1. Market Observation

In the macro market, spot silver performed strongly, breaking through the $66/ounce mark for the first time in history. Financial website analyst Eamonn Sheridan pointed out that this was a structural rise driven by supply shortages and industrial demand. However, technical analyst Avi Gilburt warned that the gold and silver bull market may end in 2026. Gold is currently trading above $4,300, and a break above the $4,383 resistance level could signal a top and a pullback. Silver's ideal target is $75 to $80. Meanwhile, the US job market released mixed signals. November's non-farm payrolls increased by 64,000, exceeding expectations, but the unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, a new high since 2021, and October's data was significantly revised downwards. Goldman Sachs believes this strengthens the rationale for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, predicting that the rate-cutting cycle will continue until 2026, with interest rates potentially falling to 3%. Affected by this, the three major US stock indices showed mixed results. A rebound in technology stocks supported the Nasdaq, and industry giant Muxi Technology surged 750% intraday, briefly surpassing Moore Threads in market capitalization. Looking ahead to key events, the market is closely watching the CPI data to be released on the 18th and the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision on the 19th.

Bitcoin's price is hovering between key support levels of $84,000-$85,000 and resistance at $94,000. Among the bulls, Tom Capital believes the recent rally is a "bear trap," and if $85,000 holds, it could squeeze short sellers down to $95,000-$100,000. Donald Dean similarly predicts a potential move towards $95,000, giving a long-term target as high as $131,000. Analyst Astronomer maintains his "overall plan" of $112,000 and expects new buying opportunities in the $80,000 range. However, bearish views are equally strong. KillaXBT took profits at $87,300 and predicts the price will eventually fall to $74,000. Ali Charts warns that a break below $87,000 could see the price slide towards $70,000. From a technical perspective, a "bear flag" pattern has been mentioned multiple times, with a theoretical target of $68,500. Looking at the distribution of shares, analyst Murphy points out that the current 11% share concentration is not yet in the "warning zone" of over 13%, therefore the probability of sharp fluctuations in the short term is low. Furthermore, Wintertermute trader Jjay believes the market is currently in a year-end digestion period rather than a risk-averse phase, and will remain largely driven by macroeconomic factors in the short term.

Ethereum's outlook is even bleaker, with the price struggling to hold above the $3,000 mark. Analyst Manofbitcoin points out that while the price has found support above the upward trend line, the rebound is weak, and as long as the price remains below $3,174, the outlook is bearish. Ali Charts has issued a stern warning, suggesting that if the December closing price is below $2,930, Ethereum could plummet to $2,000, or even $1,100. The market generally considers $2,800 a key support area, and Ted Pillows has observed decent buying activity around this level. However, on-chain activity data shows that declining network fees, weak futures demand, and selling by long-term holders are all contributing to downward pressure. Technical analysis also points to a pessimistic outlook, with a confirmed "bear flag" pattern targeting $2,300, and another "megaphone" pattern, if broken, targeting around $2,376, indicating that Ethereum faces the risk of a deep correction if key support levels are breached.

In the altcoin sector, a "sovereignty declaration" emerged within the Aave community, with some members proposing a "poison pill" plan to regain control of the project, reflecting the tension between the DAO and the development team. Simultaneously, Aave's founder announced that the U.S. SEC had concluded its four-year investigation. Regarding Memecoins, Bubblemaps' analysis indicates that approximately 80% of the $PIPPIN token supply is held by internal addresses, posing a high risk of centralization. PIPPIN recently hit new highs during Bitcoin's volatility, with its market capitalization surpassing $500 million yesterday; however, it has since fallen by nearly 30% following Bubblemaps' report.

Egrag Crypto: XRP Could be Around $6 or $7 by Mid-November Based on this Analysis

Egrag Crypto forecasts XRP reaching $6 to $7 by November. Fractal pattern analysis suggests a significant XRP price surge soon. XRP poised for potential growth based on historical price patterns. The cryptocurrency community is abuzz after renowned analyst Egrag Crypto shared an analysis suggesting that XRP could reach $6 to $7 by mid-November. This prediction is based on the study of a fractal pattern observed in XRP’s past price movements, which the analyst believes is likely to repeat itself in the coming months. According to Egrag Crypto, the analysis hinges on fractal patterns, which are used in technical analysis to identify recurring market behavior. Using the past price charts of XRP, the expert has found a certain fractal that looks similar to the existing market structure. The trend indicates that XRP will soon experience a great increase in price, and the asset will probably reach the $6 or $7 range in mid-November. The chart shared by Egrag Crypto points to a rising trend line with several Fibonacci levels pointing to key support and resistance zones. This technical structure, along with the fractal pattern, is the foundation of the price forecast. As XRP continues to follow the predicted trajectory, the analyst sees a strong possibility of it reaching new highs, especially if the fractal behaves as expected.

Fractals can indeed be… pic.twitter.com/HmIlK77Lrr — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) September 18, 2025 Fractal Analysis: The Key to XRP’s Potential Surge Fractals are a popular tool for market analysis, as they can reveal trends and potential price movements by identifying patterns in historical data. Egrag Crypto’s focus on a yellow fractal pattern in XRP’s price charts is central to the current forecast. Having contrasted the market scenario at the current period and how it was at an earlier time, the analyst has indicated that XRP might revert to the same price scenario that occurred at a later cycle in the past. Egrag Crypto’s forecast of $6 to $7 is based not just on the fractal pattern but also on broader market trends and technical indicators. The Fibonacci retracements and extensions will also give more insight into the price levels that are likely to be experienced in the coming few weeks. With mid-November in sight, XRP investors and traders will be keeping a close eye on the market to see if Egrag Crypto’s analysis is true. If the price targets are reached, XRP could experience one of its most significant rallies in recent history.
