THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

As the market recovers, Bitcoin (BTC) is kicking off the weekend on a positive note by reclaiming another crucial support level. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is setting the stage for a new price discovery rally, which could start sooner than expected. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) ‘Uptober’ Begins With $220 Retest – Is It Ready For Second ‘Expansion Wave’? Bitcoin Eyes Third Price Discovery Uptrend On Friday, Bitcoin jumped nearly 3% to hit a two-month high of $123,894. The flagship crypto has seen a massive recovery from last week’s correction, surging 14% from the local lows. Earlier this week, BTC reclaimed the $115,000-$117,000 area, which served as a key support zone during the early Q3 rally, before surging to the crucial $120,000 barrier on Thursday. Amid its bullish performance, analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that Bitcoin was able to secure a daily close above this level, skipping a retest of the recently reclaimed $117,000 mark. He explained that a daily close above $120,000, followed by a successful post-breakout retest, has historically preceded a move to the $123,00 resistance, with a nearly identical daily performance leading to the mid-August all-time high (ATH) of $124,474. Meanwhile, market watcher Ted Pillows noted that if BTC successfully holds the $120,000-$121,000 zone, it will reach highs soon. On the contrary, he warned that losing this area could lead to a retest of the $117,000 as support. Nonetheless, he considers that Bitcoin’s price might not see another massive correction in the short term, as history suggests the cryptocurrency might have bottomed during the late-September pullback. “BTC historically bottoms in September. Since 2016, Bitcoin has bottomed 7 times in September. (…) Historically, this means BTC bottom is most likely in and it won’t go lower than $107K,” he asserted. Analyst Crypto Jelle forecasted that price discovery could resume as early as next week, pointing out that holding the $120,000 level as support over the weekend and closing above it in the weekly timeframe would set a strong base for the long-awaited Q4 rally. Is BTC’s Top A Few Weeks Away? As the flagship cryptocurrency is on the “cusp of entering Price Discovery Uptrend 3,” Rekt Capital also shared a potential timeline for Bitcoin’s cycle top based on its previous post-halving performances. The analyst previously shared his 2025 roadmap for BTC’s rally, suggesting that it could see an extended cycle or potentially enjoy a third Price Discovery Uptrend before the bear market, which would push the cycle peak into deeper stages of 2025. In a video analysis, he suggested that BTC’s top could arrive in the next two weeks to two months. As he explained, Bitcoin peaked around 520 days after the 2016 Halving event, while it topped nearly 550 days after the 2020 event. If it had repeated its 2017 timeline, BTC would have had to peak around September, meaning that the August ATH was the cycle top. The analyst dismissed this possibility, suggesting that a repeat of its 2021 price action was more likely. In this case, BTC would need to peak in the next two weeks.

This timeline would follow the theory that the cycle peak timeline is increasing by 30 days at a time, signaling that this cycle’s peak would happen around the 580-day mark post-halving. “If we are looking at the four-year cycle, the most important thing is to just wrap everything up in candle one. That’s historically what’s been the case,” he explained. “So, at least two weeks and maybe still a month and a half to a maximum of two months. But beyond that, I don’t think we’ll be lengthening.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

As the crypto market kicks off October with a remarkable recovery, Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to turn the $4,500 level into support after nearly two weeks. Some analysts forecast that a breakout from this crucial area could set the stage for a massive 50% rally in Q4. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) ‘Uptober’ Begins With $220 Retest – Is It Ready For Second ‘Expansion Wave’? Ethereum Retests Next Major Resistance Ethereum has bounced 17% from last week’s lows and is retesting the next crucial level to reclaim. The cryptocurrency started this week by recovering from the recent market correction, which sent its price to a multi-week low of $3,815. Since then, the King of Altcoins has reclaimed the mid-zone of its macro range and broken past a major sell wall located around the $4,200-$4,300 levels. Amid this performance, market watcher Ted Pillows highlighted that the next two major resistance levels to reclaim before a new all-time high (ATH) are $4,500 and $4,750. Similarly, Ali Martinez detailed that the $4,505 area is “one of the most important resistance levels to watch for Ethereum,” according to the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) metric. A rejection from this major level could lead to a retest of the $4,250 support, and potentially risk a new price drop if ETH breaks below it. Previously, some analysts cautioned that losing this area could open the gates for a fresh breakdown toward the macro range lows. On the contrary, reclaiming the $4,500 resistance would set the base for a challenge of the macro range highs, around the $4,800 level, in the coming weeks. Market watcher Lluciano pointed out that ETH appears to be forming a triangle formation since early August. He suggested that breaking out of this pattern could kick off a rally toward a new high above the $5,000 barrier, affirming, “Q4 is here, ETH new wave is imminent.” Meanwhile, Titan of Crypto highlighted a weekly bull flag pattern forming on ETH’s chart. According to the analyst, a breakout from the formation’s upper boundary, around the $4,500 area, could send the price into a 50% rally toward the $6,900 mark. ETH’s Weekly Close Could ‘Turn It All Around’ After closing September above the $4,100 area, analyst Rekt Capital affirmed that Ethereum is potentially developing a Monthly Bull Flag within this macro range. He explained that the cryptocurrency must reclaim the $4,200 in the higher timeframes to continue building on the formation’s base. Notably, closing the month below this level technically means ETH’s price is positioning for a bearish retest despite the current bounce, the analyst detailed, as it represents the mid-zone of the macro range. Nonetheless, Rekt Capital considers that “even though the Monthly Close wasn’t very appealing, price just needs to Weekly Close above the $4.2k mid-range to turn it all around.” He noted that the cryptocurrency displayed a similar performance in late 2021 and this past July, weekly closing above this level and post-breakout retesting it as support. This technical sequence enabled the price to reclaim the $4,600 area and position itself for new highs.

As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,502, a 4.1% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Following a massive Q3 performance, Solana (SOL) has kicked off “Uptober” with a bounce, attempting to reclaim a crucial area as support to continue its bullish rally. Some analysts have suggested that the cryptocurrency is ready to challenge the recent highs and enter a new price discovery phase. Related Reading: BNB Eyes New Highs As Price Reclaims $1,000 – Is A 30% Rally Coming? Solana Starts ‘Uptober’ In The Green After the recent market correction, Solana has started the new quarter with a 7.3% bounce from yesterday’s lows. Last week, the cryptocurrency fell from its recent highs and hit a local low of $190 after closing below the $200 support for the first time in nearly a month. Over the weekend, the altcoin reclaimed the crucial barrier and attempted to turn the $205-$210 area into support during the last two days of September. After closing the month around the $208 level, SOL’s price bounced 5.3% on Wednesday morning toward the $220 mark. Some market watchers previously noted that $218 level was the most important level for the cryptocurrency’s recovery, as the largest supply wall exists around this level. This level coincides with Solana’s $120-$220 macro range high. Analyst Crypto Jelle considers that SOL “is ready for its second expansion wave for the cycle” after months of re-accumulation, the September rally, and the successful retest of the breakout level. Amid today’s pump, the analyst affirmed that the cryptocurrency has “one last hurdle to overcome” before the rally to new highs begins. Per the post, once Solana turns the $250 level into support, the altcoins will be “in for a great end of the year.” Similarly, Altcoin Sherpa suggested that SOL will likely rally toward the $230-$235 area and above if Bitcoin (BTC) and the crypto market remain stable. Corporate Momentum, ETFs To Fuel Q4 Rally Solana’s momentum has been partially driven by growing corporate interest in the cryptocurrency, with SOL-focused Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) pouring billions of dollars into the strategies over the past few months. On October 1, Nasdaq-listed VisionSys AI Inc. announced a $2 billion SOL-based treasury strategy in partnership with Marinade Finance, Solana’s leading staking protocol. The initiative aims to “strengthen VisionSys’s balance sheet, enhance liquidity, and create long-term shareholder value through the strategic acquisition and staking of Solana (SOL),” the announcement reads. Marinade Finance will serve as VisionSys’s exclusive staking and ecosystem partner, and the program’s first phase is set to acquire and stake $500 million in SOL within the next six months. Additionally, the pending approval of multiple crypto-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has raised expectations for an October rally. In August and September, the regulatory agency pushed its final decision deadline for multiple crypto investment products, including SOL-based ETFs, between mid-October and mid-November.

Analyst Forecasts Early October Rally Amid $4,200 Retest On Monday, Senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas affirmed that “the odds are really 100% now.” “Generic listing standards make the 19b-4s and their ‘clock’ meaningless,” he explained, adding, “That just leaves the S-1s waiting for formal green light from Corp Finance. And they just submitted amendment #4 for Solana. The baby could come any day. Be ready.” As of this writing, Solana is trading at $219, a 11.1% increase in the monthly timeframe.

