Bitcoin price

Recently, the bitcoin price started a minor recovery wave above the USD 21,000 level. BTC corrected above the USD 21,200 and USD 21,350 levels. It is now facing resistance near the USD 21,550 level. The next resistance is near the USD 21,650 level, above which the price might start a decent upward move. In the stated case, there could be a move towards the USD 22,000 resistance zone. Any more gains could send it to USD 22,500.

On the downside, an immediate support is near the USD 21,000 level. The next major support is near the USD 20,500 zone, below which the price could accelerate lower.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price started an upside correction above USD 1,580. ETH even climbed above the USD 1,600 and USD 1,620 levels. However, the bears defended the key USD 1,650 resistance zone. The next key resistance is near the USD 1,720 level, above which the price could start a steady increase.

On the downside, an initial support is near USD 1,580. The next major support is USD 1,550, below which price could start another decline. In the stated case, it might test USD 1,500.

ADA, BNB, SOL, DOGE, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) attempted an upside correction, but it failed near USD 0.465. The main resistance is still near the USD 0.475 and USD 0.480 levels, above which it might climb to USD 0.50.

BNB is facing a strong resistance near the USD 300 level. The next hurdle might be USD 305. A close above the USD 305 level may perhaps start a major increase in the coming sessions.

Solana (SOL) failed to gain pace above the USD 35.50 level. It is now consolidating near USD 35. If there is a downside break, the price might drop towards the USD 33.50 support.

DOGE faced strong resistance near the USD 0.070 zone. If it stays below USD 0.070, there is a risk of a fresh decline towards the USD 0.065 support zone.

XRP price is facing hurdles near the USD 0.35 resistance zone. If there is another decline, the price may move towards the USD 0.32 level.
