Ethereum price
Ethereum price spiked below the USD 1,600 level on a couple of occasions before recovering higher. ETH is trading above USD 1,620, with an initial resistance at USD 1,650. A clear break above USD 1,650, with a follow-up move above USD 1,660 might open the doors for a steady rise towards USD 1,700 or even higher.
If there is another decline, the USD 1,600 could provide support. A daily close below USD 1,600 may perhaps spark a downside correction towards USD 1,500 or even US 1,450.
Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price is stable above the USD 425 support level. However, BCH is struggling to gain momentum above USD 440 and USD 450. A daily close above the USD 450 level may possibly start a strong increase towards the USD 500 barrier. Conversely, a break below USD 425 might push the price towards the USD 400 support.
Litecoin (LTC) struggled to stay above USD 150 and it is currently moving lower. An initial support is near the USD 145 level. The first major support is near the USD 142 level, below which LTC might slide towards USD 135. On the upside, the bulls need to gain strength above USD 150 and USD 152 for a sustained increase.
XRP price is up over 15%, and it outperformed bitcoin and ethereum. The price is now trading well above USD 0.440 and it is facing resistance near USD 0.450. If there are more gains, the price could rise steadily towards the USD 0.500 level in the near term.
