Dogecoin (DOGE) prices surged by over 17% in the past week, in line with a bullish altcoin performance, pushing the total crypto market cap to $4 trillion. The prominent altcoin is now facing major resistance at the $0.25 price level, the result of which bears significant implications for the current positive momentum. Popular market analyst Ali Martinez has weighed in on this situation, highlighting a chart pattern that favours a massive price breakout in the DOGE market. Double Bottom Formation Tips DOGE For 82% Rally In an X post on July 18, Ali Martinez presented a bullish technical analysis of the DOGE daily chart, hinting that the altcoin holds significant potential for a sustained rally in the short term. Martinez’s post shows that DOGE price movement over the six months has carved a textbook double bottom pattern, i.e., a technical setup that typically signals a positive trend reversal. The double bottom pattern is a classic bullish formation, featuring two roughly equal lows separated by a peak, i.e, the neckline in between. In the chart above, this pattern is noticed with DOGE forming lows near $0.13–$0.15 in April and June, separated by a rally toward $0.25 in May, representing the pattern’s neckline. Notably, the crypto market surge over the last month has pushed DOGE towards $0.24 again, thereby completing the W shape of the double bottom pattern. However, to validate the bullish potential of this chart pattern, market bulls must hold a decisive breakout above $0.25 resistance, which will typically be interpreted as a strong buy signal, projecting further gains ahead. This is a highly possible scenario as the steep recovery from the June lows shows increasing bullish momentum with buyers stepping in with higher volume, pushing price action upward in a nearly uninterrupted fashion. According to Ali Martinez, a successful clearance of the $0.25 neckline paves DOGE’s way for a rally to $0.42, hinting at a potential 82.3% gain on present market prices. On the other hand, another consecutive rejection around $0.25 price region would dent the current bullish momentum and possibly initiate a return to support levels around the $0.13–$0.15 region.

Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume is up by 108.5% suggesting suggesting a surge in market participation and growing bullish momentum, as traders continuously position themselves for a prolonged uptrend. With a market cap of $34.95 billion, DOGE retains its position as the ninth-largest cryptocurrency and largest memecoin in the world.

A new technical analysis by market expert Austin Hilton points to the potential for an explosive surge that could drive XRP to insane price levels. These bullish projections come as XRP hits price levels not seen in the past seven years. The analysis also outlines how the cryptocurrency could perform through the end of July and what targets it might hit by year-end. XRP On Track To $5 By End Of July In one of his latest video analyses on X (formerly Twitter), Hilton shared his outlook on where XRP could be heading in the next few weeks. The analyst pointed out that the cryptocurrency’s price trajectory has already accelerated significantly since breaking above the $3.5 level earlier this week. Over the past 24 days, XRP has also posted an impressive 77% gain, further fueling bullish sentiment. Thanks to its strong price performance these past few days, Hilton notes that XRP is now less than 10% away from reclaiming its all-time high of $3.84, set almost eight years ago. He emphasized that the popular altcoin is currently exceeding expectations, with its price surging well ahead of schedule. With bullish momentum showing no signs of slowing down, the analyst predicts that XRP could reach $5 by the end of July. He attributes this potential upswing to strong liquidity flowing across the broader market, combined with rising demand and sustained bullish sentiment as the market enters a new phase of its cycle. Backing his forecast, Hilton mentioned the recent surge in XRP capital inflows. He noted that the cryptocurrency’s market value has surged from around $140 – $150 billion to over $207 billion in just one week. He further credited this influx of capital to growing institutional interest, compounded by Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO), driving fresh entries into the market. Year-End Forecast Sees XRP Gunning For $20 Looking further out, Hilton has revised his end-of-year projection, citing the ongoing strength of XRP’s rally and improving market fundamentals. Initially, when XRP was trading within the $2 range, the analyst had projected a conservative year-end target between $5 and $10, even describing the lower end of that range as extremely modest. However, with the altcoin‘s price now solidly sitting above $3, he sees the potential for a more aggressive push in the months ahead. His updated outlook includes a baseline target of $10, which he now views as the low end of his bullish possibilities. On the higher end, he sees $15 as a realistic stretch target, and a run to $20 as a possible explosive climax before the year ends. Several factors have been suggested as potential catalysts for this optimistic prediction, including XRP’s rising market capitalization, anticipation of a potential XRP ETF, and the long-awaited resolution and settlement of the Ripple-SEC lawsuit. Hilton has suggested all these factors are aligning to place XRP in a prime position for an explosive rally this year. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

