Bitcoin price

After a downside break below USD 23,500, bitcoin price extended losses. However, the bulls defended the USD 22,500 level. The price is now trading in a range and still might rise above USD 23,000. An immediate resistance is near the USD 23,200 level. The next major resistance could be USD 23,500, above which the price could start a fresh increase.

If not, the price could drop further and trade below the USD 22,500 support. The next major support is near the USD 22,000 zone, below which the price could revisit USD 21,200.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price extended losses below the USD 1,500 support. ETH even spiked below USD 1,460 but remained above USD 1,450 and moved towards USD 1,490. ETH is down 7% in a day and up 34% in a week. On the upside, the price could face sellers near USD 1,520. The next major resistance is at USD 1,550, above which the price may perhaps revisit USD 1,600.

On the downside, the USD 1,450 level is a key support. A downside break below USD 1,450 could push the price towards USD 1,320.

ADA, BNB, SOL, DOGE, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) declined and settled below USD 0.50. It is now consolidating near USD 0.48, below which the price could test USD 0.465. The next major support is near USD 0.45.

Solana (SOL) tested the USD 40 support level. If there is a drop below the USD 40 support, the price might decline towards the USD 38 support zone. However, it could still rise and revisit USD 45.

DOGE declined below the USD 0.0700 support. It is now consolidating near USD 0.0680, below which the price might drop towards the USD 0.065 support. On the upside, USD 0.070 is a breakout zone.

XRP price is now consolidating near the USD 0.35 level. A downside break might send it towards USD 0.332. If not, there could be a fresh move towards USD 0.388.
