Ethereum is currently trading at a pivotal zone where long-term support and emerging bullish momentum are converging. With buyers attempting to defend a key multi-year trendline, the coming sessions could prove decisive for the asset’s broader outlook. A successful hold may set the stage for a powerful breakout, while failure could delay Ethereum’s next major rally. Ethereum Tests Critical Multi-Year Trendline Support After losing the $2,000 price mark, Ethereum continues to trend downward. However, recent analysis from World of Charts highlights that Ethereum has reached a critical technical juncture, currently testing a vital multi-year ascending trendline. The fact that this support zone is holding so far is a positive development, marking it as the most important area to monitor throughout the coming weeks. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Roadmap For The Rest Of 2026: Bull, Base, And Bear Scenarios Unpacked For a shift in momentum to occur, the asset needs to maintain this base while simultaneously overcoming the descending trendline overhead. Successfully reclaiming this overhead resistance would represent a major technical victory, potentially triggering a strong bullish wave and initiating a significant upward move. Despite the favorable setup, confirmation remains essential before projecting a larger rally. The stability of this support zone is the primary prerequisite for growth; if buyers continue to defend this level and a clean breakout is realized, Ethereum could be positioned for a substantial long-term bullish rally with significantly higher targets ahead. While patience remains the best strategy, the developing structure is becoming increasingly compelling for long-term investors and active traders alike. Closely monitoring these specific technical boundaries will be vital in identifying exactly when the market is ready to transition into its next expansion phase. Reclaims The 4H 200 MA And EMA After Months Of Weakness Speaking in a recent post, crypto analyst Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that Ethereum has achieved an important technical milestone by breaking above its 4-hour 200 MA and 200 EMA for the first time since losing those levels in April. The move suggests that short-term momentum may be shifting back in favor of the bulls after months of weakness. Related Reading: Ethereum Pullback Deepens, But Key Structure Still Signals Bullish Hope The analyst also pointed to Ethereum’s resilience against Bitcoin in recent sessions, noting that the asset has continued to show strength on lower timeframes. This relative outperformance has helped fuel optimism that ETH could be building a stronger recovery structure. According to Daan Crypto Trades, the breakout is worth monitoring closely. If Ethereum can maintain its position above these key moving averages, it could provide a boost to ETH-related sectors, particularly DeFi tokens and other ecosystem assets, especially if Bitcoin dominance continues to decline and capital begins rotating into alternative cryptocurrencies.

Dogecoin’s price action looks bare on the surface, but the wallets that often matter most are making interesting moves. Notably, on-chain data shows that large DOGE holders have returned to accumulation at a time when the meme coin is trading below its most important technical price zones of the year. Dogecoin Whales Are Buying Into Weakness DOGE has spent much of 2026 under pressure, with rallies repeatedly struggling to turn into upside above $0.10. That has made whale behavior more important because large holders tend to accumulate during periods when smaller traders are either selling, waiting, or losing interest. Related Reading: Dogecoin Adoption Is Back In The Cards, But Why Is DOGE Price Still Crashing? On-chain data tracked by crypto analyst Ali Martinez and sourced from Santiment shows that large DOGE holders purchased more than 525 million tokens in a 96-hour window. At the time the accumulation was recorded, Dogecoin’s price action was locked in a tight squeeze directly below the 200-day moving average, a long-term trend line currently around $0.12. For context, that level has acted as a ceiling for most of 2026. Interestingly, the 525 million DOGE purchase reported by Ali Martinez is especially notable because it happened within only four days. This shows that large wallets were actively absorbing supply during a compressed trading window. This kind of buying can reduce immediate sell pressure on Dogecoin. Another interesting thing is that the large wallet inflows do not appear to be coming from Spot Dogecoin ETFs. These funds have recorded only $860,960 in inflows over the past week, a relatively small figure compared to the whale accumulation. Based on Dogecoin’s current price, the 525 million DOGE bought by large holders is worth more than $52 million. The 200-Day Moving Average DOGE Must Beat The main technical issue for Dogecoin is the 200-day moving average. At the time of writing, Dogecoin’s 200-day MA is at $0.12. Dogecoin is also trading at $0.1025, which places it just 15% below the moving average. Related Reading: How To Time The Dogecoin Bottom And When The Price Will Reach $2 A Dogecoin price breakout above the 200-day moving average would give bulls their first major technical confirmation in months. It would show that the whale accumulation is starting to affect the chart, and it could also force short-term traders to reassess Dogecoin’s position. According to a crypto analyst that goes by the name Cryptollica on X, Dogecoin is now facing a kind of opportunity that has appeared only a handful of times in the last 12 years, pointing to previous cycle bottoms in 2015, 2020, and 2022. In each case, DOGE spent a long period looking inactive. As it stands, the Dogecoin Cycle Score has dropped back to the rebuild zone, which is a level that has always appeared when attention to the meme coin is very low. All that needs to happen now is for Dogecoin to break above the 200 MA, and a rally could start to make sense. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Chain Mind has indicated that the Bitcoin price has yet to bottom. He alluded to historical performance, which shows that BTC has never bottomed without touching the EMA 300. Bitcoin Price Unlikely To Bottom Before Touching This Level In an X post, Chain Mind indicated that the Bitcoin price is unlikely to bottom out without first touching the EMA300. He noted that BTC has never bottomed without touching this level, as it did in 2020 and 2022, when it tagged the weekly EMA300 right before the cycle low. Specifically, Bitcoin’s bottom came 10% below the EMA in 2020 and 15% in 2022. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Repeating This Midterm Pattern That Sends Price Tumbling 15% On Average The analyst noted that in this cycle, the Bitcoin price bounced from $60,000 without ever reaching the EMA, suggesting the real bottom isn’t in. He added that if the pattern repeats, BTC must drop to around $58,000, marking the last bottom in this bear cycle. In another X post, the analyst indicated that BTC was mirroring the price action during the 2022 bear market. This came as he revealed that the Bitcoin price had just rejected the 200MA, a move that also occurred in 2022. He explained that this confirms the bearish macro structure after BTC tagged the 200D MA again at $82,000. As such, if the 2022 pattern repeats, the leading crypto must drop 40% to 60% from the rejection point. He added that this means that the real cycle bottom must be around the $50,000 to $55,000 range. Bitcoin is once again in a downtrend after failing to hold above the psychological $80,000 level. This comes amid bearish catalysts such as the US-Iran war, rising inflation, and bets of a Fed rate hike this year. BTC’s latest decline came after the SEC delayed its approval of tokenized stocks. The Plan Remains The Same For BTC Crypto analyst Kaleo declared that the plan remains the same for the Bitcoin price despite traders on Kalshi betting against a rally to $100,000 this year. He urged market participants to zoom out and be more bullish. As for what could happen, he predicts a retest in the lower $70,000 range, then a rebound to between $80,000 and $90,000, and a range there for the summer. Related Reading: If You’re Looking To Bitcoin Above $90,000, This Analyst Says To Watch This Bearish OB Level Once that happens, the analyst predicts that the Bitcoin price will then rally above $100,000 and reach a new all-time high (ATH) in the fall and winter. Notably, the CLARITY Act could pass between now and then, which could spark a massive rally for the leading crypto. