BTC Eyes $90K as Gold Rally, Weak Dollar and FOMC Positioning Support Broad Crypto Upside
Bitcoin rallied above $90,000 as a weakening US dollar, new highs in gold, and trader positioning ahead of the FOMC supported risk assets. BTC faces resistance near $90,500–$90,800; a decisive break above moving averages could push a rally toward $94,800–$97,900, while failure risks a drop to $84,000 and lower supports at $80,600 and $74,508. Ether re-entered a symmetrical triangle and is capped by moving averages; a close above them could target $3,659, while a drop risks $2,623. BNB, XRP, SOL, DOGE, ADA, BCH, HYPE and XMR each show short-term relief rallies meeting resistance at their moving averages or key overhead zones; key support levels are noted (e.g., BNB $790, XRP $1.61, SOL $95, DOGE $0.12, ADA $0.33, BCH $563, HYPE $35.50, XMR $445). Analysts (including Tom Lee) link crypto upside to a weaker dollar while social data shows retail interest shifting between gold, silver and crypto. Historical seasonality (February) has favored gains, which could add tailwinds. Traders should watch FOMC outcomes, DXY moves, gold/silver flows, moving-average breaks and the specified support/resistance levels for trade signals.

Bullish
The article highlights bullish catalysts: a weaker US dollar, a gold rally and positive seasonality for February — all of which historically support risk assets including crypto. BTC’s break above $90,000 and sustained pressure near moving averages signal buyer conviction; if price closes above moving averages and clears the $94.8k–$97.9k zone, it would confirm trend continuation. Several large-cap altcoins are showing relief rallies and potential upside if they clear their moving-average resistance. However, important downside supports (listed per-asset) create clear levels where momentum could fail, so short-term volatility remains possible. Overall, macro drivers (DXY weakness, flows into gold/silver) and technical setups point to a bullish bias in the near term, while a dovish FOMC outcome or continued dollar weakness could extend gains. Conversely, a stronger-than-expected Fed hawkish signal or sudden DXY rebound would flip the outlook bearish. Traders should use the specified support/resistance and moving-average breaks for entry/exit and risk management.
