Zcash climbed through $1,000 while Bitcoin briefly traded above $82,000 after a softer signal from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller drew buyers back to risk assets. The move lifted the wider crypto market to its highest valuation in more than seven months, although strong US employment data later cooled the rally.
This week, the ETH/USD pair is rising in line with the broader market trend amid positive geopolitical signals that have increased investor interest in risk assets and allowed the quotes to renew a four-week high at 2270.00.
The SOL/USD pair has remained within a sideways range of 91.00-75.00 for the third month in a row: amid geopolitical and monetary uncertainty, quotations still lack sufficient drivers to determine the direction of further movement.
Algorand is currently among the biggest gainers in the cryptocurrency market. Google Quantum AI’s analysis has played an important role in the current momentum, having already sparked strong reactions around Bitcoin earlier. However, the key question now is how sustainable this rally will be.
Solana (SOL) is once again coming under increasing pressure, with new yearly lows no longer ruled out. This price analysis outlines all key chart levels.
This week, XRP/USD quotes fell below the sideways range of 1.5625–1.3671 (Murray levels [8/8]–[7/8]), where the pair had remained for more than two months. A break below 1.3000 (the area of March lows) may act as a catalyst for further bearish momentum toward targets at 0.9765 (Murray level [5/8]) and 0.7812 (Murray level [4/8]). The resistance zone at 1.5625–1.6420 (Murray level [8/8], Fibonacci retracement 61.8%) remains key for buyers: consolidation above this range may lead to a breakout from the descending channel through its upper boundary and further growth toward 1.9531 (Murray level [+2/8]) and 2.3519 (Fibonacci retracement 38.2%).
The SOL/USD pair remains stable, trading within the primary sideways range of 91.00–75.00. This week, prices are making moderate attempts to rise in line with the broader market trend, supported by US President Donald Trump’s statement that the operation in the Persian Gulf region could conclude within two to three weeks.
Cardano and Bitcoin are moving closer from a technical perspective. The first Atomic Swap on the mainnet demonstrates how native assets can move between the two blockchains without wrapped tokens or traditional bridges. For Cardano, this could become a new source of Bitcoin liquidity in the long term.
The ETH/USD pair remains within the primary sideways range of 2187.50–1875.00 (Murrey [7/8]–[6/8]), which it briefly left in the middle of the current month. The market still lacks strong drivers for a decisive directional move. A breakdown below 1875.00 (Murrey [6/8]) would allow sellers to target 1481.60 (Fibonacci 100.0%), 1250.00 (Murrey [4/8]), and 937.50 (Murrey [3/8]). Meanwhile, the key level for bulls remains 2500.00 (Murrey [8/8], Bollinger Bands midline, W1). A breakout above this level would push prices above the long-term descending channel and support further growth, with the potential for a long-term trend reversal toward 2812.50 (Murrey [+1/8], Fibonacci 61.8%), 3125.00 (Murrey [+2/8], Fibonacci 50.0%), and 3560.00 (Fibonacci 38.2%).

Selling pressure in the cryptocurrency market has intensified again over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin temporarily dropped below the $68,000 mark, losing around 3% on the day.
XRP price action currently shows a fairly clear pattern. Attempts to move higher are quickly met with selling, while a sustained bullish impulse fails to take shape. As a result, the situation remains tense and largely dependent on external factors. XRP is still struggling to establish itself firmly above the $1.50 level. Short-term upward moves appear regularly, but they fade quickly due to weak demand. As a result, XRP remains stuck in a sideways range without a clear direction.
SOL/USD has returned to the main sideways channel of 91.00–75.00, which it briefly left last week, and stabilized near its upper boundary. The market still lacks strong drivers capable of setting a clear direction. The key level for bulls remains 100.00 (Murray [4/8]). A breakout above this level could reverse the long-term downtrend and open the way toward 125.00 (Murray [6/8]) and 137.50 (Murray [7/8], 50.0% Fibonacci retracement). If the price breaks below the lower boundary of 75.00 (Murray [2/8]), bears may regain control with potential targets at 62.50 (Murray [1/8]) and 50.00 (Murray [0/8]).
