Market Signal Briefing

Ethereum price continues to show weakening momentum as bullish volume fades and bearish candles strengthen, increasing the likelihood of a deeper correction toward key lower support levels.

Summary

Selling pressure continues to outweigh buying interest across multiple time frames
Recent bounce shows limited strength, signalling momentum remains unstable
Broader structure indicates Ethereum may still be searching for a confirmed bottom

Ethereum’s (ETH) recent price movements reflect growing downside pressure as bullish momentum continues to fade across higher time frames. A series of bearish engulfing candles, combined with weakening buyer participation, has shifted the market’s tone toward caution.

Even as BitMine ramps up Ethereum accumulation with a large-scale purchase, overall trend conditions continue to deteriorate, leaving Ethereum at risk of extending its correction into deeper support zones.

Ethereum price key technical points

Bearish engulfing candles and rising sell volume signal weakening bullish momentum
Major support sits near $2,222, aligning with weekly support, value area low and the 0.786 Fibonacci
Local bounce remains weak, keeping short-term trend structure bearish

Ethereum’s price structure has begun to deteriorate as bullish volume continues to fade. Higher-time-frame candles are printing consistent bearish engulfing formations, highlighting that downside pressure is strengthening. This behaviour often precedes deeper corrective moves, especially when paired with rising sell-side volume.

The primary downside target now sits around $2,222. This zone holds significant technical importance, combining weekly support, the value area low, and the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement. Such a strong confluence of levels typically acts as an important reaction point in Ethereum’s broader market structure.

Another key region to be aware of is the Point of Control, which aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci zone. This area previously attracted high trading activity and may serve as a reference level if Ethereum rotates back upward in the future. However, current conditions continue to lean toward further downside until stronger signals appear.

Although Ethereum recently experienced a local bounce, the recovery has been technically weak. Momentum indicators show limited strength, and lower-time-frame structures remain firmly bearish. These shallow responses are common during corrective phases and often indicate that another leg down may form before any meaningful upward reaction, even as some analysts argue Ethereum could eventually lead the next rally due to a catalyst most investors are overlooking.

With selling pressure increasing and no substantial bullish volume stepping in, Ethereum remains vulnerable. Monitoring how price interacts with upcoming support levels will be crucial for understanding whether the correction is nearing exhaustion or if a deeper move is still unfolding.

What to expect in the coming price action
If current conditions persist, Ethereum may continue to slide toward the $2,222 support region. A significant shift in momentum or a sustained reclaim of key structural levels would be required to challenge the existing downtrend. Until then, market structure continues to suggest a broader corrective phase.

TL;DR

XRPL Validator Vet clarified that XRP Ledger smart contracts differ significantly from Ethereum or Solana contracts, emphasizing integration with native XRPL features.
The smart contracts are designed to work seamlessly with XRPL, allowing permissionless execution without affecting validators or existing use cases.
Developers can now test these smart contracts on AlphaNet, opening opportunities for DeFi, gaming, cross-chain bridges, token utilities, and governance systems.

The XRP Ledger has taken a step forward in expanding programmability with smart contracts. Recently, XRPL Validator Vet addressed a widespread misconception: XRP smart contracts are not replicas of Ethereum or Solana contracts. Instead, they are designed specifically to enhance the XRP Ledger’s capabilities while maintaining its core structure and performance. These contracts offer developers flexibility, allowing experimentation with new functionalities and integrations without disrupting the existing network ecosystem.

XRP Smart Contracts are unique and differentiated. Tailored to fit the XRP Ledger.

I flagged very early that the term XRP Ledger "smart contracts" does not imply being Ethereum or Solana.

Understanding XRP Ledger Smart Contracts
Vet explained that XRP Ledger smart contracts integrate directly with the ledger’s native features, rather than replacing them. Unlike some blockchains where smart contracts operate independently, XRPL contracts are designed to work within the existing consensus protocol and ledger architecture. This ensures that user code can execute without requiring approval from the Unique Node List (UNL), keeping the network permissionless by design.

XRP smart contracts also prioritize minimal impact on existing XRPL users. Payments, node performance, and validator costs remain largely unaffected, making it easier for developers to adopt and experiment without compromising network security or efficiency. The architecture allows scaling of complex applications while maintaining predictable performance, which is critical for enterprise adoption and long-term network stability.

Opportunities Enabled by Smart Contracts
The AlphaNet release allows developers to explore a range of use cases. Cross-chain bridges can enable interaction with other blockchain networks, while DeFi applications can include derivatives, perpetual contracts, and advanced trading systems. Token utilities allow staking rewards for issued tokens, and governance mechanisms can support on-chain voting and proposal systems. Gaming applications can leverage smart contracts for asset management, decentralized game logic, and NFT marketplace rules.

XRP Ledger’s smart contracts are not intended to mimic existing designs from other blockchains at the cost of XRPL’s functionality. By building on XRPL’s native building blocks, developers can innovate while maintaining the ledger’s core performance and security standards. They can also integrate additional layers for analytics, monitoring, and automated reporting, further enhancing the development experience.

The clarification from XRPL Validator Vet confirms that XRP smart contracts are a tailored solution for the ledger, emphasizing compatibility, security, and ease of development.

Today’s top news:

Crypto majors rebounded after Friday’s sell off; BTC at $86,000
Coinbase acquired Vector dot Fun from TNSR
Monad presale 1.43x oversubscribed; token and mainnet live today
Hyperliquid’s growth mode initiative to reduce fees by 90%
MegaETH predeposit campaign starts tomorrow
💥 Bitcoin Crashes, Then Snaps BackA brutal Friday selloff turned into a weekend bounce.

Just how bad was it?

📌 What HappenedFriday opened with panic.

Bitcoin sliced below $86K and then fell below $81k before stabilizing.

At one point, the market saw more than $1.7B in liquidations, one of the biggest wipes of the year.

Then it flipped.

Through late Saturday and into Sunday, bids started reappearing.

