XRP keeps aiming higher

Can Bitcoin peak out?
Is Near Protocol reclaiming the growth?

XRP (XRP): After breaking out from the $1.35 range to a high near $1.70 in late August and consolidating between $1.35–$1.55, XRP has resumed its uptrend, trading near $1.537 with support at $1.45–$1.50 and $1.65–$1.70 as the key barrier to new highs.

Gram (GRAM): After collapsing from nearly $2.90 in May to lows around $1.30, GRAM has surged to $1.63, clearing its 50- and 100-day averages and now testing the declining 200-day average near $1.60 as a potential trend-reversal signal.

Bitcoin (BTC): Trading near $84,900 after pulling back from a peak of $87,400, Bitcoin remains firmly bullish since breaking above $72,000 in mid-August, with support at $80,000–$81,000.

Near Protocol (NEAR): NEAR has rocketed over 200% in a month, from about $1.70 to roughly $5.20, leaving it deeply overbought and extended above its moving averages, with a hold above the $4.00–$4.20 breakout zone.

XRP keeps aiming higher

After a brief consolidation, XRP has resumed its upward trend, trading close to $1.537 after declining from the local high above $1.65 last week. The overall structure is still positive: in late August, XRP made a spectacular breakout from the $1.35 range, reaching as high as $1.70 before settling into a multiweek consolidation between roughly $1.35 and $1.55.

A new leg higher has now replaced that base, and the price briefly tested $1.65 before falling to current levels. In terms of structure, XRP is still trading well above its 50-day moving average, which has curled upward and is currently close to $1.36, while the 200-day average is still in a mild downward trend at $1.35.

Both are converging, which, if the rally continues, frequently signals a bullish crossover. Strong momentum without yet reaching overbought extremes is indicated by the RSI’s elevation in the 60s. A breakback below $1.35 would invalidate the current bullish structure and allow for a retest of the low-$1.30s.

Support is currently located at the $1.45–$1.50 zone, the top of the previous consolidation range. The price action of XRP generally points to continuation. Dips are likely to draw buyers as long as it stays above the previous consolidation range; $1.65–$1.70 is still the crucial barrier to overcome before moving toward new highs.

Gram surprisingly recovers

After a protracted decline, Gram (GRAM) has displayed new signs of life. After a huge surge to almost $2.90 in early May, GRAM plummeted for months, going from above $1.80 to lows of about $1.30 by late summer.

However, the token has experienced a dramatic surge in recent sessions, rising from roughly $1.40 to $1.63 and surpassing both its 50-day and 100-day moving averages for the first time since the summer decline started. The immediate resistance test is now the 200-day average, which is still declining near $1.60.

A clear close above it would indicate the first real trend-reversal signal since May’s blow-off top. Alongside the move, momentum has increased, and the RSI has pushed into the 70s, which is a level that frequently precedes a cooling-off period or pullback but also provides strong confirmation of short-term buying pressure.

For the time being, GRAM’s breakout appears to be an early attempt at reversal within a longer-term downtrend rather than a definitive shift in trend. In the event of a pullback, a hold above $1.50 would bolster the bullish argument, whereas a decline below $1.40 would imply that the rally was only a brief uptick within the ongoing decline.

Can Bitcoin peak out?

Bitcoin is currently trading close to $84,900 after slightly declining from its peak of $87,400 last week. The overall trend is still very bullish: since mid-August, when the price decisively broke above the $72,000 barrier and never looked back, BTC has more than tripled off its early-June lows near $58,000.

The strength of this trend is confirmed by the moving average structure. The 200-day average near $74,000 has flattened and is starting to rise after months of decline, which is a classic sign of a maturing uptrend.

Meanwhile, the 50-day and 100-day averages are both sloping firmly upward and sit well below the current price (around $77,000 and $75,000, respectively). The RSI is in the mid-to-upper 60s, indicating persistent buying pressure without yet displaying overbought extremes.

ByArman Shirinyan

Rather than a trend reversal, the recent decline from $87,400 to the mid-$84,000s appears to be a healthy consolidation following a quick, unbroken rally. The $76,000–$77,000 region is a deeper structural floor, and support is located at the $80,000–$81,000 breakout zone.

The path of least resistance is still to retest and eventually clear $87,000–$88,000 for new highs as long as Bitcoin stays above the low $80,000s.

Is Near Protocol reclaiming the growth?

After rising from about $1.70 in late August, NEAR is currently experiencing an explosive parabolic advance, trading at about $5.20. This represents a move of more than 200 percent in just one month.

Since the breakout started, the rally has been unrelenting, with hardly any red candles breaking the pattern. This has caused the price to move from consolidation into a nearly vertical trajectory. The 50-day moving average is close to $2.90, the 100-day is close to $2.40, and the 200-day is close to $2.10, all of which are significantly below the current price.

This kind of move has left NEAR incredibly extended in relation to its own trend indicators. This abnormally large gap usually indicates an overheated, unsustainable short-term move. The fact that the RSI is deep in overbought territory in the high 70s confirms that the token will either undergo a significant correction or a protracted consolidation to allow the moving averages to catch up.

Similar vertical spikes have historically caused NEAR to exhibit a tendency for sharp mean reversion, as demonstrated by the May run-up to $2.90 that was swiftly unwound. Even though there is real, strong momentum in the current move, there is a greater chance of a swift, violent pullback at these levels.

The bullish structure would be maintained by holding above the $4.00–$4.20 breakout zone, while a breakback below it would indicate that the parabolic phase has ended.
