There was a sharp rebound in bitcoin price from the USD 5,750 support level. BTC/USD broke many resistances near USD 5,850 to settle above the USD 6,000 resistance area. The upward move was strong, as the price even broke the last swing high and traded to a new 2019 above USD 6,100.
The price traded close to the USD 6,140 level on Binance and it is currently consolidating gains. An immediate support is at USD 6,080, below which the price may test the USD 6,020 support level. On the upside, the main hurdles are near USD 6,180 and USD 6,200.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price moved back above the USD 170 support level and it is currently consolidating in a range. An immediate resistance is at USD 172, above which the price might test the USD 175 resistance area.

Bitcoin cash, eos and ripple price

EOS is facing a strong resistance near the USD 4.95 and USD 5.00 resistance levels. The price might correct in the short term, but the USD 4.80 level is likely to provide support and act as a buy zone.
