BNB Bulls Eye $1000 After Major Breakout

BNB’s breakout on June 5 pushed its market cap over $100 billion, sparking investor interest. This coincides with the start of Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao’s prison sentence.   Quick Take  BNB hits a record high of $716, pushing its market cap over $100 billion. This milestone has significantly attracted investor attention, highlighting the growing confidence in Binance Coin. The price surge of BNB coincides with the start of Changpeng Zhao’s (CZ) prison sentence. Despite initial concerns, the market's positive response suggests strong support for Binance’s leadership and future. BNB is expected to target $1000 soon. Technical analysis shows that the coin is maintaining a bullish trend, with support levels indicating further potential for growth.  BNB Price Hits New ATH BNB/USDT reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $716 on June 5. The market cap broke $100 billion, attracting significant investor attention. The daily trading volume soared to over $4 billion but has now cooled to $1.8 billion. As of Thursday, BNB was trading at $696, a 1.4% decrease in 24 hours and 16.9% in seven days.   Various factors, including the increased Binance Launchpad and Launchpool activity, Binance’s trading volume incentive program, the introduction of MEV solution, and others, led to this current hike to ATH. The same factors still exist in the market and can push the BNB price again. More importantly, the technical indicators also speak of the same. So let’s see how the charts will move for this altcoin.   Bullish Signals and Technical Analysis BNB/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin   The BNB price stays above the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMA), indicating a bullish trend. After a general market pump in March 2024, BNB surged to $650 and later consolidated.    The price action formed an ascending triangle, and on June 4, BNB broke out, hitting an ATH of $716. Investors expect BNB to reach $1000 soon, with possible resistance at $732, $850, and $1000. The 50-day SMA provides support at around $597.   On the last day, Binance Coin price has declined 4.30% and is moving away from the newly set ATH. This decline comes as the correction post setting the top value, and the sellers line up to sell at the best price. However, this isn’t always a continuous decline as the price moves up again after the correction. The same might happen for the BNB price, as the altcoin is highly bullish.   As per the technical indicators in the last one-hour time-frame, five indicators, including the STOCK (9,6), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (12, 26), and three other important indicators speak of the increased buying, whereas the ROC and Bull/Bears power, indicate the Selling pressure. More importantly, the Relative Strength Index is 54.12, which is in the neutral zone, explaining the balance between selling and buying.   Overall, the technical indicators and moving averages conclude a Buying zone, which will lead to an increase in BNB price than the current $700 mark.   Market Sentiment and Future Outlook BNB's price surge coincides with Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao’s prison sentence. Initially, the SEC’s case against CZ negatively impacted Binance, reducing volumes and market share.    However, the crypto community rallied behind CZ and Binance, regaining momentum after the court case ended. The recent listing of major cryptocurrencies, including Notcoin, boosted BNB’s volume and price.    Analysts Claim BNB Price Could Surge To $1000 Sheldon the Sniper, a crypto analyst, had earlier predicted the BNB price surging to as high as $1000 once the chart enters the $700 range. The analysis came on the 4th of June, and Sheldon highlighted the highly bullish nature of BNB, which might push its price way higher to $1000.   $BNB looking extremely bullish , soon to break all time high’s . Then $1000 next target Another coin to lead altcoin run pic.twitter.com/nXKaSnTrpI — Sheldon The Sniper (@Sheldon_Sniper) June 4, 2024   Kaleo, another crypto analyst, has also presented a correlation between the ongoing market conditions and the previous bull runs market conditions. As per him, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB are entering the price discovery zone, and the same conditions led to the bull run last time. More importantly, BNB was an early leader in that bull market. He also highlighted that it is true that, “history doesn’t always repeat itself, but it often rhymes.”   Final Thoughts The native token of the BNB Smart Chain (BNB), originally started by crypto exchange Binance, advanced 7% approaching its all-time record price and surpassing $100 billion in market capitalization. The token is benefiting from increased Binance Launchpool and Launchpad activities, where users can lock up BNB to participate in airdrops and new token launches.

