- Technical Outlook on Altcoins: Ethereum and XRP Momentum Slowdown: Ethereum's price is stabilizing near the upper boundary of the range, with resistance at $2200. Although its short-term outlook remains slightly positive, the leading altcoin is trading below the (EMAs) for 50 days, 100 days, and 200 days, which are clustered between $2290 and $2927. Meanwhile, the MACD indicator remains above the signal line on the daily chart, while the green histogram bars are expanding, reinforcing the bullish trend. The (RSI) at 52 on the same chart indicates a shift in momentum from neutral to slightly bullish, coinciding with Ethereum's price rising from its lowest point on Saturday at $1835. Daily ETH/USDT Chart Initial support appears near the daily low at $2093, protecting the most important weekly opening level at $1940. A break below $1940 would expose the next demand zone at $1835, which was Saturday's low. On the bullish side, if buyers push above the immediate resistance at $2200, Ethereum will face the 50-day exponential moving average at $2290, and subsequently, the 100-day EMA at $2629. As for XRP, its overall trend remains slightly bullish, with support at $1.41. Despite the steady rise from Saturday's low at $1.27, the 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs, located between $1.57 and $2.02, seem to limit any potential rebounds. The (RSI) is at 49, slightly below the neutral level on the daily chart, indicating a slowdown in bearish momentum. If the RSI crosses above the midline at 50, the bullish trend could continue, increasing the likelihood of breaking through the 50-day EMA at $1.57. The MACD remains above the signal line, with the green histogram bars gradually expanding on the same chart, also suggesting a potential bullish reversal. Daily XRP/USDT Chart An initial resistance level is near $1.47, aligning with Thursday's high. The 50-day EMA at $1.57 is a stronger barrier that may limit XRP's price. On the downside, immediate support is around $1.41, the daily low; a break below this level could reveal the next bearish target near $1.35. $ETH ‌ $XRP ‌

- The United States escalates strikes against Iran amid stable risk assets: Reports indicate that the U.S. has sunk more than 20 Iranian ships in international waters of the Indian Ocean, while Israel intensifies its attacks on Tehran, the capital of Iran. Meanwhile, Iran is expanding the scope of the war in the Middle East, launching attacks on key facilities in the Gulf region, including oil facilities and transportation hubs. Tensions remain high in global markets, with Brent crude prices staying above $80. Continued disruptions to major shipping routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz, could lead to higher oil prices, increasing the likelihood of rising inflation and significantly reducing the chances of interest rate cuts in 2026. Despite the escalation of the war, cryptocurrencies have not collapsed. Bitcoin's price has risen more than 15% from its lowest point on Saturday at $63,030. Ethereum and Ripple appear to be maintaining most of the gains they made this week. Despite ongoing extreme fear, the index improved to 22 on Thursday, up from 10 the previous day. The steady increase in this indicator suggests that investors are regaining confidence in digital assets despite the war. Fear and Greed Index | Source: Alternative $BTC ‌ $ETH ‌ $XRP ‌
