A fierce war between the bulls and the bears has been going on at the $25,000 range for Bitcoin (BTC). Due to the lack of a catalyst and the absence of significant macroeconomic data in the United States this week, a clear winner may not materialize in the near future.In addition to paying great attention to Bitcoin, investors are closely monitoring Ether (ETH) in advance of its Merge slated on September 15. On August 14, a whale address had lain dormant for three years and sent around 150,000 Ether. Some have speculated that the whale may sell his holdings after the Merge, while others think the transfers may have been made to stake the enormous amount of ether.Could buying show up at lower prices and restart the upward trend in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies? To find out, let's examine the top-10 cryptocurrency charts.<h2>BTC/USDT</h2>The bears aggressively sold and dragged the price down to the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) ($23,403) while the bulls attempted to continue the upward movement in Bitcoin.Bitcoin is in bad condition now. The likelihood of the bears pushing the stock below the 20-day EMA is considerable. If that does place, the pair may fall to the 50-day SMA ($22,278) and later to the uptrend line.Bulls may be buying the dips to this level if the price bounces off the 20-day EMA. The likelihood of a break and closure over $24,668 may increase as a result.<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc0311eda8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="BTC chart (Source: TradingView)" title="BTC chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338">&gt;&gt;&gt; Related Article: <a href="https://www.builder.news/earn/8-ways-to-earn-more-with-bitcoin-in-a-bearish-market-qea9I" alt="8 ways to earn more with Bitcoin in a bearish market" title="8 ways to earn more with Bitcoin in a bearish market" target="_blank" rel="" class="">8 ways to earn more with Bitcoin in a bearish market</a><h2>ETH/USDT</h2>Over the previous four days, Ether has frequently risen above the psychological resistance level of $2,000, but the bulls were unable to maintain the higher levels. This indicates that bears present a significant challenge at this stage.The ETH/USDT pair may drop to the $1,700 breakthrough level. This is a crucial key to keep an eye on because if bulls turn $1,700 into support, the possibility of a break above $2,000 will rise. The pair may rally to the downtrend line if that occurs.Bulls are in charge, as seen by the upsloping 20-day EMA ($1,784) and the positive reading on the RSI. Bears will need to drive the price down below the 20-day EMA and hold it there in order to disprove this optimistic outlook. This might cause the pair to fall to its 50-day SMA ($1,522).<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc031a28a8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="ETH chart (Source: TradingView)" title="ETH chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338">&gt;&gt;&gt;Related Article: <a href="https://www.builder.news/crypto-insights/the-merge-a-pivotal-event-for-ethereum" alt="The Merge: A pivotal event for Ethereum" title="The Merge: A pivotal event for Ethereum" target="_blank" rel="" class="">The Merge: A pivotal event for Ethereum</a><h2>BNB/USDT</h2>The price will now be sunk to the 20-day exponential moving average ($304), which is the nearest support.The buyers will try once more to lift the BNB/USDT pair over the $338 to $350 resistance range if the price bounces off of this support. The path of least resistance is to the upside, according to the 20-day EMA's upward slope and the bullish reading on the RSI.If the price declines and breaks below the 20-day EMA, this bullish outlook may become worthless in the near future. In such a case, short-term traders would hurry to get out, which might push the pair toward the 50-day SMA ($273).<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc031f35a8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="BNB chart (Source: TradingView)" title="BNB chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338"><h2>XRP/USDT</h2>On August 13 and 14, the bulls attempted to push XRP above the overhead barrier at $0.39, but the bears resisted. This might have prompted short-term traders to book profits, which caused the price to decline below the 20-day EMA ($0.37).The XRP/USDT pair may continue to trade in a narrow range between $0.30 and $0.39 if bears manage to push the price below the 50-day SMA. Additionally, the near-midpoint RSI and the flattish 20-day EMA point to a short-term consolidation.On the other hand, it will show that lower levels are drawing buyers if the price bounces back off the moving averages. The bulls will then try to overcome the overhead barrier once more and drive the pair to $0.48 and eventually $0.54.<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc03246fa8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="XRP chart (Source: TradingView)" title="XRP chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338">&gt;&gt;&gt; Related Article: <a href="https://www.builder.news/news/xrp-and-jed-mccaleb-a-crypto-divorce-bvUJ0" alt="XRP and Jed Mccaleb: A crypto Divorce" title="XRP and Jed Mccaleb: A crypto Divorce" target="_blank" rel="" class="">XRP and Jed Mccaleb: A crypto Divorce</a><h2>ADA/USDT</h2>On August 13, the bulls managed to push Cardano (ADA) above the overhead resistance at $0.55, but on August 14, they were unable to keep up the momentum. This implies that bear activity is higher up.