THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

As Ethereum turns 10 years old, the crypto community has gathered to celebrate the network that helped shape the industry over the past decade, with anecdotes from industry leaders and bullish predictions for Ether’s (ETH) upcoming price action. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin’s Final Leg Is Near – Time To Be ‘Cautiously Optimistic’? Ethereum Hits 10-Year Milestone Ethereum and the crypto community are celebrating the blockchain’s 10th anniversary by highlighting some of the ecosystem’s key events since 2015, like the ICO craze, the non-fungible tokensFT boom, The Merge, and spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In an X post, Unchained host Laura Shin listed some of Ethereum’s milestones, including its first spot in client diversity, Total Value Locked (TVL), and the number of ecosystem developers. Shin also emphasized the network’s 100% uptime rate during the last 10 years. One of Ethereum’s developers, Lefteris Karapetsas, commemorated the anniversary by sharing some pictures from July 30, 2015, stating, “We were a small team of hackers in an office in Kreuzberg in Berlin and we had just launched the Ethereum network. The rest is history. Looking back at the last 10 years, I am excited about the next 10 years, the next 25, the next 100.” Meanwhile, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed how the US immigration system technically “contributed” to Ethereum’s creation: Fun fact: I met @vitalikbuterin in 2013 at the San Jose Bitcoin conference when he was writing for Bitcoin Magazine (his writing was great). A few months later I invited him to come by Coinbase’s first office in San Francisco for a visit and he showed us some cool stuff on his laptop. Armstrong explained that he tried to hire Vitalik Buterin in 2013, but due to a series of circumstances, including problems obtaining a US work Visa, Buterin was forced to return to Canada. “While he was stuck in Canada, he created Ethereum,” the CEO detailed, “So, in a way, the sub-optimal immigration system in the U.S. contributed to the creation of Ethereum.” Bankless co-founder David Hoffman jokingly replied that “Coinbase almost prevented Ethereum from ever happening.” ETH’s Birthday Fun Delayed? On its birthday, ETH started the day trying to reclaim the $3,800 mark, which some analysts consider the “last major resistance” before new highs. The King of Altcoins has been attempting to successfully break out from this level for over a week, with two failed attempts during this timeframe. At the start of the week, the cryptocurrency briefly surged above this level, hitting a seven-month high of $3,941 on Monday. However, the recent market pullback sent Ethereum back inside its local range. During the Wednesday celebrations, ETH’s price suffered 4% drop to the $3,680 area, fueled by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) announcement of its decision to leave interest rates unchanged. Nonetheless, it quickly recovered from the initial market reaction, which saw liquidations worth $212 million in just 60 minutes.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez affirmed that as long as the $3,300 support zone holds, ETH “could be on track for a move to $4,220 and potentially $5,140, based on the MVRV Pricing Bands.” Similarly, market watcher Merlijn The Trader noted that “liquidity is pulling Ethereum like a magnet. ETH is gravitating toward $4,000, the largest wall of resting orders in months. One clean push… and it detonates.” As of this writing, ETH is trading at $3,760, a 5% increase in the weekly timeframe.

As Bitcoin (BTC) continues to trade within its local range, the cryptocurrency eyes a trend continuation, aiming to go on uncharted territory again. Despite the bullish setup, an analyst suggests that investors start to become more cautious as the weeks progress. Related Reading: Injective Targets $25 Amid Crucial Breakout Attempt – New Highs In Sight? Bitcoin Bull Flag To Determine Next Move Since the early July breakout, Bitcoin has been trading within a crucial price range, hitting its latest all-time high during this period. The flagship crypto has been hovering between $114,000-$120,000, retesting the local lows on Friday before recovering the range highs over the weekend. Amid this performance, market watcher Crypto Patel highlighted that BTC is trading inside a bull flag formation in the 4H chart, which could lead to an 8%-12% move once broken out. According to the analysis, if the cryptocurrency successfully breaks above the pattern’s descending resistance, near the $120,000 mark, its price could see a surge toward the $130,000 barrier for the first time. On the contrary, a rejection from this area could send Bitcoin toward the bull flag’s support, around $114,000, once more. The analyst warned that despite the key support’s strength, a breakdown below this level would invalidate the bullish pattern and risk a drop to the $100,000 level or below. In a Monday analysis, analyst Rekt Capital also discussed BTC’s bull flag in the weekly chart. He noted that Bitcoin closed last week above the bull flag top despite the Friday drop, “preparing and positioning itself for a confirmed breakout.” Therefore, the start-of-week pullback could be considered a volatile post-breakout retest if the cryptocurrency closes this week above $119,200. The analyst explained that “price has an entire week to do that; in fact, price could downside wick below the Bull Flag bottom to form a potential Diamond-Shaped candlestick formation in the downside wicks.” “It makes sense why price needs to dip,” he detailed, “it also makes sense for price to dip via the perspective of the newly formed Weekly CME Gap.” BTC’s Rally Running Out Of Time? As Daan Crypto Trades pointed out, BTC opened the week with a new CME Gap between $118,297 and $120,035, which was immediately closed on Monday, as the price retraced to the $117,000 mark. Notably, the flagship crypto has been closing its CME Gaps at the start of the week for the past five weeks, “building quite the streak at this point.” To the trader, “the longer this goes on, the more of a self-fulfilling prophecy it will become.” Rekt Capital also highlighted that Bitcoin has entered Week 4 of its second Price Discovery Uptrend, asserting that if BTC confirms a breakout from the weekly bullish flag, then “trend continuation in Price Discovery Uptrend 2 would be achieved.” Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Rally Might Be Running on Fumes, Analyst Warns of August Turning Point He warned that the second Uptrend could not last much longer. According to the analyst, the trend continuation could fail in the coming weeks, as the cryptocurrency transitions into the Weeks 5-7 of this phase. It’s worth noting that this cycle’s first Price Discovery uptrend lasted around 6-7 weeks before reaching the local top. As a result, he considers it “would be conservative thus to become increasingly cautious as time goes on,” starting to become “cautiously optimistic” from this week on. As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $117,161, a 2.1% decline in the weekly 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

Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun has made the headlines again after its recently launched token, PUMP, plummeted to new lows. The nosedive follows a recent update on the token’s highly anticipated airdrop and its legal troubles. Related Reading: Dogecoin Retests Crucial Support Following 8.6% Drop – Here Are The Levels To Watch PUMP Token Loses $1 Billion MC Just over a week after launch, Pump.fun’s official token has hit a new all-time low (ATL), reaching the $0.0028 area and dropping below the $1 billion market capitalization for the first time since its initial Coin Offering (ICO). Pump.fun was launched in January 2024 to facilitate and simplify the deployment of tokens. The Solana-based platform quickly became the leading memecoin launchpad in the crypto market, fueling this cycle’s memecoin frenzy. According to Dune data, the launchpad has deployed nearly 12 million tokens over the last 18 months and generated a Total Revenue of over $775 million. After announcing its official token in early June, the platform’s PUMP rollout had a bumpy road, as its official X account was suspended mid-month. The token’s public sale was also pushed nearly three weeks from its original June 25 date. Nonetheless, Pump.fun recorded a highly successful sale two weeks ago, raising $600 million in just 12 minutes. Two days after its launch, PUMP surged around 70% from its ICO price, reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $0.0068 on July 16. Since then, investors have seen a 57.9% price drop, with 25% of its decline occurring in the past 24 hours. The violent correction has been partially fueled by the recent update of PUMP’s upcoming airdrop. In the token announcement, Pump.fun stated that an airdrop was “coming soon,” but didn’t offer further details. On Wednesday night, the platform’s co-founder, Alon Cohen, confirmed that there will be a token airdrop but revealed it “is not going to take place in the near future,” which ignited massive backlash from the community and sent the token into its current nosedive. Community Slams Pump.fun Team Several X users have expressed their concerns and discontent with Pump.fun’s team, with some claiming that it is “easily one of the worst charts out right now” as “PUMP is trading like the devs already gave up.” Another user stated that “the way PUMP is performing post-TGE is 100% on the team. Only in crypto you can sell a ‘utility coin’ for $1.3B in cash and a week later no one still has a clue what those utilities even are lol.” Some community members remain hopeful that the cryptocurrency will reverse. Market watcher Bren Trades considers that “The crowd is grave dancing on PUMP. Just like they did with PENGU And we saw how that played out.” He noted that “If you’ve been here for a while, you know these post-launch dump outs are commonplace.” Meanwhile, crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa wrote on X that “joking aside, I actually do think that PUMP bottoms relatively soon. I am expecting some sort of giga crime pump eventually.” Legal Drama Intensifies In January, Burwick Law filed a class-action lawsuit against the platform, alleging it acted as an unregistered securities exchange. According to the original complaint, users have suffered massive losses due to their tokens’ price plunging after the hype died down. On Wednesday, the law firm filed an amended lawsuit in the Southern District of New York against the platform and some of its Solana partners, including Solana Labs, the Solana Foundation, Jito Labs, and the Jito Foundation. Related Reading: Ethereum Ready For $3,800 Reclaim Despite Rejection – Third Time’s The Charm? The new complaint escalates the extent of the allegations, claiming that the defendants have extracted over $5.5 billion from customers through schemes, and seeking rescission of Pump.fun transactions and compensatory damages. As of this writing, PUMP is trading at $0.0028, a 26.6% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Dogecoin (DOGE) has retraced alongside the rest of the market to retest a crucial level as support. Some analysts suggest that holding its current price range would set the stage for reclaiming the next key area. Related Reading: PENGU Leads Top Memecoin List Amid 20% Daily Surge – What’s Behind The Rally? Dogecoin Retests Breakout Levels On Wednesday, Dogecoin momentum saw a momentary pause as Bitcoin and most of the market’s rally slowed down. The leading memecoin has recorded a massive run over the past week, increasing over 25% in the last seven days. At the start of the month, DOGE recovered from the June pullback and climbed to the $0.20 level for the first time since May. After reclaiming this crucial level mid-July, the cryptocurrency consolidated around this area, building a base before resuming its bullish run last Wednesday. Over the weekend, Dogecoin broke out of the $0.23-$0.24 resistance, soaring past the May highs to hit the $0.28 area on Monday. The token near this level on Tuesday, hovering between the $0.26-$0.27 price range. However, today’s pullback saw the memecoin drop approximately 9% in the daily timeframe and retest its breakout level around the $0.23 mark. Despite the correction, crypto analyst Kaleo affirmed that “If you’re not stacking Dogecoin on the retest of this breakout, you’re wrong.” The analyst highlighted that the token is repeating its Q4 2024 performance, when it retested its breakout level as support before starting the explosive rise to its multi-year high of $0.48. Amid the retracement, Ali Martinez also asserted that DOGE is retesting the neckline of its double bottom pattern, situated around the $0.25 mark. To the analyst, “This is a key support zone that could offer a solid entry point before the next leg up.” Notably, he previously suggested that as long as the token holds this area as support, a rally toward the $0.33-$0.40 is likely, adding that the next major resistance barrier is at $0.36. DOGE Weekly And Monthly To Determine Next Move Rekt Capital noted that Dogecoin has successfully retested its multi-year technical uptrend as support, which enabled its rally to the upside. He explained that price is currently “pressing beyond its pre-halving highs,” around the $0.22 level. A monthly close above this area would position Dogecoin price for a post-breakout retest of this level as support in August. The analyst highlighted that DOGE’s Pre-Bitcoin halving levels are confluent with the neckline of the double bottom pattern recorded in the Weekly chart. Rekt Capital explained that “any dips on the Weekly timeframe into the ~$0.22 region would figure a post-breakout retest attempt of the Double Bottom to fully confirm a breakout, whereas on the Monthly any dips would figure as a key technical milestone to finally turn Pre-Halving highs into new support.” Related Reading: Ethereum Price On The Verge: Banks And State Buy To Push ETH Above $5,500? Nonetheless, Dogecoin’s re-challenge of the $0.27 resistance depends on the success of the ongoing retests, as it would signal that this area is weakening as a rejection point and making a reclaim more likely during the next attempt. As of this writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.24, a 54% increase in the monthly 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

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. Related Reading: Bitcoin Back In ‘Retesting Phase’ After Key Level Reclaim – The Calm Before The Storm? 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.

Analyst Reveals $60,000 Target The analyst considers that the cryptocurrency is preparing for a continuation of its rally, targeting the one-week high and resistance of $160. 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.

After achieving its highest weekly close to date, Bitcoin (BTC) is now attempting to confirm two crucial levels as support before continuing its rally to new highs. Some analysts have suggested that the cryptocurrency may be experiencing a “calm before the storm” phase. Related Reading: Brazil’s Central Bank Hacked—$40M In Crypto Washed In Aftermath Bitcoin Set For Key Support Confirmations Bitcoin managed to close above two crucial levels over the past few days, recording its highest weekly close in history. Last week, the flagship crypto positioned itself for a reclaim of its final major weekly resistance around $109,000 after nearing this area for four days. On Sunday, BTC surged above the key barrier and closed the week around the $109,200 mark, also successfully confirming its diagonal daily trendline as support. Now, the cryptocurrency is retesting the final resistance to confirm the breakout. Rekt Capital affirmed that the goal is to turn this resistance into support, as it could push BTC to new all-time highs (ATH). He explained that “given how price barely Weekly Closed above the final Weekly resistance, it offers very little chance for price to cleanly retest this level into support; that is, this retest is likely going to be a volatile one.” Nonetheless, the analyst noted that the cryptocurrency has significant High Timeframe (HTF) support beneath it that “should act as a demand area to springboard price into Price Discovery Uptrend 2 over time.” Notably, Bitcoin reclaimed and held the high zone of its re-accumulation range, around the $104,400 mark, as support over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, June Monthly Closed above the $102,464 level and retested it post-breakout “to enable this current July upside candle,” setting it as a monthly support. Additionally, the $107,244 level also emerged as a crucial area after last month’s close, driving BTC “back to its retesting phase.” BTC To Breakout After The Summer? Rekt Capital considers BTC’s current phase as “the calm before the storm,” adding that “for as long as the post-breakout retest will continue, Bitcoin will continue to be positioned for its second Price Discovery Uptrend.” However, he pointed out that it is currently locked between $104,400 and $111,000 levels so far this month. Daan Crypto Trader warned investors that the upcoming days could be crucial for BTC’s price action this month. He highlighted that Bitcoin has tended to set its monthly high or low within the first 12 days over 80% of the time, before price trends around 20% in the opposite direction. Remarkably, June was an exception after Bitcoin remained relatively stable with only small moves in each direction. Now, the analyst thinks it’s time to be “on the lookout again for any big move up or down within the first 12 days” to potentially determine BTC’s trend for the rest of the month. “For now, there has been little action in July yet,” Daan stated, but added that “technically, we’re still looking perfectly” around the current levels. He asserted that, with the slower pace during the summer, BTC could remain within its current range until a real move up begins at the end of Q3 and start of Q4.

As the market sees a Friday retrace, Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area as support. An analyst suggests that the flagship crypto’s daily close could set the stage for a bullish end of the week despite potential volatility. Related Reading: SUI Prepares For Bullish Flag Breakout Amid $3 Reclaim – Analyst Doubles The Target Bitcoin Breakout To Come ‘Sooner Or Later’ At the start of the new quarter, Bitcoin has retested crucial levels, touching the $105,000 support and $110,000 resistance over the past four days. Amid its Tuesday pullback, the flagship crypto fell to a two-week low but managed to bounce from a crucial range. Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems previously noted that BTC needed a strong rebound from the “most important” support and resistance area, between the $104,000 and $106,000 price levels, explaining that failing to hold this range would open the door for a drop to the range lows around $101,000. On Friday, the analyst highlighted Bitcoin’s price action after holding the key levels, which “provided the perfect entry for a bounce, just as expected.” Following this performance, he asserted that Bitcoin is expanding on its two-month Power of Three (Po3) setup, signaling that potential further expansion is ahead. Nonetheless, he pointed out that the flagship crypto is still trading in a two-month range, suggesting a volatile price action until the price successfully breaks out, which it has attempted to do earlier this week. “Since we are in a range, we are forced to respect the key levels of the range: high, mid, and low,” Sjuul detailed, adding that all eyes are currently on the mid-range, where bulls must step in to confirm the bullish move to the range high. Based on this, the analyst forecasted another move above the $110,00 mark, where “we have left a lot of unfinished business” and “plenty of liquidity lies.” He pointed to a huge cluster near the $111,000 area in BTC’s Liquidity Heatmap, affirming that “price is attracted by liquidity, so I am expecting that level to be visited sooner or later.” BTC Eyes Pivotal Closes After being rejected from the $108,000 at the start of the week, analyst Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin broke out of two 2-week downtrends in the past 40 days but was rejected from the crucial 6-week diagonal downtrend, around the $108,000 mark, during the same timeframe. This week, BTC closed above this resistance twice, and daily closed above the $109,000 mark on Thursday. However, Friday’s pullback saw Bitcoin drop below the crucial level, falling to the $107,245 area. The analyst considers that a key retest of the pattern is in progress. He previously explained that any dipping into the top of Bitcoin’s pattern could “technically be considered additional retesting to further solidify the recently broken black diagonal resistance into new support.” Nonetheless, BTC must close today above the diagonal resistance for a successful retest. “Bitcoin is losing the diagonal for the moment. But if price Daily Closes above the diagonal, then this will have ended as a downside wick as part of a volatile retest. Upcoming Daily Close will be pivotal,” he stated.

