Bitcoin price
There was an upward move in bitcoin price above the USD 6,600 resistance level. BTC/USD climbed higher and broke the USD 6,650 resistance as well. However, buyers struggled to keep the price above the USD 6,700 level, resulting in a downside correction.

On the upside, a proper close above the USD 230 resistance is needed for a push above the USD 235 and 240 levels. On the downside, the USD 225 level is an initial support, followed by the USD 220 level.
Bitcoin cash and ripple price
Bitcoin cash price did not perform well and remained in a tight range above the USD 520 support. BCH/USD must break the USD 540 resistance for an upward move in the near term. On the downside, below USD 520, the price could test the USD 500 support in the near term.
Ripple price started an upside correction from the USD 0.470 support. However, XRP/USD is facing a lot of resistance near the USD 0.490 and USD 0.500 levels. The main support on the downside awaits near the USD 0.465 level.
