Today marks the official Bitcoin Whitepaper Day, a day when the idea of Bitcoin as a legitimate alternative to money and banks came into existence. In 2010, Bitcoin was trading at $0.008, struggling to find a loyal customer base that could help it stay afloat. After nearly 17 years, Bitcoin is now sitting at the $109K mark, portraying a solid foundation and a stance that has encapsulated governments across the world. That being said, as Bitcoin has shown how steadily it has grown over the years, one cannot help but wonder where this asset will be 20 years from now. Here’s a speculative prediction on that.

After Solana boasted this week about its exclusive partnership with remittance giant Western Union for its USDPT stablecoin, researchers remained skeptical that the partnership will gain meaningful traction. The unfortunate reality of such announcements is initial hype and minimal follow-up. Indeed, for nearly a decade, crypto partnerships with traditional finance — and remittance companies in particular — have almost always fizzled out after their initial fanfare. Crypto giants like Ripple and Stellar have announced a dizzying array of Press Releases that ultimately resulted in minimal on-chain activity. According to a complaint by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, for example, Ripple “made an avalanche of public statements” over the years in an attempt to increase the value of XRP as it sold over $2 billion worth of the token. Ripple contested that characterization and lost one complaint on the slightly lower amount of $728 million worth of unreg...

Ripple XRP recently had crypto analysts worried, as the cryptocurrency formed a deathcross on its Bitcoin pairing earlier this week. This occurs when a short-term moving average, usually the 50-day MA, falls below the longer-term MA. While this was a subject of concern, XRP bulls quickly reaffirmed that earlier this week, flipping the assets price to a streak of hourly gains. As a result, XRP is up 7% overall in the past seven days. XRP is holding around $2.50, which represents about 8% gains this week, and the weekly chart shows price just bounced off the 0.618 Fibonacci level—a zone that buyers typically defend with significant force and conviction.

As Solana (SOL) trades just below the $200 mark amid broader market weakness, an analyst has suggested that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a sharp correction toward $105. This outlook, shared by TradingShot in a TradingView post on October 21, is based on Solana’s trading pattern since bottoming out in early April. Since then, the token has moved within an upward channel, consistently forming higher highs and higher lows. SOL price analysis chart. Source: TradingView The bullish structure has so far been supported by the 200-week moving average (MA), which acted as the foundation for the April rebound. However, the analyst noted that the latest pullback has exposed underlying weaknesses, bringing the token dangerously close to a key support level at the 200-day moving average around $165. Despite holding this level on four successive tests, the outlook indicates that Solana’s price action shows signs of waning momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI...
