Bitcoin (BTC) began the week dropping nearly 10% from the recent highs and retesting the $84,000 area before bouncing. As price risks more downside with early bear market signals, a market observer suggested that the upcoming weeks will be crucial for BTC’s future path. Related Reading: Zcash (ZEC) Leads Market Pullback With 24% Drop, Analysts Warn Of Another Crash Ahead Bitcoin Holds Key Weekly Range Last week, Bitcoin led the brief market recovery, surging from its seven-month low of $80,600 toward the $93,000 area, retesting a key weekly re-accumulation range between these two levels. However, the Sunday correction sent the price back to the range lows, raising concerns about the flagship crypto’s short-term future. Analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that BTC is stabilizing within its weekly range, holding its position above the $82,000 range low. This area marks the top of an early 2025 liquidity cluster that developed around the 50-Week EMA, where the price has tapped with three downside wicks over the past month. “Last week’s Weekly Close above the Range Low enabled a relief move toward $93,500,” the analyst explained, “but that level acted as clean resistance,” after Friday’s rejection. To the analyst, maintaining stability around the weekly range lows is important because further downside wicking into the cluster is probable. However, he noted that the consolidation structure remains intact as long as BTC’s price continues to hold above the range low in the weekly timeframe. Rekt Capital added that Bitcoin continues to trade below a sharply declining Macro Downtrend that “has been dictating resistance throughout this phase of the cycle.” Per the analysis, “A breakout soon would require reclaiming higher price levels, whereas a later attempt would meet the trendline at lower valuations, narrowing the distance between the current price and resistance.” “In either case, the Macro Downtrend remains the dominant structural barrier, and Bitcoin’s path forward depends on whether consolidation near the Weekly Range Low can bring price closer to a meaningful test of this sharply descending level,” he continued. BTC’s Vulnerable Technical Environment Raises Alarms Rekt Capital also highlighted that BTC remains below the 21-Week EMA and 50-Week EMA, which could pose a problem for its future price action as the distance between these moving averages continues to narrow. As he detailed, when these EMAs compress and ultimately cross, it tends to precede further downside. Although it usually takes weeks after the crossover for price acceleration to “fully unfold,” it still implies that the crossover risk is increasing. The two EMAs currently represent potential resistance levels on future relief attempts, with the 50-Week EMA retest “leaving room for a future rejection if price revisits it.” Related Reading: Revisiting $85,000: Bitcoin Price Drop Linked To Japanese Government Bonds This position, the analyst explained, places BTC in a “vulnerable technical environment” as “the convergence of the EMAs toward the Macro Downtrend creates a layered zone of resistance that will be difficult to overcome unless price can reclaim one of these moving averages and stabilise above it.” Until Bitcoin successfully turns one of the EMAs into support, “the structure resembles the early-stage clustering seen in prior cycles where EMAs compressed before a broader bearish continuation,” the analyst concluded. As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $88,294, a 2.3% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
While the crypto market bounces from last week’s correction, Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area as support to continue its recovery rally. As the flagship crypto faces some resistance, some market watchers have suggested that this week’s close may be key for its end-of-year performance. Related Reading: Solana Reclaims Crucial Resistance Despite First SOL ETF Outflows – 25% Rally Ahead? Bitcoin Faces Rejection Ahead Of November Close Bitcoin has retested a crucial resistance level for the first time in a week, hitting a one-week high of $93,092 on Friday morning before retracing. The flagship crypto has failed to hold crucial support levels throughout the November corrections, trading below $100,000 for nearly two weeks. A week ago, BTC plunged below $90,000 during the latest market correction, reaching a seven-month low of $80,600. However, the cryptocurrency led this week’s broader recovery, reclaiming key levels over the past few days. Amid its recent performance, some market observers have noted that Bitcoin is currently retesting a crucial re-accumulation region, between $82,000 and $93,000, where the price consolidated after previous pullbacks, including the Q1 market correction. Analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that BTC rebounded more than 7% from the local bottom and has revisited the range high resistance during Friday’s recovery. Now, Bitcoin is attempting to hold the high zone of its local range, retesting the $90,000-$91,000 area as support after being rejected from the key resistance. Previously, he pointed out that last week’s weekly close aligned with the flagship crypto’s monthly range, setting the stage for a potential floor around the $86,000 area, which would develop a new range between this level and the $93,000 resistance. To the analyst, Bitcoin must close the week, which also coincides with November’s monthly close, above $93,5000 and turn this level into support if it wants to further build on its newfound momentum and potentially revisit its two-month downtrend line, which currently sits near the $96,000 mark. “The ~$93500 level happens to be a Four-Year Cycle level. History suggests price should be able to find a way to 12-month close above ~$93500 to finish 2025 green,” Rekt Capital added on X. $98,000 Rally or $88,000 Drop Next? Market watcher Ted Pillows discussed BTC’s short-term future as it faces some resistance around the $92,000-$93,000 levels. To the analysts, reclaiming this area could propel the price towards the $98,000-$100,000 barrier in the coming weeks. On the contrary, he suggested that failing to reclaim this level will send Bitcoin’s price below the $88,000 mark. Earlier this week, Ted warned that this was one of the most important levels to reclaim and hold as support in the short term, as a rejection from this area could trigger a significant drop below the recent lows. Similarly, Daan Crypto Trades noted that the constant sell-off of the past few weeks has created “a ton of marginally lower highs, creating such a big liquidity pocket” between the $97,000-$98,000 zone. This region also aligns with key horizontal price levels in bigger timeframes, making it a “good area to watch,” as BTC continues to consolidate in a relatively tight range. Related Reading: Ethereum’s End-Of-Year Rally Still At Play? Analysts Eye 50% December Jump The trader considers that if BTC’s price breaks down, the $88,000 mark could be a good place for a higher low. However, if the price holds above the $91,800 level, it may trigger another retest of the $93,000 resistance. Ultimately, He warned that the market could likely see a “Choppy environment in the short-term surrounding Thanksgiving, which always sees pretty low volume & liquidity.” As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $90,500, a 1.1% decline in the daily timeframe.

As the crypto market rebounds from the recent lows, Solana (SOL) has reclaimed a crucial level, nearing a key resistance area that could set the stage for a long-awaited price recovery rally, according to some market watchers. Related Reading: Ethereum’s End-Of-Year Rally Still At Play? Analysts Eye 50% December Jump Solana Bounces Despite ETF Outflows The crypto market has surged above the $3 trillion mark for the first time in a week, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most leading cryptocurrencies reclaiming crucial support levels lost during the latest market pullback. Solana joined the market rally and jumped from the recently recovered $135-$140 area to the upper zone of its local range on Wednesday afternoon. Notably, the altcoin has been trading between the $130-$145 price range over the past two weeks, briefly losing the lower boundary during last week’s correction. This week, SOL’s price has reclaimed some crucial ground, surging over 10% since Monday’s opening and nearing the $145 resistance. Amid this performance, analyst Ted Pillows noted institutional participation, as SOL treasury companies have started to show early signs of recovery. He also highlighted that Solana Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have experienced record inflows this month despite the correction. According to Farside Investors’ data, the SOL-based investment products have registered $613 million in inflows since their launch on October 28. It’s worth noting that throughout the recent pullbacks, Solana funds have seen a strong demand, with a 22-day positive streak while the altcoin’s price descended to multi-month lows. However, as its price recovered, SOL’s ETFs registered their first negative in nearly a month. 21Shares’ TSOL, which launched a week ago, saw $34 million in outflows on Wednesday, outshining the over $13 million and $10 million in inflows of Bitwise’s BSOL and Grayscale’s GSOL. As a result, the whole category recorded net outflows of $8.1 million. In his analysis, Ted Pillows also noted that “It seems like SOL has bottomed for a while, but institutional buying needs to accelerate here. Otherwise, it won’t take long for Solana to make new lows.” SOL Ready For December Recovery? Analyst Ali Martinez suggested that Solana’s pain might be over as its price “usually bottoms when investors capitulate… And for the past two weeks, that’s exactly what’s been happening.” According to the chart, SOL’s price has historically found a floor when the Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) indicator reaches the capitulation zone, which it has recently fallen to. Meanwhile, Crypto Patel highlighted that Solana is breaking out of a one-month downtrend, which could trigger a 25% recovery rally near the key $180 barrier in the coming weeks. Another market observer warned that the altcoin is “walking straight into the lion’s den” as its price nears the $144-$146 resistance levels. Trader Mr. Ape noted that Solana’s price has been rejected three times from this heavy supply area, and momentum “is slowing again as we hit the zone.” Related Reading: XRP ETFs Outshine BTC, ETH, And SOL Funds With $164M Single-Day Inflows To the trader, this is the crucial level to watch, as another rejection could send the price to the $132 support, where strong demand lies from the previous bounce. On the contrary, a successful breakout from this level and reclaiming it as support could confirm the shift and trigger a surge to the $157 area. As of this writing, Solana is trading at $142, a 7.7% increase on the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Amid the recent market volatility, SUI is attempting to hold a key level as support following its breakout from a local resistance. Some analysts have suggested that if momentum holds, the altcoin could be preparing for a 50% rally to the next major resistance. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) Reclaims $3,500 Amid Market Rebound, Analysts Forecast December Take-Off SUI Recovers Major Support Zone On Tuesday, SUI retested a crucial area as support after recovering from the recent market crash and breaking out of a one-month downtrend line. The altcoin traded between $2.30-$3.00 after the October 10 correction, when the cryptocurrency briefly crashed by over 87% to $0.50. However, the early November pullback sent the price below the local range and to seven-month low levels. Last week, SUI closed below the $2.00 barrier for the first time since April, briefly retesting the $1.80 area. After bouncing from this zone, the altcoin surged above $2.00, retesting this level as support over the weekend. As a result, SUI’s price started the new week reaching a one-week high of $2.20 on Monday, before retracing alongside most of the market on Tuesday morning. Amid its recovery, analyst Ali Martinez recently highlighted that the TD Sequential indicator flashed a buy signal for the cryptocurrency, suggesting that the bottom could be in and a rally to higher levels is next. The analyst later confirmed the buy signal, adding that “sustained buying pressure here could push it to $3 or even $4.” Adding to the potential momentum, the Sui Network announced a partnership between the exchange Crypto.com and the Sui Foundation, the organization behind the adoption and advancement of the ecosystem. According to the announcement, the exchange has launched regulated custody and liquidity support for SUI, giving institutions’ clients “a secure, compliant way to store, manage, and access deep liquidity for SUI.” Downtrend Breakout Eyes 50% Rally Offering a broader outlook, market watcher Daan Crypto Trades noted that the cryptocurrency continues to trade within its big higher timeframe (HT) area, currently retesting a make-or-break zone. Notably, SUI has been hovering between the $2.00-$4.00 levels for most of the cycle, with the range’s lower boundary serving as a major support zone since late 2024. Now, the price “is holding initially on this higher low,” but must show short-term strength to break out from this area. Per the post, the altcoin has also broken out of its one-month diagonal resistance, which could send the price back to pre-November pullback levels. Currently, SUI’s price is retesting the downtrend line as support, which could turn the correction into a deviation and propel a move back above $2.30. “That’d be a solid sign of strength for me that this might be due for a larger reversal,” the trader added. Similarly, analyst Crypto Kaleo highlighted the recent performance, affirming that “when SUI breaks out of a major downtrend, it rips.” Related Reading: Shiba Inu Derivatives Market Is Taking Off Again, But What Does This Mean For Price? As he pointed out, the cryptocurrency broke out of similar downtrends during the May and July rallies, soaring more than 50% within a week. Therefore, if the altcoin holds the current levels, its price could jump to the $3.00 barrier in the short term. Nonetheless, he warned that the two previous breakouts also saw some volatility after the initial move, suggesting another retest of the downtrend line could happen before the next leg up. As of this writing, SUI is trading at $2.07, a 3.8% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
As the crypto market rallies, BNB continues to hit new record levels, surpassing some of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and leading some analysts to suggest that its end-of-year run has just started. Related Reading: Ethereum 23% Rally Pushes BitMine’s ETH Treasury Holdings To $13.4 Billion BNB Sees 30% Weekly Run After a massive Q3 rally, BNB has started the last quarter of the year with a remarkable 30% rally. Over the past week, the cryptocurrency has recorded four new all-time highs (ATHs), climbing the list of top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The altcoin recovered from the late September pullback a week ago, reclaiming the $1,000 barrier. At the time, Analyst Ali Martinez suggested that turning this level into support would set the stage for a 30% rally toward the $1,300 target as part of its bullish breakout from its macro range. Notably, BNB had been trading within the $200-$700 price range since 2021, finally breaking out of this zone during the Q3 rally. On Tuesday, the altcoin jumped 7% and hit a new record high of $1,330, reaching a market capitalization of $182 billion. According to CoinGecko data, BNB surpassed Tether (USDT) and XRP, becoming the third-largest cryptocurrency by this metric, only behind Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Following this performance, some market watchers have raised BNB’s price target to higher levels, suggesting that its end-of-year bull run may just be starting. Analyst NekoZ recently affirmed that the cryptocurrency was “executing a master class in trend continuation,” highlighting its performance over the past three months. According to the chart, the altcoin has had two key breakouts since July, each followed by price expansion to new highs. Now, BNB appears to be repeating the same setup, which targets the $1,500 barrier next. Similarly, Crypto Patel considers that if momentum continues throughout the Q4 run, the cryptocurrency could be heading for another 53% rally toward his second cycle target of $2,000. “You can doubt targets, but not momentum,” he wrote on X. Rally Pushes Corporate Holdings To New Highs Amid its bullish rally, Nasdaq-listed CEA Industries, the world’s largest BNB Treasury Company, announced that its total Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy holdings have reached a total of $663 million in assets. The company shared that it now holds a total of 480,000 BNB tokens as part of its goal to own 1% of the altcoin’s total token supply by the end of 2025. According to the Tuesday statement, the company’s total investment amounts to approximately $412.8 million, with an average acquisition cost of $860 per token, and an estimated BNB value of $585.5 million by October 6. David Namdar, CEO of CEA Industries, commented on the milestone, stating: “BNB’s all-time highs are a clear validation that the global markets are waking up to the inherent value, credibility, scale, and utility of both the asset and underlying ecosystem.” It’s worth noting that the ecosystem has also seen a strong performance throughout the past few months, with multiple projects built on the network leading in terms of profitability. On Monday, BNB Chain revealed it had adopted Chainlink’s data standard to bring official US Department of Commerce (DOC) data directly to its blockchain.

