Bitcoin (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">BTC</a>) has been trading in the lower half of its $55,724 to $73,777 range for the past few days, but instead of panicking, the whales and the shark holders have used this <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-whale-buys-1k-btc-binance-selling-sub-58k-low" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">opportunity to accumulate more Bitcoin</a>.
“Over the past month, wallets with 10-10K BTC have collectively accumulated 133.3K more coins while smaller traders continue to impatiently drop their holdings to them,” market intelligence platform Santiment said in part of a post on X.
Another positive sign for the bulls is that Bitcoin stored on exchanges continues to dwindle. According to CryptoQuant data, <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-exchange-reserves-low-price-retest-60k-bullish-analysts" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">Bitcoin reserves on exchanges have plunged by 12.9%</a> since the start of the year. This suggests that investors are bullish in the long term.

An overhang on Bitcoin’s price in the coming months could be caused by the <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-sell-pressure-september-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">selling by the United States government</a>, which holds more than 203,000 Bitcoin. Although Mt. Gox creditors, who have received the repayments, have not rushed to book profits, any change in their behavior could weaken sentiment.
Will the Bitcoin bulls succeed in pushing the price above $60,000? Could the altcoins follow higher? Let’s analyze the charts of the top 10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
<h2 id="bitcoin-price-analysis">Bitcoin price analysis</h2>
Bitcoin turned down from the 20-day exponential moving average ($60,497) on Aug. 29, indicating that bears are selling on rallies.

</figure>
The immediate support on the downside is $58,000. If the price turns up from the current level, the bulls will make one more attempt to clear the 20-day EMA. If they succeed, the BTC/USDT pair is likely to rally to $65,000. The 50-day simple moving average ($62,020) may act as a resistance, but it is expected to be crossed.
Contrary to this assumption, if the price continues lower and breaks below $58,000, it will signal that the bears remain in charge. That will increase the risk of a fall below $55,724. If this support cracks, the pair may plummet to $49,000.
<h2 id="ether-price-analysis">Ether price analysis</h2>
Ether’s (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">ETH</a>) attempted to bounce off $2,392 met with selling near the 20-day EMA ($2,639), as seen from the long wick on the Nov. 29 candlestick.

</figure>
The down sloping 20-day EMA and the RSI in the negative territory indicate that the bears are in control. The ETH/USDT pair may slump to $2,300, which is an important level to watch out for. If the price rebounds off $2,300 with strength, it will suggest that the pair may rise to $2,850 and remain stuck between these two levels for a few days.
Contrarily, a break and close below $2,300 will signal the resumption of the downtrend. The pair could then nosedive to $2,111.
<h2 id="bnb-price-analysis">BNB price analysis</h2>
The bulls tried to push BNB (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/binance-coin-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">BNB</a>) back above the moving averages in the past two days but the bears did not relent.

</figure>
If the price continues lower and breaks below $520, it will suggest that the bears have seized control in the near term. The BNB/USDT pair could drop to $495 and thereafter to the critical support at $460.
Instead, if the price turns up and breaks above the moving averages, it will suggest advantage to the bulls. The pair may rally to $600, which is likely to behave as a stiff resistance.
<h2 id="solana-price-analysis">Solana price analysis</h2>
Solana (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/solana-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">SOL</a>) has been oscillating inside a large range between $116 and $210 for several months.
<figure><img alt="Price analysis 8/30: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, DOGE, TON, ADA, AVAX, SHIB" name="" src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2024-08/0191a438-4b45-771c-827c-454dc874fd96">

</figure>
The price had been stuck between $136 and $164 for the past few days, but the support gave way on Aug. 30. There is minor support at $129, but if this level also fails to hold, the next stop is likely to be $116.
The bulls are expected to guard the $116 level with all their might. A strong bounce off this support will signal continuation of the range-bound action, but if the $116 level breaks down, the pair may plunge to $100.
<h2 id="xrp-price-analysis">XRP price analysis</h2>
Buyers failed to push XRP (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/xrp-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">XRP</a>) back above the 20-day EMA ($0.58) on Aug. 28, indicating selling on minor rallies.

