The wallets, identified by their opening identifiers “0x27” and “0x7f,” were established 3,630 days ago, coinciding with the mainnet launch of the Ethereum blockchain on July 30, 2015. This launch phase is often referred to as the “Frontier” in Ethereum’s history. The initial Ether (ETH) funding of both wallets came from transactions tagged as “GENESIS” on Etherscan, indicating they were capitalized at the inception of Ethereum.

Originally, Ethereum operated on a proof-of-work blockchain model, akin to the Bitcoin network, complete with traditional mining and block rewards. However, in September 2022, it shifted to a proof-of-stake mechanism during The Merge, a move designed to decrease the energy consumption of the network. TradingView reports that in the nearly ten years these wallets were inactive, ETH has seen an appreciation of 89,450%.

Recently, there has been a surge in dormant whale wallets becoming active. On the last Friday, three Bitcoin (BTC) wallets, inactive for 14 years, woke up and moved billions of dollars’ worth of funds. In 2024, dormant wallets from the Satoshi-era of Bitcoin came back to life, transferring coins valued at nearly $44 million at that time.

Ethereum’s latest update, Pectra, has introduced smart accounts, enhanced scalability, and increased staking limits to its ecosystem. The Pectra upgrade was initiated by Ethereum developers on May 7, and since then, the price of ETH has risen from $1,812 to $2,540, as per CoinMarketCap data.

More developments are on the horizon for Ethereum. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and researcher Toni Wahrstätter recently proposed a gas cap of 16.77 million for singular transactions. The authors argue that this limit would improve Ethereum’s performance and security, increase network stability and make transaction processing costs more predictable.

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) stated unequivocally that the country’s golden visa issuance does not extend to digital currency investors. The visas are strictly allotted within specific frameworks, mainly for “real estate investors, entrepreneurs, exceptional talents, scientists and specialists, top students and graduates, humanitarian pioneers, and frontline workers.”

In response to TON’s announcement of a program offering UAE Golden Visas through a $100,000 staking of TON tokens for three years, along with a $35,000 processing fee, VARA made it clear that TON is neither licensed nor regulated by the authorities.

The SCA reinforced its dedication to global financial sector regulation standards, stressing that “digital currency investments are governed by specific regulations and are unrelated to golden visa eligibility.”

The three authorities encouraged the public to exercise prudence and to rely on official government websites for accurate visa requirement information. They also cautioned against engaging with unauthenticated advertisements or offers circulating on the internet.

It’s worth noting that TON did not claim to partner with the UAE government. The program is essentially a third-party service utilizing TON’s token, Toncoin, to aid customer qualification.

Following the program’s initial announcement, Toncoin surged 13% to over $3, but fell to $2.8 after the authorities’ clarification, according to TradingView data.

Renowned crypto analyst MIRZA, in a recent TradingView post, raised the possibility of a significant Bitcoin crash that could further destabilize the market. He highlights the increasing vulnerability of Bitcoin and the emergence of bearish patterns on its price chart.

One key bearish progression was Bitcoin’s failure to rise beyond $111,000, despite being close last week. This resistance level coincides with the previous all-time high, indicating that the digital asset lacks the power necessary for continued growth. This lack of momentum resulted in a decline towards the $103,000 mark as bears regained control.

This pessimistic decline implies the formation of a potential double top or a lower high structure – both negative indicators suggesting the end of an upward trend. MIRZA anticipates a liquidity grab at lower levels, with a potential crash of over 15%, pushing it under $90,000 and possibly as low as $85,000 before finding a bottom.

However, not all hope is lost. If Bitcoin manages to rise above $107,000 and maintain it, the upward trend might still continue. Another analyst, RLinda, echoes this sentiment, suggesting that Bitcoin could range between $102,500 and $106,200 for some time before deciding its direction.

On-chain analyst “nino”, through CryptoQuant’s QuickTake platform, has shared insights that point towards the potential for Bitcoin’s resurgence. According to the analyst, Bitcoin seems to be following a funding rate pattern that has previously led to price recoveries. The data reveals Bitcoin’s funding rate briefly dipping into negative before initiating an upward swing, which has historically corresponded with price rallies.

Nino’s analysis implies that this pattern, particularly the 72-hour moving averages moving out of the oversold zone and forming a yellow-blue-black signal, may trigger a wave of short position liquidations. The funding rate, still below levels usually tied to bullish sentiment, suggests traders are not yet overly optimistic, leaving room for further price improvement without immediate overheating.

