Top Analyst Shares Dogecoin “Heist” Plan Amid Breakout from Key Resistance

A prominent analyst has shared a bullish price development on Dogecoin after a resistance moving average breakout, predicting its possible target.

Dogecoin has outpaced other high-caliber assets in the past 24 hours amid bullish ecosystem development and momentum from a broader market recovery. The doggy-themed meme coin has surged 5.30% within this period, with Cardano (2.73%) and Shiba Inu ($2.45%) the only assets that come close to the gains in the top 20 rankings by market cap.

Notably, the surge coincided with a recent announcement from the House of Doge, Dogecoin Foundation’s corporate arm, that it has established an official DOGE reserve. The firm launched the reserve with an initial 10 million DOGE purchase, pledging to stack more of the meme coin in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Dogecoin’s recent surge has seen it cross a crucial resistance zone, kickstarting what an analyst describes as a “heist” on the DOGE/USDT market.

Analyst Dissects Heist Plans

In a TradingView analysis on March 24, pseudonymous market watcher Thief Trader identified a bullish price development on the Dogecoin 2-hour time frame. The commentator stated that DOGE gained momentum after a northward trajectory from its accumulation zone.

Furthermore, the leading meme coin has defied a dynamic resistance moving average (MA), a possible catalyst for further price upsides. Having turned the indicator to a support area, the analyst asserted a surge to the next supply zone.

For the heist setup, Thief Trader recommended immediate entry but using the 15 or 30-minute timeframe for a sniper buy limit. Furthermore, he set his stop loss at $0.16, an area below the MA trendline, but advised trader discretion based on risk and reward appetite.

Meanwhile, he speculated an 18% surge from the current market price to $0.22. He identified that the price level lies at the average true range (ATR) line, which specifies an area marked with strong resistance and liquidity zones.

Correlating Analysis

Interestingly, the Thief Trader’s commentary correlates with a recent analysis by prominent market watcher, Ali Martinez. In a recent post, he also asserted that Dogecoin has broken from an inverted descending triangle on the hourly timeframe and looks to sustain momentum.

Martinez also predicted a 16% surge from the break point, which could see Dogecoin cross the $0.200 price mark. Notably, the market expert has made more bullish price calls for DOGE, including an ambitious surge to $20.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin trades at $0.1856, up a mild 2% since today.

Here Are Shiba Inu Price Predictions for 2025, 2028, 2030, 2035, and 2040

Various industry commentators have shared their opinions on what they believe Shiba Inu could be worth over the next few years.

Shiba Inu is among the most prominent crypto assets in the industry, with a market cap of $7.62 billion. It garners daily trading volumes in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Although the price of Shiba Inu has been unimpressive since the start of 2025, hopes remain high around the asset looking into the future.

Given the popular optimism surrounding SHIB, The Crypto Basic has compiled the price forecast for the coin from 2025 to 2040.

Shiba Inu Projected Prices for 2025, 2028

Shiba Inu price predictions for 2025, 2028, 2030, 2035, and 2040 vary across different sources. While some are ambitious, others are fairly optimistic.

According to the crypto exchange Changelly, Shiba Inu could reach a maximum price of $0.0000280 this year. Notably, at press time, SHIB is trading at $0.00001290. This would mark a 117% upside from its current position.

However, Telegaon analysts are more optimistic about Shiba Inu for this year. They suggest Shiba Inu could reach as high as $0.0000728 in 2025. They also predict an average price of $0.0000552. 

From the current level, the $0.0000728 peak price would represent a 464% gain for holders. That said, this price would still be below Shiba Inu’s all-time high of $0.00008845.

On the other hand, ChatGPT suggests a new all-time high for Shiba Inu in 2025. Specifically, it cites $0.00009736 as a possible peak point for SHIB by the end of this year.

As for 2028, three years from now, Changelly analysts suggest Shiba Inu will trade at a minimum price of $0.0000502. They also project a maximum price of $0.0000818 by the end of 2028. This estimation would still place Shiba Inu below its 2021 all-time high.

