Dogecoin’s latest price movement has stalled at a critical resistance level, preventing a bullish breakout above $0.28. As such, the meme coin is now back to battling to hold above support at $0.25. Interestingly, technical analysis shows that this recent rejection at $0.28 has caused a failed predicted breakout above technical indicators. 

Particularly, crypto analyst Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) pointed out on social media platform X that Dogecoin has failed to reclaim the macro golden pocket and the weekly bull market support band, leading to bearish developments.

Dogecoin Rejected At Macro Resistance, Weakens Bullish Outlook

Dogecoin has been on an extended retracement from $0.48 for the past eight weeks. This extended retracement was further highlighted by a break below $0.3 at the beginning of February until it reached a low around $0.22 on February 3. Despite this heavy retracement, there were still bullish outlooks, especially as Dogecoin started to trend upwards immediately after.

However, recent price action in the past three days has seen Dogecoin rejecting again and failing to break above technical indicators to cause a bullish sentiment. According to technical analysis by Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA), the Dogecoin price has rejected on the 3-day candlestick timeframe chart. This rejection caused DOGE’s failure to reclaim the macro golden pocket and the weekly bull market support band.

The golden pocket is a notable Fibonacci retracement zone that often dictates whether an asset continues higher or faces rejection. In this case, Dogecoin’s failure to hold above this level suggests that buying momentum is currently weak. 

Without a clear breakout above the macro golden pocket and the weekly bull market support band, Dogecoin could continue to range between $0.22 and $0.28 without any clear upward breakout.

Bitcoin Holds The Key As Altcoins Struggle

Kevin warned that altcoin charts can be misleading, even when they look promising. Rather than fixating on Dogecoin’s isolated movements, it’ll be better to monitor Bitcoin closely, as any significant price shift in the Bitcoin price will likely dictate the next move for Dogecoin and other altcoins. If Bitcoin manages to hold above $95,000 and push higher above $100,000, it could provide the boost Dogecoin needs to finally break above the macro golden pocket and the weekly bull market support band.

Bitcoin is currently trading without a clear bullish trajectory below $100,000, which has flowed into other cryptocurrencies. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $95,208, down by 1% in the past 24 hours. DOGE is trading at $0.251, down by 4.65% in the past 24 hours and 24% since the beginning of February. The next task right now is not to lose the support at $0.25 because a break below $0.25 could cascade into more declines up until $0.22.

The XRP community is abuzz with excitement as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) acknowledges the third XRP ETF. Recently, the SEC acknowledged Bitwise’s XRP ETF, sparking hopes of a major breakthrough in the XRP price. Despite XRP’s current bearish trend, analysts and market experts remain bullish about the price’s potential ascendance into a new high.

Analysts Predict XRP Price’s Surge to $5

Aligning with the overall crypto market trend, the XRP price is currently hovering in a bearish zone. However, analysts remain optimistic about XRP’s future trends. For instance, Dark Defender, a prominent crypto analyst, forecasted XRP’s next significant Fibonacci level at $5.85.

According to the analyst’s X post, the XRP price has successfully broken through two white resistances, targeting the significant $5.85 mark. If XRP realizes Dark Defender’s prediction, the token will see a staggering uptick of 261.80%.

Another crucial Fibonacci level of XRP is at an ambitious $18.23 point, marking an aggressive surge of 361.80%. Thus, the analyst stays confident about XRP’s potential uptrend.

SEC Acknowledges Bitwise’s XRP ETF

In an astounding development, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) acknowledged Bitwise’s XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). The crypto space widely celebrates the move, expecting it as a bullish sign for the XRP price.

This marks the third XRP ETF to receive SEC acknowledgement, with Grayscale and 21Shares’ XRP ETFs having received acknowledgments earlier. Last week, the SEC acknowledged the XRP ETF application submitted by 21Shares.

Increasing Institutional Adoption Impacts XRP Price

XRP is experiencing heightened institutional demand, with several major players making moves to capitalize on its potential. Grayscale has filed to convert its XRP Trust into an ETF, while CBOE and Nasdaq have submitted 19b-4 filings for XRP ETF listings.

In addition, stock exchange MEMX submitted a filing to the SEC to list an XRP ETF, designating it as a commodity-based trust. This classification aligns with previously approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Despite these positive moves, the SEC’s approval of the XRP ETFs remain uncertain. 

Market Trend Signals New Highs Ahead

As of press time, XRP is trading at $2.50, with a daily decline of 5.18%. However, over the past week, the XRP price has experienced a 4.5% surge despite a 21% monthly dip. With a 4.2% increase in its 24-hour trading volume, currently at $5.08 billion, XRP continues to attract investors.

Strengthening Dark Defender’s analysis, experts like Solberg Invest posit that XRP is “on the verge on something big.” According to his analysis, the XRP price could hit $4.4 in near future.
