Crypto analyst Borovik has unveiled his 2026 bullish predictions for the XRP price, Dogecoin, and Solana. This comes as these three altcoins stand out in the ongoing crypto market rally, recording notable gains. Analyst Reveals 2026 Prediction For XRP, Dogecoin, and Solana In an X post, Borovik predicted that the XRP price will rally to $23, Dogecoin to $2, and Solana to $1,800 in 2026. He also made predictions for other major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and TRX. The analyst expects BTC to rally to $896,503, ETH to $35,000, BNB to $7,000, and TRX to $2.7. Related Reading: Analyst Warns XRP Investors Not To FOMO In, Wait For This To Happen First However, the analyst didn’t provide any basis for why the XRP price, Dogecoin, Solana, and these other coins could rally to these ambitious targets. Notably, these coins are currently the top 9 largest cryptos by market cap, excluding stablecoins USDT and USDC. These coins are also currently recording notable gains amid the recent crypto market rally. The XRP price has reclaimed the psychological $3 level and now looks set to retest higher resistance levels and possibly flip them into support. Dogecoin has also reached its most recent local high of $0.28 and is now looking to hit the $0.30 level. Solana surpassed $240 yesterday, reaching this level for the first time since January. Fundamentals have played a role in driving this rally for the XRP price, Dogecoin, and Solana. REX-Osprey is launching the first XRP and DOGE ETFs next week, under the 40 Act. These funds will still provide spot exposure to both altcoins, although they differ from the conventional spot crypto ETFs. REX-Osprey’s funds will help inject new capital into the XRP and DOGE ecosystem, which could serve as a catalyst for higher prices. Meanwhile, Solana just saw the launch of a $1.65 billion SOL treasury firm, Forward Industries. The firm completed the private placement earlier this week and immediately began buying SOL through Galaxy Digital, which was one of the investors in the private placement. This has added significant buying pressure on the crypto. More Gains Ahead For These Altcoins The XRP price, Dogecoin, and Solana are still expected to record major gains ahead amid this crypto market rally. Crypto analyst CasiTrades suggested that the consolidation period is over for XRP and that it is set to rally to a new all-time high (ATH). Her accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could rally above $4.60. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $150,000, Ethereum At $8,000, And An Altcoin Season?

Recent developments in the derivatives market now threaten the long-term bullish potential of the altcoin market based on historical data. Despite recent gains and market indicators that signal the altseason may soon begin, investors could be looking at a rather short-lived euphoria. Over the last day, the crypto market has witnessed a strong bullish momentum with the total market cap reclaiming the $4 trillion mark. Amidst these high levels of positivity, Bitcoin has gained 1.50%. However, other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (5.41%), XRP (2.99%), and Solana (5.62%) have produced larger gains, creating a miniature semblance of an altseason. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst: Altcoin Charts Flash Rare 2021-Style Breakout Setup Altcoins Open Interest Surge Points To Incoming Market Peak – Analyst Notably, these altcoins’ outperformances have drawn significant interest from derivative traders, leading to a corresponding rise in open interest — the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, e.g, futures or options, that have not yet been settled, i.e., closed, exercised, or expired. In particular, renowned crypto analyst Ted Pillows states that general altcoin open interest (excluding Ethereum) is about to surpass Bitcoin open interest for the first time in nine months. While this development suggests an emerging altseason as capital and traders’ attention shift to the altcoin market, Pillows has highlighted a potential cause for concern. The crypto market expert shares that historical data from Coinalyze shows that the last two times altcoin open interest surged above that of Bitcoin were in March 2024 and December 2024. After each event, many altcoins popularly formed a local market peak in the following two weeks. Therefore, while the present market fundamentals indicate traders are on the brink of an altseason, Pillows’ revelation indicates it would be a brief parabolic market. However, the peculiarity of the present market cycle, which is largely driven by institutional demand, suggests that any correction could be shallower than in past cycles, with capital rotating more sustainably between Bitcoin and major altcoins. Notably, several altcoin spot ETFs are also expected to be approved for trading in October, which could provide a structural inflow of liquidity, extend the rally beyond a short-lived spike.

