After weeks of fluctuating, the crypto market has abruptly turned green. But what exactly is causing the rise of today’s Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana? Is it the beginning of a new bullish period, or just a temporary bounce before another correction?
The market has played a strong recovery card by pushing Bitcoin near $93,000, Ethereum above $3,200, and XRP and Solana are still gaining strength.
For the last 24 hours, total crypto market capitalization has increased by 1.6% to $3.25 trillion, and this is the fifth time in a row we are seeing green candles printed.
Let's see what's going on and what the possible future price scenarios are.
Bitcoin is currently stuck within the range of $92,000 to $94,000, which is a very important resistance zone. The last time it approached this zone was in November, and it couldn't break above.
Technical practitioners have theorized that Bitcoin is tracing a gold-like fractal pattern, where the period of long consolidation was followed by a sharp breakout.
If the $94,000 level is taken out and held, it might mean that the bulls are in control, and a rally towards the $100,000 mark in the short term would become a strong possibility.
On the other hand, if Bitcoin gets rejected at this level, a drop towards the support levels around $88,000-90,000 may follow.
Ethereum price has been characterized by a symmetrical triangle formation on the daily chart, a typical sign of market compression before a significant movement. As per Ali, ETH is around $3,328, and it is at a point where a decision needs to be made.
A confirmed breakout above the triangle could trigger a 30% upside move, while a downside breakdown may cause short-term weakness. According to Crypto GEMs’ analysis, Ethereum has already completed most of its correction, with only one major resistance left.
The scenario where ETH successfully passes the last obstacle would then see the bullish force take the prices upstairs to $7,000 sooner or later.
Currently, the XRP price is showing a descending channel, indicating a controlled correction instead of panic selling. Experts see the structure of XRP comparable to that of gold and silver, both of which lie on long bases before ascending rapidly.
The 21 EMA is the level that traders must pay the closest attention to. A close above the 21 EMA would be a sign of price gaining momentum to break through the channel around $2.30. The bulls may then take XRP to the $3.10-$3.30 area.
Probability outlook:
60% upside breakout
30% sideways move
10% pull down to $1 due to market pressure risk
Solana price is one of the most bullish signals among cryptocurrencies. On the weekly chart, SOL has formed a bullish engulfing candle, a pattern that often indicates major trend reversals following prolonged downtrends.
In the near term, the Solana price is creating a rectangle pattern, which is a sign of support from buyers. Once this pattern is breached to the upside, the first target for a price movement is above $150.
In fact, some of the bold long-term forecasts are even putting $2,000 as a possible target if the breakout structure plays out completely—though these targets are heavily dependent on both market conditions and widespread usage.
The leading cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana, are the result of a combination of technical breakouts, bullish chart patterns, and positive market sentiment.
The overall structure seems to indicate that slowly but surely, the momentum is shifting back to the buyers, although resistance levels are still very crucial.
The current dilemma is— will the breakout last, or will the sellers again take control? The following trading days are very important because they could determine the market direction for several weeks.
