Bitcoin price

Bitcoin price formed a solid technical structure above the USD 6,400 support and started climbing towards USD 6,700. BTC/USD gained traction, broke the USD 6,700 resistance, and registered gains more than 4%.
On the upside, there is a significant resistance near the USD 6,800 level. Above this, bitcoin buyers will most likely attempt to surpass the USD 7,000 hurdle. On the downside, the previous resistances near USD 6,600 and USD 6,500 are likely to act as supports if the price corrects lower.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price finally managed to gain strength above the USD 215 resistance. ETH/USD gained more than 8% and tested the next resistance at USD 230. Above this, the price may climb towards the USD 240 level.
If there is a downside correction, the broken resistance at USD 215 could act as a strong support for buyers in the near term.

Bitcoin cash and ripple price

Bitcoin cash price traded further higher above yesterday’s high and climbed above the USD 575 level. BCH/USD is currently (UTC 08:30 AM) correcting lower towards the USD 540 support. Below this, the USD 520 level could stop the downside correction. On the upside, the USD 560 and USD 575 levels are immediate hurdles for buyers.
Ripple price recovered and moved back above the USD 0.520 level. XRP/USD seems to be facing a lot of hurdles near the USD 0.540 and USD 0.550 resistances. Above these, the price could rally towards the USD 0.620 level.
