#XRP is once again drawing attention on higher timeframes, as an analyst highlighted a bullish structure described as a “pattern within a pattern.”
This comes at a time when XRP recently dipped below the $1.90 support level, with analysts continuing to map out a recovery path toward a new all-time high.
Key Points
XRP forms a Triple Bottom, signaling a potential major breakout.Pattern stacks within a larger structure, boosting bullish conviction.Fibonacci targets suggest $9.28–$31.65 upside from $1.89.Analysts warn support breach could trigger a drop to $0.50.
XRP Forms Patterns Within a Pattern
Analyst EGRAG shared a promising outlook for XRP in his latest post on X. At the center of the analysis is a Triple Bottom formation, a classic reversal setup that marks the end of prolonged consolidation.
According to EGRAG, XRP is not just forming a single bullish pattern, but stacking multiple technical structures on top of each other.
The Triple Bottom Formation
Notably, the Triple Bottom pattern forms when price tests the same support zone three separate times without breaking lower. On XRP’s chart, each dip was met with strong buying interest, as sellers are losing control while long-term holders continue defending key levels.
This repeated defense of support indicates exhaustion of downside pressure, confidence among buyers, and lays the foundation for a sustained upside breakout.
Indeed, as EGRAG’s chart illustrates, the triple bottom pattern has played out repeatedly over several years in XRP’s history, each time leading to massive breakouts. Based on the formation over the past year, he now expects a breakout to a new all-time high.

“Patterns Within a Pattern”
What makes the present setup stand out is its position within a larger market structure. The Triple Bottom is forming inside a broader consolidation and breakout framework, supported by long-term moving averages and rising price channels.
In technical analysis, this kind of “pattern stacking” strengthens conviction. Rather than relying on a single indicator, multiple signals align. This layered setup is why EGRAG focuses on market structure rather than short-term price swings.
How High Will the Price Go?
EGRAG’s chart projects upside targets using Fibonacci extensions tied to the Triple Bottom breakout. The pattern suggests a move toward higher Fibonacci levels at the 1.272 and 1.618 extensions.
These levels correspond to XRP prices of $9.28 and $31.65, implying around a 5X to 17X surge from XRP’s current price of $1.89. While no specific timeline is attached, the chart suggests a potential window between 2026 and 2027.
The bullish case for XRP remains intact as long as it holds above former resistance, now acting as support. Maintaining this zone confirms the Triple Bottom, while a drop below it would require reevaluation.
Essentially, EGRAG’s analysis emphasizes that XRP’s chart isn’t showing exhaustion; it’s showing preparation.
Opposing View
Interestingly, while EGRAG is calling for new XRP peaks, some analysts argue that the price could crash below $1. For instance, analyst The Great Martis warns that #XRP may fall further, as the market is still in a correction rather than at a bottom.
If the current support breaks, he said XRP could drop toward $0.50, which is a 73% decline from today’s price. The analyst stresses this wouldn’t be a sudden crash but a gradual, technical move within the market cycle.

