Bitcoin Could Reassert Control of Crypto Market as XRP May Begin Notable Recovery

• XRP rebounded from under $2.00 to ~$2.55 on a volume spike

• Bitcoin cleared the $115,000 resistance zone and holds bullish medium-term structure

• Shiba Inu avoided adding an extra zero, stabilizing above $0.0000100 after the flash crash

XRP price recovery: swift rebound from sub-$2.00 to $2.55, Bitcoin strength and SHIB stabilization — read COINOTAG’s market update today in depth.

What caused the XRP price recovery?

XRP price recovery owes to a rapid liquidity flush that removed leveraged positions and triggered aggressive short covering, producing a sharp volume spike and price rebound. The move recovered key technical levels, with the immediate test now being consistent daily closes above $2.00 and a sustained break above the 200-day EMA.

On-chain indicators and exchange flow showed a concentration of forced exits during the crash, followed by buying from value-seeking traders. Plain-text sources consulted for this report include Glassnode on-chain metrics and TradingView market data; these showed elevated volume and reduced exchange balances around the lows.

Is the XRP rally sustainable?

The rally can be sustained only if three conditions hold: consistent daily closes above $2.00, continued volume supporting advances, and confirmation above the 200-day EMA. Current RSI readings indicate recovery from oversold levels but remain below neutral, pointing to possible volatility ahead. COINOTAG market strategist notes: “The sharp rebound has technical merit, but traders should await multi-day confirmation and improving on-chain transfer volumes before treating this as a durable trend change.” Plain-text references: TradingView price data, Glassnode on-chain reports.

Bitcoin in control

Bitcoin has again asserted market leadership after breaking and holding above the critical resistance area near $115,000. The move followed a recovery from the 200-day moving average near $108,000, showing buyers stepping in at historically meaningful support.

Price is currently trading in a tight band between $114,300 and $115,500, with the next significant liquidity cluster poised around $116,000. That zone historically attracts short-term sell orders and profit-taking. If Bitcoin can absorb liquidity above $116,000, the logical medium-term target becomes the $120,000–$122,000 range, which has previously sparked aggressive corrections.

Technical structure remains bullish. The 50-day EMA is curving up, signaling renewed momentum, while RSI sits just below overbought territory, implying room for further upside before exhaustion. Volume patterns show buyers supporting the advance, but order-book density around the mid-$116k level suggests potential short-term pauses or pullbacks.

Shiba Inu zero addition canceled

Shiba Inu narrowly avoided the symbolic and psychologically significant step of “adding another zero” during the flash crash. The token tested deep support near $0.0000100 but rebounded to roughly $0.0000109, driven by bargain-hunting and short-covering activity.

Historically, SHIB has attracted buying pressure when approaching that accumulation-range support born in 2023. The recent volume profile shows participant reluctance to sell below the $0.0000100 threshold, suggesting a temporary exhaustion of bearish momentum. Nevertheless, SHIB still trades below major moving averages, including both the 100-day and 200-day EMAs, indicating that macro resistance remains intact.

If momentum stalls, SHIB could retest the $0.0000120–$0.0000130 area on the upside or slide slightly lower on renewed selling pressure. For now, the refusal to “add a zero” is a resilience signal, but traders should watch liquidity bands and daily closes for confirmation of any sustained recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did XRP fall nearly 60% and then recover so quickly?

A concentrated liquidity event forced rapid deleveraging, producing a near 60% intraday drop. The subsequent recovery combined short-covering, opportunistic buying and a volume spike that rebalanced order books. Consistent buy-side volume and multi-day closes above $2.00 are the best validators of this rebound.

Will Bitcoin’s breakout above $115,000 lead to a fresh all-time high?

Bitcoin’s breakout shows momentum, but reaching fresh all-time highs depends on absorbing liquidity at $116,000–$122,000 and sustained institutional and retail demand. Monitor 50-day and 200-day moving averages, plus volume confirmation, for clearer odds.

Key Takeaways

• XRP recovery: A sharp rebound from sub-$2.00 to ~$2.55 looks like a liquidity flush and short-covering, but confirmation requires sustained daily closes above $2.00 and rising volume.
• Bitcoin leadership: BTC’s break above $115,000 reaffirms market dominance; the $116,000 liquidity wall is the next key test before targeting $120k+.
• SHIB stability: Shiba Inu avoided adding a zero, showing short-term resilience, though macro resistance remains with prices below major EMAs.

Conclusion

The market’s recent action reflects rapid risk repricing across major assets. XRP price recovery appears meaningful if volume and multi-day closes confirm, while Bitcoin continues to lead with a structurally bullish setup and key liquidity levels to watch. Shiba Inu showed resilience but remains below long-term moving averages. For traders and investors, the next 48–72 hours of confirmed closes and exchange flow data will determine whether these moves evolve into sustained trends.