As the market recovers, Bitcoin (BTC) is kicking off the weekend on a positive note by reclaiming another crucial support level. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is setting the stage for a new price discovery rally, which could start sooner than expected. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) ‘Uptober’ Begins With $220 Retest – Is It Ready For Second ‘Expansion Wave’? Bitcoin Eyes Third Price Discovery Uptrend On Friday, Bitcoin jumped nearly 3% to hit a two-month high of $123,894. The flagship crypto has seen a massive recovery from last week’s correction, surging 14% from the local lows. Earlier this week, BTC reclaimed the $115,000-$117,000 area, which served as a key support zone during the early Q3 rally, before surging to the crucial $120,000 barrier on Thursday. Amid its bullish performance, analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that Bitcoin was able to secure a daily close above this level, skipping a retest of the recently reclaimed $117,000 mark. He explained that a daily close above $120,000, followed by a successful post-breakout retest, has historically preceded a move to the $123,00 resistance, with a nearly identical daily performance leading to the mid-August all-time high (ATH) of $124,474. Meanwhile, market watcher Ted Pillows noted that if BTC successfully holds the $120,000-$121,000 zone, it will reach highs soon. On the contrary, he warned that losing this area could lead to a retest of the $117,000 as support. Nonetheless, he considers that Bitcoin’s price might not see another massive correction in the short term, as history suggests the cryptocurrency might have bottomed during the late-September pullback. “BTC historically bottoms in September. Since 2016, Bitcoin has bottomed 7 times in September. (…) Historically, this means BTC bottom is most likely in and it won’t go lower than $107K,” he asserted. Analyst Crypto Jelle forecasted that price discovery could resume as early as next week, pointing out that holding the $120,000 level as support over the weekend and closing above it in the weekly timeframe would set a strong base for the long-awaited Q4 rally. Is BTC’s Top A Few Weeks Away? As the flagship cryptocurrency is on the “cusp of entering Price Discovery Uptrend 3,” Rekt Capital also shared a potential timeline for Bitcoin’s cycle top based on its previous post-halving performances. The analyst previously shared his 2025 roadmap for BTC’s rally, suggesting that it could see an extended cycle or potentially enjoy a third Price Discovery Uptrend before the bear market, which would push the cycle peak into deeper stages of 2025. In a video analysis, he suggested that BTC’s top could arrive in the next two weeks to two months. As he explained, Bitcoin peaked around 520 days after the 2016 Halving event, while it topped nearly 550 days after the 2020 event. If it had repeated its 2017 timeline, BTC would have had to peak around September, meaning that the August ATH was the cycle top. The analyst dismissed this possibility, suggesting that a repeat of its 2021 price action was more likely. In this case, BTC would need to peak in the next two weeks. Related Reading: Analyst Forecast Ethereum (ETH) Breakout To $6,900 As Price Retests Crucial Resistance However, Rekt Capital laid a third scenario in which Bitcoin tops around mid-November. This timeline would follow the theory that the cycle peak timeline is increasing by 30 days at a time, signaling that this cycle’s peak would happen around the 580-day mark post-halving. “If we are looking at the four-year cycle, the most important thing is to just wrap everything up in candle one. That’s historically what’s been the case,” he explained. “So, at least two weeks and maybe still a month and a half to a maximum of two months. But beyond that, I don’t think we’ll be lengthening.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
As the crypto market kicks off October with a remarkable recovery, Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to turn the $4,500 level into support after nearly two weeks. Some analysts forecast that a breakout from this crucial area could set the stage for a massive 50% rally in Q4. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) ‘Uptober’ Begins With $220 Retest – Is It Ready For Second ‘Expansion Wave’? Ethereum Retests Next Major Resistance Ethereum has bounced 17% from last week’s lows and is retesting the next crucial level to reclaim. The cryptocurrency started this week by recovering from the recent market correction, which sent its price to a multi-week low of $3,815. Since then, the King of Altcoins has reclaimed the mid-zone of its macro range and broken past a major sell wall located around the $4,200-$4,300 levels. Amid this performance, market watcher Ted Pillows highlighted that the next two major resistance levels to reclaim before a new all-time high (ATH) are $4,500 and $4,750. Similarly, Ali Martinez detailed that the $4,505 area is “one of the most important resistance levels to watch for Ethereum,” according to the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) metric. A rejection from this major level could lead to a retest of the $4,250 support, and potentially risk a new price drop if ETH breaks below it. Previously, some analysts cautioned that losing this area could open the gates for a fresh breakdown toward the macro range lows. On the contrary, reclaiming the $4,500 resistance would set the base for a challenge of the macro range highs, around the $4,800 level, in the coming weeks. Market watcher Lluciano pointed out that ETH appears to be forming a triangle formation since early August. He suggested that breaking out of this pattern could kick off a rally toward a new high above the $5,000 barrier, affirming, “Q4 is here, ETH new wave is imminent.” Meanwhile, Titan of Crypto highlighted a weekly bull flag pattern forming on ETH’s chart. According to the analyst, a breakout from the formation’s upper boundary, around the $4,500 area, could send the price into a 50% rally toward the $6,900 mark. ETH’s Weekly Close Could ‘Turn It All Around’ After closing September above the $4,100 area, analyst Rekt Capital affirmed that Ethereum is potentially developing a Monthly Bull Flag within this macro range. He explained that the cryptocurrency must reclaim the $4,200 in the higher timeframes to continue building on the formation’s base. Notably, closing the month below this level technically means ETH’s price is positioning for a bearish retest despite the current bounce, the analyst detailed, as it represents the mid-zone of the macro range. Nonetheless, Rekt Capital considers that “even though the Monthly Close wasn’t very appealing, price just needs to Weekly Close above the $4.2k mid-range to turn it all around.” He noted that the cryptocurrency displayed a similar performance in late 2021 and this past July, weekly closing above this level and post-breakout retesting it as support. This technical sequence enabled the price to reclaim the $4,600 area and position itself for new highs. Related Reading: BNB Eyes New Highs As Price Reclaims $1,000 – Is A 30% Rally Coming? “If ETH can soon Weekly Close above blue and retest it back into support, then there’s a good chance for a revisit to $4.6k being on the cards in the future,” he concluded. As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,502, a 4.1% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
As the market stabilizes from last week’s correction, BNB is attempting to hold a crucial area that could set the stage for a rally, leading some analysts to suggest that the next leg up could be around the corner. Related Reading: Ethereum Ready For Round 2? Analyst Forecasts Early October Rally Amid $4,200 Retest Kazakhstan Adoption Pushes BNB To $1,000 Nearly two weeks after breaking above the $1,000 milestone for the first time, BNB is attempting to hold this key area as support following the recent market pullback. The cryptocurrency has recorded a massive multi-month rally this quarter, surging 54% since the July opening. Over the past month, the cryptocurrency has climbed 16% from the start-of-September lows, turning the crucial $800-$900 zone into support before surging toward its latest all-time high (ATH) of $1,083 nine days ago. Nonetheless, the altcoin’s massive run was halted during the end-of-month pullback, which saw most cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), hit multi-week lows. BNB dropped over 10% from last week’s high, losing the critical $1,000 breakout level on Friday. During the pullback, the altcoin retested the $930 level as support, bouncing off this level over the weekend and reclaiming the crucial barrier yesterday morning. The recent price surge was driven by Kazakhstan’s announcement of its investment in the altcoin. On Monday, Kazakhstan announced the launch of its first crypto reserve, the Alem Crypto Fund, aimed at long-term investment in digital assets. According to the statement, Binance Kazakhstan is the strategic partner of the fund, which was established by the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan. As part of the partnership, Alem Crypto Fund made BNB its first investment. Nurkhat Kushimov, General Manager of Binance Kazakhstan, stated that “The fund’s choice of BNB as its first digital asset highlights the trust in the Binance ecosystem and marks a new chapter for institutional recognition of cryptocurrencies in Kazakhstan.” Price Discovery Continuation In Q4? It’s worth noting that the BNB Chain ecosystem also saw a strong performance, with multiple projects built on the network leading in terms of profitability. As reported by NewsBTC, BNB Chain projects led Binance Wallet’s top ten Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) list with up to 2,000x historical returns, while BSC projects led the top five Alpha trading volume rankings. Market watcher Daan Crypto Trades suggested that neither BNB nor BSC-related tokens’ rally is over yet, as the “market is eager for a narrative or chain to gamble on.” Analyst Ali Martinez affirmed that the token “still has many legs up,” suggesting that successfully holding this level could target new highs. The analyst previously stated that BNB’s price targets the $1,200-$1,300 area as part of its bullish breakout from its macro range. Turning the current area into support in the higher timeframes could set the stage for a price discovery continuation with a 20%-30% run in the coming months. On the contrary, a rejection from this level could see the price retest the $900-$930 area again.

