish intent.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently stands at 59.91, a level Shaco AI considers balanced, neither signaling overbought nor oversold conditions. This neutral zone implies that BTC still has room to climb without facing immediate pressure from overheated momentum.

Further strengthening the case for bullish momentum, Shaco AI pointed out that the MACD is showing a positive value of +618.43. This reading supports the idea of sustained upward movement, hinting that market participants remain inclined toward buying rather than selling at this stage.

Despite the optimistic signs, Shaco AI also noted the ADX value at 18.32, suggesting that the trend strength remains relatively weak for now. While the current setup leans bullish, the low ADX reading serves as a reminder that momentum could shift quickly, and traders should monitor for any changes in trend strength.

Volume Woes: A Party Missing Its Guests 

Shaco AI, in the same analysis, flagged a concern around trading activity and volume. According to the analyst, Bitcoin’s current volume sits at just 497.62, a sharp drop compared to its average of 2,038.98. In Shaco AI’s words, “it’s like hosting a party but forgetting to send out half the invites,” highlighting the lack of strong participation behind the recent price action.

Turning to key technical zones, Shaco AI identified $108,272.45 as the immediate resistance to watch. A break above this level could open the door for more upside, but if momentum fades, the analyst cautioned that support around $98,200 may come into play.

As for the near-term strategy, Shaco AI advises traders to monitor for breakouts — but with caution. The combination of low volume and only mild trend strength could make price action more unpredictable, increasing the likelihood of fakeouts or sudden reversals.

The price of Bitcoin has had quite the rollercoaster ride over the last seven days, rising from its early-week blues marked by a crash to below the $100,000 mark. The flagship cryptocurrency has roared back to life, running to as high as $108,000 in the past few days.

This recent resurgence has not particularly reflected on the blockchain, with the latest on-chain data suggesting that traders are not willing to bet on Bitcoin’s price. A popular market analytics platform has now evaluated this scenario, putting forward the potential impact on price.

Declining Funding Rates Reflect Increased Short-Side Positioning: Glassnode

In a June 27 post on the X platform, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode revealed that the funding rate for Bitcoin, which has been on a decline over the past few months, seems to be stuck in a downward trend. The relevant indicators here are “Annualized Perpetual (perp) Funding Rates” and “Binance 3-Month (3M) Futures Annualized Rolling Basis” metrics.

The Annualized Perp Funding Rates is a key metric that tracks the periodic payments between long and short traders in the derivatives (perpetual futures) market. This indicator offers timely insights into the sentiment and leverage in the cryptocurrency derivatives market.

When the funding rate is high or positive, it implies that the long traders are paying the traders with short positions. Typically, this direction of the periodic payment suggests a strong bullish sentiment in the market. Meanwhile, a negative value of the metric means that short traders are paying long traders — suggesting a bearish market sentiment.

On the other hand, the 3-Month (3M) Futures Annualized Rolling Basis estimates the annualized yield from buying a cryptocurrency on the spot market and concurrently selling the crypto’s futures contract expiring in 3 months. Typically, futures contracts trade at a higher price than the spot asset — a difference that traders can exploit for profit.

As shown in the chart above, the Annualized Perp Funding Rates and 3-Month (3M) Futures Annualized Rolling Basis have been falling since last November. “Despite high futures activity, appetite for long exposure is fading, reflecting increased caution and possibly more neutral or short-side positioning,” Glassnode noted.

In essence, the declining funding rates and 3-month rolling basis indicate that short traders are continuously crowding the derivatives market. While there has been a cautious approach to the market from traders, institutional flows into US-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and an improving macroeconomic climate have been quite a silver lining.

Hence, even if the funding rates keep falling, but the macroeconomic environment and institutional capital inflow remain steady, the market could witness a short squeeze — where short traders are forced to close their positions. This potential scenario is even supported by the fact that the market tends to move in the crowd’s opposite direction.

Bitcoin Price At A Glance

As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $107,180, showing no significant movement in the past 24 hours.

The altseason, one of the most anticipated events of the crypto bull market, may potentially remain on hold following recent insights by some prominent market analysts. Notably, the current crypto cycle has shown little progress toward a true altseason, with Bitcoin Dominance holding strong, signaling a continued preference among investors for the leading cryptocurrency over alternative digital assets.

Bitcoin Dominance Tipped To Hit 74%, Altseason Remains Elusive

In an X post on June 27, renowned market analyst with X username Rekt Capital projected the Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) to experience a steady rise to 74%. Following Bitcoin’s price dip in the early last week, the analyst highlighted a successful retest of the 64% dominance level noting that, historically, such retests are typically followed by a continued rise without meaningful pullbacks until the 71% mark.

Notably, this market insight suggests Bitcoin is likely to keep attracting a massive influx of investment suggesting an altseason may be a distant concept for the present market cycle. For context, the altseason defines a period in the bull cycle when altcoins outperform Bitcoin. It is generally indicated by a fall in Bitcoin Dominance indicating a shift in investors capital from the market leader to other cryptocurrencies.

The altseason has been a major talking point in recent months as some analysts citing the staggering increase in altcoins in past recent years as a major obstacle to replicating the feat seen in 2017 and 2021. Meanwhile, other analysts have argued against this logic stating that while a broad-based altseason may be less likely, a more selective version, featuring strong performances from specific projects, remains on the table. Meanwhile, another popular market expert with X username Daan Crypto has highlighted the altcoin market’s struggling performance since 2024. The analyst explains that altcoins has been stuck in a sideways structure over the past eighteen months, lacking the clear bullish momentum seen in the Bitcoin market. According to Daan Crypto, the key resistance level for the altcoin market lies around the $1.27 trillion mark, a high from earlier in 2024. A confirmed breakout above this level could signal renewed investor appetite for altcoins and push the structural momentum needed for an altseason to begin.

