After reclaiming a crucial level over the past week, Avalanche (AVAX) faces resistance near the $27 mark. Some analysts have suggested that reclaiming this area could kickstart a rally toward the next key resistance levels. Related Reading: Ethereum Prepares For $2,850 Rally, But Analysts Warn Of Potential Dip To These Levels Avalanche Targets $32 Resistance Avalanche has seen a nearly 40% surge over the past week, jumping from the $19 mark to a three-month high of $26.84 on Monday. The cryptocurrency hit an 18-month low of $14.66 during the early April retraces but recovered around 37% ahead of its recent breakout. Amid the market recovery, AVAX has broken out of its five-month downtrend, which saw the cryptocurrency retrace over 73% from its Q4 2024 high. Moreover, Avalanche formed a 2-month Cup-and-Handle pattern, with the neckline at the $23 resistance. Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems pointed out that the formation had a “super clean” target and was “in confluence with the next resistance level,” at around the $32 mark. This area, lost in early February, was a crucial resistance and support zone before the Q4 2024 rally and the Q1 2025 market shakeouts. After the neckline breakout and reclaiming this level over the weekend, the analyst noted that the target “is clear now.” As such, Avalanche could likely see another 30% rally toward the $32 mark. Meanwhile, analyst CW highlighted that AVAX has a key sell wall near the $27 level, where it has faced resistance over the past few days. However, if it breaks through this barrier, it could surge to the $36 level before facing the next selling wall near the $38.5 area. Another wall between the $42.5-$46.5 levels lies ahead. On the contrary, if the cryptocurrency gets rejected from the first resistance, the price could revisit the breakout levels and the downtrend line around the $20 mark, with a selling wall below it that could serve as support. AVAX To Repeat BTC And SOL’s Playbook? Crypto Amsterdam suggested that many altcoins, including Avalanche, are forming a setup seen in Bitcoin’s (BTC) and Solana’s (SOL) charts. According to the analyst, the setup follows a Macro range, divided into five cycle stages. The first stage, set during the bull market, sees a cryptocurrency move quickly toward the highs, setting the range’s upper boundary. During the second phase, at the start of the bear market, the token’s price records “steep lower lows and highs” toward the range’s low before moving to the third stage, the accumulation phase. In this stage, the cryptocurrency registers a deviation below the range’s low. The fourth stage sees the cryptocurrency register its first higher high and reclaim the range lows again. Lastly, the cryptocurrency moves toward the past cycle’s high during the fifth stage, breaking past the range’s high after reclaiming the mid-zone. Crypto Amsterdam explained that AVAX’s chart is “another super clean mini cycle example.” After hitting its all-time high (ATH) of $146 in November 2021, Avalanche set its range between the $20-$130 levels, falling below the range’s low in mid-2022. The cryptocurrency reclaimed the range low in late 2023, ending the third stage and entering the fourth one during the early 2024 rally. Since then, it has retested the range lows after its deviation, recovering this level during last week’s breakout.

If Avalanche continues to follow this setup, it must reclaim the mid-range, at around the $75 mark, to surge to the upper boundary and potentially hit a new ATH. However, the analyst also suggested that falling below the local bottom would invalidate the setup. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Amid its recent breakout, Ethereum (ETH) has recovered a crucial Range lost in Q1, preparing to surge to the mid-zone of this area. However, various analysts forecast potential volatility for the King of Altcoins, as it faces some resistance at the current levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces Key Resistance After 10% Weekly Rally – Confirmation Or Rejection Next? Ethereum To Trade Sideways Before Next Jump After surging nearly 45% in the past week, Ethereum has reclaimed its $2,200-$3,900 macro range lost in March. During the late-April market pump, the cryptocurrency recovered from its 18-month low of $1,380, jumping toward the $1,800 resistance before breaking out last Thursday. ETH has smashed past the $2,000 resistance and regained the crucial $2,100 and $2,300 levels before retesting the $2,600 resistance over the weekend. Since then, the King of Altcoins has hovered between the $2,400-$2,600 price range, hitting a two-month high of $2,624 on Monday. Market watcher Castillo Trading highlighted that Ethereum is “doing exactly what it should be. Taking some time to build a base at important levels before the next move.” The analyst stated that the $2,400-$2,700 zone will likely be ETH’s trading range for the upcoming days after its retest of the range lows as support, with “some shakeouts in both directions before continuing its next leg up.” Similarly, Daan Crypto Trades noted that the cryptocurrency’s current level is important, as it could determine its short-term direction. According to the trader, Ethereum could drop to $2,300 or below the $2,100 support level if it loses the key area. “In that case, you can simply wait for a consolidation to be formed at those levels,” he explained. On the contrary, if ETH breaks past the $2,600 resistance, and price keeps surging, the current level may “become a nice retest of the horizontal.” Notably, the next crucial horizontal level sits around the $2,850-$2,900 range, a significant support and resistance area amid the Q3 2024 pullback and the Q4 2024 breakout. Is A Dip Or A 15% Shakeout Coming? Analyst Rekt Capital pointed out that Ethereum secured a key Weekly Close after closing the week at $2,514 and officially reclaiming its Macro Range. According to the analyst, history suggests that ETH will “likely lift across the Range” over time, while “any dips, if needed at all, would only solidify $2200 as Range Low support.” He stressed that the recent Weekly Close occurred at the top of a crucial cluster, enabling a scenario where “just a small dip would suffice, if the green circled retest repeats here at ~$2468 (black).” However, if that level is lost, ETH could see a 10%-15% pullback toward the $2,200-$2,100 mark. Rekt Capital also remarked that the second-largest crypto by market capitalization has managed to fill the $2,530-$2,630 Daily CME Gap, created in March. Related Reading: Why The US-China 90-Day Tariff Slash Can Push Bitcoin Price Above $110,000 Amid its breakout, ETH also formed two small CME Gaps at the $2,300-$2,400 and $2,100-$2,200 levels, which could be closed soon. The former is the “more important dipping area, as it is also a Weekly CME Gap.” Additionally, he affirmed that Ethereum intends to fill its Macro CME Gap, between $2,900 and $3,350, signaling that a surge toward those levels could be ahead. As of this writing, Ethereum trades at $2,597, a 5% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
After jumping by 10% over the past week, Bitcoin (BTC) has hit a crucial resistance level, which could push or momentarily halt the flagship crypto’s rally toward a new all-time high (ATH). Related Reading: Bitcoin Stays Resilient While Wall Street Stumbles – Details Bitcoin Hits Key Level Bitcoin recently jumped above the $100,000 barrier for the first time since February. During its significant weekly performance, BTC has surged over 10% to hit a three-month high of $105,500 on Monday, fueling investors’ sentiment regarding a new ATH rally. On Monday, Analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that the flagship crypto rallied across the entire re-accumulation range, concluding its downside deviation and the first price discovery correction. After surging to its range high of $104,500, Bitcoin has faced rejection from this key level, momentarily pausing its rally. He pointed out that Bitcoin already had its first Price Discovery Uptrend and Price Discovery Correction. The cryptocurrency is now attempting to confirm its second Price Discovery Uptrend, but needs to reclaim the $104,500 level as support to confirm this phase. As the analyst explained, this level is currently acting as resistance after it closed the week at $104,118, just below the range high. He added that “technically BTC can try to confirm an uptrend beyond this point by Daily Closing above $104.5k and then holding it as support, so it will be worth watching for this lower timeframe confirmation.” However, “until that confirmation is in, this resistance will continue to act as one. And as resistances do, they tend to reject price.” According to Rekt Capital, Bitcoin has repeated some key elements from its Post-halving range in its current range, suggesting that if BTC continues to reject from this level, it could face a post-breakout retest of its lower high resistance. One Dip Left Before ATHs? Previously, the analyst detailed that BTC could be repeating its Q4 2024 performance, where the cryptocurrency recovered from its downside deviation to hit a new ATH. BTC initially got rejected at its lower high resistance and fell to the range’s lows before breaking above the lower high, retesting it as support, and soaring to a new ATH. For history to repeat, BTC must get rejected at $99,000, hold $93,500 as support, and break the $97,000-$99,000 range before being rejected at the $104,500 resistance, which is the level “to turn into support for Bitcoin to breakout into its second Price Discovery Uptrend.” Notably, BTC followed this path closely over the past week, getting rejected near $99,000 and retesting the $93,500 support before jumping above the $100,000 mark. To continue this performance, the cryptocurrency must fall to the $97,000-$99,000 range and hold it as support for a similar breakout to new ATHs. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Completes Bullish Structure Break – $3,000 Comes Next In his Monday analysis, Rekt Capital shared that BTC’s lower high resistance is at the $98,500 level, signaling that a 5% drop could be ahead. However, he noted that the retest “doesn’t need to happen at all,” as Bitcoin could Daily Close above the key resistance, hold this level, and rally to new ATHs. “But in the event of a dip, turning the Lower High resistance into a new support could fully confirm the break of this Lower High, turn it into new support, and in doing so, solidify BTC’s positioning in the $98.5k-$104.5k portion of the ReAccumulation Range,” he concluded.

