Bitcoin momentum is ready to boost the crypto market
- Bitcoin price is squeezed between the trend lines of a symmetrical triangle pattern.
- Ethereum price will likely see a pullback towards its main support area between $3,400 and $3,200.
- Ripple price is about to end the 50-day consolidation between $0.467 and $0.571.
Bitcoin (BTC) price consolidates in a symmetrical triangular pattern, showing directional bias. Ripple (XRP) also follows in BTC’s footsteps as it continues its 50-day consolidation streak. The price of Ethereum (ETH), on the other hand, shows signs of correction.
Bitcoin Price Ready for Triangle Breakout
Bitcoin price has produced three lower highs and lower lows since May 19. Connecting these swing points using a trendline reveals a symmetrical triangle formation on the 4-hour chart. This technical pattern has no bias, and the target is obtained by adding the height of the triangle to the breaking point.
Assuming BTC triggers a bullish breakout at around $67,700, the height of the triangle sets the target near $73,777, its all-time high.

However, if BTC breaks the triangle’s ascending trendline and closes below $67,700, the bullish thesis could be invalidated, leading to an 8% drop, which is the technical target given by the height of the triangle, to $61,734.
Ethereum Price Looks Promising
Ethereum price broke above a falling wedge pattern on the 4-hour chart on May 20 and together 21%. However, the March 12 block of bearish orders extending from $3,980 to $4,093 is rejecting the ETH price.
Investors looking to buy ETH could do so at the following levels:
- At the 50% Fibonacci retracement level taken from the May 27 high of $3,984 to the May 13 low of $2,864 of $3,424.
- At the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the same move at $3,279.
If the above-mentioned conditions are met, then the Ethereum Price it could revisit its previous resistance level at $4,000.

On the other hand, if the daily Ethereum candle price closes below the $2,864 level, it would produce a lower low and signal a break in the market structure. This move would invalidate the aforementioned bullish thesis, potentially triggering an extra 9% drop from the previous $2,600 support level.
Rippled Price to End Consolidation Phase
Ripple price is currently consolidating between $0.571 and $0.467 after a huge 33% drop in mid-April. This 49-day consolidation saw XRP volume weaken.
If Ripple price breaks above $0.571 and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the high of $0.744 on March 11 to the low of $0.419 on April 14 at $0.581, it could rise by 8% to revisit the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $0.621.

However, if Ripple daily candlestick closes below $0.467, so XRP could collide an additional 10% to its previous support of $0.419.