Crypto Market Overview

At the time of writing, the total crypto market cap is valued at $3.24 trillion following a 0.08% gain in the past day. As the market leader, Bitcoin currently holds a market dominance of 64.9%. The remaining 35.1% is accounted for by the altcoin market which is presently valued at $1.11 trillion. 

Bitcoin has come a long way from merely being a financial experiment to becoming an important store of value. Currently sitting at a six-figure valuation, the flagship cryptocurrency has amassed a horde of investors who actively profit from its directional movements. 

Despite all its growth, Bitcoin’s price action still stands influenced by moments of frenzy, fear, and also caution in investors. At the moment, on-chain data points out that Bitcoin might be at a phase where caution is the order of things. Here are the details of this revelation.

90-Day CVD Shifts To Neutral After Prolonged Trends

In a June 27 post on X, the social media platform, crypto analyst Maartunn revealed that there has been an important shift in an important metric. The relevant indicator here is the 90-day Futures Taker Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) metric, which tracks the net buying or selling pressure in BTC’s futures market. 

A positive and rising value of the metric usually means that the futures market is dominated by the buyers (Taker Buy Dominant). On the other hand, when the indicator is negative, it means that the futures market is being dominated by the short traders (Taker Sell Dominant).

In the post on X, Maartunn pointed out that the current 90-day CVD is flat, which indicates a balance between bullish and bearish forces in the market. While the Bitcoin price might have shown good signs of recovery, this piece of on-chain data suggests that the market leader might return to a consolidation range.

Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index At Neutral Levels

In another June 27th post on X, crypto analytics firm Alphractal made an on-chain observation, which shares similar implications with Maartunn’s report. Alphractal’s revelation was based on the Bitcoin: Fear and Greed Index Heatmap metric, which tracks the market sentiment shift — from extreme fear to extreme greed — over time.

The metric ranges with values from 0 to 100. The range 0-24 signals extreme fear in the market; 25-49 reads as fear, while 50 is interpreted as a neutral level, where there’s a balance between both market sentiments. On the other side of the spectrum, ranges 51-74 signal greed in the market; 75-100 signifies extreme greed in the market, showing widespread optimism that often precedes market tops.

According to data from Alphractal, the Fear and Greed Index is at 65, which is still far from the +90 levels observed in November and December 2024. This balance between the buyers and sellers could suggest that the market could be awaiting a catalyst, like macro news or on-chain developments, to get a breakout to either side of the market.

Due to the current uncertainty, traders are advised to tread with caution in the market. As of press time, Bitcoin is valued at about $107,143, with the cryptocurrency losing approximately 0.11% in the past 24 hours.

Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Price Surges Toward Recent Highs, But Retail Traders Load Up On Shorts

Prominent crypto market analyst Ted Pillows has shared a bullish outlook of the Ethereum market tipping the altcoin to attain a $10,000 price point. Pillows’ bold prediction comes after a modest ETH price uptick of 1.21% in the past week in response to Bitcoin price rebound. However, the altcoin remains in a corrective trend after declining by 9.3% in the past month.

Ethereum Ascending Channel Suggests $10k Price Target – Details

In an X post on June 27, Pillows states an interesting analysis of the ETH market highlighting the presence of multi-cycle ascending channel that stretches as far as 2017. Using the two-weeks trading chart, Pillows shows that Ethereum retests the lower boundary of this channel once every cycle initiating a series of explosive market gains.

Notably, In 2017, a retest to this lower band led to an astonishing 300x surge, while in 2020, it catalyzed a 50x run. In 2025, ETH appears to have touched the same technical level once again, raising the possibility of yet another parabolic move.

For this most recent retest, Pillows adopts a conservative outlook, forecasting a modest 6x gain, likely influenced by Ethereum’s current market cap of $292.25 billion and its increasing exposure to institutional investors, both of which signal a maturing asset. If this projections hold, ETH could surge past the $10,000 mark.

Meanwhile, several other analysts aside from Ted Pillows resonate with an ETH long-term price target of $10,000. For example, market expert with X username Crypto Patel recently echoed this outlook, emphasizing that Ethereum must reclaim and hold above the $2,800 level as a key condition for further upside.

Presently, ETH bulls face a major price barrier around the $2,600 level, where the altcoin has been rejected twice in the past month. Clearing this hurdle is crucial for a retest of the key resistance at $2,800. A breakout above that level could open the path toward the current cycle peak near $4,000.

Ethereum Network Fees Rise By 130%

In other developments, analytics company Sentora reports that the Ethereum weekly network fees hit $10.26 million representing a 130% gain on previous week. Meanwhile, the altcoin also experienced exchange withdrawals valued at $293 million as investors move their holdings to private wallets signaling a strong market confidence. At the time of writing, Ethereum continues to trade at $2,421 reflecting a minor 0.01% gain in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the altcoin’s daily trading volume is down by 16.135 and valued at $15.23 billion.

Bitwise has updated its spot Dogecoin ETF filing, providing optimism that the crypto fund could launch soon. Based on Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart’s prediction, the XRP ETFs are still expected to launch before the DOGE ETFs. 

Bitwise Amends S-1 For Spot Dogecoin ETF

According to a SEC filing, the asset manager has filed an amended registration statement for its spot Dogecoin ETF. This has increased optimism that the SEC could soon approve this fund. In an X post, Balchunas stated that the amendment is a good sign as it indicates that Bitwise is engaging with the Commission. 

The Bloomberg analyst further remarked that the amendment also tracks with other spot approvals. Meanwhile, he revealed that a huge change that Bitwise made to the spot Dogecoin ETF filing is the addition of in-kind creations and redemptions. This ETF mechanism enables authorized participants (APs) to create and redeem shares using DOGE instead of cash. 

