Berlin, Germany, November 9th, 2026, PlayNewswire
Every sports bettor deal with the same issue: traditional sportsbooks hide extra profit margins within their odds. Behind flashy ads and complicated bonuses, regular bookmakers quietly lower payouts. When building a parlay or combo bet, these hidden cuts stack up fast
Bet25 is changing this with the Zero Margin Sportsbook, setting the new rules of sports betting. Built on honesty, clear numbers, and fair pricing, Bet25 removes traditional bookmaker tricks, so the real payout is received.
The Problem: How Hidden Margins Hurt Winnings
In a standard sportsbook, the odds you see are not the true odds. The bookmaker trims 5% to 10% off the price of each game to guarantee their own cut before you even place a bet.
On a single match, this might look small. But on combo bets, it becomes a serious problem. Because combo odds multiply together, the hidden house cuts multiply too. Every leg you add gives you a payout that is much lower than the actual math says it should be.
The New Rules: No Hidden House Edge and Naturally Better Odds
The Bet25 Zero Margin Sportsbook is not a temporary promo or a short-lived boost. It is a completely different way to run a sportsbook:
Removed House Edge: Odds are calculated using pure math. What you see reflects the true statistical probability, with no hidden house edge.
Naturally Better Odds: Because there are no built-in cuts shaving down the numbers, the odds are simply better from the start.
One Simple 5% Fee: Bet25 does not take money out of every single line. Instead, there is a flat 5% service fee charged on the stake – just once per bet slip, no matter how many picks you include.
A normal bookmaker takes a cut on pick 1, pick 2, pick 3, and so on. Bet25 charges one single 5% fee whether you pick one game or five.
See the Math: How Combos Pay More
The difference is easy to see on a multi-leg ticket. Take a simple 5-leg combo where each pick has true 50/50 probability. A regular bookmaker will usually offer around 1.87 on each outcome to keep their cut but zero margin sportsbook will price it by 2.0, again because of no hidden margin inside.
Same five picks. Same $100 bet. Exactly the same risk. But Bet25 pays out $755 more because no hidden cuts were multiplied along the way.
Don’t Just Take the Word for It: Just Compare
Almost every betting site claim to have “the best odds.” Bet25 doesn’t need hype or marketing talk. Instead, the advice is simple: just compare.
Open a betting site side by side with the Bet25 Zero Margin Sportsbook. Check any match, build a 3-leg or 4-leg combo on both, and look at the final payouts. You will see the difference right away. It is not marketing – it is pure math.
Powered by Vegangster
Turning a concept this disruptive into reality depended on having the right technological backbone. Bet25 teamed up with Vegangster as its primary platform partner, working side-by-side from initial ideation straight through to full deployment. Vegangster’s flexible, cutting-edge architecture gave the team the technical freedom to execute bold and complex features without friction. In an industry where legacy tech often limits innovation, having a responsive partner who can translate ambitious mechanics into reality has been essential to Bet25’s launch.
A Fairer Way to Bet on Sports
Sports betting should be about making smart picks and getting paid fairly when you are right. By creating the new rules of sports betting, removing the hidden house edge, and offering naturally better odds, Bet25 gives players a clear, honest alternative to old-school sportsbooks.

Venue combines self-custody and around-the-clock trading with the same voting, dividend and other rights as traditional U.S.-listed shares
Designed to work with public companies under the conditions of the SEC’s Innovation Exemption
NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Formation Securities LLC today notified the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it intends to operate a tokenized securities venue (TSV) on Solana, a public, permissionless blockchain.
Formation Securities, a business licensing trading technology from Orca, intends to operate under the SEC’s Innovation Exemption. The conditional exemption permits secondary trading of eligible tokenized stocks through permissioned automated market maker (AMM) liquidity pools on qualifying venues. Eligible tokenized stocks must provide the same rights and privileges as traditional shares, including voting and dividend rights. The public notice is available at https://formationsecurities.com/notice/.
Trading is expected to begin in early 2027, with tokenized shares of Exodus Movement, Inc. (NYSE: EXOD), Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FWDI) and Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GLXY) anticipated to be available at launch. Superstate and Securitize are expected to make tokenized shares available on the venue. Verified investors are expected to be able to access the venue through the Formation Securities platform and additional distribution channels, including Alpaca; Passage by CoinList; custodians Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association and Fireblocks; Jito’s trading interface JTX; and onchain wallet providers Solflare and Squads.
“Tokenized stocks will succeed only if public companies see the value in them, and we intend to build this market together with issuers,” said Christopher Montagano, president of Formation Securities. “Formation Securities is designed to give issuers and investors a new, transparent market, with trading beyond traditional market hours and faster settlement onchain, while preserving the key rights shareholders enjoy in the traditional financial space.”
Formation Securities is a venue designed to help issuers, tokenizers and traders realize the benefits of onchain trading on Solana. Issuers gain an efficient, global market for their securities that is open 24/7, while their transfer agent continues to keep the official record of shareholders. Every trade is recorded instantly on a public, permissionless distributed ledger, giving issuers a real-time view of trading in their shares. Companies keep their direct relationship with their shareholders, and holders of tokenized stock keep the same voting and dividend rights as all other shareholders.
Verified investors will hold tokenized shares in their digital wallets and be able to trade them 24/7 against stablecoins and other eligible assets. Each trade will settle atomically onchain, a feature designed to reduce settlement risk and provide immediate access to capital. Holders are also expected to be able to use their shares across approved onchain applications. Access to the venue will be limited to verified participants. The venue will operate under the conditions of the SEC’s Innovation Exemption, including limits on listed securities and trading volume, along with mandated public disclosures and customer diligence requirements.
“Tokenized securities venues should be able to focus on execution and liquidity,” said Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize. “Our Convertible Entitlement Tokens give them assets worth trading. Each one is backed by a real share held by our broker-dealer, carries the same rights as that share, and is held only by verified investors. That’s the standard tokenized equities should meet, and we’re glad to bring it to Formation Securities’ launch on Solana, where Securitize Stocks is native.”
“This is the moment we’ve been building toward since we started Superstate,” said Robert Leshner, co-founder and CEO of Superstate. “Thanks to the SEC’s Innovation Exemption, the companies we work with can have their shares trade onchain, around the clock, on Formation Securities. It’s a huge step for public markets, and we couldn’t be more excited to be part of it.”
Built on Project Open
Formation Securities builds on Project Open, a proposal submitted in April 2025 by a coalition including Orca, Superstate and Solana Policy Institute to the SEC’s Crypto Task Force. Project Open outlined an approach for issuing and trading shares on public, permissionless blockchains. The Project Open coalition then worked with SEC staff on how that trading could operate, ahead of the SEC’s Innovation Exemption released in September 2026.
Why Solana
Formation Securities chose Solana for its reliability, speed, low cost and established track record with the trading of tokenized assets. Solana is home to more than $5 billion worth of tokenized real-world assets.[1] Transactions on Solana settle in seconds and cost a fraction of a cent, which helps make frequent and small trades more practical. Solana’s token infrastructure supports permissioning and transfer restrictions that govern which wallets may hold or transfer tokenized securities.
Formation Securities will launch with the following service providers: Predicate, Sec3, Solidus Labs and TRM Labs.
About Formation Securities LLC

