Bitcoin has bounced nearly 5% from today’s low of near $88,400, right at the edge of falling-wedge support. While the rebound was strong, the daily price chart shows a meager 2% uptick. It certainly doesn’t do justice to the strength the Bitcoin price showed over the past few hours. The move happened quickly and followed the price, briefly tapping the lower trend line, raising the question of whether this could mark the start of a short-term bottom. But as strong as the rebound looks, one or rather two major resistance zones still decide whether the trend has flipped. A Falling Wedge Rebound, and a Rare On-Chain Divergence Appears The falling wedge has been guiding Bitcoin’s drop for weeks, and today’s reaction shows the lower boundary is still active. What makes the bounce more interesting is the on-chain behavior behind it. Bitcoin’s Falling Wedge: TradingView Between November 14 and November 19, the Bitcoin price made a lower low, but the SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) made a higher low, rising from 0.98 to 0.99. SOPR shows whether the coins being spent were bought at a profit or a loss. When SOPR drops below 1, most traders are selling at a loss.

SOPR Divergence Flashes: Glassnode When it climbs while the price continues to fall, it means holders are not panic-selling and are refusing to exit at cheaper prices. That reflects a strong conviction. A similar pattern showed up between March 30 and April 8. The BTC price made a lower low then too, while SOPR rose from 0.994 to 0.998, even though the market was still in a downtrend. That divergence marked the bottom. From there, Bitcoin rallied from $76,270 to $111,695 — a 46% surge, within weeks. The same style of on-chain divergence is now flashing again inside the falling wedge. Do note that technical divergences can fail in heavy downtrends. On-chain divergences matter more because they reflect real spending behavior rather than just chart patterns. Heavy Supply Zones Still Block the Trend Reversal However, for the SOPR divergence to play out, the Bitcoin price needs to cross key levels. Glassnode’s URPD (UTXO Realized Price Distribution) data shows two supply clusters that sit right above the current rebound. The first is around $95,900, and the next sits close to $100,900. First BTC Resistance Or Supply Cluster: Glassnode These levels also align with the key technical resistance zones that we will discuss next. UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) shows how much supply was last moved at each price level. It highlights where large clusters of holders sit, which often act as support or resistance. Higher BTC Supply Cluster: Glassnode These are regions where many past buyers may try to exit again. Clearing both levels is the confirmation that turns a bounce into a trend reversal. Bitcoin Price Levels That Matter The Bitcoin price first needs to move past $95,700, the same level that rejected the recovery on November 15. This resistance level also aligns with the first URPD cluster, mentioned earlier. If it clears that, it can attack $100,200, which is both a Fibonacci barrier and sits below the URPD cluster at $100,900. Only above this zone can the falling wedge truly flip bullish. If BTC price loses the recent low near the wedge floor at $88,400, the price risks sliding lower if sentiment weakens. Bitcoin Price Analysis: TradingView For now, Bitcoin has delivered a clean wedge bounce and a rare on-chain divergence. Those two together raise the odds of a bottom forming. But the resistances at $95,700 and then at $100,200 still decide whether Bitcoin just turned bullish — or if this is only a temporary bounce.Bitcoin has bounced nearly 5% from today’s low of near $88,400, right at the edge of falling-wedge support.

A Falling Wedge Rebound, and a Rare On-Chain Divergence Appears

The falling wedge has been guiding Bitcoin’s drop for weeks, and today’s reaction shows the lower boundary is still active. What makes the bounce more interesting is the on-chain behavior behind it.

FCA, crackdown on crypto

FCA, crackdown on crypto

The post FCA, crackdown on crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The regulation of cryptocurrencies in the United Kingdom enters a decisive phase. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated a consultation to set minimum standards on transparency, consumer protection, and digital custody, in order to strengthen market confidence and ensure safer operations for exchanges, wallets, and crypto service providers. The consultation was published on May 2, 2025, and opened a public discussion on operational responsibilities and safeguarding requirements for digital assets (CoinDesk). The goal is to make the rules clearer without hindering the sector’s evolution. According to the data collected by our regulatory monitoring team, in the first weeks following the publication, the feedback received from professionals and operators focused mainly on custody, incident reporting, and insurance requirements. Industry analysts note that many responses require technical clarifications on multi-sig, asset segregation, and recovery protocols, as well as proposals to scale obligations based on the size of the operator. FCA Consultation: What’s on the Table The consultation document clarifies how to apply rules inspired by traditional finance to the crypto perimeter, balancing innovation, market integrity, and user protection. In this context, the goal is to introduce minimum standards for all firms under the supervision of the FCA, an essential step for a more transparent and secure sector, with measurable benefits for users. The proposed pillars Obligations towards consumers: assessment on the extension of the Consumer Duty – a requirement that mandates companies to provide “good outcomes” – to crypto services, with outcomes for users that are traceable and verifiable. Operational resilience: introduction of continuity requirements, incident response plans, and periodic testing to ensure the operational stability of platforms even in adverse scenarios. Financial Crime Prevention: strengthening AML/CFT measures through more stringent transaction monitoring and structured counterpart checks. Custody and safeguarding: definition of operational methods for the segregation of client assets, secure…

From Under $0.0025 to $0.25 Over the Next 10 Weeks? Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Named Best Crypto to Buy in 2025 Over Ripple (XRP)

From Under $0.0025 to $0.25 Over the Next 10 Weeks? Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Named Best Crypto to Buy in 2025 Over Ripple (XRP)

The post From Under $0.0025 to $0.25 Over the Next 10 Weeks? Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Named Best Crypto to Buy in 2025 Over Ripple (XRP) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency sector is dynamic and vital for major and minor players alike. With every boom, new categories of tokens are introduced that make new market predictions based on new sets of metrics.  Many believe that, apart from having an appreciated use case that makes it easily attain adoption, Ripple (XRP) has already established itself as a vital part of the blockchain system. But as it turns out, a new competitor, Little Pepe (LILPEPE), has generated significant buzz. Little Pepe is projected to appreciate to 100x its current price of 0.0021, reach 0.25 in 2025, and is considered a top pick for 2025. Ripple (XRP): Dependable but Predictable Ripple has dominated cross-border payment technology for many years. Priced at around $2.98, Ripple remains well supported by partnerships with industry leaders and its increasing contribution to payment processing.  Analysts predict XRP to be at the $7 to $10 range by 2026 and the recent favorable legal rulings Ripple has received in the United States has heightened optimism surrounding the token. For conservative investors, XRP represents stability in an otherwise volatile sector. However, its large market capitalization makes 50x or 100x gains virtually impossible within one cycle. Ripple is a strong asset in the utility sense, but lacks the utility that smaller tokens can bring. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Presale Energy With a Twist Little Pepe is capturing the attention of investors with its outstanding presale performance. Currently, the presale is in Stage 12, and each stage sells out faster and faster. presale is at $0.0021.  Each stage is selling out faster and faster. Analysts speculate the token could rise to $0.25 within 10 weeks after listing. Such a rise would be one of recent memory’s most remarkable early runs. What makes Little Pepe different is its dual identity. On the surface, it…
