Will Dogecoin price crash 44% amid DOGE death cross pattern?
The creation of the death cross pattern with the DOGE MVRV ratio and 200 WMA may cause the price of Dogecoin to potentially correct to $0.15.
Due to pressure on the entire meme currency after the rug pull event in LIBRA, which was introduced by Argentine President Javier Milei last weekend, Dogecoin’s price has dropped 3% in the past day. As a death cross pattern forms for DOGE MVRV, technical charts for DOGE flash warning signs. A well-known analyst confirmed the gloomy trend by predicting that the value of the top-meme currency will likely collapse by 44% in the near future.
Analyst predicts that Dogecoin price can correct 44%
A negative technical chart pattern suggests that DOGE may be in for a difficult time, according to well-known cryptocurrency expert Ali Martinez. Martinez pointed out a “death cross” that exists between Dogecoin’s 200-day moving average (MA) and its Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio.
According to the expert, these chart patterns have previously resulted in large drops, with the price of Dogecoin falling 26% and 44% in the last two examples. DOGE may drop all the way to $0.15 from its present levels if this occurs.
Meme coins take a massive hit
The price of Dogecoin (DOGE) has dropped 7% over the last weekend as the whole meme coin market suffers greatly after Argentina’s LIBRA meme currency launched and had a huge pump and dump. Celebrity meme currencies have suffered the most, aside from well-known players like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu (SHIB).
Additionally, according to Coinglass statistics, 24-hour liquidations have soared to $3.57 million, of which $3.1 million is in long liquidations, while DOGE futures open interest has fallen 5.27% to $2.41 billion.
DOGE traders remain optimistic
Even if the technical charts indicate that the price of Dogecoin is likely to decline, traders remain hopeful about future gains. Furthermore, there is still hope despite events about the SEC’s possible approval of a spot Dogecoin ETF. The cryptocurrency industry has even more optimism after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accepted asset management Grayscale’s DOGE ETF registration last week.
Dogecoin (DOGE) has shown stability after two weeks of consolidation after a recent capitulation event, according to cryptocurrency expert Bluntz, who has voiced confidence about the cryptocurrency. “$DOGE is looking pretty solid here, in my opinion,” Bluntz noted, adding, “If there’s one saying that’s always stuck with me, it’s never short a dull market.”
According to the researcher, Dogecoin’s present period of quietness may be a sign of future strength, with traders closely monitoring any changes in the price.
When XRP price can hit $8, $13, and $27? Analyst reveals timeline
A leading market expert gave possible timetables for Ripple’s native cryptocurrency to reach $8, 13, and $27 as the price of XRP fell 4% today. Here’s all you need to know.
The price of XRP drops more than 4%, falling below the crucial $2.7 support level, raising fears of a further decline. Even while Ripple’s native cryptocurrency has lately surged above $2.8, boosting market optimism for a possible rebound above $3 next, recent events have left many wondering about the cryptocurrency’s future.
However, a leading industry analyst predicts when the cryptocurrency might reach a new all-time high of $8, garnering significant market attention, based on technical signs and other important measures. In addition, he offered a prediction for the cryptocurrency’s future rise to $13 and $27.
Analyst highlights bullish technical indicators for XRP price
Important technical indicators that point to the next significant shift in the price of XRP have been noted by cryptocurrency specialist EGRAG CRYPTO. His research indicates that the 21-week exponential moving average (EMA) has served as a crucial level of support for the cryptocurrency. This indication remained stable even throughout the most recent flash crash, indicating a solid basis for price stability.
XRP is now stabilizing between Fibonacci (Fib) levels 0.888 and 1.0, inside the $2.25 to $3.30 range, according to EGRAG CRYPTO. Technical analysis suggests that this configuration creates the conditions for a possible breakthrough. He described a significant Fib intersection that is anticipated to occur on March 10, 2025, which might cause the price of the cryptocurrency to spike three times higher than it is now, reaching $8.
In addition, he anticipated that the asset would continue to rise. Based on further Fibonacci extensions, his study suggests that the price of XRP may increase to $13 by September 22, 2025, and maybe $27 by June 30, 2025. In addition, a recent analysis showed when XRP is expected to reach $17.
Short-term outlook for the crypto
Dark Defender, another expert, is still upbeat about the price of XRP’s short-term prospects. He believes that a rally to $3 might soon be possible if the $2.7740 level is regained. He highlighted in his most recent research that a much bigger breakthrough toward double-digit price levels might be indicated by breaking the current resistance zone.
Interestingly, this aligns with the most recent forecasts made by other specialists. For background, prominent expert Ali Martinez stated in a recent X article that Ripple’s native asset is exhibiting a “cup and handle pattern,” suggesting a possible breakthrough to $3.35 ahead.
Is XRP poised to flip Ethereum?
Experts are still hopeful about the future of the XRP pricing despite the recent erratic price swings. Discussions in the market have been further triggered by analysts’ predictions that cryptocurrency will soon overtake Ethereum.
In the meanwhile, Dark Defender asserted that XRP has started to outperform Ethereum in terms of market performance. He said that although Ethereum (ETH) price increased by 80% between September 2023 and January 2025, XRP’s price increased by 564%.
He claims that this notable distinction demonstrates the increasing market domination of Ripple’s native cryptocurrency. Furthermore, he chastised doubters who reject technical analysis, asserting that price movements’ mathematical patterns offer important clues about XRP’s prospects for the future.
What’s next for XRP price?
At the time of writing, the price of XRP was down 4.13% and trading at $2.67. However, a wave of favorable market developments around Ripple and the cryptocurrency has caused the price of the cryptocurrency to rise by about 12% over the past seven days. In the meantime, after recently reaching $4.2 billion, XRP Futures Open Interest dropped 6% to $4.07 billion.
However, given the state of the market, it seems probable that XRP will see a strong rise in the near future. For background, the market is speculating on a possible settlement or dismissal in the Ripple v. SEC lawsuit under the next US SEC Chair. If this prediction is accurate, the price of the cryptocurrency may reach a new peak.
However, market mood has also been strengthened by the high level of expectation surrounding a possible XRP ETF clearance in the US. The investing tool has the potential to greatly increase institutional investors’ interest in cryptocurrencies, opening the door for a strong future surge.
