Crypto Forecast: BTC, ALGO, ATOM, XTZ, EGLD

While Bitcoin (BTC) struggles to stay above the 200-day simple moving average, ALGO, ATOM, XTZ, and EGLD continue to rise. Bitcoin (BTC) is in a bull-bear war near the 200-day simple moving average. It regards as a fundamental level by institutional investors attempting to determine whether the asset is bullish or bearish.

In addition, crypto investors are keeping an eye on the emergence of a golden cross in Bitcoin. If this bullish setup plays out, it will indicate a bullish trend. For the time being, investors are concentrating their efforts on a few altcoins that have sustained their upward trend.

BTC/USDT

On September 10, Bitcoin dropped below the 200-day SMA ($45,894), but bears could not profit on this move. The bulls aim to drive the price back above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). The moving averages are on the verge of completing a golden cross, indicating that the advantage is likely to shift to the bulls. 

If the bulls do not give up much ground, the chances of a break over $52,920 improve. If this occurs, the pair could rise to $60,000.

On the other hand, if the price falls from its current level, it indicates that bears are actively defending the 200-day SMA. The pair may next retest the crucial support level of $42,451.67. A break below this level might tip the scales in favor of the bears. The 4-hour chart reveals that the price dropped from $47,550 on two separate occasions. As a result, this becomes a fundamental level to keep an eye on in the short run. A break and closing above this resistance level could pave the way for a move to $50,500.

On the other hand, the moving averages are on the cusp of a bearish crossing, indicating that sellers aim to make a comeback.

ALGO/USDT

The lengthy tail on September 7 indicates that bulls aggressively bought the decline to the 50-day simple moving average ($1.10). On September 8, a strong buying lifted Algorand (ALGO) above the solid overhead resistance at $1.84. On September 10, the bears attempted to trap the bulls by lowering the price below the breakout mark of $1.84, but the purchasers had other intentions. Today, the ALGO/USDT pair has significantly returned from the support level, and bulls are seeking to take the price above $2.49.

The pair could restart its rise if successful, with the initial upside target at $3 and $3.32. 

ATOM/USDT

Cosmos (ATOM) bounced off the breakthrough level of $17.56 on September 7, indicating that bulls are firmly defending this level.

The moving averages have completed a golden cross, signaling that the bulls have reclaimed control.

Today’s strong purchasing has lifted the price above the overhead resistance level of $32.32.

XTZ/USDT

On September 7 and 8, Tezos (XTZ) successfully retested the breakout level at $4.47. Bears could bring the price below the 200-day SMA ($4.19), but they could not sustain the lower levels.

The candlestick’s lengthy wick over the last two days signals significant selling near $7.

EGLD/USD

On September 7 and 8, Elrond (EGLD) recovered from the 200-day SMA ($131), indicating considerable demand at cheaper levels. The moving averages completed a golden cross on September 9, signifying that the bulls had retaken control.