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $75,400, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin’s recovery attempt has carried it back above $80,000 for the first time since late January 2026, giving bulls a reason to argue that the worst of the recent correction has passed. However, one crypto analyst believes the move is running directly into the level that could decide how May ends for BTC. In a technical outlook shared on X, crypto analyst Leshka warned that Bitcoin is likely to close May in the red, pointing to a bear flag structure playing out on the daily chart. Why Bitcoin Will Close May In Red Leshka’s outlook on Bitcoin is based on its price action since the February dump. The daily candlestick timeframe chart shows BTC recovering inside an ascending channel, with price grinding higher from the $60,000 region into the $80,000 range at the time of writing. This recovery looks constructive because the movement has caused Bitcoin to print higher lows and higher highs since the February low. Related Reading: Bitcoin Crash Is Coming: Pundit Says It’s Time To Sell All Your BTC However, Leshka interprets the same structure differently. According to the analyst, the rising channel is a bear flag currently in formation. A bear flag usually appears when price bounces upward in a controlled channel after a major drop, only to later break below the structure and continue lower. As shown in the chart below, Bitcoin’s recent advance is shown pressing on the upper boundary of the ascending channel, and this is around the same area where the 200-day moving average is located. Interestingly, Bitcoin has gone seven months without a daily close above this moving average, and this makes it a major line between a recovery rally and a confirmed trend reversal. At the time of writing, the 200 MA is around $82,000. The outlook here depends on how the Bitcoin price reacts to this level. The projected bearish path proposed by the analyst shows Bitcoin making one final push into the resistance/200 MA confluence before reversing lower, losing the channel, and falling back to the $58,000 to $56,000 range by June. BTC’s May Record Faces A Major Test Bitcoin is already up 7.11% so far in May 2026. Bitcoin’s monthly return table shows that May has often been one of its stronger months, with an average gain of 18.7% and a median return of 8.32% across previous years. Bitcoin’s price action for May in the last two years was positive, with the cryptocurrency gaining 11.1% in both May 2024 and May 2025. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals Bitcoin Big Picture, Predicts 50% Crash By EOY That historical strength is what makes this prediction more interesting. The problem is that the rally is now pressing into the exact resistance zone where the 200-day moving average is situated. Previous red May closes have also appeared during difficult market phases, including a 35.4% decline in May 2021, a 15.9% decline in May 2022, and a 7.10% decline in May 2023. Leshka’s view is that 2026 could join that group if the current move fails at the top of the ascending channel. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Kaz has called the local Bitcoin top, stating that the leading crypto has little room to the upside. The analyst also explained why BTC is now likely to drop below the psychological $60,000 level, which would mark a new low for the crypto asset. Bitcoin Top About To Form As Price Eyes Drop Below $60,000 In an X post, Kaz said Bitcoin is very close to a local top, despite market participants predicting a sustained rally to $90,000. He noted that the last local top formed around $97,000, when people were calling for a rally to $108,000, but it did not happen. Instead, BTC was rejected from the daily Fair Value Gap (FVG) and recorded a massive decline. Related Reading: Why The Bitcoin Price Could Hit $68,000 Again Kaz stated that the same price action is playing out again, with Bitcoin very close to the local top and a daily FVG in place. The analyst predicted that BTC might be rejected from the daily FVG and form a local top between $80,000 and $82,000. He also mentioned that the final range won’t dump in an instant but would rather be a slow bleed. The analyst further pointed to the first week of May as when the Bitcoin top could form. Commenting on the current price action, he noted that BTC has only swept the highs and has formed equal lows on the lower timeframe, which is very likely to get swept. His accompanying chart showed that BTC could drop as low as $56,000 on the next move lower. Meanwhile, Kaz revealed that he will be adding to his short if BTC sweeps the $80,000 range. BTC No Longer In A Bear Flag In an X post, crypto analyst Colin stated that Bitcoin remains in the yellow channel, with $81,000 as resistance at the upper boundary. The analyst noted that a break above this upper boundary would be bullish while a break below the lower boundary at $72,000 would be bearish. He added that if BTC continues to gradually climb within the channel, it will bump into overhead resistance between $80,000 and $86,000. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals Bitcoin Big Picture, Predicts 50% Crash By EOY Colin warned that this is where Bitcoin will struggle to sustain its upward momentum and will likely find a local top, completing the relief rally. He explained that this range is highly likely to be a rejection point for BTC, as there is a convergence of overhead resistance levels, the 200-day moving average (MA), and the upper range of the channel. His accompanying chart showed that BTC could drop to around $66,000 when this relief rally is over. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $75,600, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto analyst Crypto Patel has predicted that the Ethereum layer-2 Arbitrum could record a 7,400%, providing a bullish outlook for the altcoin. He also revealed key levels for investors to keep an eye out for as the position for this potential rally. Arbitrum Eyes 7,400% Run With Price Down 96% From ATH In an X post, Crypto Patel predicted that Arbitrum could rally 7,400, with the price currently down 96% from its all-time high (ATH) of $2.40. He noted that ARB got trapped inside a brutal descending channel after its 2024 top, which led to the 96% crash from its ATH. The analyst added that retail investors have gotten trapped in bull traps in every minor bounce before the next leg down. Related Reading: Altcoins To Make New Millionaires: Pundit Says Money Printer Will Turn On Once Bitcoin Does This Commenting on the current Arbitrum price action, Crypto Patel revealed that the price is sitting above a high-risk, higher-timeframe accumulation zone following the liquidation phase. He added that ARB has shown the first real sign of strength, with price up 57% from its lows. This higher timeframe high-risk accumulation zone is notably between $0.095 and $0.07. Crypto Patel stated that market participants should be watching for a breakout and retest of the descending trendline. There could also be a liquidity sweep below the dynamic trendline. Meanwhile, the bullish structure remains valid only above the $0.27 reclaim. An invalidation could happen with a 2-week close below $0.065 for Arbitrum. The analyst also mentioned that descending channels, as in this case, often print multiple false reversals before the real one occurs. Crypto Patel reiterated key levels to watch, including the higher timeframe demand zone, the breakdown zone, and the trend reclaim zone. Meanwhile, the bull cycle targets are $0.27, $0.50, $1.2, $2.5, and $5. ARB’s Price Action is Similar To 2020’s Price Action In an X post, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe stated that Arbitrum is one of many altcoins that have similarities with the beginning of 2020 in terms of price action. He noted a strong bullish divergence on the daily timeframe, indicating that the altcoin is ready to record a bullish reversal. Related Reading: Can An Altcoin Season Come Again? Why Bitcoin Price Can’t Fall Below $40,000 He highlighted other positives for Arbitrum, such as a clear breakout above the 21-day moving average (MA). At the same time, volume is kicking in, and momentum is picking up as other tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem also wake up. Michaël van de Poppe noted that the breakout above the 21-day MA is the first time since the summer of 2025. He added that ARB is currently at the phase where it is trying to build a base. At the time of writing, the Arbitrum price is trading at around $0.1241, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin has increasingly moved in sync with the software and technology sector, and is reshaping its role in global finance. Rather than behaving like a traditional store of value or independent asset class, BTC has shown price patterns closely tied to technology-driven markets, particularly growth-oriented software companies and digital innovation stocks. This growing connection reflects BTC’s deep roots in technology and its dependence on market conditions that typically influence high-growth sectors and innovation cycles. How Market Liquidity Connects Bitcoin To Software Stocks According to crypto analyst Kevin, Bitcoin has been more tied to the software sector than any other market in recent years. The software underperformance has been caused by massive disruption from Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, and BTC has also experienced similar underperformance due to AI technology disruption throughout 2025 and the broader market cycle. Related Reading: Thinking Of Buying The Bitcoin Dip? Here’s What This Metric Says However, as BTC is no longer the hottest new tech in the block and a tighter for longer monetary policy is in place, it’s the perfect combo to explain crypto underperformance overall. The key question now is whether BTC can overcome this hurdle in the future. Kevin believes that BTC can overcome this hurdle, but it has to overcome real fundamental narrative challenges for the first time. The current daily chart structure for Bitcoin has been interpreted as a strong bullish setup. Market commentator known as Super฿ro on X has highlighted that it is always better for BTC to flush out the lower liquidity levels first, leaving the overhead liquidity intact, which will later serve as fuel for a potential short squeeze. Thus, BTC had the opportunity to move higher and take out the short positions, but instead left them untouched. Currently, BTC has flushed out almost all the leveraged longs below, which is a setup but not a guarantee. Technically, this pattern could also be viewed as a bear pennant breakdown, with a potential downside target below $50,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull-Bear Cycle Indicator Drops To Deepest Level Since FTX Bottom Super฿ro is convinced that this move will prove too ambitious for the bears, as it would push the price into a major multi-year support zone. However, if BTC successfully holds its recent lows on a closing basis, the outlook could shift decisively bullish and open the door to a sharp recovery into the $70,000 range and potentially higher. BTC Flow From Spot To Futures Markets Explained The Bitcoin Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse (IFP) is approaching a golden cross with the 90-day moving average (90MA) line. A crypto investor and data analyst known as CW pointed out that the IFP indicator is based on BTC flowing from the spot market into the futures market. However, if this trend accelerates further, it could form a golden cross above the 90MA, then signal a bullish rally. