Bitcoin (BTC) is beginning to flash warning signs that could disrupt its recent bullish momentum. According to some analysts, BTC risks breaking below the key $100,000 price level, potentially tumbling as low as $96,000. Bitcoin Showing Warning Signs In an X post published today, noted crypto analyst Titan of Crypto shared the following BTC daily chart. The analyst suggested that a Head and Shoulders pattern may be forming, with a possible downside target around $96,000. BTC is currently trading near the neckline of this pattern. A breakdown below this level could send the digital asset toward its next significant support zone near $96,000. For the uninitiated, the Head and Shoulders pattern is a bearish chart formation with three peaks – a higher middle peak (the head) between two lower ones (the shoulders). A break below the neckline support often signals a potential trend reversal and further downside. Fellow crypto trader TraderXO echoed Titan’s view. In a separate X post, he noted that BTC was recently rejected at the 7-day Composite Volume Profile (COMP) Value Area High (VAH). He stated: Acceptance below Value Area Low (VAL) = makes me believe we clean up the poor lows down at 103 and if that fails to stick then into the SP’s I marked out in previous tweets. 104’s continue being defended but some heavy sell flows persist. TraderXO added that the BTC market is still largely in the hands of sellers, which may trigger the unwinding of more long positions. Until selling pressure eases, there remains a risk of BTC falling to around $97,200. Analysts Say No Need To Panic While the aforementioned setups urge caution, other analysts maintain that the broader market structure remains strong. For example, crypto analyst Jelle shared the following chart, suggesting that BTC may be mirroring its previous bullish consolidation phase just below its former all-time high (ATH). Meanwhile, analyst Master of Crypto pointed to the evolving nature of Bitcoin market cycles. In an X post, he observed that bull runs have been getting longer while bear phases are shortening. He also noted that each new macro-level ATH has historically occurred in November or December. If that pattern holds, BTC could reach a new ATH in about six to seven months. Macroeconomic trends also appear to favor BTC. In an X post, market commentator Ted Pillows pointed out the ongoing breakdown in the US Dollar Index (DXY), which is typically bullish for Bitcoin and other risk-on assets. At the same time, on-chain data shows that Bitcoin whales are steadily increasing their holdings – fuelling optimism that a supply squeeze could drive prices sharply higher. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $104,530, down 0.7% in the past 24 hours.
Binance Coin has seen steady buying pressure since March, making the case for bullish strength.
Several cryptocurrency analysts have recently reignited the conversation surrounding XRP’s future, releasing price forecasts that vary from optimistic to highly speculative. One such analyst, known by the name CryptoBilbuwoo0, referenced the Fibonacci retracement model to support the view that XRP is approaching a major upward shift. He highlighted the asset’s historical price movement, recalling its surge above $ 3.30, which brought it close to its all-time high, as the basis for setting a series of ambitious targets. According to his projections, XRP may see price levels of $4.29 and $6.78 in a relatively conservative scenario. However, he also proposed extreme possibilities, with the token potentially reaching prices in the $26.60 to $28.80 range, putting it close to the $27 target that another prominent analyst has been predicting for years. More strikingly, he suggests estimates extending to $589 and even $1,458.30, raising concerns over the feasibility of such projections under current market dynamics. More Optimistic XRP Predictions In a similar tone, crypto influencer JackTheRippler (@RippleXrpie) referred to a rumor connecting XRP’s price to a proposed legislative initiative known as the GENIUS Stablecoin Act . The speculation implied that this development could propel the asset to $250. While he did not reveal the reason behind this prediction, some in the community believe it may have ties to RLUSD, Ripple’s stablecoin. At this stage, however, these connections are based solely on unverified claims. Adding to the chorus of optimistic voices, analyst BarriC (@B_arri_C) stated that XRP is only at the beginning of a dramatic rise, arguing that a $10 valuation is just the early stage of a longer-term upward trend, with $1,000 as the ultimate target. $XRP to $10 is just the beginning of the explosive price action we will see for #XRP $XRP to $1,000 is where $XRP is heading in the near future — BarriC (@B_arri_C) June 3, 2025 Although many detractors often cite market cap concerns, well-known experts with good track records are convinced that the digital asset will hit the $1,000 target . We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 What to Expect from XRP in 2025 Another crypto enthusiast, going by XRP DRAGON (@DRAGON_XRP66), predicted that the digital asset will gain substantial ground in 2025, asserting that investors only have a limited window to purchase the token at a price between $2.00 and $2.30. He believes XRP will dominate 2025, and shared a chart showing a massive green candle suggesting a major price rally. Many experts believe the digital asset will experience a notable price rally this year. While some see targets of $100 or more as impossible, others have debunked market cap concerns and expect massive growth as more money flows into the XRP ecosystem and Ripple’s global partnerships expand.

