Ethereum's staking exit queue increased more than fivefold in just three days, reaching a peak of around 851,000 ETH after MetaMask began proactively withdrawing thousands of validators following a security incident.
This week, unlike most leading cryptocurrencies, SOL/USD has attempted to rise toward 75.00 (Murray level [4/8]), which it is currently testing actively.
ETH/USD has been losing ground for a second consecutive month, forming a new downward trend. After reaching an annual low of 1,504.00, the pair made a limited corrective attempt but is now declining again, trading close to 1,500.00 (Murray [0/8]). A sustained move below this level could open the way toward 1,250.00 (Murray [–2/8]). A breakout above 1,750.00 (Murray [2/8]) could strengthen bullish momentum, allow the pair to leave the channel through its upper boundary, and move toward 2,000.00 (Murray [4/8]), 2,250.00 (Murray [6/8]), and 2,500.00 (Murray [8/8]).
In the middle of the month, SOL/USD resumed its decline within the medium-term downtrend after a correction from 75.00 (Murray level [4/8]). The pair is now testing the middle line of the Bollinger Bands near 68.75 (Murray level [3/8]). A consolidation below this level would allow bears to regain lost ground and continue toward 56.25 (Murray level [1/8]), 50.00 (Murray level [0/8]), and 43.75 (Murray level [–1/8]). The 75.00 mark (Murray level [4/8]), reinforced by the upper Bollinger Band, appears to be key for bulls. A breakout above it would return the price to the long-term sideways range, after which it could move toward 91.00, the upper boundary of the range, or 100.00 (Murray level [8/8]).
XRP/USD has been declining for the second consecutive week amid the broader market trend, reaching 1.0970 under pressure from several negative factors, the most important of which is monetary policy.
ETH/USD is losing value actively, having formed a new downward trend since the beginning of May. After reaching annual lows around 1504.00, the asset made a limited correction attempt but failed to develop bullish momentum. At present, the instrument is testing the support area of 1750.00–1700.00 (Murray level [2/8]–the middle line of the Bollinger Bands). A consolidation below this zone would allow sellers to target 1500.00 (Murray level [0/8]) and 1375.00 (Murray level [–1/8]), while a breakout above 2000.00 (Murray level [4/8]) would signal a resumption of upward dynamics toward 2250.00 (Murray level [6/8]) and 2500.00 (Murray level [8/8]).

Worldcoin rises by around 20% within 24 hours. The rally is being driven by strong momentum, AI-related expectations, and the upcoming IPO of ChatGPT’s parent company. Worldcoin is currently among the top performers in the crypto market. Over the past 24 hours, the price has gained around 20% and climbed to 0.60 US dollars. Speculation surrounding OpenAI is considered one of the main possible drivers of the move. Like SpaceX last week, the company is now approaching its highly anticipated stock market debut. Worldcoin could benefit from this, as the project is closely linked to OpenAI founder Sam Altman. Investors are therefore betting not only on the current price momentum but also on the hope that the connection to Altman and OpenAI will bring the project renewed attention.
Since the middle of last month, XRP/USD has been actively declining as part of the broader market trend: during this period, the price left the medium-term sideways range of 1.3671–1.5136 after breaking through its lower boundary, and is now testing 1.1120 while investors analyze Friday’s U.S. labor market report, which has already forced them to revise earlier expectations for monetary policy easing this year and led to higher Treasury yields and a stronger U.S. dollar.
