Ethereum price started a fresh increase above the $2,485 zone. ETH is now consolidating gains and might soon aim for a move above the $2,520 resistance.

• Ethereum started a fresh upward move above the $2,465 level.
• The price is trading above $2,460 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
• There is a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2,450 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
• The pair could start a fresh increase if it remains stable above the $2,400 zone in the near term.

Ethereum Price Eyes Fresh Gains

Ethereum price started a fresh increase above the $2,440 support level, like Bitcoin. ETH price was able to clear the $2,460 and $2,480 resistance levels to move into a positive zone.

The bulls even pushed the price above the $2,500 zone. However, the bears were active near the $2,520 level. A high was formed at $2,522 and the price is now consolidating gains. The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,435 swing low to the $2,522 high.

Ethereum price is now trading above $2,460 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $2,450 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,435 swing low to the $2,522 high.

On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $2,520 level. The next key resistance is near the $2,550 level. The first major resistance is near the $2,600 level. A clear move above the $2,600 resistance might send the price toward the $2,680 resistance.

An upside break above the $2,680 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,750 resistance zone or even $2,800 in the near term.

Downside Break In ETH?

If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,520 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,450 level and the trend line. The first major support sits near the $2,420 zone.

A clear move below the $2,420 support might push the price toward the $2,400 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,350 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,320.

The XRP price may be on the verge of a significant breakout, according to a new wave count analysis combining the Elliott Wave Theory and the Wyckoff reaccumulation principles. After months of sideways trading and corrective movement, analysts have pinpointed a critical price level that could serve as a trigger point for XRP’s next leg higher. 

XRP Price Primed For Major Lift-Off From This Level

A new analysis published by crypto analyst the ‘Charting Prodigy’ on X (formerly Twitter) suggests that the XRP price is following a clear Elliott Wave structure that began forming after the April lows this year. The price has completed Wave 1 of a new impulse cycle, followed by a WXY corrective Wave 2.

Recent price action also indicates that XRP is now entering sub-wave 3 of Macro Wave 5, which is typically the most powerful and extended wave in the cycle. The standout detail of Charting Prodigy’s analysis is the identified trigger level at $2.56.

According to the expert’s analysis, a confirmed breakout above this critical trigger point could signal the start of a rapid markup phase, potentially propelling XRP toward the $2.9 to $3.4 range. The significance of this bullish target is supported by not only the Elliott Wave analysis but also the Wyckoff reaccumulation, Fibonacci extension targets, and the emergence of a bullish divergence forming on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Notably, the analyst points to a classic Wyckoff accumulation structure taking shape on the XRP price chart. He identified key phases such as Preliminary Support (PSY), Automatic Rally (AR), and Secondary Test (ST). The structure also included a “spring” phase and, most recently, a Last Point of Support (LPS). 

The emergence of these Wyckoff elements suggests that XRP has completed its reaccumulation and has entered the aforementioned markup phase, where price tends to go parabolic. The combination of these technical indicators and chart patterns also indicates that $2.65 is the level to watch as XRP makes its way up to price levels close to its former ATH. 

XRP Set For Double-Digit Target In 2 Weeks 

According to a new chart analysis by crypto analyst Egrag Crypto, XRP may be on the verge of a historic breakout. Presenting a 2-week price chart, the analyst highlights a macro bullish formation that could push XRP into double-digit territory—targeting $10, $18, $27, and even a whopping $55 in the months ahead.

Egrag Crypto’s chart draws attention to a long-standing macro ascending channel that XRP has respected since 2016. Past breakouts from similar setups have historically delivered exponential gains for the cryptocurrency. 

The key trigger, according to the analysis, is a decisive move above the 21-week timeframe. This same signal preceded XRP’s explosive rally in 2017 when it surged from under 1 cent to an all-time high of $3.84. Notably, the analysis emphasizes the importance of remaining within this macro ascending channel, indicating that as long as the lower trendline holds and the 21 EMA is breached, XRP’s bullish case remains intact.

XRP analyst Egrag Crypto, who is well-known for offering bullish predictions about the altcoin, has now drawn the crypto community’s attention to another altcoin, XDC. The analyst predicts this crypto token could also witness a remarkable surge and enjoy up to a 3,350% gain as bullish metrics emerge. 

XDC To Rally To $2 As Indicators Turn Bullish

In an X post, Egrag Crypto stated that XDC will rally to $1 and then easily surge to $2. This came as he remarked that the altcoin’s chart looks “amazing.” First, the XRP analyst noted that the RGB (Red-Green-Blue) indicators perfectly align with the XDC token. Based on this, he asserted that the next move for the altcoin could be a 10x pump.

This XDC price surge is expected to target the Fibonacci levels between 1.414 and 1.618, rallying to between $0.50 and $0.80. The XRP analyst remarked that this is still below the previous cycle’s blow-off top, when the token soared by 3,350%. He expects XDC to replicate this explosive move, potentially surging to the $2 target. 

The XRP analyst alluded to the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (SRSI) as another bullish indicator. He revealed that the SRSI is waving bullish signals. The analyst admitted that there is still a long road for XDC to reach and sustain RSI levels above 80, but claimed that the momentum is definitely on the bulls’ side. In line with this, Egrag Crypto asserted that big moves could just be around for the altcoin. 

The Bearish Angle For The Altcoin

The XRP analyst also provided a bearish angle for the XDC price. He revealed that the 21 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is on the verge of crossing below the 33 Moving Average. If that happens, the analyst warned that it could turn super bearish.

However, he added that this crossover will most likely be avoided and that there could be a blow-off top before the inevitable retracement. The analyst also urged market participants to be attentive as the sharp move higher would come unexpectedly before a big crash to the downside. 

From a fundamental perspective, XDC’s outlook also looks bullish. The XDC network just officially joined the MiCA alliance, which is a major step forward in aligning blockchain innovation with regulatory clarity in Europe. The team stated that the network is deeply committed to compliance, transparency, and building long-term trust. Like Ripple’s offering using XRP for cross-border payments, XDC is a layer-1 that offers real-world applications like trade finance, cross-border payments, and RWA tokenization.

At the time of writing, the XDC price is trading at around $0.07, up over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
