Key points:
– Bitcoin remains under pressure as bears try to keep price below $74,508.
– Several major altcoins are struggling to hold support, increasing the chance the downtrend resumes.
Bitcoin bulls tried a recovery but sellers pushed BTC below $72,169. Galaxy Digital research lead Alex Thorn warned BTC may drop to its realized price of $56,000 in the coming weeks due to a lack of catalysts. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, however, expects crypto markets could “come roaring back sooner rather than later.”
Historically, BTC closing below the 100-week simple moving average (SMA) has led to prolonged stays beneath it — from 182 to 532 days in past instances — with the 2020 COVID flash crash as the lone quick exception.
Could BTC and major altcoins rally or will supports fail? Chart-by-chart outlook for the top 10 tokens:
Bitcoin price prediction
Buyers are struggling to keep BTC above the critical $74,508 support, showing aggressive selling. A drop below $72,945 would signal a resumed downtrend and could push BTC toward strong support around $60,000. The RSI is oversold, making a relief rally possible; a close above $79,500 could accelerate gains toward the $84,000 breakdown level.
Ether price prediction
Ether found support at $2,111, but the weak bounce suggests limited buying. A break below $2,111 would open the way to $1,750. The oversold RSI supports a near-term relief rally to the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $2,467 and then the 20-day EMA near $2,712. A close above the 20-day EMA would signal bulls regaining control.
BNB price prediction
BNB trades below $790, raising the risk of a drop under $730. A close below $730 would confirm $790 as resistance and could send BNB to $700 and then $645. Bulls need to defend $730 and push above $790 to target the 20-day EMA (~$839).
XRP price prediction
Failure to sustain $1.61 shows bears sell relief rallies. Sellers may try to break the descending channel support; a break could retest the Oct. 10, 2025 low near $1.25. Bulls must lift price above the 20-day EMA (~$1.79) and the downtrend line to suggest a short-term trend shift.
Solana price prediction
Bulls failed to clear $107, and sellers pulled SOL below $95. A close under $95 would indicate the next down leg toward $79. Conversely, a recovery above $107 would suggest a possible bear trap and could lift SOL to the 20-day EMA (~$117), where resistance is expected.
Dogecoin price prediction
DOGE’s shallow bounce shows continued selling pressure. If DOGE turns down from current levels or the 20-day EMA (~$0.12) and falls below $0.10, the downtrend may resume toward $0.08. A decisive move above the moving averages could propel DOGE to $0.16.
Cardano price prediction
ADA is attempting a bounce from the descending channel support, but the relief rally lacks conviction. If ADA falls from current levels or the 20-day EMA (~$0.33) and breaks the channel support, the decline could extend to $0.20. Clearing the 20-day EMA and the downtrend line would open a path to $0.50.
Bitcoin Cash price prediction
BCH’s recovery meets resistance near the 50% retracement at $535, showing seller interest higher up. A drop below $497 would risk further declines to $467 and $443. If buyers push BCH above $544, the pair could rise to the 20-day EMA (~$562) and possibly to $604 if bulls hold momentum.
Hyperliquid price prediction
HYPE pierced $35.50 but showed wicks signaling selling at higher levels. If buyers hold ground, a break above $35.50 could run to $44, suggesting the corrective phase may end. If HYPE falls below the 20-day EMA (~$28.79), it may trade between $35.50 and $20.82 for longer.
Monero price prediction
XMR is trying to hold $360, but relief rallies face resistance at $412 and the 20-day EMA (~$461). A failure to advance would put $360 at risk, with the next support at $320. If XMR climbs above the 20-day EMA, it could reach $500, where strong selling is likely. After sharp declines, consolidation often precedes the next directional move.
