PI could drop below $0.22 amid a strong bearish trend: Check forecast

Key takeaways

  • PI is down 2% in the last 24 hours and could drop below $0.22 if the bearish trend continues.
  • The technical outlook indicates short-term risk.

PI could dip lower amid poor technicals

Pi Network (PI) has been underperforming over the past three days and risks dropping below a critical support trendline. The on-chain data indicates an increase in supply pressure as Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) experience a surge in inflows. 

Data obtained from PiScan reveals that user deposits over Pi Network’s Know Your Business (KYB)-verified CEXs totaled 2.75 million PI tokens in the last 24 hours. The deposit is far greater than the withdrawals of 1.76 million tokens. Thus, indicating a daily net inflow of CEXs, suggesting that investors might be selling some of their stash. 

 Will Pi Network drop below the $0.22 support line?

The PI/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as PI has lost 2% of its value in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency is retracing toward a local support trendline formed from the October 22 and November 4 lows. 

At press time, PI is trading at $0.2267, with a bearish trend currently in play. The technical indicators are bearish, suggesting further downward movement. The RSI of 37 shows that PI is heading into the oversold region if the trend continues. The MACD lines are also within the bearish region.

PI/USD 4H Chart

If the trend persists, PI could decline below the Monday low of $0.2204, with another major support just around the $0.1919 region. 

However, if the bulls regain control, PI could reclaim last week’s high at $0.2841. An extended bullish run would allow PI to eye the August 1 low at $0.3220.

However, the current market conditions remain bearish, with PI expected to underperform over the next few days.

Bitcoin price forecast: BTC eyes breakout to $100k as technicals improve

Key takeaways

  • BTC is up by less than 1% and is currently trading above $93k.
  • The coin could rally towards $100k if the bullish recovery continues.

Bitcoin reclaims $94k

The cryptocurrency market has recovered from the dip recorded on Monday, with Bitcoin briefly reclaiming the $94k level on Wednesday. The leading cryptocurrency by market cap is up by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is now trading above $93k per coin.

The positive performance comes as technical indicators improve across the board, suggesting that retail investors are optimistic about a rally in the near term. 

In an email to Coinjournal, Nic Puckrin, investment analyst and co-founder of The Coin Bureau, pointed out that Bitcoin has staged a remarkable recovery over the past 24 hours, driven by a perfect storm of good news that has finally tipped the balance over in favor of the bulls (Vanguard allowing its clients to buy and sell crypto ETFs).

Furthermore, Bank of America is now recommending a 1%-4% portfolio allocation to crypto, which could bring up to $700 billion in extra liquidity into this asset.

“As a result, Bitcoin has shot up to a key resistance level between $93,000 and $95,000, which also acted as a resistance zone back in April. If it pushes through this, it will attempt to breach the $100,000 threshold again, with the 50-week simple moving average (SMA) at $102,000 a key level to watch. It all depends on whether US buyers continue this momentum when the New York market opens this morning,” Puckrin added.

Bitcoin looks to overcome the $93k resistance

The BTC/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient despite Bitcoin performing positively this week. The technical indicators have improved, with the bulls currently in control.

The RSI of 61 shows that Bitcoin could be heading into the overbought territory if the buying pressure continues. The MACD lines also switched bullish on Tuesday, confirming another strong bullish bias.

BTC/USD 4H Chart

If the bullish trend persists, BTC could surge towards the next major resistance level at $96,399 over the next few hours or days. However, if the bulls fail to push higher. Bitcoin could retest the liquidity level just below $91k.

Will Litecoin hit $95 amid rising retail demand? Check forecast

Key takeaways

  • LTC is up 1% in the last 24 hours and now trades at $85 per coin.
  • The coin could rally above $95 amid growing retail demand.

Litecoin reclaims $85 as demand increases

Litecoin (LTC) has added 1% to its value and is currently trading above $85 per coin. The positive performance comes amid increased demand for cryptocurrencies with listed Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The momentum comes after the Vanguard Group decided to allow crypto market exposure through third-party ETFs.

Vanguard’s decision extends exposure to the Canary Litecoin ETF (LTCC), increasing the possible demand for the fund.

However, data obtained from SoSoValue revealed that the Litecoin ETF saw a net-zero flow on Monday and Tuesday, keeping the cumulative net inflow at $7.67 million. 

Furthermore, the Litecoin derivatives market saw a surge in demand, as the futures Open Interest (OI) surged by 4.41% over the last 24 hours to $440.26 million. This surge suggests that investors are confident that Litecoin’s price could rally higher in the near term.

