Key points:
-
Bitcoin is showing considerable strength in the near term, opening the door for a rally to $100,000 and then $107,500.
-
Some major altcoins are showing strength, but Monero (XMR) is leading the way.
After Tuesday’s strong rally, Bitcoin (BTC) bulls are attempting to extend their gains above $97,000. Strong inflows of $753.8 million into BTC exchange-traded funds on Tuesday, according to data from Farside Investors, show the rally was supported by strong buying from institutional investors.

Another bullish case was presented by crypto analyst Midas, who said in an article on X that BTC’s current structure follows the 2020-2021 cycle. If history repeats itself, BTC could reach $150,000.
However, not everyone is completely bullish on BTC. Global investment management firm VanEck said in its Q1 2026 outlook that BTC’s four-year cycle has broken in 2025, supporting “a more cautious near-term outlook for the next 3-6 months.” Interestingly, some of the company’s analysts have different views, “remaining more constructive on the immediate cycle,” the report adds.
What are the target levels to watch in BTC and major altcoins? Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
Bitcoin Price Prediction
BTC rose above the $94,789 resistance on Tuesday, but the breakout risks selling near the $96,846 level.
The rising 20-day exponential moving average ($91,418) and the relative strength index (RSI) near the overbought zone signal that the bulls are in control. A close above the $96,848 level sets the stage for a rally to $100,000 and then to $107,500.
The first downside support is the $94,789 breakout level and then the 20-day EMA. Sellers will need to quickly push the price below the 50-day simple moving average ($89,959) to weaken the bullish momentum.
Ether Price Prediction
Ether (ETH) broke above the symmetrical triangle resistance line on Tuesday, indicating that the bulls have dominated the bears.
The bears will attempt to bring the price back inside the triangle, but if the bulls successfully defend the resistance line, the ETH/USDT pair could rally to $3,659 and then to $4,000.
Contrary to this assumption, if price falls back into the triangle, it will likely find support at the moving averages. If the price rebounds from the moving averages, the bulls will again attempt to resume their upward movement. Bears will be back in control at a close below the support line.
XRP Price Prediction
XRP (XRP) bounced off the moving averages on Tuesday, indicating solid demand at lower levels.
The ascending 20-day exponential moving average ($2.06) and the RSI in positive territory indicate that the bulls have the upper hand. This increases the possibility of a breakout above the downtrend line, signaling a potential trend change. The XRP/USDT pair could then rebound to $2.70.
This positive opinion will be invalidated in the short term if the price of XRP declines and falls below the moving averages. This suggests that the pair could remain in the descending channel for some time to come.
BNB Price Prediction
BNB (BNB) closed above the $928 level on Tuesday, completing a bullish ascending triangle pattern.
The bears will attempt to trap the aggressive bulls by pulling the BNB price below the moving averages. If they succeed, the BNB/USDT pair could fall to the uptrend line and then to $790.
Conversely, if the price rises from the $928 level, it suggests that the bulls have tipped the level towards support. This increases the likelihood of a rally towards the $1,066 target.
Solana Price Prediction
Solana (SOL) hit the $147 level on Tuesday, where the bears are expected to pose a strong challenge.
The ascending 20-day EMA ($135) and RSI near the overbought zone suggest that the path of least resistance is to the upside. If buyers break above the $147 level, the SOL/USDT pair could gain momentum and climb towards $172.
Moving averages are the crucial support to watch on the downside. A break below the moving averages indicates that the bulls have given up. This could keep Solana price in the $117-$147 range for a few more days.
Dogecoin Price Prediction
Dogecoin (DOGE) popped up against the moving averages on Tuesday, signaling that the bulls are trying to take matters into their own hands.
If buyers push the price above the $0.16 resistance, the DOGE/USDT pair will complete a bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern. Dogecoin price could then rebound towards the target target of $0.20.
Instead, if the price declines sharply from the $0.16 level, it suggests that the bears continue to sell on rallies. This could keep the pair in a range between $0.16 and $0.12 for some time.
Cardano Price Prediction
Buyers successfully defended the 20-day EMA ($0.39) in Cardano (ADA), indicating positive sentiment.
There is minor resistance at $0.44, but if the level is breached, the ADA/USDT pair could rebound to the breakout level of $0.50. The rally is expected to face significant selling at the $0.50 level, but if the bulls prevail, Cardano price could rise to $0.60. Such a development signals a potential trend change in the short term.
Sellers will need to quickly drop the price below the moving averages if they want to maintain the advantage. The pair could then slide to $0.33.

Monero Price Prediction
Monero (XMR) has rallied strongly since bouncing off the 20-day EMA ($510) on Saturday, indicating aggressive buying from the bulls.
The vertical rally pushed the RSI above the 87 level, signaling that the XMR/USDT pair is overbought in the near term. This could lead to a few days of consolidation or correction in the short term.
Any pullback should find support at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of $607. A slight correction increases the likelihood of the uptrend continuing. The price of Monero could then skyrocket to $915. The bullish momentum is expected to weaken at the close below the 50% retracement level of $571.
Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) attempts to find support at the moving averages, but the bears continue to exert pressure.
A breakout and close below the 50-day SMA ($589) suggests that the market has rejected the breakout above the $631 level. This could trap aggressive bulls, pulling the BCH/USDT pair to $563 and then to $518.
On the contrary, the bulls will attempt to resume the uptrend by pushing the Bitcoin Cash price above the $670 level. If they succeed, the pair could rise to $720, where sellers are expected to step in.
Chainlink Price Prediction
Chainlink (LINK) rose sharply against the moving averages on Tuesday, indicating that bulls are attempting to form a higher low.
The bulls will attempt to strengthen their position by pushing Chainlink price above the $14.98 resistance. If they succeed, the LINK/USDT pair could rise towards $17.66. This brings the wide range of $10.94 to $27 into play.
The sellers will likely have other plans. They will try to stop the recovery at the $14.98 level and bring the price back below the moving averages. This could keep the pair stuck in the $11.61 to $14.98 range for some time to come.