Over the past week, the Bitcoin (BTC) market recorded a new all-time high at $123,091 on July 14. However, the premier cryptocurrency has experienced a slight price retracement since reaching this milestone. Interestingly, this fall in Bitcoin market prices has collided with a widespread gain in the altcoin market, with specific large-cap tokens notching up remarkable gains. 7-Day SMA Bitcoin Whale Exchange Transfers Near 12,000 BTC – Glassnode In an X post of July 18, prominent blockchain analytics firm Glassnode shares a profound on-chain insight on the Bitcoin market, stating that the volume of whale transfers to exchanges is presently on the rise. Notably, this development comes as Bitcoin experiences a moderate price correction after reaching a new ATH earlier last week, as previously stated. Glassnode explains that the 7-day simple moving average (SMA) of BTC transferred from whale wallets to exchanges is approaching 12,000 BTC, one of the highest weekly volumes recorded in 2025. Interestingly, this surge in transfer mirrors levels last seen in early November 2024, a period that preceded a popular crypto bull run. When large holders move their BTC to centralized exchanges, it typically suggests they are preparing to liquidate some or all of their positions, either to take profits or to rotate capital into other opportunities. However, the latter scenario seems likely, especially considering recent trends in the altcoin market. Amidst Bitcoin’s price correction, several altcoins have recorded significant price gains, prompting ideas that the altseason may have begun. For context, data from CoinMarketCap shows that the premier cryptocurrency experienced a mere 0.27% gain over the past week, while altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana registered price surges of 19.98%, 25.98%, and 8.86%, respectively. Historically, this development mirrors a characteristic altseason, when other cryptocurrencies generally outperform Bitcoin, leading to a decline in Bitcoin’s market dominance. Altseasons are triggered when investors begin reallocating profits from BTC into higher-beta assets, seeking larger returns due to the lower market caps of these tokens. However, more data from CoinMarketCap shows the altseason index is at 36/100, indicating that while altcoins are beginning to gain momentum, the market has not yet fully transitioned into a confirmed altseason. An index value below 50 suggests that Bitcoin is still outperforming a majority of altcoins over 90 days. Investors should stay alert for a cross above 75 which would suggest a full-fledged altseason to be declared. Bitcoin Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $118,377 following a 0.49% decline in the past day.

A popular XRP proponent recently projected a clear path for XRP to reach $1,000. Particularly, crypto commentator BarriC laid out a multi-stage price forecast that places the XRP price on a trajectory toward $1,000. The statement, posted on the social media platform X, follows XRP’s recent surge to a new all-time high for the first time since 2018. Expert Predicts Multi-Stage XRP Price Explosion XRP has been on an interesting price run since the beginning of the month, which kicked off when it broke out of its long-term consolidation below $2.2 on July 5. This was followed by a string of inflows alongside the rest of the crypto market as Bitcoin pushed to new price territories above $120,000. However, although Bitcoin peaked at $122,800 on July 14 and has since entered a corrective phase below $120,000, the altcoin has managed to keep up its gains in the days after July 14. This detachment from Bitcoin’s momentum started after the SEC’s approval of ProShares’ XRP ETFs, which has contributed to the crypto asset’s push to a new all-time high of $3.65 in the past 24 hours and its market cap breaking the $200 billion threshold. Interestingly, XRP’s price is now trading in unknown territory, and the next price target for bulls is $4. BarriC’s post begins with a near-term target of $4 for XRP, which many bullish analysts have been watching closely for weeks. From there, BarriC anticipates a rapid expansion into double digits, forecasting a range between $10 and $20. Although the projection did not come with a technical analysis of XRP’s price action, the outlook that truly captures attention is his final projection: a “clear path” that leads XRP beyond the $100 mark and ultimately to a $1,000 valuation. $1,000 XRP: Path Or Pipe Dream? The notion of XRP reaching $1,000 has been discussed in the past but remains a controversial subject. To achieve a price point in the triple digits, its market capitalization would need to exceed $50 trillion, more than double the value of the most valuable public companies in the world combined. Central to BarriC’s prediction of a $1,000 XRP price is based on the belief that its utility in cross-border payments and banking infrastructure will drive its long-term value. A $1,000 XRP becomes realistic only when mass institutional adoption from banks turns transactional demand into structural demand. On the other hand, price targets like $10 and $100 in the coming years are still realistic based on the current fundamentals of the altcoin and the XRP Ledger. The first step is a break above $4, which can only be possible if XRP manages to secure $3 as its new base price going forward. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.44, up by 22% in the past seven days. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

