This weekend marks a critical juncture for cryptocurrencies, and if momentum holds, markets could be heading for new highs. Since former President Trump took office, price charts have been moving like a roller coaster. That volatility has expanded opportunities for short-term traders, but many investors have incurred losses throughout the process. So what lies ahead for SOL, XRP, and AVAX?
Solana gains strength on major ETF inflows
Over the weekend, negotiations with Iran are set to take place, and at the time of writing, Axios highlighted Trump’s remark that “I expect an agreement within one or two days.” Following a positive statement about the Hormuz Strait from Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi, BTC reclaimed the $78,000 level, while SOL rallied to $90. Most major cryptocurrencies recovered losses, registering daily gains above 3%.
According to Sosovalue data, Solana ETF products attracted a $15.5 million net inflow yesterday—the largest since the beginning of March. With market optimism building, further ETF inflows are expected today. Currently, eight different SOL ETFs are accessible to millions of customers, underpinning the growing demand for Solana exposure.
Where is the price headed next? While BTC and several altcoins have broken free from their recent channels, SOL remains short of the $96 resistance level, still feeling the effects of the recent Drift Protocol hack. If demand persists into the weekend, the immediate target is a break above $96, followed by a push to $105. Beyond that, Solana may fluctuate between the $119 support and $148 resistance levels.
XRP and AVAX show positive momentum
Ripple (XRP) is currently experiencing one of its best periods in ETF inflows since launch. For three consecutive trading days, net inflows have surpassed $10 million. The upcoming weekly institutional investment report, due Monday, is expected to be encouraging for XRP. With total net assets exceeding $1 billion, further inflows are likely. Optimism around a potential Iran deal has also boosted attention toward XRP and SOL. Investors betting on a turnaround in risk assets are taking advantage of these movements through leveraged positions.
The same trading channel described earlier is also present in XRP, and unlike SOL, XRP appears to be breaking through. If the price consolidates above $1.50, the next targets will be $1.63 and $1.84. A successful move above these levels could open the door for XRP to easily surpass the psychological barrier at $2.00.
AVAX, on the other hand, has fallen below $16 multiple times this year, even touching single-digit prices at one stage. The network’s struggle to draw significant interest compared to competitors has been reflected in its price chart. Still, AVAX is on the verge of breaking its channel resistance. If it manages to do so, closing above $10.70 could establish $11.37 as support. Afterward, the next significant target will be the $14.80 resistance level.
“If the appetite remains strong through the weekend, the first goal is a break of the $96 level for SOL. Success there could pave the way for $105 and invite wider fluctuations between $119 support and $148 resistance,” analysts following the market observed.
Meanwhile, investor focus is intensifying on these three cryptocurrencies as weekend volatility tends to magnify trading opportunities. Market participants are closely watching real-time headlines and entrance flows into ETF products as strong signals of larger trends.
Looking back, the dramatic price movements since the start of Trump’s presidency have shaped the current landscape. As geopolitical uncertainties and potential deals weigh on the market, traders remain alert to sudden shifts in narrative and capital flows.
For now, sustained ETF inflows and resilient price action suggest that optimism is not yet exhausted. However, technical resistance levels and the unpredictable political backdrop may still test the conviction of traders and investors in the coming days.
All eyes are now fixed on the weekend’s key events: the prospect of an Iran deal, the incoming institutional inflow reports, and technical tests at major resistance levels for SOL, XRP, and AVAX. The outcome may set the tone for the next big move in crypto markets.
