XRP’s price has failed to capitalize on a major move higher this week and has retreated to about $1.44, roughly in line with how the rest of the market has behaved during the same period.

According to popular technical analyst CRYPTOWZRD, the altcoin might be poised for another leg up, but there are conditions to be met before that happens.

Ripple Price Analysis: XRP Mirrors BTC

In his last technical analysis on XRP’s price, the analyst outlined that the altcoin closed yesterday’s daily candle indecisively, while its weekly candle on the CME chart closed with a pattern known as a gravestone doji.

Going forward, he said that a move above the $1.55 daily resistance could trigger a quick rally to the pivotal $2 level. However, when it came to intraday trading, he admitted that the price action looked “choppy and slow.”

That said, the analyst believes XRP must hold above the current $1.43 support area, which could offer upside.

The Optimal Outcome for XRP’s Price

In light of the above, there might even be a better trading setup for the altcoin in the future. The trader said that “a short-term bearish move below this support [read: $1.43] followed by a bullish turn would offer a better long opportunity toward the $1.54 resistance or higher.”

He also pointed out that “holding below $1.43 would offer a further decline and short opportunities.”

In any case, the market appears to be waiting for a mature trade opportunity before engaging in any further actions.

There might be some positive signs forming, though. Net buying activity in long positions seems to be gradually increasing, which could be interpreted as a bullish signal.

Fed’s 25bps cut sparks Bitcoin repricing: October breakout ahead?

The post Fed’s 25bps cut sparks Bitcoin repricing: October breakout ahead? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Journalist Posted: September 18, 2025 Key Takeaways How is BTC reacting to the Fed’s rate cut? Bitcoin is grinding +0.72%, range-bound, with flows measured and a potential long squeeze in play. What’s setting up Bitcoin for year-end? Dovish Fed signals, seasonal tailwinds, and aligned macro flows keep BTC primed for a potential ATH. No parabolic moves, just Bitcoin [BTC] grinding +0.72% intraday as the FOMC delivers its first 25 bps cut of 2025. The tape is cautious, with range-bound action signaling traders are sitting tight. What’s the takeaway? Market participants are still sizing up Q4, with Fed Chair Powell’s mixed signals on future rate cuts keeping flows measured, as Matt Mena, Crypto Research Strategist at 21Shares, told AMBCrypto. “The cut itself was widely priced in – what mattered more was the Fed’s updated dot plot. Futures markets had been discounting only a 50% chance of 4–5 cuts through the end of next year.” He added, “While today’s 25bps cut provided the spark, it is the path implied by the dots – more than the cut itself – that may set the stage for Bitcoin to challenge new highs into year-end.” Fed’s dot plot shapes BTC’s long-term positioning Bitcoin traders are leaning on the Fed’s dot plot to size up positioning.  According to the latest projections, the Fed is signaling two more 25bps cuts by year-end, pushing the target range down to 3.50%–3.75% from 4.00%–4.25%. In short, Bitcoin’s long-term positioning remains dovish. Powell’s inflation caution capped the short-term squeeze, keeping the tape range-bound. Yet the dot plot shows most Fed officials leaning toward two more cuts, keeping BTC positioned to grind toward new highs by year-end. “The dots leaned more dovish, signaling the Fed is open to accelerating the pace of easing if conditions demand it. That repricing risk is now…