As the market stabilizes from last week’s correction, BNB is attempting to hold a crucial area that could set the stage for a rally, leading some analysts to suggest that the next leg up could be around the corner. Related Reading: Ethereum Ready For Round 2? Analyst Forecasts Early October Rally Amid $4,200 Retest Kazakhstan Adoption Pushes BNB To $1,000 Nearly two weeks after breaking above the $1,000 milestone for the first time, BNB is attempting to hold this key area as support following the recent market pullback. The cryptocurrency has recorded a massive multi-month rally this quarter, surging 54% since the July opening. Over the past month, the cryptocurrency has climbed 16% from the start-of-September lows, turning the crucial $800-$900 zone into support before surging toward its latest all-time high (ATH) of $1,083 nine days ago. Nonetheless, the altcoin’s massive run was halted during the end-of-month pullback, which saw most cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), hit multi-week lows. BNB dropped over 10% from last week’s high, losing the critical $1,000 breakout level on Friday. During the pullback, the altcoin retested the $930 level as support, bouncing off this level over the weekend and reclaiming the crucial barrier yesterday morning. The recent price surge was driven by Kazakhstan’s announcement of its investment in the altcoin. On Monday, Kazakhstan announced the launch of its first crypto reserve, the Alem Crypto Fund, aimed at long-term investment in digital assets. According to the statement, Binance Kazakhstan is the strategic partner of the fund, which was established by the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan. As part of the partnership, Alem Crypto Fund made BNB its first investment. Nurkhat Kushimov, General Manager of Binance Kazakhstan, stated that “The fund’s choice of BNB as its first digital asset highlights the trust in the Binance ecosystem and marks a new chapter for institutional recognition of cryptocurrencies in Kazakhstan.”   Price Discovery Continuation In Q4? It’s worth noting that the BNB Chain ecosystem also saw a strong performance, with multiple projects built on the network leading in terms of profitability. As reported by NewsBTC, BNB Chain projects led Binance Wallet’s top ten Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) list with up to 2,000x historical returns, while BSC projects led the top five Alpha trading volume rankings. Market watcher Daan Crypto Trades suggested that neither BNB nor BSC-related tokens’ rally is over yet, as the “market is eager for a narrative or chain to gamble on.” Analyst Ali Martinez affirmed that the token “still has many legs up,” suggesting that successfully holding this level could target new highs. The analyst previously stated that BNB’s price targets the $1,200-$1,300 area as part of its bullish breakout from its macro range. Turning the current area into support in the higher timeframes could set the stage for a price discovery continuation with a 20%-30% run in the coming months. On the contrary, a rejection from this level could see the price retest the $900-$930 area again.

As of this writing, BNB is trading at $1,002, a 1.3% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

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

After hitting a one-month low, Solana (SOL) has bounced from a critical support zone and is attempting to reclaim a crucial psychological barrier before potentially resuming its bullish rally. However, some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency could retest new lows if the market volatility persists. Related Reading: SUI Retest Ascending Triangle Support Amid 8% Drop – Bounce Or Breakdown Next? Solana Price Retest Major Support On Thursday, Solana lost the $200 level as support after closing the day below this level for the first time in nearly a month. The cryptocurrency has been trading inside the $120-$220 price range since early February, finally breaking out of this range in mid-September. A week ago, the market’s bullish momentum and strong corporate treasury purchases pushed SOL’s price to an eight-month high of $253, leading many investors to anticipate the long-awaited rally to higher levels. However, this week’s pullbacks have sent most cryptocurrencies below crucial levels, with Bitcoin and Ethereum dropping to $108,000 and $3,800, respectively. Meanwhile, Solana has seen a 20% decline in the weekly timeframe, losing the $200 level. Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems asserted that SOL was “in freefall after that nasty deviation back into the range.” If Solana fails to hold the current $190-$200 range, the analyst considers it would be “very difficult” to find strong support before the demand zone around $150, a level not seen since the start of July. Similarly, market watcher Wise Crypto also noted that Solana could be in a make-or-break retest, as it retests a critical support zone and the overall market still shows some signs of weakness. According to the post, SOL has been trading within an ascending channel since April, bouncing between the upper and lower boundaries throughout this period. If the market’s recent volatility continues, the cryptocurrency could retest the channel’s support zone, around the $177-$188 levels. “If this zone breaks, the next major support is down below $150 — so caution is key,” they added. SOL Bounce Eyes $200 Reclaim Despite the volatility, Wise Crypto also signaled that “Stochastic RSI is signaling oversold conditions, suggesting a potential bounce could be on the horizon.” As a result, if SOL holds this support area, a move toward the $250 barrier could follow. As Solana approached its major ascending trendline, Crypto Batman noted that SOL has bounced from this level each time it has retested it, suggesting that “In the midst of chaos, you have to look at things from a different perspective.” Notably, SOL bounced from the recent lows on Friday Morning and is currently attempting to break above the $200 psychological barrier. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency must daily close above this key level and continue to hold it over the weekend to transform the pullback into a downside wick deviation in the weekly timeframe. Related Reading: Avalanche (AVAX) Price Holds Key Support, But Analyst Warns Rally Could Be At Risk Ted Pillows added that if this level is reclaimed, the $208-$210 area, near the 10-day Moving Average (MA), would be the next target. According to the market watcher, reclaiming and holding above that level would be the first bullish sign, which could potentially push Solana’s price toward $216–$220, near the 30-day MA. As of this writing, SOL trades at $199, a 1.4% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

SUI is attempting to hold a crucial area as support amid the recent market downturn. Some analysts suggest the altcoin’s price is retesting a make-or-break level that will determine the direction of its next big move. Related Reading: Avalanche (AVAX) Price Holds Key Support, But Analyst Warns Rally Could Be At Risk SUI Hits Two-Month Low On Thursday, SUI is retesting the local range lows after an 8% daily drop from the $3.40 area to a key support level. The recent market pullbacks have momentarily halted most bullish rallies, sending leading cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH) to an eight-week low of $3,800. Now, SUI’s rally, which was fueled by institutional interest, Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), and positive developments for the network, has declined over 21% in the weekly timeframe. The cryptocurrency has seen a strong three-month rally following its early Q3 breakout to its multi-month high of $4.44. The altcoin has hovered between the $3.10-$4.00 levels over the past three months, attempting to break out of this range multiple times. Last week, SUI’s price retested this area for the third time during this period, but has since been rejected from the range highs after failing to hold the $3.80 mark as support. Market watcher Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that the cryptocurrency has been “stuck” inside the $3.10-$4.30 range since May, briefly losing the support area during the June pullback. According to the trader, the five-month consolidation should eventually lead to a big price move out of the range.  “As we approach the range low/support, it’s back on my radar for a potential range play,” he noted, adding that it would need a strong bounce from this area to hold the macro range. On the contrary, Daan suggested that “If it sits there and doesn’t do anything, then that’s a red flag,” as it would risk losing the crucial multi-month support and retracing toward the June lows. Price Retests Make-Or-Break Level Amid the retracement, SUI is also retesting another crucial support. As multiple analysts pointed out, the cryptocurrency is trading within a textbook ascending triangle pattern on a higher timeframe. Notably, the price has been compressing within the pattern’s upper and lower boundaries since early Q2. Throughout the multi-month consolidation, each time the altcoin has bounced from the ascending support, it has retested the flat upper trendline. Ali Martinez highlighted that a successful breakout from the bullish formation’s resistance line around the $4 barrier would set the stage for a retest of its all-time high (ATH) level of $5.35 and an overall 75% rally toward the $7 area. Similarly, analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems affirmed that “it’s really time to pay attention” to the bullish formation, as the price compression continues and a break from the pattern seems imminent.

