Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
In the past few hours, bitcoin price managed to gain traction as it broke the USD 3,980 and USD 4,000 resistance levels. BTC/USD is up around 0.5% and it seems like it could break the USD 4,025 resistance and revisit the USD 4,050 level. If there are further gains, the price may target the USD 4,100 level.
On the downside, the USD 4,000 and USD 3,980 levels are likely to act as supports. If buyers fail to retain strength, the price could decline back towards the USD 3,950 support.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price remained well bid above the USD 135 and USD 136 support levels. However, ETH/USD is facing a strong resistance near the USD 138 level, above which there are chances of a break above the USD 140 resistance level.
If sellers remain in action near USD 138 or USD 140, the price could revisit the USD 135 support. Any further losses may push the price into a bearish zone, with the next support at USD 130.

Bitcoin cash price started a downside correction below the USD 160 support. BCH/USD is currently down around 1% and it seems like it could test the USD 155 support level in the near term.
