Price Predictions 12/26: Btc, Eth, Bnb, Xrp, Sol, Doge, Ada, Bch,...

Bitcoin and several major altcoins attempted to start a relief rally, but higher levels continue to attract strong selling by the bears.

Bitcoin attempted to rise above $90,000, but sustained recovery may require institutional demand to pick up.

While most major altcoins are struggling near their recent lows, Bitcoin Cash looks strong on the charts.

Bitcoin (BTC) rose above $89,500, but the bulls could not sustain the higher levels. A sustainable recovery would require institutional demand to pick up. Since Dec. 15, BTC exchange-traded funds have recorded outflows of more than $1 billion, per Farside Investors data.

Despite BTC’s weak performance toward the end of the year, Strategy CEO Phong Le said in a recent podcast that BTC’s fundamentals “couldn’t be better.”

For the short term, Le said the Bitcoiners should be “fairly methodical and mathematical about it” as the price action is usually unpredictable.

Select analysts believe that cryptocurrency prices will remain sensitive to the Fed’s policies in Q1 2026. BTSE chief operating officer Jeff Mei said in a blog post that a single 0.25% rate cut by the Fed and steady rate of Treasury purchases could push BTC to the $92,000 to $98,000 range, “supported by ongoing ETF inflows surpassing $50 billion and institutional accumulation.”

What are the critical support and resistance levels to watch out for in BTC and major altcoins? Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.

BTC turned down from the 20-day exponential moving average ($88,593) on Friday, indicating a negative sentiment.

The crucial support to watch out for on the downside is $84,000. If this level gets violated, the Bitcoin price could resume its downtrend. The BTC/USDT pair could plunge to $80,600 and then to the formidable support at $74,508.