As the crypto market recovers from the end-of-September correction, Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to reclaim the crucial $4,200 area. Some analysts affirmed that the altcoin’s bounce signals that a new leg up could be coming in the next few weeks. Related Reading: XRP Price May Not See An Explosive Rally In October As Expected, Here’s Why Ethereum Reclaims $4,000 On Monday, Ethereum continued to recover from the recent market pullback, surging nearly 6% from Sunday’s Lows toward a crucial barrier. Last week, the King of Altcoins recorded a sharp drop below the $4,000 level for the first time since early August, recording an eight-week low of $3,815 on Thursday afternoon. Over the weekend, the cryptocurrency reclaimed the $4,000 barrier before surging to the crucial $4,100 mark on Sunday afternoon. This level served as a strong resistance throughout the past two years, as it represents the cycle’s previous high and a key bounce area during the Q3 rally. It also marks the lower boundary of its local $4,100-$4,800 range. Market Watcher Daan Crypto Trades noted that the weekly candle on ETH’s chart closed above this level after “a solid effort by the bulls and a late Sunday push.” He added that it remains important to hold this area on the higher timeframes to target the range highs. In the daily timeframe, the trader considers Ethereum has “not the worst look” as the recent reclaim shows a clear invalidation of the range breakdown and a potential recovery continuation. Daan also suggested that the cryptocurrency could be “taking one out of BTC’s playbook,” and be preparing for a massive new leg up following the range consolidation and deviation. Similarly, Bluntz affirmed that ETH’s wave 4 on the daily timeframe “looks like it’s over with a leg higher into ath yet to come.” However, the analyst considers that the next all-time high (ATH) breakout won’t be as “sensational” as many believe, suggesting the $5,500 area as the main target. ETH’s Next Leg Up Two Weeks Away? Multiple market watchers highlighted a potential Power of Three (Po3) setup on Ethereum’s chart, signaling that the recent pullback was part of the second stage, manipulation, and the cryptocurrency is ready for the third phase, expansion. Meanwhile, Merlijn the Trader affirmed that Ethereum is displaying a similar setup that preceded the May and July rallies. At the time, ETH broke down from its local range during a liquidity grab, sending the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator to oversold territory. “This is the exact setup that birthed every violent reversal. Strong hands know it. Weak hands fold,” the trader affirmed. Additionally, he noted that the cryptocurrency could be repeating the late Q2 script’s timeline. Per the post, Ethereum saw a 66-day consolidation between the May breakout and the next pump in July. During this period, the second-largest cryptocurrency saw a price fakeout below the range around the 45-day mark before breaking out 20 days later. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Go To Zero, Hedge Fund CEO Warns Last week’s correction below the local range occurred 46 days into the accumulation period, suggesting that a new breakout and leg up could come in the first half of October. “We’re at day 51. The longer the squeeze… The harder the detonation,” Merlijn stated. Nonetheless, analyst Ted Pillows added that for more upside, ETH must recover the $4,250 area, where a strong sell wall is located, until the $4,320 level. If it fails to reclaim this area, the cryptocurrency risks retesting he $3,600-$3,800 support once again. As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,172, a 3.5% increase in the daily timeframe.

After hitting a one-month low, Solana (SOL) has bounced from a critical support zone and is attempting to reclaim a crucial psychological barrier before potentially resuming its bullish rally. However, some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency could retest new lows if the market volatility persists. Related Reading: SUI Retest Ascending Triangle Support Amid 8% Drop – Bounce Or Breakdown Next? Solana Price Retest Major Support On Thursday, Solana lost the $200 level as support after closing the day below this level for the first time in nearly a month. The cryptocurrency has been trading inside the $120-$220 price range since early February, finally breaking out of this range in mid-September. A week ago, the market’s bullish momentum and strong corporate treasury purchases pushed SOL’s price to an eight-month high of $253, leading many investors to anticipate the long-awaited rally to higher levels. However, this week’s pullbacks have sent most cryptocurrencies below crucial levels, with Bitcoin and Ethereum dropping to $108,000 and $3,800, respectively. Meanwhile, Solana has seen a 20% decline in the weekly timeframe, losing the $200 level. Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems asserted that SOL was “in freefall after that nasty deviation back into the range.” If Solana fails to hold the current $190-$200 range, the analyst considers it would be “very difficult” to find strong support before the demand zone around $150, a level not seen since the start of July. Similarly, market watcher Wise Crypto also noted that Solana could be in a make-or-break retest, as it retests a critical support zone and the overall market still shows some signs of weakness. According to the post, SOL has been trading within an ascending channel since April, bouncing between the upper and lower boundaries throughout this period. If the market’s recent volatility continues, the cryptocurrency could retest the channel’s support zone, around the $177-$188 levels. “If this zone breaks, the next major support is down below $150 — so caution is key,” they added. SOL Bounce Eyes $200 Reclaim Despite the volatility, Wise Crypto also signaled that “Stochastic RSI is signaling oversold conditions, suggesting a potential bounce could be on the horizon.” As a result, if SOL holds this support area, a move toward the $250 barrier could follow. As Solana approached its major ascending trendline, Crypto Batman noted that SOL has bounced from this level each time it has retested it, suggesting that “In the midst of chaos, you have to look at things from a different perspective.” Notably, SOL bounced from the recent lows on Friday Morning and is currently attempting to break above the $200 psychological barrier. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency must daily close above this key level and continue to hold it over the weekend to transform the pullback into a downside wick deviation in the weekly timeframe.

According to the market watcher, reclaiming and holding above that level would be the first bullish sign, which could potentially push Solana’s price toward $216–$220, near the 30-day MA. As of this writing, SOL trades at $199, a 1.4% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
SUI nears a crucial resistance level as intuitional momentum continues to grow and the network scores major partnerships. Some analysts suggest that the altcoin could see a breakout to new highs if the current levels hold. Related Reading: Bitcoin Set Up For ‘Promising’ Q4, Next Two Weeks Could Be Decisive SUI $4 Retest In Sight On Thursday, SUI surged 4.2% from its daily opening to reclaim the $3.90 area for the first time in a month. The cryptocurrency has been hovering within the $2.50.00-$4.00 price range after the May breakout, hitting a multi-month high of $4.44 in late July. Since then, the altcoin has failed to reclaim the range’s upper boundary, being rejected twice from this key zone in the past two months. Now, its recent rally has propelled its price back to the range highs, nearing the $4.00 resistance once again. Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems asserted that SUI’s low-timeframe structure “is super bullish,” highlighting the recent higher highs (HH). Following its recent breakout from a two-month falling wedge pattern, Sjuul affirmed that the altcoin also confirmed the high-timeframe bullish structure. The market watcher previously suggested that the cryptocurrency could be repeating a similar price action to its early Q3 breakout. Per the post, in Q2, SUI printed a new HH, followed by a correction within a falling wedge formation. Then, the cryptocurrency bounced from the local support and demand area, forming a lower high before rallying to a new HH at the start of Q3. Now, he considers that the price seems “ready to move higher” and that the next leg up could target SUI’s all-time high (ATH) levels. Similarly, Rekt Capital signaled that a successful breakout from the $3.80 would set the stage to revisit the $5.35 ATH. Notably, the current levels coincide with the resistance level of the cryptocurrency’s multi-month downtrend channel. Nonetheless, market watcher CW highlighted that SUI’s current sell wall extends from $3.85 to $4.00, suggesting that the price must hold this crucial area, or it will risk another rejection. What’s Behind The Momentum? SUI’s rally appears to be fueled by institutional interest, Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), and positive developments for the network. This week, the Sui Network became one of the launch partners for Google’s Agentic Payments Protocol (AP2). The tech giant’s new standard for AI-driven payments allows AI agents to execute transactions on behalf of users. Moreover, Tuttle Capital joined the Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) buzz and recently filed for a SUI Income Blast ETF to “seek current income” and “exposure to the share price of the daily performance of SUI.” It’s worth noting that at the start of the month, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed the final decision on the 21Shares SUI ETF to December 21, 2025. However, many expect that the investment product could be approved as early as October, alongside multiple other crypto-based ETFs that have been delayed for early Q4.

At the start of the month, Nasdaq-listed SUI Group Holdings announced it had total holdings of approximately 102 million tokens, worth around $403 million at current prices. The company also authorized a new $50 million stock repurchase program earlier this week. As of this writing, SUI is trading at $3.95, a 10% increase in the weekly timeframe.

