Prominent Crypto Assets analyst EGRAG CRYPTO has released the latest XRP Technical Analysis report, pointing out that $2.33 has become the last line of defense for long positions. Although the current market sentiment is bearish, if the price can hold this key support, there is still hope to achieve a long-term target of over $20. This article provides a deep analysis of four key price levels of XRP and their decisive impact on future market trends.

Chainlink (LINK) is facing a critical test of a long-term descending resistance line since 2011. On-chain analysts point out that a successful breakout will open the path to a historical high of $73. Meanwhile, LINK has become the first to obtain ISO 27001 and SOC 2 international security certifications, with reserves increasing to 150,000 LINK, creating a rare resonance between fundamentals and technicals.

Ripple(XRP) has fallen nearly 10% in the past two weeks, with on-chain data revealing significant discrepancies: short-term holders are aggressively buying the dip, while long-term holders continue to sell. Glassnode's on-chain indicators show that the proportion of holdings among the 1-12 month holding group has reached a new high for the year, but the "Liveliness" indicator rising suggests that long-term chips are loosening. In the Bull vs Bear Battle, whether XRP can hold the key support at $2.63 has become the focus of the market.

Fed Chairman Powell will deliver a significant speech at the Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting, which may be his last policy tone-setting during his term. The crypto market and US stock investors are closely following signals for a September rate cut and possible changes to the monetary policy framework. Historical data shows that Powell's past speeches have triggered Bitcoin supercycles, and this speech could become the most critical macro catalyst for 2025.

On-chain data shows that the volume of Ethereum perpetual futures trading has for the first time risen to a dominant position of 67%, reaching a historical high, significantly ahead of Bitcoin. This phenomenon indicates that investors' speculative interest in altcoins is sharply rising, or suggests that market risk appetite is accelerating, with Ethereum becoming a key barometer for Altseason.

Pi Network (PI) announced the establishment of a prize pool of 160,000 Pi coins to celebrate the launch of the 2025 hackathon, attracting developers from around the world to participate. However, this event, originally aimed at promoting ecological innovation, unexpectedly triggered strong dissatisfaction from pioneers (Pi coin supporters) — from the cumbersome KYC verification to the indefinite timeline for the mainnet coin transfer, the community's questioning voices have been incessant.

Layer-1 blockchain project Flow (FLOW) delivered impressive results in Q2 2025: Total Value Locked (TVL) increased by 46.3% quarter-over-quarter, smart contract deployments and PayPal PYUSD stablecoin supply both recorded triple-digit growth, and through collaboration with Disney+ Pinnacle, new users surpassed 50 million. However, despite the ecosystem data reaching historical highs, the FLOW spot price remains trapped in a sideways consolidation, with technical indicators suggesting a potential direction choice amidst a tug-of-war between bulls and bears.

Bitcoin fell 1.4% to $112,828 on August 22, down 9.3% from the historical high of $124,128 on August 14, with a monthly decline widening to 6%. On-chain data shows that retail investor demand decreased by 5.7% over the week, but whales have accumulated over 16,000 BTC in the past 7 days. Technical indicators suggest that short-term holders have fallen into losses, and the market may be in the early stages of a reset, with the $112,000 support level becoming a focal point for bulls and bears.

On August 29, Bitcoin (BTC) options with a total value of up to 13.8 billion USD will face a concentrated expiration, leading to a key battle in the Bull vs Bear Battle. Currently, the BTC price is struggling below 114,000 USD, with short positions increasing the pressure while long positions are trying to defend the 112,000 USD support. This range-bound battle before the settlement will be closely linked to the speech of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell and macroeconomic data.

Ethereum has recently shown strong resistance to falling, forming a bullish flag consolidation structure above the key support level of $4200. Analyst Javon Marks pointed out that after breaking through the daily chart, the short-term target is seen at $4800, and if momentum accelerates, it may even challenge the historical high of $5500. Although BlackRock's recent sale of $254 million ETH has raised market concerns, the technical pattern indicates that institutional selling pressure has not undermined the long-term bullish structure.

Fed Chairman Powell is about to speak at the Jackson Hole annual meeting, and Bitcoin traders are on high alert. The options market shows a key strike price densely distributed between $110,000 and $120,000, and the negative 25 Delta skew indicator suggests that demand for call options is rising, but the skew value's 24-hour decline reflects cautious market sentiment. The CME FedWatch tool shows that the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in September has dropped to 75%, down more than 15% from last week. If the rate cut expectations fail to materialize, Bitcoin may face a deep pullback.

Arthur Hayes recently confirmed the repurchase of Ethereum after reducing his holdings of crypto assets by 13.35 million dollars, predicting that ETH will big pump to 20,000 dollars during this cycle. His viewpoint received a positive response from BitMine, a crypto investment company under Tom Lee—this company spent 220 million dollars to increase its holdings by 52,475 ETH, bringing its total holdings to 1.57 million ETH (valued at 6.6 billion dollars). Institutional holdings data reveals that corporate entities currently hold a total of 4.1 million ETH, accounting for 3.39% of the circulating supply.

Ripple Labs announced a collaboration with Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings, planning to distribute its USD stablecoin RLUSD in Japan through SBI VC Trade in the first quarter of 2026. This initiative will expand the stablecoin options in the Japanese market and could open up new growth engines for Ripple in Asia. However, despite the continuous favourable information, the price of XRP has fallen by 3.6% in the last 24 hours, reaching a three-week low of 2.83 USD.

As the largest enterprise-grade Bitcoin holder in the world, every move made by Michael Saylor's Strategy sends ripples through the market. However, the company's CFO and head of investor relations, Shirish Jajodia, recently emphasized in the Coin Stories podcast that despite holding over 629,000 BTC (with a market capitalization of approximately $70.85 billion), Strategy's purchasing strategy "will not affect Bitcoin prices," and revealed the operational details behind it.

According to informed sources, Eric Trump, son of the U.S. President, will visit Tokyo on September 1 to attend the shareholders' meeting of the Japanese Bitcoin financial company Metaplanet Inc. and promote the family's strategic layout in the Crypto Assets field. This visit coincides with Japan's approval of the first yen stablecoin and the collaboration between SBI Holdings and Startale Group to create a tokenization stock platform, marking the acceleration of Japan's Crypto and tokenization market.

Billionaire Peter Thiel has become one of the biggest winners in this round of Ethereum rise. His founded Founders Fund holds a 7.5% stake in the transforming bet on Ethereum, ETHZilla, which saw its market capitalization soar from $18 million to $741 million in two weeks; additionally, the 9.1% stake in Bitmine Immersion Technologies also experienced a rise of over 1000% during the same period. Thiel's team firmly believes that Ethereum will become a new type of financial infrastructure on Wall Street, with institutions like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs already deploying on-chain funds.

Ethereum started a rebound after reaching a low of $4065, currently back above $4250 but facing strong resistance at $4300. The hourly chart shows the formation of a bearish trendline, with the 100-hour moving average creating dynamic pressure. If it cannot break through the key resistance at $4385, ETH may test the $4180 support area again. The MACD indicator shows weakening bearish momentum, while the RSI has returned above the neutral line at 50, releasing conflicting signals.
