The broader crypto market is holding steady going into the final days of June, with the total market capitalization rising modestly to $3.29 trillion. Despite this, trading volume has slipped by over 15%, suggesting reduced participation heading into the weekend. The Fear & Greed Index rests at a neutral 49, hinting at market indecision. Talking about bluechip coins, while Bitcoin is up 0.28% at $107,327, Ethereum is down slightly, and XRP shines with a 5% daily gain. Join me as I explore their technicals for a week-ahead price prediction.
Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction
On the daily chart, BTC is consolidating just beneath the upper Bollinger Band at $110,539.68. The RSI stands at 56.30, suggesting mild bullish momentum, but still within a neutral zone. The price is currently holding above the 20-day SMA at $106,002, which is acting as immediate support.
The sideways movement and low volatility on the chart hint at a potential breakout, but direction remains uncertain. A decisive close above $108,000 could trigger a rally toward $110,500, while a rejection here might drag BTC back to $106,000 or even the lower band near $101,500.
The largest altcoin, Ethereum, is trading below the 20-day SMA at $2,508, showing signs of weakening momentum. The RSI has just bounced from oversold levels, now reading 47.10, suggesting early signs of a reversal attempt. However, ETH remains trapped within a narrow channel on the daily timeframe.
If bulls manage to push the price above $2,500 next week, ETH could revisit $2,650. On the flip side, failure to hold $2,390 could open the door to further downside toward $2,250 or even $2,200, where the lower Bollinger Band rests.
XRP has broken above its mid-Bollinger band and is attempting a push toward the upper band at $2.31. The RSI has jumped to 51.05, showing strengthening bullish momentum. This move comes on the back of a sharp rebound from the $2.07 low, a level that has acted as strong support this month.
A continued rally above $2.22 could push XRP to test $2.31 and even $2.40 in the coming days. However, if buyers lose steam, support lies at $2.17, followed by the lower Bollinger Band around $2.02.
Yes, if the bulls hold the momentum, the BTC price could surge to a maximum of $110,500 by the end of next week.
Is Ethereum weakening compared to Bitcoin and XRP?
Yes, Ethereum is underperforming slightly. It’s trading below key averages, while BTC consolidates and XRP shows stronger upside momentum.
Will XRP hit $3 next week?
It is highly unlikely unless there is a major catalyst. XRP could test $2.40–$2.50, but $3 would require a strong breakout supported by volume and sentiment shift.
Arthur Britto, one of the original creators of Ripple and the XRP Ledger, posted on social media for the first time in 14 years. This unexpected activity created a wave of curiosity across the XRP community. Why now? Was something wrong? Or was something big about to happen?
As questions started flying, Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, stepped in to clear the air. And he did it with his usual mix of honesty and humor.
David Schwartz Clears the Air
To clear up the confusion, Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, confirmed that Britto really made the post. But Schwartz didn’t just stop there. He then joked about the possible reason behind Britto’s sudden tweet.
He said he thinks Britto set up a “deadman switch” years ago—a kind of safety plan that would send private keys to him if Britto didn’t post for 15 years and forgot to turn it off.
My favorite theory for @ahbritto‘s mysterious post is that many, many years ago he set up a deadman switch to send the private keys to his XRPL accounts to me if he doesn’t post for 15 years and he can’t remember how to shut it off.
— David ‘JoelKatz’ Schwartz (@JoelKatz) June 24, 2025
While the comment was clearly made in a funny tone, it gave the community something important, confirmation that Britto’s account was not compromised and the post was intentional.
Why This Matters to the XRP Community
Arthur Britto is seen as one of the most mysterious figures in Ripple’s history. He’s long been associated with the bold idea that XRP was “designed to reach $10,000.” His complete silence over the years only added to that mystery.
So when he finally posted, it got everyone talking.
Although his tweet wasn’t followed by any major announcement, it sparked hope and multiple theories about his return to the public eye.
Is Something Big Coming?
For now, Britto’s true reason for posting remains a mystery. Maybe it was a technical check-in, a private joke, or the start of something bigger.

After months of sluggish price action and sideways consolidation, Dogecoin (DOGE) may finally be on the verge of a meaningful breakout. Recent price movements, technical signals, and broader macroeconomic trends all appear to be converging in DOGE’s favor.
Technical Breakout from Descending Channel
According to analysis, Dogecoin has officially broken out of a descending channel, a formation that has capped price rallies since the beginning of the year. The breakout is further validated by a successful retest of prior resistance, now turned support, suggesting a bullish reversal is underway.
The immediate resistance lies at $0.27, but continued bullish pressure could push DOGE toward $0.39 and even $0.43 in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, support around $0.17 provides a safety net in the event of short-term pullbacks.
Short-Term Price Action and Elliott Wave Analysis
Recent price behavior shows Dogecoin is in a micro-corrective phase, currently holding above a key support zone between $0.17 and $0.1777. This region was previously identified as a micro-support level, and the market has reacted accordingly, hinting that the fifth wave up in an Elliott Wave sequence may be starting.
In the current wave count, analysts identify a potential three-wave move up, with Wave 3 peaking near the 138% Fibonacci extension at $0.196. If this structure holds, Wave 5 could extend toward the 161.8% level at $0.206 or the 178.6% level at $0.213. A confirmed break above $0.185 would strongly mean that the next bullish leg is underway.