Avalanche (AVAX) has reclaimed a crucial level as support after its recent rally, fueled by multiple bullish developments for the ecosystem. Some analysts forecast a massive rally toward the start-of-year highs if the momentum holds. Related Reading: Solana Season Next? Bitwise CIO Eyes ‘Epic’ Q4 Run Fueled By Corporate Demand Avalanche Eyes 35%-40% Rally On Thursday, Avalanche hit a seven-month high of $29.99 after breaking out of its multi-month accumulation range and turning the $26.50 resistance into support for the first time since February. The cryptocurrency has been rallying over the past few days, currently printing five consecutive green candles in the daily timeframe. Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems noted that AVAX had been pushing on the key resistance, holding a series of higher local lows before smashing past this area. A breakout from this resistance level could set the stage for a rally to the start-of-year range between $40-$45, the market watcher signaled in a previous analysis. Similarly, Rekt Capital highlighted that Avalanche had been “working to build a cluster of stability” since late July, which resembles the mid-2024 re-accumulation range that preceded Q4 2024’s breakout. According to the analyst, “if repeated, could open the green pathway toward the red resistance region that is increasingly confluent with the Macro Wedge top.” He explained that AVAX has been forming Higher Lows in the weekly timeframe, positioning the price slightly higher with each retest. As a result, a weekly close above the $26 area, followed by a successful post-breakout retest, would enable AVAX price to reclaim the $30 resistance region and attempt to retest the Macro Wedge Top, currently around the $35 mark. Market watcher CW pointed out that Avalanche’s next sell wall exists around the $35-$36 area, suggesting that the cryptocurrency could retest this level in the coming days if momentum continues. Meanwhile, the next major support zone sits around the $24 level, which could be revisited in case of a rejection from the key resistance. Crypto Treasuries, Partnerships Drive Momentum As the market turns green again, multiple bullish developments have also fueled AVAX’s rally. According to recent reports, the Avalanche Foundation, the nonprofit behind the project, is seeking to raise $1 billion to establish two US-based crypto treasury vehicles. One of the deals, led by Hivemind Capital and advised by SkyBridge’s founder Anthony Scaramucci, aims to raise up to $500 million in a private investment in a Nasdaq-traded company. It is expected to be completed by the end of September. The other deal, which is expected to be closed in October, seeks to raise the same amount and involves a special purpose acquisition (SPAC) vehicle sponsored by Dragonfly Capital. Notably, the funds from the two deals will reportedly be destined to purchase millions of AVAX from the Avalanche Foundation’s reserves, which could continue to fuel momentum for the cryptocurrency.

Additionally, the company behind the Avalanche Network also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement with WeBlock to push Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization and stablecoins in South Korea. As of this writing, Avalanche trades at $29.04, a 22.7% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a 4% bounce from the lows to retest a crucial resistance level, which could determine whether a breakout or a breakdown is next. Meanwhile, an analyst suggested that BTC’s final leg up and cycle peak could come in the coming weeks. Related Reading: No Ethereum Rally Until Q4? Analyst Eyes Choppy September Before New Highs Bitcoin Key Attempts Key Level Reclaim Following its recent drop, Bitcoin is now attempting to break out of its local range high and reclaim the $111,000 zone as support. As September started, the flagship crypto retested the $107,000 range low before bouncing 4% to the local upper boundary. Analyst Ali Martinez noted that BTC has been trading in a descending channel on the 4-hour chart for the past two weeks. The cryptocurrency retested the pattern’s upper boundary, around $110,700, breaking above this area on Tuesday morning. To the market watcher, Bitcoin needs to close above $110,700 for a meaningful rebound, as a confirmed breakout above this level could set the stage for a retest of $113,500. On the contrary, failing to reclaim this resistance will likely reinforce bearish momentum and deepen the correction, the analyst warned, adding that “the SuperTrend indicator also aligns with this zone, maintaining a bearish posture at $110,700.” Meanwhile, Sjuul from AltCryptoGems suggested that Bitcoin is attempting to replicate the same playbook of the recent significant pumps. According to the chart, the flagship crypto has entered a corrective period following a new all-time high (ATH), displaying a falling wedge pattern before breaking out again. Based on this, the $108,000 level is a key area for the bulls as it serves as a crucial bounce point. Holding this level would “confirm BTC’s strength on the higher timeframe, showcasing a formidable price action with resistance flipping and retesting.” To Sjuul, Bitcoin is at a “critical juncture to keep playing the same tune,” and failing to maintain it would increase the risks of a bigger correction to the $98,000 level, where the Weekly EMA50 sits. BTC To Peak In Coming Weeks? Rekt Capital gave a higher timeframe perspective for the flagship crypto, highlighting that BTC has shown mixed signals after failing to close the week above the $109,000 level. This level previously served as the final weekly resistance before new ATHs, which suggests it could be the first technical signal of a bearish confirmation. Nonetheless, he asserted that while the weekly timeframe is “showing early signs of weakness, the Monthly chart tells a different story.” Notably, Bitcoin has held its Macro Range of $107,200-$116,000. Additionally, monthly candles have produced long downside wicks throughout the cycle, with deep retests often occurring before trend continuation. This suggests that the broader market structure remains intact despite weekly pressure. As this week progresses, the cryptocurrency could see heightened volatility, tapping the $104,000 on a wick. He stated that “If the Weekly timeframe confirms rejection from $107k and progresses bearish confirmation, that could be the trigger for such a Monthly wick.” In this case, “then the goal for price would be to then resynchronize with the Monthly Range before the Monthly Close is in” to maintain the macro structure and set the stage for one last leg up. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Spikes As Whales Add 260K ETH In 24 Hours The analyst also noted that the previous bull market lasted about 152 weeks, while this one is already 145 weeks into it. This could signal that there are only around seven weeks left if the current bull market were to repeat its previous performance. “If Bitcoin is going to peak in its Bull Market in mid-September/mid-October 2025 as per historical Halving cycles… That’s either two weeks away or 1.5 months away,” the analyst concluded.

After a short-lived recovery, Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to bounce from a crucial level to reclaim the $110,000 support. However, some analysts suggest that a retest of the $90,000 level could be the next stop for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Another Short-Lived Solana Rally? Here’s Why It May Be Different This Time Bitcoin Drops To Weekly Lows Bitcoin lost the $110,000 support for the first time in nearly two months, dipping below the lower boundary of its local range, between $108,700-$119,500. The flagship crypto hit an eight-week low of $107,900 on Friday afternoon, raising concerns for its short-term rally among investors. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggested that the market is starting to show signs of fatigue, with Bitcoin Dominance displaying cracks after carrying “the bulk of the bull market momentum.” To the analyst, BTC’s current price action signals a macro trend shift, mirroring the 2021 price action and the conditions that preceded the 2021 cycle peak. At the time, the cryptocurrency hit a peak of $60,000 in April, retraced, rallied to $70,000, and set a strong bearish divergence against the Relative Strength Index (RSI) before the bear market began. This time, Bitcoin is showing the same setup that foreshadowed the end of the last cycle, with price making higher highs while the RSI makes lower lows, Martinez explained. Among other technical signals, the analyst highlighted that the MACD indicator had turned bearish this week. He detailed that this bearish crossover aligns with the price drop and reinforces the downside risks. Meanwhile, he added that the recent death cross in the Bitcoin MVRV Momentum indicator “signals a macro momentum reversal from positive to negative. This is a historically reliable warning sign of cyclical tops.” The analyst affirmed that the on-chain evidence suggests Bitcoin’s top may be in, at least temporarily, with bias shifting bearish and a risk of retesting lower support levels. Will BTC Mirror Its 2021 Drop? Martinez also noted that the $108,700 support is crucial for BTC’s short-term performance, as a weekly close below this area would confirm a deeper trend shift, which occurred in 2021. After peaking in late 2021, the flagship crypto lost its local range above the $58,000 mark, which led to a retest of the macro range’s mid-zone and an eventual drop below the macro range’s lows in the coming months. If BTC loses its immediate technical floor, the price could retest the $104,500 and $97,000 support levels, risking a drop to the mid-zone of the macro range, around the $94,000 area. Altcoin Sherpa weighed in on the cryptocurrency’s performance, stating that Bitcoin should have strong support between the $103,000-$108,000 levels, as the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) sits around the $104,000 mark. Related Reading: XRP Shows Strength Amid $3 Retest, But Analyst Warns Of Potential Correction However, analyst Ted Pillows considers that $124,000 appears to be the local top. He explained that, historically, Bitcoin’s bottoms occur after a retest of the weekly 60 EMA, which currently sits around the $92,000 support zone and has a CME gap. “In this scenario, Bitcoin will start a reversal after 3-4 weeks and a new ATH by November/December,” Ted concluded. As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $107,947, a 7.5% decline in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
XRP has recovered from the recent market pullback and is attempting to confirm the $3.00 level as support. However, an analyst suggested that the cryptocurrency risks a new retest of the range lows before bullish momentum continues. Related Reading: Cardano Retests Key Support As SEC Delays ETF Decision – Is An October Rally Brewing? XRP’s Daily Close Key For Momentum XRP has reclaimed a crucial level as support while the crypto market stabilizes from this week’s market downturn. The altcoin has been trading sideways over the past week, hovering between $2.85-$3.10 range. The cryptocurrency retested the range lows, holding the lower boundary as support during the recent market volatility. Now, the price surged 7% from Monday’s lows to the $3.08 area before retracing to the $3.00 mark. On Wednesday, analyst Ali Martinez noted that XRP was rejected from local resistance, around the $3.10 area, for the third time, which could signal a new correction to the range lows similar to the previous attempts. If the altcoin fails to hold the current level as support and loses the mid-range area, its price could drop to $2.83, risking a fall below the local range and a deeper correction. On the contrary, if bullish momentum continues and the cryptocurrency breaks out of the crucial resistance, its price could rally to the August high levels, between $3.20-$3.40. Similarly, analyst Cryptoinsightuk noted that XRP had a positive daily close, adding that the “RSI crossed bullish and even throughout this pullback we’ve seen no change in structure.” Nonetheless, he suggested that the cryptocurrency needs to continue its momentum with a second day of follow-through price actions and trading volume. The market watcher asserted that a daily close above the $3.14 area will set up the stage for a rally to the $3.40 resistance in the coming weeks. Is A 2017-Like Rally Coming? After its July rally to its latest all-time high (ATH) of $3.65, the altcoin has been consolidating within a bullish pennant, with price compressing between the pattern’s resistance and support levels. Analyst GalaxyBTC also noted that XRP has been compressing between two parallel levels, repeating its 2017 playbook. Previously, the cryptocurrency hovered between the previous ATH level and the rally breakout level, which was turned into support. Following a consolidation period, the cryptocurrency broke out of this range and recorded a massive rally to its 2018 ATH. This time, XRP turned the $1.70 area into support last November and has been consolidating between this level and the previous ATH for the past eight months, which could suggest that the rally isn’t over yet. If history repeats, a massive breakout will follow once the altcoin breaks out of the previous ATH resistance and turns it into support. Related Reading: Chainlink Ready For Massive Breakout? A 15% Drop May Come First Moreover, the analyst highlighted a key level in XRP’s trading pair against Bitcoin (BTC), explaining that the 0.00003014 area has been a resistance in the XRP/BTC chart over the past six years. While the XRP/BTC pair continues to near this resistance, the market watcher considers that “the timing is perfect, as breaking out will put us well into price discovery on the USD pair.” As of this writing, XRP is trading at $3.02, a 3.3% increase in the weekly timeframe.

