Rakesh Upadhyay2 hours agoPrice analysis 6/28: BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, ADA, DOGE, SOL, LTC, MATIC, DOTBitcoin and several altcoins are stuck in a tight range, indicating that a breakout is brewing.1081 Total viewsListen to article 0:00Price AnalysisJoin us on social networksA large part of the recent leg of Bitcoin’s rally started after BlackRock filed to list a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) on June 15. Several applications by other firms have been rejected by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in the past. However, BlackRock’s filing has a 50% possibility of getting approved, said Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. 

Another bullish catalyst for the cryptocurrency markets could be a filing by asset manager Fidelity Investments to launch its Bitcoin (BTC) spot ETF. CoinShares chief strategy officer Meltem Demirors said that firms managing $27 trillion of assets are “actively” pursuing efforts to allow their clients exposure in the crypto space.Daily cryptocurrency market performance.

Most of the focus in recent days has been on institutional money, but the retail trader’s power should not be underestimated. Fireblocks CEO and co-founder Michael Shaulov said in an interview with Cointelegraph that institutional entry may not boost prices higher because institutions are likely to do it in such a way as to avoid large price bursts. Shaulov said there was a significant inflow of institutional money in 2020, but the prices did not appreciate until retail investors entered.

Will Bitcoin and altcoins break out of their respective overhead resistance levels, or could they start a short-term correction? Let’s study the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.Bitcoin price analysis

Buyers tried to catapult Bitcoin above the overhead resistance of $31,000 on June 27, but the bears did not budge. This kept the price stuck inside the tight range between $31,000 and $29,500.BTC/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView

The bears are likely to make an attempt to sink the price below $29,500, but if bulls protect this level, it will indicate strength. The rising 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) of $28,696 and the relative strength index (RSI) in positive territory indicate that the path of least resistance is to the upside.

If buyers propel the price above $31,000, the BTC/USDT pair may resume its uptrend. The bears may try to stall the up move at $32,400, but the buyers are likely to bulldoze their way through.

The first indication of weakness will be a close below $29,500. That may pull the price to the 20-day EMA ($28,696). If this level cracks, the pair may stay range-bound between $31,000 and $24,800.Ether price analysis

Ether’s (ETH) narrow range trading between $1,936 and $1,861 resolved to the downside on June 26. The bulls pushed the price back into the range on June 27 but could not sustain the higher levels.ETH/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView

The bears are trying to sink the price below the moving averages. This remains the key level to watch out for in the near term because a break and close below it may open the gates for a potential decline to the strong support at $1,700.

Contrarily, if the price rebounds off the moving averages, it will suggest that the bulls are fiercely defending the level. The bulls will then make one more attempt to overcome the barrier at $1,937. If they succeed, the ETH/USDT pair could rally to the psychological level of $2,000 and then to $2,142.BNB price analysis

BNB (BNB) has reached the first support at $230. This level has not been broken since June 13, hence the bulls will try to defend it aggressively.BNB/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView

The first sign of strength will be a rise above the 20-day EMA ($247). That will indicate solid buying at lower levels. The BNB/USDT pair may then rise to the overhead resistance zone between $257 and $265.

On the contrary, if the price dumps below $230, the pair could fall to the vital support at $220. This remains the key level to keep an eye on in the near term because a break and close below it may start the next leg of the downtrend to $200.XRP price analysis

XRP (XRP) closed below the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $0.48 on June 26, and the attempts by the bulls to push the price back above the level failed on June 27. This suggests that the bears are trying to flip the 50-day SMA into resistance.XRP/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView

The downsloping 20-day EMA ($0.49) and the RSI in the negative territory indicate that the bears have the upper hand. The XRP/USDT pair could first drop to $0.44 and next to the strong support at $0.41.

This negative view will invalidate in the near term if the price turns up from the current level and breaks above the 20-day EMA. That could open the doors for a possible rally to $0.53 and then to $0.56.Cardano price analysis

The failure of the bulls to shove Cardano (ADA) above the overhead resistance of $0.30 may have resulted in profit booking.ADA/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView

The ADA/USDT pair turned down from the 20-day EMA ($0.29) on June 26, increasing the likelihood of range-bound action between $0.24 and $0.30 for a few days. Trading inside a range could be random and volatile.

Buyers will have to kick and maintain the price above $0.30 to signal the start of a sustained recovery. The pair may first ascend to the 50-day SMA ($0.33) and later to $0.38. On the downside, a break and close below $0.24 may start the next leg of the downtrend.Dogecoin price analysis

Dogecoin (DOGE) tripped below the 20-day EMA ($0.07) on June 26, indicating that the bears are fiercely defending the overhead resistance of $0.07.DOGE/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView

The bulls tried to push the price back above the 20-day EMA, but the bears held their ground. The DOGE/USDT pair may next tumble to the strong support at $0.06. A bounce off this level will indicate that the pair may oscillate between $0.06 and $0.07 for a while.

The flattish 20-day EMA and the RSI just below the midpoint also signal a possible consolidation in the near term. Buyers will have to overcome the barrier at $0.07 to start the next leg of the up move to $0.08 and then to $0.10.Solana price analysis

Solana (SOL) turned down from the 20-day EMA ($16.84) on June 26 and fell to the immediate support at $16.18. The bulls guarded the level on June 27, but they could not thrust the price above the 20-day EMA.SOL/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView

After the tight range trading of the past few days, the SOL/USDT pair is ripe for a range expansion. If the price plummets and sustains below $16.18, the pair may slide to $15.28 and thereafter to $14.

On the upside, the first sign of strength will be a break and close above the 20-day EMA. The pair may pick up momentum after the price rises above $17.75. The next stop is likely to be the breakdown level of $18.70.

If the price dips below the moving averages, the LTC/USDT pair could drop to $80 and then to $76. That may keep the pair stuck inside the descending channel pattern for a while longer.

If bulls want to maintain their hold, they will have to quickly propel the price above the resistance line of the channel. The pair may then start an up move, which could reach the overhead resistance at $105. The bears are expected to mount a strong defense at this level.Polygon price analysis

Polygon (MATIC) traded in a narrow range near the overhead resistance of $0.69 for the past few days, but the bulls failed to push the price above it.MATIC/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView

The failure of the bulls to clear the overhead hurdle may tempt the aggressive bears to sell. The gradually downsloping 20-day EMA ($0.67) and the RSI in the negative territory indicate that the bears have a minor advantage. Sellers will try to sink the price to the strong support zone between $0.56 and $0.51.

If bulls want to gain the upper hand, they will have to drive and sustain the price above $0.69. The MATIC/USDT pair may then climb to the 50-day SMA ($0.78).Polkadot price analysis

Polkadot (DOT) has been trading near the breakdown level of $5.15 for the past five days. Although the bears successfully defended the level, a positive sign is that the bulls have not allowed the price to dip below the 20-day EMA ($4.91).DOT/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView

The gradually rising 20-day EMA and the RSI in the positive territory indicate that the bulls have a slight edge. If buyers drive the price above $5.25, the DOT/USDT pair could rally to the next resistance at $5.56.

Contrary to this assumption, if the price turns down and breaks below the 20-day EMA, it will suggest that the bears are active at higher levels. The pair may then remain range-bound between $5.15 and $4.22 for a few days.