Finally, data obtained from CryptoQuant shows an increase in the average order size from whales. This reflects greater confidence and could further boost demand.

Litecoin could reclaim $95 as indicators flash bullish

The LTC/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and inefficient as Litecoin has underperformed in recent weeks. The coin has recovered from the low of $74 created on Monday and could rally higher in the near term.

LTC/USD 4H Chart

At press time, LTC is trading at $85.2 per coin. The technical indicators have switched bullish on the 4-hour timeframe. The RSI of 53 shows that the bulls have regained control, and LTC is no longer in the bearish region. The MACD line has also switched bullish since Tuesday, indicating a bullish bias.

If the recovery continues, Litecoin could surge to the 0-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $92.94. An extended rally would allow it to hit the 200-day EMA at $99.51. However, if Litecoin loses momentum, it could retest the November 4 and December 1 lows at $79.68 and $74.66, respectively.

Is SHIB heading to $0.000010 after its latest rally? Check forecast

Key takeaways

  • SHIB is up 11% in the last 24 hours, outperforming the broader crypto market.
  • The cryptocurrency could rally higher in the near term.

Memecoins surge higher

Leading memecoins Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have performed positively over the past 24 hours, easing from the recent selling pressure. The memecoins began December bearish but have recovered some gains over the past few hours.

The technical indicators remain mixed despite the recent positive price action. Retail interest in Dogecoin and Shiba Inu has increased in recent days. Data obtained from CoinGlass revealed an increase of 4.33% and 2.62% in DOGE and SHIB futures Open Interest (OI) over the last 24 hours, reaching $1.38 billion and $80.51 million, respectively. This surge in capital at risk in DOGE and SHIB futures indicates that investors are gaining confidence in the memecoins. 

 SHIB eyes the $0.00001 psychological level

The SHIB/USD 4-hour chart remains bearish and efficient as Shiba Inu has underperformed over the past few weeks. SHIB dropped below the $0.000010 psychological level since November 12 and has failed to recover since then. 

At press time, Shiba Inu is trading above $0.00000800 after four previous days of losses. The ongoing recovery could see SHIB recover above the November 29 high of $0.00000913. 

SHIB/USD 4H Chart

Similar to Dogecoin, SHIB’s RSI stands at 47, below the neutral 50, but suggesting that the bearish momentum is fading. The MACD lines are also closing in on a bullish crossover, confirming a potential recovery. If the recovery persists, SHIB will top the $0.00000913 resistance and head towards the $0.00001 psychological level.

However, if the bears regain control of the market, SHIB could retest the Monday low of $0.00000780 in the near term.

XRP could surge to $2.5 amid renewed bullish optimism

Key takeaways

  • XRP is up 6% in the last 24 hours and is trading around $2.2.
  • The cryptocurrency could surge higher amid a renewed bullish potential. 

XRP tops $2.2 as altcoins edge higher

XRP, the native coin of the Ripple ecosystem, is trading around $2.2 after adding more than 2% to its value in the last 24 hours. The positive performance comes as the broader crypto market recovers from the Monday dip.

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, is trading around $93k after retesting the $83k support level earlier this week. Meanwhile, Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is trading above $3k and could rally higher in the near term. 

The market is pumping due to renewed optimism regarding a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut next week. The rate cut could boost Bitcoin and XRP’s price in the near term, potentially reversing the recent losses.

XRP eyes the $2.5 psychological level

The XRP/USD 4-hour chart remains bearish and inefficient despite XRP adding 6% to its value since Tuesday. At press time, XRP is trading at $2.18, which is below key moving averages, including the 50-day EMA at $2.32, the 100-day EMA at $2.47, and the 200-day EMA at $2.50.

XRP/USD 4H Chart

The technical indicators remain bearish but could switch bullish once XRP overcomes the major resistance level above $2.2. The MACD histogram has turned positive and is expanding on the daily chart, with the blue line above the red signal, suggesting improving upside momentum. 

Furthermore, the RSI on the 4-hour chart reads 43, suggesting a declining bearish momentum. If the recovery continues, XRP could rally towards the next major resistance level at $2.63 in the near term, with the $2.5 region a key one for the cryptocurrency. 

However, if the momentum stalls, the bears will regain control, and XRP could retest the $1.9 support level once again.

Cardano risks dropping to $0.32 as bearish trend thickens

Key takeaways

  • ADA has lost 7% of its value in the last seven days.
  • The coin could record further losses as the market remains bearish.

