Key Points:
-
Bitcoin is attempting a comeback that is expected to encounter robust resistance at the breakdown level of $74,508.
-
Several major altcoins are trying to recover, signaling that lower levels are attracting buyers.
Bitcoin (BTC) has risen above $68,500 as buyers try to create a higher low near $65,000. According to Glassnode, BTC is stuck between the true market average of $79,200 and the realized price near $55,000. The on-chain data provider expects range activity to continue until the primary catalyst pushes the price above or below the range.
Standard Chartered also had a muted forecast for BTC. He lowered the BTC target to $100,000 from $150,000 for 2026. The bank expects BTC to fall to $50,000 over the next few months before recovering for the rest of the year.
Several analysts also believe that BTC has not yet bottomed out. Crypto analyst Tony Research said in a post on X that BTC will bottom out in the $40,000-50,000 zone, likely “mid-September to late November 2026.”
Can BTC and major altcoins start a recovery? To find out, let’s analyze the charts of the 10 most popular cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin price prediction
BTC rose from $65,118 on Thursday, indicating lower levels of demand. The bulls will try to push the price to $74,508.

If the price of Bitcoin drops sharply from the $74,508 level, it suggests that bears remain vigorous at higher levels. This could keep the BTC/USDT pair between $74,508 and $60,000 for several days. On the other hand, a break below the support at $60,000 could result in the pair falling to $52,500.
Alternatively, if buyers raise the price above $74,508, it suggests selling pressure is easing. The pair could then rise to the 50-day plain moving average ($85,046).
Ether price prediction
Buyers are trying to push and hold Ether (ETH) above the $2,000 level, but bears maintain pressure.

If the price drops from the current level or resistance at $2,111, it suggests that the bears are aggressively defending this level. Ether price may then retest the critical support at $1,750. If the level breaks, the ETH/USDT pair could extend the decline to the next major support at $1,537.
On the other hand, buyers will need to quickly push the price above the 20-day EMA ($2,297) to signal a reversal. If they succeed, the pair could climb to the 50-day SMA ($2,800).
BNB Price Forecast
BNB (BNB) continues to gradually move towards robust support at $570, which is an critical level to keep an eye on.

If the BNB price falls below the $570 support level, it signals the beginning of the next leg of a downtrend towards the psychological $500 level.
However, the RSI indicator is in oversold territory, indicating that improvement is possible in the near future. If the price rises from the current level, bulls will try to push the BNB/USDT pair above the $669 level. If they can do this, the pair could march towards the 20-day EMA ($710).
XRP price forecast
XRP (XRP) is holding onto the support line of a descending channel pattern, increasing the risk of a breakdown.

If this happens, the price of XRP could drop to $1.11. This is a critical level that bulls need to defend, as a break below it could resume the downtrend. The XRP/USDT pair may then drop to $1 and then to $0.75.
Conversely, if the price rebounds from the current level and breaks above the 20-day EMA ($1.55), it suggests that the pair may remain in the channel for some time to come. Buyers will need to achieve a close above the downtrend line to signal a potential trend change.
Solana price forecast
Solana (SOL) is struggling to find support at $77, but bears will likely sell on the rally.

The SOL/USDT pair may reach the $95 breakdown level where the bears are expected to pose a grave challenge. If the price drops sharply from the $95 level, it suggests that the bears have turned the level into resistance. Solana’s price may then drop to $67.
Conversely, if buyers push the price above the $95 level, the pair could rise to the 50-day SMA ($119). This suggests that a break below the $95 level may have been a bear trap.
Dogecoin price forecast
Dogecoin (DOGE) is trying to rebound from the $0.09 level, but bears continue to sell during compact gains.

If the price of Dogecoin declines and falls below USD 0.09, the DOGE/USDT pair may fall to the level of USD 0.08. This is a key level for bulls to defend as a break below could extend the downtrend to $0.06.
The first sign of strength will be a breakout and close above the 20-day EMA ($0.10). The pair could then rise to a breakdown level of $0.12, which will likely act as stiff resistance. A break above the $0.12 level opens the way to an escalate to $0.16.
Bitcoin Cash Price Forecast
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) broke below the $497 support on Thursday, but the bulls failed to sustain lower levels.

The bulls are trying to push the price above the 20-day EMA ($536), but are expected to face significant resistance from the bears. If the price breaks from the 20-day EMA and falls below $493, the BCH/USDT pair could fall towards the $443 level.
On the contrary, if the price breaks and closes above the 20-day EMA, it suggests demand at lower levels. Bitcoin Cash price may then rise to the 50-day SMA ($581), where the bears are again expected to provide a robust defense.

Hyperfluid price prediction
Hyperliquid (HYPE) rose again above the 20-day EMA ($30.18) on Thursday, indicating buy on the decline.

A flat 20-day EMA and RSI just above midpoint suggest a balance between supply and demand. Buyers will need to push the price of Hyperliquid above the $35.50 level to indicate that the corrective phase may have ended. The HYPE/USDT pair may then rise to $44.
Contrary to this assumption, if the price drops and breaks below the 50-day SMA ($27.25), it signals that the bears have an advantage. The pair could then fall to the support at $20.82.
Cardano Price Forecast
Cardano (ADA) remains within the descending channel, indicating that the bears are still in charge.

The bears will try to strengthen their position by pulling the price below the support line and the $0.22 level. If they succeed, the ADA/USDT pair could fall to $0.20 and then to $0.15.
Instead, if Cardano price rises from its current level and breaks above the 20-day EMA ($0.29), it signals that the pair may remain in the channel for some time yet. Buyers will take over after a close above the channel.
Monero price forecast
Monero (XMR) is facing resistance at the $360 breakdown level, but the bulls haven’t given up much to the bears.

This increases the likelihood of a break above $360. If this happens, the bears will again try to stop the rebound at the 20-day EMA ($385). However, buyers likely have other plans. They will attempt to break the 20-day EMA, paving the way for a rally towards the 50-day SMA ($460).
This positive sentiment will be negated in the near future if Monero’s price continues to decline and exceeds $309. The XMR/USDT pair could then drop to $276, which will likely attract buyers.