BTC crawled back above $87K, ETH stabilized, and even the hardest-hit alts posted green.

As the dust settles this morning, here are current prices and their 30-day percent change.

Bitcoin at $86,000 (-23% on the month)

ETH at $2,800 (-29%)
XRP at $2.05 (-20%)
BNB at $840 (-25%)
Solana at $129 (-33%)
One of the worst months since 2022. And as the dust settles, the overall crypto market cap now sits below $3T - down $1.3T in the past 7 weeks.

🧠 Why It MattersFriday was the kind of wipeout that shakes people out of the market.

But there are some reasons for optimism:

The ETFs flipped green again on Friday
Stablecoin outflows slowed the moment BTC stopped falling
Alts showed they still have buyers when BTC stabilizes
Most importantly, the weekend bounce proved there’s still plenty of real demand waiting for discounts.

That doesn’t mean the volatility is over. Far from it.

But there are several indicators and metrics showing that Bitcoin and broader crypto are more oversold right now than they have been since the most extreme bear market conditions.

This week will be telling. If prices stabilize, it will be sighs of relief for most. But if the selling starts again, it will become more clear that a real bear market may be in the crosshairs.

We will find out soon enough.

Max Keiser says October Bitcoin sell-off ended as accumulation surges again.MSCI index fears fueled liquidations, but institutions now resume steady buying.Markets eye 2025 rally as ETF flows stabilize and BTC-backed credit demand grows.Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.

Grab a coffee and brace yourself because Bitcoin’s October sell-off is showing signs of reversal. With buying pressure returning and institutional support strengthening, the market may be positioning for a major rebound in 2025.

Crypto News of the Day: Max Keiser Says Bitcoin Sell-Off Over, Accumulation Surges BackBitcoin’s dramatic October drawdown appears to be over, according to crypto pioneer Max Keiser. The sell-off, triggered by a stablecoin misprint rather than macro events, ETFs, or exchange failures, has given way to a surge in buying interest.

“There was a misprint on one of the stablecoins that triggered a selling cascade. Now we see the market adjusting upward to cover ground lost to the price error,” Max Keiser told BeInCrypto.

Reviewing volume charts, Keiser noted clear signs of seller exhaustion, citing a decline in distribution that is giving way to a surge of buying interest.

This insight aligns with market data showing a sharp rebound in BTC volume after the October 10 crash, suggesting retail and institutional buyers are re-entering the market.

MSCI’s Consultation and Structural Market FearsA little-noticed MSCI consultation note exacerbated the October crash. The proposal suggested that companies with over 50% of assets in digital holdings and operating like a digital treasury could be excluded from MSCI global indices.

MicroStrategy, often viewed as a leveraged Bitcoin proxy, was at risk of forced selling by index funds.

Analyst Bull Theory said MSCI’s announcement added structural fear to an already fragile market, which was facing high leverage, weak Nasdaq performance, and geopolitical tensions.

“The result was one of the biggest liquidation waves in crypto history,” the analyst stated.

Three days later, JPMorgan published a bearish note highlighting the same MSCI risks, amplifying panic in thin liquidity conditions.

Max Keiser emphasized that institutional timing was strategic rather than manipulative, allowing large players to accumulate assets while retail sold under stress. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor publicly clarified the company’s position.

Response to MSCI Index Matter

Strategy is not a fund, not a trust, and not a holding company. We’re a publicly traded operating company with a $500 million software business and a unique treasury strategy that uses Bitcoin as productive capital.

This year alone, we’ve completed…

— Michael Saylor (@saylor) November 21, 2025
Saylor highlighted $7.7 billion in digital credit instruments issued this year, as well as the novel BTC-backed Stretch (STRC) product, reinforcing confidence in the long-term fundamentals.

Saylor’s posts highlight the rise of Bitcoin as premier collateral. Weekly volumes for Strategy’s BTC-backed credit instruments surged from $1.2 million in mid-September to over $13 billion by late November, a growth of more than 1,000%. This highlights the market’s growing reliance on BTC in structured finance, outpacing traditional fiat-backed options.

“There is no reason a new ATH in 2025 shouldn’t happen. The demand for BTC is at an all-time high,” Max Keiser concluded.

While the MSCI decision is set for January 15, 2026, the October crash is now widely viewed as a technical panic rather than a fundamental breakdown.

Analysts expect continued institutional accumulation, stabilization of ETF flows, and a renewed cycle of liquidity. The current market presents an opportunity to capitalize on structural clarity and rising demand, with BTC positioned for a potential 2025 rally.

Despite the crypto market losing billions, XRP defied this trend with $89M in weekly inflows.

Source: ShutterstockXRP Stands Alone Amid $1.94B Crypto Market OutflowsAmid one of the crypto market’s largest capital contractions since 2018, XRP stood out as a rare bright spot. Coinglass data, cited by analyst Xaif Crypto, shows $1.94B in digital asset outflows last week, underscoring XRP’s resilience.

Source: Xaif CryptoBitcoin, the market’s long-standing benchmark, bore the brunt with $1.27 billion in outflows, while Ethereum saw $589 million exit its ecosystem. 

Other major cryptocurrencies, including Solana and multi-asset products, also remained firmly in the red, reflecting a broad-based retreat by investors in the face of heightened market uncertainty.

Amid market turbulence, XRP bucked the trend with $89.3M in inflows, the only major crypto to attract fresh capital last week, signaling growing investor confidence in its near- and mid-term prospects.

Notably, XRP’s momentum extends well beyond this week. Month-to-date inflows hit $351M, while year-to-date totals $2.32B into XRP-linked products. These figures highlight XRP’s rising appeal as a high-liquidity alternative, attracting investors seeking stability amid broader market volatility.

XRP’s resilience is driven by growing institutional interest, advancements in cross-border payment use cases, and perceived undervaluation versus peers. Strong trading volumes in key Asian markets further attract both retail and professional investors seeking strategic exposure.