Ethereum (ETH) is leading the end-of-the-week market recovery after finally breaking above the $4,800 resistance. As the cryptocurrency is attempting to reclaim this crucial area, some analysts suggest that a new all-time high (ATH) is imminent. Related Reading: Another Celebrity Scam? Kanye West Memecoin Launch Leaves 60% Of Investors In The Red Ethereum Hits New Multi-Year High On Friday, Ethereum broke above the $4,800 resistance for the first time since 2021, hitting a multi-year high of $4,834. The cryptocurrency has rallied over 14% over the past 24 hours, driven by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s annual address at Jackson Hole. In his speech, Powell signaled the possibility of an interest rate cut, affirming that “with policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” Following Powell’s remarks, the market soared, with Bitcoin (BTC) jumping from its local range low to the $117,000 area. Meanwhile, Ethereum initially climbed from the $4,200 support to reclaim the crucial $4,700 barrier. In a statement to CNBC, Jordi Alexander, CEO of crypto trading firm Selini Capital, suggested that crypto traders were caught completely offside by Powell’s dovish comments. “The market positioning in recent sessions has seen clear risk-off moves in assets like crypto and tech, and today’s setting up of a September rate cut is causing a panicked repositioning, which could continue through the illiquid weekend as shorts get squeezed,” he affirmed. Meanwhile, Joseph Chalom, Co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming, asserted that “the markets are loving Powell’s dovish speech. September rate cuts seem imminent. We’re at a pivotal moment in the market cycle.” ETH Ready For More? Notably, ETH has been consolidating between $3,762 support and $4,631 resistance since the early August breakout, retesting the $4,000-$4,100 mid-zone of this week’s pullback. On Friday afternoon, Ethereum continued its climb above the $4,800 resistance. This level was unsuccessfully tested last week, when the King of Altcoins hit a local high of $4,788 before being rejected. Analyst Crypto Jelle highlighted a one-week falling wedge pattern on ETH’s chart, which targeted a breakout to the $4,600-$4,800 area. Following today’s price jump, the analyst suggested that Ethereum is ready to target its all-time high of $4,878 after the breakout. Additionally, he noted that ETH already broke out of an 18-month bullish megaphone this month, which targets the $10,000 level. He explained that the cryptocurrency has successfully retested the key resistance level, around $4,000, during this week’s pullback and has “hardly any resistance left.” Related Reading: Chainlink Eyes Crucial Resistance After $25 Reclaim – Breakout Or Breakdown Next? Nonetheless, he warned that a pullback is likely to come following the massive pump but added that “the intent is clear. This market wants higher.” Similarly, Ted Pillows affirmed that volatility was expected after Powell’s speech, noting that it had happened in previous years. However, he suggested that a big ETH rally will follow, “just like the last time.” As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,799, a 32.6% increase in the monthly timeframe.

Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to reclaim a crucial level as support after bouncing from the recent drop below $115,000. Nonetheless, some analysts warned that the cryptocurrency is entering a corrective phase with a potential 15%-25% drop. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts ‘Utility Run’ Will Send XRP Price To $100 Bitcoin Risks Drop Below $110,000 On Monday, Bitcoin fell below the $115,000 level for the first time in nearly two weeks, retesting the $114,500 support before bouncing. The flagship crypto has been hovering between its local price range since August 7, hitting its latest all-time high (ATH) of $124,200 before ultimately being rejected from the range highs. Now, some market watchers have affirmed that BTC has entered a corrective phase, which could send the cryptocurrency below other crucial support levels. Ali Martinez noted that the recent rejection “came in the form of a deviation, which often signals weakness and opens the door for deeper pullbacks.” According to the analyst, Bitcoin has been trading within the $112,000-$122,000 price range, suggesting that the local bottom is the next key support level to watch as momentum leans bearish. Notably, the cryptocurrency immediately bounced from today’s drop, reclaiming the recently lost $116,500 breakout level, and nearing the $117,000 area again. To the analyst, a confirmed rebound could reset bullish momentum, sending the price to the range highs. However, if BTC’s price drops again and the $112,000 support doesn’t hold, the cryptocurrency risks triggering a $4,000 drop to the $108,000 area. Martinez highlighted that on-chain data shows a liquidity grab between these two levels. Additionally, the Accumulation Trend Score, which dropped to 0.20, signals that holders are “redistributing their Bitcoin rather than accumulating at these levels.” Has The Price Discovery Correction Begun? Analyst Rekt Capital pointed out that BTC failed to hold the crucial $119,000 level as support on the weekly chart, closing on Sunday below its weekly bull flag pattern that had been developing since early July. According to a previous analysis, turning the pattern’s bottom into resistance would be a bearish retest that would confirm the breakdown from the pattern, and potentially lead to a new retest of the $112,000 area. Amid its recent performance, he asserted that Bitcoin has entered its second Price Discovery Correction, which has historically followed the second Price Discovery Uptrend peak, between weeks 5-7. “Interestingly, the upside wick that formed last week developed right at the finish line in Week 6 before pulling back. This upside wick was crucial because it came to save the historical cyclicality that we tend to see in price action across cycles,” the analyst explained, as the previous ATH formed in Week 2 of the second uptrend. Related Reading: Ethereum Store-of-Value Evolution: From Utility Token To Digital Reserve Asset Rekt Capital suggested that Bitcoin could be transitioning into a corrective period. Nonetheless, he noted that this corrective might not last as long as previous corrections, as at this moment of the 2017 and 2021 cycles, BTC pullbacks lasted between 1-3 weeks and were 25% and 29% deep, respectively. “In both cases, these pullbacks were shorter and shallower by the standards of the previous corrections in the respective cycles,” he detailed, concluding that BTC must “ideally resolve this pullback over the next handful of weeks and perform a relatively shallow pullback of -15% to -25%.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Amid the recent market pullback, Solana (SOL) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area to continue with its bullish rally. Some analysts have suggested that the cryptocurrency will likely break out to new highs if a key support level is held. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Remains Green Despite Market Pullback – Is It Ready For A 70% Run? Solana Back Below $200 Earlier this week, the market soared under the lead of the two largest cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $124,000, and Ethereum (ETH) hit a multi-year high of $4,788 in the early hours of Thursday. Nonetheless, higher-than-expected macroeconomic signals and the US’s decision not to purchase BTC for its Strategic Reserve sent the market into a nosedive, with most tokens bleeding throughout the day. Solana, which had just climbed to an eight-month high of $209, saw a 10% drop from the highs, retesting the recently reclaimed $190 support level. Price continues to dip after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced it had pushed back its decision on multiple Spot SOL exchange-traded funds (ETFs). “The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change, and the issues raised therein,” the regulatory agency stated. The SEC delayed the final deadline for the decision on Bitwise, 21Shares, VanEck, Grayscale, and Canary Capital Solana ETFs for two months, pushing it to October 16, 2025. Despite the delay, ETF expert James Seyffart suggested that the SEC’s decision is not a bad sign, adding that he expects standard spot SOL ETFs to be approved by mid-October “at the latest.” The altcoin dropped to the $188 area before bouncing. After the brief market recovery, SOL continued to retest the $180-$190 area, hovering between the $184-$186 support zone throughout Friday afternoon. Last Dip Before New Highs? Analyst Ali Martinez offered a positive outlook for the cryptocurrency, affirming that Solana might be offering “a final buy-the-dip chance” before a potential 100% rally from current levels. The analyst pointed to a six-month ascending triangle pattern on the altcoin’s chart, which targets the $360 area once it breaks out of the formation. Notably, SOL has retested the pattern’s resistance twice since the July breakout, with its latest rejection occurring on Thursday. Amid the recent performance, Martinez also noted that wallets holding over 10,000 SOL tokens hit a new ATH this week, with 5,224 wallets holding around $2 million worth of Solana each. Related Reading: Ethereum Eyes ‘Final Boss’ Level, But Analyst Says Weekly Close Is Key For Price Discovery Run Meanwhile, Sjuul from AltCryptoGems asserted that the cryptocurrency is “trading in a perfect uptrend, already tested the resistance at $200 three times,” highlighting SOL’s four-month ascending channel. To the market watcher, Solana will likely break out and move to ATH levels soon if it holds above the $180 level, which has been a crucial support and resistance area for the altcoin this cycle. As of this writing, SOL is trading at $184.9, a 4.7% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area as price nears its 2021 all-time high (ATH). However, an analyst suggested that this week’s performance will be key for the long-awaited price discovery rally. Related Reading: SUI Set Up For Another Leg? Analyst Forecasts $10 Target For Potential Breakout Ethereum Eyes Last Major Resistance Over the past week, Ethereum has had a remarkable performance, jumping nearly 30% to a multi-year high of $4,750 on Wednesday afternoon, just 3.3% away from its ATH of $4,848, recorded in November 2021. Notably, the King of Altcoins has seen a 40% recovery from the start-of-month pullback, finally breaking from its local range and reclaiming the crucial $4,000 barrier last Friday. Since then, ETH has continued to soar, reclaiming the $4,400-$4,500 area on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency has been hovering between $4,600-$4,750 throughout the day, while attempting to break out of this range to potentially tackle “the final boss” of resistance around the $4,800 area. Analyst Rekt Capital discussed ETH’s recent performance, highlighting that it had successfully broken out of its multi-year resistance and turned it into support after its post-breakout retest at the start of the month, which has enabled the current move to the final Macro Range, between $3,762 and $4,631, that could precede new highs. However, he noted that the altcoin’s price “historically upside wicked beyond this final major Weekly/Monthly resistance for 3 straight weeks in a row” last cycle. As the analyst explained, in late 2021, Ethereum was rejected from the $4,631 resistance after hitting its ATH and attempting to turn it into support in the weekly timeframe, which was followed by an 80% retracement. This suggests that “how ETH treats $4,631 over the coming days will be pivotal” for the cryptocurrency’s upcoming performance, as it could potentially hit a new ATH but get ultimately rejected. Therefore, weekly closing above the Macro Range breakout level is crucial to “go against the grain of history.” Is A Rejection Next? Holding the $4,630 mark on the first attempt “would be a huge signal of strength,” the analyst asserted, but warned that “more often than not, price tends to get rejected but in a shallower manner.” If Ethereum fails to reclaim this level, the King of Altcoins could see an 18% drop to the Macro Range lows, around the $3,762 support, which would fulfill a key recently opened CME Gap on ETH’s chart. The Weekly CME gap, created this week, sits between the $4,091-$4,261 area, leading Rekt Capital to suggest that a more volatile retest of the CME gap could briefly send the price to the Macro Range lows. Meanwhile, if Ethereum reclaims the final major weekly resistance as support, ETH’s price discovery rally above the $5,000 mark will be next.

