Key points:
– Bitcoin’s shallow pullback from the $76,000 level suggests buyers are defending positions and expect the recovery to continue.
– Several major altcoins are showing strength and may break their overhead resistance levels.
Bitcoin (BTC) pulled back after testing $76,000, but bulls have so far prevented a drop below $73,500, indicating they remain committed to pushing higher. Tuesday’s move toward $76,000 was supported by $411.5 million of inflows into U.S. spot BTC ETFs, according to SoSoValue, taking 2026 net flows into the positive at roughly $245 million.
Some analysts argue the bottom is already in around $60,000, while others warn of a possible final flush to $50,000 before a true bottom. Trend reversals can be challenging to trade, so remaining flexible when charts turn bullish is important.
Below is a chart-by-chart view of the top 10 crypto assets to assess whether BTC and select altcoins can clear their overhead resistance.
Bitcoin price outlook
BTC bounced from the 20-day exponential moving average (20-day EMA) near $71,116 and reached $76,000. Sellers are likely defending $76,000; a daily close above it would complete a bullish ascending triangle and open a path toward $84,000. A strong rebound from the 20-day EMA would favor bulls and raise the odds of breaking $76,000. Conversely, a close below the triangle’s support line would return control to sellers.
Ether price outlook
Ether (ETH) faces resistance at $2,415 but bulls have not relinquished much ground. A recovery from current levels or from the 20-day EMA (~$2,198) would increase the chance of a break above $2,415 and could propel ETH toward $2,800 and then $3,050. Sellers need to push price below the moving averages to erode bullish momentum; failure to do so risks a drop to $1,916.
XRP price outlook
XRP is struggling to clear the 50-day simple moving average (50-day SMA) around $1.37, suggesting bears are active above current levels. If XRP falls below the 20-day EMA (~$1.35), it may consolidate between the 50-day SMA and $1.27. A break below $1.27 would tilt the edge to bears. A close above the 50-day SMA would signal a sustained recovery toward the descending channel’s downtrend line, with bulls gaining the upper hand on a close above that line.
BNB price outlook
BNB reached the 50-day SMA (~$626) where bears are defending strongly. If bulls hold current ground, BNB could break above the 50-day SMA and target $687, then $730 and $790 if momentum continues. A daily close below $570 would signal bear control and could send BNB toward $500.
Solana price outlook
Solana (SOL) has failed to climb above the 50-day SMA (~$85), with moving averages flat and RSI near the midpoint—signs of consolidation. Expect SOL to trade in the $76–$98 range until a decisive close above $98 or below $76. A break under $76 would favor bears and might drop SOL to $67. A close above $98 would open room toward $117.
Dogecoin price outlook
Dogecoin (DOGE) cleared the moving averages but posted a long wick on the rally candle, showing selling pressure on rallies. If DOGE slips below the moving averages, bears could aim for $0.09 and then $0.08 and $0.06. Alternatively, a move above the 20-day EMA (~$0.09) and a break over $0.10 would indicate waning bear control and could push DOGE to $0.11 and $0.12.
Hyperliquid price outlook
Hyperliquid (HYPE) is contesting the breakout level at $43.76. A rally that clears $45.30 would suggest $43.76 has flipped to support and increase the likelihood of a move to $50. If price falls below the 20-day EMA (~$40), the breakout could be a bull trap and HYPE may decline to the 50-day SMA (~$36.77).
Cardano price outlook
Cardano (ADA) has been oscillating between the 50-day SMA (~$0.26) and $0.23 support. The 20-day EMA (~$0.25) is tilting down and RSI is negative, giving bears a slight edge. A break below $0.23 could send ADA toward the descending channel’s support and likely below $0.22. Buyers need to push ADA above the downtrend line to signal a trend change and open a path toward $0.36.
Bitcoin Cash price outlook
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) failed to sustain a move above the 20-day EMA (~$444) as bears defended higher levels. Sellers will try to drive BCH below $419; if successful, a drop toward $375 could follow. The bearish case is invalidated if buyers push BCH above the moving averages and then toward $486, where bears may again resist.
Chainlink price outlook
Chainlink (LINK) is trading near the moving averages, suggesting equilibrium between supply and demand. Flat moving averages and an RSI just above midpoint imply LINK may remain range-bound between $8 and $10. A close above $10 would open a rally to $10.94 and then $11.61, while bears must pull LINK below $8 to regain the advantage.
