Breakout

Bitcoin has paused after a bullish breakout to multi-month highs, with BTC/USD now consolidating beneath a strong resistance zone. Technical traders are watching $80,000 as the key level that could decide whether bulls retain control or lose short-term momentum.

XRP is holding a higher base above $1 after last week’s sell-off, with buyers defending support near $1.08. Momentum has improved, but the token still needs a decisive push through the $1.10 to $1.12 zone to confirm a breakout.

XRP briefly cleared a long-held $1.20 ceiling and climbed toward $1.25 before profit-taking trimmed the advance. Traders now want to see whether support holds near $1.20 and whether the token can build momentum toward $1.30.
