Ripple has recently rallied to test the key $3.6 resistance zone.

Should buying pressure continue and price secure a breakout above this level, the move could pave the way for an extended advance toward the $4 region.

The Daily Chart

XRP has recently bounced from the critical $2.8 support zone, which aligns with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement of the prior rally.

This confluence attracted notable buying interest, triggering a sharp upswing toward the $3.4–$3.6 resistance range. This zone represents a prior swing high and a likely area of concentrated supply, making it a significant hurdle for buyers to clear.

If bulls successfully reclaim the $3.6 level with strong volume, the path toward the psychological $4 threshold becomes more attainable. However, given the overhead supply, some short-term consolidation or a minor pullback from $3.6 is possible before any sustained breakout attempt.

The 4-Hour Chart

On the 4H timeframe, XRP’s bullish structure is more pronounced. Following a period of consolidation within a bullish flag formation, the market found support at the 0.5 Fib level and broke decisively to the upside.

This breakout has fueled the advance toward the $3.6 resistance.

If buyers can overcome this barrier, the resulting breakout could trigger a short-squeeze, accelerating price toward $4. Conversely, repeated rejections at $3.6 could lead to another consolidation phase within the current range before the next directional move.

The data & AI technology consulting company, now turned to treasury, has released a financial statement showcasing its most recent Bitcoin procurement.

Meanwhile, the crypto asset posted some gains over the weekend and, at the time of writing, is still riding the bullish wave.

The Acquisition

Listed on the Euronext Growth Paris ($ALCPB), Capital B (formerly the Blockchain Group), announced its most recent purchase via a press release earlier today.

The 126 bitcoins were purchased for approximately €12.4 million (~$ 14.4 M), bringing their total stash to 2,201, with an average purchase price of $106,770 per coin.

This aligns with their plan to have 3,000 BTC by the end of fiscal 2025, which falls on September 27th this year, and their overall goal of owning 1% of all Bitcoin by 2033. They started the acquisitions in early November last year and have achieved a Bitcoin yield of 1,519.5% year-to-date (YTD).

This is a metric that tracks the percentage change in the ratio of total BTC holdings to fully
diluted shares outstanding over a given period, or simply put, how much more of the asset is owned per potential share of stock.

They are currently ranked 24th on Bitcoin Treasuries, neck-and-neck with HIVE Digital Technologies, which also holds 2,201 BTC, and behind the 2,353 BTC that Microcloud Hologram currently holds.

Bitcoin Outlook

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization had a green Sunday, opening at $116,490 and closing the day at $119,310, representing a 2.42% increase. The wave continues into Monday, and at press time, the asset remains on the rise.

An interesting week is ahead of us, as per the US economic calendar, with CPI and PPI data being released, along with several other key indicators.

Bitcoin, like other volatile assets, tends to react to macroeconomic data, so its price could fluctuate depending on the numbers. The highly anticipated Fed meeting is also approaching, with just over a month to go until we hear whether a rate cut will be announced, which is another potential catalyst for price moves.

Strategy – the company founded by Michael Saylor – rarely skips a Monday without announcing a crypto purchase.

Today was no exception as the company revealed it had acquired the modest (for its standards) 155 BTC for roughly $18 million. The average price of the deal was around $116,401 per coin.

Strategy has acquired 155 BTC for ~$18.0 million at ~$116,401 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 25.0% YTD 2025. As of 8/10/2025, we hodl 628,946 $BTC acquired for ~$46.09 billion at ~$73,288 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC $STRK $STRF $STRD https://t.co/bx0814RI1w

Over the past few months, the company has announced several more impressive deals. Towards the end of June, it bought 4,980 BTC for over $530 million, while a few weeks prior, it stunned the community with a multi-billion-dollar purchase. 

Strategy has achieved a BTC yield of 25% YTD 2025. It is the world’s biggest corporate holder of the primary cryptocurrency, and currently it has 628,946 BTC bought for approximately $46.09 billion.

Due to the price increase of the asset, the current value of the holdings now exceeds $75 billion, meaning the company is sitting on a paper profit of almost $30 billion. 

It is worth mentioning that Strategy began accumulating BTC exactly five years ago. Its initial purchase included 21,000 coins, valued at around $250 million.