Notably, Ali Martinez suggested that once the $4,800 barrier is turned into support, the cryptocurrency will be poised for a rally to the $5,200 and $6,400 levels, according to the MVRV Extreme Deviation Pricing Bands. As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,748, a 56% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Sui (SUI) is attempting to reclaim a key resistance area after recovering from last week’s lows and growing institutional interest in the ecosystem, leading some analysts to suggest that a breakout might be around the corner. Related Reading: ZORA Hits New ATH Amid 50% Daily Surge – What’s Behind The Breakout? SUI Rallies Amid Ecosystem Interest On Tuesday, SUI jumped 7.4% intraday following major news for the ecosystem from institutional players. The cryptocurrency has been attempting to reclaim the $3.90-$4.00 zone over the past few weeks, briefly breaking out during the July market rally. The altcoin has been trading between $2.33-$4.00 price range since the Q2 recovery, hitting a seven-month high of $4.44 two weeks ago. For most of this period, SUI has hovered within the mid-zone of its multi-month range, failing to reclaim the $4.00 resistance multiple times. The early August pullback saw the token drop 27% from the local highs before bouncing at the end of last week. Since then, SUI’s price has recovered 20% from this month’s lows, rallying 6.65% in the past 24 hours to the $3.90 area. On August 12, one of the largest digital asset firms, Grayscale Investments, announced two new products that expand its “existing lineup of Sui Ecosystem products.” Earlier this year, the firm launched its Grayscale Sui Trust, which fueled a 44% rally after the announcement. Now, the firm has launched the Grayscale DeepBook Trust and the Grayscale Walrus Trust to “offer investors exposure to two key protocols driving innovation within the Sui ecosystem,” affirmed Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, Grayscale’s Head of Product and Research. The trusts, which are now open for daily subscriptions for eligible accredited investors, function as Grayscale’s other single-asset investment trusts and are solely invested in the DEEP and WAL tokens, respectively. SUI’s Price Ready For $10? Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems noted the cryptocurrency “really likes to move along the 3 drives pattern.” The pattern consists of three consecutive price movements in the same direction, before a trend reversal. As the chart shows, SUI displayed a bullish 3 drives formation during the November-January rally, which was followed by a bearish 3 drives pattern during the February-April pullback. Now, the cryptocurrency has been potentially repeating the bullish setup since the May breakout, with the third drive up still ahead. “We should still have one leg left,” the analyst asserted, which could propel SUI’s price to the $5.00 resistance. Crypto Rand noted that SUI is consolidating after its local breakout, which could target an initial run to the $5.00 mark and a potential rally to an all-time high (ATH) around the $10 barrier. Related Reading: XRP Stumbles, But A Recovery Could Be Around The Corner Similarly, analyst Alex Clay suggested that investors should “not ignore SUI,” as it has a potential cycle top of $11.7. He explained that altcoin displays a strong higher timeframe with a cup and handle formation between 2023 and 2024, followed by a re-accumulation within a 10-month symmetrical triangle. To the market watcher, the compression period “is over” and a breakout could be imminent in the coming weeks. A confirmed breakout from the $4.00 resistance could kickstart a rally to a new high between the $7.90 and $11.7 area. As of this writing, SUI trades at $3.91, a 12% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to break out of a crucial resistance level after recovering from last week’s lows. Some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency is repeating past breakout playbooks, which could lead to a new high this quarter. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Targets $0.80 As Price Retests Key Level – Is An 85% Jump Ahead? Fourth Time’s The Charm? On Thursday, Ethereum retested the $3,850 level after recording a 6.3% surge in the daily timeframe. The surge was fueled by news of President Donald Trump’s alleged plan to sign an executive order that would allow private equity, real estate, cryptocurrency, and other alternative assets investments in 401(k) plans. The executive order would reportedly direct the Department of Labor (DOL) to revise the guidelines related to alternative asset investments in retirement plans, opening the doors to the $12.5 trillion industry. Notably, the King of Altcoins has been trading between the $3,400-$3,800 price range since the mid-July breakout, attempting to break out from the last “major resistance” zone three times during this period. Last week, ETH surged to a seven-month high of $3,941, briefly trading above the key resistance zone before retracing to its local range. The start-of-August correction saw the cryptocurrency retreat to the range lows, retesting the $3,350-$3,400 area as support. Ethereum attempted to reclaim the range highs as this week started, trading in the $3,600-$3,700 mid-zone for the past three days. However, today’s pump saw the second-largest crypto surge past the $3,800 area and retest the $3,850 local resistance. Following its recent performance, analyst Alex Clay considers that ETH’s correction “seems to be over.” He highlighted an 18-month descending broadening wedge on the daily chart, affirming that a “breakout is imminent” as the cryptocurrency neared the formation’s upper boundary. Ethereum To Hit New Highs Soon Analyst Ted Pillows affirmed that ETH is “just one bullish candle away from a major breakout,” highlighting the similarities between its May-June setup and its current one. Following the May breakout, Ethereum traded within its local range, failing to break above the $2,700 resistance multiple times before its June bull and bear traps. Following the fake-out and retest of the lows, the cryptocurrency broke out of its range and hit a new yearly high in the following weeks. Similarly, ETH has been trading within its current range after the July breakout, as the analyst’s chart shows, retesting the local resistance before the late July bull trap. After the early August bear trap, the King of Altcoins is now retesting the $3,850-$3,900 area. A breakout from this zone could propel the price above the $4,000 barrier if history repeats. Based on this, the analyst suggested that a $5,000 target is possible before the quarter ends. Meanwhile, Rekt Capital highlighted that the Ethereum Dominance (ETHDOM) has surged above the 12% level in an uptrend for the first time in five years. Related Reading: Solana To Drop Before The ‘Real Move’? Analyst Forecasts New Highs In Q3 He noted that the last time ETHDOM rallied to this area was in July 2020, when it consolidated between the 12% to 16% zone for months before breaking out in 2021. According to the analyst, ETHDOM is now challenging to transition into a similar consolidation phase. As of this writing, ETH trades at $3,826 in the one-week chart, a 48% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
After recovering from its local lows, Cardano (ADA) is retesting a key area that could send the price to the next crucial resistance. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is preparing for a massive rally. Related Reading: Solana To Drop Before The ‘Real Move’? Analyst Forecasts New Highs In Q3 Cardano Retests Key Resistance Following last week’s drop to the $0.70 support, Cardano is attempting to break out of a crucial resistance level to continue its rally. The cryptocurrency has surged 8.8% from Friday’s low, retesting the $0.74-$0.76 area throughout this week. Notably, ADA has been hovering between the $0.65-$0.85 price range since the Q2 market recovery, briefly losing this area during the June pullback. However, the July market pump sent the altcoin to a four-month high of $0.93, sparking bullish sentiment among investors. Since then, Cardano has been in a downtrend, attempting to break out of the descending resistance for the past two weeks. Market watcher Sebastian noted that the cryptocurrency has repeatedly retested the $0.76 zone over the past few days, suggesting that “the more it tests it, the higher the likelihood to break it.” According to the analyst, ADA must reclaim the 50-day Moving Average (MA), which has served as a strong resistance and support level and coincides with the descending resistance breakout area. Following today’s performance, the altcoin has reclaimed the 50 MA indicator and eyes a retest of the $0.76 resistance. A breakout from this level would set the stage for a retest of the next crucial area between $0.79 and $0.80. “Getting back above $0.80 would confirm the trend reversal,” Sebastian affirmed. Meanwhile, a rejection from this area could propel Cardano to retest the recent lows and risk losing its local range again. ADA Breakout Eyes 85%-120% Rally Man of Bitcoin noted ADA’s recent performance, asserting that it is “now potentially working on a small 1-2 setup.” Based on this, he suggested that “as long as the price remains above the last swing low at $0.685, wave-5 of iii should follow next.” Meanwhile, analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that the cryptocurrency has been trading within a descending channel since its December 2024 high of $1.32. According to the chart, ADA retested the channel’s upper boundary for the first time in months during the July breakout but was ultimately rejected. Reclaiming the $0.76 could propel the altcoin to the channel’s resistance, and “a breakout above $0.84 could set Cardano on a path toward $1.30.” Additionally, Martinez asserted that “ADA is showing the same price structure as the last cycle, only this time, it’s unfolding more gradually. And it feels like we’re right at the beginning of an explosive move.” Similarly, Crypto Bullet stated that Cardano has been following a pattern over this cycle. Per the chart, the cryptocurrency has been trading down for months before breaking out and reaching new local highs. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin’s Price Discovery Rally Over? This Week’s Performance May Hold The Answer Last month, the cryptocurrency broke out of its eight-month downtrend, targeting a rally toward the $1.60 area. Now, ADA is retesting the descending resistance line, which could set up the stage for the 120% jump if the breakout is confirmed. As of this writing, Cardano is trading at $0.74, a 3% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Injective (INJ) has hit a five-month high after retesting a crucial resistance level on Monday and attempting to break out from a bullish pattern. Some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency will have a massive run in the coming weeks. Related Reading: Bitcoin Demand Builds at $117K: Cost Basis Distribution Defines Key Support Level Injective Retests Crucial Levels Over the past month, Injective has recorded a substantial bullish performance, climbing 40% since late June, when the cryptocurrency traded below the $10 support. Since hitting its December high of $35.26, INJ has retraced around 60%, falling below this key support multiple times. During the April-May market recovery, the cryptocurrency broke out of its multi-month downtrend and climbed to its $10-$15 local price range, hitting a multi-month high of $15.48. However, the June pullback sent the token’s price to the $9 support zone before it bounced, tested the $10-$12 area, and broke out of its one-month downtrend in early July. At the time, analyst Crypto Rand suggested that a breakout above the $12 resistance level would “trigger the bull reversal,” which would push the token’s price toward the local range high. Injective has been attempting to reclaim the crucial $15 range high since its early July breakout, hitting a five-month high of $16.35 on Monday and passing the $16 barrier for the first time since February. Amid the token’s momentum, Crypto Rand noted that “INJ following the path, we are going straight to $30” as the first stop.” He added that Injective has become the Layer-1 (L1) with the highest code commits over the past 365 days. A recent report showed that the network is leading with 36,500 commits, 3.2% ahead of other L1s. Is A Rally To New Highs Near? Analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that Injective could see a 66% rally if it breaks out of a triangle formation. According to the chart, the cryptocurrency has been forming an ascending triangle pattern since March, with the key resistance level sitting around the $15 area. Amid its start-of-week pump, the cryptocurrency briefly broke out of the pattern but ultimately failed to hold above the crucial resistance. Notably, INJ fell below the $15 mark after failing to reclaim this level, retracing 10% intraday. However, reclaiming the key resistance would propel Injective to $25, a level not seen since January. Meanwhile, market watcher Crypto Patel pointed out an inverse Head and Shoulders pattern forming on Injective’s chart over the past six months, which could propel the token to a new yearly high if it breaks out. He highlighted that the INJ’s rising trendline support remains intact, while the pattern’s neckline has been retested twice, with the price compressing between these two levels. To the analyst, Injective needs a daily close and hold above the $16.20 area to confirm the breakout. If it reclaims this level, the setup would target a 153% move toward $41 mark, with the post-breakout initial targets sitting around the $26.36 and $34.32 resistances. Related Reading: TRON Sees $1B USDT Mint: Liquidity Wave Incoming? On the contrary, he affirmed that falling below the $12 support zone would invalidate the setup, which could also send the token’s price to the next support level around the $10 mark. As of this writing, Injective trades at $14.70, a 4.6% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to reclaim its most critical resistance after registering a nearly 70% rally in the past month. Some crypto analysts suggest that the King of Altcoins is preparing to aim for new highs, but warned a potential pullback might come first. Related Reading: PENGU Leads Top Memecoin List Amid 20% Daily Surge – What’s Behind The Rally? Ethereum Risks 15% Correction Ethereum started the week hitting a yearly high and recording a 178% recovery from the April lows. The cryptocurrency has seen a significant rally over the past few weeks, following its price breakout and consolidation between May and June. As the crypto market started to soar again this month, driven by Bitcoin’s climb to new all-time highs (ATHs), ETH reclaimed the crucial $3,000 barrier and has continued to rise to its most critical resistance around the $3,800 area. On Monday, Ethereum reached its yearly high of $3,860 before being rejected and retracing to the $3,600 area. Following this performance, analyst Ali Martinez suggested that the $3,835 resistance and the $3,490 support will likely determine Ethereum’s next move. Notably, the $3,825 area sits as the largest resistance ahead, where 2.82 million addresses have bought 1.48 million ETH. Reclaiming this level would set the stage for a rally to the cycle high of $4,107. Meanwhile, the $3,490 area, where 4.18 million addresses bought 3.53 million ETH, remains the largest support after the recent breakout. A strong rejection from the key resistance could send the price toward this area if the current levels don’t hold. Market Watcher Andrew Crypto considers that Ethereum will likely see a correction soon, as “a chart without a correction isn’t a healthy chart.” To the analyst, the cryptocurrency could be headed to its yearly opening (YO) area, between $3,300-$3,400, after being rejected from the local supply zone and major resistance. Nonetheless, he forecasted a bounce and retest of the $3,800 mark if the pullback occurs. ETH To Repeat Past Cycle’s Playbook? Analyst Crypto Bullet suggested that Ethereum’s performance resembles its price action from last cycle. According to the post, ETH’s chart is starting to form a Descending Broadening Wedge pattern, “almost identical” to its setup from 2019-2020. To the analyst, “The picture looks very bullish right now” as price is testing the pattern’s resistance for the third time. He believes it will break out this time, similar to what happened in 2020, and eyes a cycle top target between $8,000 and $10,000. Crypto Bullet warned that a 10%-15% pullback to the $3,300-$3,400 area could come first, but added that “If we do break this formidable Resistance, ETH will rally hard. In this case, a new ATH is guaranteed.” Similarly, Merlijn The Trader highlighted the similarities between Ethereum’s rally in 2017 and 2025, as the King of Altcoin shows the “Same range. Same fakeout. Same breakout.” Related Reading: Tron Outpaces Ethereum In Fee Revenue – TRX Burn Accelerates The trader noted that ETH retested the key resistance twice in 2016-2017 before breaking out and recording a 5,000% rally. To him, the cryptocurrency could have a similar performance this cycle as institutions are “behind the wheel.” As of this writing, ETH is trading at $3,698, a 21% increase in the weekly timeframe.

