Daan Crypto Trades sees Bitcoin testing a local range low while holding support from prior consolidation highs. Dropping below this could weaken the structure, as re-entering the larger consolidation after a breakout is typically bearish.

For Ethereum, Jelle notes that after a falling wedge fakeout, price is close to a breakout. Key levels to clear are $4,300 resistance and the 4-hour 50 EMA, above which a swift move toward $5,000 could occur.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez points to XRP’s hourly TD Sequential buy signal, suggesting a rebound may be imminent.
