With the recent slide in the $BTC price, many investors and traders are probably fearful. However, this could be the time to go long. The bigger and safer plays are $ETH, $BNB, and $SOL. Will they see a bounce?
Is this the time to buy?
Bitcoin has just lost $6,000 in only 48 hours, and market sentiment is fearful. The Fear and Greed Index dipped back into a Fear value of 30, and this after a Neutral value of 48 only the previous day. Is this the time to buy?
Could $ETH repeat its previous 30% gain?

Looking at the short term 4-hour chart for $ETH, it can be noted that the number two cryptocurrency by market capitalization did even worse than $BTC over the same 48 hour period. $ETH recorded a loss of 13% compared with $BTC’s 9.6%.
This took the $ETH price down almost to the 0.618 fibonacci, where the start of a potential bounce has taken place. Looking at the Stochastic RSI, short term momentum is about to be confirmed, while on the RSI, a very oversold reading is showing. If one looks back to the last time this was the case, in the early August Japanese stock market crash, the $ETH price rocketed more than 30% over the next several days.
$BNB reaches confluent supports

Binance Coin (BNB) is the next biggest cryptocurrency behind $ETH (disregarding $USDT). It can be seen in the daily chart above that $BNB has retested the breakout of the triangle, and is bouncing from there. A wick down to the 0.382 fibonacci is very bullish, should this bounce continue.
Upside targets for $BNB are the top of the last high at $599, which coincides with the 0.618 fibonacci, and then horizontal resistance at $632, before the 0.786 fibonacci at $653. The all-time high isn’t far above at $722.
$SOL must break the downward trend

The $SOL price is in a tall range stretching from $126 up to $202. The latest downturn brought the $SOL price back to $143, which was a perfect touch of the upward trend line and the 0.382 fibonacci. $SOL has some work to do now, in order to reverse the series of 3 lower highs. The last high was rejected at the midpoint of the range (dashed blue line).

Zooming out on the same daily time frame, it can be observed that the last high made another touch point on a downward trend line, which began back on 1 April. If $SOL can head back to the trend line, a breakout could coincide with the midpoint of the range. If this were successful, a continuation back to the top of the range could be forthcoming. That said, this could be the formation of a descending triangle, which is a bearish chart pattern. Therefore, an upside breakout is critical to maintaining $SOL’s bullish trajectory.