&nbsp;The price turned down greatly on Aug. 15 and fell below the 50-day SMA ($0.49) It's likely that the bear try to push the price dip down. If the price rebounds off this zone, the buyers will again attempt to resume the up-move and push the ADA/USDT pair to $0.63 and then to $0.70.<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc032d4fa8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="ADA chart (Source: TradingView)" title="ADA chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338"><h2>SOL/USDT</h2>On August 13, Solana (SOL) surged to the overhead resistance at $48 but the bulls were unable to cross this threshold. On August 15, the bulls attempted to overcome the above barrier once more, but the bears persisted.The support line may be the next halt as the SOL/USDT pair dropped below the 20-day EMA ($42). A break and close below this level would render the bullish ascending triangle pattern worthless, making it a crucial level for the bulls to protect. Then, the pair might drop to $32.On the other hand, if the price bounces back off the 20-day EMA, the bulls will aim to push and maintain the pair's price over $48 once more.<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc033237a8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="SOL chart (Source: TradingView)" title="SOL chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338">&gt;&gt;&gt; Related Article:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.builder.news/crypto-insights/ecosystem-monthly-highlights-solana-61bdg" alt="Ecosystem Monthly Highlights: Solana" title="Ecosystem Monthly Highlights: Solana" target="_blank" rel="" class="">Ecosystem Monthly Highlights: Solana</a><h2>DOGE/USDT</h2>On August 15, the price was dragged back below the breakout level by the bears who sold at higher levels. A slight plus is that reduced prices are drawing buyers, as evidenced by the day's candlestick's extended tail. The buyers will attempt to resume the uptrend and drive the DOGE/USDT pair to $0.10 if the price can reach above $0.08.In contrast to this presumption, the bullish setup will be nullified if the price drops below the moving averages and the triangle's trendline. Afterward, the pair might fall to $0.06<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc033817a8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="DOGE chart (Source: TradingView)" title="DOGE chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338"><h2>DOT/USDT</h2>On August 14, the DOT/USDT pair fell under the $9 breakthrough barrier, and on August 15, the price reached the 20-day EMA ($8.49). A break below this level could indicate that the bullish momentum has slowed, therefore it's crucial to keep an eye on it. After that, the price may drop to the 50-day SMA ($7.76) before remaining range-bound for some time.Alternatively, the bulls will attempt to break through the overhead barrier at $9.68 if the price bounces back off the 20-day EMA. If they succeed, the duo may eventually reach $10.8.<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc033c56a8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="DOT chart (Source: TradingView)" title="DOT chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338"><h2>SHIB/USDT</h2>Shiba Inu (SHIB) gets back to the race with the sudden increase in price on August 14 that lifted it above the overhead barrier at $0.000017.The bears, though, are still fighting. On August 18, they forced the price back below $0.000014. The purchasers will attempt to cross the overhead barrier once more if the price bounces off either level. If successful, the pair may increase to $0.000022.The pair, however, may continue to swing in a wide range between $0.000010 and $0.000018 for a few more days if the price breaks below $0.000013.<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc0341d2a8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="SHIB chart (Source: TradingView)" title="SHIB chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338"><h2>AVAX/USDT</h2>On August 13, buyers attempted to lift Avalanche (AVAX) beyond the overhead resistance, but the bears stopped them at $30.35. This implies that bear activity is strongly increasing.&nbsp;On the 19th of August, the price then sinks below the 50-day SMA ($22.92). A few aggressive bulls became stuck bears driving the market. If the bull does not show any effort, the price could drop below the support line.On the other hand, a bounce off the current level and a rise above $28 would indicate the beginning of a rally above $30.<img src="https://cdn.builder.news/news/11ed1fa5dc0345eea8e6023f659fee92.jpg" alt="AVAX chart (Source: TradingView)" title="AVAX chart (Source: TradingView)" width="600" height="338">&gt;&gt;&gt; For more comprehensive information inside the crypto world, check <a href="https://www.builder.news/category/crypto-insights" alt="Crypto Insights " title="Crypto Insights " target="_blank" rel="" class="">Crypto Insights</a> from Builder.news.<div class="pr-block-special">Disclaimer: This article is intended for and only to be used for reference purposes only.