Balchunas noted that this provision wasn’t initially there when Bitwise filed for a spot Dogecoin ETF in January. The analyst also declared that it is a “near lock” at this point that in-kind will be allowed in spot ETFs across the board. Besides Bitwise, asset managers 21Shares and Grayscale have also filed to offer a Dogecoin ETF. 

Earlier in the month, 21Shares had filed an amended S-1 for its spot DOGE ETF. Back then, Eric Balchunas stated that the amendment made things maybe even more interesting. He noted how amendments are typically filed after comments from the SEC. As such, there is the possibility that the Commission has given feedback to two prospective DOGE ETF issuers. 

Grayscale is the only spot Dogecoin ETF issuer that has yet to file an amended registration statement. However, that could change soon if indeed the SEC is providing comments to these issuers. This would be similar to how all the prospective Solana ETF issuers amended their S-1 filings after the Commission asked them to do so. 

Will the SEC Approve the DOGE ETFs Before the XRP ETFs?

Balchunas and Seyffart predict that the SEC is unlikely to approve the spot Dogecoin ETFs before the XRP ETFs. These Bloomberg analysts recently raised their odds of approval for an XRP ETF in 2025 to 95%. Meanwhile, they predict that there is a 90% chance that the Commission will approve a DOGE ETF this year. 

Factors like the fact that XRP has a regulated futures market through the CME put the XRP ETFs above the Dogecoin ETFs. Seven asset managers have filed for an XRP ETF, compared to three for DOGE. The XRP Lawsuit is also coming to an end, which is another positive development. However, it is worth noting that the XRP and Dogecoin ETFs both have a final SEC deadline of October 17, which means they could be approved on the same day. 

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.

Dogecoin is starting to stabilize above the $0.16 level again, as shown by its price action in the past 48 hours. As it stands, bulls of the meme coin are trying to reverse the downtrend that began earlier this month, which saw its price pull back to $0.146 early last week. 

However, although current sentiment may seem sluggish, a look at historical trends suggests that the recent pullback could be the calm before an explosive continuation. Interestingly, technical analysis shows that Dogecoin might be on track to valuations above $20 if it repeats one of its previous cycle trends. 

Potential 120X Dogecoin Rally Above $20+

An analysis shared on X by crypto analyst Javon Marks takes a look at Dogecoin’s cyclical nature and price playout in previous cycles to predict its future movement for the current cycle. By mapping Dogecoin’s 12-day candlestick chart, the analyst identified three distinct phases of accumulation followed by massive growth: the 2017 rally, the massive 2021 bull run, and what appears to be the early-to-mid stages of the current cycle. 

Each of the previous cycles began with months of sideways or slightly upward movement before finally going into parabolic gains. This pattern, which first took place in 2017, not only repeated in 2021 but ended up with larger returns and started from a higher base.

As shown in the chart below, Dogecoin surged by about 90X from its accumulation range in 2017. That was followed in 2021 by a bigger 306X rally that pushed DOGE into the mainstream and ended up with its current all-time high around $0.73. 

Now in 2025, despite some mid-cycle volatility, Dogecoin’s price chart is once again forming a familiar pattern of an ascending consolidation phase with higher lows. This upward-sloping foundation is significant because it shows that Dogecoin is setting the stage for another large macro movement.

If the trend continues, the analyst predicted that Dogecoin could go on a rally of over 120 times its current value. In this case, the analyst projected a price target above $20 for Dogecoin’s next significant peak.  

This Cycle Could Be The Most Explosive Yet

The 2017 bull run delivered a 90X surge, followed by a much larger 306X explosion in 2021. If the same exponential growth pattern holds true, the current cycle could dwarf the price gains seen in both previous rallies. 

Cycle-based projections have been the rave for Dogecoin and other large market cap cryptocurrencies. These predictions have resonated with technical analysts, especially with meme coin traders, because of how closely Bitcoin and Ethereum have adhered to four-year halving cycles. 

If DOGE’s performance truly follows its past, the rally to $20 will undoubtedly align with a wider altcoin euphoria that’s typically seen at the height of bull markets. Based on the current circulating supply of Dogecoin, a surge to $20 would see its market cap rising above $2 trillion. At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.162, inching up by a small 0.8% in the past 24 hours.

The altcoin market has endured prolonged volatility and intense selling pressure for months, leaving many investors questioning when the long-awaited altseason will finally arrive. Since early last year, major altcoins have seen sharp declines, with most trading well below their cycle highs. Despite temporary rallies, the broader sentiment has remained cautious as market participants await a stronger catalyst for sustained upside momentum.

Now, top analyst M-log1 has shared a technical view that could reshape expectations. He suggests that if Bitcoin is set to follow US stocks and break into new all-time highs in the coming days or weeks, altcoins may offer some of the best entry points seen in this cycle. Historical patterns show that Bitcoin strength often precedes aggressive moves in altcoins, particularly once BTC stabilizes at higher levels.

As Bitcoin consolidates near its highs, eyes are turning toward the altcoin market, where undervalued assets may be primed for explosive moves. With capital rotating and risk appetite slowly returning, many traders are preparing for what could be the next major shift in crypto market dynamics.

Altcoins Position For Reversal After Months Of Bleeding

Since last December, the market has faced a relentless downtrend. Many altcoins have lost over 70% of their value, with investor confidence shaken and capital flight toward Bitcoin dominating sentiment. Ethereum has also struggled to find solid footing, failing to reclaim key levels and dragging the broader altcoin space with it. Despite brief moments of strength, the market has not shown a clear path toward sustained recovery.

