XRP has turned down from the resistance line on April 28 and slipped below the moving averages on April 30. If the price continues to decline and closes below the moving averages, it indicates that the bears have taken control. The pair may revisit the important support level at $2. If this level is also breached, the XRP/USDT pair could plummet to $1.61.
The resistance line continues to be a level to watch on the bullish side. If the bulls break through the resistance line, it suggests that the downtrend may have ended. The pair could advance to $3.
Currently, BNB is trading at $603, needing to increase about 23% to reach its ATH of $788. However, to achieve this, favorable market conditions and strong support from investors are needed—factors that have been lacking throughout April. Sustainable price increases will be a key factor for Binance's altcoin to reclaim its ATH.
Currently trapped in a downward trend lasting nearly five months, BNB is facing strong resistance. If BNB can break through the $700 threshold, it will confirm that this altcoin is on track to challenge its current ATH and has the potential to set new highs. #AirdropSafetyGuide
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to temporarily postpone the approval of two proposed cryptocurrency ETFs, including Dogecoin and XRP, according to the latest documents.
The regulatory agency has announced a delay in the decision deadline regarding the listing of these ETFs until June.
These documents are a response to requests from March by the NYSE Arca and Cboe BZX Exchange in the U.S., seeking to list Bitwise's Dogecoin ETF and Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF.
Notably, on the same day, Nasdaq – another U.S. exchange – also submitted a request to be allowed to list the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF.
Dogecoin is currently the most traded memecoin globally, with a market capitalization of approximately $26 billion as of April 29, according to data from CoinGecko. XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger blockchain network, has a market capitalization of approximately $133 billion, based on data from CoinGecko. #AltcoinETFsPostponed
XRP – the symbol of a global payment revolution – is entering an unprecedented major wave. After a long period entangled in legal disputes with the SEC, XRP has risen strongly with many explosive plans for the future. As of April 2025, this coin has surged to $2.29, recording a growth of over 270% compared to last year. This remarkable recovery is not simply the result of speculative waves, but an inevitable consequence of a technology platform that is increasingly recognized by the world.
Unlike many other coins that only attract attention due to market hype, XRP has a clear reason for existence: to become the core of the global cross-border payment system. With a transaction processing speed of just 3 to 5 seconds and nearly zero fees (around $0.0002), XRP far surpasses current blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum – where transactions can take minutes, even hours, with significant costs. The RippleNet system developed by Ripple Labs is increasingly being integrated by many banks, financial institutions, and fintech companies to replace the outdated and cumbersome SWIFT payment network. #Trump100Days
Theo Van de Poppe, many macro factors outside the crypto market are creating new momentum: China is easing monetary policy (QE), Europe is lowering interest rates, and the US is preparing to cut interest rates, driving capital into risky assets such as Bitcoin and altcoins.
He also emphasized that the Chinese Yuan (CNH) against the USD is an important indicator for altcoins.
History shows that strong rallies of altcoins often occur after CNH/USD hits a bottom, similar to the periods in 2016 and 2019. Recently, this exchange rate has dropped sharply and is showing signs of recovery, opening up expectations for a new rally. #AirdropStepByStep
The 20-day EMA line ($1,719) is an important support level to watch. If the price sharply rebounds from the 20-day EMA line, the bulls will attempt to push the ETH/USDT pair towards the breakout level of $2,111. The bears are expected to fiercely defend the $2,111 mark because if this level is conquered, the pair could soar to $2,550.
Conversely, if the price breaks down and closes below the 20-day EMA line, it indicates that the bears still control the market. At that point, ETH/USDT could drop to $1,537. #ArizonaBTCReserve
The most noticeable factor is investor sentiment. The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 29/100, a "telling number" that indicates a hesitance engulfing the market. This index had even fallen below the threshold of 20 previously, coinciding with escalating concerns about tariffs.
In this unsettling context, investors' risk appetite has significantly decreased. Highly speculative meme coins or altcoins (a term for cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin) that are prone to high volatility are no longer attractive options. This raises a big question for the "altcoin season" - the usual explosive phase of cryptocurrencies apart from bitcoin.
History shows that Ethereum (ETH) often leads the "altcoin season." However, with ETH having lost up to 53% of its value since the beginning of the year and declining 16% in just the past 30 days, it is difficult to expect a strong growth scenario for other altcoins. #AbuDhabiStablecoin
The recent approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of ProShares' XRP futures ETF has sparked a wave of strong expectations for a spot ETF in the near future. This development is regarded by many industry experts as a significant turning point, not only for XRP but also for the digital asset market as a whole.
According to the official announcement, ProShares will launch three new ETFs based on XRP futures contracts: Ultra XRP ETF, Short XRP ETF, and Ultra Short XRP ETF. These products will officially start trading on April 30. Earlier, in early April, Teucrium also launched the 2x Long Daily XRP ETF, initiating a wave of financialization of XRP on Wall Street.
Although it is not yet a spot ETF – a type of fund considered to have a direct impact on asset prices – this move has created a strong wave of optimism within the investing community, especially among XRP supporters. #AirdropFinderGuide
In early February, Bitcoin was stuck in a loop between $98,900 and $93,500, each time reaching a peak above $95,000 it was pulled down. But this time it feels different.