XRP’s AI-based market summary predicts the price will remain near current levels in the short term.
The model shared by Vincent Van Code puts XRP at approximately $1.12, with a tolerance of around $0.03 and 60% confidence.
That implies a near-term zone of roughly $1.09-$1.15.
The forecast is not particularly bullish.
In fact, almost every technical component behind it still points toward a bearish market.
AI Model Predicts XRP Near $1.12
The model analyzed the XRP price after the token dropped from roughly $1.32 to $1.11 on heavy selling volume.
Its central estimate is $1.12.
That is only slightly above current prices and suggests the AI is expecting stabilization rather than an immediate recovery.
The interesting part is how weak the underlying technical picture remains.
All major exponential moving averages are still positioned above price in bearish order.
The 12-period EMA alone sits around $1.14, meaning XRP has not even recovered the shortest major average tracked by the model.
That keeps the short-term trend firmly negative.
Latest AI Summary: XRP $1.12 ± $0.0300 (60% strength) Current Token Status Price: $1.11 Volume: 40,756,251 24H Change %: -0.04% XRP has experienced a severe breakdown, plummeting from $1.32 to $1.11 with high-volume selling. All EMAs are in bearish alignment, RSI is deeply oversold at 12.24, and MACD is negative. Price is consolidating near new lows after a sharp decline, indicating strong selling pressure and a lack of immediate bullish reversal signals. Trend Strongly bearish short-term trend. Price is trading far below all key EMAs after a sharp breakdown from $1.32 to current levels near $1.11. Candles – Bearish (80%) Recent candles show a sharp breakdown on 08-11-2026, 23:00 from $1.15 to $1.11. Subsequent candles are small-bodied and consolidating near lows, indicating weak buying interest. EMA – Bearish (85%) All EMAs are in bearish descending order (200 > 50 > 20 > 12 > Price). Price at $1.11 is far below the EMA_12 at $1.14, confirming strong downtrend momentum and significant bearish pressure. MACD – Bearish (75%) MACD line is negative at -0.01962 and below its signal line. The histogram is negative at -0.00326, indicating bearish momentum is still dominant despite the oversold conditions. RSI – Bearish (70%) RSI_14 is at 12.24, deeply oversold below 30. While this suggests a potential for a short-term bounce, it primarily reflects extreme selling momentum and capitulation. Volume – Bearish (85%) The breakdown candle at 08-11-2026, 23:00 had massive volume of 12.79M, confirming strong selling conviction. Recent volume has normalized but remains elevated on down moves. https://t.co/JuZJYDY4xL is an educational research tool.

RSI Is Extremely Oversold, But That Is Not Yet Bullish
The AI summary puts the 14-period RSI at just 12.24.
That is an exceptionally oversold reading.
Normally, such extreme conditions increase the chance of a relief bounce because selling becomes stretched.
But oversold does not automatically mean a bottom.
XRP is currently a good example.
The latest independent technical data also shows XRP below every major daily moving average, with bearish MACD momentum still intact. Daily RSI has remained deeply depressed as the token trades around $1.09-$1.11.
The AI therefore treats RSI as a sign of capitulation, not confirmation that buyers have returned.

Volume Makes the Breakdown More Convincing
Volume is one of the more important parts of the model’s bearish reading.
The breakdown candle that pushed XRP from roughly $1.15 toward $1.11 reportedly traded around 12.79 million XRP.
That is much larger than the surrounding candles.
Heavy volume during a support break generally gives the move more credibility because it shows actual participation behind the selling.
The candles that followed have been much smaller and have formed close to the lows.
That can eventually become a base.
For now, though, the AI interprets it as weak buying interest rather than aggressive accumulation.
MACD tells a similar story.
The MACD line remains below zero and below its signal line, with a negative histogram still showing bearish pressure.
$1.09-$1.15 Becomes the Immediate XRP Zone
The AI’s $1.12 estimate lines up surprisingly well with several technical levels already being watched by traders.
CasiTrades identified approximately $1.09-$1.10 as a major Fibonacci support cluster.
Current market analysis also puts a short-term recovery trigger around $1.13, while a daily close below roughly $1.08 would strengthen the case for another move lower.
That creates a narrow but important battleground.
If XRP holds around $1.09-$1.10 and begins reclaiming $1.13-$1.15, the AI forecast could turn into a stabilization phase.
If $1.08 fails, the market could quickly start looking toward $1.00 again.
The broader crypto environment remains another problem. XRP recently hit its lowest level since August as the market dealt with another heavy liquidation wave and weak risk appetite.
For now, the latest AI prediction is not calling for a dramatic rebound.
It is saying something more modest: after a severe breakdown, XRP may be trying to stabilize around $1.12.
But with bearish EMA alignment, negative MACD, heavy sell volume and an RSI reading that reflects capitulation rather than confirmed recovery, the model still says sellers holding the advantage.

Bitcoin’s latest drop below $74,000 has reignited debate over what is actually driving the selloff.
Benjamin Cowen believes the answer is simpler than many crypto-specific explanations.
Throughout 2026, Cowen has argued that Bitcoin’s Q4 weakness would come from a correction in equities. With technology stocks now under heavy pressure and Bitcoin sliding alongside them, he says that thesis is playing out.
The Nasdaq recently suffered its worst selloff in more than a year as concerns around AI valuations and future regulation erased trillions of dollars in market value. Bitcoin fell at the same time, reinforcing the idea that the current move is part of a broader risk-off event rather than an isolated crypto collapse.
Cowen Points to 2014, 2018 and 2022
Cowen’s argument is based on previous midterm-cycle years.
He points to 2014, 2018 and 2022 as periods when Bitcoin struggled in Q4 while equities were also going through corrections.
The historical data does show that Bitcoin had weak fourth quarters in those years.
Bitcoin fell 16.7% in Q4 2014, 42.2% in Q4 2018 and 14.8% in Q4 2022.
But the relationship is not perfectly mechanical.
The three periods had very different crypto-specific problems. In 2018, Bitcoin was still unwinding the 2017 bubble. In 2022, the market was dealing with the collapse of major crypto companies and the FTX crisis.
Throughout 2026, I have said that the reason for Bitcoin to drop in Q4 is due to a correction in equities. This is what happened in Q4 of 2014, 2018, and 2022 as well. People can mock these ideas (and they have), but it does not stop the events from happening all the same.
— Benjamin Cowen (@benjamincowen) November 9, 2026
So Cowen’s point is better understood as a macro-cycle observation: Bitcoin tends to become especially vulnerable when equity markets are already losing momentum during these parts of the cycle.
Today’s Market Is Giving His Thesis Some Support
The current setup fits that argument reasonably well.
Bitcoin recently fell to about $73,700, its lowest level since August, as crypto sentiment weakened after the U.S. midterms. At the same time, technology stocks have been hit by concerns over expensive AI valuations and the amount of capital being spent on data-center expansion.
That matters because Bitcoin increasingly trades like a high-beta risk asset during periods of market stress.
When investors reduce exposure to technology stocks and other speculative assets, crypto often gets caught in the same deleveraging cycle.
This does not mean every Bitcoin selloff is caused by stocks.
It does mean Cowen’s macro explanation fits the current environment better than blaming one individual crypto headline.
The Equity Correction May Be the Main Driver, But Not the Only One
Bitcoin also has its own problems right now.
Recent regulatory uncertainty, the Binance hack, weak ETF flows and heavy liquidations have all added pressure.
Those factors can amplify the move.
But Cowen’s broader argument is that the original spark is coming from traditional markets.
That view is difficult to dismiss when Nasdaq weakness, AI-stock selling and Bitcoin losses are happening almost simultaneously.
The real test now is what happens if equities stabilize.
If technology stocks recover and Bitcoin still keeps falling, the crypto-specific bear case becomes stronger.
If Bitcoin rebounds alongside equities, Cowen’s explanation will look even more convincing.

