Bitcoin gained nearly 1% in the past one day to trade at $116,364 on Wednesday. Meanwhile Ethereum went down by 0.64% in the same period to trade at $ 4,486. According to the analysts, the crypto market is gaining momentum ahead of Fed’s rate cut decision with BTC near $117K and Ethereum rebounding towards $4,500.
With fewer coins available to trade, immediate liquidity is tighter, which could limit short-term selling pressure. On the other hand, Gold’s rally to all-time highs could further strengthen Bitcoin’s momentum. A sustained move above $118,000 would confirm bullish momentum and open the door for Bitcoin to test new highs in the coming weeks,” Patel adds.
At 10:09 AM IST, Bitcoin was trading at $116,345, up by 0.91% over the past 24 hours and up by nearly 4.30% over the past week. Ethereum, meanwhile, was at $4,487, down by 0.57% in the past 24 hours and up by 4.04% over the last seven days.
According to CoinMarketCap, the overall cryptocurrency market capitalisation stood at around $4.03 trillion on Wednesday.

Another analyst also says that BTC is holding near this level ahead of the US Fed decision and a 25 basis point cut looks priced in and also believes that the structure stays constructive so long as $114,000 holds. However, leverage and the FOMC headline make near-term whipsaws

The caveat is liquidity: about $4.5 billion of token unlocks in September and brisk rotation into higher-beta altcoins could stress depth. The next leg higher won’t be about the cut alone, but whether crypto can absorb unlocks and still funnel flows into BTC and ETH,” Subburaj further adds.

In a recent update on X, market watcher Steph provided a detailed analysis for XRP holders, stating that the final countdown for a potential price reversal has begun.
According to Steph, there are strong signals indicating when XRP could break back to the upside. His analysis focused on XRP’s current position in relation to the exponential moving average (EMA) ribbons.
Traders widely use the EMA ribbons to gauge bullish or bearish market conditions. When the price of XRP is below the ribbons, it signals bearish momentum, which is the case at the moment.
Steph stated that XRP has been trading below the EMA ribbons for 37 days since the beginning of February. He pointed out that the last time XRP traded below the ribbons was in October 2024.
According to him, XRP spent 35 days in this bearish territory before breaking above the ribbons and sparking a monumental price rally. During this time, XRP jumped from approximately $0.50 to over $3 before the current correction began.
Historical Patterns Pointing to XRP Reversal
Furthermore, Steph highlighted historical patterns, comparing the current market conditions to other instances when XRP dipped below the EMA ribbons. One such example was in April 2024.
He noted that XRP spent 90 days below the ribbons before experiencing a 43% price rally. Another notable instance was in August 2023, when the token spent 64 days below the ribbons, only to rise by 47% after breaking through.
Accordingly, Steph suggests that the current market scenario is no different, with XRP possibly on the verge of a similar breakout. He argued that the worst-case scenario for XRP is to spend 90 days below the EMA ribbons.
Meanwhile, he stated that the moderate case is 64 days. With few occasions where XRP traded below the ribbons for 36 days, and now that it has already spent 37 days, Steph sparked optimism that XRP could be about to see a huge reversal.

XRP is now 37 days below EMA ribbons says Steph
Key Price Levels to Watch
The analyst pinpointed a key level for XRP to break through in order to confirm the potential price reversal. According to Steph, if XRP breaks above $2.35 with a daily close, it could trigger a massive rally.
He estimated that the minimum rally would be around 40% based on previous movements. Yet, he hinted that the price could rise even more.
The Short Squeeze Potential
Another critical point Steph raised is the current funding rates for XRP. He noted that funding rates are extremely negative, and many traders are shorting XRP.
“This creates a lot of liquidity above us with very little below. Price typically targets the highest liquidity, so a massive short squeeze is likely to occur soon,” he said.
Steph believes a short squeeze could accelerate the price surge, fueling the anticipated rally.

Recent Shiba Inu Bearish Performance 
Shiba Inu has continued to trade in bearish territory in recent weeks, thanks to the unending downturn across the broader crypto market. 
At the current price of $0.00001306, SHIB is down 1.34% in the past 24 hours, 7.3% in the past week, and 17.84% over the past 30 days. Shiba Inu has also lost 59.37% of its value over the past three months, leading to its collapse to the $0.000013 mark. 
Despite Shiba Inu’s devastating plunge, several enthusiasts like Jeremie are optimistic about the token’s potential, with the expert projecting that SHIB could ‘go to the moon’ this cycle. 
SHIB Is Set for a Strong Cycle, But There’s a Catch 
Interestingly, the renowned crypto educator predicts that SHIB will perform strongly in this cycle. However, he cautions that the token might not deliver the dramatic rallies some investors expect this cycle.
Explaining the rationale behind this reasoning, Jeremie acknowledged that Shiba Inu has a strong utility following the introduction of Shibarium. According to him, Shibarium provides users with low-cost transactions and boasts the ability to run different types of applications. 
Despite Shibarium’s technical capabilities, Jeremie notes that “nobody is using it.” He emphasized that there are no real-world applications on Shibarium that drive SHIB’s adoption. 
“If they get that solved, Shiba Inu will go to the moon,” Jeremie asserted. 

