Crypto Price Analysis August-28: ETH, XRP, ADA, BNB, and HYPE

This Friday, we examine Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Binance Coin, and Hyperliquid in greater detail.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum closed another week in the green after pushing above $2,400, ending 6% higher. If buyers manage to hold this key support level, higher highs may continue.

Bulls should do their best to consolidate their recent gains after the massive rally from the $1,500 level. To achieve this, defending $2,400 as support is key. The current resistance is at $2,800.

Looking ahead, this is the first time since 2025 that ETH has made a higher high. This halts the downtrend and positions this cryptocurrency for a sustained rally. The question is how far bulls can take it before they show signs of weakness.

Ripple (XRP)

After XRP pumped to $1.6, the price entered a pullback, which is still ongoing at the time of this post. Nevertheless, this cryptocurrency closed the week 9% higher. This recent performance is impressive and a significant change in the market structure.

With a higher high secured, XRP could be consolidating between the key support at $1.3 and the resistance at $1.6. Once the price settles, a renewed push higher could follow, sending XRP back into a rally.

Looking ahead, the most significant target, at this time, is $2. For that to happen, XRP will need to turn $1.6 into a support first. The odds favor this outcome considering that buyers have the advantage right now.
