– USDT.D and BTC Analysis

USDT.D and BTC analysis

USDT.D weekly chart rejecting a strong resistance at 5%.
USDT.D Chart – Weekly Timeframe

After being bullish for a couple of weeks, USDT.D is finally hitting resistance at 5%–5.3% as per our last market outlook.

As long as the resistance zone and upper red trendline hold, the overall bias would be bearish for USDT.D and bullish for crypto.

USDT.D 4h chart overall bearish as long as the 5% resistance holds.
USDT.D Chart – 4H Timeframe

As long as the 5% resistance level holds, USDT.D will remain bearish, and a further decline towards the 4.65% structure is expected.

BTC daily chart overall bearish as it broke below the $95,000 structure.
BTC Chart – Daily Timeframe

After breaking below the $95,000 structure marked in red, BTC has remained overall bearish, as mentioned in our last roundup article.

As long as the $95,000 resistance level holds, further bearish movement towards the $72,500 weekly support marked in orange is expected.

BTC 4h chart overall bearish trading within the falling wedge pattern.
BTC Chart – 4H Timeframe

On the 4H timeframe, BTC has been bearish, trading within the falling wedge pattern marked in orange.

For the bulls to shift momentum in their favor in the medium term, a break above $95,000 is needed.

Meanwhile, if the red channel is broken downward, a bearish impulse toward $72,500 would be expected.

5 Altcoins Analysis

NEAR has been overall bearish from both long-term and short-term perspectives, trading within the falling channel marked in red.

However, it is currently hovering around a support level, the lower trendline, and the key $3 round number, so we will be looking for longs on lower timeframes.

NEAR weekly chart rejecting a strong round number $3.

For the bulls to take over in the short term, a break above the last minor high at $3.025 is needed.

For the bulls to remain in control in the medium term, a break above the $3.65 major resistance is required.

NEAR 4h chart hovering within a big range between $3 and $3.5.
NEAR Chart – 4H Timeframe

APT has been trading within a range between $5 support and $7.7 resistance.

Currently, APT is hovering around the lower bound of the range, so we will be looking for longs as long as it holds.

For the bulls to take over in the long term, a break above the $7.7 resistance is required.

APT daily chart hovering within a range between $5 and $7.

Next up is KAITO. As mentioned in our last Coin of the Week article, it rejected the $1.35–$1.5 support zone and surged by over 35%.

For the bulls to take over in the long term, a break above the $2 resistance level is needed.

Meanwhile, if it retests the $1.5 support, we will be looking for new longs.

KAITO 1h chart rejecting the structure at $2.

Analyzing OP, it is currently retesting the lower bound of its falling channel, marked in orange, and the $1 round number.

As long as the $0.9 support level holds, we will be looking for longs on lower timeframes.

OP weekly chart hovering around the lower bound of its channel at $1.
OP Chart – Weekly Timeframe

For the bulls to take over in the short term, a break above the $1 round number is required.

From a long-term perspective, a break above the major high at $1.21, marked in red, is needed for a full shift in momentum from the accumulation phase to the markup phase.

Last but not least, TAO has been rejecting the lower bound of its falling channel, marked in blue, which aligns perfectly with the round number $300.

In the short term, for the bulls to take charge, a break above the falling red channel and the last high at $336 is needed.