Failing to maintain this key support, currently located around the $3.10 area, could invalidate the setup and lead to a retest of the $2.40-$2.90 zone. As of this writing, SUI is trading at $3.15, a nearly 10% decline in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

After losing the $4,450-$4,500 area during the recent market downturn, Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to hold a crucial level as support. Some analysts suggest that the leading altcoin is poised to bounce soon as crypto treasury companies continue to bet on the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stuck In Neutral While Markets Roar — Analyst Explains Why Ethereum Eyes Rebound Amid $4,100 Retest On Monday, Ethereum’s price dropped around 7% during the largest liquidation event of the year so far. Notably, the crypto market saw more than $1.7 billion in leveraged positions liquidated over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGlass data. ETH led the losses with nearly $500 million in liquidations, followed by Bitcoin’s $284 million. This dragged the King of Altcoin’s price to the crucial $4,100 support for the first time since August, hitting a one-month low of $4,077. Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that today’s event was the largest nominal Ethereum liquidation since 2021, when the cryptocurrency’s price dropped around 45% in a single day. However, various market watchers noted that the price decline was relatively tame compared to previous liquidations of this scale. As the second-largest cryptocurrency dropped to the $4,100 support, some analysts suggested that Ethereum is gearing up for a rebound. Merlijn The Trader affirmed that ETH is “following the blueprint” to a five-digit target. Per the trader, the cryptocurrency rallied to its previous all-time high (ATH) of $4,800 after breaking out of a multi-year bullish pattern. Following its breakout from an Adam and Eve formation in 2021, the leading altcoin retested the level as support and consolidated around this area for three months before the next leg up. This time, Ethereum displays a new textbook setup with a multi-year descending triangle formation, which was broken out of last month and is currently being retested as support. According to the market watcher, ETH could see a 2021-like breakout toward the $10,000 barrier. Nonetheless, Ted Pillows asserted that the altcoin must hold the $4,100 area as support for a short-term bounce. “If this level is lost, Ethereum will drop towards the $3,700-$3,800 level,” the analyst warned. BitMine Holds 2% Of ETH Supply Despite the market downturn, corporations continue to bet on the second-largest cryptocurrency for their Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategies. BitMine, the second-largest crypto treasury, revealed that it has increased its ETH holdings to nearly 2.5 million tokens over the past week, as part of its goal to hold 5% of Ethereum’s total supply. BitMine now owns over 2% of the supply with 2,416,054 ETH, solidifying its position as the largest ETH Treasury in the world. According to the Monday announcement, the company now holds $11.4 billion in assets, including the 2.4 million ETH tokens, 192 Bitcoin (BTC), $175 million stake in Eightco Holdings for its “Moonshot” initiative, and unencumbered cash of $345 million. Additionally, the company is the 24th most traded stock in the US, with an average daily volume of $3.5 billion, according to 5-day average data from Fundstrat. Related Reading: Solana Faces Deadly Selling Pressure After 312,233 SOL Deposit Into Coinbase – Here’s The Value BitMine’s chairman, Thomas “Tom” Lee, stated that the company continues “to believe Ethereum is one of the biggest macro trades over the next 10-15 years,” adding that “Wall Street and AI moving onto the blockchain should lead to a greater transformation of today’s financial system. And the majority of this is taking place on Ethereum.” As of this writing, ETH is trading at $4,145, an 8% decline in the weekly timeframe.

Charles Hoskinson has affirmed that Cardano (ADA) will steal the crypto spotlight as the altcoin attempts to hold a crucial level as support. Some analysts believe the cryptocurrency is preparing for a massive rally in the coming months. Related Reading: SUI Breakout In The Horizon? Price Eyes $4 Retest As Momentum Builds ADA Holds Key Support Zone Following Thursday’s market rally, Cardano has seen its price retrace 4% in the last 24 hours, failing to reclaim the range high for the second time over the past week. The altcoin has been trading between $0.72-$0.96 since July, hitting a local high of $1.01 last month. Despite the dip, ADA has held the $0.85-$90 zone as support, attempting to stabilize around this area throughout Friday morning. Analyst Sebastian suggested that the cryptocurrency must “start setting a new higher high, otherwise we could find ourselves in a head and shoulders pattern, which could result in a bigger retrace.” Cardano has been trading above an ascending support trendline since early August, bouncing from this key level twice this month. To the analyst, ADA’s trend will remain bullish as long as the price holds the trendline. On the contrary, a breakdown from this level could see the altcoin retrace to the macro support zone, between $0.50-$0.60. Market Watcher Altcoin Gordon pointed out that ADA recently broke out of its multi-month descending resistance after reclaiming the $0.85 level last week. Since then, the cryptocurrency has retested the trendline area as support, confirming the breakout. To Gordon, if the price continues to hold above this level, Cardano could see “a HUGE move to the upside.” Meanwhile, analyst Crypto Kid asserted that Q4 seasonality could see the altcoin repeat its 2024 end-of-year playbook. Notably, ADA broke out of its nine-month downtrend line during the November 2024 run, rallying 270% to its three-year high of $1.32. Now, the cryptocurrency displays a similar price action, retesting this level in the weekly timeframe multiple times over the past two months. “I’m betting on ADA repeating its history by breaking out October/November this year,” the analyst wrote. Cardano ETFs To Fuel Q4 Rally? In a late Thursday post, Cardano’s founder Charles Hoskinson also shared a bold outlook, affirming that it is “going to break the internet.” Despite not offering more details, the community noted that the recent growing momentum of crypto-based Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) could propel ADA’s rally. On Friday, Grayscale Investments launched its Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF (GDLC), the first multi-asset crypto ETF launched in the US. The investment product holds the five largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization: Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the digital asset manager’s request to convert its Grayscale Digital Large Cap (GDLC) Fund into an ETF earlier this week. Since the announcement, investors consider the odds of a spot ADA ETF approval are higher. Related Reading: Bitcoin Set Up For ‘Promising’ Q4, Next Two Weeks Could Be Decisive According to data from the prediction platform Polymarket, the chances of the SEC approving the investment product in 2025 have increased from 79% on Wednesday to 91%. Notably, the regulatory agency delayed the deadline for Grayscale’s spot Cardano Exchange-Traded Fund in August, postponing the final decision date to October 26, 2025. Many expect that most spot crypto-based ETFs will be approved at the start of Q4, which could fuel a “spicy end-of-year” for many altcoins, including ADA. As of this writing, Cardano is trading at $0.89, a 1% decline in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

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

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

As the overall market continues to move sideways, Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to reclaim its local range highs as support. After short-term volatility, fueled by the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) rate cut, the cryptocurrency could be poised to close the month on a positive note. Related Reading: BNB Chain Projects Lead Binance Wallet With 2,000x IDO Returns Bitcoin Nears Multi-Month Bullish Run On Wednesday, Bitcoin retested the $117,000 resistance for the first time in nearly a month before being rejected. The cryptocurrency has been hovering between the $107,000-$116,000 levels since late August, falling to the local lows at the start of September. Amid the retracement, investors expected to see another “Rektember,” as it has historically been one of BTC’s weakest months. Notably, CoinGlass data shows that BTC’s returns during September have mostly been red throughout the years, with an average negative return of 2.99%. However, the flagship crypto’s price has had a positive streak over the last two years, recording returns of 3.91% and 7.29% in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Analyst Crypto Jelle suggested that with less than two weeks of the month, Bitcoin appears to be setting up for a multi-month green run. Last week, BTC recovered from the early September dip, breaking out of the crucial $114,000 level and turning it into support during the weekend. As a result, the cryptocurrency currently has a positive return of 6.35%, its second-best September, according to the analytics platform. Jelle noted that “a green September has historically resulted in the next 2, 3, or even 6 consecutive months closing in the green too.” Based on this, he suggested that if Bitcoin keeps its positive performance for the rest of the month, “Q4 looks very promising for BTC.” BTC Retests Key Area Amid Volatility Analyst Rekt Capital pointed out that Bitcoin had a weekly Close above $114,000 and is retesting this area as support throughout this week’s pullbacks. This could lead to volatile downside wicks below this crucial level if this week’s close occurs above $114,000. On the contrary, failing to hold this level in the weekly timeframe could jeopardize BTC’s chances of a third price discovery uptrend. Overall, BTC needs to retest and hold $114k as support on the Weekly and any downside volatility below it would likely end up as a wick by the end of the week with the new Weekly Close. Multiple market watchers anticipated some volatility in the short term, as the Federal Reserve was expected to announce its first interest rate cut of the year. Altcoin Sherpa affirmed that “25bps is the expectation here” as “25 bps = Business as Usual but UP.” He added that this decision would likely result in a dip to the range lows or a choppy performance and “then higher in late Sept/ early October.” On Wednesday afternoon, the Fed lowered its rates by 25 basis points to a new range of 4.00% to 4.25%, marking the first rate cut since December 2024.

BTC retested the $114,000 support and $116,000 resistance immediately after the announcement, before stabilizing around the $115,500 level.

