SOL/USD has resumed its decline within a long-term downtrend after an extended consolidation inside the 150.00–125.00 range and is now moving lower along its upper boundary. The price is approaching the 75.00 level (Murray [2/8]), which was unsuccessfully tested a week earlier. A confirmed break below this mark would open the way toward 50.00 (Murray [0/8]) and 25.00 (Murray [-2/8]). For bulls, the key resistance zone lies at 107.40–112.50 (Fibonacci 61.8% retracement, Murray [4/8], middle Bollinger Band). A breakout above this area would signal a stronger upside recovery toward 150.00 (Murray [8/8]) and 175.00 (Murray [+2/8]).

The XRP/USD pair remains within a long-term, устойчив downward trend. An attempt at corrective growth at the beginning of the year, when the price tested 2.3437 (Murray level [8/8], 38.2% Fibonacci retracement), proved unsuccessful, after which the instrument resumed active losses. Last week, it reached the November 2024 low at 1.1175, but later managed to recover toward 1.3671 (Murray level [3/8]). A firm break below this level would act as a catalyst for further bearish momentum toward 1.1718 (Murray level [2/8]) and 0.7812 (Murray level [0/8]).

For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer. Macro still matters too: rates, dollar strength, and risk appetite shape inflows and outflows. Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
