Bitcoin Price Analysis: Navigating the Recovery
Bitcoin (BTC) showed a solid recovery on Sunday. Its momentum continued into Monday. Expectations of a potential trade deal between the US and China fueled this rise. Glassnode reported via an X post that negative sentiment and selling pressure may have peaked. This suggests a possible trend reversal.
A positive sign for bulls is BTC’s consolidation. It has remained in a large range near its all-time high for several weeks. Bears have failed to sustain any breaks below this range. This indicates bulls are not rushing to exit their positions. They anticipate another upward leg.
- Key point 1: Bitcoin’s recovery could face selling pressure at $118,000.
- Key point 2: Overcoming this resistance might lead to a retest of the all-time high of $126,199.
- Key point 3: Traders must remain cautious. Higher levels often attract sellers.
Galaxy Digital’s head of research, Alex Thorn, told Crypto News Insights that BTC’s bull market remains intact. However, a drop below $100,000 could jeopardize this structural bull market. Could BTC build upon this recovery? Or will higher levels attract renewed selling? We analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find answers.
Broader Market Influences: SPX and DXY
The S&P 500 Index (SPX) soared to a new all-time high on Friday. It extended this rally on Monday. This signals aggressive buying by bulls.
While a new all-time high is generally positive, the relative strength index (RSI) shows negative divergence. This suggests caution. If the price holds above the 20-day exponential moving average (6,704), the uptrend may continue. It could reach the psychological level of 7,000. Conversely, a sharp reversal below the 50-day simple moving average (6,603) would signal a deeper correction. The index might then tumble to 6,350.
Bulls have maintained the US Dollar Index (DXY) above its 50-day SMA (98.13). This indicates strength.
Minor resistance exists at 99.56. This level is likely to be broken. If so, the index could surge toward 100.50. Bears will try to stall the upward move at 100.50. However, if bulls break through, the rally could reach 102. This positive view invalidates if the price turns down. A break below the 50-day SMA would signal bears remain in control. The index might then slump to 97.46, and then to 97.19.
Altcoin Market Outlook: Ethereum and Other Major Players
Bitcoin rallied above its moving averages on Sunday. This signals buyers are back in charge.
The 20-day EMA ($112,337) has started to turn up. The RSI is in positive territory. This indicates a slight edge for bulls. Minor resistance is at $118,000. If this level is crossed, the BTC/USDT pair could retest its all-time high at $126,199. Time is running out for bears. They must swiftly pull Bitcoin price below the 20-day EMA to regain control. Selling pressure will intensify on a close below the $107,000 support.
Ethereum Price Forecast
Ether (ETH) closed above its 20-day EMA ($4,047) on Sunday. This signals a reduction in selling pressure.
Buyers will attempt to push Ether price above the 50-day SMA ($4,234). They will challenge the resistance line of the descending channel pattern. Sellers are expected to fiercely defend this resistance line. However, if bulls prevail, the ETH/USDT pair could surge to $4,957. It might then begin the next leg of its uptrend to $5,500. Bears must pull the price back below the channel’s support line to regain control. If they succeed, the pair may slide to $3,350.
BNB Price Action
BNB (BNB) rose above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of $1,156 on Monday. Bulls could not sustain higher levels, as shown by the day’s long wick.
If the price turns up from the 20-day EMA ($1,123), bulls will again try to resume the upward move. If successful, the BNB/USDT pair could rally to the 50% retracement level of $1,198. It might then reach the 61.2% retracement level of $1,239. Sellers are expected to defend the $1,239 level. A break above it opens doors for a rally to $1,375. The 50-day SMA ($1,067) is critical support on the downside. Sellers must sink BNB price below the 50-day SMA to suggest a near-term top.
XRP and Solana: Recovery Efforts
Bulls pushed XRP (XRP) above the 20-day EMA ($2.55) on Saturday. This indicates the start of a strong recovery.
XRP price has reached the breakdown level of $2.69. Bears are expected to mount a strong defense here. If the price turns down from $2.69 but finds support at the 20-day EMA, it suggests a sentiment shift. Selling on rallies might turn into buying on dips. The XRP/USDT pair could then climb to the downtrend line. A potential trend change will signal if the price closes above the downtrend line. Conversely, if the price turns down sharply from the current level and closes below the 20-day EMA, bears continue to sell on rallies. The pair may then drop to the $2.32 level.
Solana (SOL) rose above the 20-day EMA ($197) on Sunday. This cleared the path for a rally to the resistance line of the descending channel pattern.
Sellers will try to halt the recovery at the resistance line. However, if buyers break through, the SOL/USDT pair will likely gain momentum. Solana price could then rally to $238 and eventually to $260. Instead, if the price turns down sharply from the resistance line and breaks below the 20-day EMA, the pair might remain inside the channel longer. Bears must sink the price below the support line to seize control. Related: BTC price eyes record monthly close: 5 things to know in Bitcoin this week.
DOGE, ADA, and HYPE: Latest Price Developments
Dogecoin (DOGE) has reached the 20-day EMA ($0.20). This represents a near-term resistance to watch.
If Dogecoin price rises above the 20-day EMA, the DOGE/USDT pair could ascend. It might reach the 50-day SMA ($0.23), then the stiff overhead resistance at $0.29. Sellers are expected to vigorously defend the $0.29 level. However, if bulls overcome this challenge, the pair may start a new uptrend toward $0.35. Conversely, if the price turns down from the current level or the 50-day SMA, the pair could extend its stay. It might remain inside the $0.14 to $0.29 range for a few more days.
Failure to maintain Cardano (ADA) below $0.60 attracted buyers. They are attempting to push the price above the 20-day EMA ($0.68).
If they succeed, the ADA/USDT pair could reach the 50-day SMA ($0.78). It might then reach the downtrend line. Sellers will fiercely defend the downtrend line. A break above it could accelerate buying. Cardano price may then ascend to $1.02. The $0.60 level is vital near-term support. A break and close below $0.60 could pull the pair to solid support at $0.50. Buyers are expected to step in there.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) broke above the 20-day EMA ($41.60) on Saturday. It followed this with a break above the 50-day SMA ($46.14) on Sunday.
This suggests bears are losing their grip. The HYPE/USDT pair could rally to $51.43. This is a critical level for bears to defend. If they fail, Hyperliquid price could retest the all-time high at $59.41. The 20-day EMA will likely act as strong support on any pullback. Sellers must swiftly pull the price back below the 20-day EMA to regain control. If they do that, the pair could retest the crucial support at $35.50.
