Prominent analyst EGRAG Crypto has confirmed that XRP is breaking out of a key descending channel, exactly as he predicted. In an X post, he highlighted that the breakout he forecast yesterday on the 4-hour chart is “happening right now,” validating his earlier analysis. EGRAG had noted earlier that as long as XRP remains above $2.973, the configuration stays positive, aiming for $3.12122 and potentially extending beyond. Chart Dynamics The uploaded 4-hour chart illustrates the move perfectly. Price action had been compressing inside a descending channel while forming an ascending triangle — a powerful combination that often precedes strong upside. XRP repeatedly tested the channel’s upper resistance before surging higher, confirming EGRAG’s roadmap. #XRP : Breaking Out of the Descending Channel! Check out my detailed prediction from yesterday on the 4-hour time frame! Once again, my analysis was spot on! The Post is below Now, let's dive back into the technical analysis Let’s Zoom In : The breakout is happening… https://t.co/ph79DpSEoo pic.twitter.com/LjeKzQJK9c — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) September 12, 2025 His analysis also pinpointed key safety nets: the 21 EMA at $2.957, the 100 EMA at $2.912, and a critical retest level at $2.85 if momentum falters. These levels now act as important markers for traders monitoring the breakout. Confirmation from Live Market Data Real-time market feeds show XRP recently trading above $3.00, aligning with EGRAG’s breakout narrative and strengthening the case for his short-term target near $3.12. Broader technical commentary notes that clearing the $3.10–$3.40 region could open the door to a more extended rally , provided buying pressure remains strong. The clean separation from the descending channel adds further conviction to the bullish scenario. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Supportive Market Environment This breakout comes as risk appetite across the crypto market improves. Analysts report increased institutional participation and higher intraday volumes, creating deeper liquidity for altcoins like XRP. Stronger bids and renewed momentum provide the perfect backdrop for a sustained move higher once a pattern like this confirms. Trading Perspective EGRAG’s strategy is clear: wait for confirmation and manage risk carefully. Traders eyeing this move should watch for a decisive 4-hour close above the triangle and channel, accompanied by rising volume. Staggered entries and stops just below the EMA band or near the $2.85 level can help protect capital while leaving room to capture potential gains if XRP meets or exceeds the $3.12 target. EGRAG Crypto’s analysis has unfolded with striking precision. If market momentum continues. Traders and investors now have a clearly defined map: maintain key supports and let the breakout unfold.

Summary Cipher Mining (CIFR) reported Q2 2025 results with strong revenue growth and expanding cash reserves, but escalating losses raise profitability concerns. CIFR's investments in infrastructure, notably the operational Black Pearl data center, are expected to boost hashrate and future revenue. Despite a solid balance sheet, rising depreciation, financial costs, and shareholder dilution from equity issuances pose significant risks for CIFR. Given the leveraged, volatile nature of CIFR as a Bitcoin proxy and ongoing losses, I maintain a Hold rating on the stock. I have written about Cipher Mining ( CIFR ) a while back , and it always looked like a leveraged play on BTC. Q2 2025 earnings just proved this – revenue from mining is growing, but losses are increasing even faster. This seems like the cost structure is becoming problematic and revenue is not catching up. The balance seems to be strong – cash is growing, equity as well. This gives financial reserves runway to survive bad quarters. Still, profitability is a risk, until the company solves their losses, it's unclear how long this runway will last. Q2 Financial Results CIFR reported their Q2 results and still they show signs of strong balance and growing revenue, but at the same time losses are making it risky. Revenue from BTC mining was $43.6 million, compared to $36.8 million a year ago. This is 18% growth, which shows that operations are growing. Problem is that at the same time, the loss grew as well, almost 3 times, from -$15.3 million to -$45.8 million. Half year results show it even worse, in 2024 H1, the company had net income of $24.6 million, but in 2025 H1 it was -$84.8 million loss. Revenue in H1 was $92.5 million, compared to $84.9 million a year ago. To be fair, it signals to me that costs are increasing and revenue is not catching up. Seeking Alpha Balance is good, cash reserves jumped to $62.7 million, compared to $5.6 million in 2024. This means that the company has reserves to continue operating even in bad quarters. Total assets increased to $1.02 billion (from $855 million). This seems to me like a strong foundation, which gives some security for investors. Biggest problem in my opinion is lack of profitability. If Q2 loss was lower, I could even say that the quarter was ‘investing into growth’. But -$45.8 million, per quarter, when revenue is $43.6 million, shows that the structure is not good. This also does not give much security as the cash reserves might run out as well. Seeking Alpha Good News Bitcoin reserve increased. Current worth is somewhere around $112.1 million, when it was $92.7 a year back. This means that CIFR has bigger reserve for the future, which could be a financial amortization when markets fluctuate. They had ATM emission as well, where they raised around $85.7 million and took a loan of $172.5 million by issuing convertible bonds with 1.75% coupon until 2030. This is quite cheap financing if you ask me, which gives them some runway money. Infrastructure got investments too. Company invested $164.4 million into new equipment and $55.9 into Black Pearl. This means that they are increasing hash rate potential and strengthening position before next cycles. Black Pearl One of the biggest catalysts I believe happened in Q2 2025 is new data center construction in Texas. The project is called Black Pearl , and it should generate 300 MW. Good news its already connected to the grid. First phase has started with 150 MW power. The rest of it should be turned on in following quarters. Investments into the project were somewhat more than $126 million, most of it went to construction, infrastructure and equipment. CIFR expects that Black Pearl will increase hashrate and will become main revenue source. This project showed that CIFR not only talks but at the same time builds. And that they can coordinate such projects. The difference from competitors is that they already have a working data center. Only one thing I noticed, is that Black Pearl does not have fixed electricity pricing. So that means that costs can vary depending on the electricity market and spot prices. From one side, this means they can sell