Technical Analyst to XRP Holders: Believe Me When I Say This

The crypto market has been sending a clear signal for months, and analyst ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA) has laid out exactly what the data shows. Using historical Bitcoin dominance charts, he explained why the highly anticipated altseason has not materialized, and where XRP fits into the current picture. XRP has been consolidating for weeks. That stagnation contrasts sharply with Bitcoin’s performance over the same period. Bitcoin marked a bottom near $60,000 and pushed to $81,000. Believe me when i say this $XRP family. I want all our bags to perform like they never have before, i want us all to WIN. It just gets tiring to continuously see " #ALTSEASON IS COMING" when the data has said otherwise. That day is not this day, but it WILL come pic.twitter.com/m6zeszg9Iq — ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA) May 15, 2026 Bitcoin Dominance Is the Key Metric ChartNerd’s analysis centers on Bitcoin dominance as the primary indicator for altseason timing. Historical data shows a consistent pattern. When Bitcoin dominance drops, altcoins like XRP go parabolic . When it rises, capital concentrates in Bitcoin, and altcoins suffer. This cycle has broken from that pattern. Bitcoin dominance has continued to climb, and its price has risen alongside it. Altcoins, by contrast, have declined. ChartNerd noted that “Bitcoin dominance and Bitcoin have been sustainably climbing, whilst the overall coin space has been declining since 2021 for the last five years.” That is a five-year trend, not a short-term anomaly, but it might be changing. Why This Cycle Feels Different Previous cycles followed a readable sequence. Bitcoin would peak, then its dominance would fall. Following this, altcoins would surge . Investors who experienced 2017 and 2020 to 2021 built their expectations around that rhythm. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 This time, that sequence has not played out. Bitcoin continues to rise without rotating capital into the broader market. ChartNerd acknowledged this, saying, “There’s a massive divergence.” Some altcoins have outperformed, and he cited TON as one example. But those are outliers. The macro picture remains the same. Where XRP Stands XRP is not an exception to this trend. It is evidence of it. The asset has held a range while Bitcoin climbed, showing the same dynamic ChartNerd described across the altcoin market. Capital flight into Bitcoin is the dominant force right now. ChartNerd did not rule out an altseason. He said, “I think we’re closer to that than from it.” The data will signal when that shift begins, and a drop in Bitcoin dominance will be the clearest confirmation. Until that happens, the charts tell the same story they have been telling for months. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.

Solana Eyes $117 Breakout — If Bulls Can Crush This Key Resistance

The Solana price has struggled to shake off its early-year woes despite a slightly improved general market climate in recent weeks. After falling from a nearly $150 valuation in the first quarter of 2026, the altcoin has been stuck within a consolidation range between $75 and $100 over the past few months. The upper boundary of this consolidation zone proved formidable after the Solana price failed to fully capitalize on the injection of bullish momentum (triggered by news of the CLARITY Act passing the US Senate banking committee). A popular market analyst on the social media platform X has identified this specific resistance level and what lies on the other side for Solana. A Break Above $98 Could Mean A Sustained Rally For SOL Price In a recent post on the X platform, crypto pundit Ali Martinez pinpointed $98 as the level to break for the Solana price to reach its upside potential. According to the analyst, the cryptocurrency could embark on an approximately 30% rally if it sustains a break above this overhead resistance. Related Reading: XRP Leads Massive Crypto Rally As Traders Bet Big On US Regulatory Shift Martinez highlighted that the SOL token has been trading within a “well-defined” horizontal channel, with the lower and upper boundaries at $78 and $98, respectively. As a result of the CLARITY Act-induced market-wide rally, Solana’s price enjoyed some bullish momentum, only to be quickly truncated by the $98 ceiling. Having bounced back from this rejection around the pivot point at $88, Martinez believes the altcoin could be returning to the channel ceiling for another breakout attempt. The crypto trader noted that if the price of Solana does manage to break and close above the $98 (on the daily timeframe), investors could see a surge toward $107. However, that is only an immediate target, as Martinez believes the Solana price could travel further up towards its secondary target at $117. As hinted earlier, this secondary target represents a more than 30% uptick from the current price point. At the same time, Martinez offered an alternative scenario where the $98 resistance refuses to give way. According to the market analyst, the price of Solana could experience a pullback to the $88 pivot point — or even to as low as the channel floor at $78 — if the resistance continues to hold strong. In any case, the general market condition would need to improve if the altcoin is to enjoy sustained upside, especially given how sensitive financial markets have been to broader market dynamics in 2026. Solana Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of SOL stands at around $89.33, reflecting an over 3% decline in the past 24 hours.
