Amid sluggish trading volume, major coins are facing technical resistance and showing signs of weakness. Currently, Bitcoin is moving around $93.98K, Ethereum at $3.29K, and Ripple at $2.38, with the short-term direction depending on whether each coin can defend its key support levels.
Bitcoin(BTC): Failed to Break Long-term 61.8% Retracement… Reclaiming $90,000 as the First Test
Bitcoin has been experiencing technical weakness since the beginning of the week. It lost the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the rally from the April low(74,508) to the October high(126,299), which is at $94,253, increasing downward pressure. It has recently been holding around $85,900.
The daily RSI has fallen to 23, indicating an extremely oversold condition in the Relative Strength Index. Technically, this could be a buy signal at a low price, but the overall downtrend remains strong, making it difficult to feel confident.
Whether $85,000 support holds will be a crucial turning point. If this support breaks, the psychological threshold of $80,000 is likely to become the next target. Conversely, if this zone is maintained, a short-term rebound aiming to recover $90,000 could occur, and whether Bitcoin can reclaim $90,000 will serve as a key indicator of whether this correction is healthy.
Ethereum(ETH): Concerns of Chain Reaction Drop to $2,749 if Rebound Fails at $3,017
Ethereum has been under pressure after failing to rebound from resistance at $3,592 last week, resulting in a 14% decline. This week, it fell an additional 9.38%, breaking below the $3,017 support level, and is now at around $2,791, making a recovery to the $3,000 range more distant.
The RSI remains in a depressed zone, indicating that buying sentiment is frozen. The market’s biggest concern is further decline to $2,749(61.8% retracement), which would represent a significant retracement of the gains made since November.
However, if selling pressure weakens around mid-$2,700s, a technical rebound to resolve oversold conditions could occur. In this case, quickly recovering $3,017 will be the top priority, and only by regaining this level can the recent decline be considered a temporary correction.
Ripple(XRP): Holding $2 and Defending $1.77 as Final Support… RSI Signal Indicates Strong Momentum
Ripple has been showing continuous weakness after failing to break above the 50-day exponential moving average(EMA). After a 7% drop last week, it declined over 10% over four days this week, breaking below the $2 support level, and is currently at $2.38, forming technical resistance.
The RSI(32) is approaching oversold territory, suggesting that a technical rebound could happen at any time. However, the strong downward momentum makes caution necessary. If further declines occur, $1.77 is expected to act as the last support level where profit-taking from the mid-term rally will be absorbed.
Conversely, if the price stops falling near $2 and successfully rebounds, the daily resistance at $2.35 will become the first target. Reclaiming this level would demonstrate that the recent drop is merely a correction and could signal a return to an upward trend.
