The ZEC technical structure continues to strengthen after breaking above a key macro resistance level that had capped price action for an extended period. Following a successful breakout above a long-standing descending trendline, the asset has continued to hold above key levels that previously served as strong resistance throughout the broader downtrend. The move signals a potential shift in momentum as bullish pressure gradually returns to the chart. How Zcash Momentum Continues Building After Technical Breakout Zcash is showing signs of renewed technical strength after completing a significant compound breakout above both a long-standing descending trendline and the critical $540 macro resistance zone. Technical analyst Ardi mentioned on X that the asset has also closed above the previous lower high near $560 for the first time since the broader shift in market structure. Related Reading: Here’s Why The ZCash (ZEC) Price Rallied Above $500 Again This level now becomes a critical pivot, whether ZEC can hold its reclaimed level as support and build momentum toward the next major resistance region between $590 and $600. However, if ZEC fails to maintain this structure, it would quickly shift price back toward the $540 level as the next key support zone. Ardi highlighted that the cleanest risk setup and reward remain at the extremes, which is either a confirmed breakout above $640 highs or a retest into $540 support with a clear invalidation below. The current range of ZEC is likely to remain choppy, with price action lacking clear direction between key levels. Ardi advises that with further consolidation still possible before a decisive breakout, the more strategic approach is to avoid chasing price in the middle of the range. Instead, the better trade structure is to position longs at support. Will Zcash Rally Gains Strength Following Clean Breakout Confirmation Zcash has continued to strengthen technically after successfully confirming a breakout from a well-defined daily bull flag continuation pattern, signaling a sustained upside bullish continuation momentum following weeks of consolidation.

Despite this move, the broader structure still appears incomplete. As long as the price holds above the breakout region, the bullish bias will remain intact, with momentum favoring further upside. From a higher timeframe (HTF) perspective, the next key expansion targets are positioned around $625, followed by the $680 resistance zone, where a significant pool of liquidity is expected to be situated.

Bitcoin’s price structure is starting to look less like a clean recovery to $80,000 and more like a battleground between $76,000 and $78,000, where every rally is being tested, and every dip is being watched. A new technical outlook from a crypto analyst known as Guru is now adding an interesting angle to that uncertainty, outlining a path where Bitcoin could first lure in late buyers before unwinding into a 50% decline before the end of the year. Next Bitcoin Move Bitcoin’s recent price action in April has led to bullish momentum slowly creeping in, and many analysts are now looking at bullish price targets at the end of the year. However, in a post shared on the social media platform X, crypto analyst Guru laid out a revised multi-stage roadmap for Bitcoin that culminates in a crash to as low as $30,000 by year-end, a drawdown of as much as 61% from current levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Should Be Wary Of This Level Or Investors Risk Getting Trapped The chart accompanying the post is a weekly timeframe chart that projects the full arc of the move: a compression zone, a rally, and then a terminal decline that would take Bitcoin to price levels last seen in late 2023. According to the weekly chart, Bitcoin is currently transitioning into a high-timeframe redistribution phase. Guru’s original prediction anticipated a simpler two-act sequence involving a flush to $55,000 followed by a direct rally to $80,000. That scenario has now been superseded, though the analyst is clear that the broader conclusion has not changed. The updated plan introduces a higher-timeframe (HTF) consolidation and redistribution phase first, which is likely to trap traders on both sides. The prediction based on this updated plan is that Bitcoin will reverse soon to find a local bottom in the $62,000-$65,000 zone before staging a rally to $85,000. It is that rally, Guru argues, that is the real danger. “The 85k pump will be the ultimate exit liquidity trap,” the analyst wrote. A Year-End Slide To $30,000 The most interesting part of the prediction is what is expected to happen once Bitcoin undergoes the projected rally to $85,000. Once the liquidity above is taken and the market exhausts buying pressure, the analyst anticipates a move lower, targeting a broad range between $50,000 on the higher end and $30,000 on the lower end before the end of the year. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $140,000 And XRP To $7? Here’s When It Will Happen Despite the severity of the forecast, Guru has been explicit about what would invalidate it. A weekly close above $98,000 would render the entire bearish scenario void. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $77,000, which means a drop to $50,000 would represent a decline of roughly 35%, while a deeper slide to $30,000 would translate to an approximate 61% loss from current levels. On the other hand, a move to the analyst’s invalidation level at $98,000 would require a rally of about 27%. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum is approaching a critical resistance zone as recent recovery attempts begin to lose momentum. With price action still showing signs of a corrective structure, attention is shifting toward the possibility of a move back to lower range levels if sellers step in at key resistance. HTF Range Aligns With Ethereum TCT Distribution Model According to crypto analyst The Composite Trader, Ethereum is currently developing within a well-defined higher timeframe (HTF) range that aligns with a TCT distribution model. This structure suggests that price action may be building toward a potential bearish rotation, with the broader range still intact and guiding market behavior. Related Reading: Ethereum Flips Key Resistance, ETF Demand Returns, Analysts Eye Next Leg Higher The analyst emphasized that full confirmation has not yet been achieved, as a clean and high-quality third tap is still required to validate the setup. That third interaction with resistance is a key component of the model, often acting as the trigger point for a more decisive move toward the lower end of the range. While waiting for this confirmation, the expert focuses on lower-timeframe (LTF) opportunities, particularly short-term accumulation setups that can drive the price upward into the anticipated third tap zone. He further explained that some of his most successful trading sequences come from linking these timeframes, capturing gains on the way up through LTF longs, then rotating those profits into short positions near HTF resistance. By treating the entire process as one continuous sequence rather than separate trades, it becomes possible to compound gains more aggressively. This strategy is rooted in the concept of ‘TCT creating TCT’, where patterns on lower timeframes build into and reinforce structures on higher timeframes. B-Wave Bounce Faces Key Resistance At $2,332–$2,420 More Crypto Online pointed out that the first major resistance for a potential B-wave bounce is positioned between $2,332 and $2,420. This zone is expected to act as a decisive barrier, where any upward move could face selling pressure and determine whether the recovery has strength or remains corrective. Related Reading: Ethereum Signals Major Reversal – $2,900 Target Back In Focus The analysis emphasizes that the structure of the bounce is just as important as the level itself. As long as any move into this resistance region unfolds in a clear three-wave pattern, it would suggest that the market is still within a corrective phase. Under this scenario, the door remains open for additional downside in the short term before a more meaningful recovery rally can develop. On the downside, the $2,037 level is identified as the key support to watch in the coming sessions. This level could act as a stabilization point if tested. Still, a decisive break below it would increase the probability of an extended correction before the next bullish phase begins. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum shows signs of strength, but the bullish picture only emerges on an inverted chart. On the standard view, the downtrend remains intact until key resistance is reclaimed, making the current optimism conditional. Inverted Structure Reinforces Ethereum Bearish HTF Outlook Presenting an inverted chart in a recent update, Mizer explained that he has been short on Ethereum for several days, outlining what he believes could unfold on the higher time frame (HTF). Mizer clarified that this doesn’t necessarily plan to hold the full position to his projected targets, as he prefers focusing on lower time frame (LTF) opportunities given the difficulty of forecasting HTF moves in the current macro environment. Related Reading: Ethereum’s Bounce Still Lacks Conviction — Downside Risk Remains According to Mizer, Ethereum’s HTF structure remains clear: a distribution phase followed by consistent breakdowns since the $5,000 peak. A parabolic curve formed off that top is a key indicator of this pattern, noting that the price has respected it for months. Until that parabola is decisively broken and price holds above it, the broader downtrend remains intact. Zooming into the current price action, Mizer highlighted a strong impulse move into this zone marked by a purple line. This area represents a significant support/resistance flip on the inverted chart: previously resistance, it was broken and now functions as support. Mizer is now closely watching the small blue box on the right side of the chart, which represents the current consolidation following the impulse. Two Scenarios From Consolidation The analyst further explained that from the current consolidation zone, there are two primary scenarios unfolding: either continuation after a shallow pullback, or a brief fake breakdown followed by a swift reclaim before the next leg higher on the inverted chart, which would translate to further downside for ETH itself. Related Reading: Ethereum Faces High-Stakes Moment at $2,200 as Whale Longs Clash With Bearish Flow Data He described the purple path on his chart as his “ideal” bullish scenario on the inverted structure, essentially tracking price as it continues to respect the long-standing parabolic curve. As long as that parabola remains intact, the broader bearish trajectory remains his base case. Regarding targets, he divided expectations into short- and long-term objectives. The immediate target sits around $1,700, which he views as the first logical area to take profits and monitor for a potential reaction strong enough to challenge or even break the parabolic resistance. The final target lies near $1,400, representing the larger extension if momentum fully plays out. However, he emphasized that the setup would be invalidated if ETH loses the key flip zone and begins accepting below it on the inverted chart, a move that would break the parabola and potentially signal a broader trend reversal.