Rekt Capital detailed that if BTC closes above this level, it would confirm a break from this major resistance, which would likely unlock a new all-time high (ATH). He concluded that, with the recent weekend volatility, “we won’t know until the very last moment heading into the new Weekly Close whether this level has been flipped into support or not.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

After recovering from the recent pullbacks, SUI is attempting to reclaim a crucial resistance, which could trigger a breakout from its bullish formation. Some analysts believe that the cryptocurrency’s imminent rally could target significantly higher levels. Related Reading: Ethereum Eyes Key Resistance As Price Reclaims $2,550 – Here Are The Levels To Watch SUI Eyes Key Area Reclaim On Thursday, SUI has surged more than 10% from its $2.70 support toward the crucial $3.00 barrier. The cryptocurrency has been attempting to reclaim this area throughout Thursday, hovering between the $2.95 and $3.08 levels. Notably, the altcoin ended its multi-month downtrend after breaking above its descending resistance at the end of March, fueling its rally toward the $4.29 high in May. Since the Q2 breakout, SUI has been trading within the $2.33-$4.10 range. Nonetheless, the June pullbacks, driven by the global geopolitical tensions, sent the token below the $3.00 mid-range support to its local low of $2.22 nearly two weeks ago, before reclaiming the $2.80-$2.90 area. Amid the start-of-month retracement, the altcoin briefly lost its local range, but the Wednesday pump reignited bullish sentiment and potentially set the stage for a rally continuation. Analyst Alex Clay noted that SUI is currently testing the confluence of the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) resistances alongside its bullish flag resistance. According to the chart, the cryptocurrency has been trading within a bullish flag formation since May, and lost the technical indicators throughout the June pullbacks. Now, the indicators and the patterns’ upper boundary sit as resistance around the $3.00-$3.10 area. If the altcoin reclaims these key levels, the analyst considers that a rally to the $5.00 resistance would be “an easy trade.” Is A Breakout To $10 Nearby? Analyst Marcus pointed out that SUI “just snapped back from the 0.786 Fib zone sharp, clean and confident.” He added that the cryptocurrency’s structure held despite the correction, which confirmed a “healthy pullback, not a breakdown.” To the analyst, the current bounce could be the higher low that sets the stage for SUI’s next major move, as “all signs point to a setup that’s not done yet.” Meanwhile, market Watcher Crypto Yhodda affirmed that SUI is “in a big accumulation right now,” pointing to an eight-month triangle formation. According to the analyst, a breakout from this pattern “can help it reach the dream target of $10.” Similarly, Kaleo highlighted SUI’s bounce on its trading pairs against Bitcoin (BTC) and USD. He explained that there are many similarities between the base the altcoin is currently building and the base from the April lows that propelled the token to its local high. The cryptocurrency bounced off the High timeframe (HTF) ascending support line on both occasions, suggesting a massive rally could be ahead. To the analyst, the $10 target is “a magnet.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds Key Level Amid $108,000 Rejection, But Analysts Suggest Caution This Quarter Crypto Batman also highlighted this ascending support, noting that the recent pullback marks the third time the cryptocurrency has bounced from it since August. Following the previous two retests, the token rallied for weeks toward higher levels, signaling that a breakout could be nearby. Additionally, he considers that SUI displays a “solid-looking setup,” as it is trading above the key $2.30-$2.40 area that has served as resistance and support on the weekly chart. As of this writing, SUI trades at $3.09, a 15% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum (ETH) has recently experienced a significant resurgence, reaching a three-week high of $2,600 after a notable spike on Wednesday. This uptick comes at a time when a key company is considering ETH as a potential treasury reserve asset, underscoring renewed interest in the cryptocurrency. Forecasting $7,000 Potential Despite being one of the poorer performers among the top ten cryptocurrencies, with a year-to-date decline of 24%, Ethereum’s recent 6% surge has allowed it to outpace competitors, including Bitcoin (BTC), which is close to its all-time high.  Crypto analyst Alek Carter has also expressed a bullish outlook on Ethereum (ETH), drawing parallels between the current price patterns and those observed in 2020.  Related Reading: Public Firms Snag 131,000 BTC, Surpassing ETFs In Bitcoin Purchases He describes the recent movements in ETH’s chart as reminiscent of the “dead cat bounce” phenomenon—a term used to describe a temporary recovery in price after a significant decline—followed by a final retest before a substantial upward trend. Carter points out that Ethereum underwent a similar trajectory in 2020, where it initially experienced a dip before rebounding sharply to reach a peak of over $3,500.  He believes that the recent completion of what he terms the “final retest” suggests that Ethereum is poised for another significant rally. If the current setup mirrors the previous cycle, Carter anticipates that ETH could potentially reach a new high of $7,000. Bullish Sentiment For Ethereum The bullish sentiment surrounding ETH is further reflected in the performance of stocks associated with the cryptocurrency. BitMine, a Bitcoin mining company that recently announced plans to make ETH its primary treasury reserve, saw its stock soar by about 20%, with an increase of over 1,000% since the announcement.  Similarly, SharpLink Gaming, which has adopted an ETH treasury strategy, experienced an 11% rise, while Bit Digital, which shifted its focus from Bitcoin mining to Ethereum treasury and staking, gained more than 6%. Moreover, the recent interest in ETH is evident in the performance of Ethereum ETFs, which saw inflows of $40 million on Tuesday, led by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust. A Experts also highlight that ETH’s smart contract capabilities have established it as a leading platform for the tokenization of traditional assets, including US dollar-pegged stablecoins.  The ‘Backbone’ Of Stablecoins? Fundstrat’s Tom Lee characterized Ethereum as “the backbone and architecture” of stablecoins, given that issuers like Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) operate on its network. Additionally, BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund, known as BUIDL, launched on Ethereum last year. Tokenization itself represents a transformative process, allowing digital representations of publicly traded securities and real-world assets to be issued on blockchain networks.  While holders of tokenized assets do not possess outright ownership, the mechanism opens up new avenues for investment and asset management.

Ethereum (ETH) has surged 7.5% in the daily timeframe to break above a key resistance level for the first time in weeks. Following its breakout, some analysts forecasted that a retest of the range highs could be around the corner. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds Key Level Amid $108,000 Rejection, But Analysts Suggest Caution This Quarter Ethereum Reclaims Crucial Area On Wednesday, Ethereum jumped over 7% from its local low to the $2,550 mark, setting the stage to reclaim another crucial resistance. The King of Altcoins climbed from the $2,380 support to the $2,585 area, hitting a two-week high. The cryptocurrency has been trading between the $2,400-$2,800 price range since the early May breakout, but briefly lost this area after failing to hold the $2,550 support two weeks ago. After recovering its local range, ETH struggled to break past the $2,500 barrier, trading between the range low and this resistance for a week. Nonetheless, today’s market recovery, which also saw Bitcoin jump to the $109,600 mark, has sparked bullish sentiment among investors. Amid today’s performance, Daan Crypto Trades called ETH’s price action a “nice move out of the local range.” However, he suggested that bulls must hold the $2,520 area to confirm it isn’t another deviation or liquidity grab in a “bigger chop.” To the trader, failing to hold this area would send the cryptocurrency to the range lows again. As a result, the major levels to watch remain the $2,310 support and $2,735 resistance. Market watcher Merlijn The Trader noted that Ethereum has “respected support every single time,” forming “one of the cleanest breakouts we’ve ever seen.” He highlighted a three-month ascending triangle in ETH’s chart, pointing out that the King of Altcoins bounced from the rising support line during the recent price deviation and now targets the next key resistance around the $2,700 mark. Ethereum is charging up. Higher lows, strong base, bullish MACD crossover. A clean break of $2,700… and ETH will fly. $3,000 is just the beginning. The real move comes after that. ETH To Repeat ATH Set Up? Merlijn also affirmed that ETH’s two-year setup is repeating, which could signal that a massive breakout is coming. According to the chart, the Ethereum price has moved in stages that last about two years since 2018. During the first stage, the cryptocurrency’s price forms a base, which later leads to the second stage, where the price rejects and retests the base lows. Lastly, Ethereum experiences the liftoff phase, where the price breaks out to new highs. The last liftoff phase, between 2020 and 2022, saw ETH surge from the $100 mark to its $4,878 all-time high (ATH). To the trader, “This time we start from $1,500. Not a dip. A launchpad.” Similarly, analyst Kaleo pointed out the structural resemblance between ETH’s performance this cycle and last cycle. He noted that, while BTC hit a new ATH in December 2020, Ethereum was 60% down from its previous cycle highs, leading many investors to suggest it was “dead.” Related Reading: Solana Summer Loading? SOL Eyes $180 Following Staked ETF-Fueled Breakout Nonetheless, ETH climbed over 800% from there, outperforming Bitcoin’s 250% increase in the following months. This time, the cryptocurrency has also seen up to a 68% retrace from its previous ATH, while BTC soared to new highs. If history repeats, “The bottom for ETH is in. Up only from here,” the analyst concluded. As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,568, a 6.1% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

