Cryptocurrency Price Forecasts: Bitcoin, Meme Coins & Digital Assets – European Market Wrap 22 September 2025
Digital assets defy traditional market gravity as Bitcoin leads another charge toward record territory.
Bitcoin's Bull Run Accelerates
The original cryptocurrency continues swallowing market share while institutional inflows hit unprecedented levels. Mining difficulty adjustments create perfect storm conditions for price appreciation.
Meme Coin Mania Returns
Retail traders flock back to speculative assets as volatility indicators flash buy signals. Social sentiment metrics suggest meme season might just be getting started.
Altcoin Ecosystem Thrives
Layer-2 solutions and DeFi protocols demonstrate real utility beyond speculative trading. Network activity metrics contradict bearish narratives about adoption slowdown.
Regulatory clarity remains the final frontier—watching traditional finance institutions slowly embrace what they once mocked almost makes the volatility worthwhile. Almost.
Over $1B Liquidated today in Bitcoin: Leverage flushout
According to Coinglass’s liquidation tracker, roughly $1.59B in long positions were wiped out today — proof that retail apes who chased weekend highs got caught on the wrong side.
At the same time, open interest has rolled over rapidly today, underscoring a classic leverage washout. It’s the kind of reset that clears out weak hands and forces the market back to neutral.
Meme Coins Price Prediction: Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe extend corrections as market sentiment turns cautious
Meme coins face renewed selling pressure at the start of this week on Monday, with Dogecoin (DOGE), shiba inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE) extending their losses after recent corrections. The technical outlook of these meme coins signals a bearish momentum, suggesting further losses in the upcoming days.
Heavy losses for crypto prices
It has been a tough start to the week for crypto assets, which have declined across the board, though there appears to be little in the way of a definite catalyst. It’s important to keep these moves in context, given the big gains made in recent months, and they are a useful reminder to all crypto participants that this is an asset class where higher volatility should be viewed as a given. Notably gold has made new record highs this morning, which may well turn the heads of many in the short term.