The analyst’s findings focus on market structure and derivative sentiment, underlining how positioning in perpetual futures markets could precede significant spot price shifts. When funding rates turn negative and then start to increase, they often reflect traders unwinding bearish bets made at high leverage. The resulting buy pressure can act as a short-term catalyst, a scenario that has played out multiple times in 2025.

In separate commentary, CryptoQuant analyst Burak Kesmeci discussed structural changes in spot trading liquidity, particularly concerning Binance’s share of international trading volume. Kesmeci stated that Binance’s dominance is a crucial indicator of institutional participation and overall market health. An increase in Binance’s spot volume share often signals better liquidity and smoother price discovery. However, a drop below 30% could indicate a shift towards more “fragmented liquidity” across exchanges. Currently, Binance’s volume share is recovering, suggesting a relatively stable trading environment.

Babenski, in a TradingView update, noted that the XRP value is creating a petite flag pattern above a significant past accumulation region. According to him, this condition indicates an imminent breakout. His accompanying analysis suggests that the altcoin could potentially skyrocket to a remarkable $5 mark, setting a new ATH.

Another crypto analyst, Dark Defender, also forecasted that XRP might surge beyond $5 during the 5th wave of the ascending move. The analyst pointed out that since January 17th, the altcoin has been on a downward trend, but its support level is strengthening. Along these lines, an intersection is currently visible. Dark Defender predicted that XRP would make a decisive move within a fortnight.

Dark Defender’s analysis further suggests that XRP could reach up to $5.8563 with this upward move. In a subsequent post, he confirmed that the altcoin is already en route to a new ATH. Egrag Crypto, another analyst, echoed this notion by indicating that XRP is at a crucial point and could make a significant move soon.

In his latest analysis, Egrag Crypto stated that XRP is at a critical crossroads with a major formation breakout. The analyst predicts a 70-80% chance for an upward breakout and a 20-30% chance for a downward move. He believes that this breakout will be catalyzed by some significant news and that the chart suggests this news is imminent. He expects the fundamentals to be robust enough to pierce through key resistance levels.

In a post, crypto analyst CasiTrades expressed that XRP price is about to get thrilling. She noticed that the entire consolidation structure is nearing its end. With the price at a standstill and momentum stagnant, she believes that this is precisely how substantial market moves originate.

CasiTrades identified subwave 2 extensions from the recent local low. If this was indeed the Wave 2 bottom, then the measured extension projects upside targets. These targets align in the $8 to $13 macro zone, which she has been highlighting for over a year. This rare alignment across structure, time, and Fibonacci extensions is why she insists that everyone should be macro bullish on XRP.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at approximately $2.29, down in the last 24 hours, as per CoinMarketCap data.

The price of XRP has fallen 18% below its May peak of $2.65, and a combination of several indicators points towards a possible decrease to around $1.70. The inverted V-shaped pattern formed between April 7 and June 2 predicts a 20% price drop.

After an initial climb, XRP’s price surged 62% from a low of $1.61, but buyer congestion halted the sharp recovery at the $1.72 resistance level. Bears took profits during this rally, leading to a notable correction to the current levels. The relative strength index (RSI) has dropped from 68 to 41 since May 12, indicating a growing downward momentum.

A popular TradingView analyst, MasterAnanda, aligned with these sentiments, stating that decreasing bullish momentum and rejection from key support areas potentially threaten a drop to below $2.00 for XRP. He noted that XRP has broken below a rising channel, with three consecutive daily closes beneath the lower trendline, which suggests continued bearish momentum.

The bearish divergence between XRP’s price and the RSI is further reinforced by the daily chart, which shows a rise in the XRPUSD pair from November 2024 to June 2025, but a simultaneous decrease in its weekly RSI from 92 to 51.

The XRP Ledger has seen a significant decline in network activity over the past two months. Glassnode’s onchain data reveals that the daily active addresses (DAAs) are far below the peak recorded on March 19. With only about 31,200 DAAs currently, user transactions have significantly decreased, possibly indicating a lack of confidence in XRP’s short-term outlook.

A recent technical review from analyst MasterAnanda on TradingView underscores the prevailing bearish sentiment. The chart accompanying the analysis reveals XRP’s fall from a rising channel, marked by three successive daily closures below the bottom trendline. The consecutive red days have refuted the formation of an upward rebound on the lower trendline. Despite XRP currently trading above $2, the longer it remains beneath the $2.30 zone, the more probable a drastic fall becomes.

