The price of Litecoin didn’t end May in the best possible way, especially 
considering its start to the month, falling from around $95 to beneath $85 
before May 31st. While the start of June was quite strong, the altcoin has 
failed to maintain its bullish momentum each time a rally seemed to be on. 
After falling beneath the $80 level on June 22, the Litecoin price seems to be 
back on its feet as it currently dances around the $87 mark. Interestingly, a 
fresh price outlook portraying an even brighter future for the cryptocurrency 
has emerged. How Much LTC Price Surged After First Two Golden Crosses In a 
recent post on the X platform, Chartered Market Technician Tony Severino 
shared an exciting analysis of the Litecoin price. According to the crypto 
expert, the price of LTC could embark on an explosive rally depending on its 
movement over the next few weeks. Related Reading: Cardano Price Woes To 
Continue? Analyst Expects ADA To Fall To $0.47 This bullish projection is 
based on the potential formation of a Golden Cross — the third ever — on the 
Litecoin weekly chart. In a crypto context, a Golden Cross occurs when a 
short-term moving average (50-week moving average, in this case) crosses above 
a longer-term moving average (200-week moving average). Typically, Golden 
Cross formations often precede and are associated with extended periods of 
bullish price movements. However, Severino believes that Litecoin is just 
weeks of a significant rally away from triggering its third-ever Golden Cross 
on the weekly price chart. Source: @TonyTheBullCMT on X Severino cited the 
earlier two situations where the Golden Cross occurred after a substantial 
price rally. In the first instance, this chart phenomenon appeared on the 
Litecoin weekly timeframe after a 700% surge from the local lows in 2017. 
Meanwhile, the LTC rallied by 450% from its local bottom before the second- 
ever Golden Cross in 2021. For each time the Golden Cross appeared on the 
chart, the price of Litecoin witnessed a significant bullish momentum. In 
2017, the LTC price soared by 7,100% from around $5 to as high as $360. The 
altcoin jumped by more than 380% to reach its current all-time high of $410 
after the Golden Cross formation in 2021. If the Golden Cross does occur and 
history is anything to go by, the Litecoin price could be preparing to reach a 
new all-time high in its next leg up. Litecoin Price At A Glance As of this 
writing, the price of LTC stands at around $86.26, reflecting a 1.7% increase 
in the past 24 hours. According to CoinGecko data, the altcoin is up by more 
than 7% in the last seven days. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts

Litecoin Could Be ‘Just Weeks Away’ From Third-Ever Golden Cross — Expert

A new wave of debate is sweeping through crypto circles as some analysts 
suggest XRP could someday trade at $20,000 per coin. The price today sits near 
$2. That means a 10,000× jump from current levels. Related Reading: Stablecoin 
Skepticism Grows As IMF Official Challenges Their Money Role According to 
reports, the idea first took shape in 2022, when game developer and XRP backer 
Chad Steingraber laid out a plan that leaned on big banks and tokenized 
assets. Now, that bold forecast has resurfaced on social platform X, sparking 
fresh talk about where this digital token might head next. “The Chad 
Steingraber Theory” – The Road to a $20K #XRP A Thread🧵from The Future… I’m 
going to tell you a story and I’ll spin it so that all you need is an interest 
to learn what’s in store for all of us. Grab a drink, grab a snack and let’s 
take a ride, shall we? — Chad Steingraber (@ChadSteingraber) August 18, 2022 
Rise Of Tokenized Assets According to Steingraber, the first step involves 
issuing stablecoins and central bank digital currencies on the XRP Ledger. 
Every time a new token launches there, it would need XRP to settle 
transactions. That could push up daily demand. Today, only a handful of tokens 
sit on the XRP chain, but he sees that growing into the hundreds. If even 100 
new coins adopt XRP settlements, demand could climb by billions of dollars 
each year. It consists of three components: 1 &#8211; Assets built on the XRP Ledger 
(Stablecoins are the “utility”) 2 &#8211; XRP becomes a reserve asset to power the 
utility 3 &#8211; XRP is removed from public supply by institutions This is how IT 
WILL. 😉 https://t.co/d7ysY5euXc — Chad Steingraber (@ChadSteingraber) June 28, 
2025 Banks Holding XRP As Gold Based on reports, the second driver is banks 
treating XRP like a reserve asset. Instead of just trading it on public 
exchanges, financial firms would stash XRP in private ledgers to back their 
own digital currencies. He points to “many institutions” that have already 
floated plans to include XRP in their reserve piles. If each of those firms 
holds hundreds of millions of dollars in XRP, it could remove a large chunk of 
supply from open markets. Institutional Absorption Of Supply Here’s where the 
math gets eye‑popping. XRP’s total supply is capped at 100 billion. But 
Steingraber says roughly 20 billion tokens remain in public hands after 
accounting for locks, burns, and lost keys. If big institutions lock away most 
of that, circulation could shrink to under 100 million. That would set the 
stage for a classic supply shock. He even predicts prices could surge from 
cents to thousands of dollars within hours once companies dive in. Regulatory 
And Competition Hurdles Despite the excitement, there are clear roadblocks. 
XRP is still fighting the US Securities and Exchange Commission in court. A 
final loss could stall deals or scare off banks. At the same time, rival 
chains like Ethereum and Solana also host tokenized assets. Those networks 
already see billions in daily volume. XRP would need to prove it offers 
something stronger or faster to win over big players. Related Reading: The 
$100K Mirage: Bitcoin’s Rally Not Backed By On-Chain Strength A Long Shot With 
Big Ifs This forecast hinges on three big “ifs”: strong tokenization growth, 
banks stacking XRP as reserves, and a real supply squeeze on public markets. 
If any one of those doesn’t materialize, the $20,000 mark drifts further away. 
Still, it makes for a gripping story. For now, XRP traders will watch legal 
filings and ledger activity with fresh eyes, wondering if this bold theory has 
any chance of coming true. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from TradingView

