ETH, XRP, ADA, BNB and HYPE Trade Near Crucial Levels on September 18

1 hour ago 2 sources positive

Key takeaways:

  • ETH's range-bound action with negative MACD means $2,500 breakout needs volume confirmation.
  • XRP's $1.32 retest is pivotal for a $1.37 breakout or a drop toward $1.24.
  • ADA's $0.213 support plus BNB/HYPE strength signals selective altcoin risk-on rotation.

Ethereum (ETH) is trading near $2,482 after rebounding from the lower end of a range that has held since mid-August. The price has spent much of that period between $2,350 and $2,550, with support near $2,400 and resistance at $2,500. If $2,440 now acts as a midpoint support, ETH could retest $2,550; a breakout above $2,500 may open the way to $2,800. Technical indicators are mixed: RSI is 54.06, MACD remains negative at -3.06, while the Ultimate Oscillator and Bull/Bear Power favor buyers.

XRP has returned to $1.32 after briefly losing that level and touching a low near $1.24. The key test is whether former support becomes resistance. A successful break above $1.32 would put $1.37 in view, with a broader bullish target at $1.6 and then $2 if momentum continues. A rejection could send XRP toward $1.28 and then $1.24. The weekly close was up about 1%, and holding $1.3 is seen as important for a stronger base.

Cardano (ADA) jumped more than 6% in a single four-hour candle and is now retesting $0.213 as support. If that level holds, ADA could target $0.223 today and later challenge $0.23, with a breakout opening the way toward $0.30. A failed retest could lead to a retracement toward $0.20 and possibly $0.19. ADA’s indicators are more bullish than ETH and XRP, with RSI at 59.72 and the Ultimate Oscillator at 65.92.

Binance Coin (BNB) closed about 4% higher after buyers defended support at $690. Analysts view the July drop below $580 as a bear trap and expect a continuation toward $900 if current structure holds. Hyperliquid (HYPE) was the strongest performer on the list, up 11% for the week. It is near record territory and could move above $90, with $100 as the next psychological target, provided $85 becomes support.