MasterAnanda’s TradingView analysis concedes that while XRP seems ripe for a bounce back, the underlying indicators tell a contrasting narrative. “XRPUSDT appears set for recovery at any moment, but the correction may not be over,” the analyst observed. Interestingly, despite the ongoing fall, the bearish volume has remained relatively low. This indicates that the sell-off might not be too forceful, but also unopposed. This low-volume pullback implies the market is sliding due to a scarcity of buyers rather than extreme selling pressure. However, the analyst points out that XRP is yet to find a robust support level.

While the short-term outlook might seem disheartening, MasterAnanda remains confident about XRP’s bullish long-term trajectory. Nevertheless, the Fibonacci retracement levels on the chart indicate that the price has already breached the 0.382 zone and is currently hovering near the 0.236 line at $2.035. Below that, the critical area to monitor is the low near $1.75, which aligns with the analyst’s forecasted support zone.

If XRP fails to maintain above $2.00, it could potentially slide towards that higher low. A red arrow on the daily candlestick timeframe chart indicates the path of this decline. Hence, XRP traders should be prepared for a significant downside unless a robust reversal occurs before the crypto dips below $2. As it stands, the bearish sentiment surrounding XRP is progressively strengthening. If this correction remains uncontrolled, a retest of the $1.70 to $1.80 range might arrive sooner than anticipated. As of this writing, XRP is trading at $2.13, falling by 3.85% in the past 24 hours and 8.9% in the past week.

According to market analysis, a deeper pullback could be on the horizon before the bulls regain momentum for price discovery. The current resistance is predominantly due to profit-taking.

Bitcoin is vulnerable to a “deeper correction” as the next stage of its bull market could face a brief interruption. Analysts warn of prices falling below $100,000 as data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows an 8% drop in BTCUSD.

Bitcoin went below its old peak levels on May 31 as the latest correction approaches nearly $9,000 below its recent record high. After experiencing resistance from various sources, onchain indicators suggest a slowdown in bullish momentum.

A recent research report by onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant indicates that “some of Bitcoin’s demand metrics may be reaching a short-term top, which could hint at a pause in the current rally.”

The report mentions that “CryptoQuant’s estimate of Bitcoin’s demand growth in the last 30 days is at 229K, which is near the previous demand growth top of 279K Bitcoin reached in December 2024.” Notably, whale-held Bitcoin balances have increased by 2.8% over the past month, a rate frequently preceding a slowdown in whale accumulation.

CryptoQuant further states that unrealized profits were, on average, over 30% at $111,000, suggesting an imminent pause.

Despite maintaining a bullish outlook on a return to price discovery, market participants anticipate lower levels first. Popular trader Mags highlights the importance of the upcoming weekly candle close as a critical test of the bulls’ strength. If Bitcoin fails to retake the old record close at $104,450 from December 2024 on weekly timeframes, a “deeper pullback” may be in the offing.

Trader and analyst Aksel Kibar concurs that the bull market’s return “might be delayed.” He remains confident about the bullish interpretation as long as the price stays above 73.7K.

Amidst these developments, CryptoQuant sees the price possibly halting at $120,000, a key profit-taking station. However, it is essential for investors and traders to conduct their own research as every investment and trading move involves risks.

Just recently, a pseudonymous analyst, TradingShot, posted on TradingView, a prominent crypto data platform, pointing out an intriguing pattern that Bitcoin has been following since its low point on April 07. TradingShot noted that since Bitcoin hit rock-bottom at $74,500, it has been steadily advancing through all 10k intervals, from $74,000 to $84,000, $94,000, and currently hovers around the $104,000 mark.

Upon reaching these price milestones, Bitcoin has been experiencing a phase of price consolidation, forming what TradingShot describes as a “structured Channel Up”. Although this “Channel Up” may not be sustained in the long-term, its current consistency implies that Bitcoin could potentially target price levels beyond the $100,000 mark, with pivotal price points at $114,000, $124,000, and $134,000.

“If this pattern maintains its consistency as it has since hitting the low point, then we might witness $134k by late June or early July,” TradingShot noted in his concluding remarks. Despite Bitcoin being slightly off its all-time high of $109,114, Bitcoin bulls have risen by 22.68% over the past 30 days. As of the time of this report, Bitcoin is trading at a current press price of $103,596, with negligible weekly losses of 0.15% and an hourly gain of 0.01%.

It’s important to note that the global cryptocurrency market is trending upwards, with a total market cap valuation of $3.49 trillion and gains in the past 24 hours at 3.97%.
