Bitcoin (BTC) has recently reached a new weekly high above the $112,000 mark, signaling a potential new uptrend for the leading cryptocurrency. This movement may represent the final phase of the current cycle for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. Market analyst CryptoBirb has indicated that this uptrend could last for approximately 50 more days, emphasizing that Bitcoin is now 95% through its cycle, which has spanned 1,017 days since the lows of November 2022. 50 Days Until Possible Bitcoin Peak Historically, Bitcoin’s bull markets have peaked between 1,060 and 1,100 days after significant lows, suggesting a target timeframe for this cycle’s peak could fall between late October and mid-November 2025. The analysis highlights the typical relationship between Bitcoin’s Halving events and subsequent price peaks. Since the last Halving in April 2024, 503 days have passed, with past data showing that price peaks usually occur 518 to 580 days following such events.

As seen in the chart below, Bitcoin is currently 77% to 86% of the way through this timeline, entering what the analyst refers to as the “hot zone”—a period of heightened volatility and potential price movements. However, CryptoBirb cautions that historical trends indicate that after reaching a peak, Bitcoin typically experiences a significant decline, often dropping by 70% to 80% over a 370 to 410-day timeframe. This bearish phase is projected for approximately the first and second quarter of 2026, with a historical probability of a bear market in that year reaching 100%. Before this potential downturn, the analyst expects a final surge, with about 50 days remaining before the market may peak. September, often recognized as a weaker month for Bitcoin, has shown an average decline of 6.17%. Although third quarter statistics can be mixed, with a median increase of 0.80%, the overall average tends to reflect a decline due to larger losses. The typical seasonal pattern suggests that a poor September could be followed by stronger performance in October and November, with September 17 identified as a crucial date to watch by the analyst. Critical Support And Resistance Levels On the technical front, Key support levels are identified at the 50-week simple moving average (SMA) of $95,900 and the 200-week SMA at $52,300. The daily chart reveals further technical insights, including a 200-day breakout point at $111,000 and a 200-day SMA at $101,000. CryptoBirb has identified local support between $107,700 and $108,700, while resistance sits at $113,000 to $114,100.

CryptoBirb asserts that if Bitcoin falls below the critical levels of $107,000 to $108,000, bearish sentiment could intensify, potentially leading to secondary corrections in the range of 20% to 30%. Fortunately, cryptocurrency miners appear to be faring well, with the mining cost established at $95,400, suggesting a healthy market environment with minimal capitulation risk. Lastly, the analyst cautions against the potential for a market peak leading into the altcoin season in October and November. CryptoBirb suggests to mark calendars for October 22, as it could be a pivotal date in Bitcoin’s cycle. As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $112,886, down nearly 11% from all-time high levels.

Crypto researcher SMQKE shared a post claiming that Ripple’s integration with Finastra opens access to 11,000 SWIFT-connected financial institutions. The post was accompanied by four attached documents and diagrams described as evidence to support the statement. SMQKE emphasized the scale of this access by referencing RippleNet’s current network of around 200 connected institutions compared to SWIFT’s much larger footprint. RIPPLE INTEGRATION WITH FINASTRA OPENS ACCESS TO 11,000 SWIFT-CONNECTED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS Documented 4x. https://t.co/ZiU0osD4h5 pic.twitter.com/rjbCGgWl9d — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) September 5, 2025 Why This Is Significant to Ripple The attached documents contained details about Finastra’s service bureau and its connectivity model. One section quoted Marcus Treacher, former Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, who described Finastra as an established fintech player working with a majority of the world’s top banks. Treacher stated that the partnership would expand Ripple’s reach and solutions for its partners while also broadening the footprint of RippleNet . He highlighted that the collaboration would enable institutions to transact directly with each other. Another excerpt included in the documentation highlighted the numerical gap between RippleNet and SWIFT . RippleNet was noted to have 200 connected institutions, a figure described as small when compared to the 11,000 institutions connected through SWIFT. The attached note suggested that this deal could benefit both Finastra’s and Ripple’s existing clients by creating a pathway for interoperability. Finastra’s own perspective was also reflected in the material. Ritesh Singh, SVP of FMS at Finastra, was quoted as saying that working with Ripple would allow the company to offer fast and reliable cross-border payments using blockchain technology. He added that this would be particularly useful in regions where the cost of correspondent banking remains high. Diagrams and Connectivity Models The four images included in SMQKE’s post provided diagrams illustrating how Finastra’s systems connect to different payment networks. One diagram showed Finastra’s service bureau linking banks to both Ripple and SWIFT, with a flow of services such as payment processing, sanctions screening, and cash visibility. Another depicted a structure where customer banks’ back-office systems connect through Finastra to both Ripple’s xCurrent cloud and SWIFT messaging. Further diagrams demonstrated correspondent banking flows, showing Ripple and SWIFT as parallel channels accessible through Finastra’s connectivity. The simplified schematic presented by SMQKE indicated a model where a bank’s core system connects via Finastra’s Zurich-based service bureau to both Ripple and SWIFT infrastructures. Interpretation of the Post SMQKE claims that the integration creates a significant extension of Ripple’s potential reach by connecting indirectly to the 11,000 financial institutions that use SWIFT through Finastra.

The documentation suggests that Ripple’s blockchain technology could complement Finastra’s existing infrastructure to provide additional efficiency for financial institutions already using SWIFT.

