A crypto expert on social media platform X has come forward with an interesting outlook for the Bitcoin price, stating that the market leader could be gearing up for its next explosive move. However, the on-chain analyst added that a certain condition must be met for BTC to resume its uptrend.

A Break Above $118,000 Could Precede Price Explosion: Analyst

In a September 13 post on X, Alphractal founder and CEO Joao Wedson revealed that the price of Bitcoin could be preparing for an extended rally over the next few weeks. The on-chain data expert shared that the premier cryptocurrency will need a convincing break above the $118,000 level to confirm the resumption of the bull run.

Wedson noted in his post that $117,000 is actually the price mark to watch out for, as it represents a zone of strong interest and indecision. Specifically, two on-chain indicators—the CVDD Channel and the Fibonacci-Adjusted Market Mean Price—have designated this price level as a point where the market is likely to slow down or form a local top.

According to analytics platform Alphractal, the CVDD Channel is a metric that estimates historical price floors and risk zones based on the coin destruction data and Fibonacci envelopes. Meanwhile, the Fibonacci-Adjusted Market Mean Price combines the market mean price with Fibonacci bands to identify structural expansion and value zones.

Wedson highlighted that both the CVDD Channel and the Fibonacci-Adjusted Market Mean Price have revealed “eerily accurate levels” of support and resistance throughout Bitcoin’s price history. Currently, these metrics are pointing to $117,000 as a level that could provide resistance to the upward movement of the Bitcoin price.

In the end, Wedson concluded that this zone could be critical to the market leader’s next move to the upside. However, the Alphractal founder advised Bitcoin investors to wait for a clear, sustained breakout above $118,000 to confirm that bullish momentum is back.

Bitcoin Price At A Glance

As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $115,905, reflecting no significant change in the past 24 hours.

Crypto analyst Borovik has unveiled his 2026 bullish predictions for the XRP price, Dogecoin, and Solana. This comes as these three altcoins stand out in the ongoing crypto market rally, recording notable gains. 

Analyst Reveals 2026 Prediction For XRP, Dogecoin, and Solana

In an X post, Borovik predicted that the XRP price will rally to $23, Dogecoin to $2, and Solana to $1,800 in 2026. He also made predictions for other major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and TRX. The analyst expects BTC to rally to $896,503, ETH to $35,000, BNB to $7,000, and TRX to $2.7.

However, the analyst didn’t provide any basis for why the XRP price, Dogecoin, Solana, and these other coins could rally to these ambitious targets. Notably, these coins are currently the top 9 largest cryptos by market cap, excluding stablecoins USDT and USDC. These coins are also currently recording notable gains amid the recent crypto market rally. 

The XRP price has reclaimed the psychological $3 level and now looks set to retest higher resistance levels and possibly flip them into support. Dogecoin has also reached its most recent local high of $0.28 and is now looking to hit the $0.30 level. Solana surpassed $240 yesterday, reaching this level for the first time since January. 

Fundamentals have played a role in driving this rally for the XRP price, Dogecoin, and Solana. REX-Osprey is launching the first XRP and DOGE ETFs next week, under the 40 Act. These funds will still provide spot exposure to both altcoins, although they differ from the conventional spot crypto ETFs. REX-Osprey’s funds will help inject new capital into the XRP and DOGE ecosystem, which could serve as a catalyst for higher prices. 

Meanwhile, Solana just saw the launch of a $1.65 billion SOL treasury firm, Forward Industries. The firm completed the private placement earlier this week and immediately began buying SOL through Galaxy Digital, which was one of the investors in the private placement. This has added significant buying pressure on the crypto. 

More Gains Ahead For These Altcoins

The XRP price, Dogecoin, and Solana are still expected to record major gains ahead amid this crypto market rally. Crypto analyst CasiTrades suggested that the consolidation period is over for XRP and that it is set to rally to a new all-time high (ATH). Her accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could rally above $4.60.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that Dogecoin is still in the buy zone and that the bullish breakout will melt faces. His accompanying chart showed that DOGE could rally to as high as $4 if it touches the middle channel of an ascending channel. In a separate analysis, the analyst noted that $1,300 is the primary target for SOL after breaking out of a cup and handle pattern.

