After a staggering rally exceeding 200% in the first two weeks of November, Dogecoin (DOGE) has entered a consolidation phase. Crypto analyst Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) suggests this could be the calm before the storm, hinting at a potential surge similar to a previous market cycle. Is Dogecoin Heading Towards $4? Kevin notes that in Dogecoin’s last cycle, the memecoin consolidated for 24 days after its first massive rally before ascending again to what he describes as the “macro golden pocket”—a price range between $3.80 and $4.00 which aligns with the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level.He believes that if DOGE follows a similar trajectory, price could skyrocket by the end of the week, potentially leading to a new all-time high (ATH) by the end of the month. Related Reading: Dogecoin Alert: Why December 5 Is A Game-Changing Date For Price “In Dogecoin previous cycle when it had it’s first major leg up it consolidated for 24 days after that move before legging up again to the macro golden pocket. If DOGE were to follow a similar path that would mean that that the next leg will start by the end of the week and Doge will begin its path the macro golden pocket which is at $3.80-$4.00,” Kevin states. However, he tempers expectations by acknowledging that such astronomical performance is hard to predict: “That would be astronomical performance though and it’s hard to make that type of call. Let’s start with making a new ATH by end of month like I predicted back in September.” The current price position of Dogecoin is critical. Analyzing the daily DOGE/USD chart, Kevin observes that DOGE is “actively testing this major trend line of support on the daily RSI.” A breach of this support could “accelerate downside. Bulls wants this to hold if possible.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Whales Keep Buying – DOGE Metrics Reveal Demand Remains Strong He adds that while the RSI trend line held on the daily close, “it needs to bounce now if we are going to hold it.” The influence of Bitcoin’s (BTC) price movement could be pivotal: “If BTC can leg up, it would save us,” he notes. Bitcoin itself has been consolidating since reaching a reported ATH of $99,588 on November 22, trading within a range of $90,800 to $98,500. Kevin describes a “tug of war between price action and this downward momentum on the indicators,” as the daily MACD shows increased downside momentum that the price isn’t reflecting. He emphasizes that “one of them is going to win eventually.” On the 4-hour BTC/USD chart, Kevin highlights a symmetrical triangle pattern nearing its apex, suggesting an imminent breakout. Despite recent volatility, “BTC still has not broken down or even closed a 4HR candle below this trend line,” indicating strong support levels. He also points out significant liquidation levels around $100,000, stating that “it’s only a matter of time before BTC decides to come up and take that liquidity at $100K.” Such a move by Bitcoin could herald the next major price…

It’s simple to understand why Chainlink (LINK) has recently drawn attention in the cryptocurrency community. The digital asset has experienced a remarkable 40% increase in just one week. Related Reading: Cardano Rally Heats Up: Experts See 750% Jump Ahead Demand for LINK significantly increased from $16.54 on November 26 to $25.73 by December 3. As the largest price increase since January 2022, this spike indicates a new wave of investor enthusiasm and momentum. Surge Fueled By Whale Activity Whale activity is one of the main drivers for this rally. LookonChain reported on December 3 that a whale address scooped up 269,861 LINK tokens, valued at $6.68 million. The acquisition of 107,838 tokens on a decentralized exchange by the whale, costing $2.6 million, shows that confidence in LINK continues to grow. Furthermore, 162,024 LINK tokens, which were valued at $4.08 million, were withdrawn from Binance, underscoring the increased interest of institutional investors. The price of $LINK has surged 36% today! A whale bought 269,861 $LINK($6.68M) in the past 12 hours. The whale spent $2.6M to buy 107,838 $LINK at $24.1 on DEX and withdrew 162,024 $LINK($4.08M) from #Binance.https://t.co/Zuxgpk23Sm pic.twitter.com/hNQ65oZkfi — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) December 3, 2024 This isn’t just something whales do. Other large holders also play a crucial part. As small and medium-sized investors increase their shares, new investors are now jumping on the Chainlink bandwagon. IntoTheBlock data shows that over the last 30 days, the number of LINK tokens owned by small buyers (1,000 to 10,000) has grown by 35%. In the same vein, mid-tier investors, who held 10,000 to 100,000 LINK, experienced a significant 86.79% increase in accumulation. Bullish Forecasts & Strong Market Performance Chainlink’s market capitalization has now exceeded $15 billion, following a 25% increase in the past 24 hours. The asset’s remarkable performance is also contributing to the current optimism in the DeFi sector, which is on the brink of a $150 billion market capitalization. $LINK/usdt DAILY It’s $LINK SEASON, now we do $22 –> $52 🚀🚀 https://t.co/kJOaCpeyML pic.twitter.com/dg3H5au2fU — Satoshi Flipper (@SatoshiFlipper) December 3, 2024 Well-known figures such as Satoshi Flipper have predicted a target price of $52 for LINK, which is a particularly bullish outlook among analysts. A breakout rally has gained more steam, emulating the 2022-2023 trendline breakout, which signaled a substantial rebound in the broader market. Coinglass indicators show a 57% growth in futures open interest to $708 million and rising investor interest. Trading volume in derivatives rose 450% to $5 billion. This shows a surge in speculative activity, which bodes well for LINK’s growth. Related Reading: Cardano To Hit $10? Analyst Thinks It’s Happening This Cycle Chainlink: The Road Ahead Chainlink’s price behavior suggests that the present surge could last; but, its long-term success depends on its capacity to maintain momentum. Strong purchasing pressure and rising whale activity point to a continuous optimistic view. However, investors should exercise caution, as markets can fluctuate rapidly. LINK may achieve new price milestones in the upcoming weeks if it maintains its upward trajectory. Featured image…

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has experienced another downturn in its price. Following an earlier attempt at bullish momentum last week, Ethereum has dropped by 2.4% in the past 24 hours, trading at $3,577 at the time of writing. This decline puts Ethereum at a 26.8% decrease from its all-time high of $4,878, recorded in November 2021. Despite this, the network’s daily trading volume remains quite strong, registering $42.4 billion—a significant increase from late last month when volumes dipped below $35 billion. Related Reading: Ethereum Risk-Reward Ratio Is Now Attractive, Brokerage Firm Explains Chart Patterns Indicate Potential Rally While Ethereum’s current price trajectory may appear discouraging, analysts within the cryptocurrency community have expressed optimism regarding its long-term potential. Several technical indicators and chart patterns have emerged, leading some analysts to predict a significant rally for the asset in the coming months. One notable voice among the bullish analysts is CryptoBullet, a widely followed figure in the cryptocurrency space. In a recent post on X, the analyst highlighted a “cup and handle” formation on Ethereum’s monthly price chart. According to CryptoBullet, this pattern suggests that Ethereum could surge to new highs, potentially reaching $6,675. The analyst commented, “Did you guys see the $ETH monthly chart? Bullish AF. This month, we’re going to SMASH through the resistance. Cup&Handle Target – $6675.” Adding to the optimism, Venture Founder, another prominent analyst, projected an even more ambitious target for Ethereum. In a detailed analysis, the venture founder noted that Ethereum has been in a “triangular consolidation phase” for the past three years, a pattern reminiscent of its behavior from 2016 to 2017. The analyst predicted that Ethereum could break out of this consolidation and enter a new price paradigm, estimating a target of $15,937 by May 2025. Venture Founder stated, “Base Case: Ethereum likely to repeat this impulsive breakout it did between 2016-2017 to shoot to new ATH.” 3 years of triangle consolidation for #Ethereum and $ETH could enter a new paradigm which it consolidated for the past 7 years.

