In the year 2025, the realm of cryptocurrency bore witness to scattered triumphs among certain altcoins, yet a grand assembly of altcoin prosperity remained elusive. As per CoinMarketCap’s esteemed records, Bitcoin (BTC), that stalwart of the digital coin, did not transcend its annual nadir of dominance at 55.5%, achieved on the 5th of January, 2025. One might infer, with a chuckle, that traders, rather than forsaking BTC in a hasty dash to altcoins, chose to remain steadfast, much like a devoted spouse at a society ball.
Glassnode, in a recent missive upon X, declared that nearly all crypto sectors had languished beneath BTC’s performance over the past three months, a state of affairs that bespoke “a market environment where capital concentration favors BTC.” A most solemn affair indeed! 🤷♂️
Could these esteemed altcoins, in the year 2026, reclaim their lost glory? Let us peruse the charts of the top five altcoins to discern the matter.
A Most Intriguing Prediction Regarding Ether (ETH)
Ether, that ever-ardent suitor to BTC’s throne, pierced the $4,868 resistance in August, only to discover it was a bull trap of the most vexing sort. 🕳️
The Ether price has now descended below the 50-week simple moving average ($3,070), a most disheartening descent. Buyers, in their valiant attempts to rally, now face a phalanx of sellers at the 20-week exponential moving average ($3,454). A fortress, indeed!
Support lies at $2,623, but should this bastion crumble, the ETH/USDT pair may plummet to $2,111 and thence to $1,600. Buyers, one hopes, shall defend the $1,600 to $1,385 zone with the vigor of a lady defending her reputation. 💪
The first sign of strength, my dear reader, shall be a breach and close above the 20-week EMA. Should this occur, the bears may relinquish their grip, and the pair may ascend to $4,000, then to $4,956, and beyond to $9,030. A most glittering ascent! ✨
The Perilous Predicament of BNB (BNB)
BNB, that most balanced of coins, has lingered between moving averages, a testament to the equilibrium of supply and demand. 🧍♂️
Should the price breach below the 50-week SMA ($775), the bears shall triumph, and BNB may descend to the formidable support at $500. Buyers, take heart! The $400 to $500 zone shall be fiercely defended, as one might defend a cherished heirloom. 🛡️
History, that most fickle of guides, suggests that after a sharp fall, the price may consolidate, as seen from May 2022 to February 2024. If this pattern recurs, the BNB/USDT pair may range between $500 and $930 for a time, much like a gentleman pacing his garden in contemplation. 🌿
Contrarily, should the price ascend above the 20-week EMA, the bulls shall seize the reins, and the pair may climb to $1,182, then to the all-time high of $1,375. A most triumphant march! 🎉
XRP’s Delicate Dance
XRP, that sprightly coin, has been sliding toward the support at $1.61, where buyers are expected to intercede. A most delicate ballet! 🎭
A bounce from $1.61 shall face fierce selling at the 20-week EMA ($2.38). Should the price falter and plunge below $1.61, the XRP/USDT pair may descend to $1.25, then to the psychological support at $1. A most dispiriting waltz! 🎵
Alternatively, should the price ascend from the current level or $1.61 support and breach the 20-week EMA, the bearish momentum may wane, and the pair may ascend to $3, then to the grand range of $1.61 to $3.66. A close above $3.66 could catapult XRP to $5.19. A most exhilarating quadrille! 🕺
Solana’s Troubling Trajectory
Solana (SOL), that ambitious contender, has traded below the moving averages and may descend to the $95 support. A most somber promenade. 🕶️
Buyers shall defend $95 with the tenacity of a lady refusing to dance with a cad. Yet, the relief rally shall face sellers at the moving averages. Should the price falter, the bears shall attempt another descent below $95, possibly to $80 and thence to $50. A most tragic tale! 😢
Conversely, should Solana ascend and breach the moving averages, a range-bound action between $95 and $260 may ensue. A close above $260 could see the pair soar to $425. A most triumphant overture! 🎶
Dogecoin’s Desperate Gambit
Dogecoin (DOGE), that sprightly underdog, has descended to the bottom of the $0.13 to $0.29 range, where buyers may intervene. A most precarious position! 🐶
The moving averages slope downward, and the RSI resides in negative territory-a most dire tableau. Should the price sustain below $0.13, the DOGE/USDT pair may collapse to $0.09. A most harrowing descent! 🚪
Time, that fickle friend, grows short for the bulls. They must defend $0.13 with the fervor of a suitor vying for a lady’s hand. Should they succeed and push DOGE above the moving averages, consolidation may extend. The longer this state persists, the stronger the eventual breakout. A close above $0.29 could see the pair accelerate toward $0.48. A most hopeful finale! 🎉
