Crypto’s taking a pause after a good run last week. The Crypto market is at $2.19 trillion, down a tiny 0.20% in the last day. Bitcoin’s around $64,000.

But here’s the good part: big money is coming back. Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs pulled in $282 million combined, breaking an eight-week streak of people pulling their cash out.

Circle also secured approval for a U.S. trust bank, marking another step for stablecoin adoption. At the same time, Treasury company Empery Digital sold about half of its Bitcoin holdings to expand into AI infrastructure. Today’s session could determine whether buyers extend the recovery or sellers regain control.

XRP Price Holds Support as Buyers Wait for a Fresh Catalyst

The XRP price trades at $1.09, down 0.57% today. We had a look at the chart and found price continuing to trade inside the range that has controlled trading since late June. 

Buyers defended the $1.08-$1.09 support area several times, but every rally into $1.14-$1.15 has attracted fresh selling. The series of lower highs from the July 5 peak also shows bulls have not fully regained control.

The numbers are leaning bearish, but they’re starting to settle down. The RSI is at 41.04, which is below the middle line. The Stochastic is all the way down at 12.58, that’s oversold territory, where bounces usually happen. 

The Ultimate Oscillator is at 46.07, and the MACD is still negative at -0.0023, but both the histogram and signal lines are flattening out. Selling pressure isn’t what it was earlier this week.

Key Factors Pushing the XRP Price

Ripple continues to benefit from better regulatory clarity. Ripple now holds a full MiCA license in Luxembourg, allowing regulated payment and custody services across all 27 EU member states. Seven spot XRP ETFs launched after November 2025 have also expanded institutional access.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also revealed that the SEC lawsuit nearly forced the company to shut down after banking partners left and major U.S. exchanges removed XRP. 

The comments revisit Ripple’s regulatory battle, though the company’s stronger legal position and European expansion continue to support the broader outlook.

XRP Price Prediction for Today

Bullish: 

A move above $1.10 could open the door to $1.12, followed by $1.15.

Neutral

Holding between $1.08 and $1.10 remains the most likely outcome.

Bearish: 

Losing $1.08 could send the XRP price back toward $1.05.

Bitcoin Price Consolidates Ahead of Key Inflation Data

Bitcoin is at $63,685, down a tiny 0.15% today. We pulled up the chart and things are settling down after that bounce off the June low below $60,000. 

Buyers have been defending $63,000 for a few days now, but they keep hitting a wall around $64,200–$64,500. One thing worth noting: the chart has been making higher lows since early July, so buyers are still in the game, even if the climb has slowed.

The indicators show a pretty even fight. The RSI is at 51.69, right on the middle line. The Stochastic is 45.71, meaning momentum has cooled from those overbought levels we saw earlier this month. 

The Ultimate Oscillator is 46.05, and the MACD is still positive at 311, so buyers have a slight edge, even with the market taking a breather.

Key Factors Pushing the Bitcoin Price

Everyone’s waiting for the June U.S. inflation report coming out on July 14. Right now, there’s a 64.6% chance the Fed keeps rates where they are later this month. But if inflation comes in hotter than expected, that could push Treasury yields and the dollar up, and that usually puts pressure on Bitcoin.

On-chain data remains mixed. Analyst Ali Martinez noted that the aSOPR, Puell Multiple and Reserve Risk all remain below bullish levels, pointing to cautious investor behavior. Developers are also debating the proposed eCash hard fork, introducing fresh uncertainty ahead of its planned August activation.

Bitcoin Price Prediction for Today

Bullish: 

A break above $64,300 could lift the Bitcoin price toward $65,000.

Neutral: 

Trading between $63,200 and $64,300 remains the most likely path.

Bearish: 

A drop below $63,200 could send Bitcoin toward $62,500.

Ethereum Price Holds Recovery as ETF Demand Returns

Ethereum is at $1,794.20, up a little over 0.4% today. We pulled up the chart and buyers are still pushing this recovery that started after that late-June dip near $1,520. 

Price has gotten back above $1,750, but it keeps bumping into resistance around $1,810–$1,820 that’s slowing things down. One thing that stands out: higher lows over the last two weeks, which usually means people are silently buying in.

The indicators lean bullish, but only just. RSI is 54.13, above the middle line, but not by much. Stochastic is 63.25, so there’s still space before things get overheated. Ultimate Oscillator is 52.45, right in the middle. MACD is positive at 13.4, nothing wild, but enough to keep the recovery alive, even if the climb has slowed down.

Key Factors Pushing the Ethereum Price

The Ethereum Foundation caught a medium-level bug in a messaging library and patched it before anyone could exploit it. They found it using AI-assisted testing, which shows they’re taking security seriously.

On the money side, spot Ethereum ETFs pulled in $18.4 million in net inflows, and BlackRock’s iShares ETF made up over 90% of that. So big money is coming back.

Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, threw his weight behind open-source AI again. It’s a good reminder that Ethereum is about more than just crypto, it’s about building decentralized tech that actually means something.

Ethereum Price Prediction for Today

Bullish: 

A move above $1,810 could lift the Ethereum price toward $1,850.

Neutral: 

Holding between $1,780 and $1,810 remains the most likely outcome.

Bearish: 

A break below $1,780 could send the Ethereum price toward $1,740.

What will 1 Bitcoin be worth in 2030❓

Forecasts vary widely: Ark Invest projects a base case of ~$710,000 (with a bull case of $1.5 million), while WisdomTree’s base case is $250,000, with other analysts targeting anywhere from $300,000 to $1 million.

Will Bitcoin have a future❓

Yes, its future is increasingly tied to its role as a “digital gold” and institutional asset, with major financial firms like Ark and WisdomTree modeling it as a core macro allocation alongside gold.
