Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple: BTC reaches a new all-time high near $81,800

Source Fxstreet

Bitcoin's price reaches a new all-time high of $81,846 on Monday, following a rally of over 17% the previous week.
Ethereum's price is nearing its weekly resistance at $3,236, and a firm close above it would continue its rally.
Ripple price is approaching its daily resistance at $0.626; a close above this level could signal the continuation of its rally.

Bitcoin (BTC) reached a new all-time high of $81,846 on Monday, while Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) are following suit and nearing their crucial resistance levels; a strong close above these levels could fuel further rally for both assets.

Bitcoin bulls eye for $83,000

Bitcoin reached an all-time high (ATH) of $81,500 on Sunday last week after rallying over 17% following Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the US presidential election. At the time of writing on Monday, it reaches a new ATH of $81,846.

If BTC continues its upward momentum, it would extend the rally to retest its 161.8% Fibonacci extension level (drawn from July’s high of $70,079 to August’s low of $49,072) at $83,062.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 78, trading above its overbought level of 70. Traders should be cautious because the chances of a price pullback are increasing. If RSI exits overbought territory, it would give a clear selling signal. Another possibility is that the rally continues, and the RSI remains above the overbought level.

BTC/USDT daily chart

However, if BTC closes below $78,000, it could extend the decline and retest its key daily support at $73,072.

Ethereum price is poised for a rally if it closes above $3,200

Ethereum's price broke above the daily resistance level of $2,820 on Thursday and rallied over 7.7% until Sunday, retesting its weekly resistance at $3,236. At the time of writing on Monday, it trades slightly below $3,182.

If ETH closes above the weekly resistance at $3,236, it would extend the rally by 9.8% to retest its July 22 high of $3,562.

The RSI stands at 75, trading above its overbought 70, like Bitcoin’s.

ETH/USDT daily chart

If the weekly resistance continues to hold as resistance, ETH would decline to retest its next daily support at $2,820.

Ripple price shows potential for a rally ahead

Ripple price broke above the daily resistance level at $0.544 and its 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.548 on Thursday and rallied over 6.3% in three days. As of Monday, it trades slightly above around $0.595.

If XRP continues its upward momentum, it could extend the rally to retest its daily resistance at $0.626. A successful close above this level could extend an additional rally of 4% to retest its July 31 high of $0.657.

The RSI stands at 70, around its overbought level. If the RSI tilts down, traders should be cautious because the chances of a price pullback increase.

XRP/USDT daily chart

However, if the 200-day EMA at $0.548 fails, XRP could extend the decline to retest its next key support at $0.488.

Bitcoin, altcoins, stablecoins FAQs

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, a virtual currency designed to serve as money. This form of payment cannot be controlled by any one person, group, or entity, which eliminates the need for third-party participation during financial transactions.

What are altcoins?

Altcoins are any cryptocurrency apart from Bitcoin, but some also regard Ethereum as a non-altcoin because it is from these two cryptocurrencies that forking happens. If this is true, then Litecoin is the first altcoin, forked from the Bitcoin protocol and, therefore, an “improved” version of it.

What are stablecoins?

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to have a stable price, with their value backed by a reserve of the asset it represents. To achieve this, the value of any one stablecoin is pegged to a commodity or financial instrument, such as the US Dollar (USD), with its supply regulated by an algorithm or demand. The main goal of stablecoins is to provide an on/off-ramp for investors willing to trade and invest in cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins also allow investors to store value since cryptocurrencies, in general, are subject to volatility.

What is Bitcoin Dominance?

Bitcoin dominance is the ratio of Bitcoin's market capitalization to the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies combined. It provides a clear picture of Bitcoin’s interest among investors. A high BTC dominance typically happens before and during a bull run, in which investors resort to investing in relatively stable and high market capitalization cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. A drop in BTC dominance usually means that investors are moving their capital and/or profits to altcoins in a quest for higher returns, which usually triggers an explosion of altcoin rallies.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