As Bitcoin (BTC) experiences another dip, falling 5% below its record high of $111,800 reached during May’s crypto rally, analysts are probing the reasons behind its stagnation in the $100,000 to $110,000 range.  In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), crypto analyst DanteX outlined the factors contributing to this price resistance and what it could mean for the remainder of 2025. What’s Holding Bitcoin Back? Despite the substantial influx of nearly $5 billion in Bitcoin acquired through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in just a few weeks, the price of Bitcoin has failed to surpass the $120,000 target identified by analysts. Public companies, Strategy and GameStop, have joined the ranks of institutional buyers, marking a significant shift in corporate interest toward Bitcoin. This growing demand indicates that there are substantial buyers ready to purchase at prices above $100,000. Related Reading: BitMine Stock Soars 700% After $250 Million Raise For Ethereum Treasury However, DanteX asserts that the market has been characterized by an unusual phenomenon: the analyst alleges that someone appears to be “strategically offloading” Bitcoin in the $100,000 to $110,000 range, effectively absorbing the demand and preventing upward movement.  This selling pressure seems to come from a major player—reportedly hedge funds or early investors—actively liquidating positions to offset the inflow of institutional capital. Market Exhaustion Or Distribution?  As the market enters the latter half of summer, a historically weak period for cryptocurrencies, concerns arise about liquidity and retail interest.  DanteX noted that if the Bitcoin price cannot rally now, amid significant buying and market enthusiasm, the outlook may dim as trading volumes decline.  The analyst further shared that the current price stagnation at near-record highs often indicates either market exhaustion or a distribution phase, suggesting that while demand exists, it is being countered by strategic selling. Despite the overall positive macroeconomic environment—where stock markets are soaring, real yields are declining, and liquidity is increasing—DanteX highlights that the Bitcoin price remains unresponsive.  The analyst stated that it could imply that current holders may not be ready for a breakout or are intentionally limiting potential gains. Interestingly, when Bitcoin price movements stall, capital tends to flow into altcoins, which are often viewed as higher-risk, higher-reward investments.  DanteX believes that the current skepticism surrounding the likelihood of an altcoin season amid the current market condition, could actually set the stage for one, as many investors remain “under-positioned.” Record ETF Inflows Fail To Translate Into Price Gains The role of ETFs cannot be overlooked, DanteX further said. He said that while record inflows into ETFs signal strong institutional interest, they do not always correlate with immediate price increases, especially when met with significant selling pressure.  DanteX notes that much of the exchange-traded fund exposure may be hedged or arbitraged, resulting in a complex market dynamic where asset growth does not immediately reflect in Bitcoin’s spot price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Shopping Spree: Strategy Continues Accumulation With $530M Purchase Looking ahead, the analyst suggests monitoring the activity of large wallets, especially those exhibiting selling patterns that align with recent price suppression.  Watching macroeconomic indicators, such as potential Federal Reserve rate cuts or shifts in the value of the dollar, is also said to be crucial as these factors could influence market sentiment.

Bitcoin (BTC) attempted to reclaim the $108,000 resistance level again but faced rejection as the third quarter (Q3) started, leading some market watchers to suggest caution for the upcoming months. Related Reading: Solana Summer Loading? SOL Eyes $180 Following Staked ETF-Fueled Breakout Bitcoin Holds Crucial Range Bitcoin’s price ended the second quarter with a retest of the $108,000 barrier before being rejected and closing Q2 and June around the $107,140 area, its highest monthly close in history. Despite the positive performance, the flagship crypto started July with a pullback toward the $105,000, hitting a one-week low of $105,623. Analyst Rekt Capital affirmed that this suggested BTC’s post-breakout retest is in progress, which would strengthen the cryptocurrency’s case for another leg up. The analyst previously explained that Bitcoin needed a weekly close above the $104,400 support after losing it, as reclaiming this area would solidify its price recovery and position the cryptocurrency for a retest and confirmation of this level. Additionally, it would continue building its base around this area to transition into BTC’s second Discovery Uptrend. According to the Tuesday analysis, the new weekly close suggests Bitcoin is positioned for another post-breakout retest. The analyst also noted that, in the past 40 days, BTC broke out of two 2-week downtrends but was rejected from the crucial 6-week downtrend, around the $108,000 mark, during the same timeframe. Sjuul from AltCryptoGems noted the rejection from this level, affirming that “it is mandatory for bulls to step in quickly and not allow the price to have too big of a dip.” The flagship crypto needs a “strong bounce from the most important support and resistance level, just at $106-104K,” which it has momentarily held. To the analyst, failing to hold this area would open the door for a bigger pullback, risking a drop to the Macro support between $101,000 and $102,000. He highlighted a big gap between the current support area and the Macro support, which formed on the recent price recovery. BTC Risks Massive Drop In Q3 Sjuul pointed out that below the $101,000 support, “there is not much to defend the price from falling much lower,” adding that the “historical quarterly return of BTC for Q3 has not been great, so this adds some extra caution to the picture we have taken from the chart.” Similarly, Daan Crypto Trades asserted that historical data shows that Q3 is generally the slowest period for Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) due to the decreasing activity, volume, and liquidity during the summer months. He added that, as a new quarter and month begin, BTC will likely see a “choppy start,” but Bitcoin is still consolidating within its current range and descending channel, suggesting that investors should give it time to “play out and watch for confirmations” of the direction it will take for the rest of the month. Related Reading: BitMine Stock Soars 700% After $250 Million Raise For Ethereum Treasury Nonetheless, analyst Ali Martinez gave a warning signal, as an indicator that had predicted “every major Bitcoin crash” has just appeared. Per Martinez, the Tom Demark Sequential indicator, a rare warning that has historically preceded violent pullbacks, flashed a sell signal in the quarterly timeframe. Notably, the same signal appeared in 2015 and 2018, with BTC retracing over 75% and 85% after the indicator flashed. If it follows its historical performance, the analyst forecasted that BTC could drop to the $40,000 mark this quarter. As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $105,901, a 1.16% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Solana (SOL) has retested a crucial resistance level after recovering the $150 level over the weekend. The surge, fueled by the upcoming launch of a SOL-based staked exchange-traded fund (ETF), has led some analysts to forecast a rally toward the next key target. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price At $145,000 In September? Bullish Dojis Suggest Upward Move Solana Staked ETFs Coming On Wednesday On Monday, Solana’s price soared to a key resistance level following the introduction of “the first-ever Solana staked crypto ETF in the US.” Rex Shares announced it will launch a Solana-based staked ETF this Wednesday, aiming to offer exposure to SOL and staking rewards. According to the X post, the REX-Osprey ETF will track SOL’s performance while “generating yield through on-chain staking,” starting a “new era of yield-generating crypto exposure.” As a result, Solana climbed to the $160 barrier, which led to nearly $9 million in short positions liquidated on Monday afternoon. Market Watcher Daan Crypto Trades considers Solana “bounced nicely over the weekend” but has yet to turn the Low Timeframe (LTF) trend around. He explained that reclaiming the $159-$167 area is necessary to aim for higher levels. Additionally, the Daily 200-day Moving Average (MA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) are currently located within this range. “I would want to see price trade back above that to start targeting the $180-$200 region again,” he detailed. Nonetheless, the trader questioned whether a Solana spot ETF-driven rally will fuel the cryptocurrency’s run. Notably, multiple investment firms, including Grayscale, VanEck, 21Shares, and Bitwise, have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a spot SOL ETF in the US. According to recent reports, the investment products have a “high likelihood” of being approved in the coming weeks, which has seemingly fueled investors’ expectations of a bullish “Solana Summer.” “The big question is how much demand there will be,” Daan asserted, noting that Ethereum (ETH) sport ETFs, approved in July 2024, had a disappointing launch and “only started seeing decent inflows about a year later.” SOL Ready For Another Breakout? Following the ETF-fueled breakout, analyst Hardy noted Solana’s “Textbook move, clean breakout, clean retest, and pump,” which could trigger a run toward the $200 barrier. Notably, the cryptocurrency saw a remarkable performance over the weekend, reclaiming the $144-$148 crucial area and breaking past the $150 mark. Amid this performance, the analyst highlighted that Solana had broken out of its local downtrend line after reclaiming the $148 resistance and was retesting the breakout zone. He explained that there is “Juicy liquidity sitting above, ready to be taken,” adding that Solana needed to hold the $150 support to continue its bullish run toward the next target. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals Rational Behind XRP Price Reaching $9.5 And $37.5 Meanwhile, analyst Crypto Batman considers that Solana is “setting up very nicely” after the $160 retest. Per the post, “It has broken out from a bullish flag pattern that bottomed at the 0.618 Fibonacci level, a clear sign of impulsive strength in the trend.” It’s worth noting that SOL has been trading within the bullish formation since the May breakout, hovering between the $130 and $180 range for nearly two months. The analyst forecasted that a quick retest to close the bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) and the pattern’s upper boundary, around the $148 area, “could set the stage for the next leg.” As of this writing, Solana is trading at $155, a 2% increase in the daily timeframe.

