XRP Price Eyes $36 After Double Bottom Breakout
The XRP price has broken out of a 7-year Double Bottom pattern, a technical event that often signals a long-term bullish reversal. Analysts like Gert van Lagen suggest this could propel XRP toward $36, echoing its 2014-2017 rally. The breakout was followed by a textbook retest, reinforcing the pattern’s validity. Comparisons to Ethereum’s 2017 breakout further fuel optimism, with some predicting a parabolic surge to $589. If historical patterns hold, XRP may be entering one of its strongest bull runs yet.
read moreXRP’s 7-Year Breakout: Can It Hit $34?
Technical analyst Gert van Lagen argues that XRP has broken out of a seven-year double-bottom pattern, with a confirmed retest of the neckline around $2. The logarithmic chart suggests a measured move toward ~$34, based on Fibonacci extensions and historical parallels to the 2014–2017 cycle. Van Lagen’s roadmap projects a volatile five- to six-month ascent, with interim targets above $11 and a peak near $36 before potential retracements. While the breakout is technically confirmed, the realization of the $34 target depends on upcoming price action. At press time, XRP traded at $3.14.
read moreEthereum Poised for $9K Breakout: Analysts Bullish
Ethereum’s price has retraced after a strong bull rally, but analysts see this as a temporary dip before a potential explosive breakout. Crypto expert Gert van Lagen highlights a Descending Broadening Wedge pattern, which historically signals bullish continuation, with Ethereum now retesting the upper boundary as support. A successful retest could propel ETH toward $9,000, a 79% upside from current levels. Another analyst, ‘Crypto GEMs,’ predicts Ethereum could surpass $5,000 by August, viewing the recent drop as a buying opportunity. The bullish outlook is further supported by Bitcoin’s past performance under a similar pattern, reinforcing confidence in Ethereum’s upward potential.

Ethereum’s price has climbed from $2,877 to over $3,700 since February, marking a 30% surge that has vindicated Eric Trump’s earlier bullish stance. Trump recently responded to critics on X, highlighting ETH’s 35% gain in five months. The rally follows months of volatility, including a 49% drop earlier this year. Analysts like Gert van Lagen and Tom Lee project ETH could reach $8,000–$15,000 by 2025–2026, fueled by the upcoming Fusaka upgrade. Meanwhile, the Trump family’s crypto involvement is expanding, with Trump Media holding $2B in Bitcoin and Eric Trump co-founding ventures like American Bitcoin, which has raised $220M for mining operations. Their investments signal a long-term commitment to the crypto space.
read moreEthereum Rally Fuels Altcoin Surge as BTC Holds Steady
The crypto market is witnessing a strong altcoin surge led by Ethereum, with the TOTAL 2 market cap (excluding BTC) hitting $1.5 trillion. Bitcoin remains steady around $118,000, though on-chain data signals potential selling pressure due to rising exchange reserves and whale inflows. Analysts are divided on BTC’s near-term trajectory, with some predicting a fresh all-time high by July end, while others warn of a correction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech adds another layer of uncertainty, as political pressure mounts for rate cuts. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s rally has significantly reduced Bitcoin’s market dominance, now nearing 60%, signaling a potential altcoin season breakout.
read moreEthereum’s Bull Run: Analyst Predicts $10K Target
Ethereum’s price has soared to $3,600, marking a 45.48% monthly gain. Dutch analyst Gert Van Lagen applies Elliott wave theory, suggesting ETH is in the fifth and final wave of its bull cycle, with a $10,000 target. The theory outlines a five-wave pattern, with the current wave V expected to culminate in a blow-off rally. ETH trades at $3,657, up 1.79% in 24 hours, but declining trading volume hints at weakening momentum. Ethereum remains the second-largest crypto with a $441.14B market cap.
read moreBitcoin’s Final Bull Run: $300K+ Price Target
Analyst Gert van Lagen predicts Bitcoin is nearing its final and most aggressive bull run, potentially surpassing $300,000—or even $425,000—based on a parabolic step-like growth structure. The chart identifies four consolidation phases (Base 1–4), with the current Base 4 completed, signaling a Wave 5 breakout. Elliott Wave theory aligns with this trajectory, marking Wave 5 as the cycle’s final surge. A dynamic ‘sell line’ suggests the longer Bitcoin consolidates, the higher its peak price could climb, with a projected breakout by July 2025. This analysis underscores Bitcoin’s potential for a historic rally, eclipsing previous all-time highs.
read moreBitcoin’s AVIV Ratio Signals Potential $300K Surge
Bitcoin has stabilized around $105,000 despite recent market tensions, with analysts pointing to the AVIV Ratio—a historical indicator of major rallies—as a signal for another potential surge. Crypto commentator Gert van Lagen highlights that the current AVIV behavior mirrors past mid-cycle breakouts, such as those in 2013, 2017, and 2021, which preceded massive price increases. The ratio has not yet crossed the +3σ threshold, suggesting Bitcoin may still be in the early phase of a bull market expansion. If historical patterns hold, a conservative 3x move from current levels could push Bitcoin toward $300,000. While short-term volatility persists, the AVIV model implies a parabolic upside is brewing.

Ethereum’s price has reclaimed the $2,800 threshold, briefly touching $2,870, marking its first time above this level since February 2025. Analysts point to a bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern forming on Ethereum’s two-week chart, with a neckline near $4,200. A breakout above this resistance could trigger a rally toward $19,500, a 600% gain from current levels. While the timeline remains uncertain, the multi-year pattern suggests this target could take up to four years to materialize. Ethereum is currently trading at $2,772 after a slight retracement from its recent peak.
