Bitcoin, Shiba Inu and XRP are all showing bullish momentum: BTC has reclaimed key EMAs and targets $125,000-$130,000 if it holds above support; SHIB has broken $0.000012 with volume but must maintain strength to avoid retracing; and XRP has reset its outlook by clearing all major EMAs with resistance ahead at $3.00-$3.20.
Bitcoin is back
A recent strong rally that drove the price of Bitcoin (BTC) to $116,800 has put the cryptocurrency back in the public eye and sparked speculation about a possible breakout toward the $130,000 mark. Exponential moving averages (EMAs), which are frequently a sign of increased volatility and decisive actions, are convergent toward the current price, and the recent surge coincides with rapidly aligning technical indicators.
Bitcoin has reclaimed the 100 and 200 EMAs on the four-hour chart, breaking above significant short-term resistance with robust bullish momentum. An impending breakout is indicated by the 20 EMA and 50 EMA aligning near the price level, which further narrows the range. As the market builds pressure before releasing into a new trend, this compression of moving averages usually occurs before explosive moves.
Growing buyer conviction is reflected in the spike in trading volume, which supports the breakout potential. Additionally, momentum indicators show growing strength, and the RSI is above 68 and is approaching overbought territory without exhibiting any overt signs of exhaustion just yet. Bulls continue to hold a firm grip on the market as long as Bitcoin consolidates above $115,000.
If Bitcoin sustains its momentum and breaks through the $118,000 resistance level, the trajectory toward $125,000-$130,000 becomes more feasible. Nevertheless, traders should continue to exercise caution. Even though the technical picture is in favor of bulls, short-term pullbacks could be caused by overextended conditions.
The breakout attempt could be deemed invalid, and sellers could be invited back to the market if the price fails to hold above $113,000. For the time being, it is evident where Bitcoin is headed: EMAs are convergent, volatility is increasing and the stage is set for a possible skyrocketing that could push the price closer to $130,000.
Shiba Inu momentum back
In the short term, Shiba Inu has recovered its momentum, breaking through the $0.000012 level and displaying a robust green candle that suggests fresh buyer interest. The action follows SHIB’s successful break through the 50 EMA on the four-hour chart, a crucial dynamic resistance level that had been limiting price action for the previous two weeks. This technical milestone raises the possibility of an impending breakout.
Volume has increased significantly during the most recent push, suggesting that the rally is supported by real participation rather than just low liquidity. With an RSI of 66, the market is getting close to overbought but still has some upside potential before showing signs of exhaustion.
SHIB’s next obstacle, which is located close to the 100 and 200 EMA levels and grouped around $0.0000125-$0.0000130, is the break above short-term resistance. Still, prudence is necessary. Even with the breakout, SHIB is still trading inside a larger descending structure, and unless higher highs are set, the long-term trend is still bearish.
If momentum is not maintained above $0.0000120, SHIB may retrace and return to support in the range of $0.0000114-$0.0000118. Recent on-chain data, indicating notable declines in exchange reserves — a bullish signal that lessens possible selling pressure — has also influenced market sentiment regarding Shiba Inu.
But as previous rallies have shown, SHIB is still susceptible to steep declines if buyers are unable to maintain pressure.
XRP breaking through
In a single move, XRP broke through several resistance levels on the four-hour chart, putting on one of its best technical performances in weeks. The descending trendline that had restrained the token’s price action since mid-September was bypassed, along with the 20 EMA, 50 EMA, 100 EMA and 200 EMA. A wider recovery was made possible by this single decisive breakout, which broke through almost all of the short-term obstacles in its path.
With its current price around $2.95, XRP has essentially reset its technical outlook. The emphasis now moves to higher time frames, where the next significant obstacle is located between $3.00 and $3.05, since there are no significant obstacles remaining on shorter time frames. With momentum, XRP may move toward the larger descending channel resistance near $3.20 if bulls are able to secure a close above that zone.
This spike occurs at the beginning of Uptober, which is known for producing significant gains on the cryptocurrency market. With both Bitcoin and altcoins achieving above-average returns in previous cycles, October has frequently signaled the start of fourth-quarter rallies. The combination of XRP’s strong breakout and the seasonal effect raises the possibility that market sentiment is shifting in favor of additional upside.
Additionally, volume spikes on the breakout point to real market activity as opposed to a feeble short squeeze. With the four-hour chart’s RSI at 66, it is getting close to being overbought, but not yet overheated, allowing for further short-term momentum.
XRP is now poised for a possible trend reversal after overcoming weeks of consolidation. In keeping with October’s bullish undertones, the asset’s renewed strength is demonstrated by a clean break of five resistances in a single move. XRP might be about to embark on its next phase of recovery if Uptober goes as history predicts.
