On May 20, Bitcoin (BTC) made a rapid recovery, although its price remains confined within a certain range. Usually, traders unload their assets when prices approach the highest resistance level, however, Bitcoin's spot ETFs are still experiencing an influx of buy orders. According to data from Farside Investor, May 20 and 21 saw inflows of $500 million into Bitcoin's spot ETFs. Despite this, numerous analysts express anxiety about the short-term trajectory of Bitcoin's prices. Creator of the Bollinger Bands, John Bollinger, notified his followers that current data hints at a possible consolidation or decline in Bitcoin prices in the short term. Similarly, Material Indicators, a trading data site, warned of a substantial negative signal from one of its trading instruments that would invalidate prices exceeding $71,500.
Bitcoin's next moves are being keenly observed, and Ether is drawing increased attention due to potential approval for spot Ether ETFs in the United States. An approval can substantially lift sentiment within the crypto sector, leading to spikes in prices of some altcoins.
When we examine the top 10 cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin cleared the $68,000 level on May 20, but subsequent price surges towards the highest resistance at $73,777 were unsuccessful. Nevertheless, bullish attempts to maintain Bitcoin prices above $70,000, a key psychological benchmark, can be observed. If successful, the Bitcoin pair could head towards the $73,777 level. Victories for the bulls might see price rallies up to $80,000, with an extension to $84,000 thereafter.
Ether, conversely, dove headfirst over the resistance line of its descending channel pattern on May 20, indicating a change in prevailing trends. Further advances by the bulls have seen Ether prices climb above $3,730. Maintaining prices above this level indicates that resistance from the bears has subsided, which could propel Ether towards $4,100, and possibly $4,868 if resistance levels are beaten.
BNB surged past the resistance line from the symmetric triangle pattern support line on May 20, predicting positive outcomes for the bulls. However, a potential stumbling block is the harsh resistance at $635 on May 21. Overcoming this level could pave the way for a rally to $692.
Solana managed to break $185 resistance on May 20, but failed to sustain these higher prices, falling back below $185 on May 21. Still, the upward trend of the 20-day EMA and RSI's position in the positive zone suggest an upward path of least resistance.
While attempting to push XRP to the overhead resistance at $0.57 on May 21, the bulls experienced strong sell-offs. Toncoin, meanwhile, failed to sustain its bounce off the moving averages on May 20.
Dogecoin has seen a fierce struggle for dominance between bulls and bears at the $0.17 level, while Cardano rose sharply above the 50-day SMA on May 20, but failed to clear the $0.52 hurdle. On the other hand, Avalanche rose from the 20-day EMA on May 20 and broke the $40 resistance the next day.
Finally, Shiba Inu surged past the resistance line of its symmetrical triangle pattern on May 20, but sustained momentum has proven elusive for the bulls. This news does not constitute investment advice. Investments come with risks and decisions should be based on individual research and judgment.
