Bitcoin price

Recently, bitcoin price surged above the key pivot level and resistance area at USD 7,350. It has opened the doors for more upsides above USD 7,400 and USD 7,500 levels. The price is now (09:00 UTC) trading near the USD 7,550 resistance, above which it could test USD 7,650.
The next major weekly resistance is seen near the USD 8,000 level, above which there is mostly an open space up to USD 8,500. On the downside, an initial support is near the USD 7,400 level. The main weekly support is seen near the USD 7,350 level.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price followed a bullish path and climbed above the key USD 135 resistance level. It has opened the doors for more gains in ETH/USD above the USD 138 and USD 140 resistance levels. The next major weekly resistance is near the USD 145 level.
On the downside, the previous resistance near the USD 135 and USD 132 levels may perhaps act as a support. If there is a downside break below the USD 130 weekly support, the price might turn bearish.

Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price

Bitcoin cash price is performing well and it broke the key USD 225 resistance area. BCH/USD is up more than 6% and it is now trading above the USD 235 level. The next hurdles are seen near USD 242 and USD 245. If there is a downside correction, the USD 225 level might provide support.
Litecoin is gaining bullish momentum above the USD 42.50 resistance area. LTC/USD is up around 5% and it approaching the USD 45.00 resistance level. A clear break above the USD 45.00 barrier could set the momentum for a push towards the USD 46.50 and USD 47.20 levels.
XRP price is slowly rising above the USD 0.195 resistance level. Having said that, XRP/USD must surpass the USD 0.200 resistance level to start a strong rise. The next major resistance levels are seen near USD 0.205 and USD 0.208. On the downside, there are supports near USD 0.192 and USD 0.190.

Overall, bitcoin price is trading in a bullish zone above the USD 7,400 level and it might continue to rise. A daily close above the USD 7,550 and USD 7,650 resistance levels may perhaps open the doors for more gains towards USD 8,000 and USD 8,200.
