Compared to its rivals, XRP underperforms among the top 10 cryptocurrencies with the least price volatility. The asset has been on the decline for the past few weeks, failing to break through regional resistance levels. Despite bulls trying to buck the trend, XRP is still unable to move higher, leaving investors concerned that the decline could be prolonged.
At the moment, the technical outlook for XRP is not good. The 200 EMA is currently a strong resistance barrier and has been the asset's biggest obstacle to breaking out of important levels many times. Unless XRP breaks above this important moving average, it is unlikely to enter a more sustained recovery.

The declining volume pattern, which indicates waning interest from traders and investors, further highlights XRP's poor performance. Moreover, the general market sentiment is not in favor of XRP as other top 10 assets are showing signs of recovery or growth while XRP is lagging.
This is the only chance for XRP to break above the 200 EMA. If this level is successfully pushed up, buying interest could increase and the asset could begin a much-awaited reversal. However, until that happens, XRP remains vulnerable to further declines, with support levels below $0.50 providing temporary stability.
Bitcoin revival
Bitcoin has successfully broken through the key resistance level at $67,000, marking one of the biggest breakouts of 2024. This breakout could lead to significant price increases across the crypto market, indicating a major change in market sentiment. This breakout signals that Bitcoin has broken out of the long-term downtrend line that has dominated the price since March 2024.
This uptrend is very significant as Bitcoin currently appears to be well-positioned to reach new heights with $70,000 acting as the next major psychological barrier. If the bullish trend continues, Bitcoin could target $75,000. At that price, more traders and institutional investors may enter the market, which could cause the price to rise further. Looking beyond that, the ultimate goal for many investors is for Bitcoin to reach an all-time high of nearly $69,000 in 2021.
The market is cautious, but if Bitcoin maintains its momentum and rises above key support zones, this breakout could reignite hopes of reaching that level. The nearest immediate support is at $65,900, and if Bitcoin can sustain above this level, it will further increase the chances of a more bullish move.
All things considered, Bitcoin's breakout is a sign of much-needed optimism in the market. If volume continues to increase, we could see further price target increases, potentially pushing the stock above all-time highs and setting new records in the coming months.
Solana is looking at $200
Solana has recently surged above the $165 price level, and many are wondering if $200 could be the next significant target. The strength Solana is showing is reminiscent of the bull market after breaking through several resistance levels, including the $160 level.
Market spirit and SOL's ability to hold above important moving averages such as the 50, 100, and 200 EMAs are supporting the current uptrend. However, in the short term, there are certain concerns that could limit upside. Notably, $88 million worth of SOL tokens are expected to be unlocked in the coming days. The increased selling pressure brought about by this injection of liquidity into the market could cause Solana's impressive rally to stall or slow.

The market's reaction to this event and its timing will be key factors in determining SOL's near-term performance. On the plus side, if Solana is able to maintain its momentum and withstand any possible selling pressure from the unlock event, $180 is the next psychological barrier for bulls to overcome. $200 is an important target that could become achievable if bullish market sentiment and heavy volumes continue.
The $150 and $140 levels, which have historically served as support, will be used by traders as a safety net against the downside. Solana's ability to sustain above these levels despite possible obstacles would indicate that the upward trend remains strong.