New White Paper Sets Out Roadmap and Safeguards for Integrating Agentic AI into Institutional Treasury, Cross-Border Payments and Trade Finance.
HONG KONG, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving beyond insight generation towards systems capable of independently interpreting objectives, evaluating alternatives and executing actions. Against this backdrop, Deutsche Bank and Ant Digital Technologies today announced the joint publication of a white paper entitled Agentic Payments in Wholesale Finance, examining the transformative potential of AI agents in institutional finance and the governance frameworks required to deploy them responsibly.
As AI agents become increasingly capable of carrying out complex financial operations, wholesale financial institutions face a fundamental question: How much authority should be delegated to these agents, and how can their decision-making processes remain secure, controlled and fully auditable?
The white paper’s forewords set out the strategic perspectives of both institutions. In his foreword, Sabih Behzad, Head of Digital Assets and Currencies Transformation at Deutsche Bank, highlighted the broader potential of agentic AI:
“The potential value lies not simply in executing payments automatically, but in improving how those decisions are made, coordinated, and controlled.”
In her foreword, Zhuoqun Bian, President of Ant Digital Technologies, underscored the importance of a pragmatic, security-first approach to adoption:
“Realising this potential in wholesale finance depends on foundations that are neither optional nor purely technical. Agents need verifiable identity, bound to an accountable owner. Their authority must be explicit, machine-readable, bounded, and revocable. Decision-making, control, and execution must be separated, so that an agent may propose but cannot extend its own authority.”
The white paper identifies three key areas in which agentic payments could deliver significant operational efficiencies and strategic value:
Treasury and Liquidity Management: AI agents can autonomously forecast liquidity shortfalls and surpluses, assess available response options and execute compliant actions across internal fund transfers, investments, external financing and foreign exchange operations.
Cross-Border Payment Orchestration: AI agents can assess multiple interconnected variables, including foreign exchange rates, payment rails and execution timing, to optimise transaction costs, speed, availability, regulatory compliance and settlement risk.
Trade Finance: AI agents can interpret complex trade documentation, identify data discrepancies, coordinate exception handling and generate financing or payment instructions once the relevant conditions have been satisfied and the necessary approvals obtained.
While these applications represent a significant advance in the management and execution of complex financial transactions, the report also highlights the governance, accountability and risk management challenges that accompany greater AI autonomy.
Importantly, the white paper advocates an approach based on “bounded agentic execution” rather than unrestricted autonomy. To support the transition from early-stage experimentation to institutional adoption, it draws on the three-layer reference architecture proposed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF):
Intent and Orchestration: Oversees adaptive agent reasoning, decision-making and workflow orchestration.
Control and Authorisation: Enforces deterministic, rule-based constraints and ensures that actions remain within predefined authorisation boundaries.
Settlement: Carries out the final execution of financial transactions.
At the heart of this architecture is a deliberate separation between AI-driven reasoning and the execution of financial transactions. The white paper outlines several essential safeguards within this framework, including explicit, bounded and revocable authorisation limits, robust agent identity binding, and comprehensive Know Your Agent (KYA) verification protocols.
To demonstrate how these principles can be translated into institutional practice, the white paper also features Anvita Flow as a key implementation case study. Developed by Ant Digital Technologies, Anvita Flow is an advanced agentic platform that illustrates how financial institutions can orchestrate complex payment workflows in secure, real-world operating environments while maintaining rigorous controls over agent authority and execution.
The full white paper, Agentic Payments in Wholesale Finance, is now available for download from the official websites of Deutsche Bank and Ant Digital Technologies.

XRP price has finally reached the $1.10 support area that technical analyst CasiTrades has been tracking for weeks, but she is not calling a bottom yet.
The move comes during another ugly stretch for crypto. Bitcoin briefly fell below $74,000, Ethereum dropped under $2,125, and XRP was pushed toward $1.10 as more than $1 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated across the market.
XRP has since bounced slightly above $1.10, but CasiTrades believes sellers may still have another move left.
Her reason is simple: price reached support, but momentum has not confirmed that selling pressure is finished.
Why $1.10 Was Such an Important XRP Target
CasiTrades’ 4-hour chart shows an unusually strong Fibonacci confluence around the current area.
The local 0.854 retracement sits near $1.0999.
Almost directly underneath it, the larger macro 0.786 Fibonacci level sits around $1.0912.
That overlap is why she had been waiting for the $1.10 region rather than treating it as a random psychological level.

XRP touched the zone almost exactly during the latest selloff.
From a technical perspective, that part of the prediction worked.
The problem is what happened to momentum on the way there.

RSI Says XRP Sellers May Not Be Finished
The RSI reading on CasiTrades’ chart is around 24.
That is deeply oversold, but oversold does not automatically mean a reversal is ready.
In strong downtrends, RSI can remain depressed as price keeps making new lows.
CasiTrades specifically wants to see buyers step in and create a clearer momentum reversal, ideally with bullish divergence.
That would mean XRP makes another test or even a slightly lower low near support, but RSI refuses to make a corresponding new low.
Such a setup would show that price is still falling while selling momentum is weakening.
Right now, she does not believe that confirmation is strong enough.
$1.00 and $0.90 Are Now the Danger Levels
If $1.10 cannot hold, the chart quickly becomes more uncomfortable for XRP bulls.
The next obvious level is the psychological $1 mark.
CasiTrades’ broader structure also shows a deeper support zone around $0.87-$0.90.
Her chart places the 0.854 macro Fibonacci retracement at approximately $0.8688, lining up closely with the $0.90 region she has repeatedly discussed.
From $1.10, a drop to $0.90 would mean another decline of roughly 18%.
That does not make $0.90 the base case.
It does show why defending $1.10 matters so much.
XRP Price Forecast: There Is Still a Bullish Scenario
The chart is not purely bearish.
CasiTrades still labels the current decline as a potential Wave 2 correction inside a larger bullish structure.
If $1.10 holds and XRP begins recovering, her Elliott Wave roadmap leaves room for a much stronger Wave 3 move later.
But price needs to prove the support works first.
A recovery through roughly $1.15-$1.16 would be a small first step.
The much more important level sits near $1.26-$1.27, where previous support broke down during the crash.
Until XRP can recover those areas, the immediate structure remains weak.
For now, CasiTrades got the $1.10 target she had been waiting for.
What happens next is more important.
If buyers finally appear and momentum starts diverging from price, this zone could become the bottom of the correction.
If selling remains as strong as the RSI currently indicates, XRP may still have one more painful move toward $1 or even $0.90 before the market finds its floor.

Gold and silver both enter the new week after strong rebounds, but the two charts are not equally convincing.
Gold price pumped about 5.2% last week, its best weekly performance since August, and is up again today near $4,100. Silver also finished last week higher and is trading around $52.20 after recovering from the $49 area.
The divergence with crypto is notable.
Bitcoin and major altcoins remain under pressure after another liquidation-heavy selloff, yet gold is rising as investors respond to softer oil prices, a slightly weaker dollar and ongoing uncertainty across risk markets.
Gold Price Analysis: $4,120 Is the First Test
The 4-hour gold chart has improved materially from the late-October low near $3,880.
Price rebounded quickly through $4,000 and is now trading around $4,094 on the attached chart.
The most important technical feature is that gold is no longer making fresh lower lows.
Instead, price has built a short-term recovery structure between roughly $4,040 and $4,120.
RSI is around 56, with its moving average close to 60.
That is constructive without being overbought.
Source: TradinigView
The chart also shows gold trading far below the 200-day average near $4,458, so the larger trend still has plenty of damage to repair.
For today, the first resistance area is $4,115-$4,125.
A clean break above that zone would put approximately $4,160-$4,200 back in play.
Support sits around $4,050, followed by the psychological $4,000 level.
My base case for gold today is a range between roughly $4,060 and $4,140, with a mild bullish bias as long as $4,050 holds.
A stronger move above $4,125 could extend toward $4,170-$4,200.
If sellers push price back below $4,050, another test of $4,000 becomes much more likely.

Silver Price Analysis: Recovery Is Real, But Resistance Is Close
Silver’s chart is more complicated.
Price has recovered from approximately $49 to around $52.20, but the broader 4-hour structure still shows a clear sequence of lower highs since the August peak near $70.
The current bounce has pushed RSI back toward neutral.
RSI is around 52, with its signal line near 54, meaning momentum has recovered significantly from oversold levels but has not yet turned decisively bullish.
The larger obstacle is overhead resistance.
Silver first needs to clear roughly $53-$54.
Source: TradinigView
That region has rejected price several times recently and sits directly above the current consolidation.
A move through $54 would improve the short-term structure and put approximately $56-$58 back into focus.
Support is easier to identify.
The first area sits around $51-$51.50.
Below that, $49-$50 becomes critical because it contains the recent local bottom.
My base case for silver today is approximately $51-$54.
A bullish breakout through $54 could extend toward $55.50-$56.50.
If $51 fails, however, silver could quickly revisit $49-$50.
Gold therefore has the cleaner chart today.
Silver is recovering, but it still needs to prove it can break the descending sequence that has controlled price for months.

