  • Buyers will need to defend support levels in selected major altcoins or the recovery may fail.

Bitcoin (BTC) is trying to find support near $88,000, but several U.S. and global macroeconomic factors are hampering the overall cryptocurrency market. As a result, buyers are taking a cautious approach and are likely waiting to see how the renewed US-EU trade war affects markets.

The most significant question investors are asking is how low the BTC price can fall. Veteran trader Peter Brandt said in a post on X that BTC could drop from $58,000 to $62,000, but added that he’s wrong 50% of the time and wouldn’t feel embarrassed if the price didn’t reach that level.

Fundstrat’s head of research, Tom Lee, also warned investors to be ready for a “painful decline” in stock and cryptocurrency markets in 2026. However, one petite positive is that Lee expects a robust finish to the year, with BTC likely to hit a modern all-time high.

Can buyers stop BTC and major altcoins from falling? To find out, let’s analyze the charts of the 10 most popular cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin price prediction

Buyers tried to start a rebound in BTC on Wednesday, but the bears persisted, pointing to sales increases.

The 20-day exponential moving average ($91,786) is falling and the relative strength index (RSI) is in negative territory, indicating that the bears have a slight advantage. If the $86,500 support gives way, the BTC/USDT pair could drop to $84,000.

Moving averages are expected to act as resistance on any support rally, but if the bulls prevail, Bitcoin’s price could rise to $94,789 and then to $97,924. A close above $97,924 signals a potential trend change. The pair can then enhance to $100,000 and then to $107,500.

Ether price prediction

Ether (ETH) dived below the moving averages on Tuesday and reached the support line of the symmetrical triangle formation.

The bulls are trying to defend the support line, but the feeble rebound suggests that the bears have kept the pressure. If the price breaks below the support line, the ETH/USDT pair could drop to $2,623.

The bulls’ time is running out. They will need to push the ether price above the moving averages quickly to get back into the game. The upside momentum is likely to gain momentum once buyers close above the resistance line.

BNB Price Forecast

On Wednesday, BNB (BNB) corrected below the 50-day SMA ($885), indicating that the market has rejected a break above $928.

BNB price may slip to the uptrend line where bulls are expected to enter. Reflection from the upward trend line may involve selling at moving averages. If the price drops from the moving averages, the BNB/USDT pair may fall below the uptrend line. The pair could then test the support at $790.

Buyers will need to push the price above the $959 level to gain control. If they are successful, the pair could skyrocket to $1,087.

XRP price forecast

XRP (XRP) remains below the moving averages, which indicates that bears continue to apply pressure.

Bears will try to drag the XRP price to $1.77 and then to the key support at $1.61. Buyers are expected to fiercely defend the zone between the $1.61 level and the support line of the descending channel formation. If the price jumps sharply away from the support zone, it suggests that the pair may remain in the channel for some time.

Buyers will need to push the price above the downtrend line to gain an advantage. The pair could then rise towards $2.70.

Solana price forecast

A break of Solana (SOL) below the 50-day SMA ($132) suggests the price may remain in the $117-$147 range for a few more days.

The $117 level is a key support to watch on the downside, as a break below this level could signal a resumption of the downtrend. The SOL/USDT pair may then fall towards $95.

On the other hand, a breakout and close above $147 signals that the bulls have defeated the bears. This suggests a potential trend change, causing Solana’s price to rise towards $172 and then $189.

Dogecoin price forecast

Dogecoin (DOGE) has reached support at $0.12, which is expected to attract bulls to make solid purchases.

An enhance in support is likely to be met with a sell-off at the 20-day EMA ($0.13). If the price drops sharply from the 20-day EMA, the risk of a break below the $0.12 support increases. The DOGE/USDT pair could then retest the October 10 low at $0.10.

Contrary to this assumption, a break above the moving averages suggests that the price of Dogecoin may remain in the range of $0.12 to $0.16 for some time. The advantage will swing in favor of the bulls on a close above the resistance at $0.16.

Cardano Price Forecast

Cardano (ADA) is trying to take support near the $0.33 level, but the recovery is expected to involve selling in the zone between the moving averages and the downtrend line.

If Cardano’s price drops sharply from the upper resistance, the possibility of a break below the $0.33 level increases. The ADA/USDT pair may then fall to the support line of the descending channel formation. Buyers are expected to fiercely defend the support line, which is close to the October 10 low of $0.27.

This negative opinion will be invalidated in the near future if the price increases and crosses the downtrend line. The pair may then rise to the $0.50 split level.

Bitcoin Cash Price Forecast

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) pullback finds support at $563, indicating demand at a lower level.

The recovery is expected to involve selling at the 20-day EMA ($602). If the price drops sharply from the 20-day EMA, it increases the risk of a breakout below the support at $563. The BCH/USDT pair could then drop to $518.

Alternatively, a break above the moving averages suggests that the bulls are trying to make a comeback. The price of Bitcoin Cash may rise to the level of $631, which is expected to pose a solemn challenge.

Monero price forecast

Monero (XMR) rebounded from its 20-day EMA ($541) on Monday to reach $650, indicating selling gains.

Monero’s price fell sharply on Tuesday and closed below the 20-day EMA. This suggests that the XMR/USDT pair may have peaked in the near future. The pair may complete a 100% retracement and fall to $417.

Buyers have a tough task ahead of them. The support rally is expected to meet selling at the 20-day EMA and then at $650. A close above the $650 level signals that the bulls are back in the game.

Chain link price prediction

Chainlink (LINK) fell below moving averages on Monday, signaling that range action may continue for some time.

Flat moving averages and RSI near the 40 level do not give a clear advantage to either bulls or bears. A break below the $11.61 to $10.94 support zone will tip the edge in favor of the bears. The LINK/USDT pair may then fall towards the October 10 low of $7.90.

Buyers will need to push Chainlink’s price above the $14.98 level to signal strength. The pair could then move higher towards $17.66.