The Bitcoin price has recently climbed back above the $108,000 mark, yet it struggles to surpass its current record of $111,800, creating a sense of uncertainty in the market.  This persistent inability to break through has characterized the cryptocurrency’s performance in recent weeks, leaving analysts to speculate on its next moves. Analyst Predicts Major Upswing  Crypto analyst Doctor Profit has outlined two potential scenarios for the Bitcoin price trajectory in the near term, offering insights into both immediate volatility and a long-term bullish outlook.  In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Doctor Profit emphasized the significance of the current market conditions, suggesting that Bitcoin could reach between $120,000 and $150,000 in the coming months. Related Reading: Dogecoin Silent Build-Up: Double Bottom Hints At Explosive Move To $0.47 According to Doctor Profit, the market is poised for a breakout. He noted, “We’re standing in front of a breakout, one that has the potential to send Bitcoin into the $120,000–$150,000 zone over the next few months.”  This assertion is supported by data reflecting strong on-chain activity, favorable technical structures, liquidity flow, and macroeconomic factors. While the long-term outlook appears promising, he cautioned that short-term fluctuations will remain prevalent. Two Scenarios For The Bitcoin Price Doctor Profit outlined two primary outcomes that traders should consider. The first scenario involves a bullish breakout from a bull flag pattern, allowing Bitcoin to surge past the $113,000 resistance level and continue climbing without a pullback.  However, the analyst views this scenario as overly simplistic, suggesting that market makers typically prefer not to allow such parabolic moves to occur without a preceding shakeout. The second scenario, which appears more likely, involves either a rejection at the bull flag breakout or a liquidity grab at the $113,000 mark. This would potentially lead Bitcoin to revisit the lower boundary of the current range, around $90,000 to $93,000.  Doctor Profit noted that this region is attractive because it contains significant liquidity and a notable gap in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) futures market. He views a dip to these levels not as a bearish signal, but rather as an opportunity to accumulate more Bitcoin. In his analysis, he stated, “$93K is not bearish. It’s clearly a gift!.” Doctor Profit believes that this potential dip would not only reset market leverage but also shake out weaker hands, creating a more robust foundation for a subsequent rally. Macroeconomic Trends Favor BTC Looking at the long-term prospects, Doctor Profit highlighted that larger wallets continue to accumulate Bitcoin, indicating that major investors are positioning themselves for a significant upward movement.  He pointed to macroeconomic indicators, particularly the M2 money supply, which suggests that Bitcoin remains undervalued relative to broader economic trends.  Related Reading: TD Sequential Flashes Buy: Dogecoin Ready For Rebound To $0.21 Notably, the Bitcoin price has been trading within its current range for 226 days, which echoes patterns observed during previous accumulation phases before major price breakouts. As Doctor Profit concluded, the Bitcoin price trajectory remains optimistic, with expectations of reaching between $120,000 and $150,000 in the foreseeable future.  He notes that while there are multiple paths to achieving this target, a dip into the $90,000 to $93,000 range would provide a crucial opportunity for accumulation and set the stage for a powerful upward move.

After breaking out of a bullish formation, SEI is attempting to reclaim a crucial level to continue its rally. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is preparing for another massive rally toward the $0.50 resistance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Next Price Discovery Coming? Analyst Shares BTC’s 2025 Roadmap SEI Leads Crypto Market As the market recovers from the recent pullback, SEI has soared from its local low and broken out of crucial levels. Earlier this week, the cryptocurrency pulled a nearly 100% rally from its 16% drop. Notably, SEI’s price followed the rest of the market last week and retested the $0.15 level, a support not seen since early April. Over the weekend, the altcoin recovered the crucial $0.20 area before jumping nearly 70% at the start of the week. Since then, the token has been hovering between $0.24 and $0.29, attempting to break out of the $0.30 resistance on Friday morning. Following this performance, analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems named SEI the “Bull of the week,” highlighting the cryptocurrency’s “beast mode” fueled by “the record on-chain activity of the token that has brought in new investors and whales” to the network after the breakout. Notably, the cryptocurrency is leading the top 100 cryptocurrencies list with a 43% weekly surge, surpassing the performance of market leaders Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Crypto Raven noted that SEI “has done a great job of breaking out as the market is looking very fresh right now,” suggesting the cryptocurrency could rally another 70%. Per the post, “if the market supports a bit more, we can very well reach $.5 from here. Back to the glory days of SEI.”   Nonetheless, the market watcher considers that the altcoin could consolidate around the current area for a short period before continuing its rally toward the Q4 2024 levels. $0.28 Reclaim Needed For Bullish Continuation Analyst Nebraskangooner highlighted a four-month inverse Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern on SEI’s chart, noting that it was confirmed after this week’s breakout. The cryptocurrency broke out of the formation’s neckline after Wednesday’s price action, pointing out that “anything down to key support would be a solid retest spot.” After the retracement to the $0.27 area, the cryptocurrency retested the neckline, which SEI must hold for bullish continuation. Notably, SEI’s price has held this level despite closing around the $0.25 mark on Thursday. Similarly, Michaël van de Poppe affirmed that SEI will likely continue to rally as a “massive” bullish divergence on its trading pair against Bitcoin suggests that the cryptocurrency’s price is reversing. Based on this, the analyst forecasted that investors could “see 300+ sats soon.” Related Reading: Solana Price At ‘A Very Delicate Level’ – Analyst Says $148 Reclaim Is Key Meanwhile, market watcher The Wyckoff Architect shared a Low Time Frame (LTF) analysis on SEI’s price action. To the analyst, a reclaim of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) at $0.285 will confirm bullish continuation, with the cryptocurrency consolidating before breaking out. On the contrary, failing to reclaim and hold this area would trigger a bear scenario and risk a drop to a new local low. As of this writing, SEI is trading at $0.28, a 12% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price experienced a significant decline on Thursday following new developments in the ongoing legal dispute between Ripple Labs and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Judge Analisa Torres’ decision to deny the joint motion from Ripple and the SEC for an indicative ruling halted the XRP price recovery as it aimed to breach the nearest resistance level at $2.23. Key Issues Unresolved For Ripple Despite the SEC dropping its appeal, which indicated that the primary legal conflict between the two parties may be reaching a conclusion, Judge Torres’ ruling highlighted that several procedural matters still require resolution, including necessary court approvals.  In her judgment, she made it clear that private agreements cannot supersede public court decisions, stating, “The parties do not have the authority to agree not to be bound by a court’s final judgment… They have not come close to doing so here.” Related Reading: XRP Gears Up For Major Move — Chart Signals Are Clear In response to the ruling, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to convey that the situation is now back in Ripple’s hands.  The executive pointed out that the court has given them two options: either to dismiss their appeal regarding the historic institutional sales or to continue with the appeal.  Regardless of the path chosen, Alderoty emphasized that XRP’s legal status as a non-security remains intact, reassuring stakeholders that it is business as usual. Expert Reactions To Torres’ Decision Legal expert Fred Rispoli also weighed in on the implications of the injunction, stating that it would not impact XRP in secondary markets or affect potential exchange-traded fund (ETF) filings awaiting approval by the SEC.  He noted that the injunction is merely a court document and emphasized the low likelihood of Judge Torres calling Ripple and the SEC back into court unless the SEC believes Ripple is violating the terms of the injunction.  Rispoli further questioned whether the SEC has the authority to grant Ripple the necessary exemptions to alleviate any restrictions imposed by the injunction, suggesting that such actions fall within the SEC’s executive powers. Ripple has asserted that it has adjusted its operations to align with the court’s findings, particularly regarding its past sales to institutional investors.  Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Top In? Bitcoin MVRV-Score Has The Answer Alderoty’s use of the term “historic institutional sales” in his recent statement indicates a shift in how both parties might approach future transactions, signaling a potential settlement that would allow XRP sales to institutions in a manner acceptable to the SEC. XRP Price Could Reach $5 Despite this temporary setback, market analysts remain optimistic about XRP’s future. Crypto analyst CryptoBullet recently noted that XRP’s two-week price chart resembles patterns seen in 2017, including a significant accumulation phase and a potential breakout.  With this historical context in mind, the expert predicts a final surge in the XRP price, forecasting new all-time high targets between $4.50 and $5.40 for the cryptocurrency. As of press time, the XRP price has retreated to the $2.08 mark, which is a key support level for bulls anticipating further recovery of the token. In the last 24 hours, XRP has dropped 4.4%, and 10% in the last month. According to CoinGecko data, the XRP price remains 38% below its record high of $3.40.

