Bitcoin's recent bounce from the $80,000-$83,000 bracket has reignited optimism about a potential upswing for the cryptocurrency sector. Although a potential bear trap has appeared for Ethereum, XRP faces resistance near the $2.30 mark. Meanwhile, Solana is grappling with breaking free from the constraints of a $145 range.
What Drives Bitcoin and XRP’s Uptrend?
At the start of this month, Bitcoin made a notable leap to $93,100, hinting at a possible escape from the prevailing downtrend over the past three weeks. Overcoming the resistance descending from October 8’s peak is crucial for this breakout. Some experts believe the flat MACD histogram on hourly charts shows a phase of consolidation, despite daily indicators painting a more bullish picture.
The $80,000-$83,000 level remains a defense line for investors, ensuring the sustainment of the upward trajectory. Despite profit-taking by significant market players, the broad outlook remains bullish, pointing to a long-term positive sentiment.
XRP’s surge past the $2 threshold has pushed its price back over the Ichimoku cloud, with a noticeable upward curve on hourly graphs. However, the $2.28-$2.30 resistance zone restricts further gains. Exceeding this could lead XRP to target $2.50, whereas failing might retest the $2 support.
Why are Ethereum and Solana on the Rise?
Following a classic bear trap scenario, Ethereum slipped beneath the downward channel band, only to swiftly regain its stance, signalling a reduction in selling pressure. Experts predict a promising attempt at $3,100 soon, aiming next for $3,500. Between $2,600 and $2,700, support remains strong.
Solana is challenging the upper boundary of its horizontal channel at $145. Although short-term momentum hints at slowing down, the daily picture remains bright. Analysts expect a breakthrough could see SOL reaching $165 if capital inflows remain robust.
Current data indicate Bitcoin trading at $93,276 with a 7.35% increase over 24 hours, Ethereum up by 8.93% to $3,060, XRP rising 9.03% to $2.20, and Solana jumping 11.60% to $142.34. This portrays a renewed vigor across major cryptocurrencies.