Shiba Inu Burn Rate Rockets 3900% Amid Massive Whale Buying

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has grabbed attention with a massive 3900% increase in its burn rate. This surge comes as whales bought $35 million worth of SHIB, fueling optimism for a price rally, as per analysis by CoinGape.   Quick Take  Shiba Inu (SHIB) saw its burn rate increase by a staggering 3900% on June 6, according to Shibburn. This significant rise in burn rate occurred during a period of sideways price action for SHIB, highlighting the community's proactive efforts to reduce the circulating supply. In the past 24 hours, whales purchased over $35 million worth of SHIB, reflecting growing confidence in the cryptocurrency's future. Nine whale wallets collectively spent $35.2 million, acquiring 1.356 trillion SHIB at an average price of $0.00002596. This large-scale investment by whales is a strong indicator of optimism in SHIB’s potential for future gains. The combination of a dramatic burn rate increase and significant whale buying could lead to a surge in SHIB's price. With the supply reducing significantly, SHIB has maintained a crucial support level of $0.000025. If it continues to hold above this level, a short-term rally to $0.00003 is possible, with potential further gains to $0.00005 and even $0.0001. SHIB/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin TradingView    SHIB Burn Rate and Whale Activity Shiba Inu burn rate spikes | Source: ShibBurn    Shibburn reported that SHIB's burn rate soared by nearly 3900% on June 6. This happened during a period of sideways price action for SHIB. The burn rate spike coincided with significant whale buying, where two whales purchased over $35 million of SHIB in the past 24 hours.   In the last 24 hours, the SHIB community burned a total of 4.89 million tokens. A single wallet contributed 4.03 million SHIB to a dead wallet in one transaction. This proactive burning reduced the circulating supply significantly.   Nine whale wallets collectively spent $35.2 million, acquiring 1.356 trillion SHIB at an average price of $0.00002596. This large investment reflects growing confidence in SHIB's future potential.   Potential Shiba Inu Price Rally? Despite sideways action, SHIB has held above the crucial $0.000025 level. If it continues to trade above this level, a short-term surge to $0.00003 is possible. Further bullish momentum could propel SHIB to $0.00005 and potentially to the ambitious target of $0.0001.   As of now, SHIB/USDT trades at $0.00002569, up 0.53% on June 6. It holds a market cap of $15.12 billion, with a trading volume of $787.92 million, up 14.57% in the last 24 hours.   Shiba Inu's dramatic increase in burn rate and significant whale buying indicate strong market interest. The reduced supply could drive up SHIB's price, making it a cryptocurrency to watch.

Bitcoin Poised for Historic Breakout: 5 Key Insights This Week

Key Highlights $69,000 Resistance: Key level for BTC this week. US Unemployment Data: Crucial economic indicators coming up. Breakout Potential: BTC set for a historic move. Mining Activity: Miners adjusting to new conditions. Kraken Withdrawal: Significant BTC outflow from Kraken. Bitcoin heads into June strong, with key resistance levels back in focus. Analysts are increasingly confident that BTC is gearing up for a historic breakout. According to news on Coin Telegraph, here's what you need to know this week. $69,000 Forms the Week’s Key Level BTC/USDT 5D price chart | Source: KuCoin Bitcoin saw some volatility over the weekend, but BTC/USD is back above $69,000. Traders see this level as crucial. Popular trader Skew notes that the market needs to sustain above $69,000 for continued upward momentum. Unemployment Data Precedes FOMC Week The week kicks off quietly in terms of macroeconomic data. However, U.S. jobless claims on June 6 and further unemployment numbers the day after could spark volatility. These figures are closely watched, as they influence the Federal Reserve's policy decisions. The next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting will provide more clarity on interest rates. BTC Price Preps Breakout from ‘Longest Consolidation Yet’ Bitcoin is aligning with the U.S. M1 money supply, hinting at a significant breakout. Popular analyst TechDev highlights that Bitcoin has historically seen major surges after such alignments. This breakout follows the longest consolidation period in Bitcoin's history, suggesting a uniquely volatile move ahead. Mining Activity and Network Fundamentals Bitcoin’s network fundamentals are recovering after a dip in May. The difficulty level is set to increase by 1.7% on June 6, following a previous 1.5% rise. Despite these improvements, Bitcoin miners are facing tough conditions, selling off BTC post-halving. Miner balances have decreased by 2,500 BTC in the last 30 days. Kraken Sees Giant 48,000 BTC Withdrawal Kraken experienced nearly 50,000 BTC ($3.44 billion) withdrawals on May 30 and 31. This marks one of the largest daily withdrawals from Kraken. Market observers see this as a potential supply shock, suggesting a bullish outlook for BTC. Bitcoin is showing strong potential for a historic breakout. Key resistance levels, upcoming economic data, and significant network activity all point to an exciting week ahead. Keep an eye on these developments as the week progresses.