A prominent #Cardano community member argues that ADA’s current ranking as the 10th biggest token reflects market misunderstanding rather than technological inferiority. 
Critics have widely interpreted Cardano’s position as the 10th biggest cryptocurrency as a sign of low adoption or innovation. However, supporters have consistently disputed this view, emphasizing that its low ranking is due to persistent market ignorance of Cardano’s core design advantages. 
Consequently, they argue that once investors fully understand its design advantages, particularly around decentralization, security, and staking, Cardano’s position will improve based on fundamentals rather than hype.
Key Points 
Cardano bulls claim that ADA’s current ranking as the 10th-largest token reflects market perception, not technological weakness. They believe ADA’s ranking will improve once investors recognize its fundamentals over hype. Skeptics suggest otherwise, pointing to Cardano’s inability to attract institutions and top-level stablecoins. Ongoing efforts by Cardano’s team reflect a commitment to address ecosystem gaps. 
Cardano’s Unique Design 
Analyst Dr. Cuadrado highlighted in a tweet that Cardano is widely regarded as one of the most decentralized blockchains in the industry, featuring real on-chain governance and a security model built from first principles.
Unlike many competitors with uncapped supplies, Cardano has a fixed maximum of 45 billion ADA. The token remains in users’ wallets at all times, and rewards are distributed every five days without reliance on external smart contracts. 
How Cardano Differs From Ethereum 
Comparing Cardano to Ethereum, Cuadrado highlighted what he described as a structural divide. While Ethereum pioneered smart contracts and DeFi, its liquid staking ecosystem often requires custodial arrangements that expose users to protocol and counterparty risk. 
However, Cuadrado noted that Cardano’s design eliminates these trade-offs by embedding staking directly into the base layer. Therefore, he suggested that once the market fully recognizes the ability to earn yield without lockups, custody loss, or hidden risk, Cardano’s ranking will reflect its fundamentals. 
Mixed Reactions Trail Cuadrado’s Commentary 
Cardano, which briefly ranked third-largest in 2021, now sits in 10th place. At a price of $0.3474 and a circulating supply of 36.04 billion tokens, ADA carries a market value of $12.52 billion.
Nonetheless, many Cardano proponents, including Cuadrado, expect ADA to climb higher in the future. They cite Cardano’s on-chain governance, research-driven and peer-reviewed development model, and its focus on solving scalability, interoperability, and sustainability challenges seen in earlier networks as factors that could fuel this growth. 
In addition, they point to rising institutional interest, with ADA included in several basket ETFs in the U.S. and Grayscale seeking to launch a product solely tied to ADA. 
However, skeptics remain unconvinced. Specifically, Pablo Antonio, founder of on-chain asset manager PBG, argues that strong fundamentals alone are unlikely to drive market leadership. 
He contends that crypto’s success depends more on institutional adoption, which Cardano has yet to secure at scale. Antonio also criticized Cardano’s ecosystem for lagging in key areas such as stablecoins, oracles, and real-world assets (RWA), while emphasizing that the current leadership lacks a strong business and enterprise focus.
Meanwhile, Cardano is taking steps to address these challenges. Founder Charles Hoskinson has discussed launching the RLUSD stablecoin on Cardano with Ripple executives. 
Moreover, Cardano stakeholders are also advancing real-world asset tokenization, with the blockchain participating in a project introduced by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). However, these initiatives have not materially impacted ADA’s price or valuation.

#Bitcoin is testing key Bollinger Band resistance, with traders awaiting a breakout for bullish momentum or a potential retracement.
Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced some fluctuations in recent hours, with the price hovering just below the $90,000 mark. The chart shows a series of up-and-down movements, with Bitcoin briefly testing a high of around $90,159 before retreating below $89,500. This volatility came after a week marked by mixed signals in the market, as Bitcoin failed to sustain upward momentum despite positive developments in regional equities and a weakening U.S. dollar.
The price movements from the chart indicate Bitcoin’s ongoing struggle to break and close above the $90,000 resistance zone. Notably, Bitcoin’s price action over the past week has shown some significant volatility, with a decline of 6.4% in the last 7 days. On a 14-day basis, Bitcoin is down by 3%, further confirming the lack of a strong upward trend. 
Traders will now be looking for a breakout above $90,000 for further confirmation of bullish momentum or a possible decline.
Where is Bitcoin Headed?
In the latest 4-hour chart for Bitcoin, the price shows consolidation between the upper and lower bands of the Bollinger Bands. The price briefly tested the middle band at $89,704, indicating initial resistance. However, the first-born crypto has pulled back toward the lower band based at $88,302, signaling a possible lack of momentum to break higher.

If Bitcoin fails to breach the middle band and close above it, it could face a retracement to the lower band, representing immediate support. Traders will closely watch this range for any decisive price action.
In addition to the Bollinger Bands, the True Strength Index indicator shows negative values, with the blue line crossing above the red line. This confirms that bearish momentum has persisted but is shifting in the short term. For a bullish reversal to occur, the TSI would need to flip to positive territory. 
Overall, a break above the resistance level at the middle band could launch BTC to the upper Bollinger Band at $91,105.
Analyst Points at Potential $135,000 Surge
Looking elsewhere, analyst Trader Tardigrade recently pointed out on X that Bitcoin has been following a distinct Zig-zag pattern on the weekly chart. This pattern features alternating bullish and bearish movements, where upward rallies meet subsequent pullbacks, creating a back-and-forth movement.

Tardigrade suggests that if this pattern persists, Bitcoin could experience another surge following its current consolidation phase, potentially targeting higher levels like above $135,000. However, if the pattern continues to follow the expected course, a correction could follow, pushing Bitcoin back down to test support zones around $112,000.

