Ali Martinez:
- $81,000 is the bottom of Bitcoin’s rising channel on the daily chart.
- If buyers defend it, $BTC could move to the middle of the channel at $84,000, then to the top at $86,500.
- A break below $81,000 would shift his focus to $76,000.
Gareth Soloway:
- Bitcoin is stuck in a range of about $6,000, between $81,000 and $87,200.
- It briefly fell to about $79,750 before climbing back above support.
- A move above $87,200 could take $BTC to a rising trendline near $91,000. By late November, that trendline would be near $97,000.
- A daily close below $81,000 would point to lower prices.
Soloway said the bullish structure is intact, though he called the price action “not the healthiest.” He said that Bitcoin has held up despite the slide in AI stocks and the Nasdaq. He currently has no swing position in $BTC.
Ethereum: $2,350 Or Sub-$2,000
Ali Martinez:
-
$ETH is testing $2,350, the support line of a right-angled ascending broadening pattern.
- A bounce from there could take it to $2,700, or as high as $3,000.
- A daily close below $2,350 would bring $2,000 into focus.
Gareth Soloway:
-
$ETH has held its key support but has not yet broken its key resistance.
- A breakout should lead to a retest of $2,800.
- A breakdown could send $ETH below $2,000, where Soloway said he would be a heavy buyer.
$XRP: An Inverse Head And Shoulders In The Making
Martinez is watching $1.25 for $XRP. On the three-day chart, holding that level could complete the right shoulder of a possible inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, a setup that often comes before a trend reversal.
-
Confirmation: a sustained close above $1.56
-
Target if confirmed: $2
-
Risk: losing $1.25 would bring $1 into view