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto analyst Coinvo has revealed that the Bitcoin price has just hit a 15-year trendline following its latest crash to around $70,000. He declared this a buying opportunity, noting that the trendline has historically held on four prior occasions in past cycles. Bitcoin Price Hits 15-Year Trendline Against Gold In an X post, Coinvo stated that the Bitcoin price has hit the same RSI trendline on its gold chart as in 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2022. He further noted that this development has historically created a buying opportunity, as BTC has consistently outperformed gold when this happens. He urged market participants not to miss this as it is the “biggest opportunity” they have ever had. Related Reading: Bitcoin Set To Test Resistance At $80,600 After Bottoming At $74,000 His statement comes as the Bitcoin price crashed to a new yearly low at around $70,000, with the leading crypto asset now down over 19% year-to-date (YTD). Based on Coinvo’s analysis, this may mark the bottom for BTC despite concerns that the crypto market may be entering a deep bear market. In another X post, the analyst stated that the Bitcoin price is set to repeat the entire 2023 rally. He noted that the same pattern as in 2023 is playing out now, with BTC hitting the 200-day EMA, which marked a bear-market bottom back then by flipping into support. Coinvo added that most people are too focused on the bearish noise, but urged market participants not to let it obscure the truth, as Bitcoin is going higher. However, crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen has suggested that the Bitcoin price could still drop lower, having crashed below its April 2025 low. He noted that in the previous cycles, when BTC fell below the 100-week SMA, it crashed straight to the 200-week SMA before any relief bounce occurred. BTC Could Still Crash To As Low As $63,000 Veteran trader Peter Brandt shared an accompanying chart showing that the Bitcoin price could still drop to as low as $63,000. This came as he noted that the nature of BTC’s decline, with eight consecutive days of lower lows and highs, indicates campaign selling rather than retail liquidation. He noted that he has observed this pattern several times and that it is difficult to determine when it ends. Crypto analyst PlanB highlighted potential bear-market scenarios for BTC. He stated that an 80% drawdown from the current all-time high (ATH) could put the Bitcoin price at $25,000. Furthermore, a drop to the 200-week MA and current realized price could mean a crash to between $50,000 and $60,000. Meanwhile, a crash to the previous cycle’s ATH could mean that $70,000 is the bottom. Related Reading: Here’s What To Expect If The Bitcoin Price Maintains Support Above $74,400 At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $70,700, down over 7% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

According to a recent technical analysis by market expert Egrag Crypto, XRP has formed a “Super Guppy Compression” against Bitcoin, signaling the potential for a major structural shift. The analyst has revealed what could come next for the XRP/BTC pair following this development, indicating a higher probability of a bullish breakout within the next few months. XRP Bitcoin Pair Forms Super Guppy Compression In his X post, Egrag Crypto provided a detailed breakdown of the XRP/BTC price structure and the recent patterns emerging within its chart. He suggested that the trading pair recently entered a transition phase after a multi-year decline, with price action tightening as the market moved through a period of compression. Related Reading: What the Triple-Tap At $1.80 Means For The XRP Price Egrag Crypto revealed that XRP/BTC has completed a Super Guppy Compression pattern, which shows full ribbon compression across both short- and long-term Moving Averages (MA). According to the analyst, this compression signals an upcoming volatility expansion, indicates exhausted selling pressure, and highlights a clear transition phase in the market. Color dynamics within the Guppy system on the chart also suggest a shift in market behavior. Egrag Crypto notes that the short-term Moving Averages, or “ribbons” as he calls them, are turning green, signaling early bullish momentum. At the same time, long-term ribbons remain red but are flattening, indicating that the downward trend on XRP/BTC is easing. These developments also show that the market has exited its bearish phase; however, a clear uptrend has yet to emerge, leaving the trading pair in a base-building stage. From a price-structure perspective, Egrag Crypto notes that XRP/BTC is forming a bullish rectangular pattern. The analyst revealed that the trading pair had repeatedly bounced off support while facing rejection at resistance, indicating that supply is being absorbed rather than aggressively sold off. According to him, this behavior aligns with textbook reaccumulation patterns observed after extended downtrends, signaling a potential upward move ahead. Egrag Crypto has shared key targets for where he believes XRP/BTC could go next, depending on its current market structure. He noted that the structure matters more than the underlying emotion, suggesting that although the market may seem quiet, it is actively positioning for a decisive move. Analyst Sets Bullish And Bearish Targets For XRP/BTC Continuing his analysis, Egrag Crypto predicted that over the next three to six months, the XRP/BTC price has a 60-70% chance of a bullish breakout. He added that there is also a 30-40% possibility of an extended consolidation, but only if the market structure breaks—a scenario he considers unlikely. Related Reading: Analyst Says XRP Price Just Entered Neutral State – What This Means Looking at the chart, the analyst has identified two key upside targets and one downside scenario. If XRP/BTC crosses the red resistance line at approximately $0.0000338, Egrag Crypto predicts an initial surge to a “conservative” target of $0.000091, followed by a rise to a “normal” target of $0.00014. Conversely, if a structure break occurs, XRP/BTC could plunge from $0.0000193 to $0.00000668. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum is showing renewed signs of strength as it begins to stabilize after months of choppy price action. While recent technical improvements suggest momentum is turning in favor of the bulls, key resistance levels remain overhead, which means the recovery seems promising, but not yet fully confirmed. Market Structure Remains Unconvincing Despite The Bounce In a recent market update, crypto analyst Luca expressed a cautious outlook regarding Ethereum’s current market structure. While the price has managed a technical feat by breaking above the 1D Bull Market Support Band, a zone that has historically served as a reliable reversal point over the past several months, Luca remains unconvinced of a broader trend shift. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Momentum Rolls Over, Bearish Move Warning The primary hurdle for a definitive bullish reversal lies at the 0.618 Fibonacci Point of Interest (POI), currently positioned at $3,120. Luca emphasizes that Ethereum must durably reclaim this level to shift the lower-timeframe sentiment. Until this specific price target is secured as support, the risk of the current move being a fake-out remains high. Drawing parallels to the current state of Bitcoin, Luca suggests that the most prudent approach for investors is to remain defensive, as the market has yet to confirm a breakout above the Fibonacci resistance. This cautious stance is intended to guard against emotional trading during a period of high uncertainty and potential volatility. To manage this risk, Luca is maintaining a cash reserve to hedge spot holdings in case a rejection occurs. A failure to hold current levels would likely trigger a deeper pullback toward the previous high-timeframe resistance range near $2,700 before a more sustainable and durable reversal to the upside unfolds. Ethereum Opens 2026 With A Key Trend Shift According to StockTrader_max, Ethereum has started 2026 on a clearly positive technical footing. ETH has printed its first daily close above the 50-day moving average since October 9, a period that coincided with the liquidation-driven shock that rippled through the broader crypto market. This close marks a meaningful shift in trend behavior after months of trading below key short-term averages. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Presses Resistance, but Can The Recovery Survive? From a bullish perspective, reclaiming the 50-day MA is exactly the kind of confirmation sought for following an extended corrective phase. It signals improving momentum and suggests that buyers are beginning to regain control, potentially laying the groundwork for a more sustained recovery rather than a short-lived bounce. Looking ahead, StockTrader_max highlighted the 200-day moving average around $3,550 as the next major upside objective. As capital starts to rotate back into Ethereum and risk appetite improves, the analyst expects price action to gravitate toward this level in the coming sessions.