Gold and Silver Price Predictions for November 9
Asset Base case Bullish case Bearish case Gold $4,060-$4,140 $4,140-$4,200 $4,000-$4,060 Silver $51-$54 $54-$56.50 $49-$51
The probabilities are not dramatically skewed in either direction, but I would give gold a slightly stronger bullish bias than silver today.
Gold’s recovery is holding better, momentum is healthier, and current macro conditions are offering more direct support.
What Could Move Gold and Silver This Week?
The biggest scheduled catalyst is U.S. inflation.
Consumer-price data is due Tuesday, followed by producer inflation on Friday. Hotter inflation would strengthen expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise rates again in December, which would usually support the dollar and pressure precious metals.
Markets currently assign roughly a 79%-81% probability to a December Fed rate increase after the stronger October jobs report.
Oil is another important variable.
Crude prices have fallen after President Trump indicated further U.S. attacks on Iran may be unlikely if negotiations continue. Lower energy prices reduce inflation pressure, which is one reason gold is rising today.
Finally, investors are still watching the technology-stock selloff.
If risk appetite deteriorates again, gold could benefit from defensive flows even if crypto and equities continue falling. Silver is more complicated because of its industrial exposure, which can make it less defensive than gold during deeper growth scares.
For November 9, that leaves a fairly clear setup.
Gold needs to clear $4,125 to extend its rebound.
Silver needs to break $54.
Until those levels fall, both metals are recovering, but neither has fully confirmed the next leg higher.

Crypto suffered another violent selloff overnight, which sent Bitcoin below $74,000 and pushing several major altcoins to fresh multi-month lows.
Bitcoin briefly fell to around $73,700, its lowest level since August. Ethereum dropped toward $2,120-$2,220, XRP broke below $1.10 during the worst part of the move, and Solana slipped under $90.
The speed of the decline was particularly damaging.
More than $1 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated over 24 hours, with about $913 million coming from traders positioned long. CoinDesk reported that much of the damage occurred within roughly six hours.
A widely circulated claim put $1 billion of liquidations inside 10 minutes, but broader derivatives data supports the $1 billion-plus figure over a longer window, not necessarily that exact 10-minute period.
Political and Regulatory Risk Is Back
Crypto sentiment was already weak before the latest liquidation wave.
Reuters reported that traders are increasingly concerned a Democratic-controlled U.S. Congress could take a tougher approach toward digital-asset regulation following the midterm elections. The market was also still dealing with the fallout from the recent Binance hack.
Another source of uncertainty came from Washington.
Senator Richard Blumenthal, the incoming Chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, issued new demands for cooperation from several companies involved in ongoing investigations.
Binance and Tether were specifically named in an inquiry involving alleged illicit crypto flows and possible conflicts involving the Trump administration and crypto firms. The companies were told to provide requested records by January 4, 2027, or the committee could pursue other measures.
This does not mean Binance or Tether have suddenly been accused of a new crime.
But after the Binance security breach and weeks of fragile market confidence, another regulatory headline involving two of crypto’s largest institutions was enough to add more risk.

Iran Headlines Added Another Layer of Volatility
Geopolitics also entered the picture.
CoinDesk linked part of the overnight volatility to uncertainty around U.S.-Iran negotiations, alongside the latest turmoil around Nvidia and technology stocks.
Social media quickly connected the crypto drop with reports that Iran talks had stalled.
That explanation needs some caution.
By Monday morning, oil-market reporting was already pointing toward renewed optimism around negotiations, showing just how quickly the situation was changing. The Iran story therefore looks more like an additional volatility trigger than the sole reason crypto collapsed.
Liquidations Turned Weakness Into a Crash
The most immediate reason prices moved so violently was leverage.
Around $1,000,000,000 in crypto positions were liquidated in just one hour during the Sunday-night drop, with more than 90% coming from longs. Bitcoin quickly moved below $74,000 as leveraged bullish positions were forced out.
BREAKING: $1,000,000,000 liquidated from the crypto market in the past 10 minutes. $BTC falls under $74,000 $ETH falls under $2,125 $XRP falls under $1.10 $SOL falls under $90 https://t.co/hIZhzQFJJe
— Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) November 8, 2026
This creates a feedback loop.
Price falls, leveraged longs hit their liquidation levels, exchanges automatically sell those positions, and the additional selling pushes price low enough to liquidate another group of traders.
That helps explain why Bitcoin, ETH, XRP and SOL all broke important levels almost simultaneously.
Bitcoin Is Now Testing a Critical Area
Bitcoin has recovered somewhat from the $73,700 low, but the technical picture remains fragile.
One important level is the 200-day moving average near $73,170. Bitcoin has not recorded a daily close beneath that average since August 19.
The institutional backdrop is also weak.
BlackRock’s IBIT has recorded five consecutive trading days of outflows totaling approximately $1.21 billion, adding another source of selling pressure.
If Bitcoin can continue defending roughly $73,000-$74,000, another relief bounce remains possible.
A decisive break below that area would make the current correction considerably more dangerous.
For now, this crash looks less like one catastrophic crypto event and more like several risks converging at exactly the wrong moment: regulatory anxiety, geopolitical uncertainty, weak institutional flows and a market overloaded with bullish leverage.

Quant is squeezing into one of its tightest technical structures in weeks, with QNT trading around $199-$200 as buyers and sellers battle near the tip of a symmetrical triangle.
Analyst Deniz Karasoy believes that compression could soon end.
His latest 4-hour chart shows Quant trapped between a long descending resistance line and a rising support trendline. With almost no room left inside the pattern, Karasoy says an upside break could quickly send QNT toward higher targets.
The first major level on his chart sits around $224.
QNT Price Is Compressing Around $190-$205
The chart shows Quant spending most of the past few weeks between roughly $185 and $205.
A descending trendline from the late-September highs has repeatedly capped rallies, while a rising support line from the October lows has prevented sellers from pushing price materially lower.
Those two lines are now converging.
That creates the symmetrical triangle Karasoy is watching.
QNT is currently sitting near $200, almost exactly in the middle of the final squeeze.
Source: X/@Bitcoinmeraklsi
Recent price data supports that picture.
Quant traded as high as roughly $205 on November 7 after rebounding from around $186 earlier in the week. On November 8, QNT remained close to $199, outperforming a broader crypto market that was still struggling to recover.
Quant Price Outlook: $205 Is the First Breakout Test
Karasoy’s bullish path depends on QNT getting above the descending resistance.
That puts approximately $203-$205 at the first meaningful test.
Recent independent technical analysis also identified resistance around $203.24, which makes this area more important than a random trendline touch.
A clean 4-hour close above that zone would strengthen the breakout case.
From there, Karasoy’s first target sits at $224.14.
That would represent a gain of roughly 12% from $200.
The chart then shows larger targets at $271.33 and $321.66 if momentum continues.
Those levels imply progressively more aggressive upside, so they should be treated as later targets rather than immediate expectations.
Quant Has Already Shown Relative Strength
One reason the setup is interesting is that QNT has held up reasonably well during a difficult week for crypto.
Quant dropped more than 7% on November 5, falling from above $203 to below $189 during the broader market selloff.
But buyers stepped in quickly.
QNT then recovered almost 3% on November 6, added another 1% on November 7, and remained close to $200 on November 8.
CoinMarketCap’s latest analysis also noted that QNT was outperforming Bitcoin and showing some independent strength rather than simply following the broader market lower. It identified $185 as an important support area and roughly $214-$215 as the next Fibonacci resistance.
That fits Karasoy’s setup well.
What Happens If the Triangle Breaks Down?
The bullish scenario is not guaranteed.
If QNT fails near $203-$205 and breaks below the rising support line, the triangle would resolve in the opposite direction.
The first area to watch would be around $190.
Below that, $185 becomes more important, followed by the recent swing low near $174.
That makes the current setup relatively clean.
Above $205, the chart starts opening toward $214 and then Karasoy’s $224 target.
Below $185, the bullish structure weakens considerably.
For now, Quant is still inside the triangle.

