- Ethereum has been leading the crypto rally, reclaiming the $4,250 support level, with analysts eyeing resistance at $4,500 and $4,750.
- XRP, SUI, and XLM also posted strong gains, with XRP nearing a decisive $3.13 level, SUI eyeing a potential rally to $7.
The crypto rally has expanded further with Bitcoin nearing $120,000, thereby triggering a broader rally across the altcoin market.
Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Sui, and Stellar (XLM) have been leading the surge as the broader crypto market cap surges past $4.1 trillion.
Ethereum (ETH) Preparing for Major Outperformance
After a 30% retracement from its all-time highs and taking support at $3,800, the ETH price has bounced back and is once again trading past $4,400. The daily trading volumes have surged past $44.0 billion, while the ETH open interest has jumped 5% to more than $59 billion.
Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe stated that Ethereum (ETH) may be nearing the end of its correction phase and could outperform in the weeks ahead.
According to van de Poppe, the expected sequence begins with Bitcoin (BTC) bouncing higher, followed by a minor correction. Afterward, he predicts Ethereum will take the lead.
As a result, the analyst expects broader momentum to spread across the rest of the crypto ecosystem, as mentioned in our earlier story.
Looking at the current ETH price levels and short-term outlook, the largest altcoin has reclaimed the key $4,250 support level, signaling renewed bullish momentum.
Analysts note that the next major resistance zones are at $4,500 and $4,750, which, if breached, could pave the way for a new all-time high. However, a failure to hold above $4,250 could trigger a drop toward the $4,000 level.
Altcoins Rally: XRP, SUI, and XLM Make Major Contributions
The XRP price has staged a strong bounce back from the $2.80 support and is currently eyeing a potential upside past $3.0. Market analyst EGRAG Crypto noted that XRP is approaching a critical price level, with the next move likely to set the direction.
According to the analyst, a close above $3.13, which is the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level, could open the door for a rally toward at least $4.40. However, failure to break above this level may trigger a pullback, with potential downside targets at $2.65 or even $2.40.
Furthermore, the corporate demand for XRP is on the rise at the same time. As reported by CNF, VivoPower International PLC has strengthened its digital asset strategy by raising $19 million through an equity offering to expand its XRP holdings.
On the other hand, the SUI price has surged 5% in the last 24 hours and is currently rising past $3.5, with its market cap approaching $13 billion. Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that the current bounce from the support levels hints at potential upside ahead, for a rally to $7.

Stellar’s native crypto XLM has surged past $0.40, with a strong surge in daily trading volume to $434 million. The move came with strong momentum, indicating renewed buyer participation after weeks of consolidation.
Analysts note that as long as XLM holds above the breakout zone around $0.38–$0.39, the outlook remains bullish. The breakout also sets up potential continuation toward the $0.45–$0.48 range in the near term.
