Key points:
-
Bitcoin has reached a crucial overhead resistance, where the bears are expected to mount a strong defense.
-
Several major altcoins are attempting a recovery, which is likely to be met with selling pressure at higher levels.
Bitcoin (BTC) recovered above $93,000 on Friday, but the bulls are struggling to sustain the higher levels. BTC remains on target to end November in the red. According to CoinGlass data, every time BTC closed November in the red, it was followed by a negative monthly close in December.
Select analysts view the current dip as a buying opportunity. LVRG research director Nick Ruck told Cointelegraph that the recent fall has wiped out overleveraged participants and unsustainable projects, paving the way for new long-term investors to buy “ahead of a promising new year.”

What are the crucial resistance levels to watch out for in BTC and major altcoins? Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
Bitcoin price prediction
BTC’s recovery has reached near the 20-day exponential moving average ($93,256), where the bulls are expected to face significant resistance from the bears.
BTC/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewIf the price turns down sharply from the 20-day EMA, the bears will make one more attempt to tug the BTC/USDT pair below the $84,000 to $80,600 support zone. If they can pull it off, the Bitcoin price may slump to $73,777.
Instead, if bulls do not cede much ground to the bears from the 20-day EMA, it suggests that the buyers are holding on to their positions. That increases the likelihood of a break above the 20-day EMA. The pair could then soar toward the psychological level of $100,000.
Ether price prediction
Ether (ETH) has reached the 20-day EMA ($3,109), which is likely to attract strong selling by the bears.
ETH/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewIf the price turns down sharply from the 20-day EMA, the ETH/USDT pair could decline to $2,623. Buyers are expected to fiercely defend the $2,623 support, as a break below it may sink the Ether price to $2,400.
Alternatively, a close above the 20-day EMA suggests that the selling pressure is reducing. The pair could climb to the breakdown level of $3,350 and thereafter to the 50-day SMA ($3,541).
XRP price prediction
XRP (XRP) has been witnessing a tough battle between the buyers and sellers at the 20-day EMA ($2.20).
XRP/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewThe flattening 20-day EMA and the RSI just below the midpoint do not indicate a clear advantage either to the bulls or the bears. If the 50-day SMA ($2.34) gets taken out, the XRP/USDT pair could rise to the downtrend line.
On the other hand, if the price turns down and breaks below $2.14, it suggests that the bulls have given up. The XRP price could then slump to the support line, which is likely to attract buyers.
BNB price prediction
BNB (BNB) rose above the breakdown level of $860 on Monday and has reached the 20-day EMA ($910), indicating buying at lower levels.

On the downside, if the price breaks below $860, it shows that the bears remain in command. That heightens the risk of a break below the $790 level. The BNB price may then plummet to $730.
Solana price prediction
Solana’s (SOL) relief rally has hit a wall at the 20-day EMA ($144) but the bulls have not ceded much ground to the bears.
SOL/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewThat increases the possibility of a break above the 20-day EMA. The SOL/USDT pair may then climb to the 50-day SMA ($167), where the bears will again try to halt the recovery. However, if buyers overcome the barrier at the 50-day SMA, the pair could rally toward $190.
Sellers will have to sink the Solana price below the $126 support to retain control. If they succeed, the pair could descend to $110 and eventually to the solid support at $95.
Dogecoin price prediction
Dogecoin’s (DOGE) relief rally is facing selling at the 20-day EMA ($0.16), indicating that the bears are active at higher levels.

Alternatively, if the price turns up and breaks above the moving averages, it shows that the bulls are aggressively defending the $0.14 support. The pair could then rise to $0.21, suggesting that the price may remain inside the $0.14 to $0.29 range for some more time.
Cardano price prediction
Cardano (ADA) is struggling to reach the 20-day EMA (0.47), indicating a lack of demand from the bulls.
ADA/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewThe bears will try to strengthen their position by pulling the Cardano price below the $0.38 level. If they manage to do that, the ADA/USDT pair could resume the downtrend and retest the Oct. 10 panic low of $0.27.
Buyers will have to drive and maintain the price above the breakdown level of $0.50 to indicate strength. The pair could then rise to the 50-day SMA ($0.56) and later to the $0.70 level.

Hyperliquid price prediction
Sellers are attempting to stall Hyperliquid’s (HYPE) recovery at the 20-day EMA ($36.54) but the bulls have kept up the pressure.
HYPE/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewIf the price breaks above the 20-day EMA, the HYPE/USDT pair could reach the 50-day SMA ($39.12). The bears are expected to mount a strong defense at the 50-day SMA, but if the bulls prevail, the Hyperliquid price could soar to $44 and then to $51.50.
This bullish view will be invalidated in the near term if the price turns down from the moving averages and breaks below the $29.30 level. That opens the doors for a drop to the Oct. 10 low of $20.82.
Bitcoin Cash price prediction
Buyers have managed to maintain Bitcoin Cash (BCH) above the resistance line, signaling buying on dips.
BCH/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewThe 20-day EMA ($523) has started to turn up, and the RSI is just above the midpoint, indicating a slight advantage to the buyers. The bulls will have to propel the Bitcoin Cash price above $568 to start a new up move to $580 and then to $606.
Contrary to this assumption, if the price turns down and breaks below the moving averages, it indicates that the market has rejected the breakout from the falling wedge pattern. The bears will then attempt to sink the BCH/USDT pair to the vital support of $443.
Chainlink price prediction
Chainlink (LINK) is facing selling near the 20-day EMA ($13.84) but a positive sign is that the bulls have not ceded much ground to the bears.
LINK/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewThat increases the likelihood of a break above the 20-day EMA. The LINK/USDT pair could then climb to the 50-day SMA ($15.87), where the bears are expected to pose a substantial challenge. A break and close above the 50-day SMA brings the large $10.94 to $27 range into play.
Sellers are likely to have other plans. They will attempt to defend the 20-day EMA and pull the Chainlink price to the solid support at $10.94.