XRP continues to maintain its macro bullish structure despite experiencing a deeper corrective move than initially anticipated. Although price action has tested lower levels, it has not confirmed a higher-timeframe breakdown, suggesting the pullback is still part of a broader consolidation within an ongoing uptrend rather than a full trend reversal. XRP Dips Deeper, But HTF Level Still Holds In a recent XRP update, Hov noted that price action pushed deeper toward the lows than what would typically be acceptable for the previously considered diagonal scenario. The move forced a reassessment of the short-term structure. Despite that deeper sweep, the broader setup has not completely broken down. Related Reading: Historic Trend That Led XRP To A Sharp 40% Trend Has Just Reappeared Importantly, XRP has yet to produce a higher-timeframe close below the critical support level. Price is holding the area by a narrow margin, and as long as a decisive HTF breakdown is avoided, the broader bullish structure cannot be invalidated. Given the recent price behavior, Hov adjusted the corrective count, labeling the structure as a sideways combination correction within a larger-degree Wave 4. The pullback delivered a precise tag of the 50% retracement level, adding technical confluence to the idea that this could be a mature corrective phase rather than the start of a broader reversal. The next key development to watch is a clear five-wave advance from the recent low. XRP has already shown a clean micro five-wave structure off the bottom; something many other altcoins are lacking, as they continue to print overlapping three-wave moves instead. That relative structural strength keeps the bullish case alive. A sustained push toward the $2 region in a confirmed Wave 5 would increase confidence that a durable low is in place. From there, analysts would look for a controlled wave 3 retracement into support as confirmation, signaling that the market is preparing for continuation rather than a deeper breakdown. Technical Structure Remains Firmly Bullish XRP continues to maintain a technically bullish posture despite recent consolidation. Price action has pulled back, but the broader structure has not shifted into bearish territory. Momentum may have cooled, yet the underlying trend remains constructive. Related Reading: XRP Spot ETFs Riding The Bullish Wave, Attracting Broader Wall Street Allocation According to Steph Is Crypto, the key level to monitor is the 200-week moving average. As long as XRP holds above that long-term indicator, the macro uptrend remains intact. In previous market cycles, sustained bearish phases often began after a decisive break below this level, something that has not occurred in the current setup. At present, XRP appears to be consolidating within a broader bullish framework, meaning the structure still favors upside continuation unless proven otherwise. Trend dynamics have not flipped, and until major support gives way, the long-term outlook stays technically positive. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Balo has assured that the Dogecoin price rally to a new all-time high (ATH) above $0.74 is in the works. He explained why this rally may be closer than some may imagine despite the recent bearish price action. Dogecoin Price Eyes Rally Above $0.74 ATH In an X post, crypto analyst Balo shared an accompanying chart showing that the Dogecoin price could surpass its current all-time high of $0.74, reaching $0.8 in the process. This came as the analyst opined that a major run was imminent for the foremost meme coin, despite its current downtrend. Related Reading: Analyst Shares Worst-Case Scenario For Dogecoin This Cycle Balo explained that at each local bottom since early 2024, there has always been a “messy” Dogecoin price action that looks designed to shake people out before the real jump. He added that DOGE has made higher lows and maintained the higher-timeframe (HTF) trend, and that the same price pattern appears to be repeating now. The crypto analyst also admitted that the parabolic surge for the Dogecoin price may feel far away, but that each mini cycle brings DOGE closer to its bull run. He also stated that this gives investors more time to accumulate before the DOGE price rallies to a new all-time high, which he claimed is just a matter of time. This bullish prediction for the Dogecoin price comes amid its current downtrend, with the meme coin struggling below the psychological $0.2 level. DOGE has continued to mirror Bitcoin’s price action, and with the flagship crypto threatening to drop below $100,000 again, crypto analyst Dogecoin OG predicts that the meme coin could fall to the $0.16 range. Analyst Predicts Mega Run For DOGE Crypto analyst Crypto Patel has also provided a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price, declaring that the meme coin was ready for its next historic mega run. The analyst stated that the breakout and retest are complete and that the structure is locked and loaded for a parabolic explosion. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Set For 1,200% Rally To $2.2 In This 3rd Run Furthermore, Crypto Patel revealed that the same pattern that sent the Dogecoin price flying during the 2017 and 2021 bull cycles is repeating again on the monthly timeframe. He added that the move looks even more powerful this time around. As such, he expects DOGE to rally 10x to 33x based on the fractal confluence and macro breakout structure. Patel stated that targets 1 and 2 are $2 and $5, respectively, both of which mark new ATHs for the meme coin. His accompanying chart showed that the Dogecoin price could reach these targets sometime next year. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.17, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com
