TL;DR

BTC reached a new historic peak, with indicators signaling more upside potential. XRP confirmed a multi-year triangle breakout, while analysts predict a push to $3 or a fresh ATH. ETH climbed over 20% in a week, with some industry participants envisioning a pump to $4,000.

First Time in History

The primary cryptocurrency remains on the crest of the wave, with its price exploding to a new all-time high of over $118,000 just a few hours ago. Moreover, several indicators suggest that bitcoin (BTC) has more room for growth.

During previous peaks in 2024, for instance, the assets Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio spiked beyond 2.7, while it currently stands at around 2.35.

The diminishing amount of BTC stored on crypto exchanges also indicates a similar thing. Over the last several months, investors have gradually shifted assets from centralized platforms to self-custody methods, as shown in the chart below.

OxNobler, who previously forecasted that the real bull run would start on July 10, thinks the super-cycle is here and argued that the valuation could explode to $300,000.

XRP Pumping, too

Ripples cross-border token has followed the green wave in the crypto market, rising to a two-month high of $2.60. Furthermore, its price appears to have confirmed a breakout from a multi-year symmetrical triangle that formed between 2018 and 2024, which could be a precursor to additional solid gains. 

X user Cryptoinsightuk assumed that a rise above the resistance level of $2.60 could open the door to an ascent toward $3 and then a new all-time high. 

At the same time, though, investors should keep an eye on some important metrics that suggest a short-term correction is not out of the cards. An example is XRPs Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has soared to 85, or extremely overbought territory.

How About ETH?

The worlds largest altcoin has posted an impressive price increase of almost 20% over the past week, currently trading well above $3,000.

However, there are also some warning signals. As CryptoPotato reported, the Ethereum Foundation offloaded 1,210 ETH for 3.5 million USDC at an average price of approximately $2,890. The entitys past sell-offs have become part of cryptos folklore, with some noting that these actions have often preceded notable price pullbacks.

There have been exceptions, of course. In November of last year, the Ethereum Foundation initiated another selling spree, but the assets price continued its uptrend and topped $4,000 in December.