XRP is facing a critical turning point as key long-term support gives way for the first time in over 400 days. After consolidating near $2, the recent break below the 200-day moving average signals mounting pressure, putting the cryptocurrency in a high-stakes zone where the next move could define its near-term trajectory. Price Stalls Below The $2 Wall As Volatility Compresses In an X post, Umair Crypto noted that XRP has faced heavy resistance near the psychological $2 level, forcing the price into a tight consolidation range between $1.85 and $1.88. Such conditions often precede a sharp move, suggesting XRP may be nearing a decisive breakout or breakdown phase. Related Reading: Expert Says XRP ‘Haters’ Miss The Bigger Picture: Here’s What It Is On the daily timeframe, XRP still displays signs of resilience despite the overhead pressure. Buyers have so far managed to defend nearby support zones, preventing a clean breakdown in structure. This defensive price action keeps the broader bullish scenario alive, especially if momentum improves and XRP reclaims higher levels with stronger volume confirmation. However, a wider view from the 3-day chart introduces caution. The current support region aligns closely with the 200-day simple moving average. XRP’s latest close below this moving average marks the first time in more than 400 days, highlighting a notable technical shift that could weigh on sentiment if not quickly reversed. This development places XRP at a critical inflection point. The chart shows a relatively thin historical structure following the explosive November 2024 rally that lifted the price from $0.50 to $3. With fewer well-defined demand zones beneath, any acceleration in selling pressure could lead to faster downside moves. Umair Crypto identified interim support levels around $1.45, $1.10, and $0.69 as potential downside targets if a confirmed breakdown unfolds. Attention remains firmly on the coming sessions, particularly as Ripple’s recent $1 billion token unlock introduces additional supply, adding another layer of pressure to an already sensitive market setup. XRP Former Ceiling Turns Into A Structural Floor According to a monthly XRP update shared by crypto analyst Chad, the asset is currently holding above a key level that previously acted as resistance and has now flipped into support. This shift suggests that buyers are still defending the structure, keeping the broader setup constructive despite recent price action hesitation. Related Reading: XRP Price Slides Under Support, Bearish Continuation Signals Emerge A clear double-top formation can be spotted on the chart. However, Chad notes that it does not have to fully play out as long as XRP continues to hold above the 0.786 logarithmic Fibonacci level. Overall, XRP appears to be in a consolidation phase rather than a decisive move. Price action is currently contained within the 0.786 to 0.886 log Fibonacci range, signaling a period of balance as the market awaits a clearer directional catalyst.

Bitcoin’s recent bounce may look like a sign of renewed strength, but the price action tells a more deceptive story. With downside liquidity still thin and support holding firm, the market appears primed for a move that draws in eager bulls rather than rewarding them. This rally could be less about recovery and more about setting the stage for maximum pain when sentiment flips. Aligning The Mid- And Long-Term Bitcoin Outlook During an in-depth technical and psychological analysis, Mr. Wall Street explained that his broader outlook on Bitcoin had already been clarified a week earlier, after some confusion around his mid and long-term stance. With those time horizons now clearly defined, he turned his focus to the short-term picture, outlining current market behavior. Related Reading: Bitcoin In Standby Mode: Weekend Ranges Rule Before Holiday ‘Chop’ He reiterated that while his mid-term bias on Bitcoin remains bearish, the short-term structure has turned bullish. The reason centered on insufficient downside liquidity to justify market makers initiating the next major leg lower. This imbalance supported the case for a temporary relief move to the upside. Thus, Mr. Wall Street placed long positions around the Value Area Low between $80,000 and $84,000 on a bounce that could later evolve into a bull trap. Shortly after, Bitcoin dipped and successfully retested the $84,000 level, which aligns with the weekly MA100, following several deceptive upside moves. As a result, his long orders were filled as planned, leaving him holding a position from $84,550. The analyst noted that he plans to exit only in the $98,000–$104,000 zone, where a Fair Value Gap converges with heavy liquidity, making it an ideal area to take profit. Being In Longs Doesn’t Change The Macro Bearish Thesis Mr. Wall Street clarified that holding long positions does not signal a bullish shift on Bitcoin. The broader outlook remains bearish, with expectations for the next major downside move toward the $64,000–$70,000 region. In the short term, Bitcoin is sitting at strong support while downside liquidity is limited, which reduces the probability of an immediate continuation lower.

As late buyers enter long positions, they gradually become exit liquidity, setting the stage for a larger downside move once sufficient liquidity is built. He also mentioned the $68,000–$74,000 zone had become too widely anticipated to function as a true “maximum pain” area capable of resetting market structure. For that reason, the downside target was revised lower to the $64,000–$70,000 range, with expectations that this zone could be reached in late Q1 or early Q2 of 2026. This level represents an initial major target rather than the final bottom. Recent price action was highlighted as a clear example of these dynamics. Bitcoin’s rapid move from $87,000 to $90,000, followed by a sharp drop to $85,000 within hours, resulted in widespread liquidations. Many traders chased the upside and were quickly trapped, and fake moves in both directions are likely to continue as liquidity is built ahead of a larger move lower.

