XRP’s Falling Star: Bitcoin’s $110K Crash Looms?

BBG News

Amid the cacophonous rally of altcoins—a maelstrom where even the boldest speculators find themselves adrift—the digital token XRP now appears to inscribe upon its chart the image of a falling star. This pattern, an omen often heralding an imminent reversal, mocks the ephemeral victory of bullish sentiment. The latest daily candle, with its elongated upper wick and minuscule real body, stands as a silent harbinger of retreat, a cosmic jest against fleeting triumphs. (🌟😏)

After an extended period of bullish ascendancy, this formation typically signals the onset of a bearish reversal—provided, of course, that a subsequent red candle and surging sell volume confirm its prophecy. XRP once soared to a local zenith of roughly $3.70, only to be abruptly chastened by the inexorable market forces that tore away its lofty wick—a reminder that even the most exuberant climb is but a prelude to gravity’s embrace.

Bulls now find themselves losing ground as resurgent sell pressure encroaches, a sign that the market’s capacity to sustain its euphoric buying is waning. At present, XRP trades around $3.49, its week-to-date gains a testament to its recent surge. Yet, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed into overbought territory, breaching the threshold of 88—a warning that the asset may be simmering in a volatile brew of overheating and impending consolidation.

Indeed, over the past fortnight, XRP has outperformed many of its L1 peers when viewed from a broader market perspective. Its explosive ascent—fueled by a mix of institutional interest and sudden volume spikes—underscores the age-old adage: without structural support, speculative momentum is but a fleeting illusion. The market now teeters on the precipice of either a consolidation phase or a downward correction. Should the falling star candle hold and a bearish session ensue, a retraction toward the $3.20 or even $3.00 level may well be in store. In these treacherous waters, bulls must steadfastly guard both their technical and psychological bastions. (😎)

Ethereum riding up

With a surge above $3,600 and no immediate signs of abatement, Ethereum rides a tidal wave of extreme market euphoria. Emerging as the fulcrum of the current bull phase, ETH has not only reclaimed but also solidified its psychological support at $3,000, before exploding upward with a staggering 40.6% daily gain and returns surpassing 150% since April. The technical structure, bolstered by increasing institutional inflows and a glimmer of regulatory optimism from the broader digital asset realm, underpins this meteoric rise. Yet, one cannot help but smirk at the irony: even as price surges, volume and momentum indicators seem to push the market to its very limits. (🚀😏)

After a period of tight consolidation between $2,800 and $3,100, the breakout was swift and decisive, forming a clear structure that signaled a shift in market sentiment. The volume, rising in tandem with price, stands as a classic marker of positive momentum. Yet, with the RSI teetering around 85—a level that, in robust bull markets, can persist for an extended period—the market appears to be straining at the very seams of overbought territory. (📈😎)

Three key levels demand the trader’s vigilant attention: the reclaimed psychological support at $3,000, the mid-range consolidation breakout zone around $3,300, and the immediate resistance at $3,700—the current peak of the candle. Should any dip occur within the $3,300 to $3,000 range, it may very well present a siren call to dip hunters, luring them into a buying frenzy. (📉😏)

Bitcoin getting exhausted

After its prodigious ascent to $123,000, Bitcoin now betrays the first signs of weariness, retracing its steps toward the $118,000 region. Despite maintaining its macro upward trajectory, the market’s technical indicators—such as two consecutive rejection candles near resistance—hint at a deceleration of its bullish momentum. With an RSI that has retreated from the overbought zone to around 68, the once-unstoppable advance now appears to be drawing breath. (😴)

Volume, too, sends a cautionary signal: the latest daily candles display waning demand, even as the breakout continues. As Bitcoin’s price structure begins to coil, it seems increasingly likely that a descent toward $110,000 awaits—especially if it breaches its current support zone, which hovers between $117,000 and $115,000, a zone also marked by the upper limit of the prior consolidation. (📉😏)

On-chain data reveals that open interest in futures remains near all-time highs, a reflection of the market’s inflated leverage. In a twist of fate, should downside volatility escalate, it is conceivable that the market might be swept away in a tidal wave of liquidation. Moreover, the cooling of funding rates offers another clue that speculative fervor is beginning to wane. Yet, a dip to $110,000 should not be misconstrued as a reversal of the broader upward trend—it may simply be a much-needed pause in an otherwise relentless march upward. (🔁😏)