After breaking out of its five-month downtrend, an analyst suggests a repeat of Stellar (XLM)’s last cycle playbook could be on the horizon. The cryptocurrency has confirmed its breakdown from a bullish reversal pattern and eyes a surge toward new targets Related Reading: Ethereum Jumps To $2,000 Amid Market Surge – Analyst Says This Resistance Is Next Stellar Breakout Targets $0.39 Amid the market pump, Stellar has broken out of a key demand zone and retested the $0.30 mark for the first time since March. The cryptocurrency has been in a downtrend since its November 2024 breakout, when it reached a three-year high of $0.63. During this year’s retraces, XLM dropped 68% from the highs to a five-month low of $0.20. However, the late-April market recovery saw the cryptocurrency surge above the downtrend and attempt to confirm the breakout after recording a weekly close above the $0.28 mark. On Friday, Stellar has reclaimed the $0.29 resistance and retested the $0.30 mark for the first time in nearly two months. Following today’s performance, Ali Martinez pointed out that Stellar is breaking out of a two-month inverse head and Shoulder pattern. This pattern is a bullish reversal setup that suggests a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. Earlier this week, the analyst pointed out that the pattern’s right shoulder was forming and the neckline sat around the $0.29 mark. According to his post, a breakout from this formation potentially eyed a 30% rally toward the $0.39 resistance, lost during the February retraces. XLM To Repeat Historical Tendencies? Analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that the cryptocurrency confirmed the end of its multi-month downtrend and a breakout from its Downtrending Channel. Per the post, if XLM weekly closes above its key area, between $0.27-$0.29, any dips into this zone would figure as a successful reclaim of the area as support to support a move to higher regions. The analyst explained that reclaiming the $0.27-$0.29 area is crucial because it is a “historical demand region on the monthly timeframe.” In the past, turning this zone into support during bull markets has enabled Stellar to rally toward the $0.37-$0.40 mark. In 2021, the cryptocurrency rallied toward its cycle high of $0.80 after retesting the key demand zone and breaking out of the $0.37 barrier. Similarly, it hit its all-time high (ATH) of $0.87 after a breakout from this area. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says XRP Price Must Clear This Level Or Risk Crash To $1.9 If XLM repeats history and rallies to the next resistance, it must reclaim and confirm that level to continue with its historical tendencies. “As such, a reclaim could see XLM challenge the $0.52 blue highs over time,” Rekt Capital concluded. Meanwhile, analyst CW has noted that after breaking the upper line of the downtrend channel, Stellar would encounter resistance in two selling walls, one between the $0.34-$0.38 levels, and a big one around the $0.47-$0.70 zone. As of this writing, Stellar trades at $0.296, a 2% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
After soaring over 10% on Wednesday, Ethereum (ETH) has jumped past the $2,000 mark for the first time since March, leading some analysts to suggest that the second-largest crypto could reclaim its macro range in the coming days. Related Reading: XRP Is Forms Bullish Reverse Dragon Head Pattern, How High Can Price Go? Ethereum Hits Seven-Week High For the first time in over a month, Ethereum has retested the $2,000 resistance, hitting a seven-week high of $2,075. The King of Altcoin lost this level at the end of March, nosediving to its two-year low of $1,385 in the following weeks. Amid the late-April market recovery, ETH climbed above crucial levels, reclaiming the $1,600-$1,750 zone over the last 14 days. Earlier this week, the cryptocurrency finally reclaimed the $1,800 resistance, but some investors worried about its sideways price action and a potential drop to lower support levels. Nonetheless, Ethereum soared by 8.3% toward the $1,950 level after US President Donald Trump revealed yesterday that a “major trade deal” with a “big, and highly respected, country” would be announced on May 8. On Thursday, Trump’s $6 billion deal with the UK pushed ETH past the $2,000 mark and near the $2,100 level. Analyst Rekt Capital highlighted the “strong breakout so far,” noting that the cryptocurrency held the bottom of its historical demand zone and rebounded around 14% to the top of the range. After the price jump, the analyst explained that ETH must turn the $1,930 level into support to avoid an upside wick and rejection, and confirm a breakout toward the $2,200 area. “Ethereum will need to simply stay above $1930 to continue to be positioned for a revisit of $2200 (black). The goal for ETH is to use this light blue historical demand area to resynchronise with its $2200-$3900 Macro Range,” he detailed. ETH Eyes New Bull Rally Rekt Capital also pointed out ETH’s dominance was “upticking after making new All Time Lows,” which resembles its 2020 performance. At the time, the cryptocurrency’s dominance bounced after making a new low, surging toward higher levels in the following months. Meanwhile, Daan Crypto Trades noted that Ethereum is testing its range high against its BTC trading pair. According to the post, “this move is tiny compared to what it has to make up for to see some proper relief. You can however already see the market wide impact it has on alts by just moving ~7% against BTC.” Despite looking “decent” after the price jump, the trader advised investors not to get overexcited until ETH/BTC breaks out and holds above the 0.0202 range high. “If it does that, we can get a setup for a larger potential few week reversal in ALT/BTC pairs and for BTC.D to come down. For now, still rangebound,” Daan explained. Related Reading: Injective (INJ) Gearing Up For $10 Level Retest – Is A Bullish Reversal Ahead? He also suggested that investors should be prepared for a big price move, as this performance “generally ends in violent fashion with a big wick towards the upside before cooling off.” Ali Martinez highlighted that the key supply barrier for the cryptocurrency sits at around $2,380, where 12.72 million addresses bought 69.6 million ETH. According to the analyst, “clearing this level could ignite a new bull rally.” As of this writing, Ethereum trades at $2,050, a 13.5% surge in the daily timeframe.

As price continues to trade sideways, Ethereum (ETH) has reclaimed a crucial level, which could kickstart a breakout toward the $2,100 resistance. However, some analysts suggest that bulls need to take action or a 15% drop could be in the horizon. Related Reading: Injective (INJ) Gearing Up For $10 Level Retest – Is A Bullish Reversal Ahead? Ethereum Eyes Breakout To $2,100 After successfully holding the $1,750 level as support, Ethereum has reclaimed the key $1,800 resistance. The cryptocurrency has recovered nearly 20% over the past two weeks, hitting a one-month high of $1,873 at the start of May. ETH currently registers a 1.92% increase from its monthly opening following its negative 1.95% April. Notably, the King of Altcoins could end a five-month red streak if it continues trading above the $1,807 mark in the coming weeks. Amid the Tuesday correction, Ethereum retested the $1,750 level before jumping back above the $1,800 mark. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted that ETH is holding the recently reclaimed resistance and starting to bounce to confirm as support again, indicating buying pressure. As a result, the analyst considers that investors are “about to witness a big breakout” to the $2,100 barrier in the coming 1-2 weeks. Reclaiming this level is key for Ethereum, as it was a key resistance ahead of its Q4 2023 breakout and served as a key support zone during the 2024 and early 2025 rally. Analyst World of Charts highlighted that ETH has been moving sideways between the $1,750-$1,870 price range after breaking out from its downtrend in late-April. And it “seems like building up for solid breakout” from its consolidation zone. Per the post, a breakout from this range and confirmation of the level as support could send the cryptocurrency toward the $2,500 level, lost in February. ETH’s Price Risks Another Correction Market watcher Daan Crypto Trades pointed out that “bulls would want to get a move going soon,” despite ETH’s price holding above the $1,750 support. The trader suggested that the altcoin could not stand another retest of this range, and if the level doesn’t hold, a 15% drop could be likely. “if that level gives in, it can be pretty easy to see how it just “Bart moves” back down to the $1500s,” Daan detailed, warning that ETH could risk a new low if it falls below this level. Related Reading: SUI Breakout To $4 Imminent? Analyst Says A Correction To This Level Could Come First Nonetheless, he concluded that it is “still fine as long as it trades where it does but be careful if we’d see a move & close below $1750.” Crypto Amsterdam also suggested that ETH could dive toward the $1,500 mark. According to the chart, if Ethereum is rejected again from the current levels, it could retrace toward the mid-April levels, between $1,550-$1,650, before bouncing toward its range high above the $1,900 mark. As of this writing, Ethereum trades at $1,811, a 1% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Injective (INJ) could be preparing for another retest of the $10 resistance as its price attempts to confirm a key support level. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency could be preparing for a breakout and a massive bullish reversal. Related Reading: SUI Breakout To $4 Imminent? Analyst Says A Correction To This Level Could Come First Injective Eyes $10 Retest Over the past month, Injective has surged around 43% from its 18-month low registered on April 7. During last month’s recovery, the cryptocurrency pumped from the $6.34 low to the $10 barrier, hitting a six-week high of $10.63 before retracing. INJ has been in a downtrend since hitting its Q4 high of $35.26, retracing nearly 75% in the last six months. Analyst Crypto Rand noted that the token has attempted to break out of the downtrend but has faced strong resistance around the $9.5-$10 range. Following its recent jump, Injective got rejected from this range, with some market watchers suggesting that it could retest the $9-$9.20 levels as support before the next breakout attempt. Amid the weekend retrace, INJ’s price has touched these levels, trading between the $9.00-$9.40 and briefly falling to $8.90 before bouncing. After the 4.8% drop, the cryptocurrency is attempting to confirm this level as support, which could help Injective gain strength for another push above the key zone and toward the $11-$12 resistance. Crypto Rand noted that a breakout of the “$10 range would trigger the bullish reversal,” which could also propel the token toward the $14 barrier, lost in early March. Notably, this level has been a key horizontal level since the November post-election pump, serving as a crucial support and resistance. INJ Ready For A Breakout? Meanwhile, analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems highlighted a massive, inverse Head and Shoulders pattern on INJ’s chart, noting that investors should pay attention as “this is one of the strongest reversal patterns.” This formation is a bullish reversal chart that suggests a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. According to the chart, the cryptocurrency has formed this setup over the past two months, with the neckline sitting around the $10.30 resistance level. A breakout from the neckline could trigger a significant surge toward the $14 mark. Analyst Lennaert affirmed that INJ “feels like an absolute steal” at its current range, as he considers that the cryptocurrency is likely not going lower than the 2023 key support at around $5.5. The analyst suggested that if momentum flips to altcoins, INJ’s price “will be back at the highs in no time,” adding that it has “one of the strongest fundamentals of all projects out there.” Related Reading: $25 Million Pledge From Ripple Set To Benefit Teachers And Students Across The US Notably, the project announced that “For the first time ever, all of the Magnificent 7 stocks are live on-chain via Injective” to “redefine Wall Street and finance forever.” According to the May 6 statement, Apple’s APPL, Microsoft’s MSFT, Amazon’s AMZN, Nvidia’s NVDA, Meta’s META, Google’s GOOGL, and Tesla’s TSLA are now “fully tradable 24/7 through Injective’s iAsset framework and the decentralized exchange Helix. As of this writing, INJ trades at $9.25, a 27.2% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
