A detailed look at BTC, ETH, XAUT, the S&P 500, and the broader trends shaping the cryptocurrency market this week.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is nearing the landmark $100,000 level, a critical psychological threshold for the market. How buyers and sellers react here will signal the true resilience of the ongoing bullish trend.
If BTC fails to break $100,000 on the initial attempt, a correction toward $94,700–$95,800 may follow. The $90,000–$90,500 range could act as the next significant support zone if selling pressure intensifies.
Above $100,000, the market enters unfamiliar territory. Will the existing supply on exchanges satisfy the surging demand, or will a supply squeeze spark an even greater rally? The answers lie ahead.
BTC – H2 Timeframe Analysis
Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum has successfully breached resistance levels, entering the critical seller zone at $3,518–$3,560. This range will determine whether the bullish trend can sustain itself and push prices higher.
If buyers remain in control, ETH is poised to reach the next resistance at $3,650, potentially setting a new local peak. This scenario is supported by Bitcoin’s ongoing strength.
In the event of a correction, ETH may test the support levels at $3,352 and $3,190–$3,280, where long positions could be reconsidered.

S&P 500 (SPX)
The S&P 500 remains firmly in its upward trend, but buyers are navigating through hurdles. Last week’s correction to $5,860 hasn’t provided enough movement for profit-taking, nor does it create an ideal buying opportunity.
New highs are still the most likely outcome. Long positions could be considered in the $5,600–$5,750 range, with the goal of surpassing the index’s historic high.

Tether Gold (XAUT)
After finding strong support at $2,510–$2,560, gold prices have resumed their climb. XAUT is now navigating the critical resistance range of $2,690–$2,750, with the outcome here set to reveal the sustainability of the current rally.
A successful breakout above this range could lead to a fresh all-time high, with gold potentially approaching the $3,000 mark by the end of the year.
In case of a pullback, support levels at $2,510–$2,560, $2,462, or $2,402 could come into play once again.
