Mawson CEO Fired for Cause Amid Accusations of Fraud and Misconduct

CryptoInsightUK believes the long-awaited altcoin season has finally begun—and 
that XRP could be its headline act. In a 13-minute market update posted on 
July 21, the British analyst argued that last week’s dramatic collapse in 
Bitcoin dominance “erased 19 weeks of Bitcoin strength in a single candle,” a 
move he called the first clear signal of a sustained rotation into altcoins. 
“Volume tells the story,” he said, pointing to the outsized red bar that 
accompanied the dominance drop. The pattern, he noted, mirrors the December 
2020 setup that preceded the last explosive altcoin cycle. If dominance 
continues to unwind at a comparable speed, it could slip to the 39 percent 
zone within seven weeks—giving altcoins room to outperform. XRP Could Rally 
500% Against Bitcoin That macro backdrop matters because, in the same breath, 
XRP just printed the highest weekly close in its history. CryptoInsightUK 
highlighted an “accumulation-then-breakout” structure on the XRP/USD chart 
that resembles Bitcoin-dominance’s own staircase lower. “It’s continuation, in 
my opinion,” he said, adding that XRP’s breach of its 2017-2018 all-time-high 
band could usher in a series of higher highs. Related Reading: XRP Targets 
$6–$10 If Bitcoin Hits $144,000, Analyst Predicts Liquidity data bolsters the 
thesis. Heat-maps from TradingDifferent show “significant liquidity to the 
upside… all the way now up to about $4.26,” the analyst said. He expects XRP 
to attack that magnet “probably within this week” and believes a run to $4.50 
is “imminent” if Bitcoin breaks its nearby resistance shelf. The bolder call, 
however, is denominated in satoshis. With XRP/BTC perched just below its last 
meaningful resistance, CryptoInsightUK sees scope for a rally of “at least 
another 200 percent—potentially up to 500 percent—against Bitcoin” once the 
pair clears the level. Such a move, he argued, would propel XRP’s market-share 
to the 14–20 percent range, up from roughly 2 percent today, and would likely 
coincide with Bitcoin itself pushing toward the $135,000–$150,000 corridor. 
“Things are going to get exciting pretty quick,” he warned, urging followers 
to prepare profit-taking plans in advance. Related Reading: The XRP Euphoria 
Phase: Why August–October 2025 Could Be Explosive Though the video focused on 
XRP, the analyst revealed he recently took full profits on his sizeable Ethena 
(ENA) position after a 100 percent gain in two weeks, citing over-exposure and 
extreme daily RSI readings. The sale, he said, lifted his cash buffer from 2 
percent to about 5 percent, giving him “the opportunity to hold my XRP bag for 
longer”. CryptoInsightUK acknowledged that timing any cycle top is notoriously 
difficult. “No one nails the cycle,” he conceded, promising to disclose his 
own exit strategy in real-time once price action justifies it. For traders who 
do not “live the charts,” he recommended a disciplined take-profit plan rather 
than aiming for absolute peaks. For now, the spotlight stays on two charts: 
Bitcoin dominance and XRP/BTC. A decisive breakdown in the former and a clean 
breakout in the latter would, in the analyst’s words, “ignite altseason” and 
validate the 500 percent upside scenario. Whether that firework display begins 
this week or takes a little longer, he insisted, “there’s no reason we 
couldn’t do something like this”—and sketched a near-vertical path higher. At 
press time, XRP traded at $3.46. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart
