Key points:
Bitcoin is facing resistance at $90,500, but a positive sign is that the bulls have kept up the pressure.Several major altcoins are attempting to start a recovery, but are expected to face selling at higher levels.

BTC$88,706
below the $90,500 level, but the bulls continue to exert pressure. Fundstrat managing partner Tom Lee said on CNBC that cryptocurrencies should rise on a weaker dollar, but traders have responded by continuing to pile into gold and silver. Lee suggested that crypto is likely to catch up after the gold and silver rally takes a break.

Market intelligence platform Santiment said in a post on X that social media witnessed more discussions about silver and gold compared to cryptocurrencies on most days of this month. The analysts added that retail traders seem to be open to jumping sectors “based on wherever the latest pumps appear.”

However, a positive sign in favor of the bulls is that February has seen only three monthly losses since 2013 and a median rise of 12.21%, according to Coinglass data. If history repeats, BTC may rally in February.
Could buyers push BTC and the major altcoins above their resistance levels? Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
Bitcoin price prediction
BTC’s relief rally has reached the moving averages, where the bears are expected to pose a strong challenge.

If the price turns down from the moving averages, the BTC/USDT pair may drop to the $84,000 support. Buyers are expected to defend the $84,000 level with all their might, as a close below it may sink the Bitcoin price to $80,600 and eventually to the formidable support at $74,508.
On the upside, a break and close above the moving averages opens the gates for a rally to the $94,789 to $97,924 resistance zone. A close above the resistance zone signals that the corrective phase may be over.
Ether price prediction
Ether
ETH$2,995
re-entered the symmetrical triangle pattern on Tuesday, but the recovery is facing resistance at the moving averages.

If the price turns down sharply from the moving averages, the bears will attempt to pull the ETH/USDT pair below the $2,787 level. If they succeed, the Ether price might plunge to $2,623.
Conversely, a close above the moving averages suggests that the market has rejected the breakdown below the support line. That improves the prospects of a break above the resistance line. The pair may then march toward $3,659.
BNB price prediction
BNB
BNB$900.84
is attempting to rise above the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA)($897), indicating demand at lower levels.

The BNB/USDT pair might reach the $928 to $959 overhead resistance zone, where the bears are expected to mount a solid defense. If buyers overcome the zone, the BNB price may start a rally to $1,020.
Sellers will have to pull the price below the uptrend line to gain the upper hand. If they manage to do that, the pair might slide to the $790 support. The bulls are expected to vigorously defend the $790 level, as a close below it may resume the downtrend.
XRP price prediction
Buyers are attempting to push XRP
XRP$1.89
above the moving averages, but the bears have held their ground.

Sellers will attempt to pull the XRP price below the $1.77 level. If they can pull it off, the XRP/USDT pair may descend to the vital support at $1.61. Buyers are expected to fiercely defend the zone between the support line of the descending channel pattern and the $1.61 level.
If buyers push the price above the moving averages, the pair may reach the downtrend line. The bulls will have to achieve a close above the downtrend line to indicate the start of a new up move.
Solana price prediction
Solana
SOL$124.51
turned up from the $117 support on Monday, but the relief rally is likely to face selling at the moving averages.

If the price turns down from the moving averages, the bears will again attempt to sink the SOL/USDT pair below $117. If they manage to do that, the SOL price may tumble to solid support at $95.
Alternatively, a break above the moving averages opens the doors for a rally to the $147 overhead resistance. Buyers will have to clear the $147 level barrier to suggest that the corrective phase may be over.
Dogecoin price prediction
Dogecoin
DOGE$0.12
has bounced off the $0.12 support, but the relief rally is expected to face selling at the moving averages.

funding rates on Binance have been mirroring the behavior seen ahead of sharp price rebounds since 2024.

Key takeaways:

Crowded XRP shorts (negative funding) have preceded rebounds.

Holding $1.80–$2.00 and reclaiming $2.22 would keep the bullish case intact.

Negative funding led to short squeezes since late 2024
Binance funding rates stayed mostly negative over the past two months. That meant more leveraged traders bet on XRP price falling, and that they had to pay to keep their short positions open.

The bearish consensus among derivatives traders formed after a roughly 50% decline in XRP spot prices from its multiyear high of $3.66, established in July 2025. However, according to on-chain analyst Darkfost, this could hurt the bears in the coming weeks.

The analyst cited the period of persistent funding rates since 2024, each resulting in sharp price rebounds. That includes BTC’s 50% rise in August-September 2025 and over 100% gains in April-July 2025, as illustrated below.

“The accumulation of shorts does create short-term selling pressure, but it also builds latent buying pressure,” Darkfost wrote, adding:

“If the price starts to rise, these positions could be liquidated, fueling the upward move.”
XRP bulls must restore the $2 level as support
As of January, XRP had rebounded modestly after testing the lower trendline of its year-long sideways channel trend, aligning with the $1.80-$2.00 support area.

It was the same zone that se
rved as the launchpad for a 100% rally to $3.66 in April 2025.

$BNB sigue en fuerte tendencia alcista y está dando señales claras de querer romper nuevos niveles. Con un precio que se acerca rápidamente a los 690 USDT, muchos se preguntan si este será el siguiente techo a superar.
El crecimiento sostenido del ecosistema Binance y el entusiasmo del mercado están impulsando el valor del token, que no muestra señales de debilidad por ahora. Si el volumen de compra continúa, alcanzar los 690 podría ser cuestión de poco tiempo.
Como siempre, es importante monitorear el mercado y actuar con precaució
