Altcoin Season Index Has Crashed To 29 After Its September 2025 Highs

Image
Back in September 2025, the Altcoin Season Index , which tracks the performance of the top 100 altcoins against that of Bitcoin, had reached a new yearly peak. This rise had triggered positive sentiment in the market, with calls for the altcoin bull run to finally begin. However, the tide has since turned, and hopes for another altcoin season have been dashed. Now, the index has crashed back downward, moving toward its yearly lows. Altcoin Season Index Falls To 39 From 78 The Altcoin Season Index on the CoinMarketCap website has declined to a score of 29, representing an over 50% crash from its September highs. Back then, the Altcoin Season Index had climbed to a score of 78 , suggesting that altcoins were in a bull market. However, this move was short-lived with the market crash that followed, especially in the month of October. This index takes into account how the top 100 altcoins by market cap have performed against the Bitcoin price over a 90-day period and uses it to score the...

Bitcoin Price In The Final Stage Of Bull Cycle — When Is The Peak?

Image
The Bitcoin price struggles continued over the past week, reflecting the largely pessimistic sentiment in the digital asset market in the month of October. The premier cryptocurrency dropped beneath the psychological $110,000 level despite the interest rate cut decision by the United States Federal Reserve on Wednesday, October 29. The tame reaction of the Bitcoin price—and other large-cap assets—has raised concerns about the viability of the crypto market in the current cycle. Nevertheless, a prominent blockchain firm CEO has predicted that, although the bull cycle might be coming to an end, the market leader might just be days away from a new all-time high price. BTC Could Peak Between $143,000 – $146,000: CEO In an October 31st post on the X platform, Alphractal founder and CEO Joao Wedson revealed that the price of Bitcoin could run up to a new all-time high in the short term. The crypto expert put the potential cycle peak for the flagship cryptocurrency at a price between $14...

Shiba Inu Facing A Bear Market? Pundit Shows What To Expect

Image
Shiba Inu appears to be repeating a familiar market structure, according to a recent technical analysis shared by crypto trader IncomeSharks on X. The analyst highlighted how SHIB’s price history over the past two years reflects a cyclical pattern of short-lived rallies followed by prolonged downturns. At the time of writing, SHIB is trading around $0.00001007, showing little momentum to break free from its extended bearish grip. Is Shiba Inu’s Market Structure Looking Bearish? The analyst’s daily candlestick timeframe chart, which tracks Shiba Inu’s daily price action since early 2024, presents a visual timeline of its repeated boom-and-bust movements in recent years.  The first major phase came in early 2024 when SHIB experienced a rapid one-month surge, its biggest move during the observed period. This move took place in just one month and saw the Shiba Inu price break above $0.00004. However, this bullish stretch was quickly followed by a six-month decline between March an...

Bitcoin Pain Still Far From Bear Market Levels, Says Glassnode Researcher

Image
Glassnode’s senior researcher has revealed how Unrealized Loss on the Bitcoin network is still smaller than even mild bear markets in the past. Bitcoin Relative Unrealized Loss Hit Just 1.3% Recently In a new post on X, senior researcher at on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, CryptoVizArt, has talked about how Bitcoin currently compares to past bearish periods in terms of Relative Unrealized Loss . The Unrealized Loss is an indicator that measures, as its name suggests, the total amount of loss (in USD) that BTC investors as a whole are carrying in their wallets. This metric works by going through the transaction history of each coin on the blockchain to find what price it was last moved at. If this previous transaction price was more than the current spot price for any token, then that particular token could be assumed to be sitting on some net unrealized loss right now. The exact amount of loss that the coin carries is naturally equal to the difference between the two prices. Th...

Ripple CTO Stacks XRP Ledger Against Other Blockchains, What’s The Catch?

Image
Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David ‘JoelKatz’ Schwartz , has reignited the long-running debate over decentralization by pitting the XRP Ledger (XRPL) against other major blockchains. His recent statements have drawn sharp attention across the broader crypto community, particularly for their bold claims about XRP’s role in a truly decentralized financial ecosystem.  Ripple CTO Highlights XRP Ledger’s Unique Autonomy An X social media account named ‘Stellar Ripple’ has spotlighted a statement from Schwartz, underscoring what he sees as a defining difference between the XRP Ledger and other blockchain networks. Stellar Ripple stated in its post on Thursday that the Ripple CTO dropped a “truth bomb,” cutting deep into the philosophy of decentralization within blockchains.  In his post, Schwartz questioned whether users want to be their own bank or empower another intermediary in disguise. According to him, despite the decentralized branding of blockchain networks ...

Pundit Shares The Value Proposition Of XRP – It’s ‘Foundational’

Image
Crypto pundit Mickle is reminding the crypto community why XRP still holds an essential place in the digital asset world. He explains that the value of XRP stems from its foundational role in the XRP Ledger. He believes many people misunderstand XRP by comparing it to stablecoins or other tokens, but that view misses the main point.  Mickle Says XRP’s Value Is ‘Foundational,’ Not Just A Pitch In a recent X post, Mickle said that most people in crypto still do not understand what makes XRP special . He explained that when people ask, “What’s the current pitch for XRP?” they are asking the wrong question. To him, XRP does not need a sales pitch because its value is foundational. The cryptocurrency doesn’t depend on price movements, short-term excitement, or temporary stories. Instead, it is part of the very system that powers the XRP Ledger. Mickle compared XRP to well-known cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, noting that they share common traits. They are native, non-i...