A new XRP price outlook from a crypto analyst outlines its recent breakdown below $2 and the factors that could influence its next moves. According to the analysis, Bitcoin’s ongoing retracement and key support levels could trigger a stronger correction for XRP. However, this projected downtrend is expected to pave the way for a reversal to higher target levels. XRP Price Outlook Tied To Bitcoin Retracement While the broader crypto market continued to trend lower, crypto market expert Tara shared a fresh technical analysis on XRP. On Tuesday, she stated in an X post that the current XRP price structure shows it is completing a deeper pullback compared to Bitcoin, which is still progressing through its corrective phase. According to her, this mismatch is likely to create irregular price behavior for XRP in the near term. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts How Low The XRP Price Will Go Before Bouncing Tara noted that XRP recently touched the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level near $1.95 after crashing below $2 last week. On the other hand, Bitcoin’s price is only halfway to a similar Fibonacci level. She notes that Bitcoin’s gradual retracement could slightly disrupt XRP’s price movements. However, if BTC pushes for its 0.382 retracement near $88,800, the analyst believes that it could eventually serve as a major catalyst for renewed strength in XRP. In her analysis report, Tara highlighted key downside levels for XRP traders to watch closely. She disclosed that a breakdown below $1.916 could open the door for a short-term move toward $1.90, where the Lower Time Frame (LTF) support sits. She further added that another test near $1.88 remains possible as long as XRP continues to trade under $2.0. Notably, Tara has marked $2 as a key resistance zone that could cap any recovery attempt from XRP. She notes that a move back to this level would likely depend on Bitcoin pushing higher during its retracement. The accompanying chart clearly shows XRP trading in a downtrend on the 4-hour timeframe with price remaining below short-term Moving Averages (MA). Fibonacci levels also highlight $1.95 as a complete retracement area, while deeper support zones cluster between $1.90 and $1.88. The RSI indicator at the bottom of the chart is hovering in the lower range, suggesting weakening momentum but also the potential for a relief bounce if support holds. XRP Short-Term Rally Stays Under $2.30 Responding to questions under her X post, Tara provided insights into XRP’s price outlook, focusing on both short- and long-term expectations. She noted that the $2 level only represents the LTF resistance for XRP, while the real barrier lies much higher at $9. Currently trading around $1.91, a move to $9 would reflect a more than 374% price increase. Related Reading: XRP Hasn’t Entered A Bear Market Yet; Analyst Shares Why Given XRP’s downtrend and broader market uncertainty, Tara has indicated that a rally to $9 is unlikely in the near term. She also dismissed claims that the cryptocurrency could crash to $1 this December. Instead, she shared her bullish expectations, suggesting that XRP could reach no higher than $2.30 before the year runs out. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
As the market matures and the broader economic landscape shifts, Bitcoin has once again found itself at a thrilling crossroads, with the entire crypto market watching closely as momentum builds on both sides of the chart. This moment of market volatility is a profound inflection point, where the interplay of rising institutional adoption and changing global macroeconomic conditions is converging. Historical Breakout Zones Align With Price Structure Bitcoin is currently sitting at a thrilling crossroads. In an X post, an analyst known as CryptoCrewU has stated that BTC is witnessing the strongest bearish divergence in years, paired with a rare 2-week close below the 21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) of this bull run. Related Reading: Bitcoin Retail Flees, But Sharks & Whales Quietly Growing: Data Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently dipping into levels reminiscent of past pivotal moments in 2015, 2018, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2022 bottoms. Meanwhile, the Stoch RSI has yet to cross upwards, hinting at the full extent of the potential move ahead. While fear is at its peak in the market right now, history shows that buying during these market lows has consistently led to significant profits over the past 5 years. “Let data guide you, not emotions,” CryptoCrewU noted. Trader_XO highlighted that since 2015, one pattern has remained remarkably consistent in Bitcoin’s cycle. Historically, whenever breaks below the 50-week Moving Average (MA), it has often signaled a deeper move toward the 200-week MA, or even the 300-week MA. Meanwhile, BTC tends to treat the 200-week MA as a major cycle support area. The price has only dipped below the 300-week MA once in history, and anything trading below the 200-week MA has been relatively short-lived, aligning with the best part of the cycle lows. According to Trader_XO, if the price were to revisit those lower moving average levels, and the broader market context aligns, that area would be viewed as a high-probability buying opportunity, unless this time the move is different. Market Structure Shows Early Signs Of Strength Returning Bitcoin is finally showing signs of strength again. A Full-time crypto teacher, Sykodelic, has pointed out that for the first time since the drop from $116,000, the price has broken above its previous low-time-frame (LTF) range, with a strong push above the 50 SMA. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Powers Over $90K as Buyers Suddenly Regain Control of the Trend Since the $116,000 rejection, every time BTC attempts to move into an upper range, it gets rejected and makes new lows. This time, BTC has finally pushed higher. Currently, this is simply an LTF action, but these subtle shifts are exactly what to watch out for when it comes to understanding the nature of trend reversals. A daily close above $87,000 will confirm the breakout of the trend. Sykodelic concluded that moving higher after a drop like that is intricate, and it can take time. Therefore, observe the signs and move accordingly to see how the daily close goes. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com
According to crypto analyst Tony Severino, the Bitcoin price has broken below the 50-week Moving Average (MA) for the first time in the current cycle, triggering renewed fears of a deeper decline. With price momentum weakening and long-term trend indicators flashing bearish warning signals, the possibility of a price crash to $38,000 is becoming hard to ignore. 50-MA Breakdown To Trigger $38,000 Bitcoin Price Crash The Bitcoin price action took a decisive turn this week as the market slipped below the 50 MA for the first time in this four-year cycle. Severino noted in his technical analysis shared on X this Monday that the 50 MA has historically marked the beginning of extended downturns. He stated that following Bitcoin’s launch over 14 years ago, every time it has closed below the 50 MA, a prolonged bear market has followed. Related Reading: Financial Strategist Debunks Prediction That Bitcoin Price Will Reach $220,000 In 45 Days Severino’s price chart highlights BTC’s price performance from 2017 to date. In the past three Bitcoin bear markets, after the price fell below the 50-week MA, BTC continued to drop an additional 61%, 59%, and 67%. On average, the cryptocurrency has lost 62% from the break point. Applying the 62% drawdown to this cycle’s 50 MA level, the analyst predicts Bitcoin could soon experience a price crash to $38,000. From the cryptocurrency’s current price of above $87,000, this represents a staggering 60% decline. Additionally, it would imply a roughly 70% decline from its all-time high of more than $126,000. Severino warns that traders calling for a price bottom may be ignoring how far Bitcoin has historically fallen once this long-term trend fails. He indicated that the 50-week MA has repeatedly served as a dividing line between bullish and bearish phases, and that price slipping below it has more often led to extended periods of weakness and capitulation. Bitcoin Momentum Indicator Falls To Historic Lows A second analysis presented by Severino focuses on Bitcoin’s daily LMACD, which is now near levels not seen in more than 1,250 days. The oscillator has only pushed below this level six times since BTC’s 2017 macro peak. These past instances correspond to periods of heavy downside momentum where the cryptocurrency had yet to complete its bottoming process. Related Reading: One Of The Most Popular Bitcoin Advocates Dumps Millions In BTC, Here’s Why Looking at Severino’s price chart, the extended period without revisiting this lower bound suggests Bitcoin may be overdue for a momentum reset. The LMACD indicator’s current reading is also unusually weak historically, signaling that market momentum has not yet reached extreme pessimism. The readings further indicate that, although BTC remains in a downtrend, price corrections remain possible before a true bottom is established. According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin is trading below $87,000 amid volatile, choppy conditions that have contributed to its 24% decline over the past month.