Dogecoin has spent the majority of the past five days trading within a tight 
range between $0.156 and $0.165. Notably, the meme coin is now showing early 
signs of stabilization after its steep correction earlier this month, with 
bulls beginning to reclaim ground after a drop below the $0.17 price barrier.

Strength Reclaiming the $0.17 level is important, according to technical 
analysis of Dogecoin&#8217;s price. This technical backdrop sets the stage for a 
projected price move to $0.21. TD Sequential Flashes Buy Signal For Dogecoin 
Dogecoin&#8217;s 3-day candlestick timeframe chart shows that the meme coin is 
currently trading just above an ascending trendline that dates back to late 
2023, which has acted as a key support level across multiple correction 
cycles. Despite the recent volatility, the price structure appears to be ready 
for a possible bounce move from here due to the formation of less volatile 
candlesticks and higher lows just above the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level 
around $0.165. Taking to the social media platform X, crypto analyst Ali 
Martinez revealed an interesting bullish signal taking place on the same 3-day 
candlestick timeframe. According to Martinez, Dogecoin has just triggered a 
buy signal on the 3-day TD Sequential indicator. This tool, which identifies 
trend exhaustion and possible reversals, has been quite useful in predicting 
buy and sell zones this cycle. However, the bullish outlook depends on 
Dogecoin reclaiming the $0.17 price level, which is now working as some sort 
of resistance. Martinez noted that a breakout above this price level could 
allow Dogecoin to rebound to $0.21. Notably, this $0.21 price target coincides 
with the 0.618 Fibonacci extension from Dogecoin’s October 2023 low. Image 
From X: @ali_charts Path To $0.21 Needs Enough Volume For Dogecoin to confirm 
a return to $0.21, market participation must return in a meaningful way. This 
is because Dogecoin&#8217;s trading volume has been notably low over the past few 
days. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Dogecoin&#8217;s 24-hour trading volume 
is currently at just $400 million, which is a 36.7% decrease from the previous 
day. This level of activity is significantly below Dogecoin&#8217;s usual trading 
volume during periods of upward momentum. Related Reading: Stablecoin 
Skepticism Grows As IMF Official Challenges Their Money Role Such a slowdown 
in volume suggests that, despite the bullish technical signal from the TD 
Sequential indicator, the necessary follow-through from buyers is yet to be 
confirmed. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.1637, up by 1.7% 
in the past 24 hours. Until volume picks up, Dogecoin may continue to 
consolidate or even drift sideways, regardless of the bullish indicators. 
Unless there&#8217;s strong interest and stronger inflows, the breakout setup could 
fizzle out or result in another rejection at $0.17. Featured image from