Amid widespread crypto outflows, XRP stands out, attracting fresh capital and signaling a potential shift in investor preference. Its resilience highlights a high-probability opportunity for short-term gains and medium-term market positioning.

ConclusionAs the broader crypto market bled capital, XRP drew $89.3M in weekly inflows, $351M month-to-date and $2.32B year-to-date. This steady demand marks XRP not just as a survivor in volatile conditions but as a strategically attractive, high-liquidity vehicle for investors looking to capitalize on shifting market dynamics.

Latest Cryptocurrencies News TodayXRP (Ripple) News

ETF analyst Eric Balchunas shared that Grayscale has launched the first US spot Dogecoin exchange-traded fund.
The product, listed under the ticker GDOG, gives everyday investors a simple way to buy exposure to the popular meme asset without holding the token themselves..

A New Way to Access Dogecoin
The GDOG fund charges a 35 basis point fee. A basis point is a small unit equal to one hundredth of a per cent and helps investors compare costs. To attract early interest, the issuer is waiving all fees for the first one billion dollars in assets or the first three months, whichever comes first. This type of promotion is common in the ETF world and often helps new products gain traction.

Dogecoin has long been known for its playful image. Yet it has grown into a large crypto asset with deep liquidity and a strong community. One real-world example is its use by some sports teams and online shops that accept it for small everyday payments. By packaging Dogecoin inside an ETF, the issuer offers a path for traditional investors who want exposure while staying inside their regular brokerage accounts.

The first spot Dogecoin ETF* in US launches today from Grayscale, ticker $GDOG (sounds like a late ’80s one hit wonder rapper). Fee is 35bps but is waived to 0.00% for first 1b or until 3mo. Day One volume predictions welcome. I’m going with $12m. *33 Act pic.twitter.com/QbdLLxejhr

Competition Builds as Bitwise Steps In
The launch will not go unchallenged. Asset manager Bitwise is preparing its own rival product named BWOW, which is scheduled to list on Wednesday. Competing listings often help investors because they tend to push fees down and improve the overall quality of the market.

🚨Bitwise is preparing to launch a spot Dogecoin ETF with the ticker $BWOW on NYSE Arca. pic.twitter.com/nPkzQHqjCZ

— Crypto Coin Show (@CryptoCoinShow) November 8, 2025

This activity reflects a recent trend toward spot crypto ETFs gaining broader acceptance. The industry saw strong inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum spot products earlier this year. According to public fund data, these products helped bring in billions of dollars in new assets, showing clear demand for simple investment tools tied directly to crypto prices.

A Market Shaped by Growing Investor Interest
The creation of these new Dogecoin ETFs highlights how the crypto world continues to blend with traditional finance. Investors who may have been unsure about holding tokens directly now have an easy on-ramp. As new products come to market, it is worth taking time to understand how each fund works and how it fits within a broader investment plan.

Peter Schiff reacted to a post comparing Bitcoin's decade gain with gold's, admitting in his own words that Bitcoin would have boosted his wealth far more but insisting he is comfortable with what he already has.

Cover image via U.Today

Renowned cryptocurrency skeptic Peter Schiff acknowledged that he would have been far wealthier if he had bought Bitcoin, delivering the rare on-the-record admission in reply to a post comparing Bitcoin’s more than 28,000% 10-year gain with gold’s 266% — a contrast he normally avoids giving any oxygen.

So, yes, Peter Schiff indeed confirmed that Bitcoin would have made him much wealthier, but not without a catch. As he says, his current level of wealth is more than enough for him, financial growth is not his only priority and that no one needs to view him as a casualty of missing Bitcoin’s rise. 

Yes I'd be richer had I bought Bitcoin. But I'm rich enough as it is. Plus, there is more to life than money. So there is no need to feel sorry for me, even if I did miss the boat on Bitcoin.

— Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) November 24, 2025 In short, he accepted the math behind the performance gap but framed it as a missed opportunity rather than a personal setback. For a figure who has spent years positioning Bitcoin as unreliable speculation, the acknowledgment itself became the main takeaway.

Bitcoin vs. gold todayIn the meantime, the current market conjecture is the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio doing something it has not done in years. The long-trusted 25 oz. per BTC floor failed cleanly, dropped into the low 20s and is now tracking toward the 13 zone described by Bloomberg analysts as the "Unlucky 13" target — the one that implies a 30% decline from the current level.

If Bitcoin really slips into that 30% drawdown zone, Schiff finally gets the kind of short-term chart he has been begging for, a moment where the ratio seems to tilt in his favor.

But if the drop stalls and Bitcoin snaps back the way it has in every major cycle, his brief victory disappears and the decade's-long performance gap becomes even harder for him to outrun.

Monad’s MON Token Stumbles Out of the Gate in Trading Debut After Slow Token SaleSoft demand, low volume and concerns over token distribution weighed on early market sentiment. Nov 24, 2025, 3:31 p.m.

The MON token for the newly introduced Monad blockchain made its trading debut on Monday, but early market activity suggests a lukewarm reception for one of the year’s most anticipated layer-1 blockchains.

MON changed hands around $0.02417 in the first hours of trading, according to data from Coinbase. With 10.83 billion tokens in circulation, MON opened with a market capitalization of roughly $262 million.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Trading activity was subdued. In the first 100 minutes, MON saw only $50 million in trading volume, less than is typical for a layer-1 token debut and a sign that demand may be softer than expected.

The cool start follows an underwhelming public token sale on Coinbase’s Token Platform. Of the circulating supply, 7.5% was allocated to the sale at $0.025 per token, higher than where MON is currently trading.

Many recent token launches have been snapped up almost instantly, most notably Plasma, which sold out within the first block. In contrast, MON’s sale took significantly longer to clear. That might be a signal of a lack of demand that appears to be a consistent theme with the trading debut.

MON’s tokenomics have sparked debate among the community. The Monad team controls 27% of the total supply, while 19.7% goes to investors, 4% to the Labs Treasury, and 38.5% toward ecosystem development. Some observers have argued that the team’s allocation is unusually large for a new layer-1 network and could weigh on market sentiment.

