Cryptocurrency markets experienced a strong wave of buying interest as liquidity conditions improved, sending major altcoins sharply higher. Ripple holds steadily above $1.08 after a 10% gain in the prior trading session, while Solana trades just below key resistance near $85. On the other hand, Cardano saw a mild retracement of over 2%, giving back a portion of its 7% rally from Wednesday. Daily charts across digital assets reflect recovering bullish momentum, backed by moving average crossovers and rising relative strength values.
Ripple Technical Outlook: Eyeing the $1.15 Breakout
XRP hovers around $1.09 following its double-digit surge. To sustain its upward trajectory, XRP needs to decisively reclaim its 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $1.1539, which coincides closely with the July 21 high of $1.1646. A successful breakout past this zone could pave the way for a test of the June 15 peak at $1.2935.
Technical indicators support this constructive view. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on the daily timeframe has crossed above its signal line, confirming increasing buying volume. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands around 59, indicating healthy bullish momentum with room for further upside before reaching overbought levels. Downside risks remain anchored by initial support at the 50-day EMA near $1.0764, followed by the psychological $1.00 floor.
Solana Bullish Momentum: Testing $85 Resistance
Solana demonstrates robust strength, trading around $84.81. According to live market data, SOL reached $84.88, registering a 10.19% daily advance. Trading volume expanded to 3.32 times its 20-day average, signaling strong institutional and retail participation within its 52-week range of $60.41 to $148.22. SOL remains comfortably above its 50-day EMA at $75.86 and 100-day EMA at $78.41.
Furthermore, Solana holds above the critical 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the $98.41 to $60.13 decline, situated at $79.27. Technical momentum is intense, with the RSI entering overbought territory at 72. The MACD stands at 0.98 against a signal line of 0.21, reflecting a positive histogram of 0.77. On any sudden pullbacks, initial support rests at $84.13 (S1) and $79.27, while resistance barriers are positioned at $85.63 (R1) and $86.38 (R2).
Cardano Consolidates Above Key Moving Averages
Cardano eased over 2% on Thursday, putting its previous 7% gain at risk. ADA trades marginally above its 50-day EMA at $0.1799, maintaining a cautiously positive short-term structure. However, the token remains capped beneath its 100-day EMA at $0.1930 and 200-day EMA at $0.2597, keeping its broader trend within a corrective channel.
Cardano's RSI hovers near 52 in neutral territory, while the MACD histogram shows easing downside pressure. Immediate support lies around $0.1799, with a deeper structural trendline support near $0.1651 where buyers are expected to defend the price. On the upside, a daily close above the 100-day EMA at $0.1930 is essential to target the 200-day EMA at $0.2597.
Stellar and Bitcoin Join Broader Market Action
Broader digital asset sentiment received support as Stellar (XLM) gained over 9%, driving its price toward the $0.177 resistance ceiling. Meanwhile, market benchmark Bitcoin (BTC) traded slightly lower near its 50-day EMA around $64,370, consolidating after securing a 2.9% two-day gain. Overall liquidity flows suggest altcoins are currently driving short-term market momentum.
