Bitcoin has shown signs of a positive turnaround as it formed successive Doji candlestick patterns on the weekly chart over the last three weeks.
This indicates a resolution of the uncertainty between the bulls and bears in favor of the bulls.
However, the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee meeting on September 20 could introduce volatility, depending on the outcome of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference following the rate decision.
Most market participants anticipate the Federal Reserve to maintain the current interest rate levels.
Bitcoin’s recovery from strong support near $24,800 has sparked interest in select altcoins, which present trading opportunities.
For these altcoins to sustain their upward trajectory, Bitcoin must remain above $26,500.
Bitcoin has recently surpassed the 20-day exponential moving average ($26,303), indicating a reduction in selling pressure.
The bulls have successfully defended against several bearish attempts to push the price below the 20-day EMA.
If buyers manage to push the BTC/USDT pair past the 50-day simple moving average ($27,295), it may reach $28,143, though this level is expected to face resistance from bears.
Conversely, if the price drops below the 20-day EMA, it could retest the pivotal support at $24,800.
Similarly, altcoins like MKR and AAVE have displayed bullish signs, with MKR above the 50-day SMA ($1,162) and AAVE surging past moving averages on September 16.
MKR/USDT could head towards $1,370, though the level may witness a battle between bulls and bears.
Conversely, if the 20-day EMA ($1,162) is breached, the pair might consolidate within the range of $980 to $1,370.

As for AAVE/USDT, a sustained price above the 50-day SMA ($59) could drive it towards $70 and $76, but a drop below the 20-day EMA ($56) could lead to a decline to the solid support at $48.
THORChain’s RUNE has made a smart recovery, nearing the resistance at $2.
If it breaks through, it may initiate a new uptrend to $2.30 and eventually $2.80.
However, a sharp downturn from $2 could push the price down to the 20-day EMA ($1.62).
Lastly, RNDR broke out and closed above the 50-day SMA ($1.58), suggesting reduced selling pressure.
The moving averages are on the verge of a bullish crossover, and a bounce from the 20-day EMA ($1.50) could lead to a stronger recovery to $1.83 and $2.20.
On the contrary, a drop below the moving averages could send RNDR/USDT down to $1.38 and later to $1.29.
In summary, these cryptocurrencies show promising signs, but their paths forward depend on key support and resistance levels, as well as broader market factors like the Federal Reserve’s decisions.