As the BNB’s price continues to soar, BNB Chain projects are leading Binance Wallet’s top ten Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) list with up to 2,000x historical returns. Related Reading: Helius Joins Solana Treasury Trend With $500 Million Funding For New DAT Strategy BNB Chain Projects Top Binance Wallet The BNB Chain ecosystem has seen a strong performance recently, with the Binance Wallet leading among IDO launchpads in terms of profitability, driven by the massive returns of various projects built on the network. According to CryptoRank data, the Binance Wallet has a current Return of Investment (ROI) of 4,495% and an all-time high (ATH) return of 7,976%, surpassing most IDO launchpads in multiple timeframes. Additionally, seven of the top ten tokens with the ATH IDO returns on the Binance Wallet are BNB Chain projects, with historical returns ranging from 20x to 2,000x. Decentralized derivatives exchange MYX Finance has seen a 2,102x ATH IDO return, leading the BNB Chain projects on the Binance Wallet. CoinGecko data shows that the token currently has a market capitalization of $2.07 billion, ranking 72nd among all cryptocurrencies by this metric. OKZOO, a decentralized AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) network, comes second with a 413x return, followed by Alaya AI’s 40x, Myshell’s 36.8x, RICE AI’s 34.5x, Elderglade’s 24.5x, and Lorenzo’s 22x. Meanwhile, multiple BNB Chain projects among the top 20 tokens by IDO return in the Binance Wallet have achieved returns of over 15x, including Meet48, MilkyWay, Allo, Particle, and Bubblemaps. Dune data also shows that nearly two-thirds of Binance Alpha’s over 300 launched projects are BNB Chain tokens. Notably, the top five Alpha trading volume rankings are BSC projects, while eight of the top ten are from the BSC ecosystem. BNB’s Price Ready For $1,000? While the ecosystem surges, BNB, the network’s native token, continues its massive rally. The cryptocurrency is trading just 1.5% below its recent ATH and nearing the next crucial milestone, the $1,000 barrier. After hitting its previous ATH in August, the token traded within the $840-$900 area, but retested the lows during the start-of-September retrace. Its price broke out of the three-week range on Friday, turning the upper boundary into support over the weekend. On Sunday, BNB’s price surged to its $943 ATH before retracing to the $920-$935 local area. Market watcher CW noted that the cryptocurrency had formed a buying wall around $910, which served as support during the Monday retracement. Yesterday, the cryptocurrency was rejected from the local high and fell out of its two-day range, retesting the $910 level before bouncing. BNB reclaimed the $920 support and broke out of the $935 resistance level again on Tuesday morning, currently attempting to turn it into support. Related Reading: Bitcoin Risk Index Signals Stability: All Eyes On Fed Decision A successful breakout from this level would set the stage for a price discovery rally continuation, which targets the $1,300 mark, according to analyst Ali Martinez. On the contrary, a new rejection of this level could see the price retest the range lows again, and risk a drop to the $900 breakout level. As of this writing, BNB is trading at $936, a 7% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

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

Additionally, the company behind the Avalanche Network also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement with WeBlock to push Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization and stablecoins in South Korea. As of this writing, Avalanche trades at $29.04, a 22.7% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

After retesting the range lows, Bitcoin (BTC) has closed the week above a key area, momentarily preventing a breakdown to lower levels. Some market watchers suggested that reclaiming the local range highs this week will set the stage for another leg up, but an analyst warned of potential volatility in the coming days. Related Reading: Worldcoin Jumps 42% Following Eightco’s Announcement Of First WLD Treasury Strategy Bitcoin Holds Crucial Weekly Support As the market moves sideways, Bitcoin has continued to trade within its local range between the $108,250-$111,140 levels since the start of the month. The cryptocurrency has shown mixed signals since the second half of August, failing to hold the crucial $109,000 level during the previous week. Analyst Rekt Capital asserted that BTC was showing “early signs of weakness,” and could see a bearish confirmation if it failed to hold this key level in the weekly timeframe. However, the flagship crypto surged to the range’s high over the past few days and closed the week at around $111,137, averting the potential breakdown in the short-term timeframe. “Bitcoin indeed didn’t fully confirm the breakdown; instead, price has reclaimed the $109k level as support and is now trying to rally higher in an effort to check if $114k has turned into new resistance after being lost as support a few weeks ago,” the analyst noted. According to Rekt Capital, BTC’s retest of this level as resistance will be down to an inverse Head and Shoulders pattern forming on the daily timeframe, which has the $113,000 area as the pattern’s neckline. A daily close above this level could set Bitcoin up for a potential post-breakout retest of this zone, fueling a rally toward the key weekly resistance level. Ali Martinez also affirmed that breaking pass $113,000 would set the cryptocurrency “on track for $116,000 and possibly $119,000.” The New Key Pivot Point For BTC Rekt Capital highlighted that a daily close above this level would “also confirm that the price is going to occupy the upper half of the Daily Bollinger Bands,” as the middle band sits around the $112,000 level. “Turning the mid-point (orange) of the BBands into support tends to set price up for a move to the very top of the Upper Band, which happens to be around the $116k level,” he explained, noting that the upper band coincides with the Monthly Range High resistance level. The market watcher detailed that BTC has been consolidating within the Macro Monthly Range at $107,200-$115,711, recently bouncing from the range lows. As a result, its price “is now ready to try and challenge the Range High over time.” Bitcoin must close the week above $114,000 to retest the macro range high and build a base for a potential third Price Discovery Uptrend. “It’s all about $114k going forward as a key pivot point for price,” he concluded.

Expert Shares How Crypto ETFs, Treasuries Could Change The Market Notably, BTC attempted to break out of a key area on Tuesday morning, hitting the $113,000 mark before retracing to $110,000. Nonetheless, Ted Pillows warned that the cryptocurrency could face some volatility in the coming days as US CPI data is coming on September 11. He underscored that the last 3 CPI data resulted in a 9%-11% price drop for BTC, with August seeing the largest dip in the past few months. A similar correction could drive Bitcoin’s price to the $100,000 barrier, not seen since June. As of this writing, BTC trades at $111,276, a 1% decline in the daily timeframe.

Worldcoin (WLD) has seen a 40% daily jump following Eightco’s announcement of the first WLD treasury strategy in the world. Amid the rally, some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency could see a 200% run to the December highs. Related Reading: ‘Corporate’ Altcoin Season? Expert Shares How Crypto ETFs, Treasuries Could Change The Market Eightco Unveils First Worldcoin Treasury Strategy On Monday, public e-commerce infrastructure firm Eightco Holdings Inc. announced it has secured a $250 million private placement to implement the first-of-its-kind Worldcoin treasury strategy. According to the press release, Eightco’s capital raise involved the sale of 171.2 million shares of common stock at $1.46 per share, with an additional 13.7 million shares issued to BitMine, the largest Ethereum (ETH) treasury company, at the same price. On September 8, BitMine announced a $20 million strategic investment into Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OCTO) as part of OCTO’s $270 million private investment in public equity. BitMine’s investment marks the start of its “Moonshot” strategy, aiming to allocate 1% of the company’s balance sheet into projects to strengthen the Ethereum ecosystem and create value for BitMine equity shareholders. Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of BitMine, noted that the company “wants to support and back innovative projects that create value for the Ethereum network. As an ERC-20 native token, World is aligned with Ethereum. World’s unique zero-knowledge Proof of Human credential could be essential to future trust and safety between technology platforms and their billions of human users.” Eightco stated that proceeds from the private placement will allow the company to adopt Worldcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset. It added that the treasury may also hold ETH as a secondary reserve asset, but the primary emphasis will be on WLD. “Worldcoin will serve as the Company’s primary treasury reserve asset. In connection with the closing of the offering, the Company intends to change the Nasdaq trading symbol of its common stock to ‘ORBS’, which is expected to take effect on September 11, 2025,” the press release reads. WLD Breakout Eyes 200% Rally Following the announcement, Worldcoin broke above the $1.50 barrier, hitting a three-month high of $1.58 and nearing a crucial resistance level. The cryptocurrency has been accumulating between the $0.60-$1.60 price range for the past seven months, failing to break out of this range during the May and August rallies. However, WLD has been recently gaining momentum, with its price surging around 30% over the weekend and reclaiming the $1.00 mark. Market watcher Alpha Crypto Signals noted that Worldcoin broke out of a nearly two-month falling wedge on the daily chart, signaling a potential trend shift for the token. They highlighted that WLD reclaimed the 9 EMA after the breakout, and the push beyond key resistance levels gave bulls the upper hand, adding that “WLD buyers took control exactly as anticipated.” Meanwhile, analyst LlucianoBTC pointed out a four-month falling wedge on WLD’s chart, affirming that Worldcoin is targeting a “spectacular” rally once the breakout is confirmed. According to the chart, the cryptocurrency has broken out of the formation’s resistance at $1.20 after two failed attempts, which could send the price to last year’s highs if momentum holds. Related Reading: Ethereum Price To Clear $5,000 If This Level Is Broken Similarly, Captain Faibik asserted that Worldcoin was on the verge of a multi-year trendline breakout on the daily chart, targeting a 200% rally to the December 2024 high, around the $4.00 area. Since then, the cryptocurrency has broken out of the major resistance and is attempting to reclaim the $1.50 level as support. As of this writing, Worldcoin is trading at $1.51, a 73% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

