Price predictions 4/17: BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL and more

Bitcoin pole-vaulted to $78,000 and altcoins soared after Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was fully open, Cointelegraph writes in its daily technical piece. Will bulls sustain momentum? The analysts flag $80,000 as the next BTC resistance, with $82,500 as the full breakout level. ETH faces resistance at $3,200, XRP at $2.85, and SOL at $185. The piece sees short-term follow-through as probable but notes elevated leverage — $820M liquidated in 24h — increases reversal risk if macro headlines shift.