Summary:

Bitcoin halving is one of the most impactful events for not only BTC, but also the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. There is strong evidence that Bitcoin halving triggers significant price movement within months of the event. With regulatory frameworks inviting institutional investments in crypto, halving could have even greater impacts in the coming years. Bitcoin halving is one of the most critical, predetermined events in BTC’s lifecycle. It’s built right into how Bitcoin works. Let’s break down what it is, how it works, and what it might mean for the crypto world.

What Is Bitcoin Halving? Basically, Bitcoin halving cuts the reward that miners get for checking new blocks by 50%. Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator put this rule in place to keep things scarce. About every four years, or after every 210,000 blocks, the reward gets cut in half. Right now, the total amount of Bitcoins that can ever exist is capped at 21 million.

How Halving Influences Bitcoin’s Value Halving lowers Bitcoin’s inflation, which changes supply and demand. Before, miners got a set amount of BTC for each block. After the 2024 event, that amount is 6.25 BTC, down from 12.5. After the halving, it’ll drop to 3.125 BTC, meaning fewer coins are available. If demand stays the same or goes up because of adoption, money coming in, or big economic changes, the lower supply could push prices up.

EY’s 2025 study points out that halving has usually gone together with price increases, as miners sell less to pay for costs, which tightens things up. But this isn’t a sure thing. Outside things like regulation or world events can change things. For investors, this makes a predictable cycle, where markets often expect the event months before it happens.

Historical Impact and Empirical Evidence In the past, each halving was followed by a big bull run in Bitcoin’s price that lasted for months or years. This isn’t necessarily a cause-and-result thing, since outside things like regulation, adoption, and the economy also play a role, but the pattern is undeniable.

The first halving was on November 28, 2012. Bitcoin was trading at around $12 at the time. Within a year, it jumped over 8,000% to $1,000. On July 9, 2016, Bitcoin was at $658 before halving. After, it went up to almost $20,000 by December 2017, a 2,900% increase. Kaiko Research’s April 2025 report says that Ethereum also rose by over 13,000% at the same time.

A 2024 study by MDPI on the consequences of halving shows that this is true. Average cryptocurrency gains were over 500% in the 12 months after, while trading volumes on exchanges like Binance rose by 300%.

The May 11, 2020, halving happened during the pandemic, with Bitcoin at $8,601. It hit $69,000 in November 2021, a 700% increase. The market grew; DeFi tokens like Uniswap’s UNI took off, and NFTs became popular.

CoinLedger’s data shows that the total crypto market went from $250 billion to $2.9 trillion. The April 20, 2024, halving marked a maturation point, with Bitcoin at $64,500. By November 2025, it’s up about 56% to around $100,000, modest compared to predecessors.

Potential Future Effects of Halving Looking ahead, the halving’s impact could be bigger as more people adopt it and regulations become clearer. VanEck’s April 2024 predictions, updated in late 2025, forecast Bitcoin reaching $150,000–$200,000 by mid-2026, driven by post-halving supply shocks and halving-induced mining consolidation that favors efficient players.

The next halving is expected to happen around 2028, which will cut the payout to 1.5625 BTC. The scarcity narrative, on the other hand, will only get stronger, keeping Bitcoin at the top of the list of assets and the market’s bellwether.

What is the Bitcoin halving?

Bitcoin halving is a programmed event where the reward miners receive for validating a Bitcoin block is cut in half. It happens approximately every four years, or every 210,000 blocks mined, to control supply.

How does Bitcoin halving affect the broader crypto market?

Historically, the excitement and rise in the price of BTC after the halving has resulted in a positive sentiment in the market, which has led to more money flowing into altcoins. This is known as “altcoin season.”

How does halving affect miners?

It halves block rewards, pressuring less efficient miners to exit, consolidating the network. This leads to higher hash rates long-term, enhancing security.

and other assets. The outflows from last week were as high as $1.94 billion, with Bitcoin leading at $1.27 billion.

By Friday of the same week, the flagship cryptocurrency saw a rebound that led to $225 million inflows. However, this was not sufficient to erase the previous outflows.

followed with $589 million outflows after suffering more withdrawals over the last week.

The outflow represents 7.3% of its Asset Under Management (AuM). ETH outflows from the week before were capped at $689 million.

A week before then, when the crypto outflows came in at $1.17 billion, with ETH accounting for $438 million of the total.

The week that ETH recorded $689 million in outflows, XRP also saw $15.5 million in outflows. This time around, it decided to go positively sideways while the other crypto assets moved towards the red. CoinShares’ report shows that it had up to $89.3 million in inflows

Why Did XRP Buck the Outflow Trend?
It is worth acknowledging that XRP has been trending for a number of reasons. Blockchain analytics platform Santiment made a list of possible reasons for XRP’s spotlight.

One is the launch of spot XRP Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), which started with Canary Capital’s XRPC.

On trading day one of XRPC, it recorded up to $58 million, outperforming the Bitwise Solana ETF that was launched earlier.

Bitwise Asset Management has also launched its spot XRP ETF. Surprisingly, it secured the asset’s native ticker, suggesting strong exchange confidence in the product’s status as a primary altcoin for institutional investors.

Meanwhile, the Ripple-associated coin may also be trending because of its underperforming price. At press time, XRP traded at $2.05, with a 0.89% rally within the last 24 hours.

Shiba Inu price is holding its yearly low while recording a sudden 1,000% surge in burn rate, raising the possibility of a reversal forming at a major support level.

Summary

Sentiment is mixed as SHIB stabilises at a critical long-term level
Burn-rate spike creates renewed discussion around supply-driven momentum
Market participants are watching for signs of early accumulation

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is trading at one of its most critical price levels of the year as it continues to defend the yearly low. The asset has returned to a long-standing support zone while on-chain data shows a dramatic increase in token burns.

