Dash Price Analysis: DASH/USD outperforms Bitcoin spiking over 1% towards $80

  • Dash bounced off short term support at the 38.2% Fibo ($74.00) support after a retreat from weekly high.
  • DASH/USD is comfortably in the hands of the bulls owing to the upward trending RSI and MACD.

The cryptocurrency space is back to the nice green ‘carpeted landscape’ after the bullish momentum on Monday took a breather. Tuesday was characterized by trend reversals as bears rushed for revenge and bulls scampered to seek balance. Dash was not any different as it retreated from the weekly high at $76.74. Tentative support at the 50% Fibonacci level failed to hold the ground but the 38.2% Fibo at $74.00 came in handy.

Over the last two trading sessions (the American session on Tuesday and the Asian session on Wednesday), DASH/USD has reversed the trend upwards to the extent of testing the hurdle at the 50% Fibo, taken between the last swing high of $82.54 to as swing low of $68.82.

Dash appears to be outperforming most of the major cryptoassets including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple. Bitcoin is trading higher by 0.17%, Ethereum 0.77% and Ripple 0.29%. Dash on the other hand is up 1.1% to exchange hands at $74.85.

Dash technical analysis

Dash has been on upward price action as earlier mentioned. The bullish momentum is supported by the RSI as well as the MACD. The break above a key descending trendline resistance greatly impacted the ongoing recovery. The trend is still in favor of the bulls as observed with the RSI (just about cross into the overbought region) and the MACD (moving higher within the positive region). A sustained break above $76.00 would give buyers a fighting chance towards $80.00 (key resistance) and $100 psychological level.

Near Protocol slides below $5.00 after Near Intents $4M exploit
Near Protocol (NEAR) uptrend has been cut short, as the price slides below $5.00 on Thursday. The correction comes after an exploit on the network’s Near Intents services, which affected deposits and withdrawals across 11 crypto networks. NEAR is currently trading at $4.88, below the daily high of $5.54, while falling momentum indicators suggest that sellers are gaining the upper hand.
XRP loses momentum as ETF inflows stall
Ripple (XRP) shows signs of weakness as it slides below $1.50 on Thursday. The correction from September highs of $1.66 aligns with recent struggles faced by major assets Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). BTC currently trades above $83,000 while its upside is capped below $85,000. As for ETH, the smart contract token hovers between a narrow $2,600-$2,700 range.
Bitcoin beats September's curse: Is there enough demand for October?
Bitcoin (BTC) closed September with a 6.33% gain, breaking away from a month that has averaged losses since 2013. The buying that carried the rally, however, has thinned as October begins. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended a 9-day inflow streak on Wednesday, while long-term holders stepped up their selling. Meanwhile, a large wall of sell orders sits just above the current price.
Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH ranges as Citi raises target to $3,028
Ethereum (ETH) is trading above $2,600 on Thursday, while short-term supply caps upside at $2,700 ahead of a higher limit at $2,800. The smart contracts token mirrors broader crypto price action, with Bitcoin (BTC) struggling to regain momentum above $83,000. A breakout above the upper limit at $2,800 would encourage more traders to take on more risk, alleviating buyer exhaustion.
Bitcoin: BTC consolidates gains as ETF inflows hit highest level since October 2025