ADA sheds 35% in November

ADA, the native coin of the Cardano blockchain, is up by less than 1% on Tuesday after recovering from the 6% dip on Monday. The bearish performance occurred as the  Cardano derivatives market saw a decline in traders’ interest.

According to CoinGlass, ADA futures Open Interest (OI) dropped 6.82% over the last 24 hours to $693 million. This decline suggests that investors are adopting a risk-off approach to the market.

Furthermore, the OI-weighted funding rate stands at -0.0057% suggesting increased confidence among bearish-aligned traders. Due to the current market conditions, the long-to-short ratio stands at 0.8765, with short positions building to 53.29% of all derivatives contracts over the last 24 hours.

This data suggests that there is a sell-side dominance in Cardano derivatives, with traders anticipating a decline in ADA’s price in the near term.

Will ADA close below the 2025 low?

The ADA/USD daily chart is bearish and inefficient as Cardano has underperformed in recent weeks. The coin dropped below $0.40 after losing 35% of its value in November and could dip lower over the coming days and weeks. 

ADA/USD Daily Chart

The technical indicators are also bearish, with the daily RSI now at 28, indicating an oversold condition. The MACD lines are also within the negative territory, suggesting heavy selling pressure. If the RSI remains below 30, Cardano remains at risk of steeper corrections. 

If the daily candle closes below the November 21 low of $0.3876, ADA could suffer heavy losses and retest the September 16, 2024, low of $0.3264. On the upside, if the buyers regain control and ADA stays bullish above $0.3876, it could reclaim the $0.40 resistance level in the near term.

Bitcoin price forecast: BTC eyes $93k as $83k support holds

Key takeaways

  • BTC is trading below $87k, down by less than 1% in the last 24 hours.
  • The leading cryptocurrency could retest the $93k resistance level in the near term.

Bitcoin’s $83k support holds

Bitcoin briefly dropped below $84k on Tuesday but has bounced back and is now trading above $86k per coin. The bearish performance comes amid macroeconomic conditions due to global liquidity tightening, and confidence in crypto is also deteriorating further following the Yearn hack.

Analysts predict that Bitcoin’s price could suffer further bearish movements as we head into the last few weeks of the year. In an email to Coinjournal, Nick Forster, Founder at the onchain options platform, Derive.xyz, said that macro uncertainty continues to dominate. 

A BOJ tightening and ambiguity around a U.S. Fed cut continue to negatively affect Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market.

“Volatility surged in response. BTC 30-day volatility jumped from 46% to 50% in the past 24 hours, while skew collapsed from -5% to -8% before recovering slightly to -6% at the time of writing. The move reflects aggressive demand for downside protection as traders reposition for further weakness,” Forster added.

The options market shows that 15% of traders predict Bitcoin’s price will drop below $80k by the end of the year. However, 21% are still optimistic about Bitcoin ending the year above $100k.

BTC eyes the $93k resistance

The BTC/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Bitcoin has underperformed over the past five days. The technical indicators are also bearish but could switch bullish if Bitcoin tops the $93k resistance level.

BTC/USD 4H Chart

At press time, BTC is trading at $86,882 per coin. If the market recovery continues, BTC could rally towards the $93k resistance level over the next few hours or days. 

The 4-hour RSI of 40 shows a fading bearish trend as Bitcoin is no longer in the oversold area.

On the flipside, if the bears regain strength, Bitcoin could retest the $80k low created on November 21.

Ethereum price forecast: Ether risks further downside as bears regain control

Key takeaways

  • ETH is down 5.5% and is now trading below $2,900.
  • The leading altcoins could record further losses amid renewed bearish momentum.

ETH/USD Daily chart

The cryptocurrency market is starting another month bearish after the poor performance recorded by Ether and other major coins in November. Ether recorded a temporary relief last week, hitting the $3k psychological level.

However, the recent gains have been wiped out, with Ether now trading around $2,800 after losing 5.5% of its value in the last 24 hours. The negative performance saw over $140 billion wiped out from the crypto market during that period, with the total market cap now below $3 trillion.

Furthermore, the bearish performance saw over $500 million worth of leveraged positions liquidated in the last 24 hours, with Binance, Bybit, and Hyperliquid accounting for 90% of the total liquidations.

Ether and other major cryptocurrencies could face further selling pressure in the near term. However, with the Fed’s FOMC meeting slated for next week, Ether and other leading cryptocurrencies could experience a temporary relief if the Federal Reserve cuts its benchmark interest rate for the third time this year. 

Ether could retest the $2,600 low.

The ETH/USD daily chart is bearish and efficient as Ether has underperformed in recent days. The coin has lost 5.5% of its value since Sunday and is now trading around the $2,840 region. 

