Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
After forming a support base near USD 18,500, bitcoin price started a recovery wave. BTC climbed above the USD 18,800 and USD 19,000 resistance levels. It even broke USD 19,200, but struggled to continue higher. The price is consolidating above USD 18,800, below which it might find support near USD 18,500.
If there is a fresh increase, the price could gain momentum above the USD 19,000 level. The next key resistance is at USD 19,200. A clear break above USD 19,200 may possibly call for a surge towards USD 19,500.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price remained well bid above the USD 575 and USD 580 levels. ETH climbed above the USD 595 resistance and it even made an attempt to settle above USD 600. However, the bulls seem to be facing a strong selling interest near USD 600 and USD 605.
On the downside, the price might remain stable above the USD 580 support. A close below USD 580 might lead the price towards the USD 550 support level.
Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price is rising steadily towards the USD 295 and USD 300 resistance levels. To start a strong increase, the price must settle above the USD 300 resistance. Conversely, dips towards the USD 280 level could find a solid buying interest. The next major support sits near the USD 272 level.
Litecoin (LTC) is up over 7% and it climbed sharply above the USD 86.50 resistance. LTC even broke the USD 88.50 level, but it struggled to surpass USD 90.00. The price is trading above USD 86.50 and it seems like the bulls might make another attempt to clear the USD 90.00 resistance in the near term.
XRP price is trading well above the USD 0.600 support level. There was a break above the USD 0.615 and USD 0.620 levels before a minor decline. The price is again rising and it could clear the USD 0.620 resistance. The main resistance is now near USD 0.630, above which the price could rise towards the USD 0.655 level.
