Ethereum Retests $2,700

Ethereum surged above a key resistance level on Wednesday morning as most of the crypto market soared. The cryptocurrency rallied 3.1% toward the $2,700 horizontal level, hitting the $2,722 mark before retracing to $2,710.

Over the past week, ETH hovered between the $2,430-$2,650 range after failing to hold its support. This performance worried many investors and market watchers, who have heavily criticized the crypto’s price action throughout the year.

However, today’s jump represents a 5.6% increase in the weekly timeframe, which sparked a bullish sentiment among the community. Crypto trader CRG noted that Ethereum is testing a support level in its trading pair against Bitcoin (BTC) in a higher timeframe (HTF).

Per the chart, ETH/BTC is retesting an HTF support at the 0.0377 level. The 0.023-0.040 zone was a crucial area between 2020 and 2021, with ETH’s all-time high rally starting after breaking above the upper line of this range.

The trader suggested that Ethereum’s surge would be short-lived as the “King of Altcoins�has had a “disappointing�performance despite the spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETF) approval. “ETH is like the toxic ex-gf that keeps you going back,�he jokingly stated.

Similarly, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe remarked that it’s time to be bullish on ETH, suggesting that there’s a “massive bullish divergence�in the one-day timeframe of the ETH/BTC chart, while it was “popping up�in the three-day timeframe. Van de Poppe pointed out that the 0.051 area is the crucial zone for a trend reversal.

ETH To Hit $3,000 In Two Weeks?

Various crypto analysts have set the $2,800 resistance level as the next crucial zone if Ethereum successfully reclaims the $2,700 mark. Analyst Crypto Yapper pointed out that ETH has registered five consecutive green daily candles since bouncing from last week’s lows.

To the analyst, if ETH breaks above the $2,800 horizontal level, the cryptocurrency will rally toward the $3,000 resistance level and potentially kickstart the altcoin season.

Similarly, van de Poppe suggested that Ethereum will break above the crucial horizontal level in the next two weeks, as it took the liquidity at the $2,450 level and “ran back up to resistance.�According to the analyst, this could propel ETH’s price to $3,000 in November.

ETH has been rejected from the $2,700 resistance level, hovering between the $2,680-$2,690 price range for the past hour. As of this writing, the cryptocurrency trades at $2,693, a 1.4% and 3.3% increase in the daily and monthly timeframes.

Nonetheless, it’s worth noting that the crypto market might continue facing high volatility over the next few days as speculation increases ahead of the US presidential elections.

Neiro Sees 10% Weekly Correction

Neiro made the headlines three months ago after becoming an overnight sensation on the Ethereum Network. The memecoin was inspired by the newly adopted sister of Dogecoin’s inspiration, Kabosu.

The cryptocurrency has registered a remarkable performance during October, jumping 30% month-to-date (MTD). Moreover, the token saw an impressive rally towards its all-time high (ATH) price of $0.0022 two weeks ago, surging 4,600% in 30 days.

The memecoin’s bullish momentum also propelled its market capitalization (MC) near the $1 billion mark, reaching a $935 million MC on October 15, which fueled a bullish sentiment among market watchers.

However, Neiro’s price has declined since its most recent rally, trading 31.5% below its ATH. The Shiba Inu-themed memecoin registers a 10.3% drop in the past week, hovering between the $0.00132-$0.00170 price range.

Despite the price drop, analysts and investors remain positive above the cryptocurrency. Crypto Tony noted that the memecoin is another token that looks “really good�since the beginning of its bullish momentum in mid-September.

The analyst pointed out Neiro’s potential, suggesting that a small pullback from its recent levels could be a good entry point for investors ahead of an upcoming rally.

Is $0.0020 Or $0.0010 Next?

Since its all-time high, the cryptocurrency’s chart has displayed a downtrend, forming a broadening wedge pattern in the lower time frame, according to trader CryptoBull360. The market watcher noted that a successful breakout above the upper trendline could trigger a 25%-30% bullish rally for the token.