Interestingly, ChatGPT offered an even more conservative estimate for Shiba Inu for 2028. It projects that SHIB could hit a maximum of $0.00005016 in 2028, far below its previous peak.

While these two projections are conservative, Telegaon analysts are much more optimistic. They argue Shiba Inu could have canceled a zero by 2028. Specifically, these analysts project a minimum price of $0.000207 in three years and a maximum of $0.000312.

Projected SHIB Prices for 2030, 2035, and 2040

Changelly analysts are optimistic about Shiba Inu’s performance by the end of the decade. They argue SHIB could be worth up to $0.000188 by 2030, representing a 1,006% upside from the current price.

Telegaon analysts agree with this forecast but are even more ambitious. They believe Shiba Inu could trade at an average of $0.000646, with a maximum of $0.000712 by 2030.

However, ChatGPT does not share these optimistic sentiments. It projects that Shiba Inu could still be trading with four zeros in 2030.

For 2035, Changelly predicted Shiba Inu would trade at an average price of $0.00056, with a maximum of $0.000875. This would mean a massive 5,047% gain from the present value.

Telegaon highlighted the possibility of Shiba Inu canceling another zero by 2035, suggesting a maximum price of $0.00216.

On the other hand, ChatGPT cited projections suggesting SHIB could continue to trade with four zeros even as far as 2040.

Meanwhile, Changelly expects Shiba Inu to have canceled three zeros by 2040. It projected as high as $0.0169 for SHIB by 2040, marking an astonishing 99,312% gain. Telegaon aligns closely with this, suggesting a maximum price of $0.089 by the end of 2040.

BlackRock Brings Bitcoin ETP to Europe Following US Success

BlackRock Brings Bitcoin ETP to Europe Following US Success

BlackRock is bringing its Bitcoin exchange-traded product to the European market, according to a Bloomberg report.

On Tuesday, March 25, BlackRock will list its Bitcoin ETP with the ticker IB1T on Xetra and Euronext Paris, while on Euronext Amsterdam, it will list as BTCN. 

To attract investors to the product at launch, BlackRock is offering a 0.10% fee waiver. This will reduce its management fee to 0.15% until the end of 2025, making it one of the cheapest in the region.

According to BlackRock, the European product will leverage custody services from leading crypto exchange Coinbase, just like its U.S.-based fund.

BlackRock’s European Bitcoin ETP launch comes on the heels of the success of its U.S.-based fund, which launched in January 2024 and quickly attracted billions to achieve the best launch of any ETF in history. 

At Bitcoin’s price peak in January 2025, the product boasted over $60 billion in assets under management. However, this is currently down to about $50 billion at the time of writing amid the asset’s recent price woes. Still, it is the largest of the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs listed in the U.S.

Nonetheless, Europe is a significantly smaller market. The entire European crypto ETP market boasts an AUM of only about $13 billion, with the largest ETP, CoinShares’ Bitcoin ETP, boasting an AUM of just $1.3 billion. 

Global crypto funds have recently endured a rough patch, with a record five-week outflow streak totaling $6.4 billion. Last week, however, these funds resumed winning ways with $644 million in net inflows.

Dogecoin Foundation Establishes 10M DOGE Reserve to Advance Payments Push

Dogecoin Foundation Establishes 10M DOGE Reserve to Advance Payments Push

The Dogecoin Foundation is looking to make DOGE a mainstream payment solution.

Despite being conceived as a joke and rising to fame as a meme, Dogecoin has long been hailed for its potential for payments thanks to low transaction costs. Now, the project looks set to explore this potential.

A Dogecoin Payments Framework 

The Dogecoin Foundation, the non-profit committed to advancing the network’s utility, is looking to make DOGE a mainstream payment solution.

To this end, on Monday, March 24, the organization announced through its newly formed commercialization partner, House of Doge, that it had launched an “Official Dogecoin Reserve” seeded with 10 million DOGE. At current prices, this reserve is worth about $1.8 million.

As explained in the press release, this reserve will function as a liquidity pool to bolster the efficiency of a Dogecoin payments framework currently in the works. In simple terms, the project hopes to cut out the wait times typically associated with blockchain transactions to provide a seamless experience for merchants and customers.

