• Ethereum fell to $3,830 on Thursday, dropping nearly 9% in 24 hours as Bitcoin dived to near $108,000.
• Crypto analyst IncomeSharks highlighted Ethereum price weakness amid the OBV indicator breakdown.
• XRP, Solana and BNB also dropped to or below key levels as cryptocurrencies plummeted.

Ethereum (ETH) price has experienced significant volatility in the past week, with its value extending its decline in the past 24 hours as bears pushed the token to lows of $3,830.

Having traded above $4,760 earlier this month, the near 9% dip in the past 24 hours and 16% dive in the past week have ETH hovering at a key level.

Broader weakness that also has Bitcoin near $108,000 and top altcoins struggling could align with a technical breakdown to see Ethereum’s price plunge to lows of $3,500 in the short term.

Ethereum price dives nearly 9% as key indicator signals breakdown

The latest dump for cryptocurrencies has Ethereum’s price hovering below $3,850 as of writing.

While bulls could reclaim the area above $3,860 and eye $4,000, analysts are pointing to a critical breakdown in the On-Balance Volume indicator as a potential signal for further losses.

As crypto analyst IncomeSharks highlighted on X, the ETH price is down amid a breakdown of the OBV momentum.

The indicator, which measures cumulative volume flow, showed a clear divergence from price action, and IncomeSharks says that while it retains the horizontal support, it is signalling weakness as buying pressure wanes.

Per the analyst, the loss of momentum suggests a bearish outlook.

On the weekly chart, Ethereum price has touched a key level below which sellers could target support around $3,500.

Both the weekly relative strength index (RSI) and on-balance volume (OBV) are downsloping.

The RSI remains above 55, suggesting room for bulls to navigate the downside pressure.

Notably, the daily RSI puts Ethereum in oversold territory, which might mean bear exhaustion.

Top altcoins fall to critical support levels

The downturn in Ethereum’s price is not an isolated event, as several top altcoins have also breached critical support levels.

As noted, this comes amid a broader market correction that aligns with the wobbly action seen on Wall Street over the past two days.

With BTC dropping to near $108,000 and Ethereum slipping to intraday lows near $3,800, top alts XRP, Solana (SOL), and Binance Coin (BNB) followed suit.

XRP was down 6% to $2.78 amid a downtrend line breakdown, while Solana, after a brief rally in recent days, has corrected to dip below $200.

A 7% drop in the past 24 hours saw SOL price hover near $197.

Meanwhile, BNB has encountered resistance after a notable surge that included multiple new all-time highs above the $1,000 mark.

But with profit taking widespread, BNB price held near $964, about 5% down in the past 24 hours.

• Flare price rose to above $0.028 before paring gains.
• The crypto project’s DeFi ecosystem, enhanced by FXRP, has driven a significant rise in active users, boosting network activity.
• As Flare’s oracle services gain traction, could this boost the bulls’ price target above $0.030 and allow for further upside momentum?

Flare (FLR), the native token of the Flare Network, has surged over 10% in the past week to test $0.028, largely outpacing the broader cryptocurrency market amid widespread declines.

While it traded near $0.025 at the time of writing, FLR has broken through critical resistance levels after bouncing off lows of $0.023.

With bullish momentum driving the price, Flare could target $0.038 or higher.

Fueled by strong technical indicators and growing adoption of Flare’s decentralised finance ecosystem, this rally has attracted significant attention from both retail and institutional investors.

FXRP token and XRP DeFi integration

Flare’s recent surge is due to its integration with XRP through the FXRP token, enabling XRP to become DeFi-ready.

The Flare Network’s FAssets mainnet facilitates the conversion of XRP into FXRP, unlocking deeper liquidity and new use cases such as lending and borrowing.

The platform’s total value locked has soared to $217 million in an integration that has positioned Flare as a leader in bridging XRP’s non-smart contract capabilities with decentralised finance.

