Bitcoin price

After another rejection near USD 10,450 bitcoin price started a downside correction. BTC/USD dipped below the USD 10,250 support, but there are many supports on the downside. The first key support is near the USD 10,050 and USD 10,000 levels. The next major support is near the USD 9,850 level.
On the upside, an initial resistance could be USD 10,350 level. The main hurdle for the bulls is still near USD 10,450 and USD 10,500, above which the price is likely to continue higher in the near term.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price extended its rise above the USD 260 and USD 270 resistance levels. ETH/USD traded to a new yearly high at USD 275 and it is currently (09:00 UTC) correcting lower. It broke the USD 265 support and it could continue to move down towards the USD 250 and USD 245 support levels.
On the upside, the USD 265 level might act as a short term resistance. A fresh increase above USD 265 and USD 270 will most likely open the doors for a new 2020 high above USD 275.

Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price

Bitcoin cash price jumped above the USD 475 resistance and traded to a new 2020 high at USD 485 before starting a downside correction.
