BTC analysis

BTC daily chart overall bearish trading within a falling wedge
BTC Chart – Daily Timeframe

As per our last market outlook, BTC remained overall bearish, trading within the falling wedge pattern marked in orange.

As the bears maintain control within the wedge, a bearish continuation toward the lower bound of the blue channel at $75,000 is expected.

BTC 1h chart overall bullish short-term as long as the last low at $83,500 holds.
BTC Chart – 1H Timeframe

Short term, BTC has been bullish, trading within the rising channel marked in red.

If the recent low at $83,500 is broken to the downside, a daily bearish impulsive move would be expected to start.

5 Altcoins Analysis

As per our last short, APT has been trading within a wide range between the round numbers of $5 and $10.

This week, APT is retesting the lower bound of its range at $5, so we will be looking for long opportunities on lower timeframes.

For the bulls to shift the short-term momentum in their favor, a break above the red structure at $5.45 is needed.

Then, for the bulls to maintain control in the long term, a break above the last major daily high at $6.10 is required.

Closing Remarks

In summary, BTC continues to show overall bearish momentum on the daily timeframe, with potential for further downside if key support levels break. However, short-term price action remains bullish within a rising channel.

Among the altcoins, APT, JTO, CAKE, VIDT, and XRP are presenting mixed setups, with many retesting critical support levels.

APT and JTO are trading near key range lows and wedge structures, offering possible long setups if support holds.

CAKE is at a demand zone, while VIDT shows bullish continuation potential within its rising channel.

XRP remains strong above the $2 level, with bullish momentum contingent on a breakout above $2.22. Traders should monitor key levels closely across all pairs for potential entries.
