The rebound in crypto prices won't be short-lived as key market metrics show signs of recovery, Arca analysts said in a Monday note.

Dogecoin is experiencing renewed bullish momentum after a period of consolidation and correction. Technical analysis, including RSI breakouts, suggests a strengthening market sentiment for DOGE. The price is showing signs of recovery, trading above key support levels, indicating renewed buyer interest. Analyst Trader Tardigrade highlights a solid uptrend and an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern on the RSI, predicting further gains. If the uptrend continues, Dogecoin could reach its previous high of $0.21, potentially triggering a stronger rally. Crypto analyst BitGuru notes early signs of a rebound after a deep correction to $0.095. A sustained hold above $0.20 is crucial to confirm the bullish momentum and trigger a sustainable rally. Successfully holding above $0.20 would pave the way for a rapid advance towards the $0.25 resistance zone. These developments signal a potential short-term bullish shift for the meme coin. Both analysts emphasize the importance of key price levels for validating the bullish outlook.

A cryptocurrency analyst proposed an optimistic long-term buy plan for Cardano (ADA), predicting substantial price increases. The analyst's chart outlines a five-wave pattern, with potential targets reaching as high as $572 by 2034. The plan involves an initial rebound, a significant pullback, and then a series of dramatic gains in later waves. The forecast anticipates a final dip to around $0.20 in early 2026 before the upward trajectory begins. This ambitious scenario suggests possible gains of 3,34% or more. However, market indicators present a contrasting short-term outlook. ADA futures open interest has dropped to yearly lows, suggesting decreased investor interest. Simultaneously, short positions have increased, indicating bearish sentiment in the market. ADA's price had retreated by approximately 7% in the previous week, trading near $0.65. The analyst's high targets depend on a specific wave interpretation and a strong buying surge. The current trading data shows caution and potentially less momentum in the near term. The conflicting information means investors must evaluate long-term potential versus immediate market trends.

XRP's price is currently recovering after a recent downturn, showing signs of strength and aiming for $2.50. A crypto analyst, Remi Relief, shared a bold prediction on social media, using AI to forecast a substantial price surge for XRP. This forecast suggests XRP could reach $1,700, replicating its previous explosive growth from 2017-2018. The analyst's calculation, supported by AI tool Grok 3, revisits XRP's 2017 rally, highlighting a 76,000% increase rather than the commonly cited 64,000%. Applying this growth rate to XRP's current value results in the $1,700 price projection, correcting previous inaccuracies. The AI analysis acknowledges the speculative nature of crypto price projections and the potential for extraordinary price expansion. The analyst has revised his target, adopting the $1,700 estimate based on a repeat of the 2017-2018 rally. However, market conditions have changed drastically since XRP's initial boom, which was less regulated and driven by hype. Replicating such gains now requires capital inflows on an unprecedented scale, making this outcome highly improbable. A $1,700 XRP price would imply a market capitalization exceeding the combined value of the world's GDP. XRP is currently trading at $2.47, experiencing a 5.9% increase in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin is experiencing a minor recovery after recent market sell-offs, but instability remains. The cryptocurrency's price is fluctuating, making it challenging for traders to find firm ground. A well-known whale trader, BitcoinOG (1011short), has re-entered the market with a significant move. The whale deposited $30 million in USDC and initiated a 10x short position on 700 BTC, worth approximately $75.5 million. This action has intensified bearish sentiment, despite Bitcoin's attempt to surpass $110,000. The whale's short position is currently showing an unrealized profit of roughly $880,000. While the whale's moves are noteworthy, interpreting them as purely bearish may be an oversimplification. Bitcoin is showing some stability on its weekly chart, but is facing resistance around $117,500. The market's overall sentiment is neutral-to-bearish, with bulls hesitant after heavy liquidations. The coming days are crucial for Bitcoin's direction, with potential for increased market volatility.
