Understanding XRP’s Potential Cycle Turn in 2026Crypto markets move in cycles periods of rapid growth followed by deep corrections.

Understanding XRP’s Potential Cycle Turn in 2026

Retail activity in $BTC is approaching its highest level of this bear market. The problem isn't a lack of buyers. Retail continues to buy the dips, while larger participants keep selling. Retail Volume Delta is around +686.5M, but mid-sized CVD sits at -8.8B and institutional-sized CVD at -12B. That imbalance explains why Bitcoin has struggled to sustain a recovery despite strong retail demand. Retail has absorbed a significant amount of supply, but it hasn't been enough to offset the selling from bigger players. The risk is that if BTC keeps falling, retail could eventually capitulate. Ironically, that may be the point where larger participants begin accumulating again. Historically, that shift, when retail weakens and institutional selling slows, has often marked the formation of a major Bitcoin bottom. #BitcoinLitecoinHolderLoses$282M

$BTC has tested the 61.5K–$62K liquidity zone six times since the start of July, and buyers have stepped in every time. Despite repeated dips into the area, Bitcoin hasn't managed a single daily close below it. That's why the 57K–60K range has continued to hold as support. Another wick below this level wouldn't change the bigger picture. What really matters is the first daily close beneath 61.5K–62K. That would suggest buyers are losing control of this key zone and could open the door for BTC to sweep the liquidity sitting between $57K and $60K.

One of my favorite short setups just played out on $BTC . It’s called "The Overshoot." What makes this setup so reliable is that it forms during an existing downtrend but briefly creates enough bullish momentum to convince traders the trend has flipped. BTC first confirmed the downtrend with a lower high at B, followed by a lower low at C. From there, price bounced, held a higher low at D, and then broke above the most recent swing high. At that point, it looked like a new uptrend was starting. That’s where the trap begins. As price pushes toward E, breakout traders pile into longs while short sellers rush to cover. If price also takes out the previous lower high at B, it grabs even more liquidity and makes the move look even stronger. The sweep above B isn't the key part. What really matters is that everyone buying the breakout is relying on D to hold. Even with the breakout, the bigger downtrend hasn't changed. Price has simply stretched higher before continuing in the original direction. That makes D the most important level. Once price rejects from E and falls back below D, the bullish structure breaks down. The breakout longs get trapped, their stop losses fuel more selling, and the downtrend resumes. From there, price naturally rotates back toward C, the previous swing low the rally was trying to leave behind. That’s exactly what BTC just did. Price rallied into the previous lower-high area around 65.5K, got rejected, lost support near 63.7K, and dropped straight back toward the prior low around 62.6K. The pattern may look complex at first, but the idea is simple. A downtrend creates a convincing bullish bounce, traders chase the breakout, and once that support fails, their exits provide the momentum for the downtrend to continue.

Yesterday, I said those calling for 40K $BTC may be expecting too much. One reason is Long-Term Holder Supply, which has now reached a record 16.65M BTC, about 83% of the circulating supply. That means more Bitcoin than ever is sitting with investors who have shown little interest in selling, despite months of market weakness. For BTC to reach those extreme bear market targets, a significant amount of that supply would need to return to the market. So far, it hasn't. I still don't think BTC has found its final bottom, but this is why I expect any eventual low to be much higher than the extreme numbers some are predicting. As Bitcoin matures, more supply is being held for the long term, making each cycle's downside less severe.

The calls for 40K $BTC look a bit premature. You can be bearish without assuming the most extreme downside target is the most likely outcome. Before Bitcoin even has a realistic shot at $40K, it would need to lose the $48K–$54K region, one of the strongest historical support zones on the chart. That area has acted as a major battleground for buyers and sellers over the past five years. As long as that support remains intact across higher timeframes, there's no clear technical path to $40K. Could BTC see more downside? Absolutely. But a move to $40K would require significantly more structural breakdown than the market has shown so far, and expecting all of that to happen within the next three months seems unlikely. #FOMCWatching

$ZEC has now completed the move into the 450 liquidity zone after confirming a Significant Break of Structure (SBOS) below $475. Over the past two weeks, this framework has accurately mapped every major liquidity pivot, from 530 down to $450. The pattern has been consistent: $530 broke, sending price toward $475. $475 broke, triggering the flush into $450. That's roughly a 15% decline in just a few days. The reason an SBOS matters more than a simple support break is because it signals a broader shift in market structure: Multiple timeframes lose key support. Former support turns into resistance. Trapped buyers begin reducing risk. Price seeks liquidity at the next major demand zone. With $450 now acting as a key liquidity area, bulls need to defend this level. Losing it could open the door to another 10% move lower as price searches for the next area of demand. #FOMCWatching

The biggest clue that a deeper $BTC pullback was coming was the change in price behavior. Earlier long-liquidation flushes within this range were consistently absorbed. Open Interest reset, support held, and BTC went on to print new highs. This time was different. Longs were liquidated and OI dropped, but instead of bouncing back strongly, BTC only managed a lower high before losing the 63.7K level. The liquidations themselves weren't the key signal. The real warning was that price couldn't recover after the leverage had been flushed out. Trading doesn't always have to be complicated. Sometimes, it's simply about recognizing when the pattern changes.

It's time for $ZEC to show its hand. Price reacted well from the $470–480 liquidity zone, and that bounce has now established the current medium-to-high timeframe swing pivot. For the bullish structure to strengthen, I'd like to see ZEC hold above $480, print a higher low, and then reclaim $510. That would be the confirmation I'd look for before considering long positions with lower risk. If the $470–480 region fails to hold, it would signal a significant break of market structure across multiple timeframes. In that scenario, the macro swing low is likely not in yet, and a move toward the $450 area becomes the more probable outcome.

$BTC is stacking liquidity on both sides of the current range, which is why I'm staying patient for now. If price reclaims 65.5K, the next likely target is the cluster of roughly $500M in short liquidity sitting between 66K and 66.8K. On the flip side, losing 64.2K could open the door for a sweep of the $200M in long liquidity below. Until either level gives way, Bitcoin is still trading in a range. Expect more sideways price action until the market clears one side and finds its next direction.