SUI, one of the leading altcoins of this cycle, targets the key $4.00 barrier after its recent price surge. Amid its reclaim of key supports, an analyst suggests the cryptocurrency could retest a crucial level before its upcoming expansion. Related Reading: Avalanche Bounces Off Key Price Level: Top Indicator Flashes A Buy Signal SUI Eyes 17% Jump Over the last two weeks, SUI has jumped nearly 85%, breaking above the crucial $3.80 barrier and recovering from its multi-month downtrend. During the Q1 market retraces, SUI lost key support levels and retraced over 68% from its January high of $5.35 toward its $1.71 six-month low. In March, the cryptocurrency attempted to reclaim the crucial $3.00 barrier, driven by the news of institutional adoption, but failed to confirm the breakout. Before its recent token unlock, the cryptocurrency saw its price rise from the $2.11 mark and reclaim the $3.00 resistance for the first time since February, rallying to a two-month high of $3.87. Its bullish momentum slowed after the unlock of 88.34 million SUI tokens, worth around $300.4 million, on April 30. The cryptocurrency saw an 8.5% retrace, dropping from $3.51 to $3.21. On Monday, SUI’s price jumped 5.2%, recovering the $3.40 support as the recent selling pressure decreased. Analyst AMCryptoAlex considers that the altcoin could hit the $3.90-$4 resistance after the unlock, if the flagship crypto, Bitcoin, holds the $94,000 mark. Meanwhile, analyst Lennaert noted that SUI could see a bullish continuation of its recent performance after retesting the $3.20-$3.25 support zone and bouncing. “If momentum flips, we’ll be testing the highs in no time. SUI repeatedly proved it doesn’t need much to pump hard. The team keeps on building, and it’s already growing to be one of the most promising ecosystems,” the analyst concluded. Is A $3.25 Retest Coming? Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems suggested that SUI is potentially forming a Power of 3 (Po3) setup in a low timeframe. The Po3 pattern divides the price cycle into three phases: accumulation, manipulation, and distribution. In the accumulation phase, a consolidation occurs near the recent high after a strong price performance. Meanwhile, the manipulation phase sees a token’s price falling below the accumulation phase’s support level and trades within a range below the recently lost zone. The distribution phase consists of a strong price breakout, with momentum building and participants entering the market. Related Reading: BNB Bulls Target $644 As Classic Chart Formation Emerges According to the analyst, SUI started the accumulation phase after its recent breakout, hovering between the $3.25-$3.85 price range over the next few days. Amid the Sunday price drop, the cryptocurrency began the second phase, falling below the range’s lower boundary and trading near that level throughout the day. Since recovering the $3.25 mark today, SUI has seemingly entered the distribution phase, which could see SUI test the $3.25 support before soaring toward the $4.00 resistance. “Watch for a retest of that support level—or close to it—as we might see an expansion afterwards,” he concluded. As of this writing, SUI trades at $3.46, a 56% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to break out from its weekly range, its price eyes the crucial $99,000-$100,000 resistance barrier, fueling bullish sentiment among investors. Multiple analysts forecast that the flagship’s crypto next all-time high (ATH) rally is around the corner, with some suggesting that the initial jump could come in the coming days. Related Reading: Ethereum ‘Running Out Of Time’? Analyst Says New ATH May Not Come This Cycle Bitcoin To $100,000 This Weekend? Over the past two weeks, Bitcoin has recovered from its sub-$80,000 correction, breaking above the $90,000 mark and reclaiming the $93,5000 resistance to re-enter its post-US elections price range. Amid its recovery, the cryptocurrency consolidated between the $93,000-$96,000 range, moving sideways for the last weeks. The start-of-month pump has seen BTC break out of this range after being compressed during this period, resembling its performance from two weeks ago. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades explained that BTC surged to the $83,000-$86,000 region during the mid-April recovery, consolidating for over a week before a small 2% breakout toward the $87,500 resistance. This was followed by a two-day “tight chop” and a breakout to a new higher range. He suggested that Bitcoin displays “a similar setup as the week before” as it has ranged and compressed within the $93,000-$96,000 zone and jumped around 2% to the $97,700 mark. Additionally, the largest crypto by market capitalization’s “tight chop” phase could have started as its price has hovered between $97,050 and $97,700 for the past few hours. If BTC replicates its recent performance, the flagship crypto could rally around 8% toward a new range at the end of the weekend and retest $99,000-$100,000 in the coming days. BTC Resembles Q4 2024 Price Action Meanwhile, analyst Rekt Capital suggested that Bitcoin could repeat its Q4 2024 performance. He highlighted that BTC has recovered from its downside deviation to reclaim its recent re-accumulation range, but it’s facing a lower high resistance within this zone. Notably, the cryptocurrency experienced the same situation in the post-halving re-accumulation range, initially rejected from the lower high to fall to the range’s lows. Weeks later, Bitcoin broke above the lower high resistance, restesting it as support before breaking out and soaring to a new ATH. The analyst noted that the idea was first explored before the US election pump, suggesting that BTC could mimic its Q1 2024 rally, fueled by the US spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). “It would be poetry if Bitcoin repeated history and followed through on the same path in this current Range as well,” he stated. However, Rekt Capital detailed that for history to repeat, Bitcoin must get rejected at $99,000, hold the $93,500 mark as support, and break the $97,000-$99,000 range before being rejected at the $104,500 resistance. Related Reading: Crypto Graveyard: 50% Of Tokens Have Failed In the Past 5 years – Report Then the flagship crypto would need to hold the $97,000-$99,000 range as support for a similar breakout to new ATHs. The analyst concluded that if Bitcoin continues holding the $93,500 mark, the price will be positioned to move across its re-accumulation range. Nonetheless, BTC must break its “black Lower High resistance within this Range, which is positioned at ~$99k this week.” As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $97,461, a 3% increase in the weekly timeframe.

As Ethereum (ETH) continues to slowly turn crucial resistance levels into support, some analysts consider that the King of altcoins could be running out of time for a new all-time high (ATH) this cycle. Related Reading: Crypto Graveyard: 50% Of Tokens Have Failed In the Past 5 years – Report Ethereum Closes April In Red Over the past week, Ethereum has attempted to reclaim the $1,800 mark, hovering between the $1,770-$1,820 price range. In the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency has seen a 5.5% jump, breaking above the key resistance and last week’s high of $1,850. Amid this price action, ETH retested the $1,860-$1,870 range for the first time in one month, and closed April just 1.56% below in opening price. Nonetheless, Ethereum’s negative monthly close marked the fifth consecutive month in the red for the cryptocurrency. The king of Altcoins has been recording monthly negative returns since December, its worst-performing streak since 2018, and closed the first quarter of 2025 with a 45.4% retracement. Analyst Carl Runefelt noted this performance, noting that “the good news is that historically, May is the most positive month of the year for ETH.” In general, it has been one of the best-performing months for Ethereum, registering an average 27.31% increase in May. Additionally, the second quarter has been a positive period for cryptocurrency, closing Q2 in the green seven out of nine times. Despite its negative April close, Ethereum registers a mild 2.15% positive return this quarter so far, which could suggest that the cryptocurrency could continue its current performance if history repeats. Another market watcher considers that ETH’s price is displaying a similar performance to Bitcoin’s (BTC) 2020 rally. At the time, “Bitcoin consolidated at $8K… Most ignored it. Then it hit $64K.” According to Merlijn The Trader, “Ethereum is showing the exact same structure. Accumulation. Compression. Explosion loading.” However, this would suggest another pullback could come before a new ATH. ETH To Skip ATH Rally This Cycle? Meanwhile, analyst Crypto Bullet offered a not-so-bullish macro perspective. According to his post, the Ethereum mid-term correction is over after taking out the August-October 2023 lows, printing a “giant reversal candle,” and holding the mid-line of the multi-year descending Channel. Based on this, he argues that ETH’s bottom is in, and a significant mid-term bounce will likely occur in the next few months, with a first target of $2,500. Crypto Bullet noted that the surge could be either a Dead Cat bounce or the start of a new ATH rally, adding that it could be the former due to the cryptocurrency’s weak performance and how advanced the cycle is. In that case, Ethereum could face a potential rejection at the $2,700-$3,000 range, but a bullish rally could start if it breaks through the $3,000 resistance and breaks out of the multi-year channel.

In a previous analysis, Crypto Bullet discussed the potential of ETH not hitting an ATH this cycle, noting XRP’s performance in 2021. “So what if ETH cycle top is in and it’s gonna print a giant Accumulation Structure (a Triangle or a Zigzag) and break out of it, say, in 2028?” he questioned, concluding that investors would accumulate more energy for a breakout, and the targets would be significantly higher.

A recent report revealed that over 50% of all crypto tokens have failed in the past five years, with a significant decrease in token survivability over the past year. Related Reading: Solana: Analysts Forecast Q3 ATH Rally As SOL Retests Make Or Break Level 50% Of Crypto Tokens Have Collapsed On Wednesday, CoinGecko published a report claiming that over half of the tokens registered in its Decentralized Exchange (DEX) tracker, GeckoTerminal, have died in the past five years. The study examined the total number of crypto tokens once listed in the DEX tracker with one trade or more before going defunct. Since 2021, nearly 7 million tokens have been listed in the real-time tracker, with 3.7 million cryptocurrencies no longer actively traded and considered to have failed. As a result, 52.7% of all examined crypto died, 86.5% failing between 2024 and early 2025. According to the report, 49.7% of all recorded project failures between July 2021 and March 2025 occurred in the first quarter of this year. By March 31, 1.8 million tokens had collapsed, representing the highest number of failures recorded in a single year. In 2024, nearly 1.4 million crypto projects failed, accounting for 37.7% of all collapses during the analyzed period. The number of failing projects has significantly increased from 0.5% in 2021 to 25% in 2025’s first three months. Nonetheless, CoinGecko noted that 2024 has the highest number of launches, seeing over 3 million new projects deployed in the crypto market. Since 2021, the total number of projects has skyrocketed by around 1,550%, going from 428,383 listed projects on GeckoTerminal to nearly 7 million crypto projects. Memecoin Frenzy Responsible For Most Failures? The massive increase in token launches was fueled by the launch of the Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun, which facilitated the deployment of tokens. The platform’s creation led to a “flood of meme coins and low-effort projects entering the market.” Notably, the start of this cycle’s memecoin frenzy saw the launch of hundreds of PolitiFi tokens, celebrity tokens, and scam tokens, with many reaching market capitalizations of hundreds of millions in record time. The report highlighted that crypto failures were in the low six digits before Pump.fun’s launch, with only 12.6% of all dead tokens between 2021 and 2023. By July 2024, reports revealed most celebrity memecoins had crashed over 90% since launch, with the majority essentially “dead.” Related Reading: Monero (XMR) Price Jumps 50% Amid ‘Suspicious’ $330 Million BTC Transfer – Details Amid the Q1 market retraces, most cryptocurrencies have seen a sharp price decline, with some of the strongest tokens retesting monthly and yearly lows. The recent nosedive in token survivability could be related to the market exhaustion and market turbulence, which coincided with the launch of the official TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins and the LIBRA token scandal. “This sharp decline in token survivability may be linked to broader market turbulence, particularly following Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, which coincided with a downturn in the crypto market,” the report concluded.

