XRP Whales Sell 470M Tokens in 10 Days, Price Risks Ahead

XRP Whales Sell 470M Tokens in 10 Days, Price Risks Ahead

The post XRP Whales Sell 470M Tokens in 10 Days, Price Risks Ahead appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights  Whales offloaded 470M XRP in 10 days, driving prices below $3 and weakening market structure. Despite losses, 93% of XRP supply remains profitable, raising questions of potential profit-taking pressure. XRP eyes $2.78 support as RSI weakens, while traders await Powell’s Jackson Hole speech. XRP Whales Sell 470M Tokens in 10 Days, Price Risks Ahead Whales holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP tokens have reduced their positions by around 470 million coins in the past 10 days, according to data shared by analyst Ali Martinez. “470 million $XRP sold by whales in the last 10 days!” he noted, pointing to a sharp drop in large-wallet balances. During this period, XRP has fallen to $2.88, with a 24-hour trading volume of $5.79 billion. The token is down 45% in the last 24 hours and 11% over the past week. The decline in whale holdings appears to coincide with price weakness, as XRP struggled to hold above $3.20 and slipped below the $3.00 mark. Profitable Supply Raises Questions of Profit-Taking Despite the recent decline, more than 93% of XRP’s circulating supply remains in profit, according to Santiment data. Since mid-July, holders have enjoyed an average profit margin above 90%, and the metric has not dropped below 80% since last November, when XRP rallied after President Trump’s election victory.  XRP Supply in Profit. Source: Santiment The prolonged high profitability follows the conclusion of Ripple’s legal battle with the US. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and positive regulatory developments under the Trump administration. With most of the supply still in profit, analysts suggest that heavy profit-taking could emerge if the market experiences further bearish shocks. Technical Outlook Weakens XRP fell below several key technical levels in the past 24 hours. The token moved under the lower boundary of a symmetrical triangle…

Bitcoin Price Nears $113,500 Amid a Fresh US Sell-Off

The post Bitcoin Price Nears $113,500 Amid a Fresh US Sell-Off appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key points: Bitcoin selling pressure increases as US stocks dip at the Wall Street open. BTC price almost hits $113,500 as over $100 million in longs gets liquidated in an hour. ETF flows are now key as onchain fundamentals start “weakening.” Bitcoin (BTC) fell to near two-week lows at Tuesday’s Wall Street open as US selling pressure surged. BTC/USD one-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView BTC price action “not a sign of strength” Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD dropping beneath $114,000. Bitcoin and altcoins fell with US stocks, with the Nasdaq Composite Index down 1.2% at the time of writing. Long BTC positions, subject to an ongoing squeeze, added another $116 million to their liquidation tally in an hour. Data from CoinGlass also showed bids lining up around the $112,000 mark — already a point of interest for market participants. BTC liquidation heatmap.

The downward pressure is palpable, but bulls are trying to find their footing.” BTC/USD one-day chart with 50, 100SMA. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView Alan flagged the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) at $110,950 as a potential support barrier, with the 50-day counterpart at $115,875 now important to reclaim. On exchange order books, Material Indicators identified a $25 million band of liquidity at $105,000 — “plunge protection” against a deeper market rout. “This bid liquidity does not look like it aims to get filled. It was placed to heard liquidity upward. If it fails to accomplish that and price reverts, I expect it to get rugged or moved before it gets filled,” it commented alongside a chart of liquidity and whale…

What’s next for Bitcoin price as retail sentiment flips bearish?

What’s next for Bitcoin price as retail sentiment flips bearish?

The post What’s next for Bitcoin price as retail sentiment flips bearish? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin price dips to $113,000, dragging the crypto market lower and pushing retail sentiment to its weakest level in weeks. Summary Crypto market cap slid to $3.8T, with Bitcoin 8.5% off ATH. Derivatives show risk reduction, as volume rises but open interest falls. Retail turns fearful, but whales and ETFs continue to add BTC. Bitcoin’s price (BTC) has slipped to $113,646 at press time, marking a 1.2% daily loss, a 5% decline in the past week, and a 4% drop over 30 days. The move leaves the asset 8.5% below its all-time high of $124,128, reached on Aug. 14. The downturn was mirrored in investor mood, as the Fear & Greed Index dropped 12 points in a single day, from 56 to 44, sliding back into “Fear” territory. Derivatives activity was mixed. 24-hour trading volume rose 6.23% to $83.7 billion, while open interest slipped 0.77% to $80.36 billion, as per Coinglass data. Rising volume alongside falling open interest often suggests short-term churn and position closing, rather than fresh conviction, implying traders are reducing risk while volatility picks up. Sentiment turns negative but Bitcoin whales accumulate According to an Aug. 20 update from Santiment, retail traders have shifted to their most bearish sentiment since June 22, when war concerns triggered widespread selling. Because markets often move against the crowd, analysts pointed out that historically, this kind of pessimism has preceded price recoveries. 😨 Retail traders have done a complete 180 after Bitcoin has failed to rally and dipped below $113K. The past 24 hours have marked the most bearish sentiment seen on social media since the June 22nd fears of war caused a cascade of panic sells. 🩸 Historically, this negative… pic.twitter.com/UYKOpWoOkn — Santiment (@santimentfeed) August 20, 2025 In contrast to retail behavior, large holders remain active.

7 Best Altcoins With 100x Potential — Solana, SHIB and MAGACOIN FINANCE Could Trigger the Next Bull Run

7 Best Altcoins With 100x Potential — Solana, SHIB and MAGACOIN FINANCE Could Trigger the Next Bull Run

The post 7 Best Altcoins With 100x Potential — Solana, SHIB and MAGACOIN FINANCE Could Trigger the Next Bull Run appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency market may be slowing down, but investors and traders are heating up for their search for the best altcoins to buy now. While established leaders battle market volatility, analysts note a number of emerging breakout newcomers are garnering attention. As the market uncertainty wages on, analysts have picked a mix of tokens from Solana, SHIB to MAGACOIN FINANCE as the altcoins with the growth potential that would shape the next cycle. 1. MAGACOIN FINANCE — Top Altcoin for Massive Returns Analysts are hunting for the next 100x altcoin, and the short list includes Solana, SHIB, and MAGACOIN FINANCE. While Solana brings speed and SHIB brings community hype, the project offers exclusivity, momentum, and community-backed growth potential that could light up the next bull run. For early movers, MAGACOIN FINANCE might be the rare 2025 pick that changes portfolios. Analysts stress that scarcity in its supply, combined with rising whale activity, makes it more than just hype—it is a life-defining opportunity. With growing attention, MAGACOIN FINANCE is already earning comparisons with the early days of Shiba Inu and Dogecoin before their big breaks. For smart investors who value timing and preparedness, MAGACOIN FINANCE could be the best altcoin to buy now before prices escalate. 2. Solana (SOL) — Speed and Ecosystem Powerhouse Solana has become a favorite for developers because it’s quick and cheap to use. That speed has helped it win a big share of NFTs and DeFi projects, and many investors believe it still has plenty of room to grow. If momentum picks up, Solana could easily be one of the best long-term altcoins to hold through the next cycle. 3. Shiba Inu (SHIB) — The Meme Coin With Staying Power SHIB is more than just a meme coin—it has proven staying power. With new utility layers…