EGRAG Crypto, a widely followed voice in the XRP community, is looking far beyond the current selloff.
His latest long-term chart presents an unusual thesis: the next major XRP bear-market bottom could eventually form around $3.43.
That would mean a future crash could bottom almost three times above today’s price.
The idea sounds extreme, but EGRAG is not predicting a straight move from $1.16 to $3.43. His argument depends on XRP first completing a much larger bull-market expansion.
EGRAG Projects an Old XRP Fractal Into the Next Cycle
The chart is built around a long descending macro channel that has contained XRP price action for years.
EGRAG takes an earlier green price structure, or fractal, and projects a similar sequence into the coming cycle.
The key part is what happens after the projected rally.
Instead of XRP eventually returning toward $1 during the next bear market, the model places the future cycle low around $3.43.
Source: X/@egragcrypto
That is the point behind his provocative question: could traders eventually wish they had another opportunity to buy XRP near today’s prices?
From $1.16, reaching $3.43 would already represent gains of roughly 196%.
But in EGRAG’s framework, $3.43 is not the bull-market target. It is potentially the level XRP falls back toward after a much larger advance.
XRP Chart Maps $3.43, $4.99, $8.59 and $13.89
The chart marks several long-term Fibonacci zones.
The main levels EGRAG identifies are approximately:
$3.43
$4.99
$8.59
$13.89
There is also a much higher Fibonacci extension near $27.69, though his post focuses primarily on the lower four levels.
Relative to XRP at $1.16, $4.99 would represent roughly a 330% increase, $8.59 about 640%, and $13.89 close to a 1,100% move.
Those numbers immediately show how speculative the setup is.
This is a multi-year macro projection, not a prediction for the next several weeks.
Read also: XRP Price Could Be Starting the “Biggest Wave of a Lifetime”!
Why $1.16 Is Still Important First
XRP’s current chart is far less bullish than EGRAG’s long-term projection.
The token has fallen from around $1.30 on November 4 to roughly $1.16 today, with trading volume rising during parts of the decline.
So before $3.43, $8.59 or $13.89 becomes relevant, XRP needs to prove that the present correction is ending.
The $1.10-$1.15 region has appeared repeatedly in recent technical setups as an important support area.
Above current price, $1.25-$1.30 would be the first meaningful recovery zone. A stronger move back above $1.60 would begin changing the larger structure considerably.
Until those levels are reclaimed, EGRAG’s fractal remains a long-term scenario rather than a confirmed roadmap.
The Real Claim Is Bigger Than a $13.89 XRP Target
The most unusual part of EGRAG’s thesis is not that XRP could reach double-digit prices.
It is what happens afterward.
His model implies that the next large bull cycle could push XRP high enough that a future bear-market crash toward $3.43 would still leave the token almost three times above where it trades today.
Fractals do not guarantee that markets repeat, and XRP’s future adoption, liquidity and broader crypto conditions could produce a completely different structure.
But EGRAG’s chart makes a clear long-term argument.
At $1.16, traders are focused on keeping XRP above $1.
His model asks a very different question: what if the next time XRP experiences a major bear-market crash, $1 is no longer anywhere close to the bottom?

Silver is approaching what could become one of its most important technical tests in months.
The metal is trading around $51 after spending roughly two and a half months inside a descending structure that has repeatedly rejected attempts to recover.
Analyst Rashad Hajiyev believes that could soon change.
His latest chart shows silver approaching the upper boundary of its downtrend, and he argues that a successful breakout next week could open a path toward just under $70 before the end of 2026.
From $51, that would represent gains of roughly 33%.
Silver Is Running Out of Room Inside the Downtrend
Hajiyev’s chart shows silver declining inside a broad descending channel after its explosive run above $100 earlier this year.
Each recovery has produced a lower high, keeping the larger correction intact.
More recently, silver formed an even steeper short-term descending trend inside that larger structure.
Price has now fallen back toward the lower part of the channel around $49-$51.
That makes the current setup interesting.
Source: X/@hajiyev_rashad
The chart suggests silver may first test the lower boundary before attempting to break the long-running descending resistance above it.
If buyers can push through that resistance, the structure would change from a series of lower highs into the first real attempt at a larger reversal.
$55-$61 Comes Before $70
The $70 target is not the next resistance silver faces.
Recent technical analysis places the first important hurdle around $55. A break above that level would expose the October 21 high near $58.18, followed by the 50-day and 100-day moving averages around $60.65-$60.99.
That gives Hajiyev’s roadmap several checkpoints.
First, silver needs to hold the $49-$50 area.
Then it needs to break the descending resistance and reclaim $55.
After that, the $58-$61 region becomes the next major test.
Only a sustained move through those levels would make the $68-$70 zone considerably more realistic. Other technical analysis also identifies roughly $68-$70 as an important longer-term resistance area.
Read also: Silver Price Prediction: Analyst Who Called the Last Silver Crash Says $45 Comes Next
Can Silver Really Reach $70 This Year?
Mathematically, the move is large but not impossible for silver.
A rise from $51 to $70 is roughly 37% based on exact prices, or around one-third using Hajiyev’s rounded calculation.
Silver has already shown this year that it can produce extremely large moves in relatively short periods.
But the chart does not justify jumping directly to $70 yet.
The much more useful signal would be silver breaking the 2.5-month descending resistance and then holding above $55.
If that happens, $58-$61 becomes the next battlefield.
Clear that region, and Hajiyev’s year-end $70 target begins to look much less extreme.
For now, silver is still inside the downtrend.

Kaspa has passed Bitcoin in one unusual supply metric as the amount of new KAS entering circulation continues to shrink.
Current data shows approximately 27.8 billion KAS in circulation out of a maximum supply of roughly 28.70 billion.
That means around 96.85% of all KAS that can ever exist has already been mined.
Bitcoin, by comparison, currently has about 20.1 million BTC in circulation from its hard cap of 21 million, putting its mined supply at approximately 95.76%.
In percentage terms, Kaspa has therefore moved slightly ahead of Bitcoin.
Less Than 1 Billion KAS Remains to Be Mined
Based on the current figures, only around 905 million KAS remains outside circulation.
That is approximately 3.15% of Kaspa’s maximum supply.
Kaspa was designed with an unusually aggressive emission schedule. Its mining reward declines every month by a factor of 2^(-1/12), effectively cutting issuance in half every year instead of using Bitcoin’s four-year halving model.
Kaspa’s official tokenomics documentation had already projected that about 95% of the total supply would be mined by July 10, 2026.
INSIGHT: @Kaspa has overtaken @Bitcoin in terms of the percentage of its maximum token supply already mined, reaching 96.85% compared with BTC’s 95.73%. This means that less than 3.2% of the total $KAS supply remains to enter circulation through mining. The milestone highlights Kaspa’s progress toward its maximum supply limit. With issuance nearing completion, scarcity and long-term tokenomics are likely to remain key topics among the Kaspa community.
— Bitcoin China (@BitcoinChina_) November 8, 2026
The network also had no premine, presale or founder allocation, meaning the circulating KAS supply has been created through proof-of-work mining since mainnet launched in November 2021.
Bitcoin’s remaining issuance is intentionally much slower. Around 4.24% of BTC still remains to be mined, with the final fractions of Bitcoin not expected to enter circulation until around 2140.
Read also: Kaspa Price Warning: Bulls Need to Defend THIS Level Now
Does This Make Kaspa Scarcer Than Bitcoin?
Not necessarily.
The percentage already mined tells investors about future supply growth, but it does not determine scarcity by itself.
Bitcoin has a maximum supply of only 21 million coins and a market capitalization above $1.5 trillion. Kaspa has a maximum supply above 28 billion coins and currently trades near $0.029, giving KAS a market value of roughly $820 million.
The more useful takeaway is that Kaspa’s inflation from mining is rapidly becoming less important.
With nearly 97% of supply already circulating and mining rewards continuing to decline every month, future KAS price performance will depend less on absorbing large amounts of newly issued coins and more on actual demand from investors, miners and activity across the Kaspa ecosystem.
That could become increasingly relevant if demand eventually recovers.
Kaspa’s price is still down more than 85% from its 2024 all-time high around $0.2075, so shrinking issuance has clearly not been enough on its own to support price during a weak market.
Kaspa has now distributed a greater percentage of its maximum supply than Bitcoin, and with only about 3.15% of KAS left to mine, its transition from an issuance-heavy asset toward an almost fully circulating supply is moving quickly.