The blockchain hackathon ecosystem saw explosive growth in 2024 and continues to expand massively in 2025. This year, well-known hackathons such as ETHDenver 2025, HeDERA Africa, and Unite DeFi 2025 (in collaboration with 1inch) pushed things even further, giving builders the chance to compete for recognition as the next defi unicorn and seek funding opportunities.
With the Bitcoin price hitting roadblock after roadblock , the next direction looks to be down, with sell pressure mounting up. There have also been crashes below major support levels, such as $112,000, that continue to hinder the growth of the digital asset. This has turned these former support levels into resistance, and one in particular remains a hindrance to the uptrend. If the resistance at $114,000 continues to hold, then Bitcoin investors may be in for a terrible time. Bitcoin Price Remains At Risk Of Crash According to crypto analyst BitBull, the recent rejection of the Bitcoin price from the resistance before $114,000 is a major source of concern. This has cast a shadow over every recovery that the Bitcoin price has staged recently, with the bears still holding a significant amount of power over the price. In the analysis , BitBull pointed out that the $114,000 level remains the level to beat if there is to be a significant recovery. Specifically, the Bitcoin price would have to reclaim this level on the daily timeframe and hold it before further uptrends can occur. Another problem that the cryptocurrency is facing is the timeframe issue. The crypto analyst also points out that the Bitcoin price would need to reclaim $114,000 to increase its chances of an uptrend. This is because the longer it takes for the price to cross $114,000 on the daily timeframe, the higher the chances that the price will crash further . Until this happens, though, BitBull says any recovery is just a bull trap and could precede the next wave of declines. Where BTC Could Be Headed From Here Another crypto analyst, Mags, has also called out the possibility that the Bitcoin price could see a crash from here. This time around, the level of interest is much lower than the $114,000 that BitBull called out, with Mags explaining that $108,000 is actually the point of interest. This level has served as major support during the recent crash, making it the level to beat for bears if they want to take the Bitcoin price lower. Inversely, it is now the level for bulls to defend against further onslaught, and the demand at this level needs to hold to continue the rally. If bulls are successful and they have $108,000, then the crypto analyst sees the Bitcoin price going higher, and possibly toward new all-time highs. However, in the case of a breakdown and bears taking over the support at $108,000, then the Bitcoin price is expected to crash below $100,000 .
A new generation of altcoins is taking its turn in the spotlight as the Wall Street appetite toward new cryptos grows. Led by Mutuum Finance (MUTM) , an up-and-coming decentralized lending protocol that is causing some splash with its innovative dual lending strategy the market is gearing up for a run. Today, Stage 6 of the MUTM presale is taking place and costs $0.035. Solana (SOL) still portrays a healthy network usage, and the emergence of new participants but MUTM is attracting attention owing to its ability to transform the crypto-backed lending markets. Solana (SOL) Holds over $200 Above Institutional interests Solana (SOL) is strong after breaking above $200 on growing investor adoption. Recent collaborations and staking action have solidified its ecosystem and future spot ETF applications can further increase its visibility should they be approved later this year. Analysts believe that sustaining momentum in the above trading range may be the gateway to a trend toward the $250 to $300 price levels. However, short-term declines are possible as traders take profits. Meanwhile, investor interest is slowly moving to other upcoming decentralized finance initiatives like Mutuum Finance. Stage 6 Presale Live supported by Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Mutuum Finance is already a part of the DeFi community and has more than 16,100 investors and more than $15.45 million in presale. The project is also operating a $50,000 USDT Bug Bounty Program to improve security on the platform and to further encourage community engagement, which has rewards allocated to four risk tiers, such as critical, major, minor, and low. Interest Rate Models When money is abundant, rates are kept low in MUTM; when money is scarce the rates are raised, attempting to make borrowing costly; or, in other words, to push those who had borrowed to make payments. This works well in maintaining a strong protocol while best-serving users. Mutuum Finance Enriches Security Mutuum Finance is applying strict parameters to each asset it supports to make sure it has a high risk profile, including supply, borrowing limits and even collateral limits. The protocol can more readily withstand market volatility via overcollateralization of positions and stabilize undercollateralized positions via incentivized liquidators. The deposits and borrowing restrictions will restrain exposure to illiquid or risky assets and, therefore, restrain insolvency risks. Correlated assets can have greater collateral efficiency and high-risk tokens are limited in the collateral available to them. Mutuum Finance Makes a Giveaway Gamified As part of a $100,000 giveaway , ten lucky investors will be walking away with $10,000. This makes the existing investors, as well as new investors more enthusiastic about the platform. Among the most interesting altcoins as Wall Street continues to increase its exposure to crypto is Mutuum Finance (MUTM), which is competing on an equal footing with Solana (SOL) due to its novel model of decentralized lending. Stages 6 tokens are pre-sale priced at $0.035, and have raised over $15.45 million and 16,100+ investors in board, both good news. The price of SOL will not fall below $200, and may increase to $250-$300 should institutional momentum persist, but MUTM has a more aggressive growth curve with its two lending protocols, $50,000 bug bounty, and $100,000 giveaway to increase community participation. The project is designed to be scaled and secure with risk controls like overcollateralization and dynamic interest rates. Enter Stage 6 in advance to be guaranteed entry before the following price increase.
