Price predictions 9/1: SPX, DXY, BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA, LINK
By Rakesh Upadhyay — Sep 1, 2025
Bitcoin bulls are attempting to push price back above $110,530, but bears are selling breakouts and the range highs. Select altcoins have only pulled back shallowly, suggesting investors are not rushing to sell and may be anticipating the up move to continue. Institutional inflows into digital asset products remain robust, while seasonal weakness and past September performance for Bitcoin are a potential headwind.
Key points
- Bitcoin must quickly reclaim and hold above the 20-day EMA to avoid a deeper drop toward $105,000.
- Shallow pullbacks in some altcoins indicate limited selling pressure and the possibility of a continued rally.
- Institutional investment products recently recorded strong inflows, offsetting prior outflows.
S&P 500 Index (SPX)
The S&P 500 remains in an uptrend, but the RSI shows negative divergence, signaling weakening bullish momentum. If bears push the index below the 20-day exponential moving average (around 6,418), the S&P could fall to the 50-day simple moving average (about 6,316) and the breakout level near 6,147. The area between the 50-day SMA and 6,147 is expected to see strong buying; a break below it would suggest a short-term top and could extend the correction toward 5,950.
US Dollar Index (DXY)
The US Dollar Index rallied above the moving averages in late August but failed to sustain gains and closed back below. Minor support sits at 97.55; if that level breaks, the next supports are 97.10 and 96.37. Bulls need to push DXY above the 99 level to avoid further downside. A sustained move above 99 could target 100.50, with sellers likely defending that zone; if bulls prevail, the rally might extend to resistance near 102.
Bitcoin (BTC)
BTC plunged below the $110,530 support, showing bears are attempting to take control. Bulls will try to drive price back above the 20-day EMA (approximately $112,566), but significant resistance is expected there. A sharp rejection from the 20-day EMA would raise the probability of a drop to $105,000 and then to $100,000. Conversely, a break and close above the 20-day EMA would indicate selling has dried up at lower levels and could send Bitcoin toward the 50-day SMA (around $115,918).
Ether (ETH)
Ether is battling the 20-day EMA (near $4,378), with a flat 20-day EMA and neutral RSI offering no clear edge. A drop below the 20-day EMA could push ETH to $4,094, a critical level for bulls; loss of that support may open the path to $3,745 and then $3,350. On the upside, a decisive push above $4,957 would signal a resumption of the uptrend and could propel Ether toward $5,500.
XRP
XRP slid to a key support at $2.73, where buyers are expected to step in. Any recovery is likely to face selling at the 20-day EMA (around $2.94). A sharp turn down from the 20-day EMA could break $2.73 and complete a bearish descending triangle, paving the way to $2.33. For bulls to regain control, XRP must break and hold above the downtrend line, which could then open a move toward $3.40.
BNB
Buyers are trying to keep BNB above the 20-day EMA (about $847), but negative RSI divergence suggests the EMA may give way. If that occurs, BNB could fall toward the 50-day SMA (around $804). Alternatively, a rebound from the 20-day EMA and a rally above $881 would confirm bulls remain in charge and increase the chances of a break above $900, potentially starting a push toward the psychological $1,000 level.
Solana (SOL)
Solana pulled back and traded below the breakout level of $210, indicating bears are attempting to trap aggressive bulls. SOL is likely to find support in the zone between the 20-day EMA (roughly $195) and the uptrend line. A forceful rebound off the uptrend line would have bulls targeting $218, then $240 and $260. Conversely, a close below the uptrend line would invalidate the bullish ascending triangle and could intensify selling toward $175 and then $155.
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Dogecoin has dropped back to the $0.21 support, showing bears are selling on minor rallies. The 20-day EMA (near $0.22) is beginning to slope down and the RSI sits just below neutral, giving bears a slight edge and increasing the risk of a break below $0.21 toward $0.19. This bearish view would be invalidated if DOGE sharply rebounds from $0.21 and breaks above the 50-day SMA (around $0.22), in which case price could range between $0.21 and $0.26 for a few days.
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano’s pullback was stalled at the 50-day SMA (about $0.82), but bears have continued selling pressure. ADA closed below the 50-day SMA, starting a move toward the descending channel’s support line. Buyers may defend that support, but any relief rally could face resistance at the 20-day EMA (near $0.84). A sharp rejection from the 20-day EMA would increase the likelihood of a drop to $0.68. To signal a sustained comeback, ADA needs to climb above the downtrend line and could then target $1.02.
Chainlink (LINK)
Chainlink dipped below the 20-day EMA (around $23.45), and bears prevented bulls from pushing price back above that level. Sellers may try to drive LINK toward $21.36 and the 50-day SMA (near $20.69). Buyers are likely to defend the 50-day SMA, since a break below it could pull LINK down to the uptrend line and prolong the correction. The first sign of renewed strength would be a close above the 20-day EMA; a sustained move past $27 would resume the uptrend.
