Crypto price forecast analysis reveals that Bitcoin and several major altcoins are attempting a relief rally, signaling that the bulls are trying to form a higher low. Bitcoin (BTC) has risen above $68,500, as buyers attempt to form a higher low near $65,000. According to Glassnode, BTC is stuck between the true market mean at $79,200 and the realized price near $55,000. The [on-chain data provider expects the range-bound action](https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-analysts-predict-prolonged-consolidation-phase-for-btc-price) to continue until a major catalyst either pushes the price above or below the range.
Standard Chartered also had a muted forecast for BTC. It [lowered BTC’s target to $100,000 from $150,000](https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etf-410-million-outflows-standard-chartered-cut-target) for 2026. The bank expects BTC to fall to $50,000 over the next few months, followed by a recovery for the remainder 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 in the $40,000 to $50,000 zone, possibly “between mid-September and late November 2026.”
Could BTC and the major altcoins start a recovery? Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
Bitcoin price prediction
BTC turned up from $65,118 on Thursday, indicating demand at lower levels. The bulls will try to push the price to the breakdown level of $74,508.
If the Bitcoin price turns down sharply from the $74,508 level, it suggests that the bears remain active at higher levels. That may keep the BTC/USDT pair between $74,508 and $60,000 for a few days. On the downside, a break below the $60,000 support may sink the pair to $52,500.
Alternatively, if buyers thrust the price above $74,508, it suggests that the selling pressure is reducing. The pair may then rally to the 50-day simple moving average ($85,046).
Ether price prediction
Buyers are attempting to push and maintain Ether above the $2,000 level, but the bears have kept up the pressure.
If the price turns down from the current level or the $2,111 resistance, it suggests that the bears are aggressively defending the level. The Ether price may then retest the critical support at $1,750. If the level cracks, the ETH/USDT pair may extend the decline to the next major support at $1,537.
On the upside, buyers will have to swiftly push the price above the 20-day EMA ($2,297) to signal a comeback. If they manage to do that, the pair might ascend to the 50-day SMA ($2,800).
BNB, XRP, SOL, DOGE and BCH Price Analysis
BNB continues to gradually slide toward the strong support at $570, which is a vital level to watch out for.
If the BNB price plunges below the $570 support, it signals the start of the next leg of the downtrend toward the psychological level of $500.
However, the RSI is in the oversold territory, indicating that a relief rally is possible in the near term. If the price turns up from the current level, the bulls will attempt to push the BNB/USDT pair above the $669 level. If they can pull it off, the pair may march toward the 20-day EMA ($710).
XRP has been clinging to the support line of the descending channel pattern, increasing the risk of a breakdown.
If that happens, the XRP price may drop to the $1.11 level. This is a critical level for the bulls to defend, as a break below it may resume the downtrend. The XRP/USDT pair may then fall to $1 and subsequently to $0.75.
Contrarily, if the price turns up from the current level and breaks above the20-day EMA ($1.55), it suggests that the pair may remain inside the channel for some more time. Buyers will have to achieve a close above the downtrend line to signal a potential trend change.
Solana is trying to find support at the $77 level, but the bears are likely to sell on rallies.
The SOL/USDT pair might reach the breakdown level of $95, where the bears are expected to pose a strong challenge. If the price turns down sharply from the $95 level, it suggests that the bears have flipped the level into resistance. The Solana price may then plummet to the $67 level.
Conversely, if buyers push the price above the $95 level, the pair may rally to the 50-day SMA ($119). That suggests the break below the $95 level may have been a bear trap.
Dogecoin is attempting to bounce off the $0.09 level, but the bears continue to sell on minor rallies.
If the Dogecoin price turns down and breaks below $0.09, the DOGE/USDT pair might drop to the $0.08 level. This is a crucial level for the bulls to defend, as a break below it may extend the downtrend to $0.06.
The first sign of strength will be a break and close above the 20-day EMA ($0.10). The pair may then rally to the breakdown level of $0.12, which is likely to act as stiff resistance. A break above the $0.12 level opens the doors for a rally to $0.16.
Bitcoin Cash broke below the $497 support on Thursday, but the bulls failed to sustain the lower levels.
The bulls are attempting to push the price above the 20-day EMA ($536) but are expected to face significant resistance from the bears. If the price turns down from the 20-day EMA and breaks below $493, the BCH/USDT pair may plunge toward the $443 level.
On the contrary, if the price breaks and closes above the 20-day EMA, it suggests demand at lower levels. The Bitcoin Cash price may then rally to the 50-day SMA ($581), where the bears are again expected to mount a strong defense.
“The crypto market remains volatile, and investors should exercise caution.”
Crypto Price Forecast for HYPE, ADA and XMR
Hyperliquid has risen back above the 20-day EMA ($30.18) on Thursday, indicating buying on dips.
The flattening 20-day EMA and the RSI near the midpoint suggest a balance between supply and demand. If the buying persists, the HYPE/USDT pair may retest the recent high at $35.50. A break above this resistance could open the doors for a rally to $40.
Conversely, if the price turns down from the current level, the pair may drop to the 20-day EMA. A break below this support will suggest that the bears are back in the game. The pair may then decline to $25.
Cardano (ADA) has been trading near the $0.27 level for the past few days, indicating a tough fight between the bulls and the bears.
The 20-day EMA ($0.27) is flattening out and the RSI is just below the midpoint, indicating a possible consolidation in the near term. A break above $0.28 could signal the start of a recovery to $0.30.
Conversely, a break below $0.26 could lead to a retest of the recent lows at $0.24. A break of this level could see ADA fall to $0.20.
Monero (XMR) is showing signs of a potential recovery after bouncing off the $330 level.
If the bulls can sustain the price above the 20-day EMA ($340), XMR could rally to the 50-day SMA ($370). A break of this level could see XMR climb to $400.
However, if the price turns down from the 20-day EMA, XMR could retest the $330 support. A break of this level could see XMR fall to $300.
