According to analyst Ali, Ethereum reclaimed the critical $2,140 to $2,350 zone. This range has acted as both strong support and resistance before. According to him, bulls must push above $2,350 to confirm a full breakout. If Ethereum holds above $2,140, momentum could continue. The next resistance appears near $2,600. A clear breakout can open the path to $3,000.

3. Solana (SOL)

SOL is currently trading at around $163.35, with an 8.62% increase in the past day. Its trading volume has increased by 22.11% to $6.04 billion, while the market cap stands at $84.78 billion.

According to an analysis of the weekly chart by Analyst Ali, Solana has formed a clear cup and handle pattern. The neckline resistance sits near $200. The handle broke out from a falling wedge. Bulls aim to reclaim the $200 resistance zone. A breakout above the resistance level confirms the bullish pattern. Price must hold above $140 to maintain momentum. Solana could surge higher if it clears the $200 barrier convincingly.
