14-day crypto predictions: Slightly bearish on Bitcoin, Solana and Ripple
Our crypto prediction panel turns bearish overall on six popular cryptocurrencies through the week of April 25.
After Bitcoin plunged back below the $45,000 price support level, the psychological $40,000 price turned into a target. The cryptocurrency pierced if briefly, and now it’s something of a battleground.
A support level is a price where buy orders tend to outweigh sell orders; if that breaks, a coin can fall significantly. So if the Bitcoin price holds above $40,000, we may see a move to the next key level, $45,000. If it fails below $40,000 without bouncing, $37,000 is the next support level to watch.
Finder’s crypto prediction panel turned slightly bearish on Bitcoin and bearish overall on six popular cryptocurrencies in the most recent survey looking out through the week of April 25.
Finder’s cryptocurrency prediction panel is made up of 15 experts in the field. Each week, five of them rotate to share their predictions for the following two weeks on six major cryptocurrencies.
Finder’s experts turn bearish overall
Our experts turned bearish from slightly bullish on six popular cryptocurrencies. We don’t have a single cryptocurrency out of the six with a bullish sentiment this week, a huge shift since last week.
Where our crypto prediction panel stands
| This week | Last week | |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | Slightly bearish | Very bullish |
| Ethereum | Bearish | Bullish |
| Dogecoin | Bearish | Slightly bullish |
| Litecoin | Very bearish | Neutral |
| XRP | Slightly bearish | Slightly bullish |
| Solana | Slightly bearish | Bullish |
| Overall | Bearish | Slightly bullish |
The panel’s outlook on Bitcoin (BTC) is slightly bearish, a change from the week before when it was very bullish. Bitcoin’s price pulled back, mostly because of the high inflation numbers and the expectation of more aggressive policies by the Federal Reserve.
The panel’s verdict on Ethereum (ETH) is bearish, a change from the week before when it was bullish. After bouncing off the $3,500 price level, the price pulled back to $3,200 and then to $3,000. A break below this level opens up $2,500 as the next target.
The panel’s outlook on Dogecoin (DOGE) is bearish, a change from the week before when it was slightly bullish. DOGE failed to push above $0.175, it pulled back to $0.15 and now moves lower. The next support zone to watch is $0.13.
The panel’s prediction on Litecoin (LTC) is very bearish, a change from the week before when it was neutral. LTC dropped from $125 to almost $100, which is its support level.
The panel’s outlook on Ripple (XRP) is slightly bearish, a change from the week before when it was slightly bullish. XRP needs to hold its $0.7 price level if we are to see more gains. Otherwise, $0.6 would be the next target.
The panel’s verdict on Solana (SOL) is slightly bearish, a change from the week before when it was bullish. Solana was one of the top performers for the last two weeks after OpenSea integrated the network. However, it failed to keep the gains and pulled back to the $100 support level.
