Analyst Predicts Blow-Off Top Ahead

Market analyst and trader Henrik Zerberg predicts a blow-off top in US markets for cryptocurrency and stock sectors. This prediction comes after the market-wide crash on Monday, which saw over $1 billion in crypto positions liquidated.
The crypto industry is recording a shift in sentiment, with Bitcoin up 8%, holding well above $55,000, and dragging altcoins along with it.
Blow Off Top To Come In Crypto and Stock Markets
Zerberg anticipates new all-time highs (ATHs) in the US stock market as well as crypto. He says the current bearish sentiment will transform into a strong bullish sentiment and euphoria, leading to a blow-off top.
“As we in the coming few months reach ATHs in the US stock market and in BTC+ Crypto, the current Bearish sentiment will develop into strong Bullish sentiment and euphoria – and the markets will soar! I will be told that I am wrong about my forecast of a coming top in US markets. But Recession is coming and the largest bear market since 1929 will begin. First, blow-off top (in US markets!),” Zerberg wrote.
In crypto jargon, a blow-off top is a trading term that describes a chart pattern showing a steep and rapid increase in Bitcoin price and trading volume. After that, a steep and rapid drop in price happens, accompanied by high volume. Analysts interpret the rapid changes to mean the market was way overbought.

Zerberg’s forecast comes after panic selling on Monday turned into impulse buying. Nevertheless, Jack Mallers, a popular market analyst, ascribes the sell-off to the unique availability of open Bitcoin markets as the crisis intensified.
“In crises, markets sell what they can, not what they want. Bitcoin is down because it was the only market open to sell on Sunday night, not because the only fixed supply of money we have is now less valuable. Bitcoin isn’t hedging the broken financial system, it’s replacing it,” Mallers explained.
At the height of the crisis, liquidity was needed, and it could only come from one place on a Sunday night. Accordingly, Bitcoin’s liquidity positioned it for losses, as investors had a gateway to exit the market. This explanation highlights Bitcoin’s role in fixing the financial system.
“Liquid assets always be liquidated first in liquidity crises. Bitcoin is insanely liquid…try and sell $275k of gold at 11:27 pm on a Sunday,” Adam, a Bitcoin mining infrastructure developer, said.
As BeInCrypto reported, markets are already recovery mode after ETF (exchange-traded funds) investors reportedly seized the opportunity to buy the dip.
ETF Investors, Whales Buy The Dip After Marketwide Jitters
On Tuesday, analyst James Seyffart observed, “ETF investors, in aggregate, likely bought the dip on Ethereum today.” Indeed, data shows that ETH ETFs recorded up to $48.73 million in net inflows on Monday, effectively beating Bitcoin ETFs, which saw $168.44 million in net outflows.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan reported positive inflows into the firm’s ETF instruments, IBIT for Bitcoin and ETHW, acknowledging that ETF investors bought the dip.
“We had net inflows into both our Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs today. ETF investors buying the dip,” Hougan wrote.

Notably, Bitcoin ETFs witnessed some of the most substantial trading volumes on August 5 within minutes of the US session opening. BlackRock’s iShares ETF IBIT, in particular, surpassed $1.55 billion in trading volume in Monday’s first hour of trading. ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said this was concerning.
“Bitcoin ETFs have traded about $2.5b so far, a lot for 10:45 am, but not too crazy (full history below). If you are a Bitcoin bull you do not want to see crazy volume today, as ETF volume on bad days is a pretty reliable measure of fear. On the flip, deep liquidity on bad days is part of what traders and institutions love about ETFs. You also want to see volume too, good for the long term,” Balchunas commented.
Alongside ETF investors, whales are also scooping Bitcoin at a discount. According to a press release shared on Monday, healthcare company Semler Scientific acquired 101 BTC tokens. The company recently adopted a Bitcoin treasury, with the latest buy bringing its total holdings to 929 BTC.
The firm started buying Bitcoin in late May, acquiring 581 BTC for around $40 million. It made two more Bitcoin investments in June, effectively emulating the precedent set by Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy. So far, the company has spent $63 million in Bitcoin purchases, steadily integrating Bitcoin into its treasury operations.

VanEck Sets Stage for BNB ETF with Official Trust Filing

Global investment management firm VanEck has officially registered a statutory trust in Delaware for Binance’s BNB (BNB) exchange-traded fund (ETF).
This move marks the first attempt to launch a spot BNB ETF in the United States. It could potentially open new avenues for institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to the asset through a regulated investment vehicle.
VanEck Moves Forward with BNB ETF
The trust was registered on March 31 under the name “VanEck BNB ETF” with filing number 10148820. It was recorded on Delaware’s official state website.

The proposed BNB ETF would track the price of BNB. It is the native cryptocurrency of the BNB Chain ecosystem, developed by the cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
As per the latest data, BNB ranks as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization at $87.1 billion. Despite its significant market position, both BNB’s price and the broader cryptocurrency market have faced some challenges recently.
Over the past month, the altcoin’s value has declined 2.2%. At the time of writing, BNB was trading at $598. This represented a 1.7% dip in the last 24 hours, according to data from BeInCrypto.

While the trust filing hasn’t yet led to a price uptick, the community remains optimistic about the prospects of BNB, especially with this new development.
“Send BNB to the moon now,” an analyst posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The filing comes just weeks after VanEck made a similar move for Avalanche (AVAX). On March 10, VanEck registered a trust for an AVAX-focused ETF.
This was quickly followed by the filing of an S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Given this precedent, a similar S-1 filing for a BNB ETF could follow soon.
“A big step toward bringing BNB to US institutional investors!” another analyst wrote.
Meanwhile, the industry has seen an influx of crypto fund applications at the SEC following the election of a pro-crypto administration. In fact, a recent survey revealed that 71% of ETF investors are bullish on crypto and plan to increase their allocations to cryptocurrency ETFs in the next 12 months.
“Three-quarters of allocators expect to increase their investment in cryptocurrency-focused ETFs over the next 12 months, with demand highest in Asia (80%), and the US (76%), in contrast to Europe (59%),” the survey revealed.
This growing interest in crypto ETFs could drive further demand for assets like BNB, making the VanEck BNB ETF a potentially significant product in the market.

XRP Recovery Stalls—Are Bears Still In Control?

XRP price started a fresh decline from the $2.20 zone. The price is now consolidating and might face hurdles near the $2.120 level.
- XRP price started a fresh decline after it failed to clear the $2.20 resistance zone.
- The price is now trading below $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
- There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- The pair might extend losses if it fails to clear the $2.20 resistance zone.
XRP Price Faces Rejection
XRP price failed to continue higher above the $2.20 resistance zone and reacted to the downside, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $2.150 and $2.120 levels.
The bears were able to push the price below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recovery wave from the $2.023 swing low to the $2.199 high. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The price is now trading below $2.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. However, the bulls are now active near the $2.10 support level. They are protecting the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recovery wave from the $2.023 swing low to the $2.199 high.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.120 level and the trend line zone. The first major resistance is near the $2.150 level. The next resistance is $2.20. A clear move above the $2.20 resistance might send the price toward the $2.240 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.2650 resistance or even $2.2880 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.320.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $2.150 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.10 level. The next major support is near the $2.0650 level.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.0650 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.020 support. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone.
Technical Indicators
Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now below the 50 level.
Major Support Levels – $2.10 and $2.050.
Major Resistance Levels – $2.120 and $2.20.
