Top 3 Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple – BTC below $102K, ETH holds support, XRP fades

Bitcoin is back under pressure. The rally that pushed BTC to $105,000 last week has lost momentum. Ethereum is holding steady near $2,530, while XRP rolls over again after failing to hold $2.50.

Bitcoin Price stalls below $105K

Bitcoin touched $105K over the weekend. Bulls couldn’t push past. Price slipped. At the time of writing, BTC trades around $101,776.

Bitcoin Chart Analysis

  • Resistance rejected at $105,000
  • Current level: $101,776
  • RSI: 33, momentum slowing
  • MACD: Bearish slope building
  • Support to watch: $100,000

If $100K cracks, selling could accelerate. On the flip side, a recovery above $103K would give bulls room to breathe.

Ethereum holds its line

ETH made a strong breakout last week. Pushed to $2,720. Since then, it’s pulled back. Right now, it’s hovering just above $2,530, a key support level.

Ethereum Chart Analysis

  • RSI: 44, slowly drifting lower
  • MACD: Red bars growing
  • Support: $2,530, then $2,436
  • Resistance: $2,600 and $2,720

If the 200-day EMA around $2,436 holds, ETH could mount another push. If not, $2,300 opens up.

XRP slips as bulls retreat

XRP had its moment. The break above $2.20 last week sent it flying to $2.55. But momentum didn’t hold. It’s now down to $2.38, with buyers stepping back.

XRP Chart Analysis

  • RSI: 41, fading
  • MACD: No bullish signal
  • Resistance: $2.50, then $3.00
  • Support: $2.30, then $2.20

At this stage, a close below $2.30 would tilt the structure bearish. Bulls need volume to return fast.

The crypto rally is cooling. No panic yet, but momentum has shifted. BTC looks vulnerable if $100K fails. ETH has a cushion, but it’s thin. XRP is hanging by a thread under $2.40. Traders are watching RSI and volume closely.

No headlines. Just price. And right now, it’s not leaning bullish.
