The cryptocurrency market has experienced a massive surge—particularly among altcoins—following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve.
Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded strongly, surpassing the $90,000 psychological threshold to trade at approximately $93,500, marking a 9% increase over the last 24 hours.
Altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin during this rally:
Let’s examine how high these altcoins can go amid the Trump-led euphoria.
Cardano’s ADA token has achieved its falling wedge breakout target, surging nearly 50% in a rapid rally that saw it peak at $1.17.
However, the sharp rise has triggered a wave of profit-taking, with ADA already down over 15% intraday as of March 3. The decline follows the Relative Strength Index (RSI) surpassing 70, signaling overbought conditions and a likely short-term correction.
Technical indicators suggest that ADA could extend its pullback toward the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.823, a critical support level.
Holding above this mark may provide bulls with enough momentum for another attempt at breaking resistance around the $1.25 level, which aligns with the 1.0 Fibonacci retracement line.
A successful reclaim of this resistance could open the doors for a larger uptrend, particularly if speculation around a potential Cardano ETF gains traction. Such a development could fuel further upside, pushing ADA toward the 1.618 Fib retracement target of $1.63 in the near future.
SOL is currently testing a critical support-turned-resistance zone around $180, a level that could determine its short-term trajectory. The cryptocurrency has already slipped by over 11% intraday, reflecting increased selling pressure near this key price point.
A continued rejection at this level could reinforce bearish momentum, potentially leading to a death cross scenario, where the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crosses below the 200-day EMA.
If confirmed, this crossover could drive SOL’s price toward the lower boundary of its descending channel pattern, located around $140.
However, there is a growing case for a bullish reversal. If Solana manages to bounce off the channel’s upper trendline, it could complete the formation of an inverse head and shoulders (H&S) pattern—a classic bullish setup.
In this scenario, a decisive breakout above the H&S neckline resistance at $180 could propel SOL toward a measured target of $260, aligning with its previous highs.
XRP has once again failed to break out of its ascending triangle pattern, facing rejection near the upper trendline and slipping over 11% intraday. This pullback suggests a potential retest of the triangle’s lower boundary, currently hovering around $2.50, as traders take profits after the latest breakout attempt.
The ascending triangle remains a key technical formation for XRP. If buyers step in near $2.50, the structure remains intact, increasing the likelihood of another breakout attempt in the coming days. However, a decisive breakdown below this level could invalidate the bullish setup and trigger a deeper correction.
On the upside, a successful breakout above the $2.95 resistance level could fuel a strong rally, with a measured move target near $4.26. This aligns with XRP’s previous highs and could mark a continuation of its longer-term uptrend.
