Crypto Price Analysis August-14: ETH, XRP, ADA, BNB, and HYPE

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

Ethereum (ETH)

This week, Ethereum hugged the key support at $1,800 with a minor loss of 2%. While this puts sellers in a more favorable position, they will need to break the support if they want to take the initiative.

The current ETH price action shows significant weakness after forming a lower high just below $2,000. Buyers were not able to claim that level as support; this is why bears are returning.

Looking ahead, Ethereum will likely test $1,800 again. If that level fails to hold, this cryptocurrency may revisit the support at $1,500, where buyers finally returned in early July.

Ripple (XRP)

XRP has had a difficult week, struggling to hold above $1. The price also fell by nearly 3% and is inches away from turning $1 into a key resistance. All it takes is one more push by sellers.

If $1 becomes resistance, this will only prolong the current downtrend, which started in August 2025. Since this is also a major psychological level, any loss of support will be costly and see buyers retreat much lower, with the next key support level at $0.80.

Looking ahead, this cryptocurrency has a very low chance of reversing its current downtrend, especially after the price fell from two identical pennants. This only reconfirmed that bears are in total control over the price.
