This Friday we take a closer look at Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Binance Coin, and Hyperliquid to assess recent price action and near-term outlooks.
Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum failed to break the $2,400 resistance this week and was rejected at that level. Bulls were unable to push prices higher, and the price is now drifting back toward support near $2,000.
Although the price sits roughly where it did last week, recent weakness indicates sellers may be reasserting control and momentum has shifted back toward the downside. That is discouraging for traders hoping ETH would push to new highs shortly.
Looking ahead, Ethereum will likely need to complete a pullback before attempting another run at resistance. A revisit to the $2,000 area in the coming week is increasingly probable. If that support holds, buyers could mount another attempt to reclaim the $2,400 zone.
Ripple (XRP)
XRP finished the week flat after failing to break above its current pennant formation. Buyers tried to defend support around $1.40, but that level was tested and appears under pressure at the time of writing.
If XRP cannot hold above $1.40, the short-term bias will tilt bearish and the price could drop below the pennant. That would increase the likelihood of a revisit to the $1.00 support zone.
From a broader perspective, XRP remains in a macro downtrend despite the sideways consolidation that formed the pennant since February. A clear breakout from this pattern would be ideal, but given current price action that outcome looks uncertain.
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano enjoyed a stronger week, gaining about 5% and testing the key resistance near $0.28. Sellers pushed back at that level, triggering a pullback shortly after the test.
Importantly, ADA posted a higher high, which is a constructive sign and suggests bulls could make another run at resistance. If buyers can keep the price above roughly $0.25, another push toward $0.28 becomes more likely.
This is the first time in over a month that ADA is showing a credible breakout setup, and the uptick in buying volume supports the view that demand is returning to the market.
Binance Coin (BNB)
BNB closed the week up about 3% after making a higher high near $660, though that move fell short of testing the major resistance at $690. For a true breakout, buyers must sustain and increase current buying momentum.
Support at $580 has proven resilient after multiple tests, helping the price to drift higher. However, a convincing break above $690 will require a stronger acceleration in demand.
For now, Binance Coin appears stuck in a range between roughly $580 and $690, a consolidation that has persisted since late February. Bulls will need to take control to pressure the upper boundary in the coming days and weeks.
Hype (HYPE)
HYPE ended the week in the green with a roughly 6% gain, but that advance is likely insufficient to challenge meaningful resistance around $43. That level remains intact and must flip to support for HYPE to pursue new highs.
The token has struggled to overcome this resistance for more than three weeks, which could indicate weakening conviction among buyers. Previously, bullish momentum was stronger; the current lack of follow-through could invite sellers to reassert control.
Going forward, HYPE sits at a critical junction: it will either break above $43 in the near term or risk a corrective move that revisits support zones near $36 and $30.
