On the upside, the BTC price is facing resistance near $19,000. The next major resistance is now near the $19,350 level and a connecting bearish trend line on the hourly chart, above which the price might test the 50-hour simple moving average.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price struggled to clear the $1,480 and $1,500 resistance levels. ETH declined heavily below the $1,400 level and the 50-hour simple moving average. It even broke the $1,320 level and tested the $1,280 support. The next major support is $1,250, below which price could revisit $1,200.

On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $1,325 level. The next major resistance is now forming near the $1,350 level.

ADA, BNB, SOL, DOGE, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) failed to clear the $0.50 resistance zone. It reacted to the downside and traded below $0.450. Any more losses might send the price towards the $0.42 support.

BNB is down over 5% and there was a move below the $265 support zone. The next major support sits at $250, below which there is a risk of a move towards the $232 level in the near term.

Solana (SOL) is again moving lower towards the $30.00 support. If the bears remain in action, the price could even test the $28.50 level. Conversely, it might rise and test the $32.50 resistance.

DOGE traded below the key $0.060 support level. It is now down over 7% and the next major support is near the $0.0550 level. Any more losses might send the price towards the $0.0535 level in the coming sessions.

XRP price is moving lower towards the $0.335 support zone. If the bulls fail to protect the $0.335 support zone, there is a risk of a move towards the $0.320 level.

Many altcoins are down over 12%, including ETC, EOS, RVN, CRV, CEL, KSM, LDO, WAVES, AR, SNX, NEAR, and FLOW. Conversely, CHZ is up over 5% and showing positive signs above the $0.23 level.

Crypto token presale Tamadoge hit its hard cap today, a bullish sign for the new meme coin.

Overall, the bitcoin price is gaining bearish momentum below the $19,000 level. If BTC slides further, there is a risk of a move towards the $17,800 level in the short-term.