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

As the crypto market continues to struggle, Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to hold a crucial zone as support to resume its bullish rally. However, some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency will see another choppy September before the long-awaited Q4 run. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Stays Strong As Exchange Reserves Keep Falling – Details Ethereum Party To Be Delayed? Amid the recent market correction, Ethereum closed August around the $4,390 area, recording its highest monthly close since November 2021. The end-of-month market pullback sent the King of Altcoins’ price to the $4,250 area before bouncing, a 14% drop from its recent all-time high (ATH) of $4,956. The cryptocurrency began the new month attempting to reclaim the $4,500 level as support for the third consecutive day, but failed to hold this crucial area, dropping below its monthly opening. Market watcher Cipher X highlighted that ETH has historically seen mixed performances throughout September, with more red than green price action and an average negative monthly return of 6.1%. According to CoinGlass data, Ethereum has seen double-digit negative returns five times since 2016, losing 21.65% in 2017. Meanwhile, it has only recorded a positive return in the double-digits once, with a 14.53% performance in 2016. Nonetheless, the market watcher noted that if the altcoin’s performance stumbles this month, “history suggests the real rebound could come right after.” Notably, October and November have historically been green months for ETH, with an average return of 4.7% and 7.8%, respectively. “September might be choppy but the months that follow have usually been much friendlier to ETH,” the analyst affirmed. Similarly, Bitfinex suggested that “September could mark the cyclical low point before structural drivers reassert for a Q4 recovery.” In a Monday report, the crypto exchange explained that they expect the broader market pullback to conclude relatively soon, adding that, despite the recent sell-off, institutional accumulation of ETH remains robust, while only 18.3 million ETH currently sit on exchanges. ETH Q4 Take Off Eyes New Highs Michaël van de Poppe underscored ETH’s performance, affirming that Ethereum is “on its way toward a beautiful spot to accumulate before Q4 is ready to take off.” According to the analyst, the cryptocurrency could see a 10%-20% correction this month to the $3,900-$3,400 range, which served as an accumulation zone before the August breakout. Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that ETH has been hovering between $4,300-$4,500 over the past week, consolidating in the mid-zone of its local range. The analyst warned that the lack of momentum at the start of the month could see the cryptocurrency retest the range lows, where the 200-Day Moving Average (MA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) are situated in the 4-hour chart. However, he noted that breaking out and consolidating above the local range would lead to higher levels and into its price discovery phase.

Meanwhile, market watcher Merlijn The Trader affirmed that Ethereum has entered the expansion phase as the $4,000-$4,100 zone has been retested as support throughout the recent pullbacks. Per the post, the multi-year trendline has been turned from resistance into a launchpad that will propel the cryptocurrency’s price to the $7,000 level once the breakout begins. As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,268, a 4% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

After a short-lived recovery, Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to bounce from a crucial level to reclaim the $110,000 support. However, some analysts suggest that a retest of the $90,000 level could be the next stop for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Another Short-Lived Solana Rally? Here’s Why It May Be Different This Time Bitcoin Drops To Weekly Lows Bitcoin lost the $110,000 support for the first time in nearly two months, dipping below the lower boundary of its local range, between $108,700-$119,500. The flagship crypto hit an eight-week low of $107,900 on Friday afternoon, raising concerns for its short-term rally among investors. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggested that the market is starting to show signs of fatigue, with Bitcoin Dominance displaying cracks after carrying “the bulk of the bull market momentum.” To the analyst, BTC’s current price action signals a macro trend shift, mirroring the 2021 price action and the conditions that preceded the 2021 cycle peak. At the time, the cryptocurrency hit a peak of $60,000 in April, retraced, rallied to $70,000, and set a strong bearish divergence against the Relative Strength Index (RSI) before the bear market began. This time, Bitcoin is showing the same setup that foreshadowed the end of the last cycle, with price making higher highs while the RSI makes lower lows, Martinez explained. Among other technical signals, the analyst highlighted that the MACD indicator had turned bearish this week. He detailed that this bearish crossover aligns with the price drop and reinforces the downside risks. Meanwhile, he added that the recent death cross in the Bitcoin MVRV Momentum indicator “signals a macro momentum reversal from positive to negative. This is a historically reliable warning sign of cyclical tops.” The analyst affirmed that the on-chain evidence suggests Bitcoin’s top may be in, at least temporarily, with bias shifting bearish and a risk of retesting lower support levels. Will BTC Mirror Its 2021 Drop? Martinez also noted that the $108,700 support is crucial for BTC’s short-term performance, as a weekly close below this area would confirm a deeper trend shift, which occurred in 2021. After peaking in late 2021, the flagship crypto lost its local range above the $58,000 mark, which led to a retest of the macro range’s mid-zone and an eventual drop below the macro range’s lows in the coming months. If BTC loses its immediate technical floor, the price could retest the $104,500 and $97,000 support levels, risking a drop to the mid-zone of the macro range, around the $94,000 area. Altcoin Sherpa weighed in on the cryptocurrency’s performance, stating that Bitcoin should have strong support between the $103,000-$108,000 levels, as the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) sits around the $104,000 mark. Related Reading: XRP Shows Strength Amid $3 Retest, But Analyst Warns Of Potential Correction However, analyst Ted Pillows considers that $124,000 appears to be the local top. He explained that, historically, Bitcoin’s bottoms occur after a retest of the weekly 60 EMA, which currently sits around the $92,000 support zone and has a CME gap. “In this scenario, Bitcoin will start a reversal after 3-4 weeks and a new ATH by November/December,” Ted concluded. As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $107,947, a 7.5% decline in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Solana (SOL) is attempting to reclaim a strong resistance zone for the fourth time, which has led some investors to suggest that the rally won’t last long. Nonetheless, on-chain data suggests that SOL’s next leg up could be starting. Related Reading: XRP Shows Strength Amid $3 Retest, But Analyst Warns Of Potential Correction Solana Breaks Out Of Triangle Pattern On Thursday, Solana hit a six-month high of $216 after breaking out of one of its most crucial resistance zones. The cryptocurrency bounced 16% from Monday’s lows and reclaimed the $200 barrier as support on Wednesday, closing the day above this area. SOL briefly reclaimed this level during the early August breakout, but the recent market corrections dragged its price to the $175-$195 area. Amid Thursday’s rally, market watcher Daan Crypto Trades highlighted its performance, asserting that it is “at an interesting spot.” The trader explained that Solana is trading in a multi-month rising wedge pattern, currently nearing the resistance level that has held over the months. Notably, the cryptocurrency has been rejected from the pattern’s upper boundary multiple times since July, retesting the ascending support line on each occasion. Supporting SOL’s case, Daan argued that it has “been strong on the back of treasury vehicles being spun up and potential upcoming buying + frontrunning,” noting that “rising wedges are generally leaning bearish but in bull markets it’s nothing new for these to break towards the upside instead.” Based on this and the cryptocurrency’s recent performance, he forecasted that it would reach higher levels later this year. Similarly, analyst Ali Martinez pointed out a six-month ascending triangle pattern on the altcoin’s chart, which targets the $360 area. Solana retested the pattern’s resistance three times over the past month and a half, but ultimately failed to turn the $205-$207 zone into support. As the altcoin pushed past the $210 mark, the analyst raised the question of whether the ongoing breakout attempt will be successful or if SOL’s rally would be short-lived for the fourth time. Fourth Time’s The Charm? Martinez shared multiple technical indicators that suggest Solana could finally break out of this pattern and aim for the long-awaited $300 barrier. The analyst explained that the backdrop of social sentiment and on-chain positioning differentiate the current price move from the previous attempts. Unlike the previous breakout attempts, sentiment across the community is more subdued. “Historically, euphoric sentiment above the ‘230’ index level coincided with local tops, as excessive optimism preceded retracements,” he detailed. According to the analyst’s chart, sentiment is muted this time, which suggests “skepticism rather than crowded bullish positioning.” Additionally, around $1 billion in realized profits have been booked after the surge to $212, signaling that some traders likely remain unconvinced that momentum will hold during this attempt. He also highlighted that there are significant accumulation zones below $207, with multiple support zones between $165 and $206, providing a strong base to continue rallying, which contrasts with the lack of resistance above the $212 area.