However, some analysts see this painful stretch as the final phase before the next bullish expansion. M-log1 shared an optimistic perspective that could shift the narrative. According to his analysis, if Bitcoin continues to mirror the strength seen in the stock market and breaks into new all-time highs in the coming days or weeks, altcoins could soon offer the best entry opportunities of the cycle. He emphasized, “I don’t know if we are going to see the run we waited for real soon, but I am absolutely not betting against it given how everything looks around.”

M-log1 believes the current phase of liquidity sweeps and volatility is a necessary setup before a major move. Once these sweeps are complete, a powerful rotation into altcoins could begin. For seasoned investors watching historical cycles, such moments of extreme weakness often precede explosive rallies. With macro conditions, technical structure, and sentiment aligning, altcoins may be nearing a key inflection point. Traders are now positioning for a potential shift — one that could redefine this phase of the bull cycle.

Ethereum’s Performance Vs. Bitcoin

The ETH/BTC weekly chart shows Ethereum trading at 0.02256 BTC, continuing a prolonged downtrend that began in early 2023. ETH has underperformed significantly against Bitcoin, highlighting a broader theme of weak altcoin dominance during this cycle. The chart reveals that Ethereum remains well below the 50-week, 100-week, and 200-week moving averages — all of which are sloping downward, reinforcing the long-term bearish structure.

While there has been a slight rebound in recent weeks, the price remains trapped in a tight consolidation range after a steep decline. Volume has also decreased, indicating indecision as traders wait for a clearer trend. If ETH fails to reclaim higher ground relative to BTC, it could delay the broader altcoin rotation investors have been anticipating.

However, this deep underperformance may offer asymmetric upside if sentiment shifts. Historically, ETH/BTC reversals have preceded strong altcoin rallies. If Ethereum can close above 0.025 BTC and flip the 50-week moving average into support, it would signal a potential reversal and broader strength in the altcoin market.

Bitcoin’s patient investors are making waves again. Long-term holders—those who haven’t sold in at least six months—have piled on a net 800,000 BTC over the past 30 days. That’s a fresh record. Prices have surged to new highs in 2025, yet these seasoned hands just keep buying.

Record Breaking Accumulation By Veteran Holders

According to CryptoQuant, the 30-day change in long-term holder supply just hit +800,000 BTC. That level has only been seen six times before. It shows real faith from investors who’ve held coins through every dip and rally. They’re shrugging off a market that’s already trading north of $100,000.

Historic Signals Point To Major Moves

Based on reports from CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost, similar spikes in LTH supply came in July 2021 and September 2024. Each of those runs led to big price jumps soon after. When patient players pile in this hard, history suggests it can set the stage for a fresh rally.

Key Price Range For Patient Buyers

CryptoQuant’s data also show coins newly qualifying as long-term were bought between $95,000 and $107,000. That zone looks like a comfort area for big whales and serious investors. It may act as a floor if Bitcoin slips, with buyers ready to defend those levels.

Support Zone For Short-Term Players

On the other side, short-term holders—those in for six months or less—have a joint cost basis just under $100,000. Glassnode warns that the $98,000–$93,000 band is critical. As long as Bitcoin stays above there, speculators can hold on. If it falls below $93,000, some of them could sell fast, digging a deeper pullback.

Patient and speculative groups are thus sending two clear messages. The long-term cohort is showing rare confidence by adding hundreds of thousands of coins. The short-term crowd is braced around familiar support levels.

Watching these on-chain clues side by side can help anyone in the market right now. If you’re holding for the long haul, you’re in good company—big players are still stacking BTC even after all the gains. If you trade more actively, keep an eye on that $98,000–$93,000 floor. A drop below could be your signal to lock in gains or tighten stops.

Overall, the balance of power favors the bulls, but only as long as support holds. Bitcoin’s history shows that when veteran holders double down, good things often follow. At the same time, speculators need enough confidence to stay in. For now, those two forces are in a delicate dance—one that could decide whether Bitcoin breaks higher or takes a deeper breath.

Bitcoin is facing a critical test as price action compresses between two key levels: the $112,000 all-time high and the $105,000 support zone. Bulls are attempting to reclaim momentum and push BTC into price discovery, while bears are working to invalidate recent gains and trigger a deeper correction. However, the current landscape is dominated by uncertainty. Volatility has surged, yet there’s no decisive trend in play, creating a tense environment filled with indecision on both sides of the market.

Fueling the speculation is fresh data from CryptoQuant, which reveals extreme Buy-Side Aggression on Bybit. Bitcoin’s Taker Buy/Sell Ratio on the exchange has spiked to 11.5, an unusually high reading that indicates traders are heavily favoring long positions. This surge in aggressive buying suggests growing confidence among bulls, who believe a breakout is imminent. However, it also introduces risk. When positioning becomes this one-sided, the market often punishes late entrants with sudden reversals.

With liquidity clustered near both the $112K resistance and the $105K support, Bitcoin appears coiled for a volatile move. Whether BTC breaks higher or loses key support will depend on how the broader market reacts to this lopsided positioning—and how long bulls can sustain the pressure without confirmation.

Bitcoin Breakout Hopes Grow Amid Heavy Long Positioning

Bitcoin has climbed 9% since last Sunday, pushing the price toward key resistance levels and reigniting hopes of a breakout above its all-time high. After weeks of consolidation and choppy action, the recent surge suggests that a decisive move could be on the horizon. Momentum is clearly building, and many analysts are growing confident that Bitcoin is preparing to challenge its $112,000 peak. If bulls manage to break through, BTC could enter price discovery and trigger a wave of fresh inflows.

Despite the optimism, risks remain elevated. The broader macroeconomic backdrop is still tight, with interest rate uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and unstable global liquidity pressuring all risk assets. Bitcoin may be showing strength, but it’s doing so in an environment that could quickly shift against risk-on positioning. This has led some traders to remain cautious, even as technicals show upside potential.