After reclaiming crucial levels, Solana (SOL) has been moving sideways within a key price range, with its next direction yet to be determined. However, some analysts suggest a breakout could kick-start a new bullish rally in the coming months. Related Reading: Monero (XMR) Price Jumps 50% Amid ‘Suspicious’ $330 Million BTC Transfer – Details Solana Moves Within Key Range Amid its 15% biweekly recovery, Solana, one of the leading altcoins of this cycle, has attempted to reclaim a crucial resistance after recovering the $140 support for the first time since late February. Earlier this month, the cryptocurrency fell to a 14-month low of $95 amid the market retraces, which saw Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) retest key horizontal levels. Since hitting its $293 all-time high (ATH), SOL has retraced up to 63%, trading 50% below its January high at the time of writing. However, Solana climbed above some crucial ranges during the recent crypto market recovery. Over the past few weeks, the altcoin has successfully recovered the $120 and $130 support zones, breaking above the $140 resistance seven days ago, where the SOL price has been rejected since losing the level nearly two months ago. As a market watcher pointed out, Solana has been moving sideways, consolidating within the $145-$157 range for the past week. The trader noted that this range could decide SOL’s next direction, with a breakout above the upper boundary positioning the altcoin to retest higher levels. On the contrary ,if it breaks down this price range, the “next support level below at around $136,” which could also risk a drop to the $100-$120 support zones. However, Ali Martinez recently stated that Solana is forming a “textbook-perfect cup and handle pattern,” which could mark the start of a major rally for SOL. SOL Price Preparing For A Breakout? Analyst Alex from AMCrypto noted that Solana’s short-term downtrend is over after a recent breakout. He identified that SOL broke out of a seven-day falling wedge that formed within its current range, surging above the upper trendline on Monday. According to the analyst, “SOL could hit $170-$180 in the short term and most likely a new ATH by Q3/Q4,” based on its utility and demand. “It recently surpassed all other L1s and L2s combined in DEX volume, which shows its immense utility. Along with that, multiple companies are also raising funds to buy SOL, which will further add demand,” he explained. With the price attempting to hold the $150 mark, trader Lluciano_BTC considers the current level “a strong hold.” He highlighted that Solana’s uptrend “is only getting started” after breaking out of a multi-month falling wedge formation at the start of the month. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Explode To $210,000 This Year, Says Quant Powerhouse Presto According to the chart, SOL broke out of the pattern ahead of the sub-$100 correction, testing a key demand zone during the following pullback. After recovering the $120 mark, the altcoin has been in an uptrend, which eyes the $170 resistance as the next target. As of this writing, Solana trades at $149, a 1.1% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum (ETH) experienced a significant recovery over the past week after jumping over 10% to the $1,800 resistance. The cryptocurrency’s momentum has seen it reclaim key levels, which could ignite a 28% rally continuation in the following weeks. Related Reading: SUI Eyes $4 Amid 56% Weekly Surge – Here Are The Levels To Watch Ethereum Reclaims First Horizontal Level In Months Over the past week, Ethereum’s price has jumped around 14% to retest crucial support levels. Amid the market recovery, the cryptocurrency reclaimed the $1,600-$1,650 zone at the start of the week, holding a historical demand area as support. According to analyst Rekt Capital, ETH is holding the bottom of its historical demand zone, between $1,650 and $1,950, after its recent performance, “repeating history also by wicking briefly below it.” Since losing its $2,196-$39,00 Macro Range, the cryptocurrency has traded within this range, upside wicking to the region’s top and turning it into resistance, and downside wicking below the bottom to turn it into support, like in 2023. According to the analyst, “Ethereum needs to keep holding here. If this price stability here can be sustained… There is a chance” to repeat its mid-2023 performance, where the token bounced from this region and hit its early 2024 high of $4,093. Meanwhile, Daan Crypto Trades noted that ETH has flipped a horizontal level back into support. The analyst pointed out that since closing above the $1,750 mark for the past three days, the King of Altcoins has shown a “change in market dynamics.” Notably, Ethereum has not been able to reclaim previous horizontal levels for months, getting rejected and making new lows instead. Daan asserted that the $1,750-$2,100 price range is crucial to continue ETH’s bullish momentum. ETH On The Verge Of Breaking Out Amid this performance, ETH is nearing a breakout from its multi-month downtrend. The cryptocurrency has been in a downtrend since hitting its cycle high of $4,107 in early December, retracing over 56% since then. However, Ethereum is attempting to break from the descending resistance again amid its retest of the $1,800 barrier. Analyst Crypto Caesar affirmed that ETH “is on the verge of breaking out. We really just need that higher high…” Analyst Ted Pillows considers that a 28% jump by next month could be possible if the cryptocurrency reclaims this crucial short-term resistance. He pointed out that the $1,800-$1,850 zone is the next level to break before the $2,000 barrier, noting an inverse head and shoulders pattern on ETH’s chart. Related Reading: ‘All Bets Off’ If Bitcoin Reclaims This Level, But Analysts Warn Of Potential Rejection “If ETH manages to break above it, it could rally towards $2.2K-$2.3K in May,” he concluded. Another analyst previously suggested that Ethereum won’t start a new rally until it reclaims the $2,330 barrier, where over 60 million addresses have purchased the cryptocurrency. As of this writing, Ethereum trades at $1,795, a 2.1% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
SUI is leading the crypto market with a 56% surge over the past seven days, reigniting bullish sentiment toward the token. Amid its price recovery, some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency is about to start a massive rally toward new highs. Related Reading: ‘All Bets Off’ If Bitcoin Reclaims This Level, But Analysts Warn Of Potential Rejection SUI Reclaims $3 Amid Breakout On Thursday, SUI, one of the leading cryptos of this cycle, saw an 11% daily jump to break above a crucial barrier. The token has been in a multi-month downtrend since hitting its all-time high (ATH) of $5.35 four months ago. Throughout the 2025 corrections, the cryptocurrency has lost key support levels, retracing over 68% from its January high. However, it attempted to reclaim the $2.70-$2.80 resistance level last month after trying to break out from its multi-month falling wedge structure. In March, the token surged to this key region following the news of institutional adoption, including Canary Capital’s filing of a Form S-1 for an SUI spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Ultimately, it failed to confirm the breakout and turn this level into support, dropping to pre-US election breakout levels in the following weeks. Nonetheless, SUI’s 56% weekly breakout has sent the cryptocurrency back above the $3.00 and $3.20 levels, lost in March. Moreover, SUI has broken out of its falling wedge pattern again, which could propel the token to new highs if the breakout is confirmed. Notably, the altcoin has broken out of a multi-month falling wedge twice, in October 2023 and August 2024, which drove the cryptocurrency to new ATHs in the coming months. Price Sitting At Key Level After Today’s surge to the $3.39 mark, the token has retraced toward the $3.25-$3.30 levels, with market watcher Hov noting that SUI sits at a key resistance zone between the $3.30-$3.70 price range. To the analyst, the cryptocurrency must “carry through this level and get a HTF close above 3.72ish” for bullish confirmation. After this, he suggested that SUI would likely “see a retest of resistance turned support.” This would put the $4.00 resistance and new ATH “on the menu” if it holds. On the contrary, failing to reclaim this key zone could halt the bullish momentum and send the cryptocurrency to retest the recently reclaimed $2.70-$2.80 as support, and risk a drop to the re-accumulation zone between the $2.00-$2.30 range. Related Reading: Cardano Breakout Eyes $0.80 Resistance – Is ADA Repeating Its ATH Playbook? Meanwhile, Rekt capital noted that the token also looks good “on the fundamental side of things, Grayscale opened a SUI trust today, showing institutional growth.” The analyst highlighted that SUI has rallied 50% since breaking its downtrend, which made the token flip Avalanche (AVAX) and Chainlink (LINK), making it the 11th cryptocurrency by market capitalization. As of this writing, SUI trades at $3.28, a 34% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Amid the market recovery, Cardano (ADA) has seen a 5% daily surge to retest the $0.66 level. Its recent price action has led the cryptocurrency to break out of a bullish formation, which could propel ADA to a key resistance zone. Related Reading: Ethereum Attempts Breakout From Multi-Month Downtrend, But Can ETH Hold $1,600? Cardano Breakout Eyes 27% Move On Tuesday, Cardano followed Bitcoin’s price jump and climbed to the $0.66 resistance, attempting to break above the key level for the third time this month. ADA has been in a downtrend since hitting its 3-year high of $1.32 in December 2024, retracing over 50% in the past four months. In March, the cryptocurrency surged 80% toward the $1.17 mark, driven by US President Donald Trump’s initial announcement of a “Crypto Strategic Reserve” comprised of ADA, XRP, and Solana (SOL). However, after the White House’s Crypto Czar, David Sacks, explained that the listed cryptocurrencies were used as an example of leading tokens, ADA’s price retraced to the $0.70-$0.80 range. Amid the late March retraces, Cardano lost the $0.70 mark, falling to the $0.50-$0-55 zone in early April. This month, the cryptocurrency has retested the $0.66 level but has been rejected twice. Today, it attempted to break this level again but was rejected a third time. Nonetheless, analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that ADA has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern amid its current performance. Cardano has been consolidating within a symmetrical triangle formation throughout April, setting the stage for a 27% price move. After surging above the $0.63 mark, ADA broke out of the pattern, eyeing a surge toward the $0.77 resistance next. ADA Preparing For Key Retests Analyst Sebastian noted that the cryptocurrency “is brewing,” as it’s moving within a four-month descending channel. ADA has bounced toward the upper boundary, which has served as resistance, each time it has retested the lower trendline as support. After the recent drop to $0.50, Cardano could retest the upper boundary soon, at around the $0.80 price range. Moreover, the analyst pointed out that the token is currently breaking out of an Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern within the descending channel, which could see the cryptocurrency surge toward the key resistance level. Another market watcher suggested that the cryptocurrency could be following its 2020-2021 pattern. According to the chart, once ADA broke out of its bear market rally levels, it reached a new cycle high, followed by a retest of the bear market rally as support. Related Reading: Analyst Says “The Clock Is Ticking” For XRP — Here’s Why After breaking out of the downtrend, it rallied toward its all-time high (ATH) of $3.09 in the coming months. “If ADA broke out this week and followed the same pattern as last cycle, it would be on track to hit a new ATH in the middle of August,” the analyst asserted. Meanwhile, Dan Gambardello affirmed that Cardano’s biggest resistance is at the $3 mark, “where a lot of people have regret for not selling last cycle.” The analyst forecasted that once ADA hits ATH levels, its pump “will probably pause in that general area with a lot of volatility, and then continue to $5. It’ll be like a crypto bus stop.