Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
After a strong decline, bitcoin price found support near USD 28,000. BTC climbed back above USD 30,000 and USD 31,000. On the upside, the first key resistance is near the USD 31,800 level. The main resistance is now forming near the USD 32,500 level, above which the price could revisit the USD 34,000 zone.
If there is a fresh decline, the price might find bids near the USD 30,200 level. Any more losses may possibly call for another test of the USD 28,000 support.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price remained well bid near USD 900 and it climbed sharply above USD 1,000. ETH even traded above USD 1,050, but it failed to settle above USD 1,100. It is again declining and struggling to stay above the USD 980 and USD 1,000 support levels. The next major support is near the USD 940 zone.
On the upside, the USD 1,050 level is a short-term resistance. The first major hurdle for the bulls is near the USD 1,100, followed by USD 1,120.
Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price is struggling to stay above the USD 400 support zone. If BCH breaks the USD 400 and USD 390 levels, there is a risk of a drop towards the USD 365 level. The next key buy zone could be near the USD 350 level. On the upside, an immediate resistance sits at USD 420, above which the price could rally towards USD 445.
Litecoin (LTC) is down over 4% and it is trading below the USD 155 support level. If LTC settles below USD 150 and USD 145, it could continue to move down towards the USD 132 and USD 130 support levels. Conversely, the bulls might attempt a fresh increase above the USD 160 and USD 165 levels.
XRP price is still trading in a broad range above the USD 0.212 and USD 0.208 support levels. If there is a downside break below the USD 0.208 support level, there are chances of a sharp decline. To start a strong increase, the price must clear USD 0.245 and USD 0.250 resistance levels.