The recent Bitcoin price crash is not just another dip in the market, according to analysts; it could be one of the most critical phases for its long-term bullish structure in this cycle. Crypto market expert Tara has emphasized that this ongoing retracement sets the foundation for Bitcoin’s next major bottom. Her analysis points to a potential Wave 5 correction that could drive the BTC price as low as $94,000 before the next major bullish trend begins. Bitcoin Price Eyes Recovery After Wave 5 Retracement In a technical analysis shared on X social media, Tara disclosed that Bitcoin’s latest price correction “is probably one of the most important retraces it will have in a long time.” She views the decline as an essential process that prepares the leading cryptocurrency for a strong rebound in the future. Based on her Elliott Wave analysis, there are only two waves left before the broader market shift begins. Related Reading: Analyst’s Full Market Breakdown Shows Why Bitcoin Price Is Headed For $120,000 The analyst notes that the primary reason the Bitcoin price crash is important is that it allows the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to recover, creating ideal conditions for a Bullish Divergence. Subsequently, this divergence could establish a solid bottom for BTC, which is a critical signal for the start of a renewed uptrend. In her chart, Tara identifies a key Fibonacci Retracement zone between $103,400 and $104,900 as the resistance range for its current wave. The 0.382 Fib level is located near $103,478, where the Bitcoin price intersects with the Moving Average (MA), while the 0.5 Fib level aligns with $104,943. The analyst notes that this range could act as a crucial pivot zone before BTC resumes its correction in the final Wave 5 down to $94,000. Additionally, the chart shows that Bitcoin is currently retracing from a previous low near the 0.618 Fibonacci Extension around $103,755.79. Trading volume has also declined by over 48% in the past 24 hours, while RSI remains weak at 33.96, signaling that the market is still oversold. Why The Path To $94,000 Matters For The Next Bull Cycle In responding to questions from crypto community members under her X post, Tara clarified that Bitcoin could first rise to $104,000, representing a 0.97% increase from current levels above $103,000, before crashing 9.6% to $94,000. She expects a price bottom to occur quickly and soon, whereas it may take longer for Bitcoin to build solid support before reversing into a new bullish phase. Related Reading: Here’s What Happened The Last Time The Bitcoin Price Closed October In The Red Tara stated that the ongoing retracement could peak around the day of her analysis, but the bottom might take a few more days to form. Despite the anticipated “pain,” she reassured market watchers that the correction is necessary for Bitcoin’s next leg higher. She also emphasized that the market may not feel bullish until mid-December 2025. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

The Dogecoin price may be preparing for what an analyst calls a “face-melting rally,” as fresh bullish technical patterns indicate a potential breakout. A crypto analyst notes that DOGE is entering a critical stage, similar to historical setups that have preceded significant upward moves. If the pattern plays out as expected, it would bolster the market expert’s confidence in the meme coin’s outlook. Rare Setup To Ignite Dogecoin Price Rally Market analyst Mikybull Crypto has drawn attention to a key chart formation that traders rarely encounter, the Bump & Run Reversal Bottom (BARR). According to his technical analysis shared on X social media, Dogecoin has recently completed its “Lead-in” and “Bump” phases, and now sits at the critical “Throwback to Trendline” stage, which typically precedes a steep uphill bull run. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could Break Into Double-Digit Rally From This Fibonacci Level The analyst noted that Thomas Bulkowski famously documented this textbook chart formation in his Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns (2005), with the pattern carrying a historical success rate between 64% and 68%. On the weekly chart, DOGE appears to have retested its former downtrend line, now flipped into support, after months of consolidation. If the structure plays out as outlined, Mikybull Crypto predicts that the next leg higher could see Dogecoin experiencing a “face-melting rally,” with its price potentially extending toward the $0.70 – $0.85 range. While the crypto expert’s forecast is ambitious, considering Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.23, it is still consistent with the way this rare pattern has historically unfolded after the “bump” phase, when momentum typically shifts toward buyers. According to Mikybull Crypto, traders should take note, as rallies emerging from this structure often accelerate quickly, leaving late entrants at a disadvantage. Golden Cross And Breakout Potential Point Toward Altseason In other news, crypto market expert Cas Abbe highlights short-term signals on Dogecoin’s daily chart, noting an impending Golden Cross formation. On his chart, the DOGE price action has been moving within an ascending channel and is now approaching the upper resistance band around $0.33. A breakout above this level could act as a major trigger for the broader altcoin market. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Skirts Potential Demand Zone, What Happens If It Hits Right? Cas Abbe emphasizes that when Dogecoin begins to surge, it often marks the start of the altcoin season, during which capital flows away from Bitcoin into alternative cryptocurrencies, sparking widespread rallies across the sector. Due to this, the analyst notes that the $0.33 resistance remains a critical threshold. A decisive push above it could unleash rapid upward movement in DOGE toward the $0.37 area on the chart. Priced at $0.23 at the time of reporting, Dogecoin is sitting near key Moving Averages (MA), with momentum possibly building. The cryptocurrency has been experiencing its own fair share of price declines following the recent market downturn. CoinMarketCap’s data shows that DOGE has declined by over 4.3% in the last week, and risen by only 5.6% over the past months. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
The Ethereum price has spent the past weeks stuck in a wide consolidation zone, testing bullish momentum as analysts anticipate its next big breakout. One market expert has highlighted a critical level for ETH, suggesting that as long as the second-largest cryptocurrency can hold above this level, its path to surpassing the $5,000 milestone remains intact. Ethereum Price Faces Critical Level At $4,400 According to market expert Daan Crypto Trades on X social media, Ethereum’s recent price action has been choppy following two slow weeks of trading. The analyst’s chart shows that ETH has oscillated between $4,100 and $4,800, with several stop hints and liquidity grabs creating false moves on both the bullish and bearish side. Related Reading: This Is The Key Level That Stands Between The Ethereum Price And A Surge To $5,000 Despite these fluctuations, the $4,400 zone, which sits around the 200-day Moving Average (MA) on the 4-hour chart, continues to act as the key support level that stands between ETH and the $5,000 milestone. Daan Crypto Trades noted that this critical support is not just technical but also aligns with strong accumulation levels. The analyst highlighted that Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (BMNR) has been steadily adding to positions, though at a slightly lower pace as Net Asset Value (NAV) flows ease. This shows that as long as Ethereum can maintain its price above the $4,400 