This suggests that if the ecosystem team can attract real-world applications to Shibarium that utilize SHIB for transactions, the token’s price will skyrocket significantly this cycle. 
Meanwhile, the ecosystem team has embarked on various initiatives to drive Shibarium’s adoption, including partnering with top crypto projects like Chainlink and K9 Finance DAO. 
For instance, its partnership with Chainlink allows Shibarium to integrate the protocol’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), granting more accessibility to Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens, including SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT. 
As the team rolls out more initiatives to drive Shibarium’s adoption—especially attracting more decentralized applications that leverage SHIB—Jeremie expects the token to experience a significant price surge.

Cardano price is drawing attention from analysts, with recent forecasts indicating the potential for a strong upward movement. Crypto analysts Javon Marks and Ali Martinez have identified key resistance levels that could determine ADA price trajectory.
While Martinez emphasizes the importance of a breakout above $1.14 to trigger a rally toward $2, Marks presents a highly bullish scenario, suggesting that Cardano price could experience an 8X surge if historical patterns repeat.
Cardano Price Consolidates Within a Bullish Pattern
According to Ali Martinez, Cardano price is consolidating within a right-angled descending broadening wedge, a pattern often associated with bullish reversals. The price has been fluctuating inside this structure, forming lower lows and stable resistance levels. This suggests a phase of accumulation before a potential breakout.
Martinez has identified $1.14 as a key resistance level. If Cardano price breaks above this threshold, it could initiate strong upward momentum, pushing ADA toward the $2 mark. The pattern indicates that ADA is at a crucial point, with traders watching for a decisive move that confirms the next trend direction.
Javon Marks Predicts an 8X Surge
Javon Marks has provided a more optimistic outlook for Cardano price, predicting a potential 8X increase if ADA follows previous breakout patterns. He notes that ADA has already gained nearly 300% since its last breakout, reinforcing its strength in the current market cycle.
Based on past performance, Marks identifies key price targets at $2.7709, $5.2962, and $7.8215. These levels reflect historical trends where Cardano price surged after a breakout confirmation. He also points out that the altcoin rally in this cycle appears stronger than before, increasing the likelihood of ADA reaching these targets.

With the meme coins taking a pause after massive price jumps, the low cap altcoins are gaining momentum. Amidst such market conditions, the Terra tokens display a gradual rise in bullish momentum in a rising channel. 
However, with the BTC price struggling under the $70K level, will the altcoins manage a comeback in a volatile market? So, let’s look closer at their price charts to identify bullish entry spots. 
Will Terra Classic Rising Channel Fuel Golden Cross?
With a recovery trend in motion, the LUNC pricetrend shows a bullish attempt to gain momentum to gradually undermine the previous correction wave. Further, the Terra Classic token is up against the bearish aligned 50 and 200 EMA in the daily chart after the recent death cross. 

TradingView
Currently, the recovery rally displays a comeback from the 78.60% Fibonacci level and challenges the 61.80% Fibonacci level. Further, the rising channel reveals an underlying improvement. 
With a push from the broader market recovery, the Terra Classic (LUNC) price trend could reach the $0.00015 mark or the 50% Fibonacci level. 
Will Luna Price Reach $0.00017?
Similar to the Terra Classic chart, the LUNA price chart shows a similar rising channel as the demand increases significantly over the week. The altcoin has increased by 12% in a fortnight, teasing a stronger recovery rally.

TradingView
Moreover, the bullish trend surpasses the 50D EMA and challenges the 23.60% Fibonacci level. Furthermore, the bullish rise in the RSI line approaches the overbought boundary. In case of a bullish breakout, the uptrend in the LUNA price can reach the $0.00017 mark or the 50% Fibonacci level. 
In conclusion, the bullish trend in the Terra tokens is gaining momentum and teases a trend reversal rally in the coming weeks. With bullish patterns and breakout possibilities, the altcoin prices could reach the marked 50% Fibonacci level in respective charts