A well‑known commentator in the crypto space has made a bold pitch. According to reports, Crypto Bitlord urged every new investor to put all their money into XRP. This call comes after XRP surged to seven‑year highs above $3 and hit a peak of $3.60. The token posted a 21% gain in a single week, outpacing even Bitcoin’s record run. Eye‑Popping Returns Fuel Bold Call Bitlord pointed out that someone who invested $50,000 in XRP at roughly $0.60 last November would now hold about $289,000 as prices hover near $3.47. He reminded followers how XRP broke above $1 during last year’s rally and then climbed beyond the $3 level this summer. This kind of windfall led him to tell new market entrants to skip the usual research and “take all your money and go all into XRP.” Bitlord’s track record on XRP has had its twists. In mid‑2023, he touted the token when it traded around $0.50–$0.60, only to walk back those comments the following July. Some saw his pullback as sarcastic, since prices soon climbed past his earlier targets. Based on charts, he has also laid out what he thinks XRP could achieve—calling for dramatic moves that few other analysts dare to mention. Critics And Risks Remain Despite the rally, the altcoin still faces obstacles. Its connection to Ripple and the ongoing US Securities and Exchange Commission legal showdown create uncertainty. A court decision could go either way, and any ruling against Ripple might send the price sharply lower. Other analysts have echoed bullish views, encouraging investors to stack at least 10,000 XRP tokens. They said he won’t sell until XRP reaches $100. That price would value a 10,000‑token stash at $1 million. For many, that goal sounds distant. But analysts point to XRP’s history: it once traded for $0.002, making skeptics eat their words when it hit $1. Sky‑High Targets Or Pipe Dream? Bitlord has even floated a $10 target—an increase of about 180% from today’s levels. He believes some critics will end up “in mental institutions” if XRP ever tops that mark. He’s gone further, claiming the once‑joked $1,000 target is now within reach. Hitting $1,000 would push XRP’s market cap into the trillions, dwarfing most assets on the market today. As the market buzzes, investors face a choice. Some are drawn to XRP’s meteoric rise and rosy forecasts. Others warn against betting everything on a single crypto token. The numbers show a balanced approach—dividing funds across several coins and setting clear exit points—might help guard against the next big swing. For now, XRP remains one of the most talked‑about tokens in the crypto world. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Sitting on significant free cash amid gold trading at record price levels, Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE; TSX: AEM) would rather hand back surplus cash than chase marginal deals, CEO Ammar Al‑Joundi says. Agnico reported record net income of $815 million (C$1.1 billion) and free cash flow of nearly $600 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Toronto‑based producer says it won’t sacrifice returns per share for size. “If I can’t find something good to do with your money, I would rather give it back to you than invest in something that doesn’t make sense,” Al‑Joundi told The Northern Miner’s western editor, Henry Lazenby, at an industry conference this month in Boca Raton, Fla. Agnico’s preference for working in areas with a rich mining history and political stability gives it a “knowledge advantage,” according to Al‑Joundi. As a result, Agnico plans to soon lift production at both its Detour Lake mine in Ontario and LaRonde in Quebec to 1 million oz. a year each – a feat only four mines match globally. “We see the potential for both of those mines to be million-ounce-a-year producers for decades,” Al‑Joundi said. Agnico also has a healthy near-term organic growth pipeline. Key assets include Nunavut’s Hope Bay, slated to add 400,000 oz. gold a year, Quebec’s Upper Beaver, which could add 200,000 oz., and the company’s share of San Nicolás in central Mexico, set to add 250,000 ounces.

Bitcoin’s price action has turned somewhat sluggish after its unprecedented climb to a new all-time high of $122,838 on July 14. The rapid push to that level was preceded by a week of frenzied trading and heavy inflows, with BTC breaking through multiple resistance zones in quick succession. However, once that peak was hit, a series of volatile intraday movements followed to gi