Top analyst Maartunn added fuel to the conversation by highlighting alarming data from CryptoQuant. Bitcoin’s Taker Buy/Sell Ratio on Bybit has skyrocketed to 11.5, indicating extreme Buy-Side Aggression. This means market participants on Bybit—often referred to as “Bybit Apes”—are opening heavy long positions and aggressively pressing for upside. While this reflects strong conviction, such one-sided positioning can backfire if momentum stalls or reverses.

BTC Consolidates After Sharp Rebound

Bitcoin is currently trading at $107,168 after gaining strong upward momentum from the $103,600 support level. The 8-hour chart shows a clear recovery following the June 24 bounce off the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), marked in red, which acted as a dynamic support. Price has since climbed above the 50 SMA (blue) and 100 SMA (green), signaling renewed short-term bullish momentum.

However, BTC is now facing resistance near $109,300, just below the critical $110,000 zone. This area has previously triggered multiple rejections, making it a significant short-term barrier. A confirmed breakout above this zone could open the door for a retest of the all-time high at $112,000.

Volume has slightly decreased during the recent consolidation phase, which suggests indecision. While moving averages have aligned in bullish sequence (price > 50 SMA > 100 SMA > 200 SMA), Bitcoin must maintain this structure and break above $109,300 with strong volume to validate continuation.

If bulls fail to break resistance, the $105,300–$103,600 zone will be crucial to watch for potential support. A drop below that could signal renewed downside pressure. For now, BTC remains in a bullish posture but faces a key test just ahead.

Bitcoin has been on a recovery trend after falling below $100,000 last weekend. The break of this psychological level was no doubt a demoralizing development. However, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap has since recovered, pushing toward $108,000 before hitting resistance. This resistance has become a major obstacle in the campaign for new all-time highs, and with momentum declining at this level, it carries some bearish implications for the price.

Bitcoin Resistance Says Crash Could Be Incoming

In a TradingView post, crypto analyst FirstNameHelen, outlined the resistance level that Bitcoin has failed to beat and that is now driving the bearish momentum. The analyst highlights $108,200 and $108,800 as the levels of concern, and this is where there has been significant resistance for the Bitcoin price.

This level has previously been the ceiling for the price, according to Helen, and this is why it has been important. However, the retest in a bid to break above the resistance has been unsuccessful, and this suggests that bears are still firmly in control of the price.

After this pushdown, the Bitcoin price has consolidated below the support level in the last few days. While this could sometimes mean a gathering of momentum to facilitate the next move upward, the crypto analyst explains that this means there is hesitation in the market. Since investors are not willing to move forward and remain cautious, the potential for a bearish reversal is increased as pressure rises.

The possibility of the reversal points to only a short-term rally and not a sustained move upward that could see the price reach new all-time highs. Unless the price sees a definitive break through the resistance and makes its way into the $110,000 level, then it is likely to continue its decline.

In light of the piling bear pressure, Helen has predicted that the price could move downward toward the next support level. This lies at $103,000 as the corrective wave moves into motion. It also coincides with the declining trendline from the mid-June peaks.

If this weekend plays out similarly to last weekend, then the Bitcoin price could be looking at another major crash that could send it below $100,000 again. A 10% crash would see a retest of its June lows, especially as uncertainties about the war in the Middle East abound. However, if momentum does rise again, then a breakout could be possible.

At its current price level, the Bitcoin price is only around 5% shy of breaking its all-time high of $111,900. Meanwhile, the altcoin market continues to struggle as prices sit at low levels.

BlackRock just made headlines by flipping the script: its spot Bitcoin ETF, iBIT, is now generating more fee revenue than its own S&P 500 ETF, IVV.

That’s a major milestone – and a wake-up call. When the world’s biggest asset manager starts earning more from Bitcoin than from traditional stocks, you know the tide is turning.

The crypto space isn’t just surviving the bear market anymore. It’s evolving, maturing, and starting to win over serious money.

And while Bitcoin might be leading the charge, it’s unlikely to stay alone at the top. As institutional interest expands, the best altcoins with real potential could be next in line.

Institutions Are Warming Up to Crypto – Fast

In a development few could have predicted a year ago, BlackRock’s iBIT ETF is now generating $186M in annual fees – surpassing the $183M earned by its S&P 500 ETF, IVV.

That’s not just a win for Bitcoin – it’s a bold signal that institutional interest in crypto is growing rapidly and with conviction. With billions in capital at stake, traditional finance is no longer ignoring digital assets.

This shift suggests a structural change in how institutions view crypto – no longer as a fringe speculation, but as a legitimate, fee-generating investment class.

As Bitcoin becomes normalized on Wall Street, the door opens for altcoins to follow.

New crypto projects that show promise, utility, and strong community backing may soon attract serious attention from the same institutional investors who once wouldn’t touch crypto at all.

Wall Street’s appetite is growing, and the smart money is looking for what’s next after Bitcoin.

1. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – The DeFi Gateway Wall Street Didn’t Know It Needed

Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is the powerhouse utility token behind Best Wallet, a next-gen DeFi platform redefining what a crypto wallet can be.

Designed to challenge outdated giants like MetaMask, Best Wallet is gaining serious traction thanks to advanced features, intuitive design, and a growing user base (50% monthly growth and 72K followers on X).

At the core of its ecosystem, $BEST unlocks real benefits: reduced transaction fees, early access to new crypto projects, higher staking rewards, and exclusive perks through iGaming partnerships.

It also enables access to Upcoming Tokens – a secure, in-app crypto presale hub that helps users dodge scam sites and buy early, safely.

Security is no afterthought either. The wallet is powered by Fireblocks’ MPC-CMP tech, giving users full control without compromising safety.

