BTC: Consolidation within the Fibonacci Projection range of 78.6%-100%

On the weekly chart, BTC maintains its long-term uptrend after successfully breaking above the November 2021 – March 2024 high (equivalent to the $65,800-$75,000 USD region).

Additionally, BTC formed a golden cross in December 2023, with the 50-day SMA crossing above the 100-day and 200-day SMAs. These moving averages continue to trend upward, indicating that the medium- and long-term uptrends remain intact. As such, the 100-day and 200-day SMAs are expected to act as strong support levels going forward.

However, BTC’s price action has been range-bound within the Fibonacci Projection range of 78.6%-100% (equivalent to the $95,200-$107,600 USD region) over the past two months. The MACD indicator is also narrowing its gap with the signal line, suggesting that the short-term momentum has slowed, and the risk of a downward correction may increase if a sell signal emerges.

The near-term outlook turns less optimistic as both the MACD and Stochastic Oscillator have generated sell signals following a bearish divergence. Although the January 2025 low (around $89,000-$93,300 USD) has provided solid support for BTC in recent sessions, the current downward trajectory of the MACD suggests that the negative outlook may strengthen if it drops below the zero level in the coming days.

Based on these signals, we anticipate BTC to experience short-term volatility before resuming its long-term uptrend.

ETH: Re-testing the September 2024 low

On the weekly chart, ETH continues to trade within a long-term bullish price channel, indicating that the primary uptrend remains intact. However, ETH has dropped below the Middle Bollinger Band, and the Stochastic Oscillator is trending downward after generating a sell signal, suggesting that the short-term outlook remains negative.

On the daily chart, ETH witnessed a sharp decline recently but quickly recovered and found support at the September 2024 low (around $2,010-$2,390 USD). Nonetheless, the MACD remains below the zero level and is trending downward after producing a sell signal, indicating a persistent bearish bias. With the ADX surpassing 25 and the 50-day and 100-day SMAs converging, the negative scenario is likely to extend into the medium term once the $2,010-$2,390 USD support zone is breached.

Given the emergence of short-term risk factors, investors are advised to refrain from trading at current levels and await more constructive signals before re-entering the market.

XRP: Short-term Consolidation

On the daily chart of XRP, a shakeout occurred as XRP retreated to test the 50-day SMA while the ADX oscillated within the gray area (20<>. Furthermore, both the MACD and Stochastic Oscillator are trending downward after concurrently producing sell signals, suggesting a lack of optimism in the near term. The December 2024 low (around $1.7-$2 USD) is expected to serve as the next support level for XRP if a corrective phase unfolds in the coming period.
