This Friday, we examine Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Binance Coin, and Hyperliquid in greater detail.

Ethereum (ETH

This week, Ethereum crashed by 8% as most of the market turned red and key support levels were broken. For ETH, the price has settled at the $1,500 support, which appears to be holding at the time of this post. The current resistance is at $1,800.

The last time this cryptocurrency was at this price level was early 2025. Back then, ETH bounced there, triggering a sustained rally that set a new record price. However, it’s unlikely this will be repeated here.

Looking ahead, Ethereum shows a lot of weakness, and sellers may try to break below $1,500 and turn this level into a key resistance. If successful, then the next major support will be found around $1,000.

Ripple (XRP)

XRP fell by 9% this week and is inches away from losing the support at $1. This is a psychological level that will determine the price action of this cryptocurrency in the weeks and months to come.

If $1 turns into resistance, then the price will likely spend most of the year under this level, with the next key support found at 80 cents. Since sellers have the upper hand, it would take a miracle to stop them at $1.

Looking ahead, XRP is found at a critical junction. Considering the existing downtrend, a price under $1 is very likely as bears continue to dominate. Such a scenario would only prolong the bear market with lower lows.

Cardano (ADA)

This week, ADA closed 12% lower and lost its key support at $0.15. The price failed to hold there, and this level is now acting as a resistance. The last time the price was this low was late 2020.

The recent weakness displayed by Cardano is quite concerning since the downtrend has been accelerating and picking up speed, including in terms of sell volume. Nothing seems able to stop this.

Looking ahead, with buyers gone, the price will be forced to go lower until it finds them, most likely around 10 cents. Best to stay away from ADA until it finally forms a bottom. This appears quite a distance away right now.

Binance Coin (BNB)

Binance Coin remained bearish this week after it lost 2% of its valuation. While that is not significant, the bigger worry is the loss of support at $580, which is now acting as a resistance.

Buyers failed to reclaim that support level, and, being on the defensive, they have likely retreated to the next support at $500. Because of this, the BNB price may slowly grind lower towards that in the weeks to come.

Looking ahead, this cryptocurrency remains in a clear bearish trend with lower highs and lower lows, even if it moved sideways for almost six months in the first part of 2026. Best to be patient on BNB until it finds a bottom as well.

Hype (HYPE)

After a great performance for most of 2026, HYPE appears to struggle now, being unable to make higher highs. The price topped just under $76, and since then, a correction has started with key resistance levels at $76 and $66.

Because of this, the price closed the week 5% lower and also recently tested the support at $60. While that has held to date, it’s likely that the correction will push this cryptocurrency lower, or even to $52, which is the bottom of this ascending channel.

Looking ahead, as long as HYPE can stay above $52, buyers have the advantage. However, any price under $52 would turn the chart bearish and send this into a deeper and sharper correction.