So far, $BEST has raised $13.6 million in its presale phase, with the current price sitting at just $0.025245.

It’s still early, but clearly not under the radar, especially with forecasts predicting a potential high of $0.072 in 2025 and up to $0.82 by 2030. Wall Street might want to start paying attention.

2. SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) – When the TikTok Brain Meets Crypto

SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) is where AI agent, influencer culture, and crypto collide. It’s not just riding the wave of viral content, it’s helping creators own it.

Built as the first AI-powered content and monetization platform, $SUBBD empowers creators to generate income directly from their audience while automating the behind-the-scenes work that usually eats up their time (and profits).

Think of it as a blockchain-native alternative to Patreon and OnlyFans, but with smarter tools.

Creators get an AI assistant to handle chat, editing, scheduling, and monetization. Fans can interact via AI-generated photos, videos, and avatars – all approved by the original influencer.

Payments are instant, low-fee, and borderless, with crypto or fiat options.

$SUBBD already boasts a combined reach of 250M+ followers through its ecosystem of creators and ambassadors.

With $702K raised and $SUBBD currently priced at $0.055775, it’s still early – but not unproven.

If Wall Street’s next bet is on the creator economy, $SUBBD may be one of the few projects that actually understands what Gen Z wants, and how to monetize it.

3. Ondo Finance ($ONDO) – Bridge Between Wall Street and DeFi

$ONDO is the token behind Ondo Finance, a project that’s bringing traditional assets like U.S. Treasuries onto the blockchain in a way that institutions can actually get behind.

Ondo Finance is all about making real-world financial tools – like bonds and short-term government debt – accessible on-chain, with full compliance and transparency.

Right now, $ONDO is trading around $0.7554.

Holding $ONDO gives you a say in how the project evolves, including decisions around new products and the development of Ondo Chain – their own upcoming Layer 1 blockchain.

One of Ondo Finance’s standout products is $OUSG – a token that gives accredited investors access to short-term U.S. Treasuries, with 24/7 minting and redeeming via RLUSD (Ripple’s USD-backed stablecoin).

It already has hundreds of millions in supply and runs on Ethereum, Solana, and the XRP Ledger.

As institutions look beyond Bitcoin for yield and stability, $ONDO is well-positioned to be part of that next move.

Altcoin Season Might Just Be Institutional This Time

If BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF success proves anything, it’s that institutions are diving into crypto.

As Wall Street looks beyond Bitcoin, projects like Best Wallet Token, SUBBD Token, and Ondo Finance offer real utility – from DeFi access to creator monetization to tokenized Treasuries. These three could be next on the institutional radar.

The US House of Representatives has advanced a new bipartisan crypto legislation to promote Blockchain adoption in different areas and boost the nation’s competitiveness with federal support.

Blockchain Promotion Bill Passes US House

On Thursday, policy tracking platform Bitcoin Laws reported that the US House of Representatives passed a bill directing the US Secretary of Commerce to lead the national efforts to promote the competitiveness of the United States and the adoption of blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies (DLT).

In February, Republican Representative Kat Cammack introduced HR 1664, also known as the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025, to establish a Blockchain Deployment Program, aiming to develop best practices and explore the adoption of blockchain in multiple areas.

According to the bill, co-sponsored by Democratic Representative Darren Soto, the Secretary would be required to serve as the President’s principal advisor for the deployment, use, application, and competitiveness of blockchain and other DLT, and take the actions necessary and appropriate to support the US leadership in this sector.

These activities include developing policies and recommendations on blockchain deployment risks, while helping promote the national security and economic security of the United States concerning blockchain technology.

Additionally, it establishes that the US Secretary of Commerce must encourage and improve coordination among Federal agencies for the deployment of these technologies to offer federal support.

If signed into law, HR 1664 would also require the establishment of advisory committees to support the adoption of blockchain technology in the first 180 days after the date of the Act’s enactment.

Following its bipartisan support, the crypto legislation was received by the Senate earlier this week to continue the legislative process.

Crypto Legislation Advances In Congress

HB 1664’s passage follows the steps of other crucial crypto legislations in Congress, which have received significant bipartisan support in the two chambers. Recently, the stablecoin-related bill, the GENIUS Act, passed the Senate’s full vote and advanced to the House of Representatives.

Meanwhile, the House’s crypto market structure bill, CLARITY Act, passed its two committee markups at the start of the month. However, the future of both legislations seemed uncertain as some lawmakers pushed to package the two bills together.

As reported by Bitcoinist, House leaders were reportedly pushing to merge the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act to increase the bills’ chances of passing Congress and being sent to US President Donald Trump’s desk before the August recess deadline.

Nonetheless, Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott revealed a new timeline for the crypto market structure framework at a press event on Thursday, suggesting an effort to keep the bills separate.

According to White House Crypto and AI Czar David Sacks’ summary of the new timeline, the legislation will be introduced before the August recess, followed by a Markup during the first week of September, and its final passage scheduled by the end of that month.

Sacks stated that “President Trump supports CLARITY on market structure as well as GENIUS on stablecoins,” adding that “July will be a big month, with a bill signing for GENIUS, and CLARITY going to the Senate!”

Crypto is once again getting political.

At a recent event, President Donald Trump reignited the debate by criticizing former President Joe Biden’s handling of crypto regulation.

According to Trump, Biden-era policies led to widespread ‘debanking’ of crypto companies and stifled innovation in the name of control.

Now, with a more crypto-friendly administration in place, digital assets have a renewed shot at mainstream support.

But while the big players are busy reading the political tea leaves, one grassroots token is already charging ahead – without waiting for permission.

BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is stepping up as a freedom-first response to years of pressure. And it’s built for this exact moment.

Politics and the Price of Crypto

In a statement from the Oval Office on Friday June 27, President Donald Trump took aim at former President Joe Biden’s policies on digital currencies.