Previously, everything revolved around macroeconomic fluctuations causing panic.
Currently, BTC has risen to $95,000 after a much stronger price surge, surpassing previous resistance levels. In short, many holders are currently in profit and have fewer reasons to withdraw.
The HODL season may have returned. Based on on-chain data, Bitcoin's Realized HODL Ratio (R-HODL) has just reached a two-month high.
The price of XRP continues to trade above the 200-day EMA at $1.98 last week, rising more than 8% and closing above the daily resistance level at $2.23 on Sunday. As of Monday afternoon, XRP is fluctuating steadily around $2.24. If the current upward trend continues, XRP could extend its recovery, aiming to test the peak from March 24 at $2.50 before moving further towards the important psychological level of $3.00.
The RSI indicator on the daily timeframe is currently at 57, above the neutral threshold of 50, further reinforcing the signal of the strength of the upward trend.
However, if XRP loses support at $2.23, selling pressure may increase, pulling the price back down to the next support area near $1.96.
The cryptocurrency market is starting the new week with a slight pullback. XRP is currently trading around $0.61, down 0.63% in the past 24 hours. This comes as Bitcoin has also seen a slight decrease after reaching the resistance level of $95,700 last week.
Meanwhile, the supply of Bitcoin on exchanges continues to decline, which could lead to a supply shortage if demand remains strong. Some analysts believe this could ultimately push prices higher.
Ripple, the blockchain technology company behind the cryptocurrency XRP, has officially confirmed that it will not proceed with its IPO (initial public offering) plan in 2025. This is a surprising move, marking an important strategic shift after years of speculation and expectations from the market.
Long-term strategic priorities instead of public listing
Although it has achieved legal clarity after a prolonged battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ripple stated that the company currently has no need for a public listing. Instead, Ripple is focusing on alternative growth strategies such as acquiring businesses and expanding digital financial products, aiming to establish its position as a global financial organization connecting both the traditional and blockchain worlds.
According to Ripple's President, Monica Long, the company holds billions of dollars in reserve funds and does not require capital from public markets to maintain operations or enhance brand reputation. She shared with CNBC that Ripple "has strong resources" and "does not rely on an IPO for growth."
This contrasts with the expectations of many analysts and long-term investors, who had viewed an IPO as the logical next step following Ripple's legal victory and stable financial foundation.
XRP has once again become the headline. This cryptocurrency is currently trading above $2, generating new excitement across the market. Investors are watching closely – and for good reason. Discussions are heating up around whether XRP could become the next cryptocurrency approved for an ETF in the United States, following Bitcoin and Ethereum.
While the long-term picture looks promising, short-term signals are a bit more cautious. From trading patterns to analysts' predictions, there is a lot happening beneath the surface.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the operator of the largest financial derivatives exchanges in the world, has just announced that XRP futures contracts will officially be listed on May 19.
According to the announcement on April 24, investors will be able to choose between a micro contract of 2,500 XRP and a standard contract with a size of 50,000 XRP. All these contracts will be settled in cash.
Earlier in January 2025, CME had signaled that it would launch XRP futures contracts but later quietly removed the related information from its website.
This new move from CME marks the next step in the wave of financial products related to cryptocurrencies that are rapidly entering the market or awaiting approval in the U.S. — a signal indicating that the acceptance level of financial institutions toward this field has significantly increased. #EthereumFuture
Currently, there are 72 cryptocurrency ETF funds awaiting SEC approval for listing, each fund hopes to participate in the market.
What is a cryptocurrency ETF and why are they important? Cryptocurrency ETFs allow investors to access cryptocurrencies through the stock exchange, eliminating the need to use a wallet or a direct cryptocurrency exchange. Investors can buy ETFs through the stock market to track the price fluctuations of cryptocurrency assets. $TRUMP
Cardano (ADA) has officially broken out above the symmetrical triangle pattern after several weeks of accumulation, surpassing the resistance level of $0.65 thanks to increasingly strong bullish momentum.
This move marks the end of an extended accumulation phase, as the price of ADA has been tightly fluctuating between two converging trend lines. At the time of writing, ADA is trading around the $0.69 mark, recording a slight increase of 0.43% in the past 24 hours.
More importantly, this is a structurally significant breakout, coinciding with the Fibonacci extension level of 1.618 at $0.684 — which has now become a new support area. The next short-term resistance level is at $0.711, seen as the final barrier before ADA can aim for the $0.77 mark.

The rise of Bitcoin coincides with the weakening of the USD and the rebound in gold prices, indicating that the market is shifting towards safer assets.
According to experts from Compass Point, Bitcoin currently has a correlation coefficient of only 0.65 with the S&P 500 index, while usually this number approaches 1 during strong sell-off periods.
This expert believes that institutional cash flow is continuing to pour into BTC, contributing to making the world's largest cryptocurrency more "independent" from stock and technology market fluctuations.
Although Bitcoin's upward trend shows positive signals, experts warn that trading volume remains low.
However, buying power from long-term investors is still increasing, while BTC liquidity in the market is declining, which may continue to support Bitcoin's price in the upcoming volatility
