Bitcoin cash and ripple price
Bitcoin cash is under a lot of pressure and it is again down around 10% to USD 125. BCH declined below the USD 140 support recently and if sellers remain in action, the price could trade towards the USD 110 level.

Ripple price declined towards the USD 0.325 support area where buyers emerged. XRP/USD recovered and it is currently trading near USD 0.342, above which the price may test the USD 0.350 resistance.

The current price action is still bearish below USD 4,000 for bitcoin. Should buyers push BTC/USD above the USD 4,000 resistance, there could be a decent recovery. If not, the price is likely to slide again below USD 3,800 and USD 3,700. Likewise, ethereum price must settle above USD 100 and move above USD 110, USD 115 and USD 120. If buyers continue to struggle, ETH/USD may extend declines below USD 95 and USD 90.