Robert Kiyosaki Predicts Bitcoin Will Hit $350,000 by August 2024

Robert Kiyosaki, the famous author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," made headlines with his bold prediction about Bitcoin price. As per a news report on Benzinga, he believes Bitcoin will reach $350,000 by August 2024.   Quick Take  Robert Kiyosaki, renowned author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," predicts that Bitcoin will hit $350,000 by August 2024. This projection has captured the attention of the crypto community and investors worldwide. Kiyosaki continues to invest heavily in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. He believes these assets will see significant value increases. Despite Bitcoin’s bullish trends, experts consider Kiyosaki's prediction unrealistic. Bitcoin has grown by 70% year-to-date, but reaching $350,000 would require a nearly 5X increase from its current price. BTC/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin TradingView    Kiyosaki's Bold Projection On Wednesday, Kiyosaki took to social media platform X to share his staggering prediction. He stated, "It's a prediction. It's speculation, it's an opinion, but it's not a lie." He expressed confidence that Bitcoin will hit $350,000 sometime in 2024, calling it a target, dream, and wish.   Kiyosaki's Continued Crypto Investment Kiyosaki mentioned he is buying more Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. He believes these cryptocurrencies will continue to soar in value. He also criticized President Joe Biden, Treasury Secretary Yellen, and Fed Chair Powell, dubbing them the "3 Stooges."   "What I am confident of is the incompetence of our leaders, President Biden, Treasury Secretary Yellin, and Fed Chair Powell. Protect your self from the 3- Stooges."   Market Reactions Kiyosaki has a history of making bold predictions. Earlier this year, he predicted Bitcoin would hit $100,000 by June 2024. With Bitcoin's price trajectory, this seems unlikely now. His latest prediction of $350,000 by August 2024 suggests a nearly 5X jump from its current price.   Experts view this forecast as unrealistic. Despite bullish catalysts like spot Bitcoin ETFs, Bitcoin has grown just 70% year-to-date. However, steady growth is expected due to demand from permanent holders and whales, according to Julio Moreno, Head of Research at CryptoQuant.   Kiyosaki's predictions continue to stir the crypto community. While his bold forecasts attract attention, market experts remain cautious. Keep an eye on Bitcoin's performance as these predictions unfold.

