In the past two sessions, bitcoin price remained well bid above USD 13,000. BTC is trading above USD 13,100, but it is facing hurdles near the USD 13,250 and USD 13,300 levels. If there is a clear break above the USD 13,300 level, the price could rise towards the USD 13,500 level.
On the downside, an initial support is near the USD 13,050 level. The first key support is near the USD 13,000 level, below which the price could drop towards USD 12,750.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price struggled to gain momentum above the USD 408 and USD 410 levels. ETH/USD declined a few points and tested the USD 400 support. The price is holding the USD 400 support, but a break below the stated support could spark a strong decline.

Bitcoin cash, chainlink and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price is down close to 2% and it broke the USD 270 level. BCH is testing the USD 265 support level and it might continue to move down towards the USD 260 support zone. If there is a fresh increase, the bulls might face selling interest near the USD 270 and USD 272 levels.
