Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
BTC has remained in a range between USD 28,800 and USD 29,800 on Wednesday, and is currently moving higher above the key USD 30,000 level. A clear break above that level would mean the next resistance to the upside is around USD 31,300, which represented the market top on May 15 and 16.
On the downside, BTC has support around today’s lows at USD 28,700, while further support exists around the lows from May 12 at USD 27,000.
Ethereum price
ETH has found support just north of the USD 1,900 level, but like BTC it still has a way to go before reaching the highs from earlier in the week. ETH moved to USD 2,020 and is up 3% in a day and down 3% in a week. To the upside, ETH faces resistance around Sunday’s market peak at USD 2,150, while downside support can be found at around USD 1,900.
If ETH falls below USD 1,900, the next logical support area would be the low from May 12 around USD 1,800, about 9% below the current price.
ADA, BNB, SOL, DOGE, and XRP price
Cardano (ADA) rose from the USD 0.5 daily candle close on the chart yesterday, to USD 0.54 at the time of writing. The token has support at the daily low around USD 0.49, and upside resistance at USD 0.57 and USD 0.60.