This week, Bitcoin (BTC) has recovered from its recent drop below the $100,000 level and is attempting to turn the crucial $108,000 resistance into support for the fourth time. As we approach the second half of 2025, a market watcher has shared his forecast for BTC. Related Reading: Solana Price At ‘A Very Delicate Level’ – Analyst Says $148 Reclaim Is Key Bitcoin Sees Transitional Period On Thursday, analyst Rekt Capital shared a roadmap for BTC for the rest of the year. He noted that this cycle has been “truly a cycle of re-accumulation ranges,” explaining that these have formed throughout the cycle since the end of 2022 and evolved since the Bitcoin Halving last year. In the pre-having period, BTC registered brief price deviations with downside wicks below the re-accumulation range lows in the weekly chart. Meanwhile, the post-halving period has seen Bitcoin deviations occur with multi-week clusters of full-bodied candles below the range lows. For instance, after its first price discovery uptrend, which lasted around seven weeks, BTC moved within its re-accumulation range for about ten weeks. Then, it transitioned into the first Price Discovery Correction, recording a nine-week downside deviation below the range lows before breaking out and rallying past the range highs toward a new ATH last month. Its past performances suggested that BTC was ready to enter its second Price Discovery Uptrend. But as Rekt Capital detailed, a transitional period has occurred for the first time, with price consolidating around the re-accumulation range high area. According to the analyst, this is “perhaps the first time that we’re seeing a deviation occur below the range high,” making this area a crucial level to transition into a new uptrend. We never really had to pull back substantially, maybe, until that final corrective period, which would last multiple months, but each re-accumulation range would see quite a bit of upside, and that upside would be very quick and no real post-breakout retesting, no real pausing. What we’re seeing here is something very, very different. Weekly Close Key For BTC’s Future Based on its new transition period, the key level for Bitcoin to reclaim in the weekly timeframe is the $104,400 support, which it held for nearly seven weeks before the recent pullbacks. This level was lost after BTC closed last week below it and “should not become a resistance level.” To the analyst, it’s key that this week’s close solidifies the price recovery as it would position the cryptocurrency for a retest and confirmation of $104,400 as support and continue the build the base around this area to transition into the next multi-week Price Discovery Uptrend. Rekt Capital added that the timeline for BTC’s next uptrend will depend on the length of the new transitional period. However, he believes that it will take “a bit longer” to break out.

Nonetheless, the analyst affirmed that it’s crucial that the next corrective period, which could see Bitcoin drop between 25% to 33%, is short to potentially enjoy a third Price Discovery Uptrend before the bear market. As of this writing, BTC is trading at $107,555, a 3.2% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Despite recovering from the weekend retrace, Solana (SOL) is trading between two levels that could make or break the altcoin’s rally. Nonetheless, some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency could be gearing up for a massive breakout beyond the local highs. Related Reading: Injective Prepares For Bullish Reversal Amid 25% Recovery – Analyst Forecasts Massive Breakout Solana Sits At Decisive Level On Wednesday, Solana fell to the $143 mark after failing to reclaim a crucial area lost over a week ago. Following the May breakout, the cryptocurrency hovered between the $148-$184 price range, hitting a four-month high of $187 at the end of last month. However, the June market pullback saw SOL lose its range and move toward the $144-$148 levels. This area was briefly lost during the weekend retrace, with Solana falling to the $125 support level before recovering. Over the past three days, the altcoin has surged nearly 15%, touching the $148 barrier on Wednesday morning, which has been one of the key levels since May. After recovering from the recent drop, SOL has attempted to reclaim this level, but was rejected once again. Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems highlighted that Solana “just completed a very nice V-shaped recovery from the low,” but noted that the cryptocurrency is at a “very delicate level” as it trades within the $144-$148 zone. He suggested that investors should pay attention to this area, as a reclaim of the $148 resistance could propel the price to a “quick move to the upside.” On the contrary, rejection from this level and losing the $144 range low could signal that the recent price action was a bearish retest. Analyst Man of Bitcoin affirmed that a “sustained break above the resistance zone would be the first signal that the chart has formed a low. He detailed that a confirmed break above the $148 resistance would support the case for a reversal. Nonetheless, he warned that a potential scenario “with one more low in wave-5.” SOL Ready For A Rally Continuation? As price hovers between the $143-$144 levels, market watcher Altcoin Hunter considers that SOL is “dancing with the devil.” He pointed out that the cryptocurrency has been trading within a one-month falling wedge, with the $148-$150 rejection zone “coming in HOT.” Per the post, failing to break out will send Solana “back to the shadow realm,” but “given how easily market sentiment shot up, Valhalla is likely.” Meanwhile, trader Rose Premium Signals stated that the cryptocurrency is “preparing for a strong breakout” from its one-month falling wedge pattern. Related Reading: Cardano Headed For $0.32 If This Level Isn’t Reclaimed – Is ADA’s Rally Over? The market watcher that Solana bounced from the crucial $125-$130 demand zone, which is in confluence with the 0.618 Fib level. Notably, the altcoin held above this area on the weekly timeframe despite the pullback. According to the trader, a breakout from the formation could trigger a “sharp move upward” toward the initial $204 target, potentially followed by a surge toward the $229 and $258 areas. As of this writing, Solana is trading at $143, a 1.3% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing heightened volatility, particularly with Bitcoin (BTC) fluctuating dramatically. Recently, the price dipped below $99,000 before rebounding to over $106,000 within a span of just 24 hours. Bullish Bitcoin Setup Amid Geopolitical Tensions In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), analyst Cyclop suggested that despite the current market conditions, BTC exhibits a bullish setup reminiscent of the patterns seen in March 2020.  The analyst noted that Bitcoin appears to be mirroring its past movements, with a brief dip followed by a rally for both BTC and altcoins. Cyclop drew parallels between the ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Israel, Iran, and the US and the market dynamics observed during the COVID-19 crash.  Related Reading: Dogecoin About To Explode? ‘Don’t Send It Too Hard,’ Analyst Warns While acknowledging that geopolitical strife and global market panic are distinct issues, he pointed out that both scenarios resulted in sharp but temporary sell-offs followed by swift recoveries. According to Cyclop, the current market setup displays similar characteristics: widespread fear, a risk-off sentiment among investors, and global uncertainty.  He emphasized the importance of understanding the timing of resolution to these tensions, suggesting that for a robust rally, several bullish catalysts are necessary to alleviate market uncertainty. He identified three key factors: potential interest rate cuts, a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, and Bitcoin holding crucial support levels. $120,000 By Year-End? Recently, a ceasefire was declared following 12 days of intense conflict between Iran and Israel. In a notable public statement, President Donald Trump criticized both nations, suggesting that their actions were misguided.  This period of relative calm is seen as a positive indicator for the market. Cyclop highlighted that maintaining the $100,000 level for Bitcoin was crucial, and the cryptocurrency has successfully broken through the $106,000 barrier, signaling further growth. Furthermore, Ethereum (ETH) has also shown signs of a quick recovery alongside Bitcoin with its price nearing the key $2,500 level. Cyclop advised investors not to attempt to time the market perfectly, as reversals can often feel unsettling and uncertain.  Related Reading: Ethereum Bounces Hard After Support Bluff, A False Alarm Or Fresh Rally? Looking ahead, Cyclop anticipates a consolidation phase for Bitcoin within the $102,000 to $106,000 range, with expectations of a breakout that could push BTC to an all-time high of around $120,000 by November or December of this year.  As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $106,500 per coin. Despite ongoing economic uncertainties, the market’s leading cryptocurrency has seen a 75% increase year-to-date. However, Bitcoin is still trading nearly 5% below its record high of $111,800, which was reached on May 23. The most important resistance level is $110,200, which has prevented a new price discovery phase for Bitcoin on two occasions. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