At the center of his criticism is ‘debanking’ – the practice of banks cutting off services to crypto companies, effectively locking them out of the traditional financial system.

According to Trump, this wasn’t just bureaucratic caution. It was a deliberate strategy to suppress innovation and control the future of finance.

Under Biden, even well-established blockchain projects found themselves without access to basic banking, while regulators issued more red tape than real guidance.

Now, Trump is making it clear: he sees crypto as part of America’s future, not something to fear or silence. And that message is landing hard with retail investors.

As the tide shifts, tokens that stand for freedom and decentralization, like BTC Bull Token, are capturing all the momentum.

BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) – A Bullish Newcomer With Grassroots Muscle

BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is a meme-powered, community-first crypto built to ride Bitcoin’s historic climb to $1M.

It’s the first major Bitcoin-themed meme coin that rewards holders with real Bitcoin airdrops as $BTC hits key milestones like $150K, $200K, and beyond.

It’s part protest against the old system, part celebration of decentralization, and fully aligned with the values Trump just put back on the table: financial freedom, not bank-controlled gatekeeping.

Here’s how it works: when Bitcoin reaches a major price point, $BTCBULL holders (who bought $BTCBULL and hold their tokens using Best Wallet) stand to receive Bitcoin airdrops – direct rewards with no complicated wallet setup or blockchain gymnastics.

And each time $BTC crosses a milestone like $125K, $175K, $225K, $BTCBULL also initiates token burns, slashing supply and increasing scarcity.

It’s a win-win: hodl $BTCBULL, and as $BTC grows, so does your reward.

While most meme coins rely on hype, $BTCBULL is backed by a clear roadmap, powerful tokenomics, and an actual link to Bitcoin’s price movement.

The token has already raised over $7.5M in crypto presale, and the momentum is just getting started. In a market shaken by politics and policy, this is one of the few new crypto projects actually built for the moment.

Why You Need to Grab $BTCBULL Before It Breaks Loose

Right now, $BTCBULL is just $0.00258, but analysts are already eyeing a high-end forecast of $0.06467 by 2025. That’s a 2,407% increase – we did the math for you.

Let’s say you invest $1K today at the current presale price. That gets you around 387,597 $BTCBULL tokens. Now let’s stake that with the current 20% APY – after one year, you’d have 465,116 tokens.

At today’s price, that’d be worth just under $1,2K. But at the 2025 high forecast of $0.06467, those same tokens would be worth $30,088. That’s the kind of math that turns passive holders into true crypto bulls.

This isn’t just another token hoping to pump. It’s designed to profit from Bitcoin’s inevitable climb, with a built-in system that pays you for being early.

In a time when even U.S. presidents are debating crypto’s future, BTC Bull Token is giving power back to the people, and putting real Bitcoin in their wallets.

Betting on the Bull

We’re entering a wild chapter in crypto. The politics are messy. The banks are nervous. And the meme coins? They’re having the time of their lives.

BTC Bull Token isn’t trying to play it safe. It’s charging full speed into the fight with a message that resonates: crypto is for everyone, not just those in power.

If you’re tired of waiting for Wall Street to catch up or for regulators to ‘get it,’ maybe it’s time to join the herd.

China’s DeepSeek AI launched bold predictions regarding XRP, Cardano, and Pepe, expecting them to surge in 2025 by a wide margin.

According to DeepSeek, XRP could go as high as $5 if the right conditions are met, Cardano could touch on $7, while PEPE could go as high as $0.0001.

This isn’t the first time DeepSeek has launched predictions about top coins. In April, the same DeepSeek predicted a $24 price point for XRP by the end of 2025, which was a bit more on the unrealistic side.

What Does DeepSeek Base Its Predictions On?

Apparently, DeepSeek is using a lot of data when making predictions on the crypto market; it’s not just spewing random numbers.

In the case of XRP, DeepSeek considers factors like the positive market sentiment, the potential widespread institutional adoption, and the favorable SEC lawsuit.

With Cardano, the main factors driving its growth would be massive institutional adoption, successful implementation of key scaling upgrades, and a robust DeFI and NFT ecosystem.

PEPE’s development would be simpler, relying mostly on community hype and raw memecoin mania.

DeepSeek also relies on data like real-time trading volumes and chart performance, whale activity, and past chart behavior to assess a token’s potential milestones.

Based on this data, DeepSeek sees XRP going as high as $5 by the end of the year, once the token pushes through the $3 ceiling. If not, a $3 prediction would be more realistic.

Cardano’s preidction of $5-$7 by the end of 2025 hits even harder, given that $ADA is currently at a modest $0.5628 in the charts. A $7 price point would translate into a 1,143% pump, which isn’t unheard of, but not exactly common either.

Despite the high-brow prediction, DeepSeek believes that a $7 $ADA could happen if the token breaks through the $1.10 resistance.

The situation is even more impressive with $PEPE, given that the coin is currently valued at $0.0000059325. With DeepSeek’s most optimistic prediction of $0.0001, $PEPE would record a growth of 1,585%.

More importantly, DeepSeek’s predictions come in a bullish context for the meme market which, when combined with the clear Bitcoin adoption rate at institutional level, gives away a strong buy signal.

This is likely to fuel not only established tokens like $XRP, $ADA, and $PEPE, but some of the best presales today as well, like BTC Bull Token.

BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) Offers $BTC Airdrops to Holders

BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is the only crypto project that offers $BTC airdrops if you hold their native token in Best Wallet and this may sound too good to be true, but it’s not.

BTC Bull Token is a meme project that relies on community hype to build momentum and rests on the idea that Bitcoin will reach $250K and beyond.

And what better way to create hype and draw investor engagement than offering $BTC airdrops based on Bitcoin’s chart performance?

