It’s been announced that President Trump has signed an executive order which establishes a Strategic Crypto Stockpile. $ETH, $XRP, $SOL, and $ADA have been mentioned as the four cryptocurrencies that it will consist of. How are these cryptocurrencies doing as regards price?
Should altcoins be included in a U.S. Digital Assets Reserve?
While there are many voices heard on social media as to the merit of the four cryptocurrencies that will potentially form part of a U.S. Strategic Crypto Stockpile, some are even questioning as to why there should even be one. One of those voices is Tyler Winklevoss, who stated his view on X that cryptocurrencies are not suitable for a Strategic Reserve.
That said, the U.S. government will either listen to voices such as Winklevoss, or Michael Saylor, who will be at the Crypto Summit later today, or it will submit to pressure and continue to back some of the major altcoins.
$ETH ready for rally

Looking at the daily chart for $ETH, it is all pretty much steady as she goes. It looks as though the second biggest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin may have found a bottom, and bulls might be gathering ready to send the price higher.
This bottom is formed by no less than the bull market trendline, together with major horizontal support. If these two were to fail, things could get very serious indeed. A bounce is certainly the most probable next move.
At the bottom of the chart is the RSI. The indicator line here is showing that the downtrend is still in force. However, the trendline will have to break at some point, and once it does, a rally will be in evidence.
$XRP breaks through descending trendline

The $XRP price has been in a range since the beginning of December 2024. This range has its low at $1.96, and the high at $2.90. While the price has generally been declining since the top at $3.40, the market surge of last Sunday did succeed in putting in a higher high.
Also, on Thursday, the price broke out of the descending trendline, and will have confirmed the breakout on Friday, if the price can stay above the trendline.
At the bottom of the chart, just as it is for $ETH, the RSI descending trendline remains to be broken to the upside. If this takes place, perhaps on good news later on Friday, a definitive break of the downtrend would be on course to happen.
Can $SOL avoid a confirmation of the breakdown?

The beautiful uptrend for $SOL may have been brutally broken by this week’s weekly candle. That said, this has still not been confirmed. A complete candle body will need to open below the trendline for this confirmation to be officially made.
So far the breakdown has been fought bravely by the $SOL bulls, with the price being bought all the way back up the previous week after it touched and confirmed the $127 major support.
If Friday’s meeting does result in bullish news for Solana, and a rally over the weekend does ensue, the breakdown confirmation can be avoided. The Stochastic RSI at the bottom of the chart is signalling that the indicator lines are at the bottom. When they rise, and pass the 20.00 level, stand by for big upside price momentum.
$ADA ready to break strong overhead resistance

$ADA is very much the weak link among the four cryptocurrencies. Down 71% since the all-time high of the last bull market, and with a major resistance rejecting the price since early December 2024, getting included in a Digital Assets Strategic Stockpile is just the tonic this altcoin needs.
The price has recently reconfirmed the support at $0.77, and with the Stochastic RSI looking as though it could rise through the 20.00 level, this could be the start of a strong rally that breaks the overhead resistance and goes much higher.
What happens if Friday’s meeting is a damp squib?
With all this said for the four cryptocurrencies about to be included in the U.S. Digital Assets Strategic Reserve, if Friday’s meeting does become a damp squib, look out for some more pain to the downside.