Injective (INJ) is leading the crypto market with a 26% recovery from the recent lows, suggesting a “strong” rally could be around the corner. Some analysts forecast further upside for the token if it reclaims a key price area. Related Reading: Cardano Headed For $0.32 If This Level Isn’t Reclaimed – Is ADA’s Rally Over? Injective Sees Strong Daily Move On Tuesday, Injective saw a massive recovery from its recent drop to the $9 mark, and it’s attempting to reclaim a crucial resistance level. The cryptocurrency has been in a downtrend this month, driven by the increasing global geopolitical tensions. Since hitting its December high of $35.26, INJ has retraced over 65%, dropping below the $10 support multiple times during the 2025 retraces. However, the April-May rally saw the cryptocurrency break out of its multi-month downtrend and climb to its $10-$15 local price range. Following Monday night’s news of a potential ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Injective, alongside the rest of the market, reclaimed some of its recently lost levels, surging to the $11 area on Tuesday morning and nearing a crucial resistance. Notably, INJ recorded a 26% rally intraday to hit the $12.02 mark, becoming one of the leading tokens during the crypto market’s rebound. Analyst Crypto Rand noted that the cryptocurrency is now pushing over the June downtrend resistance following its price recovery, suggesting an explosive surge. According to the post, a breakout above the $12 resistance range would “trigger the bull reversal,” which could propel Injective’s price toward the local range high resistance around the $15 mark. Meanwhile, Crypto Busy highlighted that the cryptocurrency “just delivered one of the strongest moves in today’s altcoin rally” in “just a few candles” after bouncing from the $9 support zone. The analyst added that INJ continues to be “one of the most responsive altcoins when Bitcoin bounces,” forecasting potentially more bullish price action driven by the Injective Summit 2025, scheduled for June 26. INJ Ready For Massive Rally? Market watcher Clinton highlighted that INJ just completed its retest of its multi-month descending broadening wedge. According to the post, Injective bounced from the pattern’s resistance level, confirming the May breakout in the daily timeframe. This could set the cryptocurrency’s price for a 100%-150% “massive bullish rally” toward the $23-$30 levels if price holds the $11.5-$11.6 support zone, which served as a key area over the past two months. Additionally, analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems affirmed that Injective is forming a “very clear” Power of Three (Po3) setup since the May Breakout. In this pattern, a cryptocurrency’s price cycle is divided into three phases: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. The first phase sees a token’s price consolidate near the recent high after a strong performance. This is followed by the price falling below the accumulation phase support level, trading within a range below the recently lost zone. Related Reading: Bitcoin Buy-Side Pressure Surges: Taker Buy Volume Spikes Sharply Lastly, a strong price breakout occurs in the third phase, with momentum building as participants enter the market. Based on this, Injective has entered the distribution phase, which is expected to lead to a “nice expansion” toward the $16 local resistance, “as long as we don’t find acceptance back below support.” As of this writing, Injective is trading at $11.64, a 3% increase in the daily timeframe.

Amid the market performance, BNB is attempting to reclaim the $650 level. Some analysts believe that a breakout toward the $700 barrier might occur next, which could lead to a bigger move to new highs. Related Reading: Solana Correction About To End? Analyst Forecasts $130 Retest Before Next Wave Up BNB Breakout To Retest $700 On Friday, BNB dropped to the $640 support after failing to hold the mid-zone of its local price range. The cryptocurrency has been trading within the $630-$690 price range following its reclaim of the $600 barrier last month. During the May breakout, BNB neared the crucial $700 resistance level, hitting a four-month high of $697. This key level propelled the altcoin’s price toward its $788 all-time high (ATH) after being broken in late 2024 and was lost during the early 2025 pullbacks. Now, the cryptocurrency is eyeing a reclaim of this area as support to continue its price recovery. Analyst Carl Runefelt from The Moon Show noted that BNB displays a one-month descending triangle pattern on the daily timeframe, with price compressing between the support and resistance levels. According to the chart, the formation’s support sits around the $635 level, while the descending resistance sits around the $650 area. To Runefelt, a bullish breakout from this pattern could propel the token 10% toward the $700 resistance. Notably, reclaiming and confirming this key area as support could also send BNB’s price toward another crucial horizontal level. Analyst Crypto Batman recently highlighted that BNB is forming a multi-month ascending triangle, “holding strong” near the ascending trendline after continuing to bounce from the $635-$640 support zone. To the market watcher, “Even with market uncertainty, BNB structure is clean after respecting the trendline and bouncing off major support, now eyeing a breakout above $700,” which could be part of a bigger move toward the $800 level. Is A Move To $800 Coming? Crypto Batman also noted that the cryptocurrency could be following the same price action as last year. He asserted that the altcoin’s price “loves testing key zones before liftoff,” adding that it is displaying the same base form as it did in Q3 2024. Last year, the token formed a three-month base around the $460-$470 area, which led to an “explosive” run over the next few months. This year, BNB formed a similar base near the $550 level, and it’s “showing strength again.” To the analyst, “If the pattern repeats, then patience will give us profits.” Additionally, he pointed out that despite the early April retraces, BNB held its macro range, trading above the range lows and multi-time-tested support. Related Reading: SUI Preparing For New Highs As Falling Wedge Breakout Targets $5 The cryptocurrency is now consolidating near the mid-zone, which could propel the price to a retest of the macro range highs around the $729 mark. He explained that “If we see a breakout above the $729 resistance, it could open the path toward a 50% move to the upside.” The analyst affirmed that BNB’s structure remains bullish as long as the cryptocurrency holds the $490-$500 levels, adding that the $600 mark is also a strong support. As of this writing, BNB is trading at $641, a 2.9% decline in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Amid the geopolitical turmoil, Solana (SOL) has retraced 10% in the past week. Some analysts believe that the altcoin’s correction is about to end, but warned that a dip below a key support level might come first. Related Reading: SUI Preparing For New Highs As Falling Wedge Breakout Targets $5 Solana Eyes Key Retest Before Breakout After retesting the $168 resistance last Wednesday, Solana has fallen back to a key level fueled by the recent market pullback. The cryptocurrency has seen a 15% retracement from its monthly highs, trading around the $140 zone for the past three days. SOL has been hovering between the $145-$180 price range since its May breakout, falling to the range lows during the June market shakeouts. Since then, the altcoin has struggled to reclaim the $160-$170 mid-zone. Nonetheless, market watcher Lluciano considers that Solana “may dip a bit more, but the ultimate target is seriously huge.” The analyst highlighted SOL’s performance since April, noting that it ended its multi-month downtrend after breaking above its descending resistance at the end of March. After this price action, SOL retested the $100-$120 demand zone before breaking out to its current range in the following weeks. Now, the altcoin’s chart displays a one-month falling wedge pattern, with the upper boundary sitting around the $155-$160 area. To the analyst, a breakout from this pattern could send the cryptocurrency toward May’s $187 high resistance before propelling the price to retest the $240 mark. Similarly, trader Rose noted that SOL has been consolidating above the key $145 resistance and 50-day Moving Average (MA), signaling a potential breakout. “If confirmed, the price could rise toward targets at $165, $183, and $220,” they suggested. SOL To Underperform In Coming Months? Market watcher Crypto Bullet suggested that Solana’s correction is coming to an end. The analyst forecasted that SOL could soon lose its current range and retest the April consolidation range, around the $125-$135 area, to complete the correction. This would be followed by a bounce back into the current range before surging past the $200 barrier toward the $220-$250 targets, for “one more wave up” this cycle. Meanwhile, Altcoin Sherpa affirmed Solana won’t outperform like it did during the first half of the cycle. According to the analyst, the cryptocurrency won’t outperform Bitcoin (BTC) on any long-term timeframe “other than a few blips here and there.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Setting Up For ‘Large Move’ Amid $103,000 Retest – Key Levels To Watch He explained that the cycle’s leading altcoin isn’t “dead,” but that he doesn’t “see it having a run like it did in 2021/2024.” Notably, SOL is currently retesting its late November 2023 support levels against BTC, which previously sent it to yearly lows after failing to hold them. Altcoin Sherpa concluded that Solana will likely continue to climb against its USDT pair but continue to bleed in its SOL/BTC chart. As of this writing, Solana is trading at $145, a 12.1% decline in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

