<p>Bitcoin still sets the tone, sitting at $87,481, while alts split between old liquidity and new listing heat. Into the rest of Tuesday, majors look range-bound unless BTC can press back to the $91,488 weekly reference, with volume remaining the main scoreboard — NIGHT remains a launch-week trade, XRP remains the liquid rail and SHIB remains pinned to a liquidation-era floor.</p>

<p><a href="https://x.com/PeterLBrandt/status/2003229079462617347?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Peter Brandt</a>, a trading veteran with 50 years of experience, focused on one uncomfortable statistic: Bitcoin’s long bull phases have repeatedly been followed by drawdowns that cut at least 80% off the top. He ties that pattern to five parabolic advances on a log scale across<a href="https://u.today/vaneck-bitcoin-miner-capitulation-may-signal-bottom" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin’s 15-year history</a> but adds that the current cycle is “not done yet.”</p>
<p>The weekly TradingView snapshot attached here shows BTC at $88,398.9. If you apply Brandt’s “-80%” reminder to that level, it makes $17,680 per Bitcoin a real target.</p>

<p>Interestingly, though, Brandt also sets a timeline for what he projected as the next bull market high that may occur in September 2029. That reframes Tuesday’s mood as a cycle discussion, which many already called "dead."</p>
<p>The bottom line is that short-term weakness can coexist with a long-term bullish map, but leverage tends to get punished first when the market chooses to reset.</p>
<h2 id="xrp-restores-its-volume-dominance-over-new-cardano">XRP restores its volume dominance over "new Cardano"</h2>
<p>Midnight (NIGHT), tied to Cardano’s new privacy chain, is still printing launch-week numbers: $1.33 billion market cap and $1.66 billion in 24-hour trading volume, according to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">CoinMarketCap</a>. The ratio is the point — 123% volume to market cap — showing activity that is bigger than the valuation.</p><img src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/nightcoinmarketcap.jpg" alt="&quot;&quot;">
<p>That is also why NIGHT could briefly compete with majors by turnover and even push into the top group by volume during its initial burst. Even after a -18.68% 24-hour move, NIGHT remains a top-nine volume asset on the table, despite being far lower by size.</p>
<p><a href="https://u.today/everyone-is-bearish-on-xrp-right-now-and-that-is-the-bullish-part" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP is where the rotation landed</a>, as it prints $1.88 with $2.54 billion in 24-hour volume and a $114.39 billion market cap, putting it back ahead of NIGHT on daily turnover while staying in a different league by valuation.</p>
<h2 id="shiba-inu-shib-may-find-bottom-at-black-friday-level">Shiba Inu (SHIB) may find bottom at "Black Friday" level</h2>
<p><a href="https://u.today/shiba-inu-burn-rate-crashes-overnight-as-shib-price-reverses-gain" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Popular meme coin Shiba Inu (SHIB)</a> keeps finding bottoms and then printing another lower one. The<a href="https://www.tradingview.com/x/vxglkyrX/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TradingView</a> chart shows SHIB at $0.00000717 after a session range between $0.00000728 and $0.00000711, with the bigger structure trending lower since November.</p>
<p>The main reference is the Oct. 10 low, nicknamed “Black Friday” after a day of $40 billion in crypto liquidations. Those liquidation extremes often leave behind levels that act like magnets later because that is where forced selling ended and long liquidity is stacked.</p><img src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/shibtradingblack.png" alt="&quot;&quot;">
<p>On the Shiba Inu coin chart, that area is marked at $0.00000678. From the current $0.00000717 print, the distance is 5.44%. If SHIB tags that zone and holds it, it becomes the first obvious base candidate in weeks. If it loses it, the next visible handle on the chart is $0.0000065, extending the downtrend.</p>
<h2 id="crypto-market-outlook">Crypto market outlook</h2>
<p>If you are stepping into crypto this Tuesday, the big picture is simple. Bitcoin is camped in the mid-$80,000s, XRP is back in the driver’s seat for fast rotations after NIGHT’s launch-week fireworks cooled and SHIB is still drifting to the liquidation-era low marked on the chart.</p>
<p>Bitcoin (BTC): Near $87,500. Upside target $91,500 first, then $93,900. If it rolls over, watch $85,000, then $80,000.</p>
<p>XRP: Around $1.88. The make-or-break level is $2. If it stays under, $1.80 is the next checkpoint, then $1.70.</p>
<p>Midnight (NIGHT): Around $0.08 and still trading like a fresh launch. Active band $0.078-$0.104. Strength shows above $0.09, then $0.104. Weakness starts under $0.078, with $0.07 next.</p>
<p>Shiba Inu (SHIB): At $0.00000717, sliding toward $0.00000678. If that gives way, $0.0000065 is next. For a bounce to matter, it needs $0.0000075, then $0.000008, with $0.00001 as the bigger hurdle.</p><a href="https://u.today/morning-crypto-report-80-for-bitcoin-is-real-legendary-trader-xrp-re-flips-new-cardano-shiba-inu" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
