Analysts Flag Key Resistance Bands Ahead

In a research note, 10x Research said recent trading patterns suggest the crypto market may be shifting from a speculative environment toward one influenced more by fundamentals and network usage.

“Recent data suggests the market may be transitioning from a purely speculative regime into one increasingly driven by fundamentals and network growth,” the company said in its report. 

Glassnode’s data noted that for Bitcoin to regain momentum toward a new all-time high, it requires a break above major supply clusters. The firm pointed to immediate resistance zones between $93,000 and $96,000 as well as $100,000 and $108,000, where prior buyers typically exert selling pressure.

Mixed Performance Across Altcoins

TRX led gains, with its price rising nearly 1% in the last 24 hours, while Ethereum and XRP’s price edged 0.2% higher. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Tron and Ethereum remained firmly in the ‘bearish’ territory over the past day. Meanwhile, retail sentiment around XRP dipped to ‘neutral’ from ‘bullish’ tertiary.

Meanwhile, Dogecoin (DOGE) led losses among large-cap tokens, falling 1.6%. Solana (SOL) dipped 0.8%, while Cardano (ADA) declined 1.1%. Stocktwits sentiment around Dogecoin stayed in “neutral” territory.

XRP’s price remained subdued in early morning trade on Friday, even after 21Shares was officially approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch its XRP ETF (TOXR) on Monday. 

The overall cryptocurrency market edged 0.1% higher over the last 24 hours, with a market value of $3.21 trillion. CoinGlass data showed liquidations at $174 million over the past day. Around $76 million came from short bets, and the other $96 million was from long positions.
