Bitcoin (BTC) – A Look Beyond $100,000
Bitcoin’s rally to $100,000 on May 8 was a significant milestone, and the bulls are now seeking to consolidate their gains. One key factor to watch is the extent to which buyers can maintain their dominance above the psychologically critical level. If they succeed, the next hurdle could be the all-time high of $109,588. However, if the price turns down from $100,000 and breaks below the 20-day EMA ($94,879), it would indicate a short-term pullback and potentially even a retest of the 50-day SMA ($88,139).
Ethereum (ETH) – Ready to Soar?
Ethereum’s 22% surge on May 8 has put it in a strong position to break out above the $2,550 resistance level. While sellers are likely to defend this level aggressively, a successful break could propel the price toward $2,850. Indeed, the long wick on the candlestick suggests that solid buying pressure is building up, which could propel the ETH/USDT pair upward in the coming days.
XRP (XRP) – A Crucial Resistance Line to Watch
XRP’s recent price action has been impressive, with the asset surging above the $153 resistance level on May 8. However, the bears will likely try to defend the $180 resistance line, which has historically acted as a formidable barrier. If the price turns down from $180 and breaks below the moving averages, it could signal a short-term pullback, potentially to the 20-day EMA ($160).
BNB (BNB) – A Potential Breakout Candidate
BNB’s price action has been relatively muted in recent weeks, but the asset still has the potential to break out above the $620 resistance level. Sellers will likely defend this level vigorously, but if the bulls can maintain their momentum, the BNB/USDT pair could soar to $680. Time is running out for the bears, and if they want to halt the up move, they’ll need to yank the price below the moving averages.
Solana (SOL) – A Bullish Bias Persists
Solana’s inverse head-and-shoulders pattern is a clear indication of a bullish bias, with the asset poised to break out above the $3.90 resistance level. The 20-day EMA ($3.29) is also flipping upward, suggesting that the bulls have the upper hand. If the price remains above the neckline, Solana could rally to $4.25 and eventually to $5.
Dogecoin (DOGE) – Will the Price Continue to Rise?
Dogecoin’s recent price action has been impressive, with the asset surging above the neckline of its inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. The 20-day EMA ($0.67) is also turning up, signaling a potential continuation of the up move. Sellers will likely try to defend the overhead resistance at $0.83, but if the bulls can maintain their momentum, Dogecoin could break out to new highs.
Cardano (ADA) – Bullish Momentum Building
Cardano’s price action has been relatively steady in recent weeks, but the asset still has the potential to break out above the $3.40 resistance level. The 20-day EMA ($3.29) is turning up, and the RSI is near the overbought zone, suggesting that the bulls are gaining momentum. If the price remains above the neckline, Cardano could rally to $4.15) and eventually to $5.
Sui (SUI) – A Potential Breakout Candidate
Sui’s recent price action has been impressive, with the asset surging above the neckline of its inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. The 20-day EMA ($3.29) is turning up, and the RSI is near the overbought zone, suggesting that the bulls are gaining momentum. If the price remains above the neckline, Sui could break out to new highs, potentially reaching $5.50.
Chainlink (LINK) – A Potential Reversal Pattern
Chainlink’s recent price action has been relatively flat, but the asset still has the potential to break out above the $23.50 resistance level. Sellers will likely defend this level vigorously, but if the bulls can maintain their momentum, Chainlink could rally to $28.78 and eventually to $31.73. However, if the price turns down from $23.50 and breaks below the moving averages, it could signal a short-term pullback.
Avalanche (AVAX) – A Potential Breakout Candidate
Avalanche’s recent price action has been impressive, with the asset surging above the neckline of its inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. The 20-day EMA ($23.15) is turning up, and the RSI is near the overbought zone, suggesting that the bulls are gaining momentum. If the price remains above the neckline, Avalanche could break out to new highs, potentially reaching $31.73.
