14-day crypto predictions: As cryptocurrencies rally, sentiment shifts to bullish on Bitcoin
Our crypto prediction panel remains neutral overall on six popular cryptocurrencies through the week of August 22.
Bitcoin trades close to $25,000 after successfully holding the previous support level of $23,000. Macroeconomic factors still weigh down on the crypto market, meaning we need a strong catalyst to push the price past $25,000.
Finder’s crypto prediction panel turned bullish on Bitcoin in the most recent survey looking out through the week of August 22.
Finder’s cryptocurrency prediction panel comprises 15 experts in the field. Five of them rotate to share their predictions for the following two weeks on six major cryptocurrencies each week.
Finder’s experts remain neutral
Our experts are neutral on six popular cryptocurrencies, the same as last week.
Where our crypto prediction panel stands
| This week | Last week | |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | Bullish | Slightly bullish |
| Ethereum | Bullish | Bullish |
| Dogecoin | Slightly bearish | Slightly bearish |
| Litecoin | Slightly bearish | Neutral |
| XRP | Slightly bearish | Bearish |
| Solana | Slightly bullish | Slightly bearish |
| Overall | Neutral | Neutral |
The panel’s outlook on Bitcoin (BTC) is bullish, a change from the week before when it was slightly bullish. With inflation numbers cooling, Bitcoin attempts to push through $25,000. Failing to break this level means we could see BTC back at $23,000. Otherwise, $27,500 is the next target.
The panel’s verdict on Ethereum (ETH) is bullish, the same as the week before. Ether trades above $1,800 and $2,000 is the next target. A break over this level requires a major catalyst, though.
The panel’s outlook on Dogecoin (DOGE) is slightly bearish, the same as the week before. DOGE trades at $0.07. Its next resistance level is $0.075.
The panel’s verdict on Litecoin (LTC) is slightly bearish, a change from the week before when it was neutral. LTC trades above $60. The next target is $70.
The panel’s outlook on Ripple (XRP) is slightly bearish, a change from the week before when it was bearish. XRP failed to break through $0.4 once again. If Bitcoin moves above $25,000, we could see XRP take out $0.4.
The panel’s verdict on Solana (SOL) is slightly bullish, a change from the week before when it was slightly bearish. SOL still trades in a narrow range of between $35 and $45. However, a break above $45 seems likely, especially if BTC conquers $25,000.
Finder’s experts hold long-term bullish sentiment on Bitcoin