excess power and get some revenue, from other that means they can get some pressure on their revenue as well. Black Pearl (Cipher Mining Announces August 2025 Operational Update) Risks I have told about the losses, but lets dive deeper into them. The depreciation in Q2 2025 was $44 million, almost double compared to $20 million a year ago. And as I said, infrastructure is growing, that is good, but depreciation will increase with it as well, so we might see pressure on results. Derivatives brought losses as well. Luminant Power Agreement value fell and cost -$15.5 million. This is a good reminder that financial instruments are risky to everyone and especially to the company which relies on them. So, the worst thing is that the company’s equity is growing not through profits, but through emissions, which dilutes current shareholders and increases risk, while ROI stays low. At the same time, issuing bonds is just increasing burden. Another thing is cash flow. Part of the revenue comes from selling BTC, which is considered investments. This means that operational results are weaker. Seeking Alpha For portfolio building I have taken a look at CIFR and BTC from econometric perspective. And the image is quite interesting. CIFR is like a leveraged play on BTC. When BTC goes up, CIFR goes higher even more, but it has the same effect when going down. When BTC goes down, so does CIFR, sometimes even more. Correlation is another interesting part. If you look at the chart, from first sight it would look like they are correlating one to one, but in reality, correlation is around 0.27-0.36. This means that the connection exists but it’s not perfect. Why? Because daily numbers are noisy – CIFR has its own additional risks like operations, electricity pricing and so on. So this is why even though the direction of BTC and CIFR is the same, daily fluctuations may differ. I took weekly numbers and correlation immediately looks better, because the noise is fading. But, risk is daily, not weekly, this means that when retail investor spots that they ‘move together’, CIFR might have already made a move. Daily chart of CIFR and BTC (Pink) price action (TradingView) Granger causality and VAR models showed that BTC does not statistically predict CIFR. In other words, there is no model that shows that ‘BTC makes a move and CIFR follows’. Most of the time, they move together at the same time. VAR model showed instability, so that means that they both together make up really unstable system. Volatility here shows the most interesting part. BTC volatility movements per day is somewhere between 3-5%, at the same time CIFR might be moving 20-40%. This does not mean that we might see the price increasing or decreasing in such numbers, this means that we might get days where this happens. So holding CIFR means you take more risk than holding BTC at this point. What you should take from my rant? That CIFR is leveraged play on BTC, it may move and give you really big profits on bull markets, or give you a lot of losses on bear market. The charts and econometrics show the same, correlation exists, but causality doesn’t, but the risk is a few times higher. So, investing into CIFR means that you take the possibility of watching the stock moving irrational and volatile. CAN Analyst model Summary Cipher Mining Q2 2025 results show two sides. Revenue is increasing, the balance is strong, and cash reserves are growing. The company is investing into infrastructure, new projects like Black Pearl (which as mentioned already operational, and should become a catalyst). All this shows good direction. But at the same time, the losses are risky. The company recorded quite large losses in H1 2025, when in H1 2024 they had profits. Rising depreciation and financial costs, profitability is questionable. Furthermore, part of the revenue is coming from BTC selling, not from operations, and share issuance dilutes current shareholders. This is why I am ranking it hold , it's now just speculation on BTC, and I see too many risks, previously I was bullish, now it is time to take profits, and wait for new entries if they come.
An expert crypto trader shares a strong view on Dogecoin and the broader market, saying conditions look very favorable right now. In their view, momentum is building for the Dogecoin price, and this is not a trend that traders should ignore. The trader warns that the current chart is one “you don’t want to fade.” Dogecoin ETF Launch In The U.S. Market Boosts Dogecoin Price The first reason the trader gives for their optimism is the imminent launch of the first Dogecoin Exchange-Traded Fund in the United States. The Dogecoin ETF goes live on September 11, 2025. By having an ETF in the U.S., the memecoin is gaining new legitimacy and stronger recognition from traditional investors, making participation much easier. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Ready To Break Out, But You Should Watch Out For $3.13 When a new financial product enters the market, it typically attracts new capital from investors, resulting in increased trading activity and more pronounced, noticeable price movements. For Dogecoin, the trader says, this could mark the start of a new phase of adoption. With greater access to Dogecoin through an ETF, liquidity could deepen, and price moves could become stronger. By listing in the U.S. market, Dogecoin gets a stamp of approval that could spark fresh momentum. The expert makes it clear that this is one reason the coin’s outlook looks “very good” right now. In their view, it signals that Dogecoin is moving into a different category of investment. What started as a meme coin is now entering the mainstream finance sector. With an ETF available, Dogecoin now stands alongside more established assets, which could alter its valuation. Rate Cuts And Altcoin Strength Add To Dogecoin Price Bullish Outlook The second reason for the expert’s bullish view is the broader macroeconomic conditions. They note that rate cuts will begin in about a week. When interest rates decline, risky assets like cryptocurrencies often become more attractive, as investors shift away from low-yield options and seek opportunities to earn higher returns. At the same time, the expert observes that several altcoins are starting to recover. When altcoins rise in tandem, the entire market appears healthier and more stable. According to the expert crypto trader, this momentum could help maintain the bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price.

In other words, ignoring the setup could mean missing one of the strongest opportunities in the current crypto market. They believe the mix of an ETF launch, economic support from rate cuts, and fresh strength in altcoins makes this one of the most positive moments for Dogecoin in a long time. With these combined factors, the trader remains firm in their outlook: Dogecoin looks very promising, and the momentum is genuine. Featured image from DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