Hedera is trading near $0.067 after another difficult month for altcoins, but analyst Bmendo believes HBAR could eventually reach $3 during a strong crypto cycle.
HBAR currently has roughly 44.3 billion tokens circulating from its maximum 50 billion supply, giving it a market capitalization just under $3 billion. The token also remains about 88% below its 2021 all-time high near $0.57.
Bmendo’s target is extremely ambitious.
At $3, HBAR’s circulating market capitalization would be approximately $133 billion, with a fully diluted valuation of $150 billion.
From $0.067, that would mean a move of almost 45x.
Why the Analyst Thinks HBAR Can Reprice Higher
The argument is not based on one partnership.
Bmendo points to Hedera already having infrastructure being used in areas such as tokenized financial assets, carbon markets and supply-chain data.
One of the clearest examples involves Lloyds, Aberdeen and Archax. In 2025, tokenized units of Aberdeen money-market funds and UK government bonds issued and managed through Archax on Hedera were used as collateral for foreign-exchange trades.
$3 hedera-hashgraph:native will happen — here’s how. Hedera HBAR is currently ~$0.067 with a ~$3B market cap and ~44.3B of 50B circulating. $3 implies a ~$133–150B valuation. That’s aggressive, but not unprecedented in a full risk-on cycle when a network already has real throughput and production use cases. Network capacity vs. current usage – Hedera has processed 20M+ transactions in a single month recently and hit daily peaks above 800k. The governed throttle sits at 10,000 TPS for crypto transfers, with production bursts already exceeding that. Most chains talk about scale. Hedera already has the headroom for enterprise-volume settlement and micropayments without redesigning the consensus layer. Live infrastructure, not pilots – • Carbon markets: Verra is integrating the Guardian platform; BCarbon has already moved millions of issued credits on-chain. Digital MRV is shortening issuance timelines that used to take up to two years. • Supply chain: Avery Dennison’s https://t.co/7XqZtNfSBf has tracked tens of billions of products on Hedera. • Institutional collateral: Lloyds and abrdn completed FX trades using tokenized money-market funds and gilts issued and managed on Hedera via Archax. • AI agents: Agent Accounts let AI agents execute bounded transactions with programmable limits, approved recipients, and auditability. The tooling is already shipping. These are not roadmap items. They are operating systems. Technical setup into a bull cycle – Price is down ~88% from the 2021 ATH of ~$0.57. Daily RSI has been in the low-30s. In prior cycles, L1s that already had measurable usage and institutional integrations saw 10–50x moves once macro liquidity returned and narrative shifted from “speculation” to “settlement layer.” A move through the $0.09–0.12 zone (prior range highs and Fibonacci retracement areas) would open the path toward the mid-$0.30s and higher. From there, a sustained risk-on environment plus continued volume growth on the live use cases above is what turns $1 into a realistic intermediate target and $3 into a cycle high rather than a meme. What is already being built – The pieces for higher sustained volume are in place: digital carbon registries with major standards bodies, production supply-chain tracking at billions of units, institutional collateral workflows, and AI-agent payment primitives. When the next liquidity wave hits, the networks that can absorb real volume without congestion or unpredictable fees are the ones that re-rate. Hedera is one of the few that already demonstrates that capacity in production. This is obviously speculative. Not financial advice. But the path from $0.067 to $3 is volume + narrative + cycle, not a single announcement or partnership. The volume infrastructure is already running. $HBAR #Hedera #Crypto #Bitcoin #XRP $XLM #BullMarket
— Bmendo (@Bmendo_X) November 8, 2026
Hedera is also being integrated into Verra’s carbon-market infrastructure through Guardian. The project connects Guardian with Verra’s Project Hub to digitize methodologies and improve monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon projects.
Then there is Avery Dennison’s atma.io platform. Hedera has previously reported that the platform manages more than 22 billion connected products, with its DLT integration designed to record product lifecycle and sustainability information.
These examples give Bmendo’s thesis something many aggressive price predictions lack: measurable enterprise use already exists.
Read also: Is It Time to Buy Hedera? Here’s What This HBAR Bull Gets Right – and Wrong
But $3 HBAR Needs Much More Than Adoption Headlines
The valuation math is where the prediction gets difficult.
HBAR at $1 would already imply a circulating valuation of roughly $44 billion.
At $3, that becomes around $133 billion.
That would place Hedera among the largest crypto networks in the market, meaning enterprise integrations alone would not be enough.
HBAR would need a much stronger crypto cycle, substantially higher investor demand, continued network usage and a narrative powerful enough to push capital toward Hedera.
There is also a difference between infrastructure being available and that infrastructure generating enough economic demand for HBAR to support such a valuation.
That distinction is critical.
Bmendo also cited Hedera’s work around AI-agent payments. The technology is real, but Hedera says Agent Accounts are entering limited testnet validation in Q4 2026, with public testnet access planned for Q1 2027 and mainnet targeted for Q2 2027.
HBAR Price Needs to Clear $0.09-$0.12 First
Before $1 or $3 becomes relevant, the immediate chart has a much simpler challenge.
HBAR is currently near $0.067 and has lost about 7% over the past week and roughly 26% over the past month.
Bmendo identifies approximately $0.09-$0.12 as the first important recovery zone.
That makes sense as a practical checkpoint.
A move back through that region would show that HBAR is escaping its current depressed range. From there, the analyst sees the mid-$0.30s as a possible next stage before $1 becomes a serious longer-term target.
That is a much more useful roadmap than jumping directly from $0.067 to $3.
The $3 prediction is speculative and would need an exceptional risk-on environment.
But Bmendo’s core argument is more interesting than the number itself: Hedera already has real infrastructure and institutional use cases in place. The question is if the next crypto cycle can turn that usage into enough demand for HBAR to justify a completely different valuation.

Nothing is new with Cardano in the new week – still a lot of selling pressure.
ADA is trading around $0.18 after losing roughly 6% over the past seven days and more than 20% over the past month. The latest selloff pushed price toward $0.1776, its lowest level on the attached 2-hour chart.
The decline was largely part of the broader crypto deleveraging move rather than a Cardano-specific failure. ADA dropped almost 8% during one particularly violent stretch on November 5 as leveraged longs were flushed across the market.
That leaves Cardano in a simple position this week: bulls first need to stop the decline before talking about a larger recovery.
Cardano Chart Analysis: $0.177-$0.180 Is the First Support Zone
The 2-hour chart remains decisively bearish.
ADA has been forming lower highs and lower lows since trading above $0.28 in early October. Even the rebound toward $0.20 earlier this month was quickly rejected.
The immediate support zone is now roughly $0.177-$0.180.
Price already touched $0.1776 before bouncing slightly, and external technical data also places first support around $0.179.

A sustained break below this area would expose approximately $0.174 first, followed by a wider $0.169-$0.172 zone. Current technical data also identifies $0.174 as the next pivot support if ADA closes beneath $0.18.
Resistance is much clearer.
The first area bulls need to reclaim is around $0.185-$0.188.
Above that, $0.193-$0.200 becomes the more important barrier because it contains the recent breakdown zone and the psychological $0.20 level.
Until ADA gets back above $0.20, the larger structure remains weak.