“For over a decade, XRP has powered fast and efficient settlement at scale. FXRP on Flare extends that strength with composability, opening new growth opportunities: XRP as collateral, liquidity, and yield in DeFi,” the Flare team posted on X.

Additionally, the token`s institutional backing and partnerships focused on interoperability have further solidified investor confidence, driving FLR’s price momentum.

Flare price: $0.038 target and technical outlook

Flare is trading around $0.0256 at the time of writing.

The token moved within a daily range of $0.0245 to $0.0284, marking a 3.4% gain in the last 24 hours.

On the chart, FLR broke above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.0217.

This puts FLR price well above its 7-day SMA at $0.0246, showing strong short-term bullish control.

Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator remains positive.

Notably, the MACD line crosses above the signal line, confirming upward momentum.

Although the Relative Strength Index is downsloping and near 55, staying above the neutral mark indicates bulls remain in control.

Gains could ensue before prices reach overbought territory.

If FLR maintains support above $0.0264, it can rise up to $0.0389, aligning with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.

This could allow buyers to aim for $0.040 and higher, which are levels last seen in January 2025 and April 2024.

However, a failure to hold current levels could see a pullback to $0.024, with deeper support at $0.022.

• Chainlink brings oracles and CCIP to Canton’s institutional blockchain.
• Canton processes $280B daily repos and secures $6T in tokenised assets.
• BNP Paribas, HSBC, and P2P.org recently joined the Canton Foundation.

Chainlink has joined the Canton Network as a super validator, deepening the blockchain’s institutional focus and bringing a suite of oracle services to its privacy-driven architecture.

The move aligns Canton’s ambitions for large-scale tokenisation and regulated financial activity with Chainlink’s proven infrastructure in securing real-world data and cross-chain communication.

The Chainlink integration into the Canton Network

As part of the agreement, Chainlink Labs will operate as a super validator on Canton.

In this role, it will run a combined node that functions as both a domain validator and a synchronizer, giving it a hand in ordering and finalising cross-domain transactions.

This integration places Chainlink at the core of Canton’s consensus process, ensuring transaction finality while also bolstering the network’s interoperability across different domains.

Canton has also joined the Chainlink Scale program, which helps manage the costs of running oracles on-chain.

The collaboration also extends Chainlink’s data services to the Canton Network, including its real-time data streams, proof of reserve, and NAVLink, along with the cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP).

These tools are designed to allow institutions in Canton to connect securely with external data sources, tokenised assets, and even other blockchains.

The arrangement underscores Canton’s strategy of creating a controlled but flexible environment where traditional financial institutions can operate with confidence.

Canton Network’s ability to handle sensitive financial data

Since launching in May 2023, the Canton Network has positioned itself as a blockchain purpose-built for institutional finance.

The Canton Network describes itself as a privacy-focused blockchain that allows institutions to issue and transact tokenised securities, stablecoins, and digital identity tools without compromising compliance standards.

Backed by major global players such as Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Cboe Global Markets, Digital Asset, and Paxos, the network emphasises privacy and regulatory compliance while supporting large-scale financial applications.

Its governing body, which recently rebranded from the Global Synchronizer Foundation to the Canton Foundation, counts Chainlink among its leading validators.

The network now oversees more than $6 trillion in tokenised real-world assets, processes $280 billion in daily repo transactions, and is secured by 500 validators, including over 30 super validators.

BNP Paribas and HSBC recently joined the foundation, while P2P.org has come aboard as a validator.

By weaving in Chainlink’s infrastructure, Canton is reinforcing its ability to handle sensitive financial data while still connecting to broader blockchain ecosystems.

Analysts view this as a powerful combination since Chainlink already secures more than $100 billion in decentralised finance (DeFi) and has facilitated over $25 trillion in transaction value, and now it is being tasked with underpinning Canton’s institutional-grade environment.

Notably, the integration arrives at a time when global banks and financial firms are accelerating blockchain initiatives, from stablecoin pilots to tokenised fund experiments, underscoring the demand for secure, compliant systems.
