Bitcoin price

After a minor downside correction, bitcoin price found support near the USD 58,500 zone. BTC formed a base and started a fresh increase above the USD 60,000 resistance. The price remained attractive and was able to surpass the USD 62,000 resistance. It is now facing resistance near the USD 62,500 level. The next major resistance is near USD 63,500, above which the price could surge towards the USD 65,000 level.

On the downside, an initial support is near USD 61,200. The next major support is near USD 60,500, below which the price might struggle to stay above USD 60,000.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price was able to gain strength above the USD 3,800 resistance. ETH surpassed the USD 3,850 level, but it failed to stay above USD 3,900. It seems to be facing resistance near the USD 3,920 level. Any more gains could set the pace for a move towards the USD 4,000 level.

ADA, LTC, DOGE, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) spiked above the USD 2.15 level, but it failed to clear the USD 2.20 resistance. The price is now consolidating above the USD 2.12 level. If there is an upside break above USD 2.20, the price could accelerate higher. On the downside, the bulls might remain active near USD 2.05.

Litecoin (LTC) was able to clear the USD 185 resistance zone. However, the bulls failed to gain strength above the USD 188 resistance zone. A clear break above this zone could open the doors for a larger increase. The next stop for the bulls may possibly be near USD 200.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is consolidating above the USD 0.232 level. An immediate resistance is near the USD 0.242 level. The main resistance is near USD 0.250. A clear break above this level could set the pace for a larger increase. In this case, the price might rise towards USD 0.300.
