Both tokens have retraced modestly from last week’s highs, with Bitcoin down roughly 4% and XRP off about 5% on the weekly chart after encountering...

The setup, laid out by Cryptoinsightuk’s Will Taylor, points to a potential 300% move if DOGE can once again trade the upper end of its multi-year range. Will The Dogecoin Price Explode By 300%? Taylor’s thesis is built almost entirely on structure. On the weekly DOGE/USDT chart he shared, Dogecoin was sitting near $0.09006, pressed into the lower boundary of a broad pennant formation that has contained price action for years. The same chart marked a projected move to roughly $0.27304, labeled as a 302.43% upside swing from current levels. “DOGE is technically at such an interesting level again,” Taylor wrote on X. “Weekl...

“XRP isn’t going to move the way most people expect.” That was the message shared by an XRP enthusiast on X, rejecting the idea of a steady climb through levels like $2, $3, and $4.  Instead, the projection breaks away from conventional technical analysis and circulating supply models, predicting that XRP’s price could move in a much more exponential, step-change manner.

That outlook was reiterated again after an XRP enthusiast on X noted that the cryptocurrency will not climb in clean steps, such as $2, $3, and $4, a...