The earlier upward momentum for the prominent meme coin #shiba⚡ Inu has decayed, pushing prices back to the yearly demand stronghold.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) dropped to the support level following its Trump tariff-inspired decline to $0.00000745 yesterday, in line with broader crypto market trends. While this has cut down the asset’s year-to-date profitability from 46% to 13.9%, it could be part of a broader bullish formation.
Key Points
Shiba has collapsed to the yearly support from which it bounced on January 1.The recent SHIB consolidation also aligns with a trend within a tightening descending channel on the weekly chart.Two scenarios are possible here: further decline to retest the wedge’s lower support trendline or a bullish reversal to target its neckline resistance.Further downsides will see SHIB retest multi-year lows, while reclaiming the channel’s neckline fuels the prospect of a breakout to retest multi-year highs
Shiba Inu Bullish Reversal Wedge Still Valid
Shiba has collapsed to the yearly support from which it bounced on January 1. The token held this higher-timeframe demand zone despite the abysmal performance in the last quarter of last year, underscoring its importance for subsequent price action.
Notably, the recent consolidation also aligns with a trend within a tightening descending channel on the weekly chart. Shiba Inu has remained trapped within this structure since its May 2025 high of $0.00001765, and multiple attempts to break free have failed.

The recent drop to the yearly support still aligns with the trend within the channel. Meanwhile, two scenarios are possible here: further decline to retest the wedge’s lower support trendline or a bullish reversal to target its neckline resistance. Each outcome depends on the prevailing momentum around Shiba Inu and the broader crypto market mood.
Specifically, further downsides will see SHIB retest multi-year lows. However, reclaiming the channel’s neckline fuels the prospect of a breakout to retest multi-year highs.
Lower Timeframe Confirmation
On the daily chart, this accumulation within the descending channel remains in place. The January 5 swing to $0.00001009 saw Shiba Inu make its closest reach for the upper resistance trendline since September 2025.
If Shiba Inu recovers from the recent price rejection and resumes another northward push, it could target the upper resistance trendline at $0.0000110. However, an opposite price trend may occur, and prices could continue to trend lower. 
Hence, this outlook is based solely on data and technical developments and provides no certainty, nor is it financial advice.

The crypto gaming sector is bleeding into the real world, and #XAI is at the center of the storm. Breaking news from the last few hours confirms that the Xai Foundation is taking legal action against Elon Musk’s xAI over trademark infringement. This is not just drama; this is a market-moving event. The "Reverse Confusion" lawsuit alleges Musk’s brand is drowning out the decentralized gaming network.
Why does this matter for your portfolio? Volatility. When a small-cap
gaming token takes on the richest man on earth, eyes turn to the chart. We are
seeing massive social volume spikes for #GameFi. tokens on #BİNANCESQUARE .
Traders are betting on whether this publicity will pump the token or if the
legal fees will drain the treasury.
The #CryptoNewsFlash cycle thrives on conflict. While the broader market consolidates, XAI is decoupling based on this narrative. If you are holding #Arbitrum
ecosystem tokens, you need to watch this correlation. The "David
vs. Goliath" narrative is powerful #CPIWatch SEO fuel. Don't ignore the noise; trade it.

 Trading Tips:
Volatility Play: Watch for sudden wicks.
High-profile lawsuits often cause "sell
the news" dumps after the initial "buy the rumor" pump. Set tight stop-losses.
Volume Confirmation: Do not enter a long position unless
you see a sustained increase in volume on the 4-hour chart. Social hype alone
can trap you.

Today something wild happened on the XRP Ledger. One of BitGo’s wallets ran dry of XRP, but the scripts didn’t stop working. They kept creating new accounts and sending transactions that had zero chance of success. The result: thousands of “UNFUNDED PAYMENT” errors flooded the network.
What Went Down
BitGo’s system tried to activate new $XRP accounts, each requiring 1 XRP reserve, even after its balance hit 0.The failed attempts spiked to nearly 11,000 in one day, according to ledger data.It wasn’t a hack, just an automation loop gone rogue. BitGo confirmed the wallet has now been topped up with 1,048 XRP to stop the spam.
Why This Matters
Even though no coins were stolen, the glitch shows how one small script error can ripple through a major blockchain. The ledger stayed secure, but the event cast a spotlight on automation risks in crypto networks.


TL;DR
XRP Ledger glitch = wild day for the community + reminder that tech still needs humans.
