Bitcoin price started a recovery after forming a support base above USD 10,000. Ethereum climbed above the USD 225 resistance and ripple price recovered above USD 0.311. UUU and ICX gained more than 25% today.

There was a significant decline in bitcoin and altcoins in the past three days. BTC/USD even tested the USD 9,800 level and recently formed a support base near USD 10,000. As a result, the price started an upside correction and broke the USD 10,400 and USD 10,600 resistance levels. Similarly, there was a rebound in ethereum, ripple, bitcoin cash, EOS and litecoin. ETH/USD broke the USD 225 resistance level and XRP/USD managed to settle above the key USD 0.310 resistance level. However, BTC/USD must gain momentum above USD 11,000. If not, there is a risk of a fresh decline in the near term.

After a significant drop in bitcoin price , sellers struggled to push the price further lower below USD 9,800. Later, BTC/USD formed a support above USD 10,000 and started an upside correction above USD 10,400.
