As Bitcoin (BTC) recovers the $80,000 mark and continues its upward trend, an analysis suggests that Ethereum and XRP are approaching key resistance levels, entering a short-term directional turning point.

FXStreet reported on May 4 (local time) that Bitcoin has resumed its upward trend after a recent correction, and Ethereum and XRP are also experiencing simultaneous rises, nearing tests of key resistance zones.

According to the report, Bitcoin is trading above $80,000, maintaining an upward structure. The area where the Fibonacci 50% retracement level and the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) overlap is acting as a support line. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains in a bullish zone, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has turned positive, indicating a continued buyer-dominant trend.

On the upside, the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) and the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level have been identified as major resistance zones. If this zone is breached, there could be room for a rise to the January high. Conversely, if the $80,000 support level breaks, there is a possibility of a short-term correction.

Ethereum is maintaining a short-term upward trend but is close to a key resistance zone. The current price is finding support above the 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages, but the Fibonacci 38.2% retracement zone is capping the upside. A breakthrough of this zone could lead to further gains, but selling pressure is likely to intensify near the higher resistance level of the 200-day exponential moving average.

XRP is also continuing its upward trend, approaching the resistance level near $1.40. A breakthrough of this price level could lead to a new upward rally, but whether the resistance is broken has been identified as a key variable determining short-term direction.

Overall, major cryptocurrencies are sharing Bitcoin's upward momentum, but Ethereum and XRP are analyzed to have entered inflection points where their direction will be decided at key resistance zones.