With Shiba Inu also rolling out a new debit card that allows users to spend SHIB and earn rewards, these developments are creating early signals that a potential reversal may be forming if the current structure holds.

Shiba Inu price key technical points:

SHIB is trading directly on the yearly low, a long-term support level
Candle closes above support suggest demand is still present
Burn rate has surged over 1,000% in the past 24 hours

SHIBUSDT (1W) Chart, Source: TradingView
Shiba Inu’s current price action places the asset at a high-importance technical point, as the yearly low now acts as the primary support level. This region, classified as a weak low due to the sharp wick that originally formed it, has been retested with price continuing to close above it.

This behaviour indicates that demand remains active in the market, with buyers attempting to defend this major level.

From a structural standpoint, the yearly low aligns with a key monthly support that has held for an extended period. The retest taking place now is significant because price is interacting with the same zone that previously halted a major decline. When markets revisit these long-term support levels and begin printing multiple candle closes above them, it often signals that a stabilisation phase is underway.

Another important factor is the notable rise in Shiba Inu’s burn rate. According to data from Shibburn, the burn rate has surged by more than 1,000% within the last 24 hours. A spike of this magnitude reduces circulating supply and can act as a catalyst for momentum shifts when combined with strong technical support.

While a high burn rate alone does not guarantee a reversal, the combination of supply reduction and structural defence strengthens the case for a potential bounce.

The overall setup suggests that, as long as the yearly low remains intact, Shiba Inu may attempt a rotation toward higher technical levels such as the point of control and nearby resistance zones. However, failure to maintain support would invalidate the scenario and expose SHIB to deeper downside.

What to expect in the coming price action
If SHIB continues to hold the yearly low, a rebound toward the point of control and upper range levels may develop. A breakdown of this key support, however, would place the asset at risk of exploring new lows for 2025.

Bitcoin’s six-week collapse has erased over $40,000 from its price, yet—according to Jeff Park, CIO at ProCap BTC and Bitwise advisor—the more important story may lie not in spot markets but in volatility.

In his November 22 Substack post “Where Does Bitcoin Go From Here?”, Park argues that “market structure has flipped sharply negative,” citing ETF outflows, the Coinbase discount, structural selling, and liquidations of over-levered longs. But beneath that surface stress, he says, “something in the structure of Bitcoin’s volatility markets is stirring again—something that looks more like the old Bitcoin, not the new one.”

Sudden Twist In Bitcoin Skew Has Expert On High Alert
For nearly two years, the consensus has been that the ETF era “tamed Bitcoin” and “crushed volatility.” Spot ETFs channeled institutional flows into volatility-muting structures, dampening the wild swings that once defined BTC. Yet Park notes that over the last 60 days, implied volatility (IV) has trended higher for the first time in 2025. Even more telling: IV kept rising while spot fell—an uncommon dynamic since ETFs launched. That, he says, “might be the first signal of a regime shift” back toward pre-ETF market behavior.

Historical context sharpens his point. Between 2021 and 2022, IV spiked repeatedly—156% during China’s mining ban, 114% in the Luna/UST collapse, and again in the 3AC and FTX crises. Since FTX, volatility “has never traded above 80%,” and vol-of-vol (the “velocity” of volatility itself) has remained below 100, a post-ETF pattern of subdued convexity. But the latest upward drift, Park argues, suggests that the “convex, breakaway vol behavior” that once defined Bitcoin could be re-emerging.

That shift carries structural implications. During past crises, put skew widened sharply, reaching –25%. But Park highlights an opposite kind of stress test—January 2021—when call skew surged above +50% and triggered Bitcoin’s last “mega-gamma squeeze.” Dealers short call gamma were forced to buy spot into a rising market, pushing BTC from $20,000 to $40,000 in weeks. It was, he recalls, “the first time Deribit saw record retail flows as traders discovered the power of OTM calls.”

Today’s skew data looks different but potentially telling. “The 30-day put skew is the lowest it has been all year,” Park writes, suggesting defensive premiums are elevated and “further volatility to the downside is not unwarranted.” Yet Deribit’s open interest shows a market still leaning bullish in notional terms.

As of November 22, the largest positions include roughly $1 billion in Dec 26 $85k puts, $950 million in $140k calls, and $720 million in $200k calls—more upside than downside exposure overall. Similarly, the largest IBIT options are “more calls than puts, and the range of strikes are more OTM than the puts.”

Park’s broader thesis is that volatility itself may again become Bitcoin’s catalyst. He draws parallels to February–March 2024, when sustained ETF inflows and a steady vol bid preceded a dramatic melt-up. “Wall Street needs high volatility for Bitcoin to be interesting,” he writes, noting that institutional desks chase trend P&L into year-end, and “volatility is a reflexive machine.”

Whether that machine is restarting remains uncertain. Park concludes that if spot continues to fall while IV climbs, “the case strengthens that a sharp upside reversal could materialize.” But if vol stalls or slips as price declines—“classic sticky-delta behavior”—then the drawdown may harden into “the early contours of a potential bear trend.”

In essence, Park’s message is that Bitcoin’s most revealing signal isn’t price but structure. After two years of ETF-driven calm, volatility is moving again—and in Bitcoin’s history, when vol wakes up, price rarely stays still for long.

At press time, BTC traded at $85,912.

Bitcoin surges 8% from $81K low as Fed rate cut odds jump to 67% for December meeting.
Chair Powell may override divided Fed officials to push through 25 basis point rate reduction.

With​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ the market speculating a Fed rate cut in December, Bitcoin has rallied by more than 8% since it went down below $81,000 on Friday. According to Barclays Research, there is disagreement among Fed officials about the future of monetary policy. Moreover, Chair Jerome Powell might signal another 25 basis point ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌cut.

Powell Could Tip the Scales Toward Rate Reduction
It​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ looks like,Federal officials are quite divided on the issue of monetary policy direction. It has been reported that governors Stephen Miran, Michelle Bowman, and Christopher Waller are in favor of loosening rates at the meeting in December. On the other hand, President of the St. Louis Fed, Alberto Musalem and President of the Kansas City Fed, Jeffrey Schmid are inclined to keep the current range of 3.75-4% without any further changes. 