A confirmed breakout above $212–$215 on sustained volume would shift focus to the $300 target zone,” he concluded. As of this writing, Solana is trading at $212, a 17% increase in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

XRP has recovered from the recent market pullback and is attempting to confirm the $3.00 level as support. However, an analyst suggested that the cryptocurrency risks a new retest of the range lows before bullish momentum continues. Related Reading: Cardano Retests Key Support As SEC Delays ETF Decision – Is An October Rally Brewing? XRP’s Daily Close Key For Momentum XRP has reclaimed a crucial level as support while the crypto market stabilizes from this week’s market downturn. The altcoin has been trading sideways over the past week, hovering between $2.85-$3.10 range. The cryptocurrency retested the range lows, holding the lower boundary as support during the recent market volatility. Now, the price surged 7% from Monday’s lows to the $3.08 area before retracing to the $3.00 mark. On Wednesday, analyst Ali Martinez noted that XRP was rejected from local resistance, around the $3.10 area, for the third time, which could signal a new correction to the range lows similar to the previous attempts. If the altcoin fails to hold the current level as support and loses the mid-range area, its price could drop to $2.83, risking a fall below the local range and a deeper correction. On the contrary, if bullish momentum continues and the cryptocurrency breaks out of the crucial resistance, its price could rally to the August high levels, between $3.20-$3.40. Similarly, analyst Cryptoinsightuk noted that XRP had a positive daily close, adding that the “RSI crossed bullish and even throughout this pullback we’ve seen no change in structure.” Nonetheless, he suggested that the cryptocurrency needs to continue its momentum with a second day of follow-through price actions and trading volume. The market watcher asserted that a daily close above the $3.14 area will set up the stage for a rally to the $3.40 resistance in the coming weeks. Is A 2017-Like Rally Coming? After its July rally to its latest all-time high (ATH) of $3.65, the altcoin has been consolidating within a bullish pennant, with price compressing between the pattern’s resistance and support levels. Analyst GalaxyBTC also noted that XRP has been compressing between two parallel levels, repeating its 2017 playbook. Previously, the cryptocurrency hovered between the previous ATH level and the rally breakout level, which was turned into support. Following a consolidation period, the cryptocurrency broke out of this range and recorded a massive rally to its 2018 ATH. This time, XRP turned the $1.70 area into support last November and has been consolidating between this level and the previous ATH for the past eight months, which could suggest that the rally isn’t over yet. If history repeats, a massive breakout will follow once the altcoin breaks out of the previous ATH resistance and turns it into support. Related Reading: Chainlink Ready For Massive Breakout? A 15% Drop May Come First Moreover, the analyst highlighted a key level in XRP’s trading pair against Bitcoin (BTC), explaining that the 0.00003014 area has been a resistance in the XRP/BTC chart over the past six years. While the XRP/BTC pair continues to near this resistance, the market watcher considers that “the timing is perfect, as breaking out will put us well into price discovery on the USD pair.” As of this writing, XRP is trading at $3.02, a 3.3% increase in the weekly timeframe.

As the decision on Grayscale’s spot Cardano (ADA) Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) has been delayed, the altcoin is retesting a key area. Some analysts have suggested that a massive rally is brewing after the price bounced from the range lows. Related Reading: Chainlink Ready For Massive Breakout? A 15% Drop May Come First Cardano Drops As Spot ETF Gets Delayed On Tuesday, Cardano started to recover from its start-of-week correction after bouncing from a crucial area. The cryptocurrency has been trading within the $0.84-$0.96 price range since its breakout in early August, reaching a five-month high of $1.02 on August 14. During the recent market pullbacks, ADA has retested the $0.85 area as support multiple times and has been attempting to reclaim the $0.90 resistance, momentarily holding this level over the weekend. However, Monday’s correction, which saw Bitcoin drop to its lowest level in over a month, sent Cardano back to the range lows, briefly losing the $0.84 support before starting to recover. Amid the retracement, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed the deadline for Grayscale’s spot Cardano Exchange-Traded Fund for two months. “The Commission is extending the time period for approving or disapproving the proposed rule change for an additional 60 days. The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the issues raised therein,” the regulatory agency explained in the Monday filing. Accordingly, the SEC has postponed the final decision deadline to October 26, 2025. This follows the Commission’s recent two-month delays of many crypto-based ETFs. Earlier this month, the regulatory agency announced it had pushed back the decision deadline for multiple spot Solana ETFs, including Grayscale’s, to October 16. Similarly, it extended the review deadline of several spot XRP and PENGU ETFs for late October. ADA Breakout Coming Soon? Analyst Crypto Bullet highlighted that Cardano appears to be repeating its playbook from the last cycle. After the 2017-2018 run, ADA accumulated in a multi-year range, forming a double bottom pattern between 2019 and 2020. Following the late 2020 breakout, the cryptocurrency reclaimed the range’s upper boundary before retesting this level as support and starting its massive run toward ADA’s $3.09 all-time high (ATH) in the following months. According to the analyst, Cardano’s performance over this cycle has followed a similar path, with the breakout and retest from the multi-year accumulation occurring between late 2023 and early 2024. During the Q4 2024 rally, the altcoin bounced from the range’s upper boundary, and it’s currently in the re-accumulation period that would precede a massive pump in the coming months, if history repeats. To Crypto Bullet, “one last leg is coming,” with a potential final target between the $1.70-$2.10 area, according to the analyst. Meanwhile, market watcher Sebastian highlighted that ADA’s current performance will “mostly depend on what Bitcoin does,” suggesting that the flagship crypto will likely see a bigger retracement soon. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says XRP Bull Run Hasn’t Begun, Sets Course For $37 He pointed out that the altcoin has been trading within a bullish flag since the early August breakout, with the upper boundary sitting around the $0.90 area. If it doesn’t reclaim this level, the cryptocurrency would risk a pullback to the lower trendline around $0.80. However, if Cardano breaks out of the bullish formation, it could rally to the $1.20 target. As of this writing, ADA is trading at $0.87, a 4% increase in the daily timeframe.

Chainlink (LINK) is retesting a crucial support zone amid the market pullback, leading some analysts to suggest that another significant drop may be coming if the current levels don’t hold. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Head And Shoulders Pattern Signals 540% Upshoot To New All-Time Highs Chainlink Loses $25 Support On Monday, Chainlink followed the rest of the market, dropping 10% to the local range lows. The cryptocurrency hit an eight-month high of $27.87 on Friday, but ultimately failed to hold this level, retracing to the $25.5-$26.5 area over the weekend. LINK lost the recently reclaimed $25 support level, dropping to the $23.5 area in the afternoon. AltCryptoTalk noted that LINK has been trading within a rising channel for the past two weeks, explaining that the cryptocurrency remains within a crucial support zone despite the drop below $25. To the market watcher, as long as LINK holds above the support zone’s lower boundary at $23.5, “the overall bias remains bullish, and we will be looking for trend-following long setups on every bearish correction.” The analyst also highlighted that the Chainlink network is “secure, efficient, and decentralized,” which adds strength to its native token’s rally. Notably, SBI Group, one of Japan’s largest financial conglomerates with $200 billion in total assets managed, partnered with Chainlink to “power several innovative use cases centered around tokenized funds, tokenized real-world assets such as real estate and bonds, regulated stablecoins, and more.” In the Sunday announcement, the companies revealed that SBI Group and Japanese financial services companies will “leverage Chainlink services, including the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), SmartData (NAV), and Proof of Reserve to unlock secondary market liquidity and enhance the operational efficiency of tokenized assets” while ensuring privacy and compliance requirements. Is A Drop To $20 Next? Analyst Ali Martinez affirmed that Chainlink will test a key support level before a massive breakout. The market watcher highlighted a four-year symmetrical triangle formation on the altcoin’s chart, which targets a 280% increase once it breaks out. LINK has retested the pattern’s upper boundary twice since the Q4 2024 rally, briefly breaking above the crucial resistance last week. As it failed to confirm the breakout, the analyst suggested that Chainlink will experience one more dip before aiming for the $95-$100 area. Per the chart, this dip could target the next crucial support level around the $20 area, a 15% decline from current levels. Previously, analyst Rekt Capital noted that continued stability at the $23.86 level will be important, adding that a monthly close above this level is crucial for LINK’s rally. Failing to reclaim this area in the monthly timeframe could lead to a deeper pullback toward the $19.41 level, not seen since the early August breakout. Related Reading: Here’s What Powell’s Possible Rate Cuts Could Mean For The Shiba Inu Price Meanwhile, Alex Clay affirmed that Chainlink “is the next ETH,” pointing out some similarities between the two charts. According to the analyst, both cryptocurrencies have been accumulating in a multi-year triangle formation, and LINK could follow Ethereum’s steps once it officially reclaims the pattern’s resistance. Notably, after breaking out of this pattern last month, ETH confirmed the resistance as support and hit a new all-time high (ETH) last week. As of this writing, LINK is trading at $23.52, a 8.5% drop in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

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

Chainlink (LINK) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area after recovering 10%, surpassing most of the market in the past day. Some analysts suggested that the altcoin is ready to break out to new highs, but warned that a rejection from the current levels could lead to volatile retests. Related Reading: Bitcoin Risks Drop Below $110,000 Despite Bounce – Is A 15% Pullback Coming? Chainlink Reclaims Key Levels On Wednesday, Chainlink led the crypto market as it started to recover from the recent pullback, which saw most cryptocurrencies retest their range lows for the first time in two weeks. LINK recorded the second-best performance among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, with an 11% increase in the past day. Notably, the altcoin hit a six-month high of $26.76 on Monday, after recovering 14% from the weekend lows. As it hit its multi-month high, analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that Chainlink added nearly 3,000 new addresses. According to the post, 2,995 new LINK addresses were created on August 18, the highest growth in 5 months. However, the start-of-week correction halted the bullish momentum, sending the cryptocurrency’s price to retest its breakout zone, around the $23.50 mark on Tuesday. After testing this area as support, Chainlink rebounded and reclaimed the $24.50-$25 range, briefly hitting the $26.50 barrier on Wednesday morning before retracing. Analyst Rekt Capital asserted that LINK is attempting to reclaim the $23.86-$34 price area after the recent performance. He highlighted that the lows of this range have historically been a “key support and successful retests here have enabled rallies to the Range High around $34.” Chainlink’s continued stability at the $23.86 level will be crucial for the rally to the range high. The market watcher noted that volatility below this range is possible as part of a volatile retesting process. LINK’s Levels To Watch The cryptocurrency’s monthly close is one of the most important levels to watch, as closing above the range low would position Chainlink for a bullish rally continuation. On the contrary, failing to reclaim this area in the monthly timeframe could lead to a deeper pullback toward the $19.41 level, not seen since the early August breakout. Rekt Capital explained that this level “has often acted as a volatile retest zone in bullish cycles, serving as a base for successful reversals, most prominently in mid-2021,” concluding that the cryptocurrency’s next move will be determined by a reclaim of the $23.86 resistance or a volatile retest of the $19.41 support. Altcoin Sherpa suggested that Chainlink will continue its path to the $30 barrier if the flagship cryptocurrency continues its uptrend. He affirmed that if Bitcoin loses the $110,000 support, LINK will likely see another dip.

