Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
After a short term downside correction, bitcoin price found support near the USD 8,550 level. BTC/USD started a fresh upward move and it climbed above the USD 8,550 resistance level. If there is a proper close above the USD 9,000 pivot level, the bulls are likely to aim USD 9,200. To continue higher, the price must surpass the USD 9,200 resistance.
On the downside, the USD 8,850 level is likely to act as a support (the recent breakout zone). If there are more losses, bitcoin could revisit the USD 8,550 support.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price is also rising and trading above the USD 205 level. An initial hurdle for the ETH is near the USD 210 and USD 212 levels. If there is a clear break above USD 212, the price is likely to test the USD 220 resistance zone.
Conversely, the bulls might fail to push the price above USD 210. In this case, the price is likely to revisit the main USD 200 support zone.
Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price is consolidating in a broad range and it is approaching the USD 250 range resistance. If BCH/USD settles above USD 250, the price is likely to continue higher towards USD 265. If not, there are chances of a fresh decline back towards the USD 230 range support. The next key support is near the USD 220 level.
Litecoin managed to stay above the USD 45.00 and USD 44.50 support levels. LTC/USD is rising and it is trading above USD 46.50. The first key hurdle for the bulls is near the USD 48.50 level, above which the price is likely to revisit the USD 50.00 resistance zone.
XRP price is up more than 3% and it is showing positive signs above the USD 0.212 and USD 0.215 levels. An immediate resistance is near the USD 0.220 level, above which the price is likely to accelerate higher towards the USD 0.228 and USD 0.232 levels.
