The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a divergence in attention between established assets and a new presale project. Shiba Inu (SHIB) is experiencing short-term volatility, with on-chain data showing 406 large transactions exceeding $100,000 and a net inflow of approximately 1.06 trillion SHIB to exchanges. This activity pushed the price briefly above a falling wedge formation before a retest of the $0.00000883 support level. Analysts note a sharp increase in the 24-hour burn rate and positive funding rates in derivatives, but the overall trend remains uncertain, dependent on large holder behavior and broader market conditions.
Meanwhile, Tron (TRX) faces a wide range of long-term forecasts. Projections for 2025 suggest a price range of $0.39 to $0.73, with mid-range estimates near $0.56. Looking further to 2026-2027, some models extend to $1.10 and $1.49, with even longer-term scenarios for 2030 exceeding $3.00 under favorable conditions. These forecasts hinge on continued ecosystem development, adoption, and regulatory factors, leaving the Tron price outlook highly uncertain.
The primary focus, however, has shifted to the final phase of the BlockDAG (BDAG) presale. The project has raised approximately $441 million and is currently in Batch 34, with a presale price of $0.003. With only around 3.5 billion coins remaining, the presale is set to conclude permanently on January 26. The official reference listing price is set at $0.05.
Market makers and participants are discussing a significantly higher potential opening trading range, with informal estimates circulating between $0.38 and $0.43. This projection is based on factors including strong presale demand from over 312,000 participants, limited initial circulating supply, and confirmed liquidity arrangements from day one. If realized, this opening range would represent a 7.6x to 8.6x gain from the official listing price and a staggering 16.6x (1566%) gain for those entering at the final $0.003 presale price. The project also reports over 3.5 million users mining through its X1 app and more than 20,000 mining devices sold.
In related market movements, ZCash (ZEC) has seen a 28% monthly rise, aiming for the $616 resistance level it has tested in the past. XRP is holding firm above $2, with its 'supply in profit' metric at a 13-month low, suggesting reduced selling pressure and a healthier base for potential upward movement. However, both assets are seen as navigating within known historical price zones, contrasting with BlockDAG's upcoming entry into uncharted price discovery.
