Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP are starting the week on steadier footing after declines in the prior week. BTC is trading above $64,000 but remains below major moving averages, leaving the broader trend bearish.

Stellar’s XLM is up 12% in the last 24 hours, outperforming the broader crypto market. The move comes as open interest reaches $261 million. XLM is extending its weekly gains after renewed buying interest emerged on Tuesday following a strong start to the week.

Bitcoin is up 4% and is trading above the $66,500 level. The rally follows reports of a preliminary peace agreement between the United States and Iran.

XRP traded near $1.15 on Monday as derivatives positioning picked up amid still-fragile market sentiment. XRP perpetual futures open interest rose to an average of $2.44 billion from $2.28 billion, pointing to a cautious return of speculative activity. Technical indicators remained bearish, with key resistance clustered above current price and support watched near $1.05 and $1.00.

Ethereum remains in a downtrend after losing over 15% last week and briefly dipping to $1,505, with price now hovering around $1,684. BitMine Immersion Technologies bought 126,971 ETH last week, lifting its holdings to 5.54 million ETH and a stated ~4.59% of circulating supply. Technically, ETH is below its 50-day, 100-day and 200-day EMAs, with resistance levels outlined at $1,747, $2,000, $2,058, $2,189 and $2,441.

Ethereum remained weak after last week's selloff, briefly testing $1,505 and continuing to trade below key support zones. BitMine Immersion Technologies said it bought 126,971 ETH last week, lifting total holdings to 5.54 million ETH and about 4.59% of circulating supply. ETH was trading around $1,684, with technicians watching $1,747 and $2,000 as resistance and $1,385 as the next notable support.

Cardano (ADA) fell another 13% on Friday, pushing weekly losses beyond 30% and extending the token's decline to five straight days. Founder Charles Hoskinson said a social-media "break" relates to stepping back from public-facing activity rather than leaving Cardano, even as Santiment metrics showed social dominance near 0.52% and daily active addresses rising to 28,459. Technically, ADA remains below major weekly EMAs, with RSI at 22 and key levels highlighted around $0.1500 support and $0.2345 resistance.

XRP fell below $1.25 on Tuesday, extending losses to a third consecutive session and marking its lowest level since February 6. The decline came as crypto markets stayed under selling pressure amid Middle East geopolitical uncertainty, even as XRP products reported inflows that week.

Bitcoin dipped below $77,000 on Wednesday after it could not break above the 200-day moving average near $82,000, then steadied around the $77k area. The move followed U.S. CPI accelerating to 3.8% year-over-year and rising Treasury yields, which pressured broader risk sentiment. Technically, BTC was near $77,200, with key levels including resistance around $78,962 and support at $76,743 and $74,487.