However, a decisive drop below $0.17 would cause a temporary delay in the anticipated rally. For now, the pullback appears corrective and shallow, which aligns with an ongoing uptrend.
Macro Trends: Bitcoin, Global M2, and Dogecoin Correlation
Beyond the charts, macroeconomic indicators are adding fuel to the bullish case. One emerging narrative gaining traction among analysts is the correlation between cryptocurrency prices and global M2 money supply — a measure of the world’s money supply that includes cash, checking, and easily convertible near-money.
According to one user, when applying a 110-day offset, there appears to be a consistent pattern between increases in M2 and DOGE price rallies — excluding outlier events like the post-Trump-election price surge.
There has been a lot of talk about the correlation between the price of Bitcoin and the Global M2 money supply. But how about Dogecoin? With a 110 day offset and ignoring the $DOGE price craziness after the Trump election, there is a pattern relationship for when money flows… pic.twitter.com/zoBVGUQHBm
If money continues flowing into assets like Dogecoin as global liquidity expands, especially during the summer, this correlation could become even more evident — reinforcing the bullish technical setup.

Crypto News of the Day: Max Keiser Says Bitcoin and Saylor Are the Future
Warren Buffett made the ultimate case for Bitcoin as the American investor considers stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.
Pending board approval, Buffett could step aside at the end of the year, giving way for Greg Abel, vice chair of non-insurance operations, to become Berkshire’s new chief.
This revelation came at Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting on May 3, 2025, where Buffett also offered a stark warning about the long-term value of the US dollar.
He noted that every system eventually debases its currency. According to Warren Buffett, government decisions make paper money lose value over time.
“In the end, if you get people to control the currency, you can issue paper money, and you will,” Buffett told shareholders in Omaha.
Warren Buffett Slams US Fiscal Policy at Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder Meeting
Without naming alternatives such as Bitcoin, the 93-year-old investor cautioned against holding assets denominated in a currency he said was systematically devalued by government policy.
“The natural course of government is to make the currency worth less over time… Some places devalue at breathtaking rates… it’s not evil, it’s just their job,” he added.
The investing icon said that if his late partner, Charlie Munger, had to choose a second area besides stocks, he would have gone into foreign exchange.
These remarks suggested an openness to non-traditional assets. Bitcoin advocate and broadcaster Max Keiser responded to the remarks in an interview with BeInCrypto.
Max Keiser interprets Buffett’s comments as a tacit validation of the thesis behind Bitcoin.
“Executive chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy Michael Saylor is the Warren Buffett of the 21st century. He saw what Buffett described and built his strategy around it,” Keiser started.
“Warren Buffett built his empire on money printing. Most of his holdings over the years have been in banks, insurance companies, and financial services,” Keiser claimed.
In his view, Buffett benefited from having political leverage in Washington, particularly during the 2008 financial crisis. During this time, Keiser says, his [Buffett] investments in Wall Street institutions aligned with government-led rescue efforts.
Buffett’s Role During The 2008 Financial Crisis Is Well Documented
Michael Saylor, meanwhile, has taken a dramatically different approach. Under his leadership, MicroStrategy (now Strategy) began acquiring Bitcoin in 2020 as part of its corporate treasury strategy. The firm cited concerns about the long-term debasement of fiat currencies.
As of early 2025, the company holds more than 200,000 BTC, worth tens of billions of dollars at current market prices. A recent US Crypto News publication revealed one of Strategy’s latest Bitcoin purchases.
Buffett has long been critical of Bitcoin, famously calling it “rat poison squared” in 2018. However, some in the digital asset space have interpreted his recent comments about currency debasement as aligning with core arguments made by Bitcoin proponents.
Based on his remarks, the American investor and philanthropist is concerned about the US fiscal policy.
His comments allude that while he may not like Bitcoin, he clearly understands why it exists. Sentiment on X (Twitter) shows that community members took notice.
Responses suggest that if Warren Buffett understands money and its flaws manifested in fiat form, why does he not endorse Bitcoin as the solution?
“Warren Buffet talks about the virtues of Bitcoin without mentioning Bitcoin,” one user on X quipped.
Meanwhile, others hope Buffett’s prospective replacement as CEO will see the next Berkshire Hathaway chief to lead the company in a different direction, potentially adopting Bitcoin.
A spokesperson for Berkshire Hathaway did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Keiser’s remarks.
Elsewhere, and in line with Buffett’s statement about foreign exchange, QCP Capital analysts cite a remarkable 8% rally in the Taiwanese Dollar (TWD) on Monday.
They cite this as the TWD’s sharpest move in decades, alongside gains in other APAC currencies with strong current account surpluses. According to the analysts, speculation over a potential US-Taiwan trade deal drove this rally, as did insurer-hedging flows, pushing TWD’s 1Y NDF spread to its widest since 2008.
While Taiwan’s trade surplus supports the TWD, capital outflows have historically balanced it. This shift mirrors past foreign exchange dislocations like the 2023 JPY carry unwind.
For crypto, the move signals possible macro volatility ahead, with gold up 3% and BTC facing a binary path tied to global capital flows and trade diplomacy.
“In a market where correlations are fraying, FX may once again be the canary in the macro coalmine,” wrote QCP analysts.