Another trader suggested Neiro’s “situation on the chart is messy.�The trader stated that the token needed to break above the $0.00165 mark to continue its bullish trajectory and recover its ATH levels.

However, if Neiro is rejected instead, the token could see a 30% correction toward the $0.0010 support zone. The $0.00165-$0.00170 price range represented an important consolidation zone ahead of the token’s surge toward its ATH.

On Monday morning, Neiro’s price jumped 13.3% toward the $0.00170 resistance level. The token moved above the pattern’s upper trendline, signaling a breakout from its biweekly downtrend.

Nonetheless, the token couldn’t hold above the key resistance level and pulled back toward the $0.00154 support zone. Crypto analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems suggested that the memecoin’s recent performance has been better than expected.

 After “a longer manipulation�and reclaiming the $0.00150 level over the weekend, the analyst believes Neiro is ready to move toward higher resistance levels, potentially targeting the crucial $0.0020 mark again.

As of this writing, Neiro is trading at $0.00151, a 4% drop in the daily timeframe.

Bitcoin To Face Another Shakeout Soon

This ‘Uptober,�Bitcoin has recorded a 12% surge from its opening price, jumping from the $60,000 support level and reclaiming key resistance zones. In the last two weeks, BTC recovered 14% from the early October shakeouts, nearing a retest of the long-awaited $70,000 mark.

The cryptocurrency faced major resistance after surging above the $69,000 zone, a level not seen since late July. After the unsuccessful retest, Bitcoin’s price faced a 5.3% pullback toward the $65,000-$66,000 range, failing to reclaim the $67,000 mark until Thursday.

Based on BTC’s recent performance, some analysts consider that the flagship crypto is poised to face another correction in the coming weeks. Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa revealed he is unsure about where Bitcoin’s “extremely chippy conditions�are headed in the short term.

Sherpa shared that the cryptocurrency could see one last shakeout “sometime in November.�He suggested  BTC could face another pullback toward the $62,000-$64,000 price range around the time of the US Presidential elections, scheduled for November 5.

However, the analyst believes that Bitcoin will continue its bullish rally after the shakeout. Another market watcher also forecasted another correction for BTC’s near future.

Analyst Crypto King stated that BTC is set to close above $70,000 this week before facing rejection from the key level. Following the rejection, Bitcoin would retrace 8% toward $64,000-$65,000, which could propel altcoins to “start moving 5-6x from the current position,�according to the analyst.

Is BTC Set For A Green Weekly Close?

Despite the rainy forecast, other investors remain bullish on the flagship crypto. Crypto analyst Moustache set the $67,000-$68,000 range as “insanely important support levels.�To the analyst, if BTC’s price holds its support there, it will hit $70,000 soon.

After Bitcoin jumped above the $68,000 resistance on Friday morning, Crypto Yapper noted that BTC broke out of a weekly bull flag and was “ready for an exponential move.” The analyst also asserted that the next horizontal level to break before the $70,000 test is $69,000.

Nonetheless, he stated that Bitcoin should make a higher high to remain bullish. Similarly, Rekt Capital pointed out that BTC’s old downtrend line is supporting, which serves as post-breakout confirmation.

Per the post, the cryptocurrency would record a bullish weekly close above the $66,300 mark. The analyst also highlighted that if BTC closes above the $67,900 zone, It will register a “very bullish weekly close�ahead of October’s last week.

At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $67,737, a mild 0.3% increase in the daily timeframe.

MEW Hits Major Milestones

Cat in a dogs world registered a significant 18.4% surge in the last 24 hours, propelling to a new ATH twice this morning. The cryptocurrency recorded its fifth ATH in the past two weeks, increasing over 95.2% and taking the memecoin sector by storm.

After its surge to $0.01127, the cryptocurrency hit the long-awaited $1 billion mark, becoming the second cat-themed token to achieve this feat. As a result, MEW flipped Base Network’s token Brett as the tenth largest memecoin by this metric.

MEW initially joined the memecoin’s top ten list back in Q2, ranking 8th among the dog-themed pack. It significantly retraced as POPCAT’s popularity grew, registering a 60% correction after leading the cat-themed sector during Q1.

Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency has been on an uptrend for the past month after hovering between the $0.004-$0.006 price range during most of Q3. MEW’s rally this week seems to be fueled by the token’s listing on the Korean crypto exchange Upbit.

Market watcher Crypto General noted the memecoin’s recent performance, revealing its next target for MEW. The analyst highlighted that the cryptocurrency has been “in a consistent uptrend from its launch, showing great strength and potential.�/p>

Crypto General expects parabolic surges in the coming days, suggesting that the cryptocurrency will target the $0.045 range for its price discovery period. As of this writing, MEW traders at $0.0112, 1.1% below its ATH.

 Has The Cat Season Arrived?

Many crypto analysts have previously suggested that a cat-themed memecoin season was coming. Solana’s feline leader, POPCAT, recorded a new ATH on Thursday after hitting the $1.67 mark.

The memecoin has registered an 82% growth in the last thirty days, becoming the first cat-themed token to achieve the $1 Billion market cap milestone a month ago. Alongside MEW and POPCAT’s remarkable rally, other cat-inspired memecoins have seen a notable performance over the past week.

BNB Chain-based token Simon’s Cat (CAT) recorded a massive surge in the past week, nearing its all-time high price on Wednesday. CAT’s price skyrocketed 80.4% in the last three days following its Future Listing on the crypto exchange Binance.

The price jumped from the $0.0000245 level to the $0.0000442 mark, trading just 5% below its $0.0000462 ATH registered over a month ago. Despite being down 5.1% from yesterday’s surge, CAT still registers a 53% weekly increase.

Crypto Trader Bluntz stated that the “cat season is truly underway�as the whole sector soars over 8%, according to CoinGecko data.

SUI Loses Key Support Zone

SUI has been on a downtrend this week, losing the recently gained levels alongside most of the market. The cryptocurrency saw a 5.3% drop in the last 24 hours, which has worried some investors and crypto analysts.

The token registered one of the best performances during Q3, leading the market as one of the few altcoins registering green numbers in most timeframes. SUI started the month by recording a 15% weekly surge, which fueled its rally toward its new all-time high (ATH).

Additionally, the token jumped 25% from its monthly opening, shooting past the $2 barrier to reach a new ETH of $2.35. However, its bullish rally was overshadowed by insider selling allegations on October 13.

Market expert LightCrypto alleged that SUI’s performance would be affected by insiders�continuous selling, who had unloaded $400 million in SUI tokens.

Following the allegations, the cryptocurrency faced a 15% daily correction but remained above the crucial $2 support level. Since then, the cryptocurrency has moved sideways, hovering between the $2-$2.15 price range until today.

On Tuesday morning, SUI lost the $2 support, plunging 6.5% toward the $1.87 mark before recovering the $1.90 zone. The token’s dip represented a 13% decline from its price seven days ago and an 18.4% drop from its ATH.

Is A 30% Pullback Looming?

Following SUI’s recent price action, some crypto analysts revealed that another pullback seems to be looming. Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa weighed in on the markets�current performance, as it slowed down after Bitcoin’s surge to $69,000 on Sunday.

Sherpa considers the market’s rally momentarily paused, highlighting that “most alts are either pulling back or consolidating.�To him, the tokens that recorded a strong run in September, including Bittensor (TAO) and SUI, have “a bit more pullback to go�before resuming their rally.

The analyst forecasted a 25% to 30% correction toward the $1.4 support zone or lower, detailing that there will probably be “plenty of bounces�along the way. Similarly, crypto investor Doji noted that the cryptocurrency broke “a massive 1-month stricture to the downside.�/p>

The investor revealed that the token dropped below the lower trendline of a broadening wedge pattern on its 1-month chart. Doji suggested that SUI will retest the pattern before dropping lower toward the lower liquidity spot at $1.4. Nonetheless, he expects “to see the middle of the macro range at some point.�/p>

Despite the drop, SUI registers a 30.7% surge in the monthly timeframe, trading at $1.92 at the time of writing.

