Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
There was an upside extension in bitcoin price above the USD 59,500 level. However, BTC bulls failed to lead the price for a test of the USD 60,000 resistance. A high was formed near USD 59,800 before the price started a downside correction. There was a break below the USD 59,000 level and it is now trading near the USD 58,000 support.
If there are more losses, there is a risk of a drop towards the USD 57,000 support zone. On the upside, the USD 58,800 level is a short-term resistance. The main resistance is now near USD 59,800 and USD 60,000.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price failed to settle above the USD 1,850 resistance and started a downside correction. ETH traded below USD 1,820 and it is consolidating near the USD 1,800 level. If there are more losses, the bears might test the USD 1,750 support.
Conversely, the price might start a fresh increase above the USD 1,820 and USD 1,825 levels. The key breakout zone is near USD 1,850, above which the price might rise towards USD 1,920.
BNB, ADA, litecoin, and XRP price
Binance Coin (BNB) is consolidating gains near the USD 295 and USD 300 levels. If there is a fresh decline, the bulls might take a stand near the USD 280 support zone. On the upside, the USD 315 level might act as a breakout zone.
Cardano (ADA) is still struggling to settle above the USD 1.220 resistance level. ADA is now trading below USD 1.200, with a major support at USD 1.165. On the upside, there could be a strong increase if there is a successful daily close above USD 1.220.
Litecoin (LTC) retreated once again from the USD 200 resistance. LTC is now trading near USD 190 and it might correct lower towards the USD 182 and USD 180 support levels. As long as there is no close above USD 200, there is a risk of a sharp bearish wave.
XRP price is struggling to settle above USD 0.550. To start a fresh increase towards the USD 0.600 resistance, the price must break the USD 0.565 resistance. On the downside, the next key support is at USD 0.520, below which the price might test USD 0.500.
