Ethereum is trading in a fragile technical zone after a recent pullback, with its latest rebound still looking corrective and lacking strong momentum. Analysts note that without a clear five‑wave impulsive move higher or a decisive break above the recent weekend high and the $2,100 resistance, downside risk and the prospect of a deeper move toward higher‑timeframe support remain elevated. Until key levels are reclaimed and structure improves, some market participants indicate they are prioritizing risk management and hedging over calling a confirmed bottom.

Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin urged builders to push the network toward AI leadership by prioritizing zero‑knowledge privacy payments and on‑chain reputation systems. The piece also highlights 13,000 AI agents registered in one day and ERC‑8004 going live on mainnet, while the Ethereum Foundation targets a zkVM whitepaper and proofs by December 2026 at roughly 300 kilobytes with 128‑bit security.

XRP is advancing in a Wave 4 relief rally after last Thursday's sharp sell-off pushed RSI to multi‑year lows, which CasiTrades interprets as possible capitulation. Price has already tested the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement near $1.52 and could extend toward the key $1.65 region, where multiple Fib levels converge. Failure to hold $1.65 as support may open the door to a final leg lower toward $1.09 or even $0.90, while a decisive break and retest above that level would improve the recovery outlook.

Analysts argue that Bitcoin’s price cannot be reduced to a single halving or macro cycle, as several economic forces interact at the same time. Giovanni notes that the halving still mechanically changes miner incentives while a 4‑year pattern also appears in the PMI, implying coupled cycles rather than one dominant driver. Another analyst, The Smart Ape, reports that a simple probability model for 15‑minute BTC markets on Polymarket tracks trader‑set odds within a 1–5% band, suggesting bot‑driven, rules‑based trading behaviour.

Bitcoin is currently trading between two major liquidity zones, with price action compressing as both long and short positions accumulate at key levels. One analyst highlights a high‑timeframe liquidity pool around $65,300 as the main downside target, while intraday liquidity clusters are also forming near $69,900 and above $71,450. Another market watcher notes that liquidity on the 24‑hour heatmap is concentrated between roughly $67,800–$68,200 on the downside and $71,500–$72,500 on the upside, leaving traders focused on which side will be taken out first rather than on simple direction.

Over the past few weeks, volatility has intensified and Bitcoin’s price fell sharply, placing it in a deep bear-market conviction zone, according to Marcus Corvinus. Crypto Candy noted a move from $61,000–$58,000 into $70,000–$67,000 and a touch of $71,000 without a daily close above, keeping near-term retracements as the base case.

Analysts on X, including Kamile Uray, say ETH is tracing a weekly Libra setup that remains valid while the candle is open, with invalidation below $1,388 and upside levels near $3,445 and $4,956. Can Özsüer reports price around $2,086 after a ~22% rise from $1,730, highlighting $2,475 and $1,950–$2,000 as key levels.

Solana has fallen back into a major weekly demand zone that analysts say could dictate whether its recent outperformance resumes or slips into extended consolidation. One analyst highlights this area as a historic pivot where momentum often either recovers or weakens, while another points to $119 and the 200-week simple moving average around $100 as key levels for any high-conviction long setup.

SUI is trading in a compression zone near key resistance around $2, with analysts highlighting this area as a typical smart money entry stage. The weekly chart shows an intact ascending channel, demand between $1.15 and $0.80, and price currently hovering near $1.28 with support at $1.50. A sustained move above $2 could open the way toward $2.50 and higher targets, while failure to clear resistance risks a downside retest toward $1.20.