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Amid the latest market recovery, Ethereum (ETH) attempted to break out from its multi-month downtrend, leading some market watchers to suggest that a new rally could start soon. However, as price struggles to hold the $1,600 level as support, the cryptocurrency risks losing recent momentum. Related Reading: Ethereum Enters Historic Buy Zone As Price Dips Below Key Level – Insights Ethereum Breakout Eyes Key Resistance On Easter Sunday, the crypto market saw a positive end-of-week after jumping 4.2%. Bitcoin (BTC) closed the week above the $85,000 barrier for the first time this month, while Ethereum surged 5.4% to attempt to reclaim the $1,600 resistance for the third time in the past seven days. ETH closed the week around the $1,640 mark before climbing to $1,658 during Monday’s early hours. Amid this performance, the cryptocurrency attempted to break out of its multi-month downtrend for the first time. Crypto analyst Ted Pillows highlighted that Ethereum broke out of its descending resistance on Monday morning. According to the post, the cryptocurrency has been in a downtrend in the one-day chart since early February, retesting the trendline thrice over the past few months, but always being rejected. Its latest rejection from the descending resistance sent the cryptocurrency below the $1,700 mark, which fueled the bearish sentiment brewing toward ETH. The start-of-April retraces, driven by the ongoing tariff war between the US and China, further sent Ethereum to lower levels, hitting its two-year low below $1,400 and retesting the 2018 highs. The analyst noted that ETH could rally toward $2,000 during April’s last leg if the cryptocurrency holds the $1,600 support, which it hasn’t been able to do for most of the month. Is The ETH Bottom Close? Analyst Carl Runefelt also highlighted ETH’s downtrend breakout, affirming that it “might go absolutely parabolic starting from here.” According to Runefelt, the resistance breakout eyes the $3,000 mark, which was lost during the February retraces. However, Ethereum has lost its short-term momentum, retracing its 24-hour gains in the past few hours. Its price dropped below the $1,600 mark into the key $1,500 support level, trading around the $1,570-$1,580 price range. This retracement could hint that ETH’s recovery failed to gain strength, risking a drop to the current level’s lows. However, a bounce from this zone to hold the $1,650 mark could confirm the breakout and propel the cryptocurrency’s price toward $1,700-$1,800 resistance. Analyst Ali Martinez considers that ETH’s new rally won’t start again until it breaks through the $2,330 supply wall, where over 12.6 million addresses purchased around 68-63 million ETH. Related Reading: XRP Wyckoff Pattern Maps Bullish Run To $3.70 This Summer Meanwhile, another market watcher suggested that Ethereum’s trading pair against Bitcoin is “the only chart to look at right now.” Crypto Fella affirmed that the bottom of the ETH/BTC chart is close, as it has reached its lowest level since 2020. Per the chart, the last time ETH/BTC dropped below the 0.022 mark, it hovered between the 0.016-0.022 zone for some months before bouncing toward its late-2021 high. As of this writing, Ethereum trades at $1,571, a 1% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Amid the market volatility, Bitcoin (BTC) has been unable to reclaim the $85,000-$86,000 zone despite its weekly performance. However, some analysts suggest that a breakout from the key resistance level might be around the corner. Related Reading: On-Chain Experiment Or Rug Pull? Base Faces Backlash After Unofficial Memecoin Crashes 90% Bitcoin To Resume Its Bullish Rally? Over the past week, Bitcoin has traded between the $83,000-$86,000 price range, recovering from the sub-$80,000 correction at the start of the month. Notably, the flagship crypto experienced significant volatility last week due to the ongoing trade tariff war between the US and dozens of countries. BTC’s recent recovery began after the US President Donald Trump paused the tariff on over 75 countries for 90 days, which sent BTC’s price back above the $80,000 mark. Amid the volatility, Bitcoin retested the key $78,500 as support and its four-month downtrend resistance, compressing between these two levels. According to market watcher Daan Crypto Trades, Bitcoin has been moving within a significant area, as it was retesting its downtrend line as well as the Daily 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Moving Average (MA), which “has been a tough price region to crack in recent weeks.” Amid Thursday’s pump, BTC is finally breaking out of its downtrend, which could lead to a surge toward the “ultimate level to break for the bulls,” the $90,000-$91,000 barrier, as he suggested that the sideways move in the mid-$80,000 region won’t continue for much longer. Nonetheless, the trader considers that the coming days might not have significant swings due to the Easter weekend, with low volumes and liquidity expected. “Likely going to be quite boring absent any major new headlines,” he asserted, adding that “we’ll see where this wants to go next week.” BTC’s Key Levels To Reclaim Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems pointed out that Bitcoin is trapped below the 50-day EMA, which is “what separated us from a bull run resumption.” He explained that the cryptocurrency has been moving between $78,000-$95,000 since March, with the 50 EMA coinciding with the price range’s mid-zone and seemingly acting as resistance for the past week. Breaking out of the mid-range, between $85,000-$86,000 levels, could send BTC’s price above the $90,000 mark and toward the range’s high. Related Reading: Aptos (APT) To Continue Moving In ‘No Man’s Land’ – Can It Reclaim $5? According to the post, Bitcoin’s current price action resembles May 2021’s performance, before the bull run resumed. At the time, BTC reclaimed the 50 EMA on the daily chart, which “right now, just as back then, (…) has been the line in the sand between the bull and bear markets.” The analyst explained that strong spot buying pressure is necessary to break this resistance and resume BTC’s rally. “Should we finally have this spot buying pressure, and should we finally see the EMA 50 Daily being flipped, all you want next is for that liquidity wall at $87K to be properly broken,” he concluded. As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $84,521, a 1.2% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
After falling from its Macro Range, Aptos (APT) has faced rejection from key levels. Amid its 15% monthly decline, some analysts suggest that APT’s party won’t continue until the $5 resistance is reclaimed. Related Reading: Is The Storm Over For Ethereum? Analyst Says ‘Face-Melting’ Rally Comes Next Aptos Trades In ‘No Man’s Land’ Over the past two weeks, Aptos has seen its price drop to its lowest levels in two years, falling below the $4 mark for the first time. The cryptocurrency has been trading within the $5.45-$17 price range since 2023, maintaining the Macro Range lows until the March corrections. Notably, APT had tested this key level twice before, but closed below its Macro Range for the first time last month. Analyst Rekt Capital noted that the cryptocurrency has historically developed bases around these levels “in the form of downside wicks for three-month periods,” seemingly forming one for the third time with its current downtrend. Amid the early April recovery, the analyst noted that Aptos was forming a lower timeframe bullish divergence as its Relative Strength Index (RSI) was forming Higher Lows despite the downside deviation. Nonetheless, he warned about “the dangers of a higher timeframe bearish retest for APT.” Since then, Aptos has “followed through on that bearish retest and rejected from the previous Macro Range Low, treating it as resistance.” After the rejection, APT’s price retraced 26% to the $3.9 support, where it “found some liquidity” and bounced to the $4.2-$4.5 range. “However, still, the confirmation for a trend reversal isn’t there just yet,” he explained, adding that Aptos must reclaim the Macro Range Lows or it would risk further bleeding. APT needs to reclaim the $5.44 Range Low level as support to confirm that it is ready to resynchronise with its prior range and try to position itself to challenge for higher prices. Without that confirmation, the risk is a little bit too steep because APT is in the middle of no man’s land. Until then, “it will be important to watch out for signs of mounting strength in the meantime,” the analyst added. APT Party Halted? Similarly, analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems considers that there will be “no party on APT” until it reclaims the $5 resistance, which it has been unable to recover for the past two weeks. “As long as we stay below the $5 level, unfortunately, it’s just a bearish retest,” he asserted. Meanwhile, another market watcher pointed out that APT has been moving within a falling wedge pattern for the past five months, with a breakout “imminent.” However, the analyst affirmed that this week’s performance could determine whether the pattern will break out, as it needs to reclaim the $5 resistance and surge above $5.4. Related Reading: On The Brink: Ethereum Challenges Descending Channel, Targets $3,000 Price Rekt Capital noted that Aptos has revisited the 35 Relative Strength Index (RSI) during its recent performance, “which has historically been a key region in facilitating basing periods from which price would reverse to the upside over time.” With APT at this level, the RSI would need to break its multi-week RSI Downtrend to “confirm a sign of emerging strength in price, building out a bottoming-out area here. Until then, it is a waiting game for the most part.” As of this writing, APT trades at $4.5, a 1% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum (ETH) continues to hold a crucial support level after recovering from last week’s correction. Its recent bounce from historical demand zones has led some analysts to suggest that the altcoin is gearing up for a breakout. Related Reading: Forget XRP At $3, Analyst Reveals How High Price Will Be In A Few Months Ethereum Holds Key Support Ethereum has reclaimed the key $1,600 level after dropping below the $1,400 support for the first time since 2023. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization recently fell to a two-year low during last week’s correction, fueled by US President Donald Trump’s trade tariff war. ETH touched $1,385 last Wednesday, retesting the 2018 all-time high (ATH) levels before recovering. Amid Trump’s 90-day tariff pause announcement, Ethereum jumped over 10% from $1,480 to $1,600, briefly nearing the $1,700 resistance. However, its price retraced to the $1,400-$1,500 support zone on Thursday amid the market’s volatility. Over the weekend, the King of Altcoins recovered, hovering between the $1,580-$1,680 price range for the past four days. Ethereum has reclaimed the $1,600 support in the past 24 hours, fueling a bullish sentiment among some market watchers. Analyst Ted Pillows noted that ETH might be getting closer to a breakout from its short-term downtrend line. According to him, investors could expect the cryptocurrency to hold the $1,550-$1,600 level now that global markets are gaining some strength. He considers holding this range could propel Ethereum’s price toward the one-month downtrend line. A breakout and confirmation of this resistance, at around $1,670, could set the base for a 20% jump toward the $2,000 resistance level. Is ETH Out Of The Woods? Merlijn The Trader suggested that ETH is gearing up for a breakout. The market watcher pointed out the cryptocurrency’s two-month descending channel, which could be “history” if volume surges. The analyst considers that as Ethereum nears the channel’s upper boundary, “all we need now is volume” for a surge above the $1,690 mark, adding that a breakout from this level would target $2,700. He also underscored that ETH’s double top formation was completed after “smashing” the $1,432 target, signaling that it “survived the storm.” Notably, the cryptocurrency confirmed this pattern, which developed within its $2,196-$3,904 Macro Range, following its March close below the $2,100 support. After recovering from the recent lows, “Now comes the face-melting rally no one expects. $4,000 is only the beginning.” Meanwhile, Rekt Capital highlighted that Ethereum’s Dominance has almost equaled old All-Time Lows. He explained that since June 2023, ETH’s Dominance has dropped from 20% to 8%, historically a reverse area for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Ethereum Rally May Unleash Massive Gains For 3 Altcoins “Generally, Ethereum Dominance needs to hold this green area for a chance at reversal Increasing ETH Dominance would be highly beneficial for Altcoin valuations over time,” he noted Monday. When the ETH Dominance hit the $7.5%-8.25% range, it reversed “to become more market-dominant,” which could signal a reversal for the King of Altcoins. As of this writing, ETH trades at $1,609, a 1% decrease in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
