As we Approach the Final Quarter of 2025, The Following Key Charts Provide Valuable Insights to Help Crypto Traders Navigate The Evolving Market Landscape.

Bullish SeasonalitySeasonal Trends Suggest A Bullish Q4 Outlook for Both BTC$ 109.674.12 an Eth$ 3,946.16The Top Two Cryptocurrencies by Market Capitalization.

Since 2013, BTC$ 109.674.12 HAS DELIVED AVERAGE RETURN OF 85% in the Final Quarter, Account to Data From Coinglass, Making Q4 Historically The Strongest Period for Bulls.

Eth$ 3,946.16 Also Tends to Perform Well in the Last Three Months of the Year, AlhoUGH ITS STRONGEST HISTORICAL RETURNS HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST QUARST QUARTER SINCE INCOPTION.

BTC’s 50-Week Sma SupportBitcoin’s Price Has Droped by 5% This Week, Consistent with The Bearish Technical Signals and Looks Set to Extend Losses to Late August Lows Near $ 107.300. If Bulls Fail to Defend That, The Focus Will Shift to The 200-Day Simple Moving AVERAGE AT $ 104,200.

The Ongoing Price Decline, Combined with Bitcoin’s Historical Pattern of Pecking Approximately 16 to 18 MONTHS After A Halving Event, May Scare Bulls.

However, Such Concerns May Be Premature As Long as Prices Remain Above the 50-Week Simple Moving AVERAGE (SMA). This Moving Average Has Consistentally ACTED AS A SUPPORT Level, Marking The End of Corrective Price Pullbacks Durying The Current Bull Run that Began in Early 2023.

Traders, ThereFore, Should Closely Watch the 50-Week Sma, Which Is Currently Positioned AROUND $ 98.900, as A Key Level for Broader Market Direction.

XRP/BTC CompressionXrp, Onthen Called the “US Government Coin” by FIRMS LIKE ARCA, HAS SURGED 32% THIS YEAR. However, Despite this Strong Rally, The Payments-Focused Cryptocurrency Remains Confined Within A Prolonged SidewayS Trading Range Against Bitcoin (Xrp/BTC), Showing LIMITED LIMITED LIMITED LIMITED.

Recent Price Action Near the Upper Boundary of this Channel Suggests that Bulls Are Gradually Gaining Control. A Breakout from Such A Prolonged Consolidation Could Trigger A Powerful Rally in XRP Relative to Btc, as the Accuumulated Energy from this Squeezeze is Released.

Now, Let’s Turn to Charts That Call For Caution.

In Other Words, It’s Flashing A Bearish Signal for Both BTC and Strategy, Which Is The Largest Publicly Listed BTC Holder with A Coin Stash of 639.835 BTC.

Dollar Index’s Double BottomLast Week, I Discussed The Dollar’s Post-Fed Rate Cut Resilience As A Potential Headwind for Risk Assets, Including Cryptocurrencies.

A Continued Move Beyond 100.26, The High of the Interim Recovery Between the Twin Bottoms AROUND 96.30, Wound Confirm of the so-Called Double Bottom Breakout, OPENING The DOOR.

Watch Out for the Pattern Failure Below 96.00, As that Could Lead to Increasted Risk-Taking in Financial Markets.
