Recent analyses largely agree that retail investors have yet to return to the crypto market, even though Bitcoin has reached new all-time highs. However, there are new signs that Bitcoin’s price surge may soon lure back retail participants.
But is it wise to start buying Bitcoin now that it has entered six-figure territory? Analysts are divided on the matter.
According to Bitbo’s calculations, if a retail investor had invested $1,000 per month in Bitcoin over the past two years, they would have accumulated approximately 0.4588 BTC, yielding a 114.8% return.
This result demonstrates that Bitcoin continues to reward long-term investors. While Bitcoin’s performance may no longer match previous cycles, it still appeals to anyone looking to preserve value amid inflation concerns.
But what if this strategy starts now, with Bitcoin already priced above $100,000?
Recently, an investor named Steve—who openly admits he’s not a hardcore Bitcoin fan—announced that he would invest $1,000 per month in Bitcoin throughout Trump’s presidential term.
That amount reflects the average contribution of a retail investor. Steve’s decision raises a question: Could this signal a broader movement of retail investors preparing to flood into Bitcoin?
Jake Claver, managing director at Digital Ascension Group, believes this is the worst possible time for such a strategy.
“This is the cycle top. Might have 10% left in it before the next bear market. You should DCA at the bottom of the bear market. Buying anything other than BTC in crypto right now would be better, prior to Alt season. The rotation out of BTC has already started,” Jake Claver explained.
However, Udi Wertheimer, a well-known crypto investor on X, holds a different view. He argues that it’s not about price levels—it’s about making the right decision at the right time, even in uncertainty.
“The most expensive mistake you can make is refusing to buy Bitcoin at $120,000 because you sold it at $30,000.
Me and my friends sold all our Bitcoin at $100 and only started buying back around $500–$1,000. You think we’re losing sleep over it? Don’t be stupid. Do whatever you need to trick yourself out of that attitude. We’re going so much higher, it’s not going to matter that you missed 4x along the way,” Udi Wertheimer said.
Only time will tell whether Steve’s strategy works. However, the debates surrounding this DCA approach highlight two opposing forces in the market. One side remains cautious, anchored in past cycles. The other embraces current momentum and positive signals.
Data from CryptoQuant offers a more optimistic perspective.
A recent analysis by Joohyun Ryu on the platform suggests that Bitcoin hasn’t yet entered the euphoria stage typical of past market tops. Instead, he believes we might be in the early phase of what he calls “the last dance”—a period of strong growth before the final peak.
This view is based on the “Greed Indicator,” which is still at moderate levels, far below the peak in 2021. Ryu also points to the rHODL ratio, currently at just 32%.
“A representative example is the rHODL ratio, currently positioned at a modest 32%. This metric, traditionally indicative of long-term holder behavior and the distribution of wealth across different investor cohorts, suggests a continued reluctance among retail participants (often referred to as ‘prawns’ in market vernacular) to fully engage with the market. Historically, periods of true market euphoria have been characterized by substantial inflows from retail investors, a dynamic not yet prominently observed,” Joohyun Ryu explained.
If Ryu is correct, Steve’s decision could be smart—an effort to capitalize before Bitcoin potentially surges to new highs. What remains, however, is the crucial question: When is the right time to exit, before the next bear market sets in?

Crypto analyst XRP Captain has provided an ultra bullish outlook for the XRP price. He suggested that the crypto could reach triple digits in this market cycle while asserting that such an ambitious price target is realistic.
In an X post, XRP Captain stated that $100 is a realistic target for the XRP price in this bull run. However, the analyst failed to mention when exactly XRP could reach this ambitious target or what could spark the parabolic rally to this price target.
This prediction comes just as crypto Egrag Crypto stated that XRP will reach double digits in this market cycle and then triple digits in the next cycle. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Dark Defender has provided an even more bullish outlook for the coin than XRP Captain.
Dark Defender recently predicted that the XRP price could rally to $333 if it mirrors its performance in the 2017 bull run. Analysts like Egrag Crypto have also alluded to the coin’s historical performance in 2017 as the reason it could enjoy massive gains in this bull run.
In an X post, Dark Defender stated that the XRP price is forming Wave 1 on the daily chart. He remarked that he expects the crypto to move towards $2.42 first. The analyst affirmed that the real momentum will start after XRP stands above the Ichimoku clouds.
The analyst then highlighted $2.22 and $2.04 as the support levels to watch out for while the targets are $4.2932 and $5.8563. As CoinGape reported, crypto analyst Rose Premium also predicted that XRP could soon reach $5 as BlackRock gears up for ETF filing.
Egrag Crypto stated that XRP’s dominance is showing tremendous strength. He noted that the dominance is on the verge of closing above the 2021 high of 6%, surpassing Fib 0.6, which he considers a critical level and a super bullish sign once this close happens.
The analyst further remarked that if the dominance successfully closes above Fib 0.5, it could surge straight to Fib 0.888, which is his target of 15 to 20%. He added that this would align with the highs from 2015. It is worth mentioning that the Egrag Crypto previously asserted that XRP will flip Ethereum to become the second-largest crypto by market cap.
In another X post, the analyst stated that XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is steadily ticking upwards and that it is just a matter of time before market participants witness a celestial move.
Egrag Crypto also highlighted key RSI targets. He stated that 70 is for bullish confirmation, 77 is for bullish momentum, 85 is for bullish continuation, and 89 is for a parabolic rally for the XRP price.

Over the past few months, Onyxcoin’s (XCN) price has struggled to break free from a persistent downtrend. Despite some optimistic sentiment from investors, recent attempts at an upward breakout have been unsuccessful.
The broader market conditions remain bearish, which is dampening the cryptocurrency’s price action and limiting recovery potential.
The NVT (Network Value to Transaction) ratio for Onyxcoin is currently at a four-month high, which highlights an imbalance between the network value and the asset’s market value. High NVT ratios indicate that although the network is gaining attention, actual transactions are weak.
This is a bearish signal because it suggests that the hype surrounding Onyxcoin is not backed by substantial user activity or adoption. Consequently, the altcoin’s recent price movements are driven more by speculative interest rather than organic growth, making it difficult for the coin to escape its current downtrend.
Onyxcoin’s overall macro momentum also looks concerning. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently below the neutral mark of 50.0, signaling that the cryptocurrency is in a bearish zone.
The RSI has been weak for some time, reflecting investor pessimism and weak market sentiment. This bearish momentum is likely to continue, especially given that the broader cryptocurrency market is also showing weak performance, reinforcing the downward trend for XCN. The lack of positive momentum in the broader market further affects Onyxcoin’s ability to recover.
Currently trading at $0.0122, Onyxcoin is holding just above the critical support of $0.0120. The coin has been trapped in a nearly two-month-long downtrend, and unless there is a significant shift in market conditions, this downtrend is expected to persist.
The next key support level for Onyxcoin is at $0.0100. Given the ongoing bearish indicators, it seems likely that the price will fall to this level, extending the downtrend. If the broader market conditions fail to show signs of improvement, Onyxcoin could see further declines, possibly testing even lower support levels.
However, the bearish outlook could be invalidated if Onyxcoin manages to breach its downtrend line and push past the $0.0150 mark. Successfully flipping this resistance into support would signal a potential recovery and could lead the price to $0.0182 or higher.
