Today’s inflation report was a dour reminder that UK inflation remains entrenched. CPI for August was unchanged at 3.8% y/y, matching the consensus and its highest level since January 2024. Airfares decreased but this was offset by food and petrol prices. Monthly, CPI rose 0.3%, up from 0.1% in July and matching the consensus. Core CPI, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, eased to 3.6% from 3.8%. Monthly, core CPI ticked up to 0.3% from 0.2%. The inflation report comes just a day before the Bank of England announces its rate decision. Inflation is almost double the BoE’s target of 2% and today’s release likely means that the BoE will not reduce rates before 2026.

The post Ripple Price Prediction 2025: Could XRP Collapse to $1? AlphaPepe Becomes the Best Crypto Presale to Watch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple (XRP) has long been framed as one of the shy, steady performers of the crypto world — somewhere between payments infrastructure and speculative asset. But market mood can shift fast. With macro pressures mounting and technical stress building, whispers are turning into warnings: Could XRP collapse toward $1 in this next downturn? If that happens, the scramble for asymmetric plays may pivot away from majors and into early-stage narratives. In that arena, AlphaPepe is rapidly becoming the presale everyone’s watching. With structural integrity, rapid community growth, and clear token mechanics, it’s positioning itself as the next 100× meme coin in a market that’s begging for fresh stories. XRP Under Pressure: Why $1 Isn’t Impossible XRP’s structural strengths often insulate it from full-blown crashes — but not always. Today, several red flags are flashing: Whale activity is intensifying. Major holders trimming positions suggests the top of market bravery may be waning. On-chain engagement is softening. Fewer active addresses and lower ledger throughput indicate that usage momentum is fading. Technical breakdowns look more threatening. If support zones fail to hold, cascading liquidations and loss of sentiment could push XRP far lower. A move toward $1 would be catastrophic — but not irrational in a world where fear compounds on itself. A crash in top-tier assets often drags down even relatively robust tokens. In such a stress scenario, XRP’s downside becomes more exposed. Of course, XRP has defenses: institutional momentum, future ETF prospects, and development backstops. But those only help if they survive the panic cycle. Price Scenarios & Forecast Crash to $1 ScenarioIf macro risk intensifies and sentiment breaks, XRP could cascade through support layers. The slide might accelerate if exchange reserves swell and derivative structure breaks. In a full-crash scenario, $1 becomes the damage zone, not the main forecast. Base…