Top Analyst Reveals 5 Promising Altcoins Poised for Growth

Key Highlights Analyst Michaël van de Poppe recommends five promising altcoins. He recommends watching Optimism, Arbitrum, Woo Network, Wormhole, and Dogecoin. Each altcoin has unique factors contributing to its potential success. Michaël van de Poppe Recommends Five Altcoins After Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) gained approval, top analyst Michaël van de Poppe shared insights on five altcoins in a post on COINTURK News. His comments increased interest in the Ethereum ecosystem and created expectations for an altcoin surge. So, which altcoins are on van de Poppe's list, and why?   Optimism (OP) OP/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin TradingView    “I think a coin like Optimism could see a 300% to 800% increase in BTC value within the next six months. I believe this is very likely and probably the first round.”    Optimism tops van de Poppe’s list. It's an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution. He highlights its notable total value locked (TVL) ratio and low circulating supply. Van de Poppe believes Optimism could see a 300% to 800% increase in BTC value within six months.   Arbitrum (ARB)   “If you look at Arbitrum’s TVL, you’ll see it’s almost the same amount as its market cap. So, as the ecosystem grows, this is a super bullish sign. However, when we look at the price action, we see that it’s trash.”    Arbitrum, another Layer-2 solution, is next on the list. Despite struggling with its price since February, its strong ecosystem development and TVL make it a solid investment. Van de Poppe sees significant recovery potential for ARB. Woo Network (WOO) WOO/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin TradingView    “When Ethereum starts doing well and volumes are already waking up, WOO comes into play. Also, revenue is generated, so I think it’s a great thing to have. I think when the entire cycle starts for WOO, it could actually provide returns between 500% and 1,500%.”    Woo Network\, a decentralized exchange with high liquidity and low transaction fees, is a surprise addition. Van de Poppe expects WOO to benefit as Ethereum gains traction. He predicts WOO could provide returns between 500% and 1,500%.   Wormhole (W) W/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin TradingView    “I want to bet on secure Solana (SOL) solutions. The only tricky part about Wormhole is that the locks are still open, but it will take some time for these locks to be released, so I think it will do really well.”    Wormhole, a bridge for cross-chain interoperability, ranks fourth. Its role in the growing DeFi environment is crucial. Despite some concerns about lock releases, van de Poppe is optimistic about Wormhole's future performance.   Dogecoin (DOGE) DOGE/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin TradingView    “Like it or not, you see all meme coins doing well. Floki, Book of Meme, Bonk. All these meme coins are doing well. When you want to position yourself in Dogecoin, now is the time. It’s the easiest. It will do 4x to 5x or maybe even more.”   Lastly, van de Poppe chose Dogecoin, the leader in the memecoin market. He points to its price volatility and strong community support. Van de Poppe believes DOGE could provide significant gains during a market uptrend, predicting it could do 4x to 5x or even more.   Each altcoin has unique factors contributing to its potential success, making it worth watching in the coming months.

This article from CoinGape discusses the TON price analysis.    What Pushed the TON Price to New ATH? TON/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin TradingView   Toncoin has shown strong momentum this year, jumping from $2.2 to $7.78 in six months. This 3X gain has made TON a favorite among investors, surpassing Shiba Inu in the top ten cryptocurrencies. The increased demand and bullish market sentiment have supported this rally.   Crypto analyst Ali noted a significant increase in whale activity. Transactions over $100,000 surged by 237% on June 3, 2024. This accumulation by whales has increased buying pressure.   The number of large #Toncoin transactions (over $100,000) has surged by 237.5% in the past 24 hours! This significant increase in $TON whale activity suggests a strategic shift in their investments and positions. pic.twitter.com/iEHWFgxcp1 — Ali (@ali_charts) June 3, 2024   What's Next for TON Price? The TON price is currently 5% below its ATH, but the bullish trend remains strong. Technical analysis shows Toncoin is in the strong buy zone, with indicators like the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and momentum indicators supporting further gains.   However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 68, close to the overbought zone. If the RSI goes above 70, we might see a price reversal. Despite this, investor sentiment remains high, and TON could reach $7.85 in the coming days.   Toncoin has had a remarkable run, but caution is advised as technical indicators suggest potential volatility ahead. Keep an eye on RSI levels and whale activity for clues on the next move.

