Gareth Soloway says Bitcoin has moved from bullish to neutral after reaching his 80k–85k resistance zone, with downside risk toward 60k if support breaks and upside back toward 97k if resistance is reclaimed. He is more cautious on ETH, relatively constructive on Solana if key trend support holds, and selectively watching XRP for a possible breakout, while emphasizing that crypto has broadly underperformed relative to equities.

Gareth Soloway opens by identifying himself as chief market strategist at verifiedinvesting.com and says he will review Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and a few other altcoins. His core message is that Bitcoin is now neutral: he was bullish earlier when BTC was near 60,000, but after price reached his 80,000–85,000 resistance zone, he took profits, reduced crypto exposure, and is no longer in a swing trade on Bitcoin or ETH. For Bitcoin, he argues the market is trapped in a range between support and resistance. He says the “bigger macro bear flag” has not broken down yet, but if support fails, his minimum downside target is 60,000. If BTC breaks above the upper range, he says the next upside target is around 97,000. He stresses patience, saying that when odds are not clearly favorable, he prefers to stay on the sidelines rather than force a trade. On Ethereum, he is more concerned. …
Near term, BTC is a wait-and-see range trade with clear line-in-the-sand levels: loss of support argues for a drop toward 60k, while a reclaim of resistance would reopen upside. ETH looks tactically vulnerable, so the cleaner immediate risk/reward appears to be on the bullish side only if SOL and XRP hold their own support zones.
Over the coming weeks or months, the base case is continued choppy consolidation in crypto until one side of the range resolves. Confirmation would come from BTC either breaking out above the ceiling or failing support decisively; absent that, he prefers reduced exposure and selective altcoin watching.
Structurally, he still treats Bitcoin as the strongest long-term crypto asset, but he is less confident that altcoins will preserve their historical leverage versus equities. The bigger regime question is whether crypto can regain its old outperformance profile or whether the market has matured into a more selective, lower-beta asset class.
