Dash Price Analysis: DASH/USD sets the pace for recovery even as Bitcoin stalls under $10,000

  • Dash leads recovery on Tuesday after breaking the key trendline resistance.
  • DASH/USD is comfortably in the hands of the bulls; ready for action above $80.

The cryptocurrency market is mixed red and green on Wednesday during the Asian session. Dash is among the cryptoasset in the green, after advancing higher 1.20% on the day. Major digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple are struggling to detangle from the bearish grip. Bitcoin, in particular, has its price action limited under $10,000. The longer Bitcoin stays under this critical zone, the stronger the sellers become which means there is a possibility of a nosedive in the near future.

Meanwhile, Dash is teetering at $78.05 after extending the bullish leg from $77.07 (opening value). Its existing trend is bullish amid expanding volatility. In other words, Dash bulls are in the driver seat and working hard to break the next short term hurdle at $80.

From a technical perspective, Dash is indeed in the hands of the bulls. The RSI is gradually reaching towards the overbought. The bullish strength is also emphasized by the MACD, currently sitting in the positive territory. If the technical picture remains intact, it is only a matter of time before Dash extends the price above the key trendline resistance. Another technical breakout is expected past the 50% Fibo likely to catapult DASH/USD towards the $90 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.