Crypto analyst Ash Crypto has revealed when the Bitcoin price is likely to reach $150,000, while Ethereum rallies to $8,000 and the altcoin season begins in full force. This comes as the crypto market looks to rebound, with BTC attempting a successful break above $112,000. 

On Bitcoin Price and Ethereum Rally And Altcoin Season Timeline

In an X post, Ash Crypto declared that the Bitcoin price will rally to $150,000, Ethereum will rally to $8,000, and the altcoin season will happen in the fourth quarter of this year. During that period, he expects altcoins to pump between 10x and 50x. In line with this, he urged market participants to relax and be patient.

In another X post, the analyst stated that the Bitcoin price will likely bottom this month. Ash Crypto remarked that he is expecting BTC to form a low between $94,000 and $100,000, making everyone believe that $124,000 was the top. When that happens, he predicts that the flagship crypto will then record a massive breakout in October and reach between $150,000 and $180,000 by December. 

Crypto analyst Stockmoney also indicated that market participants can expect significant moves from the Bitcoin price and Ethereum in Q4 of this year, while an altcoin season could be on the horizon. In an X post, the analyst stated that BTC is following the same pattern throughout the bull market. 

Based on this, he remarked that impulsive moves happen in the fourth quarter, and this is where most pumps historically occur. Stockmoney noted that these rallies are usually preceded by a longer consolidation period in the form of a falling wedge or bullish megaphone. His accompanying chart showed that the Bitcoin price could reach as high as $180,000 by year-end. 

Altcoin Season May Already Be Starting

Market commentator Milk Road suggested that altcoin season may already be starting, even as the Bitcoin price and Ethereum find their footing. In an X post, Milk Road noted that ETH has outperformed BTC over the last two quarters. ETH is up around 110% in the second and third quarters, while BTC is up 34% during this period.

This represents an over 300% return for Ethereum over the Bitcoin price. In line with this, Milk Road declared that historically, this kind of flipping often marks the start of altcoin season. Blockchain Center data shows that the market is currently closer to altcoin season than Bitcoin season. More altcoins have continued to outperform BTC over the last 90 days. However, 75% of the top 50 coins by market cap still need to outperform BTC for it to be considered officially altcoin season. 

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $112,000, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas said the first US exchange-traded fund linked directly to Dogecoin will debut Thursday, Sept. 11.

In a Sept. 9 update on X, he said Rex-Osprey’s planned DOGE ETF (ticker: DOJE) signals the start of what he described as the “memecoin ETF era.”

Balchunas emphasized the fund’s unusual nature, noting that it would be the first U.S. ETF designed to hold an asset “with no utility on purpose.”

DOJE ETF

This development comes barely a week after Rex-Osprey filed for the ETF product with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The quick turnaround can be linked to the fact that DOJE was registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a strategy that speeds up approval compared with the traditional 19b-4 process required for spot crypto ETFs.

Under this approach, the fund is structured as a C-corporation that provides DOGE exposure through a Cayman Islands subsidiary.

Notably, the same framework was used for its Staking Solana Fund (SSK), giving the firm a track record of navigating the structure.

However, this setup often draws skepticism from some investors who cite concerns about potential double taxation.

Nonetheless, this approach would allow an issuer to move quickly, while rivals might remain in the queue because they apply through the Securities Act of 1933 route.

DOGE treasury firm

The ETF development coincides with a major corporation adopting Dogecoin for its digital asset treasury initiative.

On Sept. 8, CleanCore Solutions, Inc., a company listed on the NYSE American exchange, revealed that it purchased 285.4 million DOGE valued at $68 million. This transaction made CleanCore the largest Dogecoin treasury holder to date.