Beyond this reserve, House of Doge noted that the DOGE payments framework will also introduce reward programs to further incentivize adoption.

The Dogecoin corporate entity further disclosed that it would announce strategic partnerships in the coming months to showcase the payments framework.

Notably, these partners will likely include sports teams, food and beverage brands, and restaurants, per February 2025 statements from Dogecoin Foundation Director Timothy Stebbing, initially unveiling the payments vision for Dogecoin and the House of Doge.

DOGE Price Reacts

Amid the Dogecoin reserve news, the meme coin has outperformed other crypto assets in the top ten by market cap over the past 24 hours. Specifically, it is trading at $0.1852, which is up 5% on the day.

Official Dogecoin Reserve Launch Sparks Breakout, Bulls Eye $0.25

Official Dogecoin Reserve Launch Sparks Breakout, Bulls Eye $0.25

Dogecoin marks a bullish breakout as the House of DOGE launches an Official Dogecoin Reserve. Will this push DOGE prices to $0.25?

Dogecoin trades at $0.1873, having surged nearly 5% over the past 24 hours. The bullish recovery is closing in on the $0.20 psychological mark.

Furthermore, the DOGE price trend indicates a breakout event, signaling an extended rally ahead. Will this result in a price surge to the $0.25 mark?

Dogecoin Channel Breakout Signals Post-Retest Reversal

On the 4-hour price chart, the DOGE price trend shows a bullish comeback, gaining momentum with a 5% surge in 24 hours. The recovery led to a breakout of a long-standing resistance trendline.

Dogecoin Price Chart

The resistance trendline had previously kept bullish growth under control within a parallel channel. After the bullish breakout, the DOGE price trend retested the broken trendline.

This suggests a potential post-retest reversal for Dogecoin. The recovery rally has also surpassed the 50-day and 100-day EMA lines, increasing the likelihood of a positive crossover between the two.

Additionally, the MACD and signal lines are maintaining a bullish alignment in positive territory. Thus, technical indicators suggest an optimistic outlook for Dogecoin.

House of DOGE Launches Official Dogecoin Reserve 

Fueling the bullish trend in Dogecoin, the Dogecoin Foundation’s corporate arm, House of Doge, has recently announced the launch of the Official Dogecoin Reserve. This strategic reserve includes an initial purchase of 10 million DOGE, valued at nearly $1.8 million.

The purpose of the strategic reserve is to support the global currency and payment vision of the Dogecoin Foundation.

Dogecoin Price Targets

According to the Fibonacci levels, the post-test reversal in Dogecoin is likely to target the 23.60% Fibonacci level at $0.1945. This is very close to the 200 EMA line and the $0.20 psychological mark.

If the bullish momentum continues, the breakout rally could target the 50% Fibonacci level at $0.2536, indicating an upside potential of nearly 38%.

On the downside, the key support level is the 50 EMA line at $0.1739, followed by the $0.15 psychological support.

German Financial Firm Educates Audience About XRP

German Financial Firm Educates Audience About XRP

The efforts by Tokentus Investment AG, a German venture capital company, to continue educating its audience about XRP are sparking interest in the global community.

Tokentus Investment AG has repeatedly posted about XRP through its YouTube channel, explaining various concepts, including price analysis.

Latest Move Educating German Audience About XRP

In a recent video, the firm reiterated the message that XRP is not considered a security. The video emphasized that, despite the broader discussion about tokens and coins, XRP remains distinct in its classification and does not fall under the category of securities.

The company also highlighted the importance of understanding the differences between tokenized stocks and cryptocurrencies. Referencing an example from a recent interview, Tokentus pointed out that tokenizing a traditional stock would make it a security. However, XRP itself does not fit this criterion.

CEO explaning XRP is not a security
Tokentus Investment AG CEO Oliver Michel explaining XRP is not a security

Price Analysis Report on XRP

In previous videos, Tokentus Investment AG presented information on price analysis for XRP. For instance, last June, CEO Oliver Michel analyzed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange that XRP could surge by over 2,000%, potentially reaching $10.