Vice Chair Michael Barr, Philip Jefferson, Austan Goolsbee of Chicago, and Susan Collins of Boston are all quite uncertain about the matter and are slightly inclined to suggest holding the rates at their current level. In the meantime, Lisa Cook and John Williams are waiting for the economic data to come in and seem to be agreeable to another rate cut if the situation requires ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌it.

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ CME FedWatch tool is currently indicating a 67% chance of a rate cut in December, which is a significant reversal from the 33% probability that was estimated right after Fed Williams’ remarks. According to Nick Timiraos, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, if there is a rate reduction, Powell will have to be very vocal about it and persuade the rest of the committee to go along with the decision since they will be divided. 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed worries about inflation and recession after recent increases in the service economy said the increases had nothing to do with imported goods or tariffs.

Bitcoin​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ is trading close to $86,700 after it had made its 24-hour high at $88,038. The trading volume has been increased by 45% during this time. An analyst named Michael van de Poppe has located a CME gap at $85,200 and, therefore, he is expecting a Bitcoin short-term drop of a few hours or days before the latter will resume its upward trend and reach $90,000-$96,000 to establish support.

Another​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ weekly close of more than $86,000, according to Rekt Capital, may give Bitcoin the power to go to $93,000, however, if there is a rejection at that level, the prices could be trapped for a while. The revival momentum may be kept alive by the interaction of positive forces like spot Bitcoin ETFs, whale accumulation, and call options buying until the end of trading ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌year.

options market is swinging heavily toward bears, with the $80,000 put now emerging as the most popular contract on Deribit.

The put option holds over $2 billion in open interest, surpassing the $85,000 put at $1.97 billion.

The once-dominant $140,000 call has seen its open interest drop to $1.56 billion, as per Deribit data. The rise in put demand indicates that investors expect Bitcoin to crash below $80,000.

Stronger Setup for a Rally
On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows clear capitulation among short-term holders. If this is a standard correction, current levels could form a bottom.

However, if a bear cycle is beginning, the decline may continue. The critical level remains $80,000 and falling below it increases the chances of a crypto winter.

Swissblock added that, historically, Bitcoin tends to experience another momentum-driven drop to clear liquidity pockets in the $80,000 to $82,000 region.

They argue that such a move would create the strongest setup for a larger push upward.

Historically speaking, we would expect another lower momentum drop to take out the $80 to $82k liquidity clusters.

This will be the strongest setup for a larger move up. https://t.co/SVJRTjFs0W

Meanwhile, analyst Ted Pillows warned that failure to reclaim the $88,000 to $90,000 range soon may open the door to fresh monthly lows.

On the other hand, CryptoQuant analysts revealed that the sSOPR metric has been forming a nearly two-year convergence, now rebounding off its lower boundary.

They note that Bitcoin has not yet experienced a true bullish rally in this cycle due to ETF-driven delays and large-scale accumulation.

With that accumulation phase nearing its end, they believe a new uptrend is beginning to take shape.

Although the market remains in the state of “Extreme Fear” with Fear and Greed Index reading 12, analysts also agree that a catastrophic drop of 70% or more seen in previous bear markets is unlikely to happen this cycle.

ETF Capitulation Intensifies Market Stress
The 11 US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs processed more than $40.32 billion in cumulative volume last week.

BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for nearly 70% of the total, with $27.79 billion traded during the week and $8 billion on Friday alone.

At the same time, Bitcoin has dropped 23% in the past month to $86,700, briefly falling to nearly $80,000 on some exchanges.

TL;DR

Threats from AI-driven cyberattacks will force institutions to migrate to decentralized blockchain networks.
The influencer projects that XRP will be the main beneficiary, capturing up to half of Bitcoin ETF flows.
The imminent arrival of Franklin Templeton and Grayscale’s XRP Spot ETFs in November 2025 will mark a turning point.

Futuristic and bold was the vision of Robert Doyle, a crypto influencer who recently declared that governments and institutions worldwide will have no choice but to adopt XRP and other digital assets. Doyle centers his argument on survival, asserting that the growing threat of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will make traditional centralized systems unsustainable.

The influencer argues that constant AI-driven attacks, such as the first documented cyberattack without a human operator on November 13, 2025, leave centralized systems dangerously exposed.

Doyle asserts that any centralized structure represents a single point of failure, and legacy systems have become fragile, considering that approximately 80% of data leaks come from internal misuse.

Other analysts agree with Doyle that the only way to ensure long-term security and resilience for critical data, from medical records to legal documents, is to migrate to the blockchain. Decentralization is presented as the inherent solution to the risks of centralization.

The Forced Global Adoption of XRP and the Delayed Crypto Cycle
Doyle links this inevitable migration to the future of Bitcoin and the current market cycle. He believes that macroeconomic pressures, such as high interest rates and the extended maturity profile of US debt, are delaying the next market peak until 2026.

Criticism of the pioneering crypto is nothing new, and Doyle points out concerns about its privacy (citing Ray Dalio) and the threat of quantum attacks. Recently, asset managers like VanEck have raised the possibility of moving away from Bitcoin if its fundamentals weaken, which gives relevance to privacy-focused coins like Zcash.

However, the asset Doyle positions as the biggest winner in this transition is XRP. The influencer presented simulations revealing that XRP ETFs could capture up to half of Bitcoin ETF inflows, potentially absorbing all circulating XRP within two years.

This is because growing institutional demand, combined with decreasing direct sales by Ripple, will force large issuers like BlackRock and Fidelity to buy XRP on open markets, making the forced global adoption of XRP effective.

For Doyle, the key date is November 24, 2025, when, according to his projections, Franklin Templeton and Grayscale’s XRP Spot ETFs will go live. The expert categorically summarizes his position: “The whole world will be forced to use XRP and other cryptocurrencies as we enter this new digital phase,” insisting that blockchain will be the anchor of global trade, finance, and data.

