Solana Gains 4 Percent as Bitcoin Consolidates, XRP Leads Weekly Rally
Redakcja CryptoPulsar ·
Bitcoin slipped 0.74% to $83,708, but Solana gained 3.95% and XRP climbed 10.72% over seven days. Crypto market capitalization stands at $2.97 trillion, the Fear and Greed Index sits at 71, and Solana whales moved roughly $340 million.
The cryptocurrency market did not choose a single direction on September 25, 2026. Bitcoin trades at $83,708 and is down 0.74% over 24 hours, with a market cap of $1.68 trillion and volume of $36.26 billion. Total market capitalization stands at $2.97 trillion. In the same window, Solana is up 3.95% to $121.33, while XRP gains 1.60% on the day and as much as 10.72% over seven days. The Fear and Greed Index sits at 71, in the greed zone, and market-cycle data show more than 1.07 million Bitcoin transactions and around 7.4 million on Solana. It is a picture of high activity without a clear breakout in the price of the leading cryptocurrency.
Top gainers and losers in the top 10
Among the ten largest projects by market cap, Solana leads the day at +3.95%. Second place goes to XRP (+1.60%). On the other side of the table, BNB slides the most (-1.00%), ahead of TRON (-0.77%) and Bitcoin (-0.74%). The weekly picture is clearly different: XRP is at +10.72%, Solana +6.63%, Zcash +4.85%, and Bitcoin +3.31%. The data suggest capital rotation into selected layer-1 networks, not a panicked outflow from the entire market.

Bitcoin at $83,708: high transaction count, little direction
Bitcoin prints $83,708 after a 0.74% drop over 24 hours, with a 3.31% gain over seven days. The all-time high in the data is $126,080, so the current price sits at around 66% of that peak. Circulating supply is 20,089,287 BTC out of a maximum of 21,000,000, or about 95.7% of supply. Volume of $36.26 billion shows that liquidity has not disappeared. CryptoPulsar market-cycle data give Bitcoin a score of 34.6 out of 50.
More than 1.07 million transactions passed through the Bitcoin network in 24 hours. The RSI reading is around 60, so the market is neither oversold nor strongly overheated. MACD has a positive histogram, which in this dataset means declines are more likely slowing. The 9-day EMA, however, sits below the 21-day EMA, so the short-term price structure still looks weaker. Perpetual futures funding is slightly negative and rated as neutral. A Fear and Greed Index reading of 71 means greed.
Cycle data also indicate that Bitcoin is among trending projects on CoinGecko. If such a high transaction count holds and greed does not climb further, a consolidation scenario around current levels is realistic. This is not a certain forecast. It is a reading of current metrics: high network activity, moderate RSI, and a still-weaker short-term moving-average setup.
Market-cycle data for Bitcoin combine more than 1.07 million transactions, RSI around 60, a positive MACD histogram and the 9-day EMA below the 21-day EMA. Historically, that mix more often describes slowing declines and sideways action than a sharp breakout. An index reading of 71 (greed) raises the risk that euphoria will outpace spot demand. This does not constitute investment advice.
Solana: +3.95% and whales worth about $340 million
Solana is the strongest large-cap altcoin of the day. Price $121.33, 24h change +3.95%, 7d change +6.63%, market cap $71.30 billion, volume $6.47 billion. The ATH in the data is $293.31, so the price remains well below the peak. Circulating supply is 587,642,057 SOL. Cycle score: 34.3 out of 50, just behind Bitcoin.
In the last hour covered by the cycle data, Solana whales moved very aggressively. At least 100 transfers of a minimum of 5,000 SOL were recorded. The three largest were about 993,000 SOL and two of about 927,000 SOL each, totaling roughly $340 million. The network is active: around 7.4 million transactions went through in 24 hours. Short-term RSI is around 59. MACD and the 9-day average below the 21-day still point to a weaker trend. Perpetual futures funding is practically neutral.
The scenario that follows directly from these data is twofold. If the large transfers are supply heading to exchanges, today's gain may be given back. If they are wallet-to-wallet moves, selling pressure does not have to intensify. The $121.33 price after a 3.95% rise is therefore a move that on-chain data require reading together with whale direction, not in isolation.
💡 Worth knowing
Solana processed around 7.4 million transactions in 24 hours, while Bitcoin recorded more than 1.07 million, Ethereum more than 1 million, and BNB Chain 253,000. At the same time, the three largest SOL transfers in the cycle data add up to about $340 million. High network activity and a 3.95% price jump go hand in hand with whale movement, whose nature (exchange versus wallet) will decide whether the gain holds.
XRP: weekly leader among large caps, with RSI in oversold territory
XRP trades at $1.56. It is up 1.60% in 24 hours and 10.72% over 7 days. That is the best weekly result in the top seven. Market cap $97.90 billion, volume $6.64 billion, ATH $3.65. Circulating supply is 62,879,209,849 XRP out of a maximum of 100,000,000,000. Cycle score: 33.6 out of 50.
Cycle data for XRP show RSI around 24, deep in oversold territory, and a bullish MACD. The 9-day and 21-day EMAs on the daily chart remain in a bearish setup. Contract funding is close to zero. Fresh on-chain data from the Ripple network in this dataset do not yield measurable flows, because the contract is not verified, so the short-term picture rests on the market.
If bullish momentum holds with RSI this low, the rebound may last. If the moving-average setup remains bearish, the past day's gain may be given back.
