The upcoming week could set the tone for the final stretch of 2025. With expectations that the Federal Reserve will announce another interest rate cut and the Seven Magnificent tech giants releasing their results, volatility is almost guaranteed. Let's analyze what the charts indicate for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and $XRP — and for the cryptocurrency market, and how macroeconomic forces may shape its next big movements.
News about cryptocurrencies: how the Fed and profits can shake the cryptocurrency market
The cryptocurrency market has been monitoring macroeconomic liquidity throughout the year. A rate cut means cheaper capital, lower yields, and greater risk appetite — all positive for digital assets. But the problem is that inflation remains stable and the government shutdown delayed important economic data. This creates uncertainty, and markets hate guessing games.
The earnings of major tech companies — especially Microsoft, Apple, and Alphabet — will also impact risk sentiment. If the AI and cloud numbers surprise positively, we may see renewed enthusiasm spreading to cryptocurrencies, reflecting previous rotations between tech stocks and BTC. On the other hand, weak earnings could trigger short-term exits from risk assets, including digital currencies.
On the daily chart, Bitcoin has been quietly recovering from October's lows, now sitting around 112,600 points, with a gain of 1.1% on the day. Heikin Ashi candles show a constant bullish momentum after a series of higher lows, suggesting accumulation. The Bollinger Bands are tightening, which often precedes a breakout.
The main resistance is near 115,000 (the upper pivot and previous rejection zone), while immediate support is around 110,000. A daily close above the Bollinger middle band could attract more buyers, pushing BTC to 118,000–120,000 in early November. But if the Fed disappoints or the dollar strengthens after the meeting, BTC could test 107,000 again before attempting another rise.
Forecast for this week: bullish bias if interest rate cuts are confirmed and stock market sentiment holds. Watch for a possible breakout towards 120,000.
The Ethereum chart presents a cautious but improving scenario. ETH is oscillating near 4,000, slightly above its Bollinger Band average line. After weeks of sideways movement, the latest green Heikin Ashi candles show that buyers are slowly regaining control. However, ETH faces a resistance wall around 4,072 (Fibonacci pivot of 0.236) and the 50-day moving average near 4,030.
The good news is that the lower range around 3,600 has held several times, signaling strong demand. If ETH can decisively close above 4,100, the next step could reach 4,400. Otherwise, the price will be stuck in a range, and a rejection here could pull it back to 3,800.
In macroeconomic terms, Ethereum tends to perform well during dovish cycles, so a rate cut could reignite institutional interest, especially if AI-related earnings boost market sentiment.
Forecast for this week: neutral to optimistic, with a breakout confirmation above 4,100 for momentum to build.
Among the top three, XRP appears to be the most technically oversold and ready for a recovery. It is trading near 2.62, after a daily gain of 2.2%, just below its Fibonacci pivot of 0.382, at 2.64. The price crossed above the Bollinger middle band, suggesting a possible short-term reversal.
If buyers exceed 2.70, XRP could extend towards 2.85 — the upper band and psychological barrier. However, a rejection at this level could drag it back to 2.40 or even to the 0.618 support near 2.30. Volatility remains high, so expect sharp fluctuations intraday.
Forecast for this week: bullish momentum forming, with potential to rise towards 2.80 if BTC remains stable and overall sentiment improves.
Cryptocurrency news: what to expect from the cryptocurrency market this week
The situation is clear: the macroeconomy meets momentum. The Fed's decision on Wednesday and the results from major tech companies by Thursday will determine whether this recovery turns into a rally or stagnates again.
If Powell confirms a dovish stance and markets interpret this as the start of a prolonged easing cycle, $BTC is expected to challenge 115,000-120,000, the $$ETH test 4,400, and the $$XRP extend towards 2.80. But any indication that inflation still concerns the Fed — or disappointing results in the tech sector — could trigger another short-term retracement.