Fantom Breaks Out Of Downtrend

As Sunday ended, Fantom’s price jumped 8.2% toward a crucial resistance level not seen in four months. The cryptocurrency neared the $0.8 mark for the second time in the last seven days, fueling a bullish sentiment among investors.

FTM has registered a 46.6% increase in the past three months, recovering from Q3’s market crashes and challenging June’s price action. June’s horizontal resistance marks the first crucial level for the cryptocurrency, as it was a strong support area during Q1 and Q2.

Moreover, Fantom has been on a 7-month downtrend since its yearly high of $0.97, currently sitting 23% below it. Market analyst AMCrypto suggested that the cryptocurrency’s downtrend “is now over.�/p>

The analyst noted that the token broke above the trendline after surging above the $0.74 resistance level and testing it as support over the last week. However, he highlighted the similarities between FTM’s chart today and before Q1’s rally.

Fantom rose two times to the upper range of its accumulation zone and retraced before its run toward its yearly high. To AMCrypto, FTM could see a final correction toward the $0.70-$0.72 range before rallying 35% toward �1 and above.�/p>

Similarly, crypto investor Rager commented on FTM’s chart strength. To the investor, the token “gives the Solana 2023 pump-like vibes,�suggesting it will “play catch up for the major chains over the next three months.�/p>

FTM’s Price Targets $3

Analyst Altcoin Sherpa shared his thoughts on the token’s future performance. Sherpa considers that Fantom will continue “to grind higher�if Bitcoin’s price remains stable.

BTC’s movements have affected FTM’s price, losing support losing its support whenever the flagship crypto drops. However, Fantom has managed to hold above the recently reclaimed $0.74 mark as Bitcoin dropped 2.2% to the $67,000 support zone on Monday morning.

The cryptocurrency must regain the $0.75 mark to continue building on its bullish momentum and reclaim the $0.8 resistance. Turning this level into support targets a potential rise above $3.

Meanwhile, other market watchers suggested that FTM will hit a new ATH before its token migration. As reported by NewsBTC, Fantom is set to transition to the Sonic Network between November and December of this year.

The transition will see FTM migrating to Sonic’s native token, S, offering a 1:1 conversion ratio for FTM holders. The new cryptocurrency will have a 3.175 billion token supply like Fantom but will mint an additional 190.5 million tokens, worth 6% of the supply, six months after its launch.

Fantom trades at $0.746, a 0.4% surge in the daily timeframe at the time of writing.

Popcat Retest $1.4 Resistance Level

Memecoin sensation Popcat has been one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies over the past three months. Despite the market retraces, the token outperformed most cryptocurrencies, becoming the first cat-themed memecoin to achieve a $1 billion market capitalization.

In the last 30 days, Popcat has seen a 108% surge, hitting three new ATHs since breaking the $1 barrier. After reaching its latest ATH of $1.56 a week ago, the cryptocurrency has been on a 7-day downtrend.

The memecoin unsuccessfully attempted to break above the trendline earlier this week, facing a correction toward the $1.2 support level. Popcat bounced 16.6% from this zone on Thursday, propelling the token’s surge toward the $1.3 resistance level.

On the last day, the cryptocurrency retested the trendline twice after surpassing the $1.4 mark. A successful reclaim of this zone could propel the price toward a new ATH.

A market watcher considers that if Bitcoin’s price holds, Popcat should successfully break this level by next week. It’s worth noting that the cat-themed token followed BTC’s lead on Friday morning, surging 2.4% as the flagship cryptocurrency neared the $69,000 mark.

Is A Correction Looming?

Crypto analyst Sanchez noted that the memecoin’s price was “running flat�in the four-chart on Friday morning. To the analyst, the cat-themed token’s performance “looked good�for another leg up but suggested the possibility of another correction ahead of the breakout.

Ideally, we get a good reaction around ~1.29 to make the C more complete, and the cat starts popping again

A drop from the $1.3 mark could send Popcat’s price toward the $1.1-$1.0 mark. Trader Crypto Tony suggested that the cryptocurrency could see a retest of the monthly opening of around $1.01 in case of a rejection.