As attention shifts to altcoins, Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a pause in the uptrend that has characterized the past month. Currently trading 3.8% below its record high of $99,540, questions are raised about the sustainability of this growth and the possibility of a correction as the year draws to a close. Investors Flock To Ethereum And XRP Chris Newhouse, director of research at Cumberland Labs, pointed out that while strong institutional buying pressure persists—particularly from companies like MicroStrategy, which continues to accumulate Bitcoin—there is a noticeable shift in capital flows.  Newhouse noted that the broader crypto ecosystem is experiencing a “diversification of capital flows” from both institutional and non-institutional participants.  This diversification indicates that as Bitcoin stabilizes, investor interest is increasingly shifting to other digital assets, including Ethereum (ETH) and XRP, which had previously lagged behind Bitcoin.  Related Reading: XRP Q3 Overview: Key Metrics Suggest A Bright Future For The Third Biggest Crypto Following the victory of President-elect Donald Trump, who has emerged as a crypto advocate, expectations for more favorable US regulations have risen. This has contributed to the massive rally in the XRP price, which has seen a 400% increase in the monthly time frame. This optimism is also reflected in the record monthly net inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in November, which reached $6.5 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. Bloomberg data shows that last Friday marked an all-time high for daily Ether ETF subscriptions. $2 Billion Silk Road Bitcoin Moved To Coinbase In the options market, there has been a noticeable increase in downside protection for Bitcoin at later expiries this month. Meanwhile, BTC futures have exhibited moderate leverage, remaining relatively subdued after Bitcoin surpassed the $99,000 mark.  According to Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33, on-chain data suggests that traders who purchased BTC in the $55,000 to $70,000 range are now actively realizing profits. “Profit-taking has been particularly intense with BTC trading north of $90,000,” Lunde remarked. Jake Ostrovskis, a trader at Wintermute OTC, observed that “the market has taken a pause over the last 10 days as Bitcoin sits just under $100,000. Volatility levels have compressed slightly, with Bitcoin in the 64th percentile and Ether significantly higher at the 81st.”  This volatility compression suggests a cautious sentiment among traders as they assess the market’s next moves, with the potential for a fresh wave of lower support levels to be retested in BTC’s price action, which could jeopardize the $100,000 milestone being reached by the end of the year. Related Reading: CryptoQuant CEO Warns Not To Short XRP Due To Insider Whale Activity Adding to the uncertainty in the market is a recent development reported by NewsBTC on Monday that nearly $2 billion worth of BTC previously confiscated from the Silk Road marketplace has been moved from US government wallets to Coinbase.  Such moves often spark speculation among traders, as similar moves by the US government to massively liquidate its holdings contributed to the downtrend in the second and third quarter of…

According to data from CryptoQuant, Bitcoin (BTC) reserves on cryptocurrency exchanges have dropped to a multi-year low. This decline coincides with the ongoing bull market, which has pushed the digital asset’s price closer to the $100,000 mark. This significant decline could have major implications for the asset’s supply-demand dynamics. Investor Confidence Increasing In Bitcoin? During a bull market, Bitcoin reserves on exchanges increase as long-term holders (LTH) and short-term holders (STH) transfer their holdings to trading platforms to take profits. However, the current bull market is breaking this trend, as BTC exchange reserves dwindle. Related Reading: Bitcoin Set To Hit $140,000 Target In December – Here’s Why Data from Cryptoquant indicates that over 171,000 BTC have been withdrawn from crypto exchanges since pro-crypto Republican candidate Donald Trump won the November US presidential election. The high amount of BTC being withdrawn from exchanges suggests that holders are likely moving their holdings to cold wallets, signaling long-term confidence in BTC. According to the chart below, BTC exchange reserves witnessed a sharp decline starting in November 2022 – falling from 3.33 million BTC on November 5, to 2.93 million BTC on December 21. Another notable drop began in February 2024, likely in anticipation of the Bitcoin halving in April and the ensuing supply scarcity of the digitally-programmed asset. During this period, reserves decreased from 3.05 million BTC to 2.63 million BTC by October 30 – a decline of 13.77% over eight months. Exchange reserves stand at just 2.46 million BTC, the lowest level in years. This ongoing decline hints at a potential supply crunch for Bitcoin, which could propel its price upward in the coming months. BTC Illiquid Supply Continues To Grow Another data point that supports the long-term holding hypothesis for BTC is Glassnode’s illiquid supply metric. The chart shared below shows that the digital asset’s illiquid supply has grown by 185,000 BTC in the past 30 days.  Notably, the illiquid supply now accounts for approximately 14.8 million BTC, representing nearly three-fourths of the current circulating supply of 19.8 million BTC. If this trend continues, Bitcoin’s price could experience a significant surge due to supply scarcity. However, this could also introduce heightened volatility. Related Reading: Bitcoin Resets Open Interest, Targets $100,000 After Holding Key Support – Details While the decline in exchange reserves and rising illiquid supply are long-term bullish indicators for Bitcoin, short-term price movements could see a brief correction. According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, BTC has formed a head-and-shoulder pattern on the hourly chart, which may trigger a sell-off that can push the asset’s price to $90,000. That said, another seasoned crypto analyst, Rekt Capital, said that after briefly touching the $98,000 price level, BTC has already entered the parabolic phase of the rally. BTC trades at $94,968 at press time, down 1.4% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from CryptoQuant, Glassnode, X and Tradingview.com