After falling below the key $3.00 mark, SUI now retests a make-or-break level that could ignite or stall the cryptocurrency’s rally. However, some market watchers believe that the altcoin is preparing for new highs despite the recent pullback. Related Reading: Bitcoin Setting Up For ‘Large Move’ Amid $103,000 Retest – Key Levels To Watch SUI Eyes Breakout To $5 This week, SUI fell below the $3.00 mark amid the Israel-Iran news-fueled market retrace. The cryptocurrency has seen a 7% decline over the past three days, hitting a two-month low of $2.68 on Wednesday morning before recovering. Since its late April breakout, SUI has been trading within the $2.33-$4.10 range, with the price hovering around the upper boundary over the past two months. Notably, the altcoin ended its multi-month downtrend after breaking above its descending resistance at the end of March, leading to its rally to the $4.00 mark. On Wednesday, analyst Crypto Bullet suggested that it could be preparing for a similar performance. According to the post, SUI broke down a falling wedge pattern before bouncing off the yearly Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Moving Average (MA) between March and April, which propelled the downtrend breakout and rally to its May high. Now, the cryptocurrency is testing the EMA and MA again, while printing a new falling wedge pattern that targets the $5.00-$5.50 area. To Crypto Bullet, “This is where SUI is gonna establish a Higher Low and soon rise to a New ATH.” Earlier this month, the analyst also highlighted a one-year rising wedge pattern that eyes the $8-$10 levels as the next major target for the cryptocurrency. The high-timeframe chart shows the altcoin has been hovering between the pattern’s upper and lower boundaries since early 2024. Amid its April price action, the cryptocurrency bounced from the pattern’s support, suggesting that a surge to the resistance line will come in the coming months if history repeats. Make-Or-Break Level Retest Meanwhile, trader Coinvo noted that SUI is currently retesting a make-or-break level, the key $2.80 area, which acted as support and weak resistance earlier this year. Holding this level is crucial for the cryptocurrency’s rally, as a drop could send the price toward the $2.33 range low and risk a potential retest of the $2.00 support. On the contrary, price stability in this area could propel a reclaim of the $3.00 barrier and a recovery of the range highs, which is necessary for a bullish rally continuation. As analyst Rekt Capital previously warned, June’s performance will be decisive for its mid-term action. Related Reading: Ethereum Eyes Big Move As Price Compresses Between Key Levels – $2,100 Or $4,000 Next? It’s worth noting that SUI has built a re-accumulation range around the same levels as it did in late 2024. At the time, it consolidated around the $3.39-$3.78 levels for weeks before Weekly Closing above the range and setting up for its all-time high (ATH) breakout. This time, the cryptocurrency has been consolidating less cleanly than last year, failing to secure a weekly close inside the range for two consecutive weeks. SUI must reclaim the $3.39 area in the coming weeks to maintain its Monthly Bull Flag and position itself for higher levels. As of this writing, SUI is trading at $2.79, a 3.3% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

As geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to impact cryptocurrency prices, with Bitcoin (BTC) recently dipping below the $105,000 mark, market analyst VirtualBacon has shared insights suggesting that altcoins are gearing up for a potentially robust summer.  Emerging AI Memecoins In a recent update on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), he highlighted several promising developments within the altcoin space. VirtualBacon pointed to an emerging wave of AI-focused Layer-1 blockchain projects, many backed by prominent figures in both the cryptocurrency and traditional finance sectors.  He mentioned several names to watch, including Sahara Labs, Sentient AGI, and Gaianet, among others. While these projects have yet to release tokens, many are expected to conduct airdrops or early access rounds, presenting opportunities for early investors. Related Reading: On-Chain Analyst Warns: Bitcoin Peak Expected, Altcoins Facing -95% Plunge For those seeking “higher-risk, high-reward investments,” VirtualBacon noted the impressive performance of artificial intelligence (AI) agent memecoins. He cited the launch of IRIS, which skyrocketed from a $220,000 fully diluted valuation (FDV) to $120 million, representing a 600x return.  Platforms such as Virtuals, CreatorBid, and SeedifyFund are turning user engagement into allocation opportunities, likening this phenomenon to a form of airdrop farming on steroids. In addition, VirtualBacon highlighted a relatively overlooked area: Bittensor subnet tokens. He mentioned that seasoned investors can now acquire early-stage subnets directly on Bittensor’s chain, with projects like SN65_TPN and inference_labs raising capital through token auctions at valuations below $4 million. Stablecoins Take Center Stage Turning to real-world assets (RWAs), VirtualBacon advised focusing on mid-cap infrastructure projects with tangible revenue streams. He pointed to CHEX and CPOOL, which has shown consistent upward movement, as examples of promising investments. Another emerging narrative is the merger and acquisition activity involving public companies and crypto projects. VirtualBacon noted that Tron is set to go public through a Nasdaq reverse merger, while Mixie has been acquired by Netcapital, which boasts a team that includes notable figures like Tim Draper and a co-founder of Helium.  A particularly intriguing development is World Liberty Financial (WLF), co-founded by Eric and Donald Jr. Trump, which aims to become a major player in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.  With plans for its own stablecoin, USD1, and expected to launch in October, the token could have an estimated FDV of $10–15 billion, a conservative projection given its potential. VirtualBacon also pointed out that stablecoins are becoming central to macroeconomic strategies. Tether now ranks as the fifth-largest holder of US Treasuries, highlighting the increasing need for buyers in the market.  The analyst urged investors to keep an eye on stablecoin projects that integrate artificial intelligence technology and yield generation, such as USD1, Circle’s USDC, and others.

Crypto analyst Cyclop has made a potentially significant statement, claiming that the ongoing crisis between Israel and Iran may inadvertently boost the performance of digital assets.  Despite recent volatility, which saw a sell-off of approximately $140 billion in the crypto market, Cyclop’s long-term analysis reveals a more optimistic outlook for the broader digital asset industry. Analyst Predicts Bullish Trends For Crypto Amid Conflicts In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Cyclop pointed to historical patterns that suggest geopolitical tensions often lead to bullish trends in cryptocurrency.  Citing specific instances from April and October 2024, he noted that Bitcoin (BTC) experienced an initial decline of 18% and 10% respectively during these conflicts, only to rebound with impressive gains of 28% and 62% shortly thereafter.  This trend, he argues, indicates a recurring cycle where war-related dips in crypto prices eventually transform into significant growth, as can be depicted in the chart below shared by Cyclop.

Increasingly, digital currencies are being viewed as a form of “digital gold,” a safe haven in tumultuous times. Favorable Macroeconomic Factors The current market dynamics echo previous events, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and US-Iran tensions in 2020, which similarly resulted in temporary dips followed by recoveries. Cyclop remains confident that the present situation will yield similar outcomes, despite the typical summer slowdown that often affects market activity. Supporting this bullish sentiment are favorable macroeconomic factors. Recent developments indicate that the US and China have reached a compromise, easing tariffs and aiming to stabilize global supply chains. This move is expected to help cool inflation and restore investor confidence.  Moreover, President Donald Trump’s decision to delay new tariffs has contributed to a more risk-friendly environment, allowing liquidity to flow back into crypto markets.

Historically, such rate cuts have been bullish for cryptocurrencies, as they often lead to increased liquidity in the markets. While the immediate aftermath of the Israel-Iran conflict may present challenges, historical data suggests that cryptocurrencies have the potential to thrive in such environments.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