As Bitcoin (BTC) recovers from its five-month low, the cryptocurrency attempts to reclaim the $84,000 resistance. Some market watchers suggest that more volatility could be around the counter, as the price is compressing between two key levels. Related Reading: Ethereum ‘Set For Potential Rally’ After 10% Surge – Can ETH Recover $1,800? Bitcoin Retests 4-Month Downtrend Line Over the past week, Bitcoin has been trading between the $74,000-$84,000 price range following the recent tariff war-related volatility. After hitting a one-week high of $84,720, the flagship crypto hit a five-month low of $74,773, driven by this week’s market correction. Amid this performance, the cryptocurrency risked a 13.7% drop to the $69,000 support, as it generally needs a daily close above the $78,500 level for a potential short-term rebound. However, BTC’s price has surged 13.5% since Monday’s lows and attempted to reclaim the $84,000 resistance. The market recovery was fueled by US President Donald Trump’s 90-day pause on the trade tariffs for over 75 nations, which saw the crypto market and stock prices jump 6%-10% in an hour this Wednesday. Nonetheless, the tariffs-driven rally slowed Thursday, with Bitcoin retracing nearly 5% to the $79,000 support. Analyst Alex Clay asserted that despite the bullish rally, BTC’s price needed to reclaim the broken $80,000 support and break through the descending 4-month resistance as its short-term structure continued looking bearish. During BTC’s 7% surge in the past 24 hours, the analyst highlighted the key support zone held, invalidating his bearish scenario. However, a breakout and reclaim confirmation of the $84,000 remained crucial for BTC’s price. BTC Preparing For More Volatility? Analyst Rekt Capital pointed out that Bitcoin successfully retested the $78,500 support, but its price was rejected from the 4-month downtrend resistance. Therefore, the flagship crypto’s price is now compressing between these two levels, which usually “precedes volatility.” The analyst also noted that BTC is “developing yet another Higher Low on the RSI while forming Lower Lows on the price.” During this cycle, the cryptocurrency has formed multiple bullish RSI divergences in the daily chart, each preceding a reversal to the levels. Bitcoin’s Daily RSI equaled 2022 Bear Market RSI levels (RSI=23.93) when price crashed into the high $70,000s. The only lower Daily RSI in this cycle was back in August 2023 (RSI=18.28). Throughout this cycle, each visit into sub-25 RSI resulted in a trend reversal to the upside over time. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Needs 15% Bounce After Multi-Year Support Retest, Recovery Ahead? Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggested that BTC could see a retrace back to the $74,000 support zone. He observed that Bitcoin’s movements within its weekly range display a W-shape to the upper boundary, and its price action seemed to be forming an M-shape after Thursday’s retrace and Friday’s jump, which eyes the range’s lower boundary. On the contrary, the analyst also highlighted Bitcoin’s Friday performance, affirming that it “is slicing through key resistance at $82,360.” Notably, BTC’s price then jumped toward the $84,000 barrier, hitting a daily high of $84,220 before retracing to the $83,500 mark. According to Martinez, “A sustained breakout could open the door to $91,500.” As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $83,640, a 1% decline in the weekly timeframe.

Ethereum (ETH) has recovered 10% in the past 24 hours, driven by the US administration’s 90-day pause on the trade tariffs for over 75 nations. The second-largest crypto by market capitalization now targets the $1,800 resistance as the next key level to reclaim for a rally continuation. Related Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) Jumps To $82,000 As Trump Announces 90-Day Pause On Tariffs Except China Ethereum Jumps To $1,600 Ethereum’s price hit a 2-year low of $1,385 during this week’s correction, fueling a bearish sentiment among many investors. The cryptocurrency lost the lower zone of its $2,100-$3,900 macro range on March 9 and has retraced around 16% in the past month. Since then, Ethereum eyed a retest of historical demand zones, dropping below the $1,640 area to hit this week’s lows. As a result, many analysts have noted that ETH’s bleeding might not be over, and a retest of the $1,000-1,200 price range is likely if the king of altcoins doesn’t reclaim key levels. Amid its recent performance, ETH dropped below its realized price by accumulating address of $2,000, which some market watchers consider a potential bottom sign. According to research and analytics platform Crypto Rank, the last time Ethereum fell below this level was in March 2020, when the price dropped from $283 to $109 before significantly recovering in the coming months. Notably, US President Donald Trump’s 90-day pause on tariffs for multiple nations, except China, saw the crypto market and stock prices soar, with Ethereum recovering 10% in an hour. Is A Breakout In The Horizon? Analyst Titan of Crypto noted that Ethereum could be on the verge of a comeback based on the ETH/BTC trading pair. In the ETH/BTC chart, the “RSI is showing a familiar pattern. One that previously signaled a potential shift in momentum.” Notably, the multi-year chart shows that the pair tested the trendline three times before momentum shifted and the ETH price surged toward its 2021 ATH. Similarly, the pair has tested the trendline thrice since 2022, suggesting the cryptocurrency might be headed for a comeback. Analyst Crypto Bullet considers a weekly close above $1,550, a key historical support level, necessary for ETH’s bullish momentum. Meanwhile, pseudonym trader Lluciano affirmed that Ethereum “is showing signs of a breakout after holding strong at key support.” Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Needs 15% Bounce After Multi-Year Support Retest, Recovery Ahead? Yesterday, ETH, which was retesting the 2018 all-time high (ATH) levels, jumped from $1,480 to $1,600, briefly nearing the $1,700 resistance before stabilizing between the $1,580-$1,640 price range. He pointed out that “the market could be ready for a bullish reversal” as the cryptocurrency has formed a falling wedge pattern. Per the post, if ETH breaks above the pattern’s upper trendline, at around the $1,840 mark, ETH could see “significant gains” and rally toward higher levels. As of this writing, Ethereum trades at $1,566, an 11% decline in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Crypto and stock prices have surged in the past hour after US President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause for tariffs on multiple nations, except China. Bitcoin (BTC), the flagship crypto, now eyes the $83,000 barrier after jumping 6.1% following the news. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Next Big Move? Open Interest Says ‘Get Ready’ Trump Authorizes 90-Day Pause On Tariffs In a Truth Social post, President Trump announced he was raising China tariffs to 125% “effect immediately” due to a “lack of respect” shown to the World’s markets. This move follows China’s recently announced reciprocal 84% tariff rate on US goods, starting April 10. “Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable,” Trump explained. In the Wednesday post, the US President also revealed he had authorized a “90 days PAUSE” for other countries, as 75 nations reached out to multiple US Representatives, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the US Trade Representative, to “negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non-Monetary Tariffs.” Additionally, he authorized an immediate substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff of 10% during the 90-day pause. In a second post, the President stated, “This is a great time to buy.” Following the news, stock prices surged, with the S&P 500 (SPX) surging around 6% since the announcement. Meanwhile, the crypto market saw its total market capitalization jump around 5%, with assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) increasing 6%-12% in an hour. Bitcoin Price Surges To $82,000 The flagship crypto climbed from the $76,000-$77,000 range to the $82,000, momentarily reclaiming this level for the first time since Sunday. Its 6% surge has sparked optimism among investors, who saw Bitcoin fall to a five-month low over the weekend. BTC dropped nearly 10% between Sunday and Monday, fueled by the ongoing tariff war. Amid the correction, Bitcoin hit the $74,000 support zone for the first time since November. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Needs 15% Bounce After Multi-Year Support Retest, Recovery Ahead? On Monday, BTC also saw a brief recovery of the $80,000 barrier after major media outlets reported the White House was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs. However, the cryptocurrency erased most gains after the news turned fake. According to online reports, today’s surge triggered $75,000,000 worth of Bitcoin shorts being liquidated in the past 60 minutes. As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $82,444, a 4.1% decline in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Amid the market correction, Solana (SOL) has reclaimed the $100 mark after dropping below this crucial support for the first time in over a year. However, some analysts consider a 15% bounce toward a key historical support is necessary to target higher levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin Headed To $69,000? Analyst Says BTC’s Short-Term Future Hangs On These Levels Is Solana Bull Run Over? Solana hit a 14-month low on Monday after falling 20% in 24 hours, momentarily trading around the $95 mark for the first time since February 2024. After the correction, SOL bounced around 18% to $112 before retracing toward the $100-$110 price range. Fueled by the market’s memecoin frenzy, the altcoin was one of the leading cryptocurrencies last year, hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $270 on January 19. Since then, the cryptocurrency has dropped over 63% from the start-of-year highs. During the Q1 retraces, Solana retested the $120 support zone several times, bouncing from the range, which served as a crucial level during the 2021 and 2024 rallies. However, several analysts pointed out that the support weakened with each retest, and losing that level could see Solana fall under the $100 mark and risk a 50% drop to the $60 support zone. After dropping below the key barrier, trader Crypto Bullet highlighted that SOL’s recent price action broke below August 5 lows, which signals that the cryptocurrency’s bull market could be over. According to the trader, Solana had a “clear 5-wave impulse to the upside that ended in January with TRUMP coin blow-off top,” which suggests a corrective a, b, c zigzag will follow. Based on this, the trader expects “a good mid-term bounce to ~$200 (Lower High)” for wave b and a drop to the $30-$40 price range for wave c. SOL Needs 15% Jump Analyst Ted Pillows considers that Solana could see a massive rally after the correction. He explained that SOL bounced from its multi-year ascending support trendline, a key rebound point in Q3 2023. The last time Solana retested this trendline, it rallied 1,000% toward the $270 mark. If the cryptocurrency holds this level, the analyst considers that SOL could bounce to its ATH in the coming months. Meanwhile, several analysts noted that recovering the $120 support zone is crucial after the recent price action, as this level could determine the altcoin’s next move again. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Out Of Head-And-Shoulders Pattern — Eyes Move Toward $1.30 Sjuul from AltCryptoGems highlighted that SOL needs to “give a clear bounce and reclaim the $120 level” now that “liquidity is taken.” He asserted that failing to recover this key range would suggest that another drop could be ahead. Similarly, Ali Martinez pointed out that Solana’s TD Sequential flashes a buy signal on the weekly chart. Per the post, SOL “needs to stay above $95 and break $121 to set the stage for a rally toward $147.” As of this writing, Solana trades at $105, a 1% decline in the daily timeframe.

