Meanwhile XRP reaches a new all-time high.

The surge in ETH appears linked to a rotation of capital from Bitcoin into altcoins, with Ether showing strength in both USD and BTC pairings. ETH/BTC broke above its 200-day moving average for the first time in a year.
ETH Outperforms BTC
- ETH regained $3,000 for the first time since February 1
- ETH/BTC broke a three-year downtrend in relative strength index (RSI)
- Ethereum has rebounded 100% since Q2 lows
Bitcoinâs Correction
- BTC dropped 5% after touching $120,000
- CME futures gap between $114,380 and $115,630 remains unfilled
- Whale activity spiked on Binance, increasing sell pressure
With 98% of BTC supply in profit and increased profit-taking from long-term holders, analysts warn of continued volatility. Some predict Bitcoin may correct further to $108,000 while Ethereum continues its lead in the altcoin market.
XRP Sets New Record
XRP surged to a new all-time high of $3.64 on July 18, climbing more than 18% in a single day. The move pushed XRPâs market cap past $207 billion, making it the third-largest cryptocurrency by valuation.
While XRP continues its surge, analysts are monitoring for possible short-term resistance near $3.80. Sell-offs totaling $1.7 billion in the past 10 days suggest traders may take profits if volatility returns.
