Crypto Today: Bitcoin, XRP bulls push for record high breakout, Ethereum consolidates gains : Bitcoin extends gains above $120,000 as bulls target record high milestone. Ethereum consolidates gains after breaking four-year resistance at $4,000. XRP eyes its all-time high backed by bullish technical indicators, including an uptrending RSI. Bitcoin (BTC) edges higher, trading at around $121,259 on Monday, reflecting bullish sentiment in the wider cryptocurrency market. The recovery seen last week mirrored the increase in speculative demand, following the sell-off to support at around $112,000 on August 2.  Altcoins, including Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP), are following in Bitcoin’s footsteps, rallying in tandem. Ethereum breached its multi-year hurdle at $4,000 for the first time since November 2021 before extending the up leg above $4,300. XRP is maintaining its bullish outlook, aiming for its record high of $3.66, which was reached on July 18, backed by fresh institutional interest after Ripple and the United States (US) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a joint motion to drop appeals. Data spotlight: Crypto asset flows rebound  Digital investment products saw a surge in inflows, which reached $578 million last week, according to a CoinShares report. Ethereum’s Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) led with over $268 million in inflows, which accelerated the year-to-date inflows to $8.2 billion and the total assets under management (AUM) to $31.9 billion, representing an 82% growth in 2025. Bitcoin investment products regained momentum with $265 million in inflows last week. Altcoins, including Solana (SOL) and XRP, recorded $21.6 million and $18.4 million, respectively. The inclusion of cryptocurrencies in the US 401(k) retirement accounts boosted interest in digital products, pushing the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP higher.  “In the latter half of the week, however, we saw $1.57 billion of inflows, likely spurred by the government’s announcement permitting digital assets in 401(k) retirement plans,” the CoinShares report highlights. US-based speculative demand dominated the inflows with approximately $608 million, followed by Canada with $16.5 million. Interest in crypto-related investment products remained largely suppressed in Europe, with Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland collectively seeing outflows totalling $54.3 million. Chart of the day: Bitcoin nears record high  Bitcoin price is searching for higher support after rallying to an intraday high of $122,335. The bulls appear to be in control, backed by key technical indicators, including a buy signal from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).  Traders will likely consider increasing exposure as long as the blue MACD line remains above the red signal line as the indicator moves higher above the zero line. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is approaching overbought territory, points to increasing speculative demand. Key areas of interest include the round-figure level at $120,000, which could serve as the initial support, and the $123,218 record high, reached on July 14. Altcoins update: Ethereum, XRP show signs of consolidation  Ethereum price holds near its intraday high of $4,349 following the much-anticipated breakout above the four-year resistance at $4,000. The largest smart contracts token is trading at $4,252 at the time of writing, with the uptrend attributed to steady retail and institutional demand. A buy signal from the MACD indicator affirms the bullish technical structure. The green histogram bars expanding above the zero line reinforce the upside bias, increasing the chance of Ethereum tagging its record high above $4,800. Still, traders should consider tempering their bullish expectations, especially with the RSI stabilizing in overbought territory. High RSI readings are often a precursor to price corrections, suggesting overheated market conditions.  As for XRP, bulls remain in control with XRP up over 2% on Monday, trading at around $3.26 at the time of writing. The path of least resistance appears upward, backed by uptrending moving averages, including the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $2.88, the 100-day EMA at $2.66 and the 200-day EMA at $2.39. The MACD indicator could confirm a buy signal on the daily chart if the blue line crosses and settles above the red signal line, calling upon investors to increase exposure.  If the RSI extends the uptrend toward overbought territory, it will suggest increasing buying pressure and increase the chances of XRP closing the gap to the all-time high of $3.66. $BTC $ETH $XRP

Market analysis On the 4-hour chart TOWNS shows a steady climb from the 0.029 zone to the recent peak around 0.0385 before a slight pullback Current price trades near 0.0358 with a gain of over 4 percent in the last session Volume is moderate at 65.78M suggesting steady participation from buyers and sellers EMA 5 at 0.03344 is trending above EMA 20 at 0.03395 showing short term bullish momentum still intact despite the retracement The structure reflects two bullish flag formations that already broke upward followed by profit taking Support is clearly marked near 0.0347 which aligns with the most recent breakout base and deeper support sits near 0.0310 and 0.0280 Demand zones in blue indicate where buyers have historically stepped in quickly pushing price higher Resistance zones in red appear at 0.0385 and the more significant 0.0468 The upper red box marks a level that rejected price heavily in past swings Next prediction If buyers defend 0.0347 on the next retest price could bounce toward 0.0385 with potential extension to 0.0468 if momentum accelerates Holding above EMA 20 keeps the short term bias bullish A break under 0.0347 however opens the path to 0.0310 and the deeper 0.0280 demand zone Weak volume on the pullback combined with higher lows would support another breakout attempt If volume spikes at resistance without breaking through sellers may take control and cause a deeper correction What’s next The next sessions will likely focus on the battle between the mid range support and the 0.0385 resistance Traders may look for confirmation candles near the blue support box to add long positions with stops below 0.0340 Breakout traders may wait for a clean close above 0.0385 targeting 0.0468 Momentum indicators like RSI on the 4-hour time frame are approaching mid-levels meaning there is room for another push before overbought conditions weigh in Short term outlook favors cautious bullish trades while respecting the possibility of a pullback toward deeper support if momentum fades Monitoring volume and candle reaction around these levels will be critical to catch the next move $TOWNS Author: Crypto_Elle

Holding 0.233 biases tests of 0.2366 → 0.242 → 0.245–0.248 → 0.250; losing 0.2298/0.227 raises the risk of a move toward 0.224–0.221–0.2186. Key watch: reaction at 0.233. #DOGE #CryptoMarkets

XRP’s price has fallen more than 4% in the past 24 hours, slipping into the red even after Ripple’s legal win against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This drop surprised many investors, but market analyst Ali Martinez says there’s still strong upside ahead. According to Martinez, XRP has broken out of a bullish flag pattern on the weekly chart — a setup that often signals a big move higher. Based on this breakout, he predicts XRP could climb all the way to $11 in the coming months. The short-term decline seems to be linked to Ripple unlocking 1 billion XRP tokens worth about $3.28 billion on August 9. The move happened through three quick transactions, which was unusual compared to Ripple’s regular monthly schedule. While Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz explained that the unlock was a routine process, the sudden visible increase in supply appeared to push prices down temporarily. What’s Next For XRP Price? (Short-Term) XRP has been moving exactly as expected, according to analysts, with a recent dip after hitting strong resistance at the $3.35–$3.40 range. This level also coincided with a large “fair value gap” left from late July’s bearish pressure, which has now been filled. After the rejection at that resistance, XRP lost momentum and started dropping, pulled toward a lower support area between $3.15 and $3.08. This zone has both technical support and price imbalances that often act like a magnet for the market. Fundamentals could also be influencing the drop. Next week is packed with market-moving events, including U.S. CPI inflation data on Tuesday and geopolitical developments like Russia–Ukraine peace talks. Investors may be de-risking ahead of this news. In the short term, expect XRP to remain bearish, likely testing support around $3.10.