Michel pointed to XRP’s historical data, which reveals significant past rallies, including a 4,300% increase from 2014 to 2017. He stressed that a similar breakout could happen this cycle, though with a more moderate upside, like a 20-fold gain.

US Media Ignoring XRP?

Meanwhile, Tokentus’s most recent videos about XRP have caught the attention of XRP enthusiasts in the broader community. Commentators from the United States are now drawing parallels with what they observe in the U.S. media space.

Specifically, a widely followed XRP community commentator, “Digital Asset Investor,” retweeted Tokentus’s XRP video and remarked that German financial news outlets are educating their audience on XRP while U.S. media, like CNBC, tries to pretend XRP doesn’t exist. 

This perspective suggests that XRP is receiving little coverage from leading U.S. financial media despite its prominence.

Notably, such views are not surfacing for the first time. Some community commentators, like Ashley Prosper, have even claimed that there is a “coordinated” effort against XRP. They believe that U.S. mainstream media’s “lack of coverage” is a deliberate attempt to suppress XRP-related news.

It is worth noting that U.S. mainstream media outlets like CNBC, Bloomberg, and FOX often cover XRP news, especially during major lawsuit developments, and have even interviewed Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. However, it is not yet to the satisfaction of some members of the XRP community.

Here are Returns on $1K, $5K, or $10K Investments in Shiba Inu at $0.00001342 if SHIB Revisits ATH

Here are Returns on $1K, $5K, or $10K Investments in Shiba Inu at $0.00001342 if SHIB Revisits ATH

Shiba Inu investors who commit up to $10,000 to the meme coin today could see substantial returns if SHIB recaptures its October 2021 all-time high. 

SHIB Latest Price Action 

Shiba Inu is still attempting to recover from the devastating collapse it experienced earlier this month, which saw its price plunge below $0.000011. The meme coin is currently trading at $0.00001342, up 22.55% from its multi-month low of $0.00001095.

Despite the recovery, Shiba Inu is still down 59.33% from its December peak of around $0.000033. Moreover, the canine-themed token has plunged 84.79% from its all-time high of $0.00008845, registered on October 28, 2021.

A Blessing in Disguise? 

While many investors, particularly those who bought SHIB around its ATH, are disappointed with the token’s massive dip, others see the decline as an opportunity to accumulate the token at a discount. This confidence is driven by predictions from multiple experts who believe SHIB will revisit its previous ATH this bull season. 

Last year, pseudonymous crypto analyst Daink revealed that he opened a long-term position in anticipation of SHIB’s surge to its previous ATH—$0.00008845. Other experts, including Javon Marks, also forecasted SHIB’s potential surge to around the ATH price mark this bull cycle. 

Amid these projections, many believe that SHIB will revisit $0.00008845 soon, with some accumulating the token in anticipation of this potential rally. 

Number of SHIB $1K, $5K, or $10 Will Fetch Today 

As these predictions gain momentum, The Crypto Basic recently estimated how SHIB’s return to its ATH will impact the portfolio of investors who commit $1,000, $5,000, or $10,000 to Shiba Inu at the current price. Interestingly, Shiba Inu’s current price presents an opportunity for investors to scoop up more SHIB with lower capital. 

At the current price, an investment of $1,000 will fetch 74,515,648 (74.51 million) SHIB. If the investor had invested this $1,000 in SHIB when its price was around $0.000033 in December 2024, they would have gotten only 30.3 million tokens. 

Similarly, a $5,000 investment in Shiba Inu today will procure 372,578,241 (372.57 million) SHIB at the current price. In comparison, this capital would have fetched only 151.51 million SHIB if it had been invested in December when the price soared to $0.000033. 

Also, an investment of $10,000 will procure 746,156,482 (746.15 million) SHIB today. However, if the investor had invested in December, they would have received only 303.03 million tokens. 

Potential Returns if SHIB Revisits $0.00008845 

The good news is that these investments will lead to jaw-dropping returns if SHIB recaptures its previous ATH. Notably, a 74.51 million SHIB portfolio worth $1,000 today will spike to $6,590 if SHIB revisits the $0.00008845 price mark. This represents an ROI of over $5,500. 

