Key points:
Bitcoin’s rally through $79,500 opens the door to a move toward $84,000.Ether, Dogecoin and Hyperliquid are showing strength, but the other major altcoins are yet to pick up momentum.
Bitcoin (BTC) opened the new week with a rally above $80,500, suggesting the bulls are attempting to take charge. Analysts are closely watching the $80,000 level, as some believe a failure to close above it could trigger a move toward $60,000.
However, crypto analyst Matthew Hyland said in a post on X that traders calling BTC’s fall to $60,000 and lower ‘will be the ones flipping bullish late above $90K.”
BTC’s 30-day liquidation map shows that a rally above $84,000 would trigger $2.85 billion worth of short liquidations across all exchanges.

A positive sign for the bulls is that BTC’s rise continues to be supported by institutional investors. Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards said in a post on X that institutions have been “slurping up 500%+ of Bitcoin’s daily mined supply.” Such instances in the past have boosted prices by more than 24% in the following month. If history repeats, BTC may surge to around $96,000.
Could BTC and the major altcoins sustain the breakout? Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
S&P 500 Index price prediction
The S&P 500 Index (SPX) remains in a strong uptrend, rising to a new all-time high of 7,272 on Friday.

The upsloping 20-day exponential moving average (7,043) indicates an advantage to buyers, but the relative strength index (RSI) near the overbought zone signals that a minor consolidation or correction is possible in the near term.
The 7,000 level is the crucial support to watch out for on the downside. A solid bounce off the 7,000 level suggests that the bulls have flipped it into support. That improves the prospects of a rally to 7,500.
On the contrary, a close below the 7,000 support may sink the index to the 50-day simple moving average (6,827).
US Dollar Index price prediction
The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been stuck between the 50-day SMA (98.97) and the 97.74 support.

The downsloping 20-day EMA (98.61) and the RSI in the negative territory indicate that the bears are at a slight advantage. If the price breaks below the 97.74 support, the index may tumble toward the 96.21 level.
Conversely, a close above the 50-day SMA suggests that the bulls are on a comeback. The index may rally to the 100.54 resistance level, where buyers are expected to encounter solid selling pressure from bears.
Bitcoin price prediction
BTC has broken above the $79,500 resistance, signaling the resumption of the uptrend toward $84,000.

The uptrend is expected to face solid selling pressure at $84,000, but if the bulls prevent the BTC price from dipping below the 20-day EMA ($76,634), the possibility of a breakout increases. If the $84,000 level is broken, the BTC/USDT pair may surge toward the pattern target of $92,000.
Time is running out for the bears. They will have to swiftly yank the price below $76,000 to weaken bullish momentum. The pair may then tumble to the 50-day SMA ($72,798).
Ether price prediction
Ether (ETH) rose above the 20-day EMA ($2,298) on Friday and is marching toward the $2,465 overhead resistance.

Sellers will attempt to stall the rally at the $2,465 level, but if the bulls prevail, the ETH/USDT pair may jump to the resistance line. If the ETH price turns down sharply from the resistance line and breaks below the 20-day EMA, it suggests the pair may remain within the channel for some time.
On the other hand, a break and close above the resistance line signals that the bulls are back in control. The pair may then surge toward the $3,050 level.
XRP price prediction
Buyers have pushed XRP (XRP) above the moving averages, opening the door to a rally toward the downtrend line.

The flattish moving averages and the RSI just above the midpoint do not give either bulls or bears a clear advantage. Buyers will gain the upper hand on a close above the $1.61 level. The XRP/USDT pair may then rally to $2, then to $2.40.
Contrary to this assumption, if the XRP price turns down from the $1.61 level, it would suggest that bears are active at higher levels. That may extend the pair’s stay inside the $1.27 to $1.61 range for a while.
BNB price prediction
BNB (BNB) has been trading near its moving averages over the past few days, indicating indecision between bulls and bears.

The flattish moving averages and the RSI just above the midpoint suggest that the BNB/USDT pair may remain inside the $570 to $687 range for a few more days.
The next trending move is expected to begin on a close above $687 or below $570. If bulls push the BNB price above the $687 resistance, the pair is expected to gain momentum and surge to $790. Alternatively, a close below $570 signals the resumption of the downtrend toward $500.
Solana price prediction
Solana (SOL) is attempting to rise above the moving averages, indicating demand at lower levels.

A close above the moving averages may push the SOL price to the $90.73 resistance. Sellers will attempt to defend the $90.73 level, but if the bulls prevail, the SOL/USDT pair may surge to $98.
On the downside, the bears will need to push the price below $82.65 to gain the upper hand. If they do that, the pair may descend to the solid support at $76. The next trending move is expected to begin on a close above $98 or below $76.

Dogecoin price prediction
Dogecoin (DOGE) has broken above the $0.11 resistance level, clearing the path for a rally toward $0.12.

The 20-day EMA ($0.10) has started to turn up, and the RSI is in the overbought zone, indicating that the buyers have the edge. Sellers are expected to mount a strong defense at the $0.12 level, but if buyers bulldoze through, the rally may reach $0.14 and eventually $0.16.
Instead, if the DOGE price turns down sharply from $0.12 and breaks below the moving averages, it suggests that the bears remain sellers on rallies. That may keep the DOGE/USDT pair within the $0.09-$0.12 range for a few more days.
Hyperliquid price prediction
Hyperliquid (HYPE) is maintaining above the 20-day EMA ($41.04), but the long wick on the candlestick shows selling at higher levels.

The uptrend is expected to face selling pressure in the $43.76 to $45.77 resistance zone. If the HYPE price turns down from the current level or the overhead zone and breaks below the 50-day SMA ($40.11), the advantage will tilt toward the bears. The HYPE/USDT pair may then tumble to $38.70.
Contrarily, a break and close above the overhead zone signals the resumption of the uptrend. The pair may surge to $50 and then to $51.43.
Cardano price prediction
Cardano (ADA) has risen above the downtrend line, but the bulls are facing stiff resistance at the 50-day SMA ($0.25).
ADA/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView
The RSI has risen just above the midpoint, signaling a slight advantage to the bulls. If buyers push the price above the 50-day SMA, the ADA/USDT pair may rally to $0.29, then to $0.31. Sellers are again expected to pose a strong challenge at the $0.31 level, as a close above it suggests that the pair may have bottomed out in the short term.
The $0.22 level is the critical support to watch out for on the downside. If the ADA price turns down and breaks below the $0.22 support level, it signals a resumption of the downtrend.
