Bitcoin is currently consolidating between $115,000 and its all-time high of 
$123,000, forming a tight range that has kept both bulls and bears on edge. 
Despite the recent surge, price action has slowed, and while bulls are holding 
strong above key levels, market participants are growing cautious about the 
potential for a correction. Related Reading: Ethereum Enters Top 30 Global 
Assets With $416B Market Cap – What’s Next? Adding to the uncertainty is the 
resurfacing of a Satoshi-era whale. Top analyst Darkfost has been tracking 
this long-dormant wallet, which recently transferred 80,000 BTC to Galaxy 
Digital, a major player in digital assets and AI infrastructure. The move 
immediately triggered speculation across the crypto space, as such large 
transfers are often associated with upcoming sales. The timing of this 
transfer is crucial. It coincides with increased exchange inflows and rising 
discussions of institutional profit-taking. With the market already in a 
delicate position, the possibility that a portion of this massive BTC stack 
could be sold has analysts and investors bracing for elevated volatility. 
Whale Starts Selling: 1,500 BTC Sent To Binance Darkfost has confirmed that 
Galaxy Digital has just moved 1,500 BTC to a Binance deposit address. These 
coins were previously part of the massive 80,000 BTC linked to a Satoshi-era 
whale who recently reactivated their wallet. The latest transfer suggests that 
a portion of this historic stash is officially up for sale. At current prices, 
the 1,500 BTC represents around $180 million in market value. More 
importantly, it marks one of the fastest and most significant offloads ever 
recorded from a single wallet, with the total 80K BTC valued at roughly $9.54 
billion. While they have only moved a small fraction to exchanges so far, the 
sale could signal larger intentions. Some view this transfer as a potential 
warning sign, especially given the current consolidation above $115K. In their 
view, such high-volume activity from a long-term holder might precede further 
profit-taking or even a broader correction. Others, however, see it as a smart 
and well-timed move from an investor who has held since Bitcoin’s earliest 
days and is finally realizing some gains. Related Reading: Coinbase Premium

Price Holds Tight Range After ATH Bitcoin is currently trading at $118,000, 
consolidating within a tight range between $115,730 and $123,230, as shown in 
the 12-hour chart. This comes after a strong breakout earlier this month that 
pushed BTC to a new all-time high of $123,230. Since then, price action has 
shown signs of cooling without a major pullback, suggesting bulls remain in 
control, but short-term momentum is slowing. The chart displays a healthy 
structure, with BTC trading well above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day simple 
moving averages, which are currently at $111,819, $108,563, and $102,963. This 
confirms strong trend support from long-term holders and momentum investors.

This Time? Volume has increased during the move higher, indicating conviction 
behind the breakout, but the last few candles show lower follow-through 
volume, consistent with a consolidation phase. If BTC holds above $115,730, 
the structure remains bullish and could lead to another breakout toward 
$130,000 and beyond. A break below this level, however, could open the door 
for a deeper retracement, with the $112K–$111K zone acting as key moving 
average support. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

The XRP price is on the rise once again after clearing the resistance that had 
mounted at the $3 level. This resistance has now been turned into support as 
the price is now only 15% from its all-time highs of $3.84. Amid this, 
expectations have begun to rise that the XRP price will reach new all-time 
highs from here. It suggests that there is still another move coming for the 
digital asset that could send it higher, and one analyst has advised investors 
to get ready to sell. XRP’s Next Surge Is A Good Time To Sell In an X post, 
crypto analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino has given XRP investors a heads up on 
when they should be getting ready to sell their coins. The post features a 
price chart that shows that XRP has already beaten $3 and is likely to head up 
to higher levels. Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP Investors To Not Make This 
Grave Mistake This Cycle Severino explained that the XRP price has now entered 
into price discovery, something that is bullish for the digital asset. Price 
discovery is a period where market participants, ie buyers and sellers, 
determine what the value of an asset is through their activities. So far, the 
market looks to have decided that the XRP altcoin is worth more and has 
continued its uptrend. Interestingly, the crypto analyst had initially pointed 
to this possible move months ago in May 2025, showing that XRP had reached a 
critical level. This was the monthly RSI crash back down to the 67.18 level, 
and the last time that something similar had happened was back in 2017 before 
the price surge to all-time highs. In a similar vein, it had taken a few 
months back then for the trend to play out, but the resulting surge was almost 
as massive as the first one. As the XRP price seems to be playing out the 
second surge, the analyst expects that a final surge may be on the way for 
XRP. However, what is most important here is that investors get ready to take 
profit during this final surge. Open Interest Points To Possible Peak As the 
XRP price has risen, so has the open interest as crypto traders take their 
positions in the digital asset. This surge has seen the XRP open rise to 
levels never seen before to beat its previous all-time high of $8.33 billion 
that was set back in January 2025. The XRP open interest has now risen to over 
$9 billion, according to data from Coinglass. Related Reading: Ethereum Road