support level, buyers may remain in control. The chart clearly illustrates this battle for support. ETH’s dips below $4,500 have so far been short-lived, with price consistently bouncing back into the consolidation range. This repeated defense strengthens the case for Ethereum to sustain its momentum and build the foundation for a run above $5,000. For now, patient accumulation within the consolidation zone appears to be the market’s strategy as the cryptocurrency gears up for a potential breakout once broader conditions align. $5,000 Is Only A Matter Of Time In a follow-up analysis, Daan Crypto Trades reinforced his bullish view, noting that Ethereum is essentially in a “$5,000 waiting room.” The analyst’s chart highlights this view, showing ETH rebounding strongly after retesting the $4,400 region. With both the 200 MA and 200 EMA on the 4-hour chart acting as underlying support, the cryptocurrency’s structure appears intact despite short-term volatility. Related Reading: Ethereum Price At Risk Of Crash To $4,000, Is A New ATH Still Possible? Daan Crypto Trades suggested that while a retest of $4,000 – $4,100 is still possible, the market is unlikely to sustain a breakdown below that zone as long as ETH holds $4,400. In other words, maintaining this critical support could pave the way for new all-time highs. The chart also reflected the market’s resilience, with ETH rejecting the lows and quickly climbing back toward $4,600. Such a rebound often signals that bulls may be preparing for the next leg higher. If the momentum continues, Ethereum retesting its former all-time high of $4,868 and breaking above $5,000 may only be a matter of time. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
In a significant move for the SUI market, bulls have successfully broken out of a key technical chart pattern, setting their sights on the next major resistance level at $3.50. This breakout signals a shift in momentum, as the price action re-establishes a clear upward trend. Technical Setup Signals Room For Further Upside Crypto VIP Signal, in a recent update on X, highlighted that SUI has sustained its bullish momentum exactly as anticipated, successfully breaking out of the falling wedge pattern. This breakout is a strong technical signal often associated with trend reversals, suggesting that the token has shifted from a period of consolidation into a phase of renewed upward strength. Such a move indicates that market sentiment is leaning toward optimism, with buyers steadily reclaiming control. Related Reading: 20 Million New SUI Tokens Push Treasury To New High – Details The update further explained that following the breakout, SUI retested the support line, a critical step in confirming the validity of the breakout. Holding this support level firmly not only reinforces the bullish structure but also builds a stronger foundation for future gains. This development underscores the resilience of SUI’s price action, as it demonstrates the ability of the market to absorb selling pressure while maintaining upward momentum. Looking ahead, Crypto VIP Signal pointed to $3.50 as the next key resistance level that traders and investors should keep an eye on. If this level is broken, it would likely attract more buyers into the market, creating the conditions for SUI to extend its upward trajectory and establish new short-term highs. SUI Indicators Align For Potential Upside Continuation Adding to the growing bullish outlook for SUI, Gemxbt recently emphasized in a post that the token is showing signs of a strong reversal. The analysis revealed that SUI’s price has crossed above both the 5-day and 10-day moving averages, which strengthens the case for continued upward pressure in the near term. Related Reading: SUI Holds The Line: Rounded Bottom Hints At 13% Breakout Setup Resistance is currently positioned near $3.35, a zone that will play a pivotal role in determining whether SUI can maintain its bullish breakout. On the downside, strong support is established around $3.20, serving as a safety net in case of short-term pullbacks. Holding this support will be essential for sustaining market confidence. In addition to these key levels, momentum indicators are also aligning with the current bullish narrative. The RSI has begun rising from oversold territory, signaling renewed buying interest, while the MACD has confirmed a bullish crossover. Together, these technical signals suggest that SUI could be gearing up for another upward push, with momentum building toward testing and possibly breaking above the next resistance barrier.

The XRP price remains a major focus in the crypto market, with analysts and traders often debating its long-term trajectory. A fresh report from crypto exchange Changelly has provided a new perspective, offering detailed projections for XRP’s future performance. The report reveals when the cryptocurrency could finally surpass the $2,000 milestone, alongside expectations for short- and long-term price action. XRP Price Forecasted To Surpass $2,200 By 2040 According to Changelly’s latest price analysis released on September 2, XRP is projected to surpass $2,000 in November 2040. Analysts at the exchange forecast that XRP could hit a maximum price of $2,215 in December 2040, marking a period of sustained explosive growth. In the same year, the minimum price is estimated at $1,825, while the average trading level is anticipated to reach approximately $1,969. Related Reading: Pundit Reveals What Will Happen When XRP Price Hits $100 And $1,000 What makes this bullish forecast even more striking is that in the years leading up to 2040, XRP is expected to remain below $130. This suggests that the token could undergo an unprecedented growth spurt by the time it reaches $2,000, potentially surging between 1,430% and 73,979% from its projected 2026-2034 range. If a rally above $2,000 is realized, 2040 would be a transformative year for XRP, as it would mark the first time the token enters the quadruple-digit territory. Looking further ahead, Changelly projects that by 2050, XRP could climb even higher, reaching a maximum value of $2,840 by December. Analysts at the exchange expect the token’s average price in that year to stabilize around $2,604, while the minimum price could be approximately $2,485. While these projections suggest that volatility will remain a part of XRP’s performance, it’s overall growth prospects point toward a significantly higher valuation. Changelly’s XRP Price Forecast For 2025 While Changelly’s long-term price forecast highlights XRP’s explosive potential, its technical analysis for 2025 paints a more cautious picture. The exchange predicts that in 2025, XRP could decline to a minimum value of $2.49 and a maximum of $2.82, with an average trading price of $3.14. Currently, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.83, meaning its growth for this year is expected to be limited. Related Reading: It Is ‘Genuinely Impossible’ For XRP To Hit $1,000; Pundit Warns Changelly notes that XRP’s recent market performance has been relatively muted. It has declined by 3.65% over the past week after erasing about $0.05 from its value within the last month. This downturn has placed the cryptocurrency in a dip, with analysts interpreting it as a short-term buying opportunity. Technical indicators like the Moving Averages (MA) reinforce XRP’s bearish price action. Changelly notes that the 50-day MA is trending downward on the four-hour chart, pointing to weakening short-term momentum. The 200-day MA, which began declining in late August 2025, also signals ongoing pressure in XRP’s longer-term trend. The crypto exchange also highlights that XRP’s market sentiment is 60% bearish, with a Fear & Greed Index score of 49, signaling neutrality but edging toward fear.

