Trader Don says Shiba Inu (SHIB) may be set for a momentum-driven breakout if it decisively clears a long-running descending resistance. He points to SHIB's market cap near $3.38 billion and outlines potential milestones at $3.74 billion, $8.54 billion, and $20 billion, with corresponding price references tied to the current supply.

Market analyst Matt Hughes says Ripple's XRP is forming a breakout structure but still needs a decisive close above the $1.51 resistance zone. He cites repeated rejections over the past four months, with recent peaks at $1.54 on May 14 and prior pushes to $1.65 after a Feb. 6 low near $1.10 and to around $1.60 on March 17. If confirmed, Hughes flags $2.71 as the next key resistance, while commentator Celal Kucuker argues a full breakout could extend toward $15.

XRP is showing its most compressed Bollinger Band setup on the 3-day chart in more than a year, with analyst Ali Martinez saying such conditions often precede a sharp volatility expansion. He marked the squeeze range at $1.29–$1.50, with a 3-day close above $1.50 potentially opening a move toward $1.80, while a close below $1.29 could undermine the bullish structure and risk a drop toward $1.

Cardano (ADA) drew fresh bullish attention after chartist Celal Kucuker said on May 14, 2026 that its long-term structure looks "beautiful" and leaves a clean route toward $4. He highlighted $1 as a key breakout level and pointed to a potential $4.21 zone, while ADA traded around $0.2668 at the time. Separately, data cited from Santiment shows wallets holding at least 1 million ADA control about 67.47% of supply, or roughly 25.09 billion tokens, the highest concentration since mid-2020.

U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $171.2 million in net withdrawals on Thursday, marking their biggest daily outflow in three weeks. Bitcoin fell below $67,000 on Friday for the first time since March 9 and was last quoted at $66,271 after sliding 6.3% over the past week.

Two long-term Bitcoin holders sold more than 1,650 BTC valued at over $117.87 million on Thursday, including 650 BTC sent to Kraken and another 1,000 BTC sold by an investor from 13 years ago.

A long-term fractal comparison between the 2017–2018 and 2024–2026 cycles indicates that XRP's decline from its $3.65 all-time high may be recreating a prior structure that ended in a strong bottom and sharp rebound. Technicals show a symmetrical triangle with key resistance between $1.78 and $2.30, while on-chain data highlight dense supply near $1.80 and $2. At the same time, spot XRP ETFs have amassed about $1.4 billion in assets and Ripple has announced a $750 million share buyback at a $50 billion valuation, underscoring sustained institutional interest.

Pseudonymous quantitative analyst PlanB, known for the Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow model, has released an updated outlook suggesting BTC's average price in the 2024‑2028 cycle could reach around $500,000. He argues Bitcoin appears significantly undervalued at about $67,000, while still warning that there are no guarantees and that price volatility and sharp drawdowns remain likely.

Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone has projected that Bitcoin could eventually slide to $10,000, linking this scenario to a potential peak in U.S. equities and an approaching recessionary phase. After rebounding from $65,300 on Feb. 12 to $70,800 on Feb. 15, Bitcoin was trading at $68,241 and 2.3% lower week-on-week, while McGlone argued the long-running "buy the dip" mindset since 2008 may be fading as the broader "crypto bubble" unwinds.
