Table of Contents
The crypto market kicked off April with cautious optimism after a volatile end to March. Bitcoin (BTC) bounced off $81,000 lows and is now hovering just below the $85K mark, while Ethereum (ETH) is defending the $1,880 level despite weak momentum. Solana (SOL), meanwhile, remains locked in a tight consolidation range—caught between fading bullish interest and indecisive volume.
This follow-up builds on yesterday’s article, which captured Bitcoin’s breakdown below $82K and Cardano’s collapse on thin volume. With fresh price action on deck and key levels being tested again, April could be anything but predictable.
Bitcoin (BTC/USD): Bulls Eye $85K, But Resistance Holds Firm
Bitcoin is recovering from weekend losses and is currently trading at $84,238 after finding support near $81,285. While the bounce looks constructive, momentum is still soft, and $85,000 remains a critical psychological and technical barrier.
Key Technical Highlights:
- Current Price: $84,238
- Resistance Levels: $85,000 – $91,252 – $100,114
- Support Zones: $81,285 – $73,746 – $66,273
- MACD: Bullish crossover forming, but volume is thin
- RSI: 47.30 – neutral, but slightly rising
Outlook
A daily close above $85,000 could open the door to $91K. However, failure to break higher may invite a fresh test of $81K and, potentially, deeper downside.
Ethereum (ETH/USD): $1,882 Level in Focus as Bulls Try to Stabilize
Ethereum is quietly holding the $1,880 area after bouncing from strong support at $1,756. MACD shows a shallow bullish shift, but overall sentiment remains fragile, and bulls need to defend current levels with conviction.
Key Technical Highlights:
- Current Price: $1,882
- Resistance Levels: $1,996 – $2,150 – $2,315
- Support Zones: $1,756 – $1,600 (psychological)
- MACD: Slight bullish divergence
- RSI: 41.03 – bouncing from oversold
Outlook
ETH needs a move above $1,996 to reset the short-term trend. A close below $1,756 would likely accelerate bearish momentum toward the $1,600 zone.
Solana (SOL/USD): Sideways Drift Below $130 Suggests Weak Bullish Momentum
Solana continues to chop sideways, currently trading around $128.92. The range between $127 and $139 has capped price action for the last two weeks, with no clear breakout in sight. MACD and RSI both reflect indecision.
Key Technical Highlights:
- Current Price: $128.92
- Resistance Levels: $139.03 – $151.39 – $163.23
- Support Zones: $127.39 – $112.71 – $100.00
- MACD: Mild bearish bias
- RSI: 44.97 – neutral
Outlook
Solana must break above $139.03 to trigger fresh bullish momentum. Until then, expect continued chop, with risks skewed to the downside on a break of $127.
Final Thoughts: Caution Still Rules—But the Charts Are Talking
After yesterday’s selloff dragged BTC below $82K and pushed Cardano to the brink, today’s mild recovery feels more like a sigh of relief than a true turnaround. Bitcoin is still flirting with resistance, Ethereum is hanging on, and Solana is, frankly, waiting for a reason to move.
April has just begun—and it’s already giving traders a reason to stay glued to the charts. Whether you’re scalping the next breakout or managing macro-driven positions, remember this: it’s not just about price—it’s about timing, levels, and conviction. Keep your stops tight, your bias neutral, and your coffee strong. The halving may be weeks away, but the volatility? That’s already here.
