XRP golden cross nears as bullish scenarios toward $2 assessed

XRP has moved close to forming a golden cross after a sharp rebound in August, while holding above its 200-day moving average. It traded around $1.40 after a roughly 1.5 percent intraday dip, with another quote placing it near $1.35. Two bullish paths were outlined: consolidation between $1.35 and $1.50, or a faster breakout above $1.50 on stronger volume. Both require defending the 200-day average.

Bitcoin \'Bart Simpson\' pattern resurfaces; break below $75,800 may signal sharp drop

Bitcoin has moved sideways in the $77,000 range after a sharp rise in August, heightening market caution over a potential steep drop. Some analysts say the chart could form a so-called “Bart Simpson” pattern, in which prices surge, trade in a tight range and then quickly return toward the starting point. Traders are focused on $75,800, which could strengthen bearish expectations if broken. Seasonal weakness in September and upcoming Fed policy decisions are also in focus.