If the ETH/USD daily candle closes below the November 21 low of $2,623, the bears could push the price lower over the next few hours or days, with the next major support around the June 22 low of $2,111.

 

The technical indicators remain bearish, with the RSI of 34 suggesting that sellers are in control. The MACD also risks a cross below the signal line, indicating Ethereum is still bearish.

However, if the bulls recover from the recent selloff, Ether could challenge the trend and push towards the $3k psychological level once again.

Bitcoin price forecast: Will BTC retest $80k amid renewed bearish sentiment?

Key takeaways

  • BTC dropped below $86k on Monday mainly due to macro pressures.
  • The leading cryptocurrency could retest the $80k low if the bearish trend persists.

BTC dips below $86k

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, is off to a bearish start in December, as it has lost over 5% of its value in the last 24 hours. At press time, Bitcoin is trading above $86k after temporarily dropping to the $85k region earlier today. 

The bearish performance has affected altcoins too, with Ether trading below $2,800, while XRP is hanging on above $2.0

The recent selloff comes after the Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo Ueda revealed that possible interest rate hikes could be considered if the economy continues to evolve as predicted. The interest rate hike could increase borrowing costs and negatively affect carry trades.

In addition to that, the hacking of the Yearn Finance protocol a few hours ago contributed to the renewed pressure on Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. Thanks to the latest selloff, over $140 billion was wiped out from the crypto market in the last 24 hours, with $500 million worth of leveraged positions also liquidated.

Bitcoin comes under pressure once again

The BTC/USD daily chart remains bearish and efficient as Bitcoin lost 5% of its value in the last few hours. The leading cryptocurrency is trading above $86k, as the daily, weekly, and monthly candles all confirm a bearish bias. 

BTC/USD Daily Chart

The RSI on the daily chart reads 32, pivoting downside towards the oversold after the brief recovery recorded last week. If the daily RSI remains below 30, Bitcoin could face further downward movement in the near term. 

Additionally, the  Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has shifted to a bearish momentum, with the sell signal shown a few hours ago. 

If the selloff continues, the bears will look to target the $80,600 support in the near term. Failure to defend this level could see Bitcoin revisit the April 7 low of $74,508.  

However, if the bulls recover, Bitcoin could rebound to $90,000 over the next few hours or days.

Bitcoin price forecast: Will BTC push above $93k?

Key takeaways

  • BTC is up by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is trading around $91,600.
  • The coin could rally higher as spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to record inflows.

Bitcoin ETFs record inflows

Bitcoin’s price is trading above the $91,600 mark on Friday after rebounding from key support levels over the weekend. The positive performance comes as institutional demand for Bitcoin increases, easing the recent selling pressure.

Data obtained from SoSoValue revealed that US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a mild inflow of $21.12 million on Wednesday, after a positive flow of $128.64 million the previous day. 

According to Glassnode’s weekly report, Bitcoin remains structurally fragile, as it is still trading below the $93k resistance level. The report added that with a weakening market structure, liquidity becomes the key lens for understanding what comes next.

Analysts are confident that the recent selling pressure is declining as volatility drops. In an email to Coinjournal, Dr. Sean Dawson, head of research at the onchain options platform, Derive.xyz, stated that the next phase would depend on the Fed’s interest rate decision in December. He stated that,

“Markets are balancing on a knife’s edge, but sentiment has stabilised meaningfully as expectations of a rate cut continue to recover. The probability of a 25 basis point cut at the upcoming FOMC meeting collapsed to 39% just a week ago, yet has since surged back to nearly 87%. In response, BTC has staged a strong rebound, rallying more than 10% from $82K to $91.5K at the time of writing.”

The shift in macro expectations has eased some of the intense bearish pressure that dominated the options market through late October and November. The 25-delta skew, a key measure of relative demand for puts versus calls, has moved sharply off its lows.

Bitcoin could extend its recovery towards the $100,000 mark

The BTC/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Bitcoin has recovered excellently from its recent dip. The leading cryptocurrency found support around the key psychological level of $80,000 last week and has added 6% to its value since then. 

At press time, BTC is trading above $91k. If the recovery continues, it could extend the rally toward the next key psychological level at $100,000.

BTC/USD 4H Chart

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart is 61, pointing upward toward the overbought level, indicating a growing bullish momentum. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover on Thursday, providing a buy signal and further supporting the potential continuation of the recovery.

However, failure to overcome the $93k resistance level could see Bitcoin retest the key support at $85,000.

