$XRP finally coils for breakout

After three months of tight consolidation and repeated rejections at the $1.45 to $1.47 resistance zone, $XRP is coiling for what analysts believe could be an explosive breakout.

After a brutal sell-off earlier in the year, $XRP has spent the last quarter tightly consolidatingHence, some analysts believe that a violent, volatile move is essentially imminent. Prominent cryptocurrency analyst “Dom” (@traderview2) has said that $XRP has been “going sideways for nearly 3 months now.”

According to the analyst, a decisive market acceptance above the $1.47 level could trigger a rapid upward surge (provided Bitcoin ($BTC) can actually supply the necessary bullish momentum for this to happen).

After a massive capitulation wick down to the $1.10 region in early February, $XRP has established a sequence of higher lows. This is visually represented by the yellow ascending trendline acting as dynamic support.

$TON Rockets 69% following Telegram integration news

Toncoin has continued to garner hype and optimism across the social space since the big Telegram news, pushing its price to substantially outperform all top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

While the ongoing market resurgence has fueled a broad rally in the price of most crypto assets, Toncoin’s price is growing at a remarkable pace, all thanks to a major development proposed by Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov.

Following the news, Toncoin has continued to garner significant traction, with its price surging from around $1.30 on May 3 to over $2.30 as of the time of writing.

The rapid price surge marks an increase of over 69% in the price of Toncoin in just about 3 days. Although the crypto market is experiencing a broad price rally, the explosive surge in $TON’s price is majorly attributed to the hype surrounding the big Telegram news.

Bollinger’s model says ‘buy’ Bitcoin

Legendary technical analyst John Bollinger has turned bullish on Bitcoin ($BTC) after the flagship coin reclaimed the $80,000.

The creator of the famed Bollinger Bands indicator took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that his trend model for the flagship cryptocurrency has turned positive.

Acting on this signal, Bollinger confirmed that his fund’s “Tactica” program has initiated a new position and is now “fully invested” in $BTC.

The vote of confidence is quite significant given the strong track record of accurate predictions that had been made by Bollinger. The recent price action might not be a mere dead-cat bounce after all.