The market volatility, fueled by the ongoing tariff war, saw Bitcoin (BTC) trade below the $75,000 mark for the first time since November. Despite recovering from the dip, the flagship crypto risks more short-term volatility if it doesn’t reclaim key support levels soon. Related Reading: XRP Confirms Head And Shoulders Breakdown: How Low Can It Go? Bitcoin Hits 5-Month Lows Bitcoin ended the week with a price drop below the $80,000 support zone, closing Sunday below the $78,500 mark. In the early hours of Monday, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization continued bleeding toward the $74,500 support zone before bouncing. Amid the 9.1% correction, Bitcoin registered its lowest trading price in five months, touching November 6 levels. Market watcher Daan Crypto Trades noted that BTC has been trading below its Bull Market Support Band for the past few weeks, attempting to get back above this level but ultimately facing rejection. According to the trader, “This is a good metric to gauge high timeframe market momentum. So far this cycle, price has traded below it shortly a few times (2023 & 2024) but never traded away from it for much more than ~20%,” suggesting that bull would like to reclaim this region. Analyst Rekt Capital noted that BTC’s current correction is “very close to equaling the retracement depth of the Post-Halving pullback of almost -33%.” The ongoing retrace has seen Bitcoin drop 31% since January’s all-time high (ATH) of $108,786. However, he considers that Bitcoin could bleed into the $70,000 support before hitting the correction’s bottom. “Whenever Bitcoin’s Daily RSI crashed into the sub-28 RSI levels – that wouldn’t necessarily mark out the price bottom. In fact, historically, the actual price bottom would be -0.32% to -8.44% lower than the price when the RSI first bottomed,” he explained, adding that Bitcoin is forming its second low, 2-79% below the first low. If it follows the same pattern and drops 8.44% below the first low, investors could see Bitcoin’s price bottom at around $69,000-$70,000. Another 10% Correction Ahead? Moreover, Rekt Capital outlined the key levels to reclaim after BTC’s weekly close below the $80,650 support. The analyst noted that Bitcoin already has “upside wicked into this level to tag it as potential new resistance” this week. As a result, it must recover last week’s close level if BTC wants to challenge 2025’s Weekly Downtrend, and it also needs to hold Sunday’s daily close level of $78,500. Bitcoin failed to Daily Close above the Downtrend. In fact, price continued to form new Lower Highs in its already extended series of Lower Highs. On the latest rejection, BTC landed into the ~$78,500 lows. Continue to hold this level as support, and BTC has a chance at challenging the $82,500 level in the short term. The analyst detailed that Bitcoin generally needs to close above the $78,500 level to “build a base here for a potential short-term rebound.” On the contrary, a daily close below this level would see BTC positioned for a bearish retest after closing below it for two consecutive days. Related Reading: Bitcoin Goes Beast Mode—Mining Power Tops 1 Zetahash In First-Ever Surge He concluded that “turning this level into a confirmed resistance would send price into additional downside continuation,” which targets the pre-halving highs price range between $69,000 and $72,000. As of this writing, BTC trades at $79,200, a 1% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Amid the market retrace, Aptos (APT) has seen an 8% decline in the past 24 hours, falling below a key support zone for the second time this week. Despite the correction, some analysts consider that the cryptocurrency could be poised for a breakout soon. Related Reading: Ethereum Trading In ‘No Man’s Land’, But Analyst Says Breakout Is A Matter Of Time Aptos Loses Macro Range Lows During the March retraces, Aptos fell below a crucial support level for the first time since August 2024 but recovered 24% near the end of the month. However, APT followed the rest of the market and dumped 11% to close the March below key levels. Analyst Rekt Capital noted that APT closed last month below its Macro Range Low of $5.44 for the first time. The cryptocurrency has been trading within the $5.45-$17 price range since 2023, retesting the range lows two times before. Historically, “APT tends to develop bases here in the form of downside wicks for three-month periods,” he explained, adding that the cryptocurrency seems to be developing a third three-month base, with the difference that it has closed below this range for the first time in the monthly timeframe. Following this performance, Aptos will need to reclaim the $5.44 level as support “to end this Monthly close as a downside deviation” and “avoid a bearish retest here.” Previously, the analyst suggested that holding this level could reverse ATP’s price action in the coming months, as it has done with the other clusters. Additionally, he pointed out the previous consolidations included a “downside wicking below support.” In his recent analysis, Rekt Capital considers that APT’s daily bullish divergence “is still something worth watching” as the cryptocurrency’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) continues to form Higher Lows despite the recent downside deviation, and its price “is trying to transition away from Lower Lows into a new Higher Low.” According to the analyst, “a clear market structure is developing here, and a breakout from it would validate the Bull Div and set APT up for a reclaim of the Macro Range Low of $5.44,” which is key for a bullish rally. APT To Reclaim $6.5 Resistance? Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems highlighted Aptos’ strength amid the market volatility, which saw Bitcoin (BTC) drop from $88,000 to $81,000 in the past 24 hours. APT dropped from the $5.40 mark to the $4.95 support. The analyst considers that a retest of the local range lows could be necessary before the cryptocurrency aims for the next crucial level, as the current price zone has been tested many times. Related Reading: ACT Memecoin Crashes 50% As Several Altcoins Suddenly Tank On Binance – What’s Going On? Moreover, a reclaim of the $5.44 range could see the APT surge another 20% to the $6.5 resistance lost two months ago. Another market watcher suggested that Aptos is “showing potential for a bullish breakout as it trades within a descending channel.” Per the chart, the cryptocurrency has been trading within a descending channel since early February, testing the channel’s lower and upper boundaries throughout March. “After testing the lower trendline, it may be finding support, and a break above the upper resistance will signal a significant rally,” the analyst concluded. As of this writing, Aptos trades at $5.02, a 16.1% decline in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
Ethereum (ETH) continues failing to reclaim the $2,100 resistance, dropping 6% in the past week. As the second largest crypto trades within its “make or break” levels, some market watchers suggest it will continue to move sideways before another major move. Related Reading: ACT Memecoin Crashes 50% As Several Altcoins Suddenly Tank On Binance – What’s Going On? Ethereum Trades At 2023 Levels After closing its worst Q1 since 2018, Ethereum continued moving sideways, hovering between the $1,775-$1,925 price range. Amid last Monday’s recovery, Ethereum traded only 6% below its monthly opening, eyeing a potential positive close in the monthly timeframe. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency fell over 10% from last week’s high to close the first quarter 45.4% below its January opening and 18.6% from its March opening. Moreover, it registers its worst performance in seven years, recording four consecutive months of bleeding for the first time since 2018. Daan Crypto Trades noted that ETH is “still trading in no man’s land” despite its recent attempts to break above its current range. In early March, Ethereum dropped below the $2,100 mark, losing its 2024 gains and hitting a 16-month low of $1,750. The trader suggested that the crucial levels to watch are a breakdown below $1,750 or a breakout above $2,100. “Anything in between is just going to be a painful chop,” he added. Another market watcher, Merlijn The Trader, highlighted that ETH is at 2021 levels, pointing that it is trading within the breakout zone that led to Ethereum’s all-time high (ATH) but has stronger fundamentals and more institutional demand four years later. “ETH is sitting on the same monthly support that ignited the 2021 bull run. Hold it, and $10K is in play. Lose it… and things get ugly,” he detailed. More Chop Before ETH’s Next Move? Analyst VirtualBacon considers that Ethereum will continue to trade within its current price range for the time being. He explained that ETH’s price has fallen to retest the last bear market resistance levels, as it has erased all its gains since November 2023. The analyst considers this zone a “good value range” but doesn’t expect the cryptocurrency to break out “right away.” However, he added that a bullish breakout is “simply a matter of time” in longer timeframes. “Ethereum always catches up when the Fed pivots and the global liquidity index beings to uptrend. That’s when you see the ETH/BTC ratio start to turn up again, leading the rest of the altcoin market,” he concluded. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin (BTC) Poised For A Q2 Recovery?