Meanwhile, market watcher CW asserted that Chainlink faces one more key area before rallying to $30. According to the post, if LINK breaks through the current sell wall, around the $26.25-$26.75 levels, it will continue its run toward the $30 resistance, where another selling wall is situated. As of this writing, Chainlink trades at $26.15, a 35% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin (BTC) is attempting to reclaim a crucial level as support after bouncing from the recent drop below $115,000. Nonetheless, some analysts warned that the cryptocurrency is entering a corrective phase with a potential 15%-25% drop. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts ‘Utility Run’ Will Send XRP Price To $100 Bitcoin Risks Drop Below $110,000 On Monday, Bitcoin fell below the $115,000 level for the first time in nearly two weeks, retesting the $114,500 support before bouncing. The flagship crypto has been hovering between its local price range since August 7, hitting its latest all-time high (ATH) of $124,200 before ultimately being rejected from the range highs. Now, some market watchers have affirmed that BTC has entered a corrective phase, which could send the cryptocurrency below other crucial support levels. Ali Martinez noted that the recent rejection “came in the form of a deviation, which often signals weakness and opens the door for deeper pullbacks.” According to the analyst, Bitcoin has been trading within the $112,000-$122,000 price range, suggesting that the local bottom is the next key support level to watch as momentum leans bearish. Notably, the cryptocurrency immediately bounced from today’s drop, reclaiming the recently lost $116,500 breakout level, and nearing the $117,000 area again. To the analyst, a confirmed rebound could reset bullish momentum, sending the price to the range highs. However, if BTC’s price drops again and the $112,000 support doesn’t hold, the cryptocurrency risks triggering a $4,000 drop to the $108,000 area. Martinez highlighted that on-chain data shows a liquidity grab between these two levels. Additionally, the Accumulation Trend Score, which dropped to 0.20, signals that holders are “redistributing their Bitcoin rather than accumulating at these levels.” Has The Price Discovery Correction Begun? Analyst Rekt Capital pointed out that BTC failed to hold the crucial $119,000 level as support on the weekly chart, closing on Sunday below its weekly bull flag pattern that had been developing since early July. According to a previous analysis, turning the pattern’s bottom into resistance would be a bearish retest that would confirm the breakdown from the pattern, and potentially lead to a new retest of the $112,000 area. Amid its recent performance, he asserted that Bitcoin has entered its second Price Discovery Correction, which has historically followed the second Price Discovery Uptrend peak, between weeks 5-7. “Interestingly, the upside wick that formed last week developed right at the finish line in Week 6 before pulling back. This upside wick was crucial because it came to save the historical cyclicality that we tend to see in price action across cycles,” the analyst explained, as the previous ATH formed in Week 2 of the second uptrend. Related Reading: Ethereum Store-of-Value Evolution: From Utility Token To Digital Reserve Asset Rekt Capital suggested that Bitcoin could be transitioning into a corrective period. Nonetheless, he noted that this corrective might not last as long as previous corrections, as at this moment of the 2017 and 2021 cycles, BTC pullbacks lasted between 1-3 weeks and were 25% and 29% deep, respectively. “In both cases, these pullbacks were shorter and shallower by the standards of the previous corrections in the respective cycles,” he detailed, concluding that BTC must “ideally resolve this pullback over the next handful of weeks and perform a relatively shallow pullback of -15% to -25%.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Amid the recent market pullback, Solana (SOL) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area to continue with its bullish rally. Some analysts have suggested that the cryptocurrency will likely break out to new highs if a key support level is held. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Remains Green Despite Market Pullback – Is It Ready For A 70% Run? Solana Back Below $200 Earlier this week, the market soared under the lead of the two largest cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $124,000, and Ethereum (ETH) hit a multi-year high of $4,788 in the early hours of Thursday. Nonetheless, higher-than-expected macroeconomic signals and the US’s decision not to purchase BTC for its Strategic Reserve sent the market into a nosedive, with most tokens bleeding throughout the day. Solana, which had just climbed to an eight-month high of $209, saw a 10% drop from the highs, retesting the recently reclaimed $190 support level. Price continues to dip after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced it had pushed back its decision on multiple Spot SOL exchange-traded funds (ETFs). “The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change, and the issues raised therein,” the regulatory agency stated. The SEC delayed the final deadline for the decision on Bitwise, 21Shares, VanEck, Grayscale, and Canary Capital Solana ETFs for two months, pushing it to October 16, 2025. Despite the delay, ETF expert James Seyffart suggested that the SEC’s decision is not a bad sign, adding that he expects standard spot SOL ETFs to be approved by mid-October “at the latest.” The altcoin dropped to the $188 area before bouncing. After the brief market recovery, SOL continued to retest the $180-$190 area, hovering between the $184-$186 support zone throughout Friday afternoon. Last Dip Before New Highs? Analyst Ali Martinez offered a positive outlook for the cryptocurrency, affirming that Solana might be offering “a final buy-the-dip chance” before a potential 100% rally from current levels. The analyst pointed to a six-month ascending triangle pattern on the altcoin’s chart, which targets the $360 area once it breaks out of the formation. Notably, SOL has retested the pattern’s resistance twice since the July breakout, with its latest rejection occurring on Thursday. Amid the recent performance, Martinez also noted that wallets holding over 10,000 SOL tokens hit a new ATH this week, with 5,224 wallets holding around $2 million worth of Solana each. Related Reading: Ethereum Eyes ‘Final Boss’ Level, But Analyst Says Weekly Close Is Key For Price Discovery Run Meanwhile, Sjuul from AltCryptoGems asserted that the cryptocurrency is “trading in a perfect uptrend, already tested the resistance at $200 three times,” highlighting SOL’s four-month ascending channel. To the market watcher, Solana will likely break out and move to ATH levels soon if it holds above the $180 level, which has been a crucial support and resistance area for the altcoin this cycle. As of this writing, SOL is trading at $184.9, a 4.7% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

After hitting a new multi-month high, Cardano (ADA) has retraced alongside the rest of the market. Some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency is ready to reclaim crucial resistance levels and hit new highs in the coming months. Related Reading: Ethereum Eyes ‘Final Boss’ Level, But Analyst Says Weekly Close Is Key For Price Discovery Run Cardano Holds Crucial Support Despite Pullback On Thursday, Cardano experienced an 11% drop after surpassing the $1.00 barrier for the first time since March. ADA’s retracement was fueled by the crypto market’s pullback, which saw massive liquidations throughout the day. According to CoinGlass data, the crypto market saw over $1.05 billion in liquidations over the last 24 hours, driven by higher-than-expected macroeconomic signals. Notably, the PPI number revealed an annual headline inflation of 3.3%, way higher than the 2.5% forecast. Additionally, the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that the US government will not be purchasing additional Bitcoin for its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), established by President Trump in March 2025. Instead, the US will stop selling its BTC holdings and continue to build up the reserve’s stash through confiscated assets. As a result, Bitcoin, which hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $124,128 on Wednesday night, retraced to the $117,000-$118,000 support zone, while the rest of the market turned red. Nonetheless, Cardano has gone against the current, becoming the only cryptocurrency in the top 50 list to remain in green despite the broader market pullback, with a 3.5% increase in the daily timeframe. In the last 24 hours, ADA has broken out of its local range, hitting a five-month high of $1.02 on Thursday morning. Amid the market drop, ADA held above its breakout level, hovering between the $0.89-$0.91 range over the past few hours, and it’s attempting to break out of its current levels. ADA To Repeat Last Cycle’s Playbook? Analyst Ali Martinez noted that ADA has been trading within a descending channel since the Q4 2024 rally, which saw the cryptocurrency hit its multi-year high of $1.32 in December. During this period, Cardano has attempted to break out of the descending resistance twice, finally passing this barrier after surging above the $0.84 mark. To the analyst, a confirmed breakout from this level targets a 70% run to $1.50. Previously, Martinez suggested that ADA is showing the same price structure as the last cycle, but it’s more gradual. Other analysts have also noted that the altcoin appears to be repeating its 2020-2021 playbook. Crypto Yhodda highlighted that after hitting its 2018 high, Cardano saw an ABC corrective wave before consolidating within an ascending broadening wedge formation for two years. The cryptocurrency consolidated near the range-high after rejection from the pattern’s resistance in 2020, and before breaking out to its 2021 ATH of $3.09. This cycle, the altcoin has repeated the same movements, accumulating within the same pattern since 2022. Since being rejected from the ascending resistance in late 2024, ADA has been trading between the mid and high zones of this pattern. Related Reading: SUI Set Up For Another Leg?

Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to reclaim a crucial area as price nears its 2021 all-time high (ATH). However, an analyst suggested that this week’s performance will be key for the long-awaited price discovery rally. Related Reading: SUI Set Up For Another Leg? Analyst Forecasts $10 Target For Potential Breakout Ethereum Eyes Last Major Resistance Over the past week, Ethereum has had a remarkable performance, jumping nearly 30% to a multi-year high of $4,750 on Wednesday afternoon, just 3.3% away from its ATH of $4,848, recorded in November 2021. Notably, the King of Altcoins has seen a 40% recovery from the start-of-month pullback, finally breaking from its local range and reclaiming the crucial $4,000 barrier last Friday. Since then, ETH has continued to soar, reclaiming the $4,400-$4,500 area on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency has been hovering between $4,600-$4,750 throughout the day, while attempting to break out of this range to potentially tackle “the final boss” of resistance around the $4,800 area. Analyst Rekt Capital discussed ETH’s recent performance, highlighting that it had successfully broken out of its multi-year resistance and turned it into support after its post-breakout retest at the start of the month, which has enabled the current move to the final Macro Range, between $3,762 and $4,631, that could precede new highs. However, he noted that the altcoin’s price “historically upside wicked beyond this final major Weekly/Monthly resistance for 3 straight weeks in a row” last cycle. As the analyst explained, in late 2021, Ethereum was rejected from the $4,631 resistance after hitting its ATH and attempting to turn it into support in the weekly timeframe, which was followed by an 80% retracement. This suggests that “how ETH treats $4,631 over the coming days will be pivotal” for the cryptocurrency’s upcoming performance, as it could potentially hit a new ATH but get ultimately rejected. Therefore, weekly closing above the Macro Range breakout level is crucial to “go against the grain of history.” Is A Rejection Next? Holding the $4,630 mark on the first attempt “would be a huge signal of strength,” the analyst asserted, but warned that “more often than not, price tends to get rejected but in a shallower manner.” If Ethereum fails to reclaim this level, the King of Altcoins could see an 18% drop to the Macro Range lows, around the $3,762 support, which would fulfill a key recently opened CME Gap on ETH’s chart. The Weekly CME gap, created this week, sits between the $4,091-$4,261 area, leading Rekt Capital to suggest that a more volatile retest of the CME gap could briefly send the price to the Macro Range lows. Meanwhile, if Ethereum reclaims the final major weekly resistance as support, ETH’s price discovery rally above the $5,000 mark will be next.

As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,748, a 56% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Sui (SUI) is attempting to reclaim a key resistance area after recovering from last week’s lows and growing institutional interest in the ecosystem, leading some analysts to suggest that a breakout might be around the corner. Related Reading: ZORA Hits New ATH Amid 50% Daily Surge – What’s Behind The Breakout? SUI Rallies Amid Ecosystem Interest On Tuesday, SUI jumped 7.4% intraday following major news for the ecosystem from institutional players. The cryptocurrency has been attempting to reclaim the $3.90-$4.00 zone over the past few weeks, briefly breaking out during the July market rally. The altcoin has been trading between $2.33-$4.00 price range since the Q2 recovery, hitting a seven-month high of $4.44 two weeks ago. For most of this period, SUI has hovered within the mid-zone of its multi-month range, failing to reclaim the $4.00 resistance multiple times. The early August pullback saw the token drop 27% from the local highs before bouncing at the end of last week. Since then, SUI’s price has recovered 20% from this month’s lows, rallying 6.65% in the past 24 hours to the $3.90 area. On August 12, one of the largest digital asset firms, Grayscale Investments, announced two new products that expand its “existing lineup of Sui Ecosystem products.” Earlier this year, the firm launched its Grayscale Sui Trust, which fueled a 44% rally after the announcement. Now, the firm has launched the Grayscale DeepBook Trust and the Grayscale Walrus Trust to “offer investors exposure to two key protocols driving innovation within the Sui ecosystem,” affirmed Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, Grayscale’s Head of Product and Research. The trusts, which are now open for daily subscriptions for eligible accredited investors, function as Grayscale’s other single-asset investment trusts and are solely invested in the DEEP and WAL tokens, respectively. SUI’s Price Ready For $10? Analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems noted the cryptocurrency “really likes to move along the 3 drives pattern.” The pattern consists of three consecutive price movements in the same direction, before a trend reversal. As the chart shows, SUI displayed a bullish 3 drives formation during the November-January rally, which was followed by a bearish 3 drives pattern during the February-April pullback. Now, the cryptocurrency has been potentially repeating the bullish setup since the May breakout, with the third drive up still ahead. “We should still have one leg left,” the analyst asserted, which could propel SUI’s price to the $5.00 resistance. Crypto Rand noted that SUI is consolidating after its local breakout, which could target an initial run to the $5.00 mark and a potential rally to an all-time high (ATH) around the $10 barrier.

He explained that altcoin displays a strong higher timeframe with a cup and handle formation between 2023 and 2024, followed by a re-accumulation within a 10-month symmetrical triangle. To the market watcher, the compression period “is over” and a breakout could be imminent in the coming weeks. A confirmed breakout from the $4.00 resistance could kickstart a rally to a new high between the $7.90 and $11.7 area. As of this writing, SUI trades at $3.91, a 12% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to break out of a crucial resistance level after recovering from last week’s lows. Some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency is repeating past breakout playbooks, which could lead to a new high this quarter.

On Thursday, Ethereum retested the $3,850 level after recording a 6.3% surge in the daily timeframe. The surge was fueled by news of President Donald Trump’s alleged plan to sign an executive order that would allow private equity, real estate, cryptocurrency, and other alternative assets investments in 401(k) plans. The executive order would reportedly direct the Department of Labor (DOL) to revise the guidelines related to alternative asset investments in retirement plans, opening the doors to the $12.5 trillion industry. Notably, the King of Altcoins has been trading between the $3,400-$3,800 price range since the mid-July breakout, attempting to break out from the last “major resistance” zone three times during this period. Last week, ETH surged to a seven-month high of $3,941, briefly trading above the key resistance zone before retracing to its local range. The start-of-August correction saw the cryptocurrency retreat to the range lows, retesting the $3,350-$3,400 area as support. Ethereum attempted to reclaim the range highs as this week started, trading in the $3,600-$3,700 mid-zone for the past three days. However, today’s pump saw the second-largest crypto surge past the $3,800 area and retest the $3,850 local resistance. Following its recent performance, analyst Alex Clay considers that ETH’s correction “seems to be over.” He highlighted an 18-month descending broadening wedge on the daily chart, affirming that a “breakout is imminent” as the cryptocurrency neared the formation’s upper boundary. Ethereum To Hit New Highs Soon Analyst Ted Pillows affirmed that ETH is “just one bullish candle away from a major breakout,” highlighting the similarities between its May-June setup and its current one. Following the May breakout, Ethereum traded within its local range, failing to break above the $2,700 resistance multiple times before its June bull and bear traps. Following the fake-out and retest of the lows, the cryptocurrency broke out of its range and hit a new yearly high in the following weeks. Similarly, ETH has been trading within its current range after the July breakout, as the analyst’s chart shows, retesting the local resistance before the late July bull trap. After the early August bear trap, the King of Altcoins is now retesting the $3,850-$3,900 area. A breakout from this zone could propel the price above the $4,000 barrier if history repeats. Based on this, the analyst suggested that a $5,000 target is possible before the quarter ends. Meanwhile, Rekt Capital highlighted that the Ethereum Dominance (ETHDOM) has surged above the 12% level in an uptrend for the first time in five years.

Analyst Forecasts New Highs In Q3 He noted that the last time ETHDOM rallied to this area was in July 2020, when it consolidated between the 12% to 16% zone for months before breaking out in 2021. According to the analyst, ETHDOM is now challenging to transition into a similar consolidation phase. As of this writing, ETH trades at $3,826 in the one-week chart, a 48% increase in the monthly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
