Key points:
-
Bitcoin’s inability to hold above $90,000 indicates negative sentiment, in which rallies are being sold off.
-
Several major altcoins are threatening to fall below their recent lows.
Bitcoin (BTC) fell back below $87,000, indicating a lack of demand at higher levels. Glassnode said in an article on X that the 30-day simple moving average (SMA) of net flows into BTC and ETH exchange-traded funds turned negative, reporting:
“a phase of moderate participation and partial disengagement of institutional distributors”.
Along with institutional investors, the participation of retail investors and short-term traders has also declined. CryptoQuant data shows that the 30-day SMA of active addresses fell to 807,000, its lowest level over the last year.
Additionally, the 30-day SMA of Binance deposit and withdrawal addresses shows a drop to yearly lows, indicating a market deadlock.
BTC saw neither an exploded high in 2025 nor a sharp decline of 70% or 80%. Entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano said in an interview on CNBC that some investors are disappointed that BTC has not reached $150,000 or more. However, they should keep in mind that BTC has increased by 300% in three years.
What are the crucial support levels to watch in BTC and major altcoins? Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
Bitcoin Price Prediction
Buyers pushed the price above the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) ($88,850) on Monday, but the long wick on the candlestick shows selling at higher levels.
The bears will attempt to pull the price up to the crucial support at $84,000, which is likely to attract buyers. If Bitcoin price moves from $84,000 and above the 20-day EMA, this suggests a possible short-term range formation. The BTC/USDT pair could range from $84,000 to $94,589 for some time.
On the contrary, if the price breaks below $84,000, it signals the resumption of the decline. The pair could fall to $80,600 and eventually reach vital support at $74,508.
Ether Price Prediction
Ether (ETH) breached the 20-day EMA ($3,010) on Monday, but the bulls were unable to breach the resistance at the 50-day SMA ($3,088).
The bears attempt to take control by pulling the Ether price below the support line of the symmetrical triangle pattern. If they succeed, the ETH/USDT pair could drop to $2,623 and then to $2,373.
Conversely, if the price rises sharply from the support line and breaks above the moving averages, it suggests that the pair could remain inside the triangle for some more time. Buyers will be back in the game once ETH price closes above the resistance line.
BNB Price Prediction
BNB (BNB) declined from the 20-day EMA ($865) on Monday, indicating selling during minor rallies.
The BNB/USDT pair is at risk of falling below the uptrend line. If this happens, the BNB price could drop all the way to the $790 level. This is a crucial level for bulls to defend, as a break below $790 could send the pair down to $730.
On the contrary, if the price rebounds from the uptrend line or the $790 level and breaks above the 20-day EMA, it suggests that the pair could rally back to $928. A close above $928 opens the door for a rally to $1,019, signaling that the corrective phase may be over.
XRP Price Prediction
XRP (XRP) has resumed its slide towards the support line of the descending channel pattern, indicating that bears are in control.
The bulls are expected to aggressively defend the $1.61 level, but if the bears prevail, the XRP/USDT pair could plunge towards the October 10 low at $1.25.
Instead, if the price breaks away from the support line and breaks above the moving averages, it suggests that the pair could stay inside the channel for a while longer.
The bulls will be back in control at a close above the downtrend line. The pair could then rebound towards $3.10.
Solana Price Prediction
Solana’s (SOL) failure to break above the 20-day EMA ($128) indicates that every relief rally is being sold off.
The SOL/USDT pair is at risk of falling below the $116 level. If this happens, Solana price could fall to $108 and possibly to the critical support of $95, where buyers should step in.
On the upside, bulls will need to push price above the moving averages to signal strength. A short-term trend change will be indicated once the pair moves above the $147 resistance. The pair could then progress towards $172.
Dogecoin Price Prediction
Dogecoin (DOGE) denied the 20-day EMA ($0.13) on Tuesday, indicating that bears remain in control.
Sellers will attempt to start a new downtrend by bringing the Dogecoin price below $0.12. If they succeed, the DOGE/USDT pair could slide to the October 10 low of $0.10.

This bearish view will be invalidated in the short term if the price rises from the current level and exceeds the moving averages. Such a move suggests that the market has rejected the break below the $0.13 support. The pair could then rise to $0.16 and then to $0.19.
Cardano Price Prediction
Cardano (ADA) declined from the $0.37 level, indicating that the bears are attempting to tip the level into resistance.
Sellers will attempt to resume the downtrend by bringing Cardano price below $0.34. If they do, the ADA/USDT pair could plunge to $0.30 and, after that, to the October 10 low of $0.27.
Time is running out for the bulls. They will need to quickly push the price above the moving averages to signal a return. The pair could then rally back to the $0.50 breakout level, which would likely pose a major hurdle.
Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) broke above the 20-day EMA ($570) on Monday, but the bulls were unable to sustain the rebound.
The bears are trying to strengthen their position by pushing the price of Bitcoin Cash below the 20-day EMA. If they succeed, the BCH/USDT pair could move as low as the 50-day SMA ($541).
On the contrary, if BCH price rises sharply against the moving averages, it suggests that bulls continue to buy on dips. This increases the likelihood of a rally towards the $631-$651 resistance zone.
Chainlink Price Prediction
Chainlink (LINK) declined from the 20-day EMA ($12.91) on Monday, indicating that bears continue to sell on rallies.
There is minor support at $11.61, but if the level breaks, the LINK/USDT pair could fall to strong support at $10.94. Buyers should vigorously defend the $10.94 level, as a break below could send LINK price tumbling to the October 10 low of $7.90.
Buyers will need to push the pair above the moving averages to gain the upper hand. The pair could then rise to $15.01. A breakout and close above the $15.01 resistance suggests the downtrend may be over.
Hyperliquid price prediction
The Hyperliquid (HYPE) rebound couldn’t even reach the 20-day EMA ($27.09), indicating a lack of demand from the bulls at higher levels.
The bears will attempt to push the hyperliquid price below the $22.19 support. If they succeed, the HYPE/USDT pair could retest the October 10 low at $20.82. Buyers should intervene at the $20.82 level, as a break below could send the pair tumbling to $16.90.
The bulls will need to push the price above the 20-day EMA to signal strength. The pair could then rise to $29.37 and later to the breakout level of $35.50.
