Bitcoin Dip Impacts Altcoins: Market Analysis
Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below the crucial $100,000 support level on Sunday, following news of US action against Iranian nuclear facilities. Trader Cas Abbe predicted a potential dip to the $93,000-$94,000 range before a possible reversal. This downturn significantly impacted several major altcoins, including ETH, XRP, SOL, and HYPE, pushing them below their respective support levels.
Key Market Observations
- Bitcoin's decline: BTC broke below $100,000, triggering a broader market correction.
- Altcoin weakness: ETH, XRP, SOL, and HYPE all experienced price drops, reflecting negative market sentiment.
- Long-term bullish outlook: Despite the current dip, some analysts maintain a positive long-term outlook for Bitcoin, drawing parallels to the 2017 cycle.

Bitcoin Price Prediction
Bitcoin's price broke below both the 50-day simple moving average ($104,788) and the $100,000 support. The moving averages are nearing a bearish crossover, and the RSI is negative, indicating bearish dominance. Sustained prices below $100,000 could intensify selling, potentially pushing BTC/USDT to $93,000. A rebound above the 20-day exponential moving average ($104,616) is crucial for preventing further downside.
Ether (ETH) Price Prediction
ETH fell below its 20-day EMA ($2,487) and 50-day SMA ($2,481). Breaking below the $2,323 support level increased selling pressure, pushing the price towards the $2,111 support. A break below $2,111 could lead to a drop to $1,754. A recovery requires a push above the 20-day EMA.
XRP Price Prediction
XRP's price range between $2 and $2.65 broke to the downside. A sustained break below $2 could send XRP/USDT to $1.61, with further downside risk to $1.28 if that level fails. A move above $2 is crucial to prevent a deeper correction.
Solana (SOL) Price Prediction
SOL completed a bearish head and shoulders pattern, breaking below $140 support. A recovery attempt might face resistance at the 20-day EMA ($148). A break below $140 could lead to a decline towards $110 and potentially the pattern target of $93. Sustained prices above the 20-day EMA would signal stronger buying pressure.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) Price Prediction
HYPE experienced a sharp correction after failing to stay above $42.50. The 50-day SMA ($32.26) provided temporary support, but further downside towards $28.50 is possible if it breaks. A recovery requires a move above the 20-day EMA and sustained prices above the 50-day SMA.
