On the downside, an initial support is near USD 61,200. The first major support is near USD 60,500, below which the price could extend its decline in the near term.

Ethereum price also followed bitcoin and corrected lower below USD 4,200. ETH spiked below USD 4,000 and it is now recovering higher. The price is consolidating near USD 4,100 and it might start a fresh increase if there is a break above USD 4,175. The next key resistance is near USD 4,250.

An immediate support on the downside is near the USD 4,100 level. The first key support is now forming near the USD 4,020 level, below which the price could dive towards USD 3,800.

ADA, LTC, DOGE, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) settled below the USD 2.18 and USD 2.20 resistance levels. It is now consolidating near USD 2.12 and struggling to start a fresh increase. If there is a bearish reaction, the price might decline below the USD 2.08 support. The next major support is near the USD 2.00 level.

Litecoin (LTC) is down almost 3% and trading well below the USD 200 level. An initial support on the downside is near the USD 188 level. The first major support is near USD 185, below which the bears might aim a larger decline. Conversely, the price might start a fresh increase above the USD 195 level.

XRP price failed to stay above the USD 1.12 pivot level. It is now stuck near USD 1.10. The first key support is at USD 1.05. The main support is near USD 1.00. A downside break below USD 1.00 might call for a larger decline in the near term.
