Highlights

  • Bitcoin (BTC) rallies over 7% this week, trading above $100,900.
  • Ethereum (ETH) finds support at $3,120, eyeing further recovery.
  • Ripple (XRP) breaks above its symmetrical triangle pattern, targeting $3.63.

Bitcoin's (BTC) price continues to show strength this week, trading green after a solid 7% rally. As of Friday, BTC sits above $100,900, marking a significant recovery after retesting the $90,000 support level earlier this week. The upward momentum suggests Bitcoin may extend its rally to test its all-time high of $108,353, which was reached on December 17, 2024.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 59, above the neutral level of 50, signaling increased bullish momentum. If BTC maintains its current trajectory, it could continue climbing toward this key resistance level. Bitcoin’s bullish outlook is fueled by its strong performance, as it aims for the higher price range and reaffirms its dominance in the cryptocurrency market.

Ethereum (ETH) Rebounds After Testing Key Support Level

Ethereum (ETH) price saw a notable rebound this week, bouncing off its 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $3,120. The rebound was followed by a 7.2% gain, pushing ETH price up to $3,257 as of Friday. The 200-day EMA support level remains crucial for Ethereum’s recovery, as it could extend the positive momentum to challenge its daily resistance at $3,730.

Despite a slight pullback of 4% on Thursday, Ethereum’s technical indicators point to a potential continuation of the uptrend. The RSI sits at 48, signaling that bearish momentum is weakening, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is nearing a bullish crossover. A confirmed MACD crossover could suggest further upward movement for Ethereum in the short term.

Ripple (XRP) Breaks Out, Eyes Technical Target of $3.63

Ripple (XRP) continues its upward trajectory after breaking above its symmetrical triangle pattern earlier this week. XRP surged 28.6%, closing above the psychological $3.00 level and reaching around $3.29 by Friday. The breakout indicates strong bullish momentum, and Ripple could target the technical price objective derived from this pattern, which is $3.63.

As XRP continues to ride the wave of positive price action, it appears to be testing new resistance levels with potential to climb further. This technical setup suggests that Ripple bulls are looking to push for higher levels, and the $3.63 mark stands as the next significant target for the token.

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) are showing solid strength heading into Trump’s inauguration, with positive price movements marking potential for further gains. Bitcoin continues its recovery above $100,000, with eyes set on the $108,353 all-time high. Ethereum’s support at $3,120 could lead to an extended rally towards $3,730, while Ripple targets $3.63 following a breakout above its symmetrical triangle pattern. The technical indicators across all three assets suggest bullish potential, making these cryptocurrencies ones to watch in the coming days.