Despite the correction forecast, the memecoin has seen a 7% increase in the last 24 hours, trading 8.7% below its ATH. Popcat reclaimed the $1.3 mark and is attempting to confirm the breakout and regain the $1.4 resistance level.

Analyst CryptoGodJohn stated that the cryptocurrency “looks like it wants new ATHs and beyond this weekend�following its recent performance. Additionally, crypto trader Bluntz noted that Popcat’s price could achieve a 30% surge toward a new all-time high.

To Bluntz, a rise toward the $1.7 mark might be coming short-term after “getting real close to a biddable level�this week, but “would like to see one more sweep.�/p>

As of this writing, Popcat trades at $1.41, an 8.3% surge in the weekly timeframe.

Ethereum Getting Ready To Challenge BTC

This week, Ethereum has successfully reclaimed the $2,500 support zone following the market’s recent performance. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has seen an 8.6% increase in the last seven days, moving from the $2,300-$2,400 range to the $2,600 mark.

In the last 24 hours, ETH has retested the $2,600 resistance level, currently holding it as support as it attempts to reclaim the $2,700 price range. This zone is the next crucial level, as the cryptocurrency hasn’t successfully broken above it in nearly three months.

Market analyst CryptoWolf pointed out that Ethereum has been rejected from the local top around this level twice since August’s market crash, making it the next big resistance to break.

However, once the zone is cleared, ETH’s price is “heading straight to the 3500s�since the analyst considers that the $3,000 mark “won’t stand a chance.�Similarly, crypto analyst Alex Clay suggested that the King of Altcoins is about to “catch up on BTC�and rise toward $3,500.

To the analyst, Ethereum completed its local accumulation within the $2,100-$2,700 range, and “it’s ready to switch the short-term trend for the bullish.�Other market watchers also suggested that the market is near the bottom after the sideway moves, based on the ETH/BTC chart.

Tony Research stated that the chart “suggests that altcoins are currently cheap relative to Bitcoin. An increase in this chart will positively affect altcoins and their prices.�As the investor pointed out, altcoins could see significant growth during Q1 2025 since Q4s have historically been Bitcoin’s best time to grow.

ETH Attempts Breakout From Bullish Pattern

Analyst Crypto Yapper noted that Ethereum is trying to break from its consolidating formation. The cryptocurrency has been within a three-month symmetrical triangle pattern, and it attempted to break above the upper trendline on Tuesday.

Yesterday, ETH rose momentarily above the trendline after hitting $2,688 but quickly retraced to $2,550. Ethereum tried another breakout from the symmetrical triangle upper trendline on Wednesday, surging above $2,630 before settling around the $2,600 support zone.

To the analyst, Ethereum will target the $2,900 mark next if it breaks out of this formation. Recovering this level could propel ETH’s price to its March highs, as the $2,900-$3,000 price range was a key support zone during the rally’s first leg.

Meanwhile, season trader Peter Brandt recently highlighted an inverted Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern on ETH’s chart. The trader signaled that an H&S bottom is forming, also suggesting a massive breakout might be imminent.

As of this writing, ETH is trading at $2,612, a 1% increase in the daily timeframe.

Polkadot Breaks Out Of Falling Wedge Pattern

Polkadot has registered a 10.9% increase in the last week following the market’s performance. DOT jumped from the $4.32 support zone to the $4.53 mark before retracing, registering a 4.8% daily surge in the early hours of Tuesday.

The cryptocurrency also saw a 56% rise in market activity, recording a $259.3 million daily trading volume. This increase has made DOT retest the upper trendline of a falling wedge pattern.

Market analyst CryptoBull360 stated that Polkadot is “getting ready for a massive breakout�from the bullish pattern after a long consolidation period. DOT has been moving within the falling wedge for the past seven months, consolidating between $4-$4.8 since August’s Black Monday.