XRP fails to push above $2.35 despite ETF inflow; Check forecast

Key takeaways

  • XRP is up by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is trading at $2.2 per coin.
  • XRP ETFs continue to record inflows as institutions position for the next run.

XRP ETFs continue to record inflows

Ripple’s XRP is up by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading above $2.2 per coin. The positive performance comes after XRP dropped below the $2.18 level on Wednesday.

Interest in spot XRP ETFs continues to improve since their launch two weeks ago. There are currently four XRP ETFs operating in the US, including Canary Capital’s XRPC, Bitwise’s XRP, Grayscale’s GXRP, and Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ.

Data obtained from SoSoValue reveal that the four XRP ETFs recorded  $35 million in inflows on Tuesday, bringing the cumulative volume to $622 million and net assets to $645 million. 

The inflow suggests that the market sentiment is improving, with more institutional investors positioning for a possible rally in the near to medium term.

However, retail demand remains low, with futures Open Interest (OI) still below $4 billion since the decline on November 11. CoinGlass data shows that XRP’s OI averaged $3.96 billion on Wednesday, down from $4 billion the previous day. XRP futures OI hit a record high of $10.94 billion on July 22 as XRP hit a high of $3.66. However, it has declined since then as XRP has lost nearly 50% of its value. 

If the OI recovers above $4 billion, it will signal growing retail demand, and XRP’s price could surge higher in the near term. 

XRP is still struggling below $2.35

The XRP/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and inefficient as XRP has failed to push past the $2.35 resistance level over the past few days. XRP tested and found support around the $1.85 level during the weekend and has added 15% to its value since then.

At press time, XRP is trading at $2.21 per coin.

XRP/USD 4H Chart

If XRP continues its recovery, it could rally toward the next daily resistance level at $2.35, which is close to its 50-day EMA at $2.37. The next major resistance level is around the $2.68 level. 

The 4-hour RSI of 58 is above the neutral level, indicating a growing bullish narrative. Furthermore, the MACD lines are also within the positive territory as buyers have been in control this week.

On the flipside, if XRP fails to surpass the $2.35 resistance, it could continue its correction toward the Friday low of $1.82 over the next few days.

Bitcoin stalls around $86k, could dip lower; Check forecast

Key takeaways

  • BTC is down by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading below $87k.
  • It could dip lower if the bullish trend fails to prevail.

Bitcoin stalls around $86k

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) prices hover around key levels following a positive start to the week. The price action of the leading cryptocurrencies suggests fading bearish momentum. 

However, the bulls have failed to push prices higher, and Bitcoin could revisit lower support levels in the near term. However, if the support levels hold, Bitcoin could rally higher over the next few days.

Analysts are optimistic that Bitcoin’s price could appreciate in the medium to long term. While commenting on the current market conditions, Coinbase UK CEO Keith Grose said,

“Market conditions are shifting as institutions across Europe take a more structured and regulated approach to digital assets. We’re seeing clearer frameworks emerge, stronger infrastructure being developed, and early examples of central banks and financial institutions running controlled pilots to build practical understanding – including the Czech National Bank’s recent decision to test a small, ring-fenced portfolio of digital assets.”

Bitcoin’s price could face further pressure

The BTC/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Bitcoin has underperformed in the last 24 hours. The leading cryptocurrency found support around the $80k psychological level on Friday and has slightly bounced back since then. 

At press time, Bitcoin is trading around $86,800 per coin after failing to overcome the $90k resistance level. If the recovery continues, BTC could rally toward the next key resistance at $90,000.  The ILQ and TLQ levels above $92k could also serve as short-term targets for Bitcoin. 

BTC/USD 4H Chart

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart reads 47, after slipping below the oversold threshold last week, suggesting that downside pressure is declining. The MACD lines are also close to the bullish zone as buyers remain in control.

However, if BTC fails to overcome the $90k resistance, it could extend the decline toward the key psychological level at $80,000.

Stellar price forecast: XLM could rally higher as TVL hits new ATH

Key takeaways

  • XLM is trading above $0.24 after adding 2% to its value in the last 24 hours.
  • The cryptocurrency eyes a breakout as the Stellar blockchain hits a new TVL all-time high.

Stellar’s TVL hits a new all-time high

XLM has performed positively over the last 24 hours, adding 2% to its value during that period. The coin is now trading above $0.24 after adding over 10% in the previous two days.

The positive performance comes as Stellar’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has hit a new all-time high. According to DefiLlama, XLM’s TVL has reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $169.30 million on Tuesday. 

The surge in TVL suggests a growing activity and interest in the Stellar ecosystem, with more users depositing and using assets on XLM-based protocols. 

