Bitcoin price

Recently, bitcoin price saw bearish moves below the USD 57,500 level. However, BTC stayed above the key USD 55,500 support level. An immediate support is now near USD 55,800. The first major support is near USD 55,500, below which the bears might gain strength. In this case, there is a risk of a move towards USD 52,000.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near USD 57,500. The next major resistance is near the USD 58,500 level, above which the price could start an increase to USD 60,000.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price is struggling to start a recovery wave above the USD 4,200 and USD 4,250 resistance levels. ETH is now consolidating above the USD 4,120 support. The next major support is near USD 4,050, below which the price could even struggle to stay above USD 4,000.

If there is a steady increase, the price might face resistance near the USD 4,250 level. A close above USD 4,250 could push the price towards USD 4,350.

ADA, BNB, SOL, SHIB, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) settled below the USD 1.80 level. The price is trading above the USD 1.75 support, below which it could extend losses. The next major support is at USD 1.60. On the upside, the price might face hurdles near the USD 1.85 level.

Binance coin (BNB) is still above the USD 550 support level. It is rising and approaching the USD 580 level. The next hurdle is near USD 585, above which the price might test USD 600.

Solana (SOL) is struggling to settle above USD 220. It is correcting gains and heading towards USD 210. The next major support is USD 205, followed by USD 200. A bearish reaction below USD 200 may perhaps bring additional losses.

SHIB is down 5% and trading below the USD 0.000045 level. An immediate support is near the USD 0.0000425 level. The next major support is near the USD 0.0000400 level, below which the price could accelerate downsides in the short-term.

XRP price attempted a close above USD 1.05 and USD 1.065, but failed. It is stuck in a range above the USD 1.02 level. The main support is still USD 1.00, below which the bears might gain strength.

To sum up, bitcoin price is still above the USD 55,500 support. However, there is still risk of a downside break below USD 55,500 and USD 55,000.
