Bitcoin price

After a minor downside correction, bitcoin price found support near the USD 4,000 level. BCT/USD climbed higher once again and broke the USD 4,025 and USD 4,040 resistance levels. It even traded to a new weekly high above USD 4,050, but sellers protected the USD 4,060 – USD 4,070 resistance area.
The price is currently consolidating gains and if there is a downside correction, the USD 4,025 and USD 4,000 levels are likely to act as supports. On the upside, a convincing break above the USD 4,060 – USD 4,070 resistance area may perhaps clear the path for more upsides towards USD 4,100 and USD 4,150.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price corrected lower and tested the key USD 136 support area. ETH/USD bounced back above the USD 138 resistance and it is currently moving higher.
The price may perhaps test the USD 140 resistance in the near term. If buyers remain in control and clear the USD 140 resistance, ether buyers could aim the USD 145 and USD 148 resistance levels.

Bitcoin cash, eos and ripple price

Bitcoin cash price resumed its upward move and traded above the USD 168 resistance. BCH/USD is currently up more than 1% and it seems like the price might accelerate above the USD 170 and USD 172 resistance levels in the near term. On the downside, the main support for buyers is near USD 165.
EOS corrected a few points after a strong rally towards the USD 4.35 level. The price is currently trading near the USD 4.20 level, with the next key support near the USD 4.15 level. On the upside, there are hurdles near USD 4.30 and USD 4.35.
Ripple price found support near the USD 0.305 level and later started a fresh upward move. XRP/USD traded above the USD 0.306 and USD 0.307 levels, with a bullish bias. On the upside, there is a strong resistance waiting near USD 0.310.
