The Bitcoin price crash is in focus following the flagship crypto’s recent drop to as low as $103,700. Crypto analyst Captain Faibik has commented on why $107,500 and $103,500 are the most important levels to watch as BTC looks to decide its next move.  Why $107,500 & $103,500 Are Key For The Bitcoin Price In an X post, Captain Faibik explained that $107,500 and $103,500 are key as the bulls and bears battle to dictate the next move for the Bitcoin price. The analyst noted that later this week, BTC bulls will attempt to reclaim the $107,500 resistance and regain momentum.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Risks Break Down To $92,000 As It Enters Accumulation Phase He predicted that a clean break and hold above $107,500 could trigger a bullish leg toward the $117,000 level, which would mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the flagship crypto. Meanwhile, on the other hand, $103,500 is an important support level which the bulls must defend as the Bitcoin price eyes new highs. Captain Faibik warned that a breakdown below could shift momentum back in favor of the bears.  The Bitcoin price had surged above $106,000 on May 2 following news about the US decision to extend its pause of tariffs on some Chinese goods to August. This provided a bullish outlook for the flagship crypto after Donald Trump stated last week that China had violated the trade deal with the US.  Trump and China’s president are set to have a call later this week, which could further boost the Bitcoin price if both sides could resolve any dispute regarding the current trade deal. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Jerome Powell failed to discuss the economy during his speech at the International Finance Division Anniversary Conference, which also continues to fuel market uncertainty.  First Step For BTC Is To Get Back Above $106,500 In an X post, crypto analyst Kevin Capital indicated that the first step is for the Bitcoin price to successfully reclaim $106,500. He noted that BTC had recorded a weekly close below this level, which puts the flagship crypto back in the danger zone. The analyst further remarked that BTC needs to get back above this level in the coming days or things can get “sketchy looking.” Kevin Capital added that this has been a key level for months, and nothing has changed.   Related Reading: Bitcoin Rise To $111,000 ATH Doesn’t Mean The Market Is Bullish, Certified Expert Says Meanwhile, crypto analyst Titan of Crypto revealed that a Katana is forming on the weekly chart for the Bitcoin price. He explained that in Ichimoku analysis, a Katana forms when Tenkan and Kijun overlap. This signals low momentum and market equilibrium. He added that this development also precedes strong directional moves, with an expansion or pullback on the horizon.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $105,435, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

A Coinbase insider scandal exposed 70,000 users’ personal data, triggering debates on rethinking crypto’s KYC systems.

Bitcoin rose 50% in 45 days from April into May, before reaching a new all-time-high just shy of $112K. Since then, it’s fallen 6%, sitting now right at $105K. Was the ATH a rare surge, and have Bitcoin’s fundamentals returned to something more pessimistic? Or is this a temporary pullback with strong support underneath? Evidence points more to the latter, especially with news that Bitcoin miners in Nigeria are addressing one of the longest-standing objections to crypto. And that could set Bitcoin, and the Bitcoin meme coin BTC Bull token, up for big moves in the weeks to come. Bitcoin Goes Green in Nigeria, Answers Longstanding Criticism Nigerian startup Green Flare aims to take environmentally-damaging natural gas flares (burn-offs) and turn them into Bitcoin. Specifically, they’ll use the energy generated by burning off the natural gas to power large-scale Bitcoin mining operations. Once the three-stage project is completed, it will generate 53MW of energy for Bitcoin mining rigs. Burning off gas from oil production is a leading producer of greenhouse gases, including methane. And Nigeria ranks in the top 10 for gas flaring emissions, accounting for 75% of global flaring, according to World Bank’s 2023 data. At the same time, producing Bitcoin required so much energy that, in 2023, total global Bitcoin mining operations would have ranked 27th in the world in energy consumption. According to the same UN report, 66% of the energy used to mine Bitcoin came from fossil fuels. In light of this data, Green Flare’s plan makes perfect sense. Offsetting Bitcoin’s emissions footprint by capturing and using energy that would otherwise have been wasted? A great plan, if we’ve ever seen one Two of the three sites should be live by Q4 of 2025. The investment shows the increasing maturity of the crypto and Bitcoin economies. Despite Pullback, Bitcoin Remains ‘Structurally Strong’ According to the experts at Bitfinex, Bitcoin is undergoing its first meaningful correction since the April lows, cooling off after a relentless 50 percent surge that took the asset from $74,501 to a new All-Time High of $111,880. The current pullback reflects a change in tempo, following nearly 50 days of uninterrupted upside marked by minimal retracements. —Bitfinex, Bitfinex Alpha The pullback is more than a technical correction; the ‘TACO’ phenomenon – for ‘Trump Always Chickens Out – continues to keep tariffs and the trade economy in a state of uncertainty and volatility. That impacts Bitcoin directly and indirectly. More disposable income encourages retail traders, while higher Treasury rates often cause risk-adverse investors to shift towards T-bills and away from Bitcoin. But despite the external and internal factors leading to the correction, Bitfinex reports: We believe Bitcoin remains structurally strong. This correction appears to be a healthy reset rather than a breakdown —Bitfinex, Bitfinex Alpha Trump’s TACO moves might be a sign of instability, or galaxy-brained chess moves; either way, Bitcoin looks strong beneath the surface, and poised for future growth. When it does head back up, will it take BTC Bull Token with it?

According to a recent video by angel investor and crypto influencer Armando Pantoja, many XRP holders feel stuck as rival coins keep climbing. He pointed out that focusing only on getting XRP to $10,000 misses the point. Instead, he urged people to look at returns and real uses. This shift in perspective could change how investors see the token’s potential. Related Reading: Pepe Makes It To Trump’s Feed—Is A Crypto Endorsement Next? Emphasis On ROI Based on reports, Pantoja noted that wanting XRP at $10,000 is unrealistic. He said you can get the same gains without waiting for that sky-high price. For example, Bitcoin would need to hit over $300,000 to triple your stake if you bought it at today’s levels. But XRP only needs to reach about $8 from its current trading price near $2.30 to yield the same ROI. That’s a big gap. If you bought XRP at $2.30, a move to $8 feels more achievable—for some, at least. While Bitcoin’s market cap towers over others, XRP’s total value is around 7% of that of Bitcoin’s. This smaller size means it could swing more on positive news. Should I sell all my $XRP for $BTC Just got back from #bitcoinconference2025 pic.twitter.com/CobVAasjbC — Armando Pantoja (@_TallGuyTycoon) May 30, 2025 Comparing Market Caps And Gains Bitcoin recently touched a new all-time high near $112,000. Meanwhile, XRP held around $2.30 in value. Investors pointed to this gap as proof that XRP had no momentum. But Pantoja reminded his audience that XRP climbed over 300% over the past year, while Bitcoin rose by 50% over the same period. Those figures show that past performance for XRP has outpaced Bitcoin’s in percentage terms. This is based on reports that track prices from June last year to now. Still, the wider market’s focus tends to follow Bitcoin’s chart. When BTC booms, altcoins often run too. But sometimes they trail behind or fall back harder. XRP’s Payment Use Case Based on reports around its network, XRP stands out for speed and cost. It can settle a payment in a matter of seconds and handle up to 1,500 transactions per second. That’s fast, especially when compared to the SWIFT network used by banks. Fees are low enough that moving funds across borders can cost mere pennies. Pantoja said this real-world utility is more valuable than hype. He urged investors to think about banks or money-service companies adopting XRP for cross-border transfers. Such adoption could drive demand more than price rumors ever will.