On Tuesday morning, several altcoins nosedived up to 50% on global crypto exchange Binance, sparking confusion among investors. Several community members shared theories for the incident, speculating that recent adjustments in the exchange’s position limits could be responsible. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin (BTC) Poised For A Q2 Recovery? Analyst Points To 2017 Similarities Altcoins See Q2 Opening Crash On Binance Multiple altcoins saw a peculiar start to Q2 after their price tanked on Binance on Tuesday morning. The crypto community raised the alarm after Solana-based memecoin and AI Agent token Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) plunged around 50% in less than an hour. The cryptocurrency, which once had a market capitalization of $722 million, has moved sideways for most of March, hovering between the $0.18-$0.19 price range until today. In 30 minutes, ACT crashed from the $0.189 mark to the $0.087 level, registering a 53% fall. Similarly, the DEXE, KAVA, DF, HIPPO, BANANAS31, LUMIA, TST, and QUICK tokens also recorded a sudden price drop, losing between 10% and 35% of their value in an hour. ACT’s team acknowledged the incident, stating, “Dear ACT community, we want to assure you that we’re fully aware of the current situation. Our team is actively investigating and working collaboratively with all relevant parties to address this matter.” The post also noted they had begun developing a response plan alongside their trusted partners. Analyst Altcoin Sherpa suggested that a price bounce for ACT seems likely but noted that “ppl might realize that they don’t really want to hold this coin and view this as a forced rebalance event. Nobody buying. Nobody selling.” No April Fool’s Joke As Binance posted about a different April Fool’s joke, investors started to speculate what caused the sudden bleeding, with some joking that the prank had gone too far. The crypto community guessed that Wintermute was responsible for the Altcoin massacre, as it reportedly liquidated several of its positions today. Nonetheless, the trading firm’s CEO, Evgeny Gaevoy, denied the rumors, stating, “Not us fwiw, but also curious about that postmortem.” Meanwhile, Lookonchain suggested that Binance’s recent update of its leverage and margin tiers on several altcoins, including ACT, could have been the reason for the token crash. Six hours later, Binance Customer Support replied to Wu Blockchain’s report, revealing that the reason for the dump was that three VIP users cross-sold tokens worth 514,000 USDT in the spot market and a non-VIP user transferred a large amount of ACT from other platforms and sold 540,000 USDT worth of the token in a short period. As a result, the cryptocurrency’s price dropped, which led some users to close their futures contracts, triggering the decline of other altcoins. The crypto exchange pointed out that they recently took “the initiative to take preventive measures to adjust leverage multiples downward.” Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Calls Dogecoin Chart A ‘Beauty’ As Key Indicators Align “Binance Contracts has recently issued consecutive adjustment announcements for the ACTUSDT perpetual contract, during which there was no market movement and no active reduction of any user’s position,” the post detailed.

As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to reclaim the $84,000 barrier again, the flagship crypto risks closing the Month in red numbers. Some analysts suggest that BTC’s Q2 performance could mimic its 2017 rally. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Confirms Breakout From Ascending Triangle, Target Set At $7,800 Bitcoin Retests $84,000 A week ago, Bitcoin saw a star-of-week pump to retest the $88,000-$89,000 resistance zone. The flagship cryptocurrency surged to a two-week high of $88,765, hovering between the $85,000 to $88,000 price range for most of the week. However, as the weekend approached, BTC lost its range, falling to $84,000 on Friday and continuing to dip over the next two days. Bitcoin saw an 8.2% weekly drop during the early Monday hours, hitting $81,278 before recovering. After hitting its lowest price in two weeks, the largest crypto by market capitalization bounced from the range lows, nearing the key $84,000 barrier again. This zone has been a crucial resistance level since Bitcoin lost its post-November breakout range a month ago. Since then, BTC has failed to maintain this level for significant periods. Amid the market correction, trader Daan Crypto Trades noted that Bitcoin has created another CME Gap, becoming the fifth consecutive week that a gap has been created due to price movement during the weekend, with all the previous ones being closed “relatively quickly.” This week’s CME gap, between $82,500 and $84,100, was almost filled after this morning’s rally. However, analyst Rekt Capital pointed out, “BTC will need to rally more than that to try to seriously challenge for a reclaim of the recently lost Higher Low,” at around $85,000. BTC To Consolidate For Longer? Ted Pillows suggested BTC’s performance could see a Q2 recovery based on its 2017 price action. The analyst highlighted that during US president Donald Trump’s first term, Bitcoin’s “real rally” didn’t start until 2017’s second quarter. Per the post, “BTC’s real gains during Trump’s first presidency started after Q1 2027. For the first two months, BTC just consolidated in a range similar to now.” Then, it started to gain momentum in April, pumping from $1,400 to $20,000 until December 2017. Ted considers that if Bitcoin continues to follow its 2017 path, it could see a massive rally toward a new all-time high (ATH) later this year. It’s worth noting that Q2 has historically been mostly favorable for BTC, CoinGlass data shows. Meanwhile, Rekt Capital also suggested that Bitcoin will likely continue consolidating a little bit longer after the recent price correction. The analyst pointed out that BTC failed to confirm its breakout from its triangular market structure. He previously explained that, over the past six weeks, BTC has been consolidating between the two biggest bull market Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), the 21-week and 50-week EMAs, in a “very similar fashion to mid-2021.” Related Reading: XRP & These Altcoins Share The Same TA Fate—What’s Coming? The analyst added that in mid-2021, “Bitcoin didn’t break from this similar triangular market structure right away either, upside-wicking towards and into the 21-week EMA but ultimately rejecting from there to experience additional consolidation between the two EMAs.” This could suggest that the flagship crypto “is sentenced to a bit more consolidation between the two EMAs” before attempting to “kickstart an uptrend continuation towards the Re-Accumulation Range Low of $93,500.” As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $83,297, a 1% increase in the daily timeframe.

Amid today’s market correction, Chainlink (LINK) has lost its recent gains, falling back to a crucial support level. An analyst suggests a monthly close above its current range could position the cryptocurrency for a 35% surge. Related Reading: SUI Reclaims Key $2.40 Support Amid Breakout – Is A New High Coming? Chainlink Retest Crucial Price Zone Chainlink has retraced 9.1% in the past 24 hours to retest the key $14 support zone again. The cryptocurrency surged 15.7% from last Friday’s lows to hit an 18-day high of $16 on Wednesday, momentarily recovering 35% from this month’s low. However, the recent market correction halted the momentum of most cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling back to the $83,700 mark and Ethereum (ETH) dipping to the $1,860 support zone. Today, LINK dropped from $15 to $14.07, losing all its Wednesday gains. Previously, analyst Ali Martinez noted that the cryptocurrency has been in an ascending parallel channel since July 2023. Chainlink has hovered between the pattern’s upper and lower boundary for the last year and a half, surging to the channel’s upper trendline every time it retested the lower zone before dropping back. Amid its recent price performance, the cryptocurrency is retesting the channel’s lower boundary, suggesting a bounce to the upper range could come if it holds its current price levels. Meanwhile, Rekt Capital highlighted that the token is testing its multi-month symmetrical triangle pattern, which could determine the cryptocurrency’s next move. As the analyst explained, Chainlink consolidated inside a “Macro Triangular market structure” for most of 2024 before breaking out of the pattern during the November market rally. During the Q4 2024 breakout, the cryptocurrency hit a two-year high of $30.9 but failed to hold this level in the following weeks. As a result, it has been in a downtrend for the past three months, with LINK’s price falling back into the Macro Triangle. “The main goal for LINK here is to retest the top of the pattern to secure a successful post-breakout retest,” Rekt Capital detailed, adding, “It’s possible this is a volatile post-breakout retest.” LINK Needs To Hold This Level Rekt Capital pointed out that, historically, Chainlink has had downside deviations into this price range: “Back in mid-2021, LINK produced a downside deviation into this price area in the form of multiple Monthly downside wicks.” Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency is downside deviating “but in the form of actual candle-bodies closes rather than downside wicks” this time. The analyst also highlighted that, like in 2021, LINK is trading within a historical demand area, at around $13-5 and $15.5, testing this zone as support. Based on this, the cryptocurrency must successfully hold this area to “position itself for upside going forward.” Related Reading: Is Solana Preparing For Rally To $180? SOL’s Social Sentiment Hits Historic Positive Levels Moreover, the retest is key for reclaiming the top of its triangular market structure. Breaking and recovering that level would “exact a successful post-breakout retest” and enable the price to target the $19 resistance in the future. The analyst concluded that if LINK closes the month above the triangle top, it “would position price for a successful retest, despite the downside deviation.” As of this writing, Chainlink trades at $14.09, a 6.9% drop in the monthly timeframe.

Sui Network’s native token, SUI, has reclaimed a crucial level after its 10% price breakout. The token has shown bullish momentum over the past few days, climbing to weekly highs on Wednesday. Various market watchers suggested the momentum could send the cryptocurrency to new highs in Q2. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin (BTC) Could See A 14% Price Jump If This Level Is Reclaimed SUI Reclaims Key Breakout Level Today, SUI, one of the cycle’s leading tokens, retested the $2.60 resistance for the first time in nearly three weeks after reclaiming a key support zone on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency has lost several crucial levels during the Q1 2025 retraces, falling over 50% from its January all-time high (ATH) to a four-month low of $1.96. However, it has regained momentum amid institutional adoption, including its partnership with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), US President Donald Trump’s crypto venture, and Canary Capital’s recent filing of a Form S-1 for an SUI spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The cryptocurrency moved toward the $2.45 mark in the following days, suggesting that holding this level could send SUI to the next crucial barrier. After pulling back to $2.20, the token’s momentum resumed on Saturday, rising 13% in the past week after printing five consecutive green candles. Amid its performance, some analysts noted that SUI reclaimed the key $2.40 support, which served as a significant resistance during the post-US elections breakout and a bounce zone during the February retraces. Analyst Michäel van de Poppe suggested that the token is “one to keep an eye on,” highlighting that the “tremendous” retest of the high timeframe support “indicates that we’re likely going to expand to the upside from here.” Is It Ready For New Highs? In the past 24 hours, SUI surged 10% to the $2.60 resistance, hitting a 20-day high of $2.65 on Wednesday before retracing. As various market watchers pointed out, this price action has seen the token break out of a multi-month falling wedge pattern. A retest and confirmation of the breakout level could propel the token to attempt to reclaim its two-month downtrend. Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems considers that the cryptocurrency should be “ready to go” to the $2.80 mark, based on its “bullish market structure and nice strength.” Previously, Ali Martinez suggested that after reclaiming the $2.45 level, SUI would be poised for a 15% move to this area.

Since 2023, SUI has broken out of a multi-month falling wedge twice, in October 2023 and August 2024, which propelled the cryptocurrency to new ATHs in the coming months. Meanwhile, trader Crypto Bullet noted that the cryptocurrency has recently reclaimed the 365-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) after trading below it over the past few weeks. According to the trader, holding this level as support could impulse the token’s rally toward its January high of $5.37. As of this writing, SUI trades at $2.58, a 5.5% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
