Crypto Forecast 5/26: BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA, and More Key Moves

Bitcoin remains resilient with consistent buying on dips, while major altcoins attempt to stabilize. Will bulls maintain momentum or face critical resistance ahead?

BTC Keeps Climbing, But Key Barrier Remains

Bitcoin (BTC) holds steady near $109,588, signaling steady dip-buying. A strong eight-week uptrend could push BTC further, and previous cases of such performance led to higher prices in the following 6–12 months.

Institutional money continues to flow in, with $2.9 billion entering Bitcoin ETPs last week — roughly 25% of all 2024 inflows, according to CoinShares.

Still, analysts caution short-term weakness. Crazzyblockk from CryptoQuant warns of potential exhaustion, which could lead to a correction toward $105,000.

S&P 500 Faces Resistance After Pullback

The S&P 500 Index (SPX) declined from 5,968 to the 20-day EMA at 5,759. If the index bounces here, bulls may target the 6,000–6,147 zone.

A drop below the EMA could lead to a retreat to the 50-day SMA (5,584), where strong buying interest is likely.

US Dollar Index Teeters at Support

Bulls attempted to lift the US Dollar Index (DXY) above the 20-day EMA (100.15), but bears resisted. A breakdown below the 99 mark might extend losses to 97.92, then 95.67.

To end this correction phase, buyers must reclaim ground above the 50-day SMA (101.26).

Bitcoin Eyes $130K — But Risks Remain

BTC/USD is attempting to push past $111,980. If successful, a rally to $130,000 could unfold.

The 20-day EMA ($104,886) is vital support. A breakdown below could drive the price toward $100,000 — a level buyers are expected to defend strongly.

ETH Holds Strong at $2.4K Support

Ethereum (ETH) bounced from its 20-day EMA at $2,425, confirming buyer interest. If bulls reclaim $2,738, ETH could rise to $3,000, with resistance at $2,850.

Failure to sustain above key levels may lead to a slide to $2,323, and further to $2,111.

XRP Still Range-Bound Below $2.65

XRP continues trading between $2.65 and $2.00, showing indecision. A close above $2.48 could open the door for another attempt to breach $2.65.

On the downside, a break below the 50-day SMA may trigger a fall to the $2 level, with $1.61 as deeper support.

BNB Targets $693 Breakout

BNB is rebounding after finding support at its 20-day EMA ($652). Bulls now eye a move above $693, potentially propelling BNB to the $732–$761 resistance band.

A close below the EMA could drop the pair to $633, then possibly to the 50-day SMA at $617.

SOL Sets Sights on $210 and Beyond

Solana (SOL) bounced off its 20-day EMA at $169, suggesting continued buying interest. A push above $188 may drive prices toward $210, then $220.

A reversal below the EMA could lead to a drop to the 50-day SMA at $151, initiating possible range-bound activity between $153 and $188.

DOGE Eyes Breakout Above $0.26

Dogecoin (DOGE) remains in a tight $0.21–$0.26 band. A strong move above $0.26 could target $0.30 and $0.35.

Conversely, if $0.21 fails, DOGE could fall into a broader $0.14–$0.26 trading range.

ADA Awaits Breakout Confirmation

Cardano (ADA) tries to stay above its inverse H&S neckline but struggles to rally. Buyers need to clear $0.86 for a shot at $1.01.

If price slips below the neckline, it could descend to $0.60, likely bringing in buyers.

HYPE Maintains Momentum Above $35.73

Hyperliquid (HYPE) broke past $35.73 and continues its strong uptrend. If buyers sustain momentum, the price could rise toward $42.25, and possibly $50.

Support lies at $35.73. A bounce here strengthens the case for further gains, while a drop below $32 could shift the balance toward sellers.
