Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
After a failed upside attempt, bitcoin price resumed its decline below the USD 8,000 support. The recent decline was such that BTC/USD even broke the weekly low and traded to a new monthly low below USD 7,900. The next key support is near the USD 7,800 level, below which there is a risk of an extended decline towards the USD 7.650 level.
On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the USD 7,950 level. However, the main resistance is now near the USD 8,000 and USD 8,040 levels, above which the price could test USD 8,200.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price is under a lot of pressure and it is now trading well the USD 175 support area. If ETH/USD gains pace below USD 170, it is likely to continue its decline towards the USD 162 and USD 160 levels.
On the upside, the recent support near USD 175 may perhaps act as a resistance. A successful break above USD 175 might push the price towards the USD 180 and USD 182 levels.