CleanCore said the purchase is the first stage in a plan to accumulate one billion DOGE within 30 days and ultimately secure 5% of the token’s circulating supply.

The Dogecoin Foundation and its corporate arm, House of Doge, backed the initiative. Their strategy positions DOGE as a digital asset for payments, tokenization projects, staking-style products, and cross-border transfers.

To provide custody and execution for the new treasury, the House of Doge also announced a partnership with Bitstamp USA, which now operates under Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD). Under the agreement, the Official Dogecoin Treasury will be managed on Bitstamp by Robinhood’s platform.

According to the partners, this setup is intended to strengthen transparency and stability while laying the foundation for yield-bearing products that could expand Dogecoin’s role in mainstream finance

XRP has drawn plenty of comparisons over the past few months, but one analyst believes the best way to understand its future is to look at Amazon’s past. Nick Anderson, better known as BULLRUNNERS on the social media platform X, says XRP is going through the same kind of consolidation Amazon faced in 2010, and it still has the potential to rally to $200. The key difference, however, is the patience investors will need before this rally can happen.

Amazon’s Breakout Holds The Clues For XRP

XRP’s price action in the past seven days has been highlighted by a trading range between $2.8 and $2.9. The cryptocurrency now seems stuck within this range, but it has managed to hold above $2.8 for the meantime. Interestingly, Anderson likened this consolidation move to a similar retest of a previous high by the Amazon stock (AMZN) back in 2010. 

In his post, Anderson highlighted how Amazon stock spent roughly 3,800 days consolidating after the dot-com crash before finally breaking past its previous high and entering a meteoric run. However, before entering into this meteoric run, it consolidated for a few months in 2010 just after breaking above its previous high during the dot-com bubble. 

According to Anderson, XRP’s current structure is tracing out a massive cup and handle that mirrors this exact Amazon stock setup, with the cryptocurrency now using past highs as support in the same way Amazon did. Just as Amazon transformed once it cleared resistance, Anderson believes XRP could follow a similar breakout trajectory that could eventually push its price above $100, and possibly as high as $200.

Short-Term Expectations Between $5 And $30

In his assessment, Anderson noted that this predicted rally to $200 might take many years to come to fruition. Comparing today’s price of around $2.80 to Amazon’s $5 launch point before its monumental rally, this would probably be the best time for XRP investors to accumulate for the long term. For younger investors, holding XRP for the next 10 to 15 years could prove transformative, with as little as 10,000 XRP amounting to $1 million in value if the cryptocurrency eventually climbs to $100.

Despite his long-term forecast, Anderson is more cautious about what XRP might achieve this cycle. He stated that while a push to $100 in the near term would be “absolutely insane”, a more realistic target for this bull run could lie between $5 and $30. After that, he expects another correction to set in before the rally resumes sometime around the end of the decade.

Anderson also left room for a more explosive scenario, noting that XRP could deliver what he called a “giga rally” if liquidity rushes into the market faster than expected. This is based on the growing anticipation around the adoption of ISO 20022 by the US Federal Reserve.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.81.

Crypto analyst Costa has made an ultra-bullish prediction for the XRP price, stating that it could reach $473,214. He explained that such a massive price surge could happen thanks to tokenization on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

XRP Price To Reach $473,214 If This Happens

In an X post, Costa predicted that the XRP price would reach $473,214 if 10% of global assets got tokenized onto the XRPL. This followed Ripple’s statement that 10% of global assets are expected to be tokenized by 2030. The analyst expects these assets, which amount to $50 trillion, to be tokenized on the XRP Ledger.

Costa declared that the amount of inflows and utility will most definitely cause the XRP price to skyrocket. He also noted that a potential supply shock will push the altcoin higher. Meanwhile, the analyst alluded to a market cap multiplier to explain how the price increase will happen. He stated that for every 10 billion of inflows, XRP will increase by 516x, moving the altcoin’s market cap to $5.3 trillion. 

