Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $74,500 after a sharp recovery from early April lows, but multiple technical signals across timeframes suggest the rally may be losing steam at a historically significant resistance zone. The move marks a recovery of over 15% from the $64,000 area touched in early April, reigniting hopes of a broader trend The post Bitcoin Surges to $74,500 — But Triple Divergence Signals the Rally Could Be Over appeared first on BeInCrypto.

XRP sentiment among retail investors has declined to severe lows as fear and doubt continue to plague the market. The cryptocurrency has seen continuous declines in its price since reaching a high above $3 in 2025. This poor performance has triggered rapid sell-offs and weakened XRP’s market structure to the point that its short-term direction remains uncertain. Nevertheless, new reports suggest that XRP is now sitting at sentiment levels that previously preceded massive price rallies. If historical trends repeat perfectly, the cryptocurrency could be gearing up for a highly anticipated price reversal.  Sentiment Hit Levels Tied To Past Rallies In an X post on April 13, the market intelligence platform Santiment disclosed that XRP’s Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) has reached its third-highest level in the past two years. Retail investors appear to be shifting away from the cryptocurrency as its price has continued to trend downward and consolidate at lower levels for months.  Related Reading: It’s Too Early For A Bitcoin Price Bottom, Here’s What You Should Be Looking At Interestingly, Santiment’s data shows that the rising fear and uncertainty over XRP’s price outlook may not be entirely negative. In the X post, Santiment noted that historically, when bullish comments about XRP get replaced by this high level of bearishness, the probability of a relief rally increases significantly. The market intelligence platform noted that the reason for this contradictory reaction is that prices tend to move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectations. The accompanying chart shows that in February 2025, XRP experienced similar levels of bearishness and then rebounded sharply. The same trend was observed in October 2025, before the cryptocurrency skyrocketed.  With most retail investors finally turning their backs on XRP after it crashed by more than 63% in nine months, Santiment reveals that this kind of signal could be capitalized on if investors wait longer. If historical trends play out as the market intelligence platform suggests, then XRP could be preparing for a major bullish reversal soon.  XRP Sparks Another Brief Rally XRP has experienced a brief bounce, climbing more than 3% in the last 24 hours and over 4% over the past seven days. However, this increase has been unable to drive its price back toward the $1.4 resistance level.  Related Reading: Why A Bitcoin Price Breakdown To $50,000 Could Be Important For Long-Term Bullishness Data from CoinMarketCap shows that the XRP price rose this week primarily due to a broader crypto rally led by Bitcoin. The surge in Bitcoin’s price was fueled by dovish signals from the Bank of Japan (BOJ) that slightly eased macro pressure on risk assets.   Aside from these developments, XRP currently lacks strong bullish catalysts to drive its price higher. The cryptocurrency’s weak structure, combined with ongoing geopolitical tensions, has been a major contributor to investors’ negative sentiment and growing panic.  Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Previous bear markets left scars that are hard to ignore. The 2017 crash wiped out more than 80% of Bitcoin’s value. The 2021 collapse took nearly 77%. So when a fresh wave of analysts began calling for a drop to $50,000, the warnings carried weight — at least on paper. Related Reading: TRUMP Buying Frenzy Builds Ahead Of Mar-A-Lago Power Event A Different Kind Of Cycle Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research, said the $50,000 level was being eyed as the last major buying opportunity before any real recovery could take hold. A drop to that price, he said, would represent a “healthy cycle reset” given the pressure from broader economic forces and weak movement of capital into crypto. But Ruck also raised a point that separates this downturn from past ones: Bitcoin is already down roughly 40% from its record high, and this time around, large institutions are involved in ways they simply weren’t before. That changes the math. Prior crashes were driven mostly by retail traders — ordinary people buying and panic-selling. Institutional money behaves differently, and consistent buying pressure from that side of the market may be putting a floor under prices that didn’t exist in earlier cycles. “There is a chance this cycle might not reach an idealized 60% drawdown,” Ruck said, pointing to what he called a distinctively macro-structured market environment. Bitcoin: the big flush… I don’t think we’ve had it yet I don’t think $60,000 was the bottom You can pray for it of course 😈 but it won’t help Trend is still down The few % bounces are tiny if you zoom out I will reconsider this stance in case bull strength returns It’s just… — Ivan on Tech 🍳📈💰 Head Trader @ Bullmania (@IvanOnTech) April 13, 2026 Trader and author Ivan Liljeqvist posted to X that Bitcoin had yet to experience what he called “the big flush.” He said he didn’t believe $60,000 marked the bottom, and that the overall trend remained pointed