XRP is going through a decisive phase. Priced at $2.81, Ripple’s token is evolving in a weakened crypto market, undermined by persistent volatility. Technical indicators paint a mixed picture: selling pressure dominates in the short term, but some long-term moving averages indicate a possible recovery. Between investor caution and hopes for a rebound, XRP is now at a strategic turning point that captures analysts' attention.

While the entire crypto market oscillates between consolidation and correction, Dogecoin stands out with a unique behavior. Its open interest, a barometer of open positions on futures contracts, remains stable at a historically high level, nearing 16 billion DOGE, or approximately 3.36 billion dollars. This threshold is remarkable in a climate where speculative activity is significantly declining across the majority of altcoins.

At this back-to-school period, major banks are revising their outlook. Faced with a clear slowdown in the American economy, the idea of two to three rate cuts this year is gradually taking hold. Investors, hanging on the Fed’s slightest signals, see in this change of course a potential turning point.

The latest revision of the S&P 500 does more than just redistribute the cards. While the entry of Robinhood, a symbol of accessible finance, was welcomed, the discretionary exclusion of Strategy, despite meeting all technical criteria, is surprising. Behind this choice, a troubling reality emerges: certain companies exposed to bitcoin still seem persona non grata in major indices. This decision raises questions about the impartiality of the committee and the real place given to the crypto ecosystem.

Is bitcoin approaching a decisive turning point? As signs of fatigue accumulate, a new analysis rekindles the specter of an imminent bearish cycle. According to a fractal modeling aligned with historical four-year cycles, October could mark the beginning of a deep correction. After the euphoria of the highs, the market enters a phase of uncertainty where every technical signal is scrutinized. This scenario, increasingly discussed among analysts, calls into question the strength of the current upward trend.

The ghost of 2017 is haunting speculators again. While some are betting on a comeback of XRP, comparisons with the last bull run are multiplying. However, the current market has little to do with that of yesterday. New dynamics, increased competition, divergent technical signals: does the analogy still hold? Behind the hope of a bullish rebound, a colder reading of the data tells a different story.

While bitcoin and Ethereum take center stage, Solana (SOL) quietly establishes itself as the new asset to watch. Driven by strong technical signals and record interest in derivative markets, the crypto is now assigned a target of $1,000. However, behind this bullish momentum lies a paradox: real activity on the network is collapsing. Between speculative frenzy and on-chain exhaustion, Solana intrigues as much as it questions.

September, long synonymous with a downturn for bitcoin, seems to be losing its curse. This historically unfavorable month for risky assets is starting, for the third consecutive year, a contrary dynamic. Supported by a flexible macroeconomic context and structuring institutional flows, the market is giving signs of maturity. The queen of cryptos no longer suffers the calendar: she redefines it.

Two weeks before a crucial Federal Reserve meeting, the governor, expected to succeed Jerome Powell in 2026, stood out with an unambiguous statement. He wants a rate cut as early as September. In an interview with CNBC, he said the US economy requires an immediate adjustment, breaking with the caution shown by other monetary officials.

Despite a major update to version 23 of its protocol, Pi Network struggles to spark market enthusiasm. In a sector where every innovation is scrutinized to revive bullish momentum, the announcement of technical advances inspired by Stellar Protocol 23 and the integration of new functionalities were not enough to boost its token price. This dissonance between technological progress and stock market inertia raises questions about the project's ability to convert its evolutions into real value.

Since the beginning of September, bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have captured the attention of a crypto market suspended between hope and concern. While Wall Street falters, the two leaders show intriguing resilience. Yet, behind this apparent calm, technical indicators reveal growing tension. Between contradictory signals and increasingly polarized forecasts, traders are preparing for volatility that could make September a decisive month for the market's future.

Solana is about to change dimension. On September 2, the network massively validated Alpenglow, an ambitious overhaul of its consensus protocol. Much more than a technical optimization, this update marks a strategic break: offering performance worthy of traditional finance while maintaining the foundations of Web3. In an ecosystem where every millisecond counts, Solana wants to take a lead over the competition and establish itself as the reference infrastructure for decentralized markets.

What if the next crypto cycle was not only bullish but a historic turning point? At the WAIB Summit 2025, several experts stated that a single cycle could be enough to increase crypto users from 659 million in December 2024 to 5 billion users within ten years. A global adoption underway, driven not only by speculation but by the rise of concrete use cases, the maturity of blockchain technologies, and renewed interest from individuals as well as institutions.
