Key points:
-
Bitcoin is attempting to rally, but higher levels are likely to attract strong selling from the bears.
-
Several major altcoins are at risk of falling below their support levels.
Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded above the $86,000 level, but the bulls are struggling to sustain the higher levels. This shows selling on rallies.
Although analysts are divided on the near-term outlook for BTC, Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao said in an interview with CNBC that BTC could experience a super cycle over the next 12 months.
In contrast, Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone said in an interview with Cointelegraph that BTC has reached a long-term high. He added that he didn’t know where the bottom was, but that “it would be like a cheap cure.”
However, several institutional investors have a different opinion as they believe that BTC is undervalued between $85,000 and $95,000. Coinbase said in its Charting Crypto Q1 2026 report that 80% of institutional investors surveyed plan to hold or increase their crypto positions in the event of a further 10% decline.
Could BTC and major altcoins maintain their support levels? Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
S&P 500 Index Price Prediction
The S&P 500 Index (SPX) rebounded sharply from the 50-day simple moving average (6,840) on Tuesday, indicating a buy on the dip.
The 20-day exponential moving average (6,904) is flattening and the relative strength index (RSI) is just above the midpoint, indicating that bullish momentum is weakening. Buyers will need to push the price above the 7,000 level to begin the next leg of the uptrend towards 7,290.
The sellers will likely have other plans. They will attempt to take the price back below the 50-day SMA, beginning a deeper correction towards 6,720.
US Dollar Index Price Prediction
The US Dollar Index (DXY) fell below the moving averages on Tuesday and support at 97.74 on Friday.
Sellers will attempt to push the price up to strong support at 96.21, which is a critical level to watch. If the support gives way, the index could resume its downtrend towards the 94.62 level.
Buyers have a daunting task ahead of them. They will need to push the price above the moving averages to keep the index in a range between 96.21 and 100.54 for some time to come.
Bitcoin Price Prediction
BTC declined from the 20-day EMA ($90,521) on Friday and dipped below the uptrend line on Sunday.
The 20-day EMA has started to decline and the RSI is in the negative zone, signaling an advantage for the bears. Any recovery attempt should result in a sell-off to the moving averages. If the price declines from the moving averages, the BTC/USDT pair could plunge to $84,000 and then to $80,600.
This negative opinion will be invalidated in the short term if the price of Bitcoin increases and exceeds the moving averages. The pair could reach the resistance at $97,924.
Ether Price Prediction
Ether’s (ETH) symmetrical triangle pattern resolved lower with a break below the support line on Sunday.
Buyers will attempt to push Ether price back into the triangle, but are expected to face significant resistance from the bears. If the price declines sharply from the moving averages, the probability of a decline to $2,623 increases.
Bulls will need to quickly push price back above the moving averages to suggest that the break below the triangle may have been a bear trap. The ETH/USDT pair could reach the triangle resistance line.
XRP Price Prediction
XRP (XRP) gradually fell into the descending channel pattern, signaling that bears remain in control.
There is support at $1.81, but the relief rally risks selling off at the 20-day EMA ($1.97). If the price declines sharply from the 20-day EMA, the XRP/USDT pair could fall to the strong support at $1.61.
On the contrary, if XRP price rises above the moving averages, the recovery could reach the downtrend line. A close above the downtrend line suggests a potential near-term trend change.
BNB Price Prediction
BNB (BNB) closed below the 50-day SMA ($883) on Sunday, indicating that the bulls are losing their grip.
The bounce from the uptrend line is expected to face a sell-off at the 20-day EMA ($896). If BNB price declines from the 20-day EMA, this increases the possibility of a decline to the $790 support. Buyers will have to defend the $790 level with all their might, as a close below could resume the downtrend.
The first sign of strength will be a close above the moving averages. The BNB/USDT pair could then rise to the overhead resistance at $959.
Solana Price Prediction
Solana (SOL) bounced off the $117 support on Monday, indicating that bulls are defending the level.
The relief rally is expected to face a sell-off at the 20-day EMA ($131). If the price declines sharply from the 20-day EMA, the risk of a fall below the $117 level increases. The SOL/USDT pair could then plunge towards strong support at $95.
Contrary to this assumption, if Solana price rises and rises above the moving averages, it indicates that the pair could continue to oscillate in the $117-$147 range for some time to come.

Dogecoin Price Prediction
Buyers are attempting to hold Dogecoin (DOGE) above the $0.12 level, but bears continue to exert pressure.
If the $0.12 support gives way, the DOGE/USDT pair could begin the next leg of its downtrend until October 10, 2025, at the low of $0.10.
If the price rebounds from the current level, the bears will attempt to stop the recovery at the moving averages. If this happens, the possibility of a break below the $0.12 level increases. Buyers will need to push Dogecoin price above the moving averages to keep the pair in the $0.12 to $0.16 range.
Cardano Price Prediction
Cardano (ADA) has fallen from the $0.33 support, which is a critical near-term level to watch.
Buyers will need to quickly propel Cardano price above the downtrend line to signal strength. The ADA/USDT pair could then rise to the $0.50 breakout level, which should pose a tough challenge for the bulls.
Sellers will work to stop the recovery at the downtrend line. If the price declines from the upper resistance, the bears will again attempt to take the pair below $0.33. If they succeed, the next stop will likely be the support line of the descending channel pattern, which is near the October 10, 2025 low, at $0.27.
Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) declined sharply from the 20-day EMA ($596) on Sunday, but a minor positive is that the bulls held the $563 level.
The declining 20-day EMA and RSI in negative territory suggest that the bears will once again attempt to push Bitcoin Cash price below the $563 support. If they succeed, the BCH/USDT pair will complete a bearish head and shoulders pattern. The pair could then plunge to $518.
Conversely, if buyers push the price above the moving averages, the pair could rally back to $631. Sellers are expected to fiercely defend the $631-$670 area.