In addition, if SHIB ever hits $0.00008845 again, the 372.57 million SHIB portfolio—currently valued at $5,000—will be worth $32,954, representing a return of about $28,000.

Further, the 746.15 million SHIB portfolio worth $10,000 today will see its value spike to $65,997 at a target price of $0.00008845 per token. This marks a return of nearly $56,000 from the initial investment of $10,000. 

Can SHIB Revisit ATH? 

Despite the enticing nature of this analysis, it is imperative to remember that crypto investments carry significant risks. Nothing is guaranteed in this space, including SHIB’s potential surge to its previous ATH.

To hit the $0.00008845 target, SHIB must stage a rally of 559% from its current price of $0.00001342. While the growth rate seems massive, some experts are confident that SHIB will revisit the target. 

Changelly experts speculate that SHIB will surpass its previous ATH in December 2028 to a maximum target of $0.000089. 

Potential factors that could support SHIB’s surge to $0.00008845 include massive burns, institutional adoption of SHIB, and other positive Shiba Inu-related developments like an ETF.

Whistleblowers Net $100k as Binance Suspends Staff Over Insider Trading

Whistleblowers Net $100k as Binance Suspends Staff Over Insider Trading

Prominent crypto exchange Binance has suspended a staff member for alleged involvement in insider trading related to a newly launched meme coin.

In a Tuesday X post, Binance Wallet announced the suspension of an employee who allegedly used privileged information to profit from a new token launch. The prominent exchange stated it would pursue other legal action against the staff member in cooperation with local law enforcement authorities.

Specifically, the employee leveraged non-public information about a BNB Chain-based token set for its Token Generation Event (TGE) and front-ran its launch. Using multiple wallets, the staff member acquired a significant portion of the token’s supply and generated staggering gains from the position.

Employee Exploits Connections with BNB Chain

Earlier speculations alleged that the scheme came from the Binance Wallet team, where the employee worked before his suspension. However, the leading trading platform clarified that although he works there, the Wallet staff does not have access to such insider information.

Meanwhile, the staff member moved to the Wallet department a month ago from his former role as a business developer at the BNB Chain. Hence, he utilized privileged information from his old position to attain private information about the token, including its TGE plans.

Before the launch, data shows the employee spent $6,227 to acquire 24.1 million of the meme coin identified as UUU, about 2.4% of its total supply. Interestingly, he cashed out $113,000 shortly after the token’s market debut and had $200,000 in unrealized profits at one time.

Unfortunately, the scandal around the UUU token has pushed its price sideways, with the asset dropping over 36% from its high of $0.0149 to the current price of $0.009425.

Whistleblowers Net $100k Reward

Interestingly, the unfortunate situation benefitted whistleblowers, who netted $100,000 for providing relevant information to Binance. The exchange announced the reward for four email addresses, which it chose to keep anonymous, who submitted valid reports through its official whistleblowing channel and aided the investigation.

Binance noted that while some users shared evidence of the insider trading on X (formerly Twitter), it only formally acknowledged those shared through the platform. This, the exchange noted, was to protect the interests of the whistleblowers.

Notably, Binance has maintained a strict policy against insider trading among staff. It recently conducted a thorough investigation when reports emerged that an employee allegedly used privileged information to trade the BOME token but found the speculations false.

Binance BNB Breaks Major Head and Shoulders Pattern: All Eyes on $717

Binance Coin’s price approaches the $650 milestone, marking a crucial bullish breakout. Will this drive the BNB price above $700?

As the crypto market gradually recovers, Binance Coin (BNB) has surged 3.20% over the past 24 hours. With a streak of positive candles on the 4-hour chart, BNB has broken out bullishly.

Currently, Binance Coin trades at a market price of $644, with an intraday recovery of 1.05%. Will this bullish breakout push Binance Coin to $717?

Binance Coin Marks Inverse Head and Shoulder Pattern Breakout

On the 4-hour price chart, Binance Coin’s price trend shows a bullish breakout above the 61.80% Fibonacci level, priced at $639.

