Bitcoin and Altcoins Consolidating Losses Above Supports
Bitcoin price is currently consolidating above the USD 4,500 support. Ethereum and ripple are slowly recovering with positive moves. NEXO, LRC and GNT gained more than 10% today.
The past three sessions were mostly neutral as there were range moves above the USD 4,400 and USD 4,500 support levels in bitcoin price. BTC/USD rebounded a few points, but it struggled to break the USD 4,750 and USD 4,800 resistance levels. Similarly, there was a minor upside correction in ethereum price above the USD 130 and USD 132 levels. However, buyers failed to push the price above the USD 140 and 145 resistance levels. The current price action is positive and it seems like major cryptocurrencies could consolidate above supports in the short term before the next move.
Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
There was a decent upward move above the USD 4,600 level in bitcoin price . BTC/USD even traded above the USD 4,700 level. However, the price failed to surpass the USD 4,750 and USD 4,800 resistance levels. It is currently consolidating near USD 4,600 with a few positive moves.
On the downside, a break below USD 4,600 may push the price towards the USD 4,500 support area. The main support for the current wave is near USD 4,400, which is the lower end of the range.
