Zcash has led the retreat across the four majors covered in U.Today's October 5 analysis, while Bitcoin, Shiba Inu and Binance Coin sit on decisive support and resistance levels that could flip control to the bears.
Zcash cools off after September
Zcash is in its first real pullback after a September rally that took it to roughly $1,680, U.Today reports. The token now trades around $1,330. Over the past week it has lost about 20%, though it is still up more than 180% across three months.
The $1,280-$1,330 zone has attracted buyers several times. The daily RSI has slid back toward neutral after staying elevated through most of September, which means momentum is fading, not accelerating. A bounce needs to reclaim $1,400-$1,450 to stabilize.
Lose $1,280 cleanly and U.Today sees $1,150-$1,200 as the next stop, where a major moving average sits. One catalyst is already dated. The NU7 public testnet launches October 6, though its faster block times will not hit mainnet right away.
The open question: does $1,300 hold as a floor, or is it a pause before a deeper drop.
Bitcoin's $85,000 battleground
Bitcoin is holding a healthier structure. BTC consolidates around $85,000, above all major moving averages, with RSI above the midpoint, per U.Today's chart read. Its key resistance is $86,000-$87,000.
Buyers have entered that zone repeatedly but never forced a sustained breakout. A daily close above $87,000 would confirm the move and open $89,000-$90,000. On the downside, $83,000-$84,000 has held during consolidation, and losing that puts $82,000 in play.
U.Today frames Bitcoin's stance as clearly defined: stay above $82,000 and the bias remains bullish. Unlike ZEC, Bitcoin is not correcting from a vertical run. It is sideways near highs, so the next break of the $83,000-$87,000 range sets direction.
Shiba Inu tests long-term resistance
Shiba Inu trades around $0.00000570 after a late-September rally that briefly pushed above $0.00000620, U.Today says. The big story is the long-term moving average at $0.0000056-$0.0000057. It has capped SHIB for months.
A sustained move above it would meaningfully improve the chart. But momentum is thin. RSI sits in the mid-50s, not overbought, and volume dried up after the September surge.
First resistance runs $0.0000059-$0.0000060. Clear it and the September high near $0.0000062 comes back into view, then $0.0000065-$0.0000067. Support is $0.0000055, then a moving-average cluster at $0.0000052-$0.0000054.
Losing that cluster likely sends SHIB back toward $0.0000050. The setup is improving, but it still has to prove the breakout holds.
$800 remains the main BNB barrier
Binance Coin trades around $788 with the cleanest bullish structure of the four, according to U.Today. Higher highs and higher lows since a July bottom near $550. RSI around 60.
Above every major moving average. Resistance is the $795-$805 zone. BNB briefly poked above $800 in September but sellers pushed it back to $760.
Buyers defended that dip and now price is near highs again. A daily breakout above $805 would print a new higher high and target $820 first, with $850 possible if momentum expands, U.Today notes. Support is $765-$770, then the rising short-term average near $755.
Above $760 the structure favors another run at $800. Repeated rejections at $800 would tilt the market toward broader consolidation instead. The level to watch this week is Bitcoin's $87,000.
A daily close above it resolves the range to the upside; a slide through $83,000 hands the bears control the U.Today headline warns about.