Solana (SOL) has once again stepped into the spotlight as analysts weigh in on its potential price trajectory. Despite recent volatility and declines, a new technical analysis suggests that the altcoin could be gearing up for a major move that could see its price skyrocket to around $268. Ascending Triangle Reveals Solana Next Targets For months, the price of Solana has been trading sideways despite hitting an all-time high of $293 in January 2025. Due to the prolonged volatility and price fluctuations, many had presumed the popular altcoin dead. But the charts suggest otherwise. Related Reading: Ethereum Leads $3.75 Billion Crypto Inflows, XRP And Solana Join The Party Jonathan Carter, a crypto market technician on X social media, has highlighted a compelling structure on the Solana daily chart, pointing out that the altcoin’s price is currently retesting the upper boundary of a long-formed Ascending Triangle. According to Carter, this retest comes after a previous false breakout, which initially trapped bulls and sent Solana back into consolidation. This time, however, the setup appears more promising, with SOL finding consistent support along its ascending trendline while gradually settling against resistance. Carter noted that Solana’s daily structure shows clear resistance zones around the $180 – $185 levels, which have capped price advances several times throughout the year. A confirmed bounce from the region could open the door for SOL to reclaim higher targets at $205 and $225, with an eventual breakout setting up a run toward $268. With the altcoin currently sitting at $181, a surge to these upper targets would represent a solid increase of 13.26%, 24.31%, and 48.07%, respectively. Based on the analyst’s chart, the presence of the 100-day Moving Average (MA) just below current levels provides additional confirmation for a potential bullish reversal. At the same time, volume patterns suggest growing interest in accumulation. For now, Carter highlights that Solana’s price remains range–bound between $165 and $190. However, the tightening structure of the Ascending Triangle signals that a breakout may be near. If buyers manage to defend the current zone, Solana’s recovery could become potentially stronger, particularly considering its history of sharp rallies once market conditions improve and resistance levels are cleared. Short-Term Pullback Before Rally? In other news, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has also shared insights on Solana’s price action, predicting that the altcoin may experience a temporary pullback before staging its next rally. His 8-hour chart, posted on X, suggests that SOL, currently trading above $181, could face downside pressure that brings the price closer to $160. Related Reading: The Multiple Opportunities Of Solana Amid Push To Break $200 This projected correction would not necessarily invalidate Solana’s bullish thesis; instead, Martinez asserts that it could present an opportunity for strategic buyers to accumulate before the next upward leg. The analyst identifies the $160 region as a key support area where buyers will likely prevent further price declines. In this context, Solana’s projected weakness could act as a springboard for a stronger rebound. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Market expert Mark Moss has drawn the crypto community’s attention to an indicator that has perfectly nailed Bitcoin cycle tops. Based on this indicator, the expert revealed that the cycle top is unlikely to happen this year, as other analysts may have predicted. Pi Cycle Top Indicator Reveals Next Bitcoin Cycle Top In an X post, Moss stated that the indicator is predicting a Bitcoin cycle top in the first quarter of 2027, not at the end of this year. He made this comment while describing the Pi Cycle Top indicator as the “Holy Grail” of Bitcoin indicators. The expert noted that the indicator nailed the Bitcoin cycle tops in 2013, 2017, and 2021. Related Reading: Analyst Sounds Alarm For 50% Crash If Bitcoin Doesn’t Make A New ATH Soon Moss admitted that this latest cycle top prediction is hard to believe, as everyone is expecting Bitcoin to peak in the fourth quarter of this year. However, the Pi Cycle Top indicator suggests that the Bitcoin cycle top will occur in Q1 2027 and that the BTC price could reach $395,000 by then. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital also recently alluded to the Pi Cycle Top indicator, noting how it was hinting at a possible cycle extension. He also confirmed that the indicator predicts a Bitcoin cycle top will occur in Q1 2027, with the flagship crypto possibly reaching $400,000. The analyst noted that, based on previous cycles, the Bitcoin cycle top is expected to happen in the fourth quarter of this year. However, the recent BTC rallies have caused the Moving Averages (MA) to shift to higher prices. With these MAs shifting with every Bitcoin rally, Rekt Capital stated that it could take at least until mid-early 2026 before a Pi Cycle Top crossover occurs. However, the analyst advised that it is still important to be cautious about Q4 of this year and possibly develop an exit strategy in case the Bitcoin cycle peaks then. The BTC 4-Year Cycle Is Over In a recent podcast, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart and Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan gave their opinions on whether the 4-year Bitcoin cycle is over. Seyffart stated that he expects the amplitude of these cycles to reduce as more institutional investors enter the BTC ecosystem. Related Reading: The Final Bitcoin Act: Here’s What To Expect As BTC Trends Sideways Based on his statement, a Bitcoin cycle top might not happen as many expect, as the analyst predicts there won’t be massive drawdowns again with the flagship crypto maturing. On the other hand, the Bitwise CIO opined that the 4-year cycle for BTC is over. He explained that the factors that drove this four-year cycle are now watered down. Meanwhile, there is a growing inflow into Bitcoin, which would continue to drive demand. In line with this, Hougan declared that 2026 will be an up year for Bitcoin. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $119,000, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
Crypto markets are under pressure as bearish momentum tightens its grip on several altcoins. SUI continues to slide below key moving averages, signaling sustained weakness, while FARTCOIN extends its downtrend with a series of lower lows and highs. With both assets nearing critical support levels and momentum indicators flashing warning signs, a bounce is coming, or downside could be imminent. Bearish Momentum Builds As SUI Trades Below Key Moving Averages In a recent post, Gemxbt highlighted that SUI is currently locked in a downtrend, with the price trading below its 5, 10, and 20-period moving averages. This alignment of short-term averages below the current price level signals sustained bearish momentum, as sellers continue to dominate market activity. Related Reading: SUI MACD Signals Massive Rally Ahead — 400% Price Surge Possible Adding to the cautious outlook, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering near oversold territory, which often indicates weakening selling pressure. While this suggests that SUI could be due for a short-term bounce or relief rally, it is not yet a strong reversal signal on its own. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator remains firmly in bearish territory, reinforcing the idea that downward momentum may persist in the near term. The lack of a bullish crossover or divergence in the MACD lines suggests that sellers still have the upper hand. Gemxbt pointed out that the key support level to watch is around $3.92. A drop below this level could accelerate the decline, while a rebound from it, especially with a noticeable increase in volume, might indicate a shift in sentiment.

However, while the RSI hints at a possible rebound, it does not yet confirm any shift in the prevailing downtrend. Meanwhile, the MACD continues to reflect bearish momentum, with no signs of a bullish crossover. This reinforces the broader downtrend and suggests that any potential bounce may be limited unless momentum indicators begin to shift more favorably. The analyst went on to state that key support is currently identified around the 0.0003500 level, while resistance lies near 0.0004500. A decisive break of either of these levels could determine the next significant move for FARTCOIN. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum is steadily gaining ground as Bitcoin’s dominance continues to decline, signaling a quiet shift in market power. As ETH captures a larger share of the crypto landscape, key support and resistance levels are now in focus, pointing to potential for further upside. Ethereum Captures Larger Market Slice as BTC Weakens In a recent update on X, The Boss pointed out that Ethereum’s dominance in the crypto market is steadily increasing, aligning with previous expectations. As Bitcoin dominance begins to slip, Ethereum is gaining momentum, gradually capturing a larger share of the total market capitalization. This shift highlights the growing confidence in Ethereum’s relative strength compared to Bitcoin under current market conditions. Related Reading: Billionaire Mike Novogratz Says Ethereum Will Enter Price Discovery If It Takes Out This Level The Boss also emphasized the technical significance of a green line marked on the dominance chart, identifying it as a key support zone. As long as Ethereum dominance remains above this level, the bullish outlook remains intact. This support has previously acted as a reliable floor during past consolidations, and holding above it could provide the foundation for further gains in dominance. Attention is now turning to potential resistance zones, which The Boss illustrated using yellow lines derived from Fibonacci retracement levels. These levels represent likely areas where ETH dominance could face selling pressure or hesitation. However, surpassing them could indicate further strengthening of Ethereum’s position in the market. Overall, The Boss’s analysis suggests that the decline in Bitcoin dominance may be fueling Ethereum’s rise, and the technical setup remains favorable for ETH as long as it stays above the highlighted support. ETH Eyes Key Resistance Zone At $3,900 Within Rising Channel Thomas Anderson recently shared his analysis of the ETHUSD H1 chart, observing that Ethereum was trading at $3,851.25 and approaching a key resistance zone between $3,876 and $3,900. Price action is unfolding within an ascending channel, with the upper yellow line marking a critical resistance area.

This moving average has played a crucial role in sustaining the uptrend and remains an important level to monitor in case of a retracement. The analyst highlighted that Ethereum is now testing the upper boundary of a larger ascending channel, with the $3,287.74 level acting as a solid support zone in the 4H context. Anderson emphasized that this level has served as a major floor during recent consolidations, indicating that any near-term pullback may stabilize there. While the trend remains bullish, ETH could face a temporary dip at current levels before a sustained breakout above the $3,900 area. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