The Pudgy Penguins project has had a massive rally over the past week, stealing the spotlight in both the non-fungible token (NFT) and memecoin sectors. Amid its recent performance, some analysts suggest that the token is preparing for a 140% run to new highs. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Breaks Above $0.26 In Weekend Rally As Pundit Predicts 2,600% Surge Pudgy Penguins Catch NFT And Memecoin Rally On Monday, Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) became one of the leading memecoins after surging nearly 20% in the past 24 hours. The Solana-based token saw its price climb from the $0.031 mark to a six-month high of $0.040 before retracing to the $0.036 area. Pudgy Penguins is one of the largest NFT collections, with a market capitalization of 143,897 ETH. It consists of 8,888 unique cartoons of cute penguins and sits behind CryptoPunks as the second-largest NFT collection. In December, the Pudgy Penguins project launched its official token, PENGU, on the Solana Blockchain, gathering massive attention during the Q4 2024 rally. The memecoin flipped tokens like dogwifhat (WIF) and BONK, momentarily becoming the largest Solana memecoin by market cap and the fourth-largest memecoin by this metric, just behind Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and PEPE. During the recent crypto market performance, PENGU has significantly recovered from its April all-time low (ATL) of $0.003, which represented a 95% decline from its December all-time high (ATH) of $0.068. Over the past week, the token has reclaimed crucial levels after breaking out of its multi-month downtrend and rallied around 30%, surpassing the daily and weekly performances of SHIB and PEPE. Pudgy Penguins NFT collection also soared in the past 24 hours, with a 290% increase in trading volume, driven by the recent interest in the sector. The collection’s 16% daily surge saw its floor price rise to 16.19 ETH, or $60,242, by Monday afternoon. Notably, the NFT market cap reached its highest level since January after jumping 17% on Sunday from $5.1 billion to $6 billion, according to CoinGecko data. A recent report noted that NFT sales increased by 78% in Q2, while the number of traders increased 20% from Q1, suggesting renewed interest in the sector. PENGU Eyes 140% Surge Crypto analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems noted that the Solana memecoin has been showing positive signs of strength since late June, when it broke out of a textbook multi-month Cup and Handle pattern. Since then, the token has smashed past the pattern’s neckline, around the $0.018 mark, and reclaimed the $0.020 resistance as support, which propelled its 30% surge in the weekly timeframe to its $0.035-$0.040 levels. Ahead of the Monday surge, Ali Martinez highlighted that PENGU was “ready for another leg up” as it had been accumulating within a symmetrical triangle formation over the past week. Based on this pattern, the cryptocurrency could see a 140% surge toward the $0.075 barrier if it continues to hold above the $0.031-$0.033 breakout area and confirms these levels as support in the coming days. Meanwhile, two market watchers have shared optimistic targets for the cryptocurrency this cycle. Byzantine General affirmed that PENGU could go to a market capitalization of $10 billion. “If you consider that it’s the memecoin with the most mainstream adoption, with maybe the exception of DOGE, it’s not that crazy at all actually,” he detailed. Similarly, Crypto Kaleo considers that “$0.8888 is a decent target, but it’s still FUD.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Rally On Thin Ice: Analyst Predicts Sudden Shakeout To the analyst, “PENGU to $4.20 would put it at a $373B mcap. This is a much better upside target.” He explained his bold prediction, arguing that “Last bull market, SHIB hit 50% of DOGE’s peak. There’s room to have other high-quality memes do something similar this cycle.” As of this writing, PENGU trades at $0.036, a 19% increase in the daily timeframe.

Solana (SOL) has recorded a significant rally over the past week, reclaiming the $160 area and attempting to hold its last major resistance. Some analysts suggest that if bullish momentum continues, the altcoin will run to new highs once this level is recovered. Related Reading: 2025 Crypto Thefts Spike: Stolen Funds Hit $2.7 Billion In H1– Report Solana Attempts $180 Reclaim As the crypto market capitalization nears the $4 trillion mark and Bitcoin (BTC) makes new all-time highs (ATHs), Solana, one of the leading altcoins of this cycle, is retesting crucial levels after climbing nearly 10% over the past week. The cryptocurrency has been compressing between two key levels since the Q2 recovery, trading between the $140-$180 mark for over two months. However, last month’s geopolitical tensions saw SOL briefly lose its local range and retest the $120-$130 area. Amid the July rally, Solana has reclaimed its local range, climbing to the upper boundary and attempting to break above key $180 resistance. Analyst Crypto Jelle noted that, just like Ethereum’s (ETH) $4,000 barrier, this area is the “final major level for bears to defend.” This has been a key level during this cycle, serving as a major bounce area during the Q4 2024 and early 2025 rally. Additionally, it became the most crucial resistance after losing this area in late February, with multiple failed attempts to reclaim it over the past months. Reclaiming this level could propel the token to the $200 mark and set the stage for a continuation to higher levels, the analyst affirmed. Meanwhile, market watcher Froggy highlighted that Solana retested this key zone on Friday, “signaling strong bullish intent.” Nonetheless, the altcoin fell below this level after hitting its two-month high of $184, trading within the $177-179 price range for the past several hours. To the analyst, “as long as $168 holds, a move toward $186–$188 remains likely.” SOL Preparing For Price Discovery? According to Daan Crypto Trades, if SOL breaks above and holds the crucial level, the next area of interest would be around the $220 mark, followed by the $260 barrier. The trader explained that SOL reclaimed the Daily 200 Moving Average (MA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) earlier this week, which led to the ongoing retest of the $180 area. He also noted that memecoins are “running well” as SOL-based tokens in the sector have seen a 13.3% weekly increase, according to CoinGecko data. “That generally puts some bid behind SOL,” Daan said, adding that, “As long as memes run, I think SOL does too.” Meanwhile, crypto analyst Alex Clay highlighted that the cryptocurrency has been in a bullish megaphone formation for over a year, and “Once Large Caps catch the Real Bull Run,” Solana will lead the market. During this period, SOL has traded between the upper and the lower boundary, with its latest retest of the pattern’s support occurring in April. Since then, the cryptocurrency has bounced toward the mid-zone of the formation, holding the 50-day EMA, 100-day EMA, and 200-day EMA as dynamic support. Related Reading: Crypto Relief: House Advances GENIUS, CLARITY, Anti-CBDC Bills After Narrow Vote If it continues to move between the pattern’s boundaries, Solana could be poised for a breakout toward the megaphone’s ascending resistance, at around the $350 level. To the analyst, “Breakout of ATH and Price Discovery is inevitable,” with the initial targets sitting around $350-$400. As of this writing, SOL trades at $177, a 2% increase in the daily timeframe.

