Crypto Price Prediction: The Easter holiday triggered a minor uptick in the cryptocurrency market with the leading assets Bitcoin and Ethereum witnessing a jump of 1-3%. This week has been high volatility for a majority of major cryptocurrencies creating a narrow range as a sign of no clear dominance of buyers and sellers.

However, this consolidation is likely to shift to an uptrend continuation as the coming month, April, is scheduled for the most-awaited crypto event Bitcoin halving. This development coupled with a positive inflow into Spot BTC ETFs could accelerate the Bitcoin demand and broader market sentiment.

Ethereum stands as a decentralized platform that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps) to be built and operated without any downtime, fraud, control, or interference from a third party.

Amid the current market consolidation, the ETH price resonates in a narrow range from $3675 to $3470. While the lateral movement initially reflected investors’ uncertainty, the 4-hour chart revealed it as part of an inverted head and shoulder pattern.

The ETH price currently trades at $3610 with an intraday gain of 2.9%. The market capitalization of Ethereum is currently valued at $433 billion, with a trading volume of $10.18 billion recorded over the past 24 hours.

Under the influence of chart patterns, the Ethereum price could breach the neckline resistance, providing buyers with a suitable springboard to chase the $4300 target.

2) XRP

XRP, the digital asset from Ripple, is designed for fast and inexpensive cross-border payments, distinguishing itself with its low transaction fees and quick settlement times. 

Over the past two weeks, the XRP price has been wavering in uncertainty evidenced by the narrow range formation and rejection candles on either end. However, consolidation hovering above a 2-month-long trendline indicates the buyers maintain a steady uptrend.

Currently, XRP holds a market capitalization of $34.3 billion, ranking it as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. If the market witnessed a renewed bullish sentiment, the XRP price could breach the overhead barrier of $0.667, and rechallenge the $0.744 high.

On a contrary note, a breakdown below the pattern’s lower trendline will trigger a significant correction in this altcoin.
