📈 Short-to-Medium Term: What Market Signals Say
Bullish factors:
Prices holding strong near key psychological and technical levels, with recent resilience even on slight pullbacks.
Institutional interest via ETFs still driving moderate inflows — potential catalyst for a breakout above recent ranges.
Bearish/neutral factors:
Cointelegraph
Technical setups suggest possible drift if macro liquidity doesn’t pick up.
Cointelegraph
Near-term range idea:
Expect BTC to oscillate broadly between $75k–$115k before any decisive break — either up or down — depending on macro news and regulatory clarity.
ETH (Ethereum)
Short-term sentiment is sideways consolidation with possible tests of support near ~$2,700–$3,000 and nearer-term resistance above ~$3,300–$3,400.
Ethereum tends to lag BTC early in new trends and outperform later, especially when DeFi yields, staking demand and institutional flows increase.

Short-term pivot points:
Support: ~$2,800
Resistance: ~$3,370
A break above resistance could open a move back toward $4k+.

BNB (Binance Coin)
BNB’s outlook hinges heavily on market sentiment and keeping above key support (~$800). A break of that level could lead to deeper consolidation; holding it boosts chances of a bounce.
BNB often performs strongly during altcoin seasons if BTC stabilizes or rallies.