SUI is attempting to reclaim a crucial resistance level after its massive performance over the past few weeks. As it breaks out of a triangle formation, some analysts suggest that a rally to a new all-time high (ATH) could be around the corner. Related Reading: Top Crypto Exchanges Made $172 Million From TRUMP Memecoin Listing – Report SUI Breaks Out Of Multi-Month Pattern On Tuesday, SUI broke above the $4.00 resistance for the first time since May, hitting a two-month high of $4.10. The altcoin has seen an 81% surge over the past three weeks, recovering from the June retracement and setting up for a rally continuation. Notably, SUI ended its multi-month downtrend at the end of March, breaking above its descending resistance and jumping to its $4.29 high in May. Following the Q2 breakout, the cryptocurrency has been trading within the $2.33-$4.10 range. However, last month’s market pullback sent the token from its key $3.00 mid-range support to its three-month low of $2.22 before the recent recovery. Since then, SUI has reclaimed the mid-range area and skyrocketed toward the range high as Bitcoin’s (BTC) ATH rally leads the market. Over the past 24 hours, SUI has soared nearly 15% from the $3.50 support toward the $4.00 resistance, breaking out of a triangle formation and potentially setting the stage for a massive breakout. Analyst Ali Martinez affirmed that the altcoin’s bullish price action could push its price to a new ATH as it has broken out of a multi-month symmetrical triangle pattern over the past few days and attempts to turn the next key level into support. According to the market watcher, SUI finally broke above the descending resistance after reclaiming the $3.50 area on Monday and could target a 140% move to the $7.60 area if there’s a spike in buying pressure. Similarly, analyst Nebraskangooner highlighted that reclaiming the $4.00 resistance will propel the cryptocurrency to a new ATH. This level has been a crucial support since the Q3 2024 rally and a key resistance area after the early 2025 pullbacks. Is A Double-Digit Rally Coming? Crypto Bullet noted that SUI has entered its Wave 3, which eyes a double-digit target for the cryptocurrency. The analyst previously explained that the altcoin had a “clear 1-5 impulse off the April’s low – higher degree Wave (1),” before entering the corrective Wave 2 between late May and Early June. However, “Wave 2 took longer and went deeper than expected (obviously due to the situation in the Middle East).” After the recent breakout, SUI has entered the long-awaited Wave 3, with a 51% increase so far, and a target above the $10 mark, the analyst detailed. Additionally, he pointed to SUI’s trading pair against Solana (SOL), as the weekly chart “Looks like a breakout is imminent.” The altcoin is currently retesting a crucial resistance level against SOL, which could lead to a breakout to the 0.0470 area. “In the coming weeks, SUI will just crush Solana,” Crypto Bullet forecasted. Related Reading: Unraveling The Bitcoin Boom: Experts Decode Record $123,000 Surge Meanwhile, Crypto Kaleo affirmed that the cryptocurrency has continued its bounce on its trading pair against BTC. At the start of the month, the analyst highlighted that SUI had bounced from its BTC and USD pairs, becoming one of the leading altcoins. “BTC ratio chart looks ready to rip out of the wedge it’s been accumulating in since the beginning of 2025. Up only,” he concluded. As of this writing, SUI is trading at $3.96, a 3% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
In a positive development for the crypto community, the individual responsible for the GMX exploit accepted the platform’s bounty and returned over $40 million worth of assets stolen from the project. Related Reading: Drop NFTs Like It’s Hot: Snoop Dogg’s Telegram Collection Raises $12M In 30 Minutes Crypto Hacker Takes $42 Million From GMX On Friday, the recent GMX V1 exploit ended on a happy note after the individual responsible for the incident turned into a white-hat hacker. Perpetual and spot crypto exchange GMX lost over $40 million on Wednesday when an attacker exploited a vulnerability in the protocol’s first version on Arbitrum. According to online reports, GMX V1’s vault contract had a vulnerability that allowed the attacker to manipulate the GLP token price through the system’s calculations. Blockchain security firm SlowMist explained that “The root cause of this attack stems from GMX v1’s design flaw, where short position operations immediately update the global short average prices (globalShortAveragePrices), which directly impacts the calculation of Assets Under Management (AUM), thereby allowing manipulation of GLP token pricing.” Through a reentrancy attack, they successfully established massive short positions to manipulate the global average prices, artificially inflating GLP prices within a single transaction and profiting through redemption operations. As a result, approximately $42 million worth of assets, including Legacy Frax Dollar (FRAX), wrapped bitcoin (WBTC), wrapped ETH (WETH), and other tokens, were transferred from the GLP pool to an unknown wallet. The perpetual crypto exchange halted GMX V1’s trading and GLP’s minting and redeeming on both Arbitrum and Avalanche to prevent another attack and protect users’ funds. However, they clarified that the exploit was limited to GMX’s V1 and its GLP pool. GMX V2, its markets, or liquidity pools, and the GMX token were not affected and remained safe. White-Hat Claims $5 Million Bounty Following the incident, GMX sent a message on-chain and on X offering a $5 million white-hat bounty to the attacker, claiming that their abilities were “evident to anyone looking into the exploit transactions.” GMX’s team noted that returning the funds within the next 48 hours and accepting the bounty would allow the hacker to “spend the funds freely,” instead of taking additional risks to access them. They also vowed not to pursue any legal action and to assist the exploiter in providing proof of source for the funds if it is ever required. Today, the exploiter responded in an on-chain message, accepting the bounty and starting the return process. As Lookonchain reported, they initially returned $10.49 million worth of FRAX on Friday morning. Meanwhile, another $32 million worth of assets had been swapped into 11,700 ETH, which are now valued at $35 million after the King of Altcoins’ price jumped to the $2,990 mark. In the following hours, the hacker returned 10,000 ETH, worth $30 million, keeping only 1,700 ETH, valued at $5.2 million, as the bounty. Related Reading: Solana Ready For $160 Reclaim? Analysts Say Breakout Is A Matter Of Time GMX later confirmed that the funds have now been safely returned and thanked the white-hat hacker for their actions, ultimately giving a positive turn to the incident.

The drop is part of Telegram’s Collectible Gifts, unique works of art on the platform that can be displayed on profiles and have special attributes. As the website explains, the collectibles can be transferred between users or auctioned on NFT marketplaces. Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov, revealed that the Snoop Dogg drop sold out in 30 minutes, selling 996,000 NFTs for $12 million, adding that “Blockchain minting and the secondary market go live in 21 days. It’s going to be wild.” Last week, Durov shared that the 4th of July-themed Gifts also sold out within minutes, with over 800,000 collectibles selling in 10 minutes. Amid the collectibles’ launch, the rapper promoted it alongside a new track titled “Gifts” on his official Telegram Channel. He shared the link to the song’s music video and tagged Durov’s Telegram channel, saying, “time to drop it like it’s hot.” In the track, Snoop Dogg shouts out Toncoin (TON), the native token of the TON Blockchain, and Telegram. “Plug in my phone, get dressed, and then I plot my play / Critical existence, digital resistance / Shifted, gifted, and lifted / (…) / Stickers and games on Telegram, guess it’s coming soon / My privacy is not for sale,” some of the lyrics read. Notably, this isn’t the rapper’s first NFT venture, as he entered the space when the sector first gained mainstream popularity in 2021 and dropped collections in 2022 and 2023. NFT Mania Making A Comeback? On X, NFT lead at the TON blockchain, Zenith highlighted the drop’s success, as some of the supply gifts sold out in less than 2 minutes. He explained that Telegram gifts have had a peak market capitalization of over $200 million and a trading volume of $122 million since their launch. According to the post, the first OG collection, the Plush Pepe, now has a floor price of 4,200 TON, worth $11,886. “They are NFT Collectibles that are on the TON Blockchain and inside of Telegram!” he noted. To Zenith, this could be the start of a new NFT narrative, adding that they “would not be surprised if other famous brands or web3 IPs would want to launch some gifts too!” However, they pointed out that it could also mean nothing for the sector. In a recent report, DappRadar shared that Q2 data revealed new narratives are emerging, while old ones are “making a comeback.” The report claims that “NFTs are becoming more affordable, but the interest hasn’t disappeared. On the contrary, it’s shifting in nature,” a trend the platform’s analysts have been observing “for a while.” Related Reading: Solana Ready For $160 Reclaim? Analysts Say Breakout Is A Matter Of Time Notably, NFT trading volume dropped by 45% in Q2, but sales increased by 78%. Meanwhile, the number of traders increased 20% from Q1, with an average of 668,598 monthly traders. “Taken together with the spike in sales, this suggests a slow but steady return of users to the NFT space, although likely for different motivations than in previous cycles,” the report concluded.

As the crypto market moves sideways, Solana (SOL) compresses between two key levels. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is about to break out and reclaim a crucial resistance level, which could trigger the long-awaited retest of the $200 barrier.

Solana Holds Key Support After recovering from last month’s downtrend, Solana has been attempting to reclaim the crucial $160 level to continue its bullish rally. The cryptocurrency traded between the $140-$180 range for two months, but briefly lost its post-breakout range in late June. Two weeks ago, SOL fell below the $130 area, hitting a two-month low of $126 on June 22. Since then, the altcoin has recovered, fueled by last week’s launch of a Solana staked crypto Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) in the US by Rex Shares. Following the news, Solana’s price jumped toward the $160 resistance level but was rejected, hovering between the $145-$155 price range for the past week. On Tuesday, SOL fell below the $150 level, hitting the $147 support before bouncing. Analyst Ali Martinez noted that the $147.59 area is one of the most important support levels for Solana, as losing this level could trigger a pullback to the next key zone around the $141 mark. Similarly, market watcher Man of Bitcoin affirmed that SOL’s key support to maintain is around $141.91, adding that “a sustained break below this level would suggest that wave-C of (ii) is already underway.” The analyst previously warned that there is a potential scenario “with one more low in wave-5,” if the cryptocurrency doesn’t hold about the $148 mark. However, maintaining this support would build a base to target the local highs. SOL About To Retest $160? Analyst Carl Runefelt from The Moon Show affirmed that SOL is “about to break off” a triangle formation and test the $162 resistance. As the price compresses between the upper and lower boundaries, the analyst suggested that the cryptocurrency’s breakout is around the corner. Notably, Solana has been forming a one-week symmetrical triangle pattern in the daily chart. If the cryptocurrency successfully breaks above the $152-$153 zone, it could see a 10.87% jump toward the technical target of $167. The Cryptonomist highlighted that SOL broke out of a multi-day diagonal resistance on Sunday, which was retested and confirmed as support after bouncing around the $147 twice since the breakout.

Meanwhile, Crypto Jelle noted that despite the April downside deviation, Solana continues to trade within its $125-$180 Macro Range, currently hovering around the mid-range. To him, “it looks like it’s just waiting for BTC to break out. Once it reclaims $160, $200 should come quickly. Above there, new all-time highs are within reach.” As of this writing, Solana is trading at $151.51, a 3.6% increase in the weekly timeframe.
