Altcoins Surge as Bitcoin Breaks $115,000—Will the Crypto Rally Continue?

The crypto market today is witnessing explosive momentum as Bitcoin surges past the $115,000 mark, reigniting bullish sentiment across the board. Major altcoins like VIRTUAL, ZEC & DASH are skyrocketing, reflecting renewed investor confidence and growing market liquidity ahead of a high-volatility week. With traders eyeing key macro events and technical breakouts, the digital asset space is buzzing with optimism. The big question now—can this rally be sustained, or is the market gearing up for another round of sharp corrections?

Virtual Protocol (VIRTUAL) Price Breaks Bearish Pattern

Over the past few months, the Virtual Protocol price has been stuck within a descending parallel channel. The token attempted a breakout that resulted in forming yet another lower high, indicating the rising strength of the bears. However, it has broken above the structure following a strong influx of buying volume that suggests the VIRTUAL price is poised for a strong upswing. 

The price broke above the channel with a huge rise in the buying pressure; however, the technicals point towards a consolidation ahead of the next breakout. The RSI entered the overbought range and appears to be flattening. On the other hand, On-Balance Volume spiked and continues to maintain a steady rise. Flattening RSI & rising OBV is usually a bullish signal, hinting towards accumulation during consolidation. It implies that smart money is quietly buying regardless of price movement and creating bullish pressure beneath the surface. 

Therefore, traders can expect a cooling phase before breaking the resistance zone between $1.86 and $1.94 that may pave the way beyond $2 to reach $2.1. 

Zcash (ZEC) Price Eyes 35% Rise to Hit $500

Zcash price is witnessing one of the bulliest months, not seen in the past few years. The buying volume rose back to the 2021 bull run days, which helped the price mark a steep rise after following a prolonged ascending consolidation. Currently, the ZEC price has surpassed one of the important resistances, which was the market top during the 2021 bull run. If the price sustains within the range, a continued upswing may help the price break higher targets. 

As seen in the above chart, the ZEC price has broken the resistance zone between $293 and $316 and closed the weekly trade above this range. This suggests the bulls have held a tight grip over the rally, and the momentum may not fade as OBV remains escalated. Interestingly, the 50/200 weekly MA underwent a bullish crossover that could help the token sustain the upward trend and push towards the higher targets at 1.2 FIB at $471 and 1.4 FIB at $522. 

Regardless of the 20% Jump Dash (DASH) Price Awaits a Breakout

Ever since the rally rose above the impact of the 2022 bear market, the DASH price has been stuck within a massive descending parallel channel. Every attempt of the token to break the resistance has resulted in a strong rejection, while the current scenario raises some hopes. The price has been defending the pivotal support just above $40 for a few weeks and hence flashes a huge possibility of a breakout above $60 in the coming days. 

The DASH price remains within the descending parallel channel but has secured the pivotal support at the 200-day MA. With the volume spiking to the highest levels not seen in recent times, a breakout from the range could be imminent. On the other hand, the RSI has yet again entered the overbought range. Previously, this move followed a steep rejection, but the current rebound suggests there could be more room for the price to rise. Therefore, once the RSI reenters back into the overbought range, the price could break the channel and rise above the resistance zone between $61 and $63. 

Once these levels are secured, the Dash price may enter a strong bullish trend and probably reach $100 in 2025.