The analyst noted that the token had a strong bounce from the Point of Control (PoC) value zone, surging 11% in the last three days. Today’s jump saw the token break above the pattern’s upper trendline, momentarily sitting above it.

CryptoBull360 expects a retest of March highs if the token successfully breaks out of the falling wedge. To him, a 160% surge for the midterm is imminent, which would target the $11.46 yearly high.

Is DOT Preparing To Reclaim $20?

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggested that Polkadot could “be following Fantom’s footsteps.�Per the post, DOT’s chart looks similar to Fantom’s before its March performance.

Ahead of the Q1 rally, FTM rose two times to the upper range of its accumulation zone and retraced before its 263% bullish run toward its yearly high. If Polkadot were to follow, and its current pattern holds, DOT’s price could rise to $9.7 in Q4.

Following the surge, the cryptocurrency would face a pullback to the $6.5-$6.7 support zone before skyrocketing to $20 by Q1 2025, a level not seen since April 2022.

Despite the bullish forecasts, some investors remain cautious about Polkadot. A crypto trader noted that DOT followed Bitcoin’s lead like most of the market. The cryptocurrency surged to its daily high of $4.53 as BTC retested the $67,000 resistance level.

However, DOT quickly fell to Monday’s levels as BTC was rejected from its resistance zone. The trader questioned DOT’s 24-hour trend, stating, “BTC stops pumping, DOT rises a few percent, while most things don’t rise, as soon as it gets going, the entire market falls and DOT immediately loses everything it had previously gained.â€?/p>

As of this writing, DOT is trading at $4.42, a 2.2% increase in the daily timeframe.

Bitcoin Reclaims Key Support Levels

Bitcoin began the week reclaiming key resistance levels after a 6% surge from Sunday’s price. This performance saw BTC move from the $62,000 support zone to retest the $66,000 support area on Monday morning.

Following the recent performance, Bitcoin’s October returns so far have turned green with a 3.17% monthly return, according to Coinglass data. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital highlighted Bitcoin’s recent movements, noting that BTC has been able to reclaim a 2-month downtrend as support.

Per the analyst, the flagship cryptocurrency has retested a downtrend line dating back to late July since October started. BTC successfully retested and bounced from the trendline for two consecutive weeks, turning the range into support.

Additionally, the analyst pointed out that Bitcoin has performed several successful retests, including a “volatile retest�of the 21-week Bull Market Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

“Notice how the bottom of the green boxed area is confluent with the July Downtrend retest and the retest of the 21-week EMA is confluent with the top of the green box,” the analyst added.

Similarly, Ali Martinez highlighted that BTC is currently making another attempt to reclaim the 200-day Moving Average after four consecutive rejections in the past two months.

BTC Challenges August Highs

Rekt Capital noted that BTC has solidified the $58,000-$61,000 range as a support area throughout the year: “It has done so at a Higher Low compared to last month’s downside wicking lows as well as August’s downside wicking lows.â€?/p>

Moreover, the analyst stated that Bitcoin challenged August highs, at around $64,200, after the recent retests of the key levels. He suggested that BTC’s recent movements are a “clear sign�that August’s level is “weakening as resistance.�/p>

Rekt Capital pointed out BTC is retesting the multi-month weekly downtrend channel top, which is also weakening as resistance. The flagship cryptocurrency successfully tested the channel’s range lows as support this month.

The range lows have been 7-month confluent support with the previous all-time high (ATH) area. Nonetheless, the analyst noted that BTC must have a weekly close above the downtrend channel’s top to break out of this pattern.

A weekly close above August highs, followed by a successful retest of this level, would “pose a significant buy-side pressure on the Downtrending Channel Top,�which could be accelerated if BTC’s daily close sits above $64,200.

Moreover, a daily close above $65,000 and a successful reclaim of the range as a support zone could send BTC’s price toward the $70,000 resistance zone. The analyst noted that whenever Bitcoin closed the day above this level, the cryptocurrency moved within the $65,000-$71,350 range in the following days.

As of this writing, BTC is trading at $65,812, a 4% and 10.3% surge in the weekly and monthly timeframes.
