Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
After a rejection near USD 19,500, bitcoin price reacted to the downside. BTC broke the USD 19,000 support level to enter a short-term bearish zone. The price is approaching the USD 18,800 support and it seems like it could continue to move down towards the USD 18,500 support. Any more losses might call for a push towards USD 18,200.
On the upside, the previous support near USD 19,000 may possibly act as a resistance. The main resistance is still near the USD 19,500 level.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price followed a similar pattern and declined below the USD 600 support. ETH is down 3% and it is trading near the USD 590 level. An initial support is near USD 585, followed by USD 580. A downside break below USD 580 might call for a push towards the USD 570 level.
On the upside, the price could struggle to clear the USD 598 and USD 600 resistance levels. A close above USD 600 is a must to start a fresh increase towards USD 615 and USD 620.

Litecoin (LTC) is moving lower below the USD 86.50 support level. LTC is testing the USD 85.00 level and it could soon retest the USD 83.20 support. Any more losses might call for a push towards the USD 80.50 and USD 80.00 support levels. On the upside, the price might face resistance at USD 88.50.
XRP price declined heavily after it failed on many occasions to gain pace above the USD 0.635 level. The price is down over 5% and it traded below the USD 0.600 support. The next major support is at USD 0.575, below which the price might dive towards the USD 0.550 support.