Despite a notable pause in its upward trend, Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching the landmark $100,000 mark, fueled by expectations of supportive policies for the sector from US President-elect Donald Trump. On Tuesday, the largest digital asset traded above the key $95,000 mark, acting as support for the past 24 hours. This reflects a remarkable surge of over 40% since Trump’s election victory on November 5. Could A National BTC Reserve Become Reality?  Trump’s administration is expected to reverse the Biden administration’s stringent regulations on digital assets, which could significantly alter the landscape for cryptocurrencies in the US.  The Republican party is already positioning crypto-friendly candidates to lead key regulatory bodies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).  Related Reading: XRP Q3 Overview: Key Metrics Suggest A Bright Future For The Third Biggest Crypto Additionally, discussions within Trump’s transition team have included the potential creation of a dedicated White House position focused on digital-asset policy. President-elect Trump has voiced ambitions to establish the US as the global hub for cryptocurrency, even proposing the concept of a national Bitcoin reserve. However, analysts express skepticism about the practicality of this idea.  Jaret Seiberg from TD Cowen noted that while Trump may advocate for a Bitcoin reserve in public forums, it would require significant political capital to implement, especially given his firm stance on maintaining the US dollar’s status as the world’s primary currency. Crypto advocate Paul Atkins is considered a strong candidate to replace outgoing SEC chairman Gary Gensler. The current chair officially announced his resignation last week, effective January 20, the day of Trump’s inauguration. Gensler has played a key role in enforcing compliance in the digital asset space, especially after a tumultuous 2022 that saw a significant market downturn and significant financial losses for investors following the implosion of the once Sam Bankman-led FTX exchange. Political Instability In South Korea Drives Bitcoin Prices Below $72,000 Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, such as XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE), have experienced notable price discrepancies in South Korea due to local political instability.  Following the imposition and subsequent rescinding of martial law by President Yoon Suk Yeol, Bitcoin’s price on South Korean exchanges dipped below $72,000 at one point, reflecting heightened risk aversion among investors. Related Reading: CryptoQuant CEO Warns Not To Short XRP Due To Insider Whale Activity However, the overall cryptocurrency market has seen a staggering increase since Trump was declared president-elect, with total market capitalization rising by approximately $1.3 trillion, according to data from CoinGecko.  At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $95,840, posting slight losses of 0.2%, but halting the upward trend seen over the past few months. Over the past 8 hours, attention has shifted to altcoins such as BNB, which hit a new record high, and XRP, which is trading just 20% below its all-time high.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Solana started a fresh increase from the $215 zone. SOL price is rising and might aim for a move above the $240 and $250 resistance levels. SOL price started a fresh increase after it settled above the $222 level against the US Dollar. The price is now trading above $230 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $232 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if the bulls clear the $240 zone. Solana Price Eyes Fresh Surge Solana price formed a support base and started a fresh increase above the $220 level like Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a decent increase above the $225 and $230 resistance levels. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $246 swing high to the $215 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $232 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading above $235 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $240 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $246 swing high to the $215 low. The next major resistance is near the $246 level. The main resistance could be $250. A successful close above the $250 resistance level could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $265. Any more gains might send the price toward the $280 level. Another Decline in SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $240 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $230 level or the 100-hourly simple moving average. The first major support is near the $220 level. A break below the $220 level might send the price toward the $215 zone. If there is a close below the $215 support, the price could decline toward the $200 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 – $230 and $220. Major Resistance Levels – $240 and $250.

Data shows social media users aren’t euphoric towards Bitcoin, XRP, and other top cryptocurrencies despite the market-wide surge, a sign that could be bullish for their prices. Positive Sentiment Vs. Negative Sentiment Ratio Remains Low For Top Coins According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, sentiment around digital assets has been low recently, even for the coins that have enjoyed historic runs. The indicator of relevance here is the “Positive Sentiment Vs. Negative Sentiment Ratio,” which, as its name suggests, tells us about how the positive and negative comments about a given asset being made by social media users currently compare. This metric sources data from major social media platforms like X, Telegram, Reddit, and 4Chan. It puts these posts/messages/threads containing mentions of the relevant term through a machine-learning model to differentiate between positive and negative ones, and finds the difference in their count. Related Reading: Strong Bitcoin Rise “Expected Within 1-2 Months,” Quant Explains Why When the value of this indicator is positive, it means the posts about a positive sentiment outweigh the ones containing a negative sentiment. On the other hand, being negative implies that a bearish mentality is dominant on social media. Here is a chart showing the recent trend in the Positive Sentiment Vs. Negative Sentiment Ratio for five assets: Bitcoin (BTC), XRP (XRP), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), and Stellar (XLM). As displayed in the above graph, the Positive Sentiment Vs. Negative Sentiment Ratio has remained almost neutral for all these cryptocurrencies recently. This suggests the market isn’t leaning one way or the other. The trend is interesting, considering XRP, Cardano, and Stellar have seen massive price surges. Generally, positive comments tend to spike when such rallies occur, like they did for Bitcoin early last month when Donald Trump won the US Presidential Elections. Historically, digital assets have often shown moves opposite to what the crowd expects. This means that a price correction can become probable whenever bullish sentiment grows too big. Related Reading: Dogecoin TD Sell Signal Goes Off, But Here’s Why Parabolic Bull Run Can Still Continue Considering that euphoria hasn’t overtaken the investors of XRP and others despite the price surges, it’s possible that their runs could still have room to continue. The Positive Sentiment Vs. Negative Sentiment Ratio could still be to keep an eye on in the near future, however, as social media sentiment can sometimes flip very quickly, especially if some big news comes out. A spike in the indicator would naturally be a bearish sign for the market. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is floating around $2.58, up almost 17% over the past seven days.

