Bitcoin is currently trading at around 78,000 at the time of writing this article, and I expect the price to go down to 71k - 72k in the short term. Why? As we can see on the chart, there are many reasons why Bitcoin should go down. The first reason is that whales (banks, institutions) still didn't sweep liquidity below the April 2025 swing low. This is a huge point of interest because a lot of retail traders have their stop losses exactly below this swing low. The second reason is that the price should touch the falling wedge's downward-sloping trendline.
I think this is a pretty good opportunity to buy/long Bitcoin at these levels because also the RSI indicator is starting to be oversold. I think we should definitely see a temporary rise to 83k - 84k before eventually going lower. It depends on the falling wedge pattern - will bulls be strong enough to break out of this pattern? We will see, but right now, we want to buy this strong support of 72k!
This is my plan for the next weeks. Right now I expect a drop, but soon we should see a pretty strong rebound. If you watch my previous ideas and you are my follower, you probably know that Bitcoin will go down even lower this year, probably below 60k! So, I am not recommending buying any altcoins whatsoever. We may see some interesting gains in the short term, but in the mid-term altcoins are still bearish. A good opportunity to buy altcoins would be in October 2026, but we still need more data to confirm this bias.
XRP has undergone a clear **downward shift** today — breaking below key psychological and intraday support levels. After opening at **$1.8880**, it dropped steadily through the early hours, reaching a low of **$1.8116** by 03:00 UTC. The price then staged a modest recovery, closing the latest hourly candle at **$1.8800**, but this rebound occurred on declining volume — suggesting limited conviction.
#### Key Observations: - **Strong rejection above $1.89**: Highs consistently capped near $1.89–$1.895 across multiple candles (e.g., $1.8946 at 12:00, $1.8934 at 23:00), indicating persistent selling pressure just under that level. - **Volume divergence**: The largest trade volume occurred during the decline (e.g., ~1.15M XRP traded at 03:00 UTC), while recent up-moves saw lower turnover — a sign of weak buying interest. - **Loss of momentum**: The move from $1.9075 (18:00 UTC on 25 Jan) to $1.8116 represents a **~5% drop**, with no strong reversal signal yet — no bullish engulfing, no volume spike on recovery.
#### Contextual Drivers: - No major XRP-specific regulatory or Ripple-led news today — but broader macro themes are relevant: - Gold surging past **$4,900/oz**, silver rallying, and renewed tariff concerns point to rising risk-off sentiment — often pressuring mid-cap crypto assets like XRP. #Mag7Earnings #SouthKoreaSeizedBTCLoss #ScrollCoFounderXAccountHacked #ETHWhaleMovements
