Leading trading broker, OANDA, released a report on the top five volatile cryptocurrencies in 2025. This technical analysis on Bitcoin, Ripple, Monero, Solana, and Ether provides the company’s clients with insights into the crypto market performance in the last six months. With this analysis, traders can explore a more diversified investment portfolio that includes crypto assets.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Since hitting a 103% increase between September and December 2024, BTC has sustained a bullish momentum in the first half of 2025. The world’s premier crypto gained 18.37% Year-to-Date in May 2025 and has a market cap of over $2.1 trillion.
OANDA’s TradingView charts show key price levels on BTC, including support at $102,000 to $104,000, $93,000 to $96,000, and $87,500 to $89,500. Price action traders can also find the 2025 monthly lows around $74,420. BTC’s primary resistance is $105,oo0, and $111,000.
BTC experienced a massive rally in May, reaching a new all-time high of $112,000 as institutional adoption continued to grow. OANDA’s BTC analysis suggests an eventful H2.
Ripple (XRP)
XRP’s growth in 2025 is spectacular, considering the long-term battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which kept XRP below $0.75 from 2022 to 2024. The crypto picked up in October 2024 and has become one of the top-performing coins in 2025.
The post-US election crypto rally pushed XRP price from $0.50 to a new all-time high of $3.39, marking a 570% increase in two months. Our analysts consider XRP support levels at $1.61, between $1.28 and $1.29, and $1.00 to $1.03.
XRP price movement in the next few months depends on XRP’s potential as a payment facilitator. Positive developments in the Ripple ecosystem are vital to the development and adoption in 2025.
Monero (XMR)
XMR’s 110.18% gain in the first quarter of 2025 is surprising for the right reasons. Privacy-focused crypto will see increased demand in 2025. XMR hit its all-time high of $520 in 2021 before falling below $150 in mid-2022 until November 2024.
The bull season pushed XMR higher, bringing the price above $350. The crypto hit a $5.9 billion market cap in May 2025, pushing the price up 81.21% in the last year. Monero’s chart shows three potential support levels: $330 to $350, $265 to $280, and $240 to $250. The resistance levels are $410 to $420, $440 to $450, and $460 to $470.
Solana (SOL)
The Solana ecosystem experienced an increase in on-chain activities and adoption of Solana-based projects. This is a significant reason for the more than 200% year-to-date gain on SOL by May 2025. SOL maintained the bullish momentum into Q1 2025 before losing more than 15%.
With a market cap above $70 billion, SOL experienced two consecutive rallies between November 2024 and February 2025. This pushed the price to new four-year highs above $210. From OANDA’s technical analysis, the key levels on SOL charts include: $150 to 160, $125 to $132, and between 200 and 255.
Ether (ETH)
The world’s second-largest crypto, Ether, failed to sustain the initial momentum gained in December 2024 and has underperformed this year. ETH trades around $2,640.25, 45% lower than the all-time high of $4,891.70.
ETH charts on OANDA show key support levels at $2,385 to $2,525, $2,035 to $2,167, and $1425 to $1500. The resistance levels are at $4095, $3,225 to $3,363, and $3,660 to $3,800$.
Traders will question Ethereum despite it being the most-used blockchain in 2025. Running smart contracts, NFTs, DeFi, and other blockchain-based applications at scale benefits Ethereum in the long term. ETH is one to watch as DeFi adoption increases.
Why Crypto Is Volatile in 2025
Since November, the most significant events driving crypto traders’ sentiments center around institutional demand and the US government’s pro-crypto policies. Traders reacted by stacking up Bitcoin and altcoins in preparation for a bull run, following US President Donald Trump’s victory at the polls.
Although Trump’s Strategic Crypto Reserve plan had a limited impact on the market, institutional demand, especially for Bitcoin, pushed prices higher. ETF and spot inflows fuelled waves of confidence in crypto markets, with Strategy, BlackRock, and ARK Invest intensifying purchases.
Fiat inflationary pressure also contributes to crypto market volatility. The ongoing trade wars between China and the US and tariffs on US trading partners have heightened demand for safe investments away from the US dollar.
