<h2 id="bitcoin-btc-price-forecast-heading-for-further-losses">Bitcoin (BTC) Price Forecast: Heading for Further Losses?</h2> 
Bitcoin’s price hit an all-time high of $108,353 on Tuesday but quickly retraced by 7.8% to close below the $100,000 support level. As of Friday, BTC is trading near $97,500. If the downward trend persists, Bitcoin could revisit the critical $90,000 support level. 
On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below its neutral level of 50, currently reading 49, and pointing downward, signaling bearish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also turned bearish on Wednesday, confirming the downward pressure. However, a recovery above $100,000 could lead BTC to retest its all-time high at $108,353.

<h2 id="ethereum-eth-price-forecast-bears-take-control">Ethereum (ETH) Price Forecast: Bears Take Control</h2> 
Ethereum’s price faced rejection at the $4,000 level on Monday and has since dropped by 14% to close below the key $3,522 weekly support. By Friday, ETH was trading near $3,450. If Ethereum fails to reclaim $3,522 as support and closes below $3,335, the next daily support at $3,029 could come into play. 
The daily RSI for ETH stands at 42, well below the neutral 50 level, indicating strong bearish momentum. If <a href="https://thebitjournal.com/blackrock-dominates-the-bitcoin-and-ethereum-etf-market-with-a-historic-860-million-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ETH</a> surpasses the $3,522 resistance and closes above it, a recovery toward the $4,000 level could be on the horizon.

<h2 id="xrp-price-forecast-bulls-show-signs-of-exhaustion">XRP Price Forecast: Bulls Show Signs of Exhaustion</h2> 
Ripple’s price was rejected at $2.66 on Tuesday, retracing 12.78% over the next two days. On Friday, XRP bounced from the $2.21 daily support level and was trading near $2.33. However, a close below $2.21 could extend the decline to the next support at $1.96. 
The daily RSI for XRP dropped from the overbought level of 70 on Tuesday to 57, signaling weakening bullish momentum. If the RSI falls below the neutral 50 level, XRP could face a sharp decline. Conversely, a close above $2.66 could pave the way for a rally to retest the psychologically important $3.00 level.