ADA Momentum Is Close to Oversold
The indicators show why a short-term bounce is possible even though the trend remains bearish.
The fastest RSI on the attached chart is around 31, while the medium and slower readings sit near 35 and 34.
That puts momentum close to oversold territory.
CCI is even weaker at roughly -103, which shows that ADA has moved well below its recent statistical average.
MACD is still negative, with both lines below zero, and the histogram remains slightly red.
That is the main reason I would not call the bottom yet.
The chart is stretched enough for a bounce, but momentum has not actually turned bullish.
Cardano Price Prediction for This Week
The most likely outcome is stabilization around current levels followed by an attempt to recover some of the recent losses.
Scenario Probability ADA range this week What would drive it Base case 50% $0.177-$0.195 Support holds, selling slows and ADA consolidates below $0.20 Bullish case 25% $0.195-$0.210 ADA reclaims $0.188-$0.193 and crypto sentiment improves Bearish case 25% $0.165-$0.177 $0.177 fails and another market-wide selloff hits altcoins
My base case is therefore sideways-to-slightly-higher price action rather than an immediate reversal.
A move back above $0.188 would be the first useful sign of strength.
Reclaiming $0.193-$0.200 would change the short-term picture much more meaningfully.
If $0.177 breaks first, however, the chart leaves room for another leg toward the low-$0.17s.
Cardano News This Week
The ADA price action has been poor, but development activity continues.
One of the biggest updates came from DijkstraNet, which successfully hard-forked to protocol version 12 using Node 11.2. The test network is now running Dijkstra-era features as Cardano prepares for its next major protocol era. Node 11.3, expected to combine the wider Dijkstra feature set with Linear Leios, is still being developed.
Cardano’s development teams also continued work on Plutus V4, Dijkstra built-ins and Leios infrastructure during the week.
Another notable point is staking.
Despite the price decline, roughly 58.5% of circulating ADA remains delegated to stake pools, showing that a large part of the supply has not moved despite the market selloff.
So Cardano’s problem this week is not a lack of development news.
It is price structure.
ADA remains technically weak near $0.18, and bulls need to defend $0.177 first before the network’s fundamental progress has any chance of translating into a stronger market recovery.

XRP price enters the new week in a very different position from where it was only a few days ago.
The token traded around $1.24-$1.25 at the beginning of November before briefly rallying above $1.30 and reaching roughly $1.33-$1.34 during the broader crypto rebound.
That move completely unraveled.
XRP fell as low as $1.1477 and is now trading around $1.16. That puts it roughly 6% below its early-November level and about 12%-13% beneath the midweek high.
The broader market crash played a large role, but XRP has also underperformed Bitcoin during several parts of the selloff.
So what could come next between November 8 and November 15?
XRP News This Week Was Better Than the Price
Interestingly, XRP’s fundamental and on-chain news was not nearly as bearish as its chart.
Santiment data showed the number of wallets holding at least 1 million XRP reaching 2,147, the highest level of 2026. Twenty-eight new million-XRP wallets appeared within 10 days. The metric cannot prove fresh whale buying because one entity can control multiple addresses, but it does show that large balances remained resilient during the decline.
Network growth also accelerated. Nearly 8,000 new XRP wallets were created on November 1, one of the strongest days of the year.
There was progress on the XRP Ledger itself as well. The fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment activated on November 4, fixing a vulnerability involving token permissions after validator support reached the necessary threshold.
The weaker point was institutional demand.
XRP ETFs recorded little activity during the week. Data cited by The Coin Republic showed no net flows from November 3 through November 6 after a small $529,510 outflow on November 2. Cumulative net inflows remain around $1.81 billion, but ETFs are currently providing little fresh buying pressure.
That creates an unusual setup: some on-chain signals remain constructive, but price is still dictating the short-term story.

XRP Chart Shows Early Signs of Stabilization
The 2-hour chart is still clearly damaged.
XRP fell almost vertically from above $1.30, sliced through $1.25 and $1.20, and eventually printed a low at $1.1477.
Since then, however, sellers have stopped pushing price materially lower.
Source: CoinAnk
XRP is consolidating around $1.16, and the momentum indicators are starting to change.
The fastest RSI has recovered to roughly 47.6 after reaching deeply oversold territory. The medium and slower readings remain weaker near 37 and 36.
That tells us short-term momentum is improving, but the broader 2H structure has not yet turned bullish.
MACD provides a similar message.
Both the MACD and signal lines remain below zero, but the histogram has turned positive and continues building green bars. That usually means bearish momentum is losing force even before the underlying trend fully reverses.
CCI has also recovered to around -29 after spending time much deeper in negative territory.
Taken together, the indicators point toward seller exhaustion, not yet a confirmed breakout.
XRP Price Prediction for This Week
The first battle is around $1.15.
XRP has already defended roughly $1.147-$1.15 once. Losing it would reopen the bearish structure and put the heavily discussed $1.10-$1.12 area directly in play.
Several recent technical setups have converged around that region. CasiTrades has mapped approximately $1.09-$1.10 as a major Fibonacci zone, and other analysts have pointed toward $1.11 before the psychological $1 level.
On the upside, XRP first needs to reclaim $1.20. The more meaningful resistance comes around $1.24-$1.27, which previously acted as support before the crash.
Scenario Probability XRP range this week What would drive it Base case 50% $1.12-$1.25 XRP stabilizes after the crash but struggles to reclaim broken resistance Bullish case 25% $1.25-$1.33 $1.15 holds, momentum improves and the broader crypto market rebounds Bearish case 25% $0.99-$1.12 $1.147 fails and selling accelerates toward the major $1.09-$1.10 zone
My base case is therefore consolidation with a slight recovery bias rather than another immediate collapse.
The improving MACD histogram and recovering short-term RSI suggest the most aggressive phase of selling may be cooling.
But XRP has a lot of technical damage to repair.
A move above $1.20 would be the first small victory. Reclaiming $1.25-$1.27 would be much more important and could put $1.30 back on the table.
If $1.147 breaks first, however, this week could quickly become about defending $1.10 and, in the worst-case scenario, keeping XRP above $1.

XRP is trading near $1.17 after a brutal correction, but analyst Dark Defender believes the bigger picture still points in the opposite direction.
His latest weekly chart argues that XRP’s run from roughly $0.30 to the $3.66 high was only the first major stage of what he calls Grand Wave 3.
If that Elliott Wave count is correct, the current weakness would be part of a corrective phase before a much larger expansion higher.
Dark Defender describes the next stage as potentially the “biggest wave of a lifetime.”
The $3.66 XRP Rally Was Only the Beginning
The most important part of his chart is how he labels XRP’s previous advance.
Instead of treating the $3.66 high as the completion of the larger bull cycle, he marks it as Wave 1 inside a much bigger five-wave structure.
The current decline toward the $1 area is then shown as Wave 2.
That makes the next projected move Wave 3, which Elliott Wave traders generally expect to be the strongest part of an impulsive sequence.
His chart starts that larger bullish roadmap around the current $1.13 region.
$3.66 arrived from the 30-cent levels, and that run was only the first step of the Grand Wave 3. We set #XRP targets five years ago and flew high where eagles dare. Now we are standing in front of the biggest wave of a lifetime. It has already started, but only some can see it. Today I dissected it on the Weekly, part by part, from $1.13 to $333 and $1,000. I have no fear. Let that sink in. Dark Educational purposes only. Not financial advice.
— Dark Defender (@DefendDark) November 7, 2026
That area also lines up closely with a 50% Fibonacci level near $1.1388, making the low-$1 zone particularly important for his count.
Dark Defender Maps Several Extreme XRP Targets
This is where the chart becomes much more aggressive.
Dark Defender shows a first major Fibonacci extension around $2.90, followed by much larger long-term levels near:
$18.23
$30.30
$74.40
$117.10
$333.12
And eventually, the most extreme extension on the chart reaches roughly $1,043.
These should not be interpreted as near-term targets.
The chart stretches several years into the future and uses large-degree Elliott Wave projections combined with Fibonacci extensions.
The more relevant question today is much simpler: can XRP establish a durable bottom around the current support region?
Why $1.13 Matters Before Any Huge XRP Rally
XRP is already trading close to one of the most important levels on Dark Defender’s chart.
The 50% retracement sits around $1.14, almost exactly where the market is currently trading.
That makes the present zone an important test.
If XRP stabilizes around $1.10-$1.15 and begins building higher lows, Dark Defender’s idea of Wave 2 ending becomes easier to defend.
If price continues falling, however, the path toward his projected Wave 3 would likely need to be reassessed.
The chart is extremely bullish over the long term, but the bullish scenario still depends on the current correction eventually finding a floor.

