Bitcoin Surges Above Resistance Zone, Boosted by ETF Speculation
Bitcoin (BTC) has surpassed the resistance zone of $31,000 to $32,400, surprising many market participants. Typically, prices consolidate or hesitate near strong resistance levels, but this time was different.
Market participants are optimistic about the approval of a Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the near future. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that BlackRock’s listing of a spot Bitcoin ETF on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) was part of the process of bringing the ETF to market. However, a DTCC spokesperson clarified that the listing had been there since August and does not signal regulatory approval.
Investors are rushing to buy Bitcoin before an ETF is approved because analysts predict a significant price surge afterward. Galaxy Digital research associate Charles Yu believes Bitcoin’s price could rally by 74.1% in the first year after a US-based ETF launch.
Bitcoin Price Analysis
Bitcoin’s price has skyrocketed above the resistance level of $31,000 to $32,400, signaling a continuation of the uptrend. The relative strength index (RSI) has entered overbought territory, which can occur during the early stages of a new bull run. The key support levels to watch are $32,400 and $31,000, as buyers are expected to defend these zones vigorously. If the price bounces from this support zone, bulls will aim for $40,000. However, a fall below $31,000 would indicate a potential bull trap.
Ether Price Analysis
Ether (ETH) broke above the range with a move above $1,746, suggesting a possible trend reversal. The bears attempted to bring down the price on October 24 but were met with strong buying pressure at higher levels. The crucial support level to monitor is $1,746; if it holds during a retest, the ETH/USDT pair could rise above $1,855. This would open the door for a rally to $1,900 and $2,000. However, if the price falls below $1,746, it may extend its consolidation around the 20-day EMA ($1,648).
BNB Price Analysis
BNB rallied above the immediate resistance level of $223 but struggled to clear the hurdle at $235. Sellers are attempting to push the price below $223, which would suggest a potential range-bound movement between $203 and $235. However, the 20-day EMA turning up and the positive RSI indicate that bulls have an advantage. If the price bounces from $223, it would indicate buying on dips and improve the chances of a rally above $235 towards $250 and eventually $265.
XRP Price Analysis
XRP has been trading within a large range between $0.41 and $0.56 for several months. The recent move above the resistance level on October 24 was met with selling pressure as bears defended the level. If the price reaches the moving averages, it suggests that XRP may remain within the range for a while longer. However, if it turns up from the current level and breaks above $0.56, it could indicate a new upward movement towards $0.66 and potentially $0.71.
Solana Price Analysis
Solana reached its pattern target of $32.81 on October 23 before experiencing a correction on October 24. However, buyers quickly pushed the price back above $32.81 on October 25, indicating further upward momentum. The RSI remains in overbought territory, suggesting a potential minor correction or consolidation in the near term. If the price falls below $29.50, it may drop to $27.12 before finding strong buying support.
Cardano Price Analysis
Cardano jumped above the $0.28 resistance level on October 24 but faced selling pressure at higher levels. The ADA/USDT pair is likely to encounter strong resistance near $0.28, and a sustained drop below this level would indicate a rejection of the breakout. This could keep the pair range-bound between $0.24 and $0.28 for some time. However, if the price rebounds from $0.28 and rises above $0.30, it would suggest a bullish flip of the level into support and potentially lead to an upward movement towards $0.32 and $0.38.
Dogecoin Price Analysis
Dogecoin’s rally was met with heavy selling at $0.07 on October 24, indicating potential consolidation or correction in the near term. If the price remains relatively stable during this period, it suggests that bulls are not closing their positions hastily, increasing the likelihood of a break above $0.07 and a surge towards $0.08. The bullish crossover on moving averages and the overbought RSI indicate that bulls are currently in control, but a drop below $0.06 would favor bears.
Toncoin Price Analysis
Toncoin turned down from $2.26 on October 24, showing resistance at $2.31. The first support lies at the moving averages, and a rebound from this level would suggest positive sentiment among traders, potentially leading to a break above $2.31 and retesting the strong resistance at $2.59. However, if the price falls below the moving averages, it may consolidate between $1.89 and $2.31 for some time.
Chainlink Price Analysis
Chainlink broke out of a multi-month consolidation on October 22 with a move above the overhead resistance of $9.50. Although sellers attempted to pull the price back below this level on October 24, aggressive buying at lower levels prevented a significant drop. This indicates strong buying pressure, and the upward momentum may continue.