Top Analyst Reveals 3 Altcoins to Watch in Altcoin Season

Key Highlights Top Analyst Picks: Dan Gambardello's top three altcoins for the upcoming bull run. Cardano (ADA): Strong fundamentals and community-driven governance. Avalanche (AVAX): Positive narratives and potential institutional interest. DOG: The largest memecoin on the Bitcoin blockchain with high potential. Investors are keen to find top coins with substantial return potential as the crypto market gears up for the altcoin season. In a news article on Watcher Guru, crypto analyst Dan Gambardello recently shared his top three altcoin picks for the upcoming bull run: Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), and DOG.   Cardano (ADA) Gambardello’s first pick is Cardano, a top 10 cryptocurrency with strong fundamentals. He highlights Cardano's upcoming Voltaire upgrade, which will establish the largest on-chain governance system, fully run by the community. This demonstrates true decentralization. Gambardello also points out Cardano’s scaling potential and robust security. Despite often lagging in price, he believes Cardano will surge unexpectedly, similar to its past performance.   Avalanche (AVAX) Avalanche is Gambardello’s second pick. He believes AVAX has compelling narratives that could lead to significant gains. The ‘reinventing subnets’ proposal and potential institutional interest are key factors. John Wu, President of Ava Labs, has expressed optimism about an AVAX ETF. Gambardello sees this as a positive sign, indicating that Avalanche has the momentum for a strong bull market.   DOG The third pick, DOG, may surprise some, but Gambardello is confident in its potential. As a memecoin on the Bitcoin blockchain, DOG benefits from over $1 trillion in liquidity. Despite its current market cap of around $750 million and no tier 1 exchange listings, Gambardello compares DOG to the past performances of DOGE and Shiba. He believes DOG could be a top performer this cycle due to its fair distribution and strong community. Gambardello sees DOG as a high-risk, high-reward play.   Gambardello’s picks are based on careful study and consideration. He believes Cardano, Avalanche, and DOG have the potential to shock the market with their performance. Keep an eye on these altcoins as the market heads into altseason.

Bitcoin Set for $500K Surge: Expert Predicts Major Upswing in 18 Months

Key Highlights  Bitcoin recently reached a crucial price level of $70,000. After a previous correction to $56,500, BTC rebounded to $69,100. Chamath Palihapitiya forecasts Bitcoin could reach $500,000 by October 2025. Significant price increases typically occur within 6-18 months post-Halving. Bitcoin could become a primary store of value and transactional utility. Adoption as a dual-currency asset may drive demand for BTC. According to a news report on News BTC, Bitcoin (BTC) recently hit the crucial $70,000 level after several sessions of range-bound trading. This has been a significant hurdle for its price consolidation. Despite reaching a new all-time high (ATH) of $73,700 in March, BTC saw a 20% correction to around $56,500 in early May. However, this correction triggered renewed bullish momentum, with BTC now trading at approximately $69,100.   Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist and market expert, remains optimistic about Bitcoin's future. In a recent episode of the All In Podcast, Palihapitiya discussed BTC’s historical patterns concerning the Halving event, which occurs every four years and reduces the block reward for miners.   Palihapitiya noted that after a halving, investors usually spend the first three months reassessing the price and market situation. Historically, significant price appreciation occurs within six to 18 months.   Bitcoin Price and Halving Analysis BTC’s price prediction for the next 18 months after The Halving. Source. All In Podcast, Chamath Palihapatiya   The first Bitcoin halving on November 28, 2012, reduced the block reward from 50 BTC to 25 BTC. Bitcoin was priced at $13 then and peaked at $1,152 within a year. The second halving on July 16, 2016, reduced the block reward to 12.5 BTC. Bitcoin’s price at that time was $664, and it peaked at $17,760 within a year. The third halving on May 11, 2020, reduced the block reward to 6.25 BTC. Bitcoin was priced at $9,734, and within a year, it reached an ATH of $69,000.   Palihapitiya suggests that if Bitcoin follows its past performance, it could skyrocket to around $500,000 by October 2025.   He believes Bitcoin could replace gold and serve as a transactional utility for hard assets. This potential, combined with concerns about fiat currency debasement, presents intriguing opportunities for Bitcoin.   Increased Demand for BTC? Palihapitiya argues that as more countries adopt a dual-currency approach, recognizing Bitcoin alongside their local currency, the demand for BTC will increase. This shift will occur as people see the need for Bitcoin in daily transactions and as a store of value for permanent assets.   Overall, Palihapitiya’s analysis of Bitcoin’s historical patterns following the halving events provides an optimistic outlook. The potential for Bitcoin to reach $500,000 by October 2025 and its growing recognition as a dual-currency asset alongside fiat currencies offers renewed prospects for investors and the broader cryptocurrency market.
