Bitcoin is currently in a consolidation phase, trading steadily above $100,000 but failing to break past $105,000. This stabilization follows a period of volatility, with on-chain data indicating ongoing profit-taking. Analysts suggest investors are securing profits as the current market cycle approaches its end. Inflows to Binance have significantly increased, with around 7,500 BTC transferred daily on average throughout October, the highest since March. This surge in exchange inflows signals rising selling pressure and cautious trading strategies. Despite this, Bitcoin's ability to hold near $100,000 suggests underlying demand remains strong. Buyers are absorbing the increased supply, preventing a sharp decline for now. This consolidation period is crucial for determining Bitcoin's future trajectory. Short-term holders, who have been largely underwater, are contributing significantly to selling pressure by sending BTC to exchanges at a loss, a behavior often seen in late-stage corrections. However, the consistent defense of the $100,000 support level, bolstered by the 50-week moving average, indicates resilience. The long-term macroeconomic trend for Bitcoin remains bullish, as evidenced by upward-sloping longer-term moving averages. A decisive move above $110,000 could trigger a recovery towards $117,000-$120,000, while a weekly close below $100,000 might lead to a correction towards $92,000-$95,000.

XRP is facing a critical week with several bullish factors potentially driving a price surge. The token has maintained its position above the crucial $2.20 support level despite recent market downturns. Analyst Guy on the Earth suggests XRP is at a pivotal point, with numerous positive news catalysts supporting short-term optimism. He predicts XRP could retest resistance levels between $2.63 and $2.72. These catalysts include speculation around an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) and the resolution of a government shutdown. Holding the $2.20 support is essential for continuing the upward momentum; failure to do so could lead to a price drop to $1.90-$2.00. However, the analyst believes the recent lows are established and XRP is preparing for an upside breakout. He views consolidation in the current range as healthy preparation for a higher movement. Significant anticipation surrounds the potential approval of a US-listed XRP ETF, fueled by Canary Capital's SEC filing. This has generated excitement among XRP supporters, who recall similar rallies in Bitcoin and Ethereum after their ETF approvals. If an XRP ETF is approved, it could attract substantial institutional investment. Currently trading at $2.41, XRP's immediate goal for bulls is to solidify the $2.20 support to aim for the $2.72 resistance zone.

BNB's price is showing signs of a rebound but is currently forming a bearish head and shoulders pattern. This pattern suggests that upward momentum is failing and a reversal may be imminent. An unfilled fair value gap below the current price also acts as a magnet, increasing the probability of a downward move. However, this predicted pullback is seen as a necessary retracement for a high-value entry. The target for this retracement aligns with a key Fibonacci level and a major order block zone, suggesting a strong support area. This setup presents a strategic opportunity for a long position. Separately, another analyst believes BNB may have formed a major low around $864 after a prolonged downtrend. The cryptocurrency is showing stability near $950, indicating a potential gradual recovery. If $950 holds as support, BNB could rebound towards the $1,050–$1,100 range. A sustained move higher would confirm growing market strength and could signal a medium-term uptrend.