Data obtained from CryptoQuant also supports the positive outlook for XLM, with its spot and futures markets indicating large whale orders and buy dominance. These indicators point to a potential rally in the near term. 

XLM eyes $0.28 in the near term

The XLM/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Stellar Lumen has added over 2% to its value in the last 24 hours. The coin found support around the weekly support level at $0.221 on Friday, and has added over 10% to its value since then. 

XLM/USD 4H Chart

Currently, XLM is trading at $0.248, close to the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level of  $0.256, a key resistance zone. 

If XLM surges past the $0.256 resistance level, it could rally higher towards the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.292 over the next few hours or days. 

The 4-hour RSI of 54 is above the neutral 50, indicating a growing bullish trend. For the recovery rally to be sustained, the RSI must continue towards the overbought region. Furthermore, the MACD exhibited a bullish crossover over the weekend, signaling a buy opportunity and reinforcing the bullish thesis.

However, if XLM faces a correction, the bearish trend could extend toward the weekly support level at $0.221.

Ripple price forecast: XRP bounces back above $2.0 as the $1.9 support holds

Key takeaways

  • XRP is up by less than 1% and is now trading above $2.
  • The cryptocurrency could rally towards the $2.2 level in the near term.

XRP recovers as selloff temporarily halts

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) begin the new week positively as they slightly recover from last week’s massive correction. These top three cryptocurrencies are currently trading above their key support levels, suggesting recovery continuation. 

Despite that, the market sentiment remains fragile, and the bearish trend could continue. XRP has lost 10% of its value since last week as the broader crypto market liquidated over $1 billion worth of leveraged positions within hours. 

The massive liquidations came as Bitcoin dropped towards the $81k level, while XRP failed to hold its value above $2.0. Ether also dropped below $3k for the first time in months.

However, the market is showing signs of recovery, and XRP could rally higher in the near term. Currently, the market is inefficient on several timeframes, and this could result in a temporary rally.

XRP recovers as the $1.96 support level holds

The XRP/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and inefficient thanks to XRP’s sudden dump last week. XRP’s price faced rejection from the 50-day EMA at $2.38 on November 13 and lost 19% of its value in the following eight days, hitting a low of $1.82 on Friday. 

XRP/USD 4H Chart

The cryptocurrency has rebounded slightly after retesting its daily support level above $1.9 over the weekend. At press time, XRP is trading above $2.05 per coin.

The RSI of 47 is close to the neutral 50, suggesting that bearish pressure is easing and supporting a recovery view. The MACD lines are also closing in on the bullish crossover. 

If the recovery continues, XRP could rally towards the next major resistance around $2.35 over the next few hours or days. However, if XRP undergoes another correction, it could retest the Friday low of $1.82 in the near term.

Bitcoin price forecast: Is Bitcoin heading for $80k?

Key takeaways

  • BTC is down 7% in the last 24 hours and is now trading around $81k per coin.
  • The leading cryptocurrency could drop towards the $80k level if the bearish trend continues.

BTC continues to underperform

The cryptocurrency market has continued its poor performance in November. Bitcoin has lost 9.6% of its value in the last 24 hours and temporarily dropped below the $82k level.

The bearish performance comes amid a massive selloff in the market. JPMorgan analysts led by managing director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou stated in a report earlier this week that the ongoing selloff is driven mainly by retail selling of spot bitcoin and ether ETFs rather than crypto-native traders. The analysts added that,

“While crypto native investors were responsible for the crypto market correction in October via heavy deleveraging in perpetual futures, this previous deleveraging in perpetual futures appears to have stabilised in November. Instead, it has been non-crypto investors, mostly retail investors who typically use spot bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs to invest in the crypto market, that appear to have been mostly responsible for the continuation of the crypto market correction in November.”

The selloff has also affected altcoins, with Ether, XRP, and other leading cryptocurrencies in the red. 

Bitcoin slips below $82,000

The BTC/USD daily chart is bearish and inefficient as Bitcoin has lost 10% of its value in the last 24 hours. BTC began the week bearish, extending its decline by 2% and closing below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $94,253.

The $90k support level on Wednesday failed to hold, and Bitcoin has now dumped another 10% since then.. At the time of writing on Friday, BTC is trading down around 83,400.

BTC/USD daily chart

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart stands at 22, indicating strong bearish momentum and oversold conditions for the leading cryptocurrency. The MACD lines are also extremely bearish at the moment. 

If the selloff continues and Bitcoin closes the daily candle below the $85k support, it could extend the decline toward the key psychological level at $80,000.