With the continued bullish momentum, the broader picture indicates a breakout of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. The neckline of this bullish pattern coincides with the 61.80% Fibonacci level.

As the bullish trend gains momentum, the MACD and signal lines show a positive crossover.

With the resurgence of bullish histograms, the momentum indicator suggests an extended bullish rally. Additionally, the trend reversal is confirmed by the positive crossover between the 100- and 200-EMA lines.

As the Binance Coin price bounces off the 50-EMA line, momentum builds, and buyers anticipate a rise to the previous swing high near $717.

BNB Open Interest Hits $900M

Amid the positive recovery, BNB derivatives data reveals a 9.93% surge in open interest, reaching $940 million. This indicates a significant increase in traders’ interest in Binance Coin.

Binance Coin Derivatives

Moreover, the long-to-short ratio has risen to 0.9968, showing neutrality in bullish and bearish positions. However, the long-to-short ratio on major exchanges like Binance and OKX is more bullish.

Liquidations over the past 24 hours have surged to $451,070, with short-side liquidations accounting for $311,390. While bullish sentiment is increasing, the bulls are seeking additional gains amid the negative funding rate.

Currently, the funding rate stands at -0.0254%, reflecting sellers paying a premium to the bullish players to hold on to their short positions.

Binance Smart Chain Surpasses Ethereum in 7-day DEX Volume

Amid the growing bullish sentiment, the Binance Smart Chain has recorded a 20.74% weekly surge in DEX volume. The 7-day volume on Binance Smart Chain now totals $13.25 billion, surpassing Ethereum’s $10.05 billion.

This positive trend in Binance Smart Chain activity is likely to drive an increase in demand for BNB, pushing the market price higher.

Legal Expert Predicts SEC Could Slash Ripple Fine From $125M to $10M

Legal Expert Predicts SEC Could Slash Ripple Fine From $125M to $10M

Attorney Fred Rispoli suggests that Ripple might pay a significantly lower fine than the court’s initial order of $125 million. 

Rispoli, founder of Hodl Law, made this prediction during a recent interview on the Thinking Crypto Podcast. Notably, suggested that the SEC’s decision to drop its appeal against Ripple despite a $125 million fine on the table deviates from expectations. 

In August 2024, Judge Analisa Torres ordered the company to pay $125 million in fines for failing to register its past institutional XRP sales with the SEC. This violation also prompted the judge to impose a permanent injunction on Ripple’s future institutional sales. 

Ripple Fine to Drop to $10M 

With the SEC dropping its appeal, Attorney Rispoli speculates that the parties would agree to have Ripple pay a significantly lower fine instead of the $125 million initially ordered. He predicts that Ripple might pay around $10 – $12 million, which aligns with the amount the company initially proposed. 

For context, Ripple made this proposal in April 2024 while responding to the SEC’s motion for remedies, where it demanded $2 billion. At the time, The Crypto Basic reported that Ripple sought to pay a fine of $10 million in civil penalty. 

The company also asked the court to dismiss the commission’s plea for disgorgement and prejudgment interest. However, Judge Torres ignored the parties’ requests and ordered the defendant to pay $125 million as fine. 

Ripple Complies with Court Order 

Last week, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse disclosed that the company had partially complied with the order. He said the company had paid the $125 million fine into an escrow account. 

Following the SEC’s dismissal move, Garlinghouse said Ripple intends to reclaim the $125 million fine and have the injunction dropped. He highlighted these demands as possible conditions the company might consider before it drops its cross-appeal.  

Despite Ripple’s demand, Attorney Rispoli still thinks the company might pay a significantly lower fine of around $10 – $12 million. However, he asserted that the SEC would dismiss the permanent injunction order, potentially allowing Ripple to raise funds in the capital markets and ultimately go public in the U.S. through an IPO. 

In the meantime, SEC commissioners are expected to approve the dismissal of Ripple’s appeal at a closed meeting this week. Afterward, the commission will issue a statement confirming it is no longer pursuing an appeal against Ripple.