In the last month, the daily decentralized exchange (DEX) volume on the BNB Chain has shot up, nearly 7x from about $2B in early May to over $14B today. At first glance, this spike looks like a return to better days for DeFi. But if you look under the hood, you find another engine powering this move — a single mid-cap token, ZKJ, which has added around 50% of the total DEX volume. ZKJ Outpaces Peers by 68x — But Why? Grasping the scale of DEX dominance by ZKJ takes some doing. Consider this: ZKJ itself ranks only about #106 by market cap. That’s an ordinary mid-cap position. And yet, its daily volume sits at a figure close to $6.8 billion. An absolutely astonishing amount when you compare it to other tokens with a similar market cap. For instance, Apecoin (APE), a much-hosted token that ranks close to a similar market cap as ZKJ, sees about $100 million in daily volume. Of that, roughly 90% comes from centralized exchanges. Those figures don’t come close to the amount of trading volume ZKJ pulls in from its decentralized exchange. By contrast, ZKJ’s DEX volume is 68 times that of APE, an incredible discrepancy that raises uncomfortable questions. We may find those answers in a new feature offered by Binance: Binance Alpha 2.0. Binance Alpha 2.0 offers users the chance to trade tokens listed on DEXs straight through the Binance CEX interface, even when those very same tokens exist nowhere on Binance itself in any official capacity. This accounting system effectively stitches together the usability of a centralized exchange with the liquidity of a decentralized one, all while users nicely nestle inside the Binance UI they’ve grown attached to. This new trading system is responsible for up to 80% of ZKJ’s trading in the last 24 hours. Much of the recent surge in trading this token has seen can be accounted for by this mechanism. And that is not entirely a good thing. 1/ The daily DEX Volume on BNB has increased 7 times compared to early May, from approximately $2B to $14B. However, close to 50% of the volume comes from ZKJ Pairs, the token by @PolyhedraZK . 2/ For context, ZKJ is a mid-cap token that ranked at 106.

Researchers have flagged a troublesome pattern associated with Binance Alpha 2.0. More than 150 wallets that exhibit nearly identical trading characteristics when it comes to ZKJ have been identified. What’s more, the analysis of blockchain data shows these wallets also exhibit the following traits: Almost identical total amount of trading Nearly the same amount of buying and selling Almost the same number of trades Almost the same average size of the trade These similarities are causing worries about wash trading, a practice in which traders (or bots) quickly buy and sell the same asset to boost volume and make it seem like there’s demand — a behavior that’s often linked to point farming or platform incentive schemes. Binance has accepted that bot activity exists within the Alpha 2.0 framework, which is linked to a points farming program. The platform has stated that it is monitoring this activity and doing what it can to minimize it. Nonetheless, the trading patterns that these wallets exhibit with uncanny regularity have led many people to believe that the trading volume associated with ZKJ is not generated in an organic way. The behavior of the execution addresses used for these trades is even more puzzling. Binance, acting as the proxy for DEX trades through Alpha 2.0, should be consolidating activity. But the execution addresses show that the ZKJ trade volume is evenly distributed, which is not at all what you’d expect with user-driven activity. This suggests that either an orchestrated strategy or an automated process is responsible for generating the volume. A Question of Transparency and Metrics Integrity The ZKJ episode brings into focus a much larger problem that DeFi and hybrid exchange platforms are forced to confront. They have to find a reliable way to tell real market interest from fake, artificially generated metrics. Even massive volume figures can no longer be automatically trusted. There are a few well-known mechanisms and possibly a handful of bots doing the work to drive up the numbers. And the industry learns once again that volume alone doesn’t tell the full story. This is a cautionary tale for investors. Although the emergence of Alpha 2.0 and cross-platform trading brings with it the promise of exciting new tools and efficiencies, it also gives us reasons to suspect that those tools and efficiencies are being gamed. So why be wary? Because these developments threaten to undermine the appearance of genuine liquidity in the capital markets. Binance is still under scrutiny, and so is ZKJ; meanwhile, the industry is waiting to find out more and, quite possibly, some stricter safeguards to ensure that the next surge in billion-dollar volumes really is based on user activity — as opposed to wallets that have been programmed to look, in almost every way that counts, like real users.