Banking giant Deutsche Bank has outlined the key reasons behind the precipitous crash of Bitcoin.

The financial behemoth has attributed the flagship cryptocurrency's rapid slide to a combination of macroeconomic factors, regulatory uncertainty, and cryptocurrency investor behavior. 

Five key reasons Unsurprisingly, risk-off sentiment has been cited as the key reason behind Bitcoin's weakness. The leading cryptocurrency is currently trading like a tech stock instead of being an independent store of value.

The macro environment also appears to be particularly bleak for risk assets now that the odds of implementing a December rate cut have plunged. On Nov. 20, there was just a 22% chance of the Fed reducing the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points. The odds have now recovered to 75%, but this particular prediction market remains rather volatile. New York Fed President John Williams recently spoke in favor of loosening monetary policy.

On the regulatory front, Bitcoin (as well as the broader cryptocurrency sector) has been plagued by the Senate delaying its work on crypto legislation, including the much-talked-about CLARITY Act. Moreover, there are some disagreements between the Democrats and the Republicans regarding the content of the bill. If the bill does not see any traction soon, it might end up losing momentum and die.

There are also some sector-specific factors, such as institutional outflows and long-term holders taking profits.

Bitcoin joining goldEarlier this year, Deutsche Bank predicted that Bitcoin could end up joining gold on central bank balance sheets. 

The banking behemoth predicted that BTC's volatility would eventually decline due to growing institutional adoption. 

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has triggered five major sell signals in the past month, amplifying concerns that a deeper correction may still be unfolding.

What Happened: Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted technical indicators flashing warning signs:

The monthly MACD has turned bearish for the first time since January 2022. The last three bearish flips led to average drawdowns of ~60%, which, if repeated, could pull BTC toward the $40,000 region.
A death cross has appeared on the daily chart as the 50-day SMA crossed below the 200-day SMA. Over the past year, similar crosses marked local bottoms, but during 2022 they foreshadowed a full bear market, leaving traders uncertain about which outcome lies ahead.
Bitcoin has fallen below the 50-week SMA. Historically, breaks of this level have preceded deep market declines, including a 66% drawdown the last time this support failed.
The SuperTrend indicator on the weekly timeframe has flipped bearish. This signal has reliably identified major trend reversals for more than a decade and often aligns with sizeable corrections.
The bi-monthly TD Sequential has flashed a sell signal. The last two instances were followed by 78% and 32% drawdowns, respectively.
Martinez added that if Bitcoin extends its decline, the crucial support zones to monitor lie at $75,740, $56,160, and $52,820.

Why It Matters: In a separate post, Martinez warned that crypto market inflows have collapsed from $86 billion to just $10 billion over the past three months, signaling a sharp slowdown in demand.

At the same time, Bitcoin has entered extreme oversold territory on the RSI.

Historically, BTC has staged relief rallies shortly after hitting this zone, suggesting the potential for a rebound even in a broader downtrend.

U.S. and Japanese financial leaders are eyeing Ripple as a bridge for cross-border growth. SBI CEO Yoshitaka Kitao revealed that his group holds a massive 9% stake in Ripple, leaving U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent visibly shocked.

With Japan already using Ripple’s technology in banks and remittances, both countries are now exploring stablecoins and next-gen payment systems to boost cross-border investments and liquidity.

Bessent Shocked About SBI’s 9% Holding in RippleDuring SBI’s latest earnings call, CEO Yoshitaka Kitao told U.S. counterparts that SBI Group is the largest external shareholder in Ripple, holding about 9% of Ripple Labs. 

When Bessent heard the 9% figure, he was shocked and said, “That’s huge,” showing that U.S. officials clearly understand Ripple’s influence in Asia.

Japan already uses Ripple’s technology in banks and remittance companies through SBI Ripple Asia. Kitao believes this network can act as a bridge for U.S. companies and investors entering Asian markets, making payments faster, cheaper, and more reliable.

🚨SBI CEO Mr. Kitao & U.S. Treasury @SecScottBessent had discussions about @Ripple & how Japan can help boost US economy via financial services. When Scott was told SBI holds 9% of Ripple, Bessent said, “That’s huge.” JV talks, liquidity & stablecoins – all on the table.$XRP… pic.twitter.com/h5tWwgjdt8

— 🌸Crypto Eri ~ Carpe Diem (@sentosumosaba) November 24, 2025 Why the U.S. Treasury Is Suddenly Interested?Bessent’s recent meetings with Japanese officials have focused on bringing Japan’s “strategic investment” into the United States through trade and investment agreements and capital-market partnerships.

But for this plan to work smoothly, cross-border payments and liquidity systems need to be faster and more efficient, and this is where Ripple’s technology fits in.

Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity removes the need for banks to lock large sums of money in nostro/vostro accounts, freeing billions that can be used for investment instead.

With quicker and cheaper payment systems, Japanese banks can move funds into U.S. assets without delays or heavy costs, which supports the Treasury’s long-term growth strategy.

Liquidity and Stablecoins “On the Table”SBI and Ripple have already signed a memorandum of understanding to support the distribution of Ripple’s dollar stablecoin (RLUSD) in Japan.

Around the same time, U.S. Treasury advisor Bessent started promoting stablecoins as a key tool to increase global demand for the U.S. dollar, expecting the stablecoin market to grow to $3 trillion in the future.

This stance makes it natural for U.S. Treasury officials to look at partnerships between American and Japanese banks. 

With Ripple’s technology, these banks could create a system where stablecoins and tokenized U.S. Treasuries move smoothly across borders.

Bitcoin and Ethereum were hit hard during the recent pullback.

Key Takeaways

XRP experienced notable inflows of $89 million last week despite large-scale market outflows.
Digital asset investment products faced $1.9 billion in outflows, the third-largest run since 2018.