In other news, Dutch crypto analyst Michaël Van De Poppe has admonished investors to prepare for the biggest altcoin run ever. Interestingly, Van de Poppe references an ongoing consolidation in the Gold market, which is expected to drive down interest rates. In typical fashion, lower interest rates would allow investors to divert capital to high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies, which Van De Poppe explains would contribute to fuelling a mega altcoin rally. At press time, the total altcoin market is valued at $1.71 trillion, representing around 42.25% of the total crypto market cap. Featured image from InvestX, chart from Tradingview

Solana (SOL) could be near the long-awaited price discovery phase after climbing to a seven-month high. However, an analyst suggested investors remain cautious, as the market rally is “closer to the end than the beginning.” Related Reading: Avalanche (AVAX) Hits 7-Month High After Key Resistance Breakout – Analysts Eyes $40 Next Solana Eyes Last Major Resistance On Friday, Solana reached a seven-month high of $241.84 after breaking out of its consolidation range earlier in the week. The cryptocurrency had been trading within the $120-$220 price range since the start of February, failing to reclaim the range’s high during the recent short-term recoveries. The ongoing rally has sent the cryptocurrency past multiple crucial barriers, “getting close to the final resistance,” analyst Crypto Jelle stated. He highlighted that SOL has been “quietly pushing higher, without anyone paying attention,” climbing 20% since Sunday. Now that the altcoin is attempting to reclaim the $240 area as support, the analyst pointed out that Solana has “one last hurdle to overcome” before price discovery. According to the post, if SOL reclaims the $250 level, “the sky is the limit,” as this area has been a crucial macro resistance level over the past two years. To the analyst, turning this level into support could set the base for a rally to $600. Similarly, analyst Ali Martinez suggested that SOL’s main target sits at around the $1,314.41 level after the altcoin broke out of a massive three-year cup and handle pattern. Nonetheless, Altcoin Sherpa issued a warning to investors on X, stating that “Now is NOT the time to ape in gigantic.” He asserted that despite thinking that Solana, Ethereum (ETH), and BNB “generally go higher from here, (…) the bulk of the move is done for these.” The analyst explained that he will remain bullish “until shown otherwise,” and expects a great performance in the coming months, but noted that the bull run is “closer to the end than the beginning.” “We are lucky that the marginal buyers are Tradfi with these DATs but with Saylor not buying as much, hard to tell where the next set of flows come from,” he stated. ‘SOL Season’ Momentum Grows Bitwise’s CIO Matt Hougan recently forecasted a bullish Q4 rally for Solana, affirming that the cryptocurrency has “all the ingredients (…) for an epic end-of-year run.” He suggested that it could start a “Solana Season” fueled by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and strong corporate treasury purchases. Notably, multiple spot Solana ETFs are awaiting the approval of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after the regulatory agency delayed the decision deadline last month. As a result, issuers and investors are expecting a positive outcome around the first half of October. Additionally, the recently launched Solana Treasury company, Forward Industries Inc., announced it had successfully closed its private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing on September 11, securing gross proceeds of approximately $1.65 billion for the Company. As reported by NewsBTC, Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital announced their plan to establish the SOL treasury company to purchase the cryptocurrency, stake it, and generate excess returns. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breakdown Averted?