The Real XRP Story Is the Structure, Not the $1,000 Target
The four-digit target will naturally attract attention, but it is not the most useful part of Dark Defender’s analysis.
The more interesting claim is that XRP’s previous move to $3.66 may have been only the first wave of a much larger cycle.
That interpretation turns the current crash from a potential end of the bull market into a possible large-degree reset.
The next few months should help decide if that idea has merit.
If XRP can defend the low-$1 region and eventually reclaim the previous resistance zone around $1.80-$2.00, the bullish structure becomes much more interesting.
For now, Dark Defender’s chart is making an unusually aggressive claim: the move traders already considered enormous may have been only the opening act.

Cardano is making a fresh push to expand both its DeFi ecosystem and its real-world asset footprint.
At the same time, a separate governance proposal is asking for 22 million ADA, worth roughly $5 million at the proposal’s reference price, to purchase physical copper and tokenize it on-chain.
The two initiatives are very different, but together they show Cardano trying to address one of its biggest weaknesses: turning its large community and treasury into more actual economic activity on the network.
Cardano PRIME Targets $200 Million in New DeFi TVL
The PRIME program is being run by AlphaGrowth and has already been ratified through Cardano governance.
The 120 million ADA allocation is designed to support protocol grants, liquidity incentives, AMM yield programs and money-market integrations across the ecosystem. The program runs for 12 months and includes milestone-based releases, audits and mechanisms to return unused funds to the treasury.
Its most ambitious objective is a $200 million-plus increase in qualifying TVL.
LATEST: Cardano has introduced a 120 million $ADA incentive program aimed at attracting $200 million in new total value locked (TVL). Alpha Growth’s PRIME initiative will support ecosystem expansion through protocol grants, AMM yield subsidies and money market integrations. The $200 million TVL figure is an ambitious growth target, not a guaranteed outcome, as the program seeks to strengthen DeFi activity and liquidity across the Cardano ecosystem.
— CoinTalk Daily (@CoinTalk_Daily) November 7, 2026
That figure is a target, not guaranteed capital entering Cardano.
The distinction matters because incentive programs can boost liquidity temporarily, but the real test will be how much capital stays once rewards decline.
If PRIME succeeds in attracting durable liquidity instead of short-term yield farmers, it could materially change Cardano’s DeFi position.

The Copper Proposal Takes Cardano Into RWAs
The second initiative is more unusual.
Toto Finance is asking Cardano’s treasury for 22 million ADA to establish a strategic copper reserve.
Approximately 14.72 million ADA, or about 67% of the requested budget, would be used to purchase physical COMEX-grade copper. The remaining funds would cover custody, insurance, audits, technology, oversight and execution costs.
Each CuTT token would economically represent one verified pound of copper.
The physical metal would be stored in a COMEX-approved U.S. facility, with reserve attestations intended to provide proof that the tokens are backed by actual inventory.
The plan calls for holding the copper for 18 to 24 months, then selling it and returning net proceeds and unused funds to the Cardano treasury by month 36.
The Copper Economics Are the Hard Part
The concept is interesting, but the economics are demanding.
CoinDesk calculated that copper would need to rise roughly 49.4% for the treasury to recover the full investment if the entire budget is spent and ADA’s dollar value remains unchanged.
That is a much higher hurdle than simply proving that tokenized copper can work technically.
There is also no guarantee that copper prices rise enough, that CuTT gains meaningful adoption, or that the treasury recovers its original ADA value.
The proposal itself acknowledges those risks.
And unlike PRIME, the copper plan is not yet approved.
Current governance data shows the proposal still in voting and facing substantial opposition from DReps, with the approval threshold not yet reached.

China significantly increased its gold reserves in October, and added another major source of support to a market that just recorded its strongest week in months.
Official reserve data released on November 7 shows that China’s gold holdings increased from 77.47 million ounces in September to 78.30 million ounces in October.
That is an increase of 830,000 ounces, or roughly 25.8 tonnes, and extends China’s gold-buying streak to 24 consecutive months.
It was also China’s largest monthly addition since September 2023.
China Bought More Gold Even as Prices Fell
The timing is particularly interesting.
Gold had a difficult October, falling nearly 7% during the month and briefly dropping below $4,000 per ounce.
Instead of slowing its purchases, the People’s Bank of China increased them.
China has now added approximately 129 tonnes of gold during the first 10 months of 2026. Its official reserves stand at around 2,435 tonnes based on the latest reported 78.3 million ounces.
The buying is also part of a broader central-bank trend.
Global central banks purchased a net 321 tonnes during the third quarter, the strongest quarter since late 2024. China was the largest disclosed buyer during that period, adding roughly 63 tonnes.
BREAKING: MASSIVE NEWS on #GOLD China added 830,000 oz (25.8 tonnes) to its Gold Reserves in October, 24 consecutive months of increase Highest amount of monthly increase since 9/2023 when PBOC added 840,000 oz of gold This large addition despite China shutdown for a week for National Day holiday In 2026 alone, 4,150,000 oz (129.1 tonnes) have been added to China’s official gold reserve which now stands at 78,300,000 oz (2435.4 tonnes) while reducing UST holding by $93.7B China has been actively reducing UST holding while adding gold reserves 1/2026 +40K oz Gold (Range $4332-5589) +$10.9B UST 2/2026 +30K oz Gold (Range $4400-5248) -$1.1B UST 3/2026 +160K oz Gold (Range $4100-5405) -$40.9B UST 4/2026 +260K oz Gold (Range $4561-4880) -$2.2B UST 5/2026 +320K oz Gold (Range. $4480-4730) +$8.2B UST 6/2026 +480K oz Gold (Range $4008-4519) -$25.9B UST 7/2026 +640K oz Gold (Range $3992-4168) -$15.4B UST 8/2026 +650K oz Gold (Range $4090-4698) -$27.3B UST 9/2026 +740K oz Gold (Range $4168-4540) 10/2026 +830K oz Gold (Range $3879-4217)

That creates a useful floor underneath the longer-term gold story even when speculative traders are selling.
Gold Just Had Its Best Week Since August
China’s reserve data comes after gold staged a powerful rebound this week.
Spot gold finished Friday around $4,074 per ounce, despite falling after stronger-than-expected U.S. payroll data pushed the dollar and Treasury yields higher.
Even with Friday’s decline, gold gained approximately 5.2% for the week, its strongest weekly performance since August.
The recovery accelerated after the U.S. midterm elections as the dollar weakened and Treasury yields initially moved lower.
Gold briefly pushed above $4,100 before Friday’s jobs report interrupted the rally.
That leaves the market in an interesting position.
The short-term macro picture is mixed, but one of the world’s largest central banks continues buying aggressively.

What Happens Next for Gold Price?
The first area to watch is around $4,000-$4,030.
Gold touched an intraday low near $4,033 on Friday before recovering, making that area an immediate test for buyers.
Holding above $4,000 would keep this week’s rebound intact and put the recent $4,100-$4,150 region back in play.
A break below $4,000 would increase the risk of another test of the October lows.
The biggest short-term obstacle remains U.S. monetary policy.
Friday’s strong payroll report pushed the market-implied probability of another December Fed rate increase to roughly 81%, sending both the dollar and Treasury yields higher.
China, however, appears to be looking beyond the next Fed meeting.
Its decision to add 25.8 tonnes during a month when gold was falling shows that the central bank’s accumulation strategy remains intact even during substantial price corrections.
For gold bulls, that may be one of the more important signals underneath this week’s 5% rebound.
