Cryptocurrency Market Analysis for May 2nd: Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and HypE (HYPE) Price Reviews
Cryptocurrency Breakdown for the Week
Check out a lowdown of Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Solana, and Hype this week!
Ethereum (ETH)
ETH remained stubborn, hovering under the key resistance of $1,825 and recording a 3% price increase this week. Despite bullish momentum, the volume has been lackluster, allowing bears to hold on to the upper hand and prevent a breakout. However, pressure is building, and a re-test of the key resistance could be on the horizon.
If Ethereum manages to mirror Bitcoin's recent growth, which has seen higher highs, it's just a matter of time before the key resistance crumbles, paving the way for bulls to target $2,000 next.
Ripple (XRP)
XRP ended the week in a neutral position with a minimal 1% gain. The lack of conviction from buyers has allowed sellers to maintain control, and XRP needs to reclaim the $2.3 support level to re-establish momentum towards $2.6. Failure to do so could see XRP slide back to the $2 support.
Ripple remains in an uptrend, but recent price action and volatility have taken a dive. Buyers need to make their presence felt to ward off further re-tests of the $2 support.
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano has been consolidating above the $0.64 support, shedding a 2% loss for the week. The lack of momentum could pave the way for sellers to re-test the current support. For ADA to return to the offensive, buyers need to push the price above $0.8, giving it a good shot at breaching the $0.9 resistance and even aiming for $1.
The consolidation period is healthy, but the lack of momentum could be construed as bearish if buyers don't step up.
Solana (SOL)
Solana took a 3% tumble this week after failing to break the key resistance at $152 twice. The decreasing volume and a potential bearish cross on the daily MACD indicate that a pullback towards $130 could be on the cards.
SOL could experience a temporary corrective move before bouncing back, but the current market dynamics suggest that there might be more red ahead for May before new highs can be reached.
Hype Token (HYPER)
HYPER closed the week with a 7% price increase, making it the week's best performer. The price breached the resistance at $19 and surged towards $21, but sellers temporarily halted the advance at the $21 resistance. As long as the price remains above $20, buyers hold the advantage, and another attempt to breach the $21 resistance is likely.
HYPER has been in a strong uptrend since early April. If the $21 resistance cracks, HYPER could sprint to $23. If the $21 resistance holds up, a pullback becomes more likely.
