XRP and BNB have taken center stage this week, sparking fresh enthusiasm in the cryptocurrency space. XRP is holding firmly above the $3 mark, driven by SBI Holdings’ expansion of institutional lending services in Japan and mounting anticipation surrounding multiple spot ETF applications currently under review in the United States. The prospect of initial ETF decisions beginning October 18 has intensified trading activity, with XRP briefly climbing from $2.98 to $3.06 on volumes exceeding 212 million tokens. However, strong selling pressure near $3.10 capped the rally, leaving the coin consolidating between $3.00 and $3.05. Analysts see the $2.99–3.00 range as near-term support, while sustained closes above $3.10 could pave the way for a move toward $3.20.
BNB also delivered a notable breakout, surging past $1,100 and channeling capital flows into ecosystem projects. PancakeSwap’s CAKE token jumped nearly 30% in 24 hours, while several newly listed ecosystem tokens posted double-digit gains. Still, derivatives data revealed $97 million in BNB liquidations over the same period, suggesting leverage was flushed from the market despite limited increases in total value locked (TVL).
Meanwhile, DOGE continued to trade sideways, fluctuating between $0.251 and $0.264. Buyer activity clustered near the $0.251–0.253 zone, while resistance emerged at $0.262–0.264. Technical patterns indicate a broadening formation alongside hidden positive divergence, with analysts noting that a decisive break above $0.264 could reignite momentum toward the $0.34 target.
