ADA, BNB, SOL, DOGE, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) failed to clear the $0.50 resistance zone. It reacted to the downside and traded below $0.450. Any more losses might send the price towards the $0.42 support.

BNB is down over 5% and there was a move below the $265 support zone. The next major support sits at $250, below which there is a risk of a move towards the $232 level in the near term.

Solana (SOL) is again moving lower towards the $30.00 support. If the bears remain in action, the price could even test the $28.50 level. Conversely, it might rise and test the $32.50 resistance.

DOGE traded below the key $0.060 support level. It is now down over 7% and the next major support is near the $0.0550 level. Any more losses might send the price towards the $0.0535 level in the coming sessions.

XRP price is moving lower towards the $0.335 support zone. If the bulls fail to protect the $0.335 support zone, there is a risk of a move towards the $0.320 level.
