Bitcoin under pressure, Ethereum hesitates and XRP accelerates: a week at risk

The cryptocurrency market holds its breath this week. Bitcoin fights under critical resistance, Ethereum shows signs of fatigue and XRP takes momentum … While volatility intensifies, each movement counts. Discover our strategic forecasts to anticipate the next major maneuvers on these three major assets.

The shock forecasts of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple this week

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple are at key technical levels this week. Here are the possible scenarios to monitor for each of them, between potential rebounds and risk of correction.

Bitcoin: a decisive course to cross

Bitcoin has crossed its exponential mobile average (EMA) 200 days at $ 85,000, growing from 11.14 % before falling to the resistance of $ 95,000. Currently around $ 93,500, the BTC could slide around $ 90,000 if the sales pressure increases.

The RSI, at 65, shows a breathlessness of the upward dynamics. A passage under 50 would point out an increased risk of correction. However, in the event of a fence above $ 95,000, an extension to $ 97,000 would be possible for Bitcoin.

Ethereum: the bullish tired

Ethereum jumped almost 15 % after crossing the resistance of $ 1,700. After having briefly touched $ 1,861, the course fell back and stabilizes around 1,773 dollars. If theETh Pass under $ 1,700, the next downward target would be around $ 1,449. The RSI, at 53 and down, confirms this risk. On the other hand, a frank break above $ 1,861 would open the way to a major psychological test at $ 2,000.

XRP: a swing engine

XRP is distinguished by remaining firmly above its EMA 200 days at 1.98 dollars, with an increase of more than 8 % this week. On the side of around 2.24 dollars, it could target its March 24 summit at 2.50 dollars, or even reach $ 3.00 in the event of prolonged momentum. The RSI, at 57, remains above 50, confirming a positive dynamic. Conversely, if XRP loses its current support, a withdrawal to $ 1.96 should be monitored.

May 2025: a decisive month with major events

In May, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple could experience strong volatility.

• For Bitcoin (BTC), the FTX reimbursement wave (planned in dollars with much lower bankruptcy values) could cause punctual sales pressure, now the BTC under 95,000 dollars, with a risk of withdrawal to 90,000 dollars.

But before that, the appeasement of macroeconomic tensions could support the upward trend of Bitcoin until early May, as Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research thinks:

Although the risks linked to customs duties persist, the appeasement of tensions could support the upward dynamics until the beginning of May, in particular for Bitcoin, which continues to take advantage of its growing attraction as a refuge value in the face of global uncertainty. The feeling on the blockchain reflects cautious optimism: Bitcoin whales accumulate, and technical indicators signal resistance around $ 95,000.

• On the Ethereum side, the Pectra upgrade of May 7, 2025 could relaunch interest around the network, promoting a return to 2,000 dollars in the event of technical success, or even a test at $ 2,200 if optimism prevails.
• As for Ripple, the opening of XRP term contracts to the CME Group from May 19, 2025 is a powerful catalyst: an explosion of liquidity could push the price to $ 2.50, or even 3.00 dollars in extension if the institutional craze is confirmed.

However, beware: volatility around these major events will remain high, with risk of brutal corrections.

While May 2025 promises to be rich in major events, investors must first remain vigilant this week. Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple could offer exceptional opportunities … or violent tremors. In this high -tension environment, the key will be to anticipate movements and remain agile in the face of extreme volatility.
