Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) rose by over 5%, 6% and 7%, respectively, so far this week as risk sentiment improved amid hopes of a US-Iran extension of the 2-week truce and a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. BTC and ETH are near their key resistance levels, around $75,260 and $2,355, on Friday, while XRP has already broken above its critical resistance. The next move will likely hinge on whether BTC and ETH confirm a breakout, with XRP poised to extend gains if its momentum holds.
Bitcoin stalls key resistance at $75,257
Bitcoin is trading slightly down around $74,650 on Friday, facing rejection around the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $75,257. Earlier this week, BTC retested and found support around the previously broken upper boundary of an ascending triangle pattern (drawn by connecting highs and lows with two trendlines since early February) near $73,400, hinting at a textbook breakout and retest scenario.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart hovers near 61, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram remains positive, which together suggest firm bullish momentum as long as BTC holds above the breakout point near $73,400.
On the downside, initial support is seen at the 50-day EMA at $71,412. A deeper pullback would expose the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at $68,950 (drawn from the January 14 high to the February 6 low), the rising trendline support (triangle pattern) near $67,412, and ultimately the more distant horizontal floor around $62,950.
On the topside, a sustained close above the 100-day EMA around $75,257 and the nearby $75,680 horizontal resistance would open the door toward the 50% retracement at $78,962 and the psychological $80,000 mark.
Ethereum near key resistance zone
Ethereum price steadies near the 100-day EMA at $2,355, which closely aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracment level at $2,380 on Friday, after gaining over 6% so far this week. ETH holds above the 50-day EMA at $2,195, hinting at a tentative positive bias, but remains capped beneath the 100-day and 200-day EMAs, which keep the broader trend under pressure.
The RSI on the daily chart has eased to about 59, showing fading upside momentum after recent gains, while the MACD has turned lower but stays in positive territory, suggesting that bullish pressure is waning rather than reversing outright.
On the topside, immediate resistance is seen at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the broader downswing around $2,380, followed by the 100-day EMA at $2,355; a sustained break above these levels would open the door toward the 200-day EMA near $2,653.
On the downside, initial support lies at the former channel ceiling around $2,148, reinforced by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at $2,138 and the 50-day EMA at $2,195, with the channel floor near $1,747 providing a major structural base if selling accelerates.
XRP closes above 50-day EMA
XRP price is trading slightly down at around $1.42 on Friday, after surging over 7%. XRP holds above the 50-day EMA at $1.40, hinting at a mildly constructive near-term tone, but remains well capped beneath the 100-day EMA at $1.54 and the broader downward parallel channel ceiling near $1.69, which preserves the medium-term bearish structure.
XRP’s momentum is supportive rather than aggressive, with the RSI on the daily chart hovering around 58 and the MACD line in positive territory, suggesting buyers retain an advantage while still operating inside a larger corrective channel.
On the downside, initial support is seen at the 50-day EMA around $1.40, ahead of the horizontal floor at $1.30; a deeper slide toward the channel bottom near $0.88 would only be expected if these levels give way.
On the topside, a sustained break above the 100-day EMA at $1.54 would be needed to expose the upper boundary of the descending channel at $1.69, with the 200-day EMA around $1.79 and the horizontal resistance at $1.90 acting as subsequent caps within the prevailing broader downtrend.

$ENA $LINK $SUI
Hi binance Fam Abdullah here a enthusiastic crypto researcher and trader and here are 3 coins that caught my attention this month. Here's why I am watching them closely.

First of all to analyze whether a coin is strong or not you have to see which of the coins recover the quickest which is relatable to these three coins

$ENA (Ethena)
Ethena is building a decentralized stablecoin ($USDe) backed by Blackrock and offers impressive staking rewards. I entered early and already saw big gains. With strong backers and growing adoption, I believe ENA still has more room to grow — especially if t holds above the key $0.55 level,I believe it can go above $1.

$SUI (Sui Network)
A fast Layer‑1 blockchain with growing developer activity md ecosystem. It surpassed Solana ecosystem with more stablecoins transfer so it has a great future.
Watching critical support at $3.45, $3.27, $3.00—if it holds and volumes rise, this could trigger a bounce.

$LINK (Chainlink)
The leading oracle network connecting real-world data to smart contracts. With staking v0.2 launch, expanding integrations and institutional interest, LINK could rally alongside larger market momentum.
$15.14—a crucial low confirmed by recent chart structure
Also holds within the broader $15.35–$17.95 channel zone, with solidity near $16.10–$16.30 in recent high-volume trading sessions.

These are my top 3 coins to look for now. Which coins are you watching? Let me know👇