The airdrops will take place when Bitcoin reaches $150K and $200K, followed by a $BTCBULL airdrop at the $250K mark.

The project is currently in presale and has accumulated over $7.5M so far, with a token price of $0.00258. However, the presale is in its final phase, as there are only 2 days left on the clock.

If you want to invest in $BTCBULL’s presale price, you need to do it today, before the public listing.

Based on the presale’s performance and the project’s scope and roadmap, as detailed in the whitepaper, our experts predict a 2025 price point for $BTCBULL of $0.006467.

By 2030, following increased adoption in a meme-supporting crypto environment, we could see $BTCBULL reach as high as $0.0497. This translates into an ROI of 1,826% if you invest today.

So, go to the presale page, secure your $BTCBULL, and place them in your Best Wallet to qualify for the coming $BTC airdrops (and also participate in the social media campaign).

Will DeepSeek’s Predictions Come Through?

There’s no way of telling whether DeepSeek’s predictions will come through, because the crypto market has a will of its own. We’ve seen this with Bitcoin which, despite being widely supported and adopted, has witnessed massive price fluctuations over the years.

A lot of factors can influence a coin’s chart performance, including things like regulation changes, investor interest, post-launch development, and even seemingly unrelated issues like wars.

That being said, some projects showcase a lot more potential than others, and that’s where we are with BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL), currently one of the best meme coins of 2025.

On-chain data shows the Transfer Volume on the Bitcoin network has plunged since late May, a sign that trading activity has cooled off.

Bitcoin Total Transfer Volume Has Been Sharply Going Down

In its latest weekly report, the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about how some volume metrics related to Bitcoin have recently changed. The first indicator shared by Glassnode is the Total Transfer Volume, which measures the total amount of BTC becoming involved in transactions on the blockchain.

Below is a chart for the metric that shows the trend in its value over the last couple of years.

As displayed in the graph, the Bitcoin Total Transfer Volume shot up to a high of $76 billion in late May, suggesting investors increased activity as the asset’s rally to the new all-time high (ATH) took place.

This trend isn’t anything unusual, as sharp price action tends to attract attention from the investors. In fact, it’s this fresh interest that helps keep such moves going.

Since the peak in late May, however, the indicator has been rapidly going down, a potential indication that the holders have been moving attention away from the cryptocurrency. At the lowest part of this drawdown, the metric reached $52 billion, around 32% down compared to the top.

From the chart, it’s apparent that this isn’t the first time that the Total Transfer Volume has seen this pattern of a large spike followed by a cooldown this cycle. After both the previous instances, Bitcoin saw consolidation/decline. Considering this trend, it’s possible that the latest slowdown in the asset’s price may also partially be down to the drop in the Total Transfer Volume.

As mentioned before, the Total Transfer Volume measures transfer activity occurring in any section of the network. Two particular parts of the sector, however, are where economic activity tends to congregate: spot and futures markets.

First, here is a chart that shows the trend in the volume specifically for the former:

Interestingly, while the last two rallies of the cycle saw a spike in Spot Volume, the latest Bitcoin run hasn’t seen any uptick. “This divergence further underscores the lack of speculative intensity, highlighting the market’s hesitancy and reinforcing the consolidation narrative,” notes the analytics firm.

Though, while spot activity has been missing from the rally, participants over at the futures market have still been engaged.

“This sustained speculative interest suggests that leverage-driven positioning was more influential in recent price dynamics,” says Glassnode. In the recent term, however, the Futures Volume has also been down, in line with the cooldown happening in the wider Bitcoin sector.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $107,000, up more than 4% in the last week.

After tumbling to nearly $74,500 on June 6, Bitcoin (BTC) has staged an impressive recovery, currently trading in the mid-$100,000 range – just about 5% below its all-time high (ATH). While optimism has grown following the rebound, dwindling Bitcoin network activity is raising concerns.

Bitcoin Price Recovers But Network Activity Vanishes

According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor CryptoMe, Bitcoin network activity has remained subdued despite the digital asset’s impressive price recovery. The analyst highlighted several data points that confirm the lack of interest in the Bitcoin blockchain.

First, the analyst pointed to the decline in BTC active addresses. When BTC fell from around $110,000 to $75,000, the number of active addresses dropped sharply. Yet, even as BTC prices have rebounded, the number of active addresses has failed to recover.

Similarly, the Bitcoin Network Activity Index – a composite measure that includes transaction counts, total unspent transaction output (UTXO), and bytes per block – continues to signal low engagement across the network.

Another area of concern is Bitcoin’s mempool. For the uninitiated, the BTC mempool is a temporary holding area where unconfirmed transactions wait to be validated and added to the blockchain by miners. The analyst noted:

Looking at the current data, the mempool is nearly empty – there are very few pending transactions. Sometimes, the mempool can be low because of technologies like SegWit or batching. But when we also see a drop in active addresses and low network activity, it clearly shows that the reason is a lack of interest.

CryptoMe concluded that the low on-chain activity is “not a good sign,” especially as it suggests fading interest from retail investors. However, the analyst added that improving global economic conditions and looser monetary policy could help bring retail participants back into the market.

Will Retail Investors Make A Comeback?

Beyond network metrics, other indicators also suggest muted retail participation in the current BTC rally. For example, exchange activity has dropped to multi-year lows, further reinforcing the idea that retail engagement remains limited.

The overall demand for BTC remains significantly weak – casting serious doubts on the sustainability of the current bullish momentum. That said, some encouraging signs still remain.

The Bitcoin bubble chart indicates that, although BTC is trading near its ATH, it has yet to show signs of overheating – suggesting there’s still room for further price growth. At press time, BTC trades at $107,225, up 0.1% in the past 24 hours.