Costa then broke down the calculation for how the XRP price would reach $473,214. He divided $50 trillion, which represents 10% of the global assets, by $10 billion, which is the amount he projects as the inflows. The division amounted to $5,000, which he then multiplied by the projected $5.3 trillion market cap, leading to $26.5 quadrillion. 

The analyst noted that dividing the current supply by this will result in an XRP price of $473,000. However, Costa admitted that these projections are simply hypothetical and that there is no 100% guarantee of 10% of the global assets being tokenized on the XRP Ledger. 

XRP Still Expected To Rise Higher

The XRP price is currently on a downtrend, but is still expected to witness a bullish reversal and reach new highs. Crypto analyst Matthew Dixon noted that the price is expected to surge soon above the highs previously recorded this year. He noted XRP’s pattern is currently corrective and should resolve higher, especially with the softening of monetary policy. 

The Fed is expected to make a 25-basis-point (bps) rate cut at the next FOMC meeting, which is bullish for the XRP price. This could inject more liquidity into the altcoin’s ecosystem and serve as the catalyst for the next leg up. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $6 soon enough. However, he warned that the altcoin needs to hold above its current range as it prepares for this major breakout.

The recent debut of the World Liberty Financial token (WLFI) in the cryptocurrency market has generated considerable buzz, despite facing notable price retracements within just 24 hours of trading. 

Despite WLFI’s 25% price retrace in the 24-hour time frame, one market analyst believes that the cryptocurrency has the potential to emerge as this year’s “cult coin,” with significant price potential for the remainder of the bull cycle. 

Could WLFI Soar 330% In 2025?

In a detailed post on X (formerly Twitter), analyst Virtual Bacon drew comparisons to previously called cult coins, such as XRP in 2017 and Dogecoin (DOGE) in 2021, suggesting that WLFI could follow a similar price trajectory in 2025.

The circulating supply of WLFI currently stands at 24.6 billion tokens, with approximately 6.9% actively tradable. A key point raised by Bacon is the transparent unlock schedule for various stakeholder tokens. 

While 20% of the supply is designated for public sale investors and 2.8% is allocated for liquidity and exchanges, the team and investor tokens remain locked. This contrasts with the circumstances surrounding other tokens which experienced a dramatic crash due to a high fully diluted valuation (FDV) and a limited float.

Bacon argues that WLFI’s model is healthier, featuring a fair distribution of liquidity across exchanges and gradual unlocks that mitigate the risks associated with sudden price drops. 

Notably, the analyst’s price target for WLFI is set at $1, which he believes would bring the token’s fully diluted valuation to $100 billion and its market cap to $24.6 billion. 

As of this writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $0.23. That potential scenario could mean a 330% price increase. That could also propel the token toward 11th place among the top cryptocurrencies, positioning it alongside Chainlink (LINK) and Cardano (ADA).

Catalysts That Could Drive Token Growth And Market Surge

Virtual Bacon also addressed comparisons to the TRUMP memecoin launched earlier this year, acknowledging that while WLFI may eventually face an 80% drop like many altcoins, it is fundamentally different. 

Unlike TRUMP, which experienced a rapid ascent beyond $70 before entering a major downtrend, the analyst notes that WLFI boasts “real integrations,” ties to US Treasuries, and institutional backing.

Virtual Bacon identified key catalysts that could drive WLFI’s growth. These include the development of a retail app for and payment solutions, a lending and borrowing platform, and the anticipation of a social media post from President Donald Trump regarding WLFI, which could significantly boost its visibility and market activity.

The analyst also mentioned that interest in the recently launched cryptocurrency has outperformed that of major altcoins, such as Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), which he believes indicates a potential cult following that could drive liquidity.

Ultimately, Virtual Bacon argues that WLFI’s fair tokenomics, transparent supply structure, strong institutional support, and growing retail momentum position it favorably for the future and strong performance in the upcoming months.