downward. The small bounces seen along the way, he argued, looked minor against the bigger price picture. Analyst Merlijn Enkelaar echoed that view, suggesting Bitcoin was entering a second bear phase that could push prices to $50,000 before any wider distribution of gains takes place. THREE PHASES. BITCOIN ABOUT TO ENTERTHE SECOND. Accumulation: done. Manipulation: loading. Distribution: $150K. Pending. $70K is the decision. Hold it: manipulation is short. Lose it: $50K first. They ran this playbook once already. You watched it happen. pic.twitter.com/yJMAeA6Tfh — Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) April 13, 2026 Geopolitical Tensions Drive Swings Crypto prices don’t move in a vacuum. A temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran sent Bitcoin briefly above $75,000 — the kind of jump that happens when fear lifts, even for a moment. US President Donald Trump announced the two-week pause in hostilities, and markets responded quickly. But the relief didn’t last. Peace talks broke down over the weekend, and by Monday Bitcoin had slipped back below $71,000 after Trump ordered a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Rising consumer prices, reported in Friday’s CPI data, added further weight. Bitcoin’s all-time high stands at $126,198, set in October 2025. At current prices around $72,500 to $74,600, that puts the drawdown at roughly 40% to 44% — deep, but still well short of the 60% collapse that some models suggest a full bear market requires. BTC STILL LOOKS SUPER BEARISH HTF Weekly short imbalances were filled and rn we can only go to 1M imbalance, which is ~$80K Right after it, I am waiting for a final huge dump to one of my targets: $59K or $50K Either way last dump is coming Notifs on, I’ll call exact bottom pic.twitter.com/twHr5VhxRr — symbiote (@cryptosymbiiote) April 13, 2026 Analysts Split On What Comes Next One analyst posting under the name “symbiote” called the chart “super bearish” on longer time frames, saying a final large drop to either $59,000 or $50,000 was still coming. Others are less certain the floor hasn’t already been set. Related Reading: Dollar’s Shrinking Value Adds Fuel To XRP Bull Case: Finance Expert What makes this cycle harder to read is the mix of forces pulling in both directions. Institutional investment and ETF inflows provide steady demand. Global conflict, inflation data, and uncertain monetary policy cut against that. Neither side has clearly hit the proverbial bullseye. Bitcoin touched a low of around $66,000 in early April before recovering. Whether that low holds — or whether the market has another leg down before it finds real footing — remains an open question that even the most watched voices in crypto can’t agree on.

The expectation that the Dogecoin price will cross $1 is not new, especially for investors who witnessed the historic 36,000% rally in 2021. This rally which was spurred on by billionaire Elon Musk had seen the meme coin rise from less than $0.03 to over $0.7. While this had shown Musk’s influence, it had also shown the potential of meme coins like Dogecoin to move rapidly to new all-time highs. Thus, triggering the expectation that the meme coin could see a similar run. Dogecoin At $1 Is Simply Expected Over the years, countless investors and analysts have predicted that the Dogecoin price will reach $1. So far, it seems less of a matter of if and merely a matter of when. Some had speculated that the advent of Dogecoin ETFs would trigger the move, but this did not happen, despite DOGE ETFs now trading in the market. Related Reading: What The Bitcoin Relief Rally Above $71,000 Says About Where The Price Is Headed Given the disappointing performance of the Dogecoin ETFs, the focus has now shifted toward other factors that could drive the Dogecoin price to this milestone. Crypto analyst Crypto Patel also believes that the DOGE price is headed for $1, but this will only happen if there is another meme coin season. A meme coin season simply refers to a period of time when meme coins such as Dogecoin are rising rapidly. This term was first coined back in 2021, following Dogecoin’s initial run when rivals like Shiba Inu popped into the scene. By the time players like SAFEMOON entered the stage, it was a full-blown meme coin season where new coins created as “jokes” rose to unimaginable heights. Dogecoin, being the largest and leading meme coin in the space, has usually set the tone for the meme coin season. However, the last meme coin season saw a complete deviation from the Dogecoin dominance, with investors favoring coins created on the Solana blockchain instead. While the DOGE price had seen a run-up during this time, it was not as expected, with the leading meme coin being unable to break its previous all-time high. This suggested a move away toward newer, ‘shinier’ meme coins with more profit potential. Related Reading: Why Is Bullishness Around Hyperliquid On The Rise Again? Given this, for Dogecoin to see a move that would take it above $1, there would have to be a move toward the ‘old way’. This entails the meme coin season starting with DOGE and then spreading to the other tokens, instead of what was seen between 2024 and 2025. The analyst says that once this meme coin season happens though, then the Dogecoin price would be seeing prices between $1 and $2. The lower end of this prediction would mean a 1,000% increase and the higher end leaning on an over 2,000% increase. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