XRP was one of the few major digital assets to record net inflows last week. CoinShares Research reported that around $89 million moved into XRP investment products, while most other large-cap tokens experienced heavy withdrawals.

Still, XRP’s positive flow was insufficient to offset losses on other digital assets. Digital asset investment products experienced large-scale outflows totaling $1.9 billion last week, marking a four-week cumulative outflow of $4.9 billion, one of the largest since 2018.

Bitcoin saw the majority of outflows totaling $1.3 billion last week, but also recorded the largest rebound on Friday with $225 million in inflows.

Ethereum saw outflows totaling $589 million, representing 7.3% of assets under management, while Solana saw outflows of $156 million.

The SUI price is testing a major long-term support zone after a steep decline this year, despite many network growth metrics being affected. However, some metric still signals a contrasting trend, which could help SUI reclaim its lost throne. With total accounts rising over 900% YTD, the SUI crypto ecosystem shows strong underlying activity. This divergence creates a tense setup for traders evaluating the next phase of the SUI price chart.

SUI Price Tracks 900% Surge in Network Accounts Despite Market WeaknessOne of the most surprising developments this year is the dramatic rise in total accounts on the Sui network. According to recent on-chain data, accounts surged from 26 million to 230 million YTD this marking more than 900% growth. Such acceleration highlights user activity continuing to expand even as price trends weaken.

Yet, the SUI price today tells a very different story. After hitting a high of $5.37 in January 2025, SUI collapsed more than 70%, creating a sharp disconnect between adoption and valuation. This decline also contributed to a significant weekly breakdown from a large symmetrical triangle pattern that had formed earlier in the year.

SUI Price Weakens as TVL and Stablecoin Market Cap Decline SharplyThe price drop in Q4 triggered notable damage across Sui’s DeFi landscape. Total Value Locked (TVL) fell from $2.63 billion to $947.25 million, marking a substantial contraction. Likewise, stablecoin market cap on the network dropped from $1.186 billion to $657.16 million, underscoring the deeper impact of market weakness.

These declines reflect how strongly the price correction affected Sui ecosystem liquidity. Still, the SUI price USD currently trades at $1.37, positioning itself right at a long-term ascending trendline that has historically initiated massive reversals.

SUI Price Reaches Long-Term Trendline with Historical Rebound PotentialWhile the recent losses are steep, the retest of the ascending trendline is one of the most important technical events for Sui this year. In past cycles, this same trendline produced 450% and 750% rallies. Using a conservative midpoint, analysts estimate that a 500% upside could follow if this structure holds.

A breakout of this magnitude would push the SUI price toward its previous all-time high at $5.37 and potentially extend toward the $8.50 region. However, such a move depends heavily on the trendline holding through December 2025, setting up 2026 as a possible recovery phase.
On the contrary, if support holds, SUI may ignite a reversal in early 2026, while a breakdown could expose the $0.60 zone.

BitMine Immersion Technology (BMNR), the largest Ethereum treasury company, continued increasing its ether ETH$2,805.43 holdings to now holding 3% of the second-largest cryptocurrency supply despite increasing headwinds for digital asset treasury firms amid plunging crypto prices.

The firm chaired by well-known investor Tom Lee reported Monday that it acquired 69,822 tokens over the past week, worth around $195 million at current prices, bringing its holdings to 3.63 million tokens.

The purchase comes alongside a jump in BitMine’s unencumbered cash holdings, which rose to $800 million, up $193 million from the previous week. In total, the firm now holds $11.2 billion in combined crypto, cash and other investments. That includes a small stake in Eightco Holdings (ORBS) and 192 bitcoin BTC$86,114.81.

The firm's shares were up 4.3% pre-market alongside ETH and crypto prices rebounding from last week's lows. Still, BMNR declined 23% last week and is down over 80% from its peak in July.

Digital asset treasuries, or DATs, are facing pressure as many firms' stock price have fallen below the net asset value of the underlying holdings. Most DATs have stopped increasing their assets over the past weeks, while some of them have already started selling a part of their holdings to buy back shares.

BitMine remained one of the companies that kept increasing their crypto stash. However, the firm is deeply in the red on its crypto bet, sitting on roughly $4 billion unrealized losses as ether plunged nearly 40% from its August peak amid the ongoing crypto correction.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has made a profound statement about the first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin, saying it will stand the test of time.

"Bitcoin will resist to the test of time," Ardoino said, adding that Bitcoin will outlive its detractors.

"Those organizations that try to undermine it, will fail and become dust.Simply because they can't stop people choice to be free," the Tether CEO said.

Those organizations that try to undermine it, will fail and become dust.
Simply because they can't stop people choice to be free.

— Paolo Ardoino 🤖 (@paoloardoino) November 24, 2025 Bitcoin celebrated its 16th anniversary in January this year. In its years of existence, it has suffered its fair share of criticism and ill will. Crypto skeptics have been calling for Bitcoin’s end pretty much for as long as it has existed, and yet it continues to climb and surpass expectations.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is probably one of the most vocal Bitcoin critics, calling the asset a scam on multiple occasions. But as his bank experiments with digital asset ledgers, Dimon has come around to the underlying technology while recently acknowledging that crypto, blockchain and stablecoins are "real."

After publishing an article in early 2020 stating that "Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are not an asset class," major investment bank Goldman Sachs has since made a U-turn, reengaging in crypto assets, while increasing its Bitcoin exposure.

Bitcoin stands test of timeThe Tether CEO's comments come at a time when the crypto market is facing a price drop amid concerns about quantum computing growing.

Bitcoin rose to an time high of $126,251 in early October, driven partly by massive inflows into exchange-traded funds. Then came a market crash sparked by massive liquidations in leveraged bets that sent Bitcoin tumbling.

At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $86,107, up from Friday's low of $80,524.

Quantum computing has raised concerns about Bitcoin's future; although Bitcoin already has some built-in quantum resistance, some fear that powerful machines could one day compromise its security.