Bitcoin (BTC) has extended, surging to a three-week high of $115,500, fueled by softer U.S. inflation data and steady inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. The rally coincided with growing investor optimism that the Federal Reserve may deliver a 25 basis-point rate cut next week, further boosting risk appetite. Related Reading: Dogecoin RSI Signal Returns—Last Time It Sparked A 1,700% Rally According to CoinMarketCap data, Ethereum (ETH) also gained ground, trading above $4,550, while altcoins like Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) recorded sharp increases. Solana climbed over 7% to $239, while Dogecoin rose 5% to $0.26, signaling broad-based strength across the crypto market. BTC's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: BTCUSD on Tradingview Market analysts credited the upward move to different macroeconomic stability and institutional inflows. Bitcoin ETFs registered more than $928 million in inflows, reinforcing demand from both retail and professional investors. Resistance Near $116K Raises Concerns Despite the bullish wave, Bitcoin faced resistance above $116,000, where sellers limited further gains. Analysts noted that rejection at this level emphasizes ongoing market caution. It is believed that the rally indicates renewed sentiment, but the rejection above $116,000 shows that sellers continue to be active. Derivatives data echoed this caution. The weekly options expiry revealed a put/call ratio of 1.3, signaling that bearish bets slightly outweigh bullish positions. This trend suggests traders expect Bitcoin to remain range-bound, with probable moves limited between $111,000 and $116,000. Meanwhile, CryptoQuant’s Bull Score Index showed that most market indicators, including the MVRV-Z score and stablecoin liquidity, have turned bearish. Analysts warn that a sudden shift in sentiment could trigger profit-taking and liquidations. What’s Next for Bitcoin (BTC)? If Bitcoin achieves a sustained breakout above $116,000, analysts believe the next target could be $118,000, with strong support around $113,700. However, volatility remains a risk as traders wait for the Fed’s upcoming interest rate decision. Adding to the positive outlook, Sean Ono Lennon, son of music legend John Lennon, recently praised Bitcoin as a hedge against “runaway money printing,” emphasizing its appeal as a scarce, decentralized asset during times of economic uncertainty.

A cryptocurrency analyst has pointed out how Solana may be moving toward a sky-high main target based on a cup-and-handle breakout. Solana Is Breaking Out Of A Cup And Handle In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared a pattern that the 1-week price of SOL has appeared to have been following during the last few years. The pattern in question is a “cup and handle” from technical analysis (TA). It’s made up of two parts: a U-shaped trendline forming the “cup” and a downward parallel channel representing the “handle.” As the asset moves through the pattern, it first goes through a decline to a low, then observes a rebound back to about the same height as before the drawdown. Finally, it once again witnesses a bearish trajectory, this time one consistent with a descending channel. When the price is inside the channel, the usual rules of the formation apply: the upper line acts as a resistance barrier, while the lower one provides support. A break out of the levels can imply a continuation of trend in that direction. Related Reading: Litecoin Surges As Whales Scoop Up 181,000 LTC A cup and handle is generally assumed to be a bullish continuation pattern, meaning that breakouts can be considered more probable to occur in the up direction. The same seems to have held true for Solana as well, as its 1-week price has just seen a surge beyond the resistance line of its multi-year cup and handle pattern. As displayed in the above graph, the weekly Solana price went down and up along a cup between 2021 and 2024, but this year, it entered into the handle or downward consolidation phase. After some period of stay inside the zone, the coin finally found a break away from it in July. This escape from the descending channel occurred with an upward surge, a potential sign that sustained bullish momentum may be coming for SOL, if the pattern is anything to go by. As for what could be a potential target for the cryptocurrency’s price, the analyst has suggested a rather bold one: $1,314.41. The target corresponds to a line from Fibonacci Extension levels. Fibonacci Extension levels are drawn on an asset’s price chart starting from a bottom point. Martinez has taken SOL’s cup low as the zero level. Each successive level corresponds to some percentage extension from this bottom, equal to a ratio from the popular Fibonacci series. Related Reading: Dogecoin To $0.50? This Channel Break Could Be The Catalyst The 1.414 Fibonacci Extension level lies at $1,314.41 for Solana right now. It now remains to be seen whether the coin will eventually surge to this mark, or if the breakout will fizzle out. SOL Price Solana has performed better than most top coins over the past week as its price has surged by more than 17%, reaching the $238 mark. Featured image from Dall-E, charts from TradingView.com
