Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
Recently, bitcoin price started a fresh increase above the USD 8,650 and USD 8,700 resistance levels. More importantly, BTC/USD surpassed the USD 8,850 resistance area and climbed to a new 2020 high. The price is currently showing a lot of positive signs and it seems like it could rise further towards the USD 9,250 and USD 9,300 levels.
On the downside, the USD 8,850 and USD 8,700 levels are likely to provide support. If there are more downsides, the price is likely to revisit the main USD 8,550 support area in the near term.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price is gaining bullish momentum from the USD 160 support. ETH/USD surged above the USD 166 and USD 170 resistance levels. It seems like the bulls are now aiming a clear break above the USD 175 and USD 178 levels in the coming sessions.
On the downside, the previous resistance near USD 166 is likely to act as a buy zone. If there is a fresh decline below USD 166, the bulls are likely to struggle to hold the USD 158 support.
Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price remained well bid above the USD 320 support area. BCH/USD is currently surging and trading above the USD 340 resistance. If there are more upsides, there are chances of a break above the USD 355 and USD 360 resistance levels. On the downside, the main supports are near USD 335 and USD 320.
Litecoin started a fresh upward move above the USD 58.50 and USD 59.20 resistance levels. LTC/USD is up around 8% and it is now trading above the USD 60.00 level. The next target for the bulls in the short term could be USD 62.20. On the downside, the USD 58.50 is a strong support.
XRP price regained bullish momentum and climbed above the USD 0.228 and USD 0.232 resistance levels. XRP/USD is likely to continue higher above USD 0.236 and USD 0.238. Besides, a clear break above USD 0.240 could start a solid rally towards USD 0.250.