The bears will try to strengthen their position further by pulling the price below the $0.54 support. If they succeed, the XRP/USDT pair may slide toward $0.46. The pair may extend its stay inside the $0.46 to $0.64 range for some more time.
If the price rebounds off $0.54 and rises above the 20-day EMA, it will indicate that the bulls are fiercely defending the level. The pair may then climb to $0.64. Buyers will have to clear this hurdle to start a move to $0.74.
<h2 id="dogecoin-price-analysis">Dogecoin price analysis</h2>
Dogecoin (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/doge-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">DOGE</a>) has been trading inside a falling wedge pattern for the past several months, indicating selling on rallies.&nbsp;
<figure><img alt="Price analysis 8/30: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, DOGE, TON, ADA, AVAX, SHIB" name="" src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2024-08/0191a439-929b-7372-8cea-f7353337711a">

</figure>
The 20-day EMA ($0.10) has started to turn down gradually, and the RSI is in the negative zone, signaling that the bears have a slight advantage. If the price turns down and breaks below $0.09, it will signal the resumption of the downtrend. The pair may then plunge to the support line.
This negative view will be invalidated in the near term if the price turns up and breaks above the downtrend line. The pair may then start a relief rally to $0.14.
<h2 id="toncoin-price-analysis">Toncoin price analysis</h2>
The long wick on Toncoin’s (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/toncoin-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">TON</a>) Aug. 28 candlestick shows that the bears are aggressively defending the 20-day EMA ($6.01).
<figure><img alt="Price analysis 8/30: BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, DOGE, TON, ADA, AVAX, SHIB" name="" src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2024-08/0191a43a-3c5c-7f34-af40-f9f7dd1c062f">

Sellers will try to pull the price to the critical support at $4.72. This is an essential level for the bulls to defend because a break and close below it will complete the bearish head-and-shoulders pattern.
If the price turns up sharply from $4.72 and rises above the moving averages, it will suggest that the TON/USDT pair may continue to trade inside the large range for some more time. A break above $7 will favor the bulls in the near term.

<h2 id="cardano-price-analysis">Cardano price analysis</h2>
The bulls are trying to arrest Cardano’s (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/ada-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">ADA</a>) decline at the uptrend line but are struggling to push the price above the moving averages. This suggests a lack of demand at higher levels.

</figure>
The 20-day EMA ($0.36) has started to turn down, and the RSI is just below the midpoint, signaling that the bears have the upper hand. If the price breaks below the uptrend line, the bears will try to pull the ADA/USDT pair to $0.31 and subsequently to $0.28.
If bulls want to prevent the downside, they will have to shove the price above the 50-day SMA ($0.38). If they do that, the pair may climb to the downtrend line. Buyers will have to overcome this barrier to suggest that the downtrend may be over.
<h2 id="avalanche-price-analysis">Avalanche price analysis</h2>
The bulls tried to push Avalanche (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/avalanche-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">AVAX</a>) above the 50-day SMA ($24.72) for the past two days, but the bears held their ground.

The 20-day EMA ($23.62) has started to turn down and the RSI is just below the midpoint, indicating a minor advantage for the bears. If the price continues lower, it is likely to find support near $19.50.
On the contrary, if bulls push the price above the 50-day SMA, it will suggest the formation of a higher low. That will increase the likelihood of a rally above the descending channel. The AVAX/USDT pair may then rally to $33.
<h2 id="shiba-inu-price-analysis">Shiba Inu price analysis</h2>
The weak bounce off the uptrend line in Shiba Inu (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/shiba-inu-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null">SHIB</a>) shows a lack of aggressive buying by the bulls.&nbsp;

</figure>
The bears will try to take advantage of the situation and sink the price below the uptrend line. If that happens, the SHIB/USDT pair could drop to $0.000012. This is a crucial level for the bulls to defend because a break below it may pull the price to $0.000010.
On the upside, the bulls will have to drive and maintain the price above the 50-day SMA ($0.000015) to suggest that the selling pressure is reducing. The SHIB/USDT pair may then climb to the breakdown level of $0.000020.
