Bitcoin Under Pressure, Altcoins Preparing - Steady Lads

The crypto market is at a decisive moment after its rebound from the lows of June. The major capitalization indices are now hitting significant resistance zones, leaving uncertainty between a sustainable reversal and a new bearish rejection. In this context, Steady Lads, the analysis and support platform offered by Journal du Coin, releases a new video in which trader Cara breaks down the technical levels to watch and the risks to manage. Key points of this article:

• The crypto market has reached a critical decision zone, facing resistance from major capitalization indices, raising a dilemma between a sustainable reversal or bearish rejection.

• The altcoin sector has shown signs of hesitation below its pivot levels, while Ethereum has adopted an offensive dynamic, gradually breaking through its resistances.

Testing the Resistance Cluster on Total ES and Bitcoin Timing {#h-testing-the-resistance-cluster-on-total-es-and-bitcoin-timing}

The Total ES index, which excludes stablecoins, is struggling weekly below $1.97 trillion. This resistance, corresponding to the previous lows from the beginning of the year, coincides with an active downward trend line for several months. Despite a bullish divergence in the RSI from the major support of 2024, the lack of buying volumes calls for caution.

The same configuration applies to Bitcoin, which is consolidating below $66,500, at the intersection of a downward trend line and former supports that have become resistances. Open positions around $58,000 can now be secured by raising the invalidation thresholds. Without a clear break, a pullback towards the accumulation zones located between $50,000 and $55,000 remains possible.

Neutrality of the Altcoin Sector and Relative Strength Signal on Ethereum {#h-neutrality-of-the-altcoin-sector-and-relative-strength-signal-on-ethereum}

On its side, the altcoin market is consolidating below its pivot levels, with the Alts/USD index stuck under $434 billion. However, the dominance of stablecoins shows signs of weakness, while the RSI of the Top 10 altcoins breaks out of its bearish trendline on a 3-day basis. Sellers seem to be losing momentum, but the Alt/BTC pair remains bearish below its moving averages. Ethereum is showing a more offensive dynamic according to Cara -- Source: YouTube

Ethereum displays a more offensive dynamic. After breaking out of an ascending triangle above $1,800, ETH is gradually overcoming its daily resistances. The ETH/BTC pair also breaks a bearish trendline active since the summer of 2025. Finally, Solana is trying to stabilize its ratio against Bitcoin on a long-term support but remains stuck below $82 against the dollar.

The confluence of resistances on major indices defines the technical framing for the upcoming sessions. The ability of buyers to trigger a simultaneous break of the trendlines and horizontal levels will determine the restart of a sustainable bullish trend. Otherwise, the persistence of these graphical obstacles will maintain the consolidation phase across all digital assets. To go further and no longer feel alone in facing a sometimes complicated crypto market, the Steady Lads community is here for you.