However, if the $85k support level holds in the near term, BTC could rally and hit the next key resistance at $90,000.

Dogecoin Price Forecast: DOGE could retest $0.14

Key takeaways

  • DOGE is down by less than 1% and is trading above $0.15.
  • DOGE’s derivatives market shows signs of recovery as Open Interest rises to $1.66 billion.

Dogecoin’s derivatives data shows signs of recovery

DOGE, the native coin of the Dogecoin ecosystem, continues its poor performance this week after losing less than 1% of its value in the last 24 hours. The leading memecoin is currently trading at $0.157 and could record further losses in the near term.

 Since the October 10 flash crash, which liquidated over $19 billion in crypto assets in a single day, Dogecoin has lost 37% of its value. 

The selloff reflects the bearish sentiment in the broader crypto market, with uncertainty of another Fed rate cut causing capital flight in the cryptocurrency market. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said during the last FOMC meeting that a December rate cut was not guaranteed, which spooked investors and fueled risk-off sentiment.

Despite DOGE’s poor performance, its derivative market has shown promise in recent days. The Dogecoin futures Open Interest (OI) has stabilized over the past few days. Data obtained from Coinglass shows that traders are slowly regaining confidence in Dogecoin’s ability to sustain short-term recovery.

Coinglass added that Dogecoin OI-Weighted Funding Rate has risen to 0.0076% on Wednesday from Tuesday’s -0.0083%. The surge comes as traders increasingly pile into long positions. 

DOGE remains bearish as market volatility continues

The DOGE/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient as Dogecoin has lost 10% of its value in the last 24 hours. The bearish performance comes as the broader crypto market continues to underperform. 

ETH/USD 4H Chart

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart at 48 risks extending its decline toward oversold territory. If the selloff continues, DOGE could potentially escalate the downtrend below $0.1500.

Dogecoin is currently trading below he 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.1893, the 100-day EMA at $0.2024, and the 200-day EMA at $0.2090, and they could serve as strong resistance levels in the near term.

If the bearish trend continues, DOGE could drop below the $0.15 level and retest the $0.1424 support last tested in June.

SOL dips below $140 as market sentiment remains bearish

Key takeaways

  • Solana is down by less than 1% and is currently trading below $140.
  • Canary Capital and Fidelity announced the launch of their spot Solana ETFs SOLC and FSOL on Tuesday.

SOL down 1% despite positive fundamentals

SOL, the native coin of the Solana blockchain, is down by less than 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading below $140. This bearish performance comes despite Canary Capital and Fidelity announcing the launch of their spot Solana Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), SOLC and FSOL, on Tuesday.

— Solana (@solana) November 18, 2025

The news boosted market sentiment amid growing institutional investors. However, it didn’t translate into a positive rally for SOL, as the coin continues to eye the weekly support level around $128. 

Fidelity became the fourth asset manager to launch an SOL ETF and also added a staking feature to the fund. This latest development indicates growing institutional interest in Solana-based investment products, which could become a bullish outlook for SOL in the long term. 

SOL could retest the $128 low as bearish momentum persists

The SOL/USD daily chart is bearish and efficient as Solana has underperformed over the past few days. SOL faced rejection at the daily level of $168.79 last week and has lost over 22% of its value since then. At press time, SOL is trading above $136 per coin after hitting the $144 level on Tuesday. 

SOL/USD Daily Chart

If the current support level at $128.68 continues to hold, SOL could extend the recovery toward the next major resistance and TLQ level at $160. The RSI on the daily chart currently stands at 34, indicating that the bearish trend remains strong.

However, if SOL’s daily candle closes below $128.68 over the next few hours, the coin could extend its decline toward the next daily support at $118. Currently, the trend and order flow are negative, indicating that sellers are in control.

Litecoin Price Forecast: Weak demand could push LTC below $90

Key takeaways

  • LTC is down 1.7% in the last 24 hours and is trading above $93 per coin.
  • The bearish performance comes amid weakening demand.

LTC stays below $100

The cryptocurrency market has underperformed earlier this week, but the selling pressure has subsided in the past few hours. Litecoin is currently down by 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading above $93, down from the $95 weekly high it reached a few hours ago.

Despite the recent price action, the fundamentals for Litecoin remain neutral. The total supply of LTC coins in profit dropped to 57%, creating a heavy selling activity, with investors posting a combination of loss realization and profit-taking in the past few days.

According to the data obtained from Santiment, the distribution comes mainly from investors who purchased the cryptocurrencies over the last two months. 

