A long-cycle analysis says Bitcoin has repeatedly been declared finished after major shocks such as the Mt Gox hack, China’s trading restrictions and the Terra and FTX collapses, but has rebounded each time to set new highs. The review divides the 2009-2026 period into seven cycles and charts sharp sell-offs followed by recoveries. It also notes episodes of heavy liquidations and a recent geopolitical shock in early 2026.

XRP is retesting a long-term support zone near the lower boundary of an uptrend channel, prompting some market participants to raise the possibility of a move to $12. Analysts cite monthly chart structure and momentum indicators such as RSI as supportive, while a two-week chart shows a pullback toward a breakout area with an 8 to $14 target range. Still, a break below $1.33 could shift attention to around $0.93.