Bitcoin has experienced notable whale activity since the conclusion of the US election on November 5, with an increase in the volume of Bitcoin transferred to exchanges by active whale addresses. However, contrary to what one might expect, there hasn’t been a significant surge in profit-taking activity among these large holders, a CryptoQuant analyst named onatt revealed in a recent post on the QuickTake platform. Related Reading: Bitcoin to Enter Final Bull Phase? Key Indicator Hints at Major Price Movement Whale Activity Suggests Market Stability but Signals Potential Risks The report by CryptoQuant analyst Onatt sheds light on this whale activity, emphasizing the lack of immediate selling pressure despite the increase in Bitcoin inflows to exchanges. Instead of liquidating their holdings, whales appear to be employing a “wait-and-see strategy,” the analyst wrote. They seem to utilize their Bitcoin for purposes like hedging, over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, or collateral. Although this approach points to market stability, onatt advised that “these movements should be closely monitored to anticipate any possible market impact.” Providing more details of this development, Onatt’s analysis reveals that the Adjusted Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) metric, which tracks profit-taking activities, does not yet signal significant movements. Historically, large inflows of Bitcoin into exchanges have often been associated with increased selling pressure, but the current scenario deviates from this trend. Instead, these movements may reflect strategic maneuvers by whales as they prepare for potential market shifts. Onatt also noted that while the immediate risk of sell-offs appears low, the ongoing rise in Bitcoin exchange inflows could foreshadow future volatility. Bitcoin Market Performance Bitcoin so far appears to have hit a wall ever since it traded above $95,000. Over the past weeks, Bitcoin has been unable to move further from this price level but has managed to maintain it despite the bears attempts to push it below $95,000. Over the past week, BTC hasn’t moved much and only registers 2.5% increase and in the past 24 hours, the asset has seen just a slight decrease by 1.2% to trade for $95,837 at the time of writing currently. As for Bitcoin’s daily trading volume, interestingly, there has been an opposite trend. Despite Bitcoin’s small price movement into decline, BTC daily trading volume has notably increased from below $60 billion on November 29 to now at $94.5 billion. Related Reading: MicroStrategy Continues Bitcoin Buying Streak: 15,400 BTC Added This Monday Given Bitcoin’s current price trajectory, it is worth noting that this increase in BTC’s trading volume over the past few days might be from sell-offs.

XRP price saw a couple of swing moves from the $2.85 resistance. The price is consolidating near $2.50 and might aim for more gains above the $2.65 level. XRP price is struggling to gain pace for a move above the $2.80 resistance zone. The price is now trading above $2.30 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2.25 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair might continue to accelerate if it clears the $2.72 resistance. XRP Price Holds Gains Above $2.30 XRP price made another attempt to clear the $3.00 resistance. However, it failed to surpass $2.85 and corrected some gains unlike Bitcoin and like Ethereum. There was a move below the $2.65 and $2.50 levels. A low was formed at $2.276 and the price is now correcting losses. There was a move above the $2.40 and $2.50 levels. The bulls pushed it back above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.848 swing high to the $2.276 low. The price is now trading above $2.30 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2.25 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.620 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.720 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $2.848 swing high to the $2.276 low. The next key resistance could be $2.850. A clear move above the $2.850 resistance might send the price toward the $2.950 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.00 resistance or even $3.150 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $3.20. Are Dips Limited? If XRP fails to clear the $2.620 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.50 level. The next major support is near the $2.40 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.40 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.30 support and the trend line. The next major support sits near the $2.050 zone. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level.
