Bitcoin Eyes Support Hold, Altcoins Face Pressure

Bitcoin (BTC) has dipped below $90,000, facing resistance from bears eager to shift control. However, historical data reveals a January dip after halving years, presenting potential buying opportunities. In 2017 and 2021, BTC experienced declines of 30% and 25%, respectively, but rebounded and reached record highs later in the year.

The broader financial markets are also experiencing turbulence, with the S&P 500 (SPX) undergoing a correction. The strength of the US Dollar Index (DXY) is pressuring risk assets, while markets anticipate less aggressive rate cuts in the future.

Despite short-term uncertainty, long-term investors continue to accumulate Bitcoin. MicroStrategy has recently acquired 2,530 BTC, boosting its holdings to 450,000.

Technical Analysis

S&P 500 Index

SPX has formed a head-and-shoulders pattern, with a breakdown below 5,853. Bulls aim to recover the level, while bears seek to defend it. A drop below 5,853 could trigger a fall to 5,670, while a break above 5,929 (20-day EMA) could invalidate the breakdown.

US Dollar Index

DXY has bounced off its 20-day EMA, indicating positive sentiment and support for the uptrend. Bulls have pushed the index above 109.53. Further rallies are possible towards 111.27 and 113.14, while a drop below 108 could signal a reversal.

Bitcoin

BTC has turned down from its 20-day EMA, facing selling pressure. A dip below $90,000 could lead to a potential drop to $85,000 or $73,777. Bulls are trying to hold the $90,000 level, but a sustained breakdown could extend the decline.

Ether

ETH has broken down below the head-and-shoulders neckline, indicating bearish dominance. A decline to $2,850 is likely, with support expected there. A rally from $2,850 could face resistance at the neckline, increasing the risk of a drop below $2,850. A break above the neckline could signal a bullish reversal.

XRP

XRP has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern, showing bullish potential. Support lies at $2.35 (20-day EMA), while a rise above the triangle could lead to gains towards $2.60, $2.73, and $2.91. A break below the moving averages could result in a dip to the support line.

BNB

BNB has failed to reclaim $697 (20-day EMA), indicating a sell-off at higher levels. Bears aim to push the pair towards the uptrend line, with a breach below this support potentially leading to a decline to $635. A recovery from the uptrend line would signal ongoing bullish sentiment.

Solana

SOL has fallen below its uptrend line, suggesting bearish momentum. A close below the line could trigger a decline to $155, where bulls are expected to defend the level. A drop below $133 could indicate further bearish pressure. A break above $196 (20-day EMA) would indicate strength.

Dogecoin

DOGE has declined from its 20-day EMA, with strong support at $0.30. A breach of this level could lead to a drop to $0.27. A rebound from $0.30 would suggest bullish buying, while a break above the 20-day EMA could signal a potential trading range between $0.30 and $0.40.

Cardano

ADA has failed to recover from the uptrend line, facing negative sentiment. Bulls will attempt to defend the line and push the pair above $1.01 (50-day SMA), while bears aim to break below the line and target $0.80 or $0.76. A breakout above the triangle would indicate bullish control.

Avalanche

AVAX has broken below $34.87, indicating bearish dominance. Support exists at $33.60, but a drop below could lead to a decline to $30.50 or $22.35. Bulls face resistance at $38.67 (20-day EMA) and $45. A break above $45 would signal a potential end to the correction.