This weakness is also significant across US spot Litecoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as they have failed to attract demand. 

Data obtained from SoSoValue shows that since the launch of the Litecoin ETFs in October, they have attracted a cumulative net inflow of $7.26 million, according to SoSoValue data. The only spot Litecoin ETF available in the US is Canary’s LTCC.

On the derivatives market, Litecoin’s funding rates flashed negative twice over the last two days. This indicates short traders are gaining momentum in the Litecoin market. Litecoin’s Open Interest (OI) has recovered slightly to 5.57 million LTC but remains far from pre-October 10 leverage-flush levels of 8.80 million LTC.

LTC could retest the $90 support level

The LTC/USD daily chart remains bearish and inefficient as the coin has lost 8% of its value in the last seven days. Litecoin dipped to the $90.2 support level on Tuesday but quickly rallied to the $95.4 resistance area. It failed to overcome the $95 resistance area and is now trading above $93.66. 

LTC/USD Daily Chart

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch) are below their neutral levels, indicating that the bears are currently in control of the market. 

If the bullish recovery continues, LTC could rally above the $116 efficiency level over the next few hours. However, LTC could drop to the $80 support level if the bulls fail to defend the $90.2 region.

AAVE could dip below $150 despite the Aave App launch

Key takeaways

  • AAVE is down 4% in the last 24 hours and is now trading at $171 per coin.
  • The bearish performance comes despite the launch of the Aave App on the App Store.

Aave launches the Aave App on App Store

Aave, the largest decentralized crypto lending platform, announced on Monday that it is launching its Aave App on Apple’s App Store. The team revealed that the app will allow users to earn up to 6.5% annualized yield, higher than money market funds, leveraging Aave’s infrastructure lending protocol.

Users can also deposit funds from bank accounts, debit cards, or stablecoins. The new app also offers “balance protection” on deposits up to $1 million.

However, this announcement didn’t stop AAVE from being affected by the bearish trend of the broader crypto market. AAVE has lost 4% of its value in the last 24 hours and risks declining further as the market selloff continues.

AAVE could retest the $150 psychological level

The AAVE/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and inefficient as the coin has lost 21% of its value in the last seven days. The technical indicators are also bearish, with the RSI of 38 indicating that AAVE could enter the oversold region if the selloff continues. 

AAVE/USD 4H Chart

The MACD lines are still within the negative territory, suggesting that traders could reduce their risk in the market. If the bearish trend continues, AAVE could retest the $150 support level in the coming hours or days. An extended bearish trend could see AAVE drop below the October 10 low of $133.

However, if the market recovers, AAVE could rally towards the first major resistance level at $183. Overcoming the $200 psychological level would allow AAVE to target the recent $236 monthly high.

Bitcoin price forecast: BTC eyes $85k support level as selloff continues

Key takeaways

  • BTC slipped below $90k a few hours ago but has rebounded and is now trading above $91k.
  • The leading cryptocurrency could dip towards $85k if the selloff continues.

The cryptocurrency market has continued its bearish performance in November as Bitcoin lost 5% of its value in the last 24 hours and temporarily dropped below the $90k level. It has recovered slightly and is now trading above $91k per coin.

Institutional demand and bearish order flow see BTC underperform

The bearish performance comes as institutional demand continues to decline.  US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded $254.54 million in outflows on Monday, extending the persistent wave of withdrawals. 

According to SoSoValue, over $1.1 billion was withdrawn from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs over the last seven days. If the outflows continue and intensify, Bitcoin’s price could record further losses in the near term. 

In addition to that, on-chain data for Bitcoin suggests that BTC is yet to find the bottom and could record further losses in the near term. Recent data shows that the Average BTC Deposit Volume has surpassed 0.9 on Tuesday, signaling rising selling pressure. 

Historically, when average deposit volume on Binance increases, Bitcoin faces heavy selling pressure. Furthermore, the Binance Exchange Reserves have exceeded 580,000 BTC. This is a sign of growing sell pressure, with demand currently weak in the market. 

BTC could retest the $85k support level

The BTC/USD 4-H chart is bearish and inefficient as Bitcoin has extremely underperformed over the past few days. The coin faced rejection at the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level at $106,453 since last Monday and has declined by more than 10% since then. 

BTC/USD 4H Chart

If the bearish correction continues, Bitcoin could decline towards the next psychological support level at $85k. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart is at 34, reinforcing the strong bearish momentum. The MACD indicator also signals that BTC remains in deeply oversold conditions.

However, if BTC recovers, it could extend the recovery toward the resistance level at $94,253.
