A pseudonymous leading cryptocurrency analyst, TradingShot, has given a now-or-never moment for XRP to reach the $8.5 price target. The Ripple’s native token plummeted to $2.40 during the weekend as the broader financial market crashed after US President Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on all Chinese goods entering the US.

Despite current bearish sentiment, experts see Bitcoin’s (BTC) short-term crash as a temporary setback, with the asset poised for further gains. With Bitcoin nearing the $110,000 support level, analysts believe it could be headed for a blow-off top, a rapid, steep price surge driven by frenzied buying, typically followed by a sharp correction. Specifically, in an X post on October 11, Glassnode co-founders Jan Happel and Yann Alleman, who use the pseudonym Negentropic , noted that the flash crash highlights Bitcoin’s resilience.  Their outlook pointed to a short-term breakdown at $118,000 but emphasized that this event is only a temporary bump in the road. They predict that volatility will persist over the coming days, but prices are likely to climb higher by the end of the month. This flash crash creates an even stronger case for a blow off top. If you look at $btc it has just proven its resilience. This is a prelude to the correction that we will get when the ...

Nick Szabo, a prominent computer scientist known for introducing the concept of smart contracts, says that ETH’s valuation has a very low correlation to the Ethereum network’s use cases. “A fundamental problem with ETH valuation is that ethereum’s primary use cases are largely external to ETH’s market value,” he wrote on X.  “Ethereum can be very useful, its apps can garner great revenue, and ETH can still be low price — or vice versa — there is little link between them,” he added. Ethereum And Bitcoin Are Valuable For Different Reasons Szabo’s post comes after a long-standing debate over Bitcoin versus Ethereum. Over the years, there have been talks that ETH could eventually flip BTC to become the largest crypto in the market, but this is yet to happen. According to Szabo, Ethereum and Bitcoin play different roles in the market, and are therefore valuable for different reasons.  Ethereum serves as a prog...
