Aime SummaryBitcoin (BTC), EthereumETH-- (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) prices have shown signs of stabilization following a sharp correction, with traders cautiously returning to the market. As of October 13, 2025, BTCBTC-- hovers around $115,500 after a steep decline from an all-time high of $126,199 to a low of $102,000 earlier in the week [1]. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 48, nearing the neutral level of 50, indicating fading bearish momentum, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) still shows a bearish crossover [1]. If BTC continues its recovery, it could retest the key psychological level of $120,000. However, a correction could push prices toward daily support at $107,245 [1].
Ethereum (ETH) traded above $4,100 as of October 13, recovering from a 17.66% drop that saw it fall to $3,593. ETH's RSI also shows fading bearish momentum, but the MACD remains bearish. If ETHETH-- closes above $4,232, it could extend its rally toward $4,488 [1]. A breakdown below $4,232 could see further declines to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $3,593 [1].
Ripple (XRP) rebounded from a 41% collapse to $2.57, with potential to test $2.72 resistance. XRPXRP-- faced rejection from a falling wedge pattern, leading to a low of $1.25 in mid-October. The RSI on the daily chart shows fading bearish momentum, but the MACD remains bearish [1]. If XRP faces a correction, it could extend the decline toward $2.35. Analysts note that XRP's rebound was driven by institutional bids following panic liquidations linked to Trump's 100% tariff announcement [2]. Key resistance for XRP remains at $3.05, with potential upside projections toward $3.65–$4.00 if recovery momentum sustains [2].
Market sentiment has improved, with trading volume for BTC, ETH, and XRP reflecting cautious optimism. BTC's 24-hour volume stands at $61.67 billion, while ETH's volume reached $40.78 billion . XRP's daily volume hit $7.27 billion, with a 5.03% of its market cap traded in the past 24 hours [3]. Despite the rebound, bearish indicators persist: XRP's RSI remains in oversold territory at 37, and its 30-day price change is -21.23% [3].
Technical analysis highlights critical levels for each asset. BTC's immediate support is at $107,245, with resistance at $120,000 [1]. ETH faces resistance at $4,232 and support at $3,593 [1]. XRP's key resistance is $2.72, with a longer-term target at $3.05 [1]. Institutional accumulation has been observed in XRP between $2.34–$2.45, suggesting rebuilding exposure post-liquidation [2].
Forecasts vary but align with the technical outlook. BTC could retest $120,000 if it holds above $119,345, while a breakdown would target $108,200 [6]. ETH's bull case envisions a move toward $5,000 if it breaks $4,200 . XRP's potential to reach $3.00–$4.00 depends on maintaining momentum above $2.72 [1]. However, macro risks such as U.S.-China tariff escalations could reintroduce volatility .
The broader market context includes the anticipated approval of spot ETFs for altcoins like XRP, which could drive institutional inflows . For now, traders are monitoring support/resistance levels and technical indicators to gauge the next moves. The RSI and MACD for all three assets suggest a fragile balance between bullish and bearish forces, with further corrections possible if key levels are breached [1][3].
