Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
In the past few hours, bitcoin price traded with a positive angle above the USD 11,350 and USD 11,400 levels. BTC even climbed above USD 11,500, but it struggled to continue above USD 11,600. It is currently consolidating near USD 11,500. To continue higher, the price needs to gain momentum above the USD 11,550 and USD 11,600 levels.
Conversely, the price might restart its downward move below the USD 11,400 level. The first major support is near the USD 11,200 level, below which the price might test the USD 11,000 level.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price gained over 6% and it traded above the USD 380 and USD 385 resistance levels. ETH even spiked above the USD 395 level, but it failed to clear the key USD 398 and USD 400 resistance levels. It is currently consolidating gains near USD 390 and it might test the USD 380 support.
On the upside, the price must surpass the USD 400 hurdle to continue higher. If the bulls succeed, the price could rise towards the USD 420 level in the near term.
Bitcoin cash, ADA and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price is down over 2% and it is now trading below the USD 280 support. It seems like BCH might continue to move down towards the USD 272 level. The main support is near the USD 265 level. Conversely, a proper close above the USD 285 level might lead the price towards the USD 300 resistance.
ADA started an upside correction from the USD 0.125 support and it recovered above USD 0.135. However, the previous support near USD 0.140 acted as a strong resistance (as discussed yesterday). The price is currently moving lower and declining towards the USD 0.135 and USD 0.132 support levels.
XRP price is facing a strong resistance near the USD 0.285 level. It is now trading below USD 0.280 and it might revisit the USD 0.272 support. Any further losses could accelerate the price towards the USD 0.265 level in the near term. To start a strong rally, the bulls need to gain strength above the USD 0.285 resistance.
Other altcoins market today
In the past three sessions, a few small altcoins surged more than 30%, including NMR, XDCE, ANT, SXP, WAVES, BTS, ALGO, IRIS, LINK and RLC. Overall, NMR climbed 150% and broke the USD 50.00 resistance.
Overall, bitcoin recovered recently, but it is struggling to gain pace above the key USD 11,500 and USD 11,600 resistance levels. As a result, there is a risk of a fresh decline towards USD 11,200.
