After a successful close above USD 32,500, bitcoin price gained bullish momentum above the USD 33,200 and USD 33,500 resistance levels. BTC rallied over 12% and it even broke the USD 35,000 resistance. A new all-time high was formed near USD 35,750 and the price is currently consolidating around USD 35,000. If there are more upsides, the price could continue to rise towards the USD 36,000 and USD 36,800 levels.
On the downside, an initial support is near the USD 34,500 level (the previous swing high zone). The next major support seems to be forming near USD 33,800.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price followed bitcoin and gained pace above the USD 1,000 and USD 1,020 resistance levels. ETH even cleared USD 1,100 and it is showing bullish signs. A close above the USD 1,140 and USD 1,150 levels might clear the path for a move towards the USD 1,200 and USD 1,220 levels.
If there is a downside correction, the price could find bids near the USD 1,080 and USD 1,050 levels. The main support is now forming near the USD 1,000 level.
Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price remained stable above USD 400 and it started a steady increase above the USD 420 resistance. BCH is trading above the USD 425 level and it could attempt a break above the USD 432 resistance. If there is a close above USD 432, the next key stop for the bulls may possibly be near the USD 450 level.
Litecoin (LTC) is up over 8% and it broke the USD 158 and USD 160 resistance levels. LTC is now trading comfortably above USD 160 and it might extend its rise towards the USD 168 and USD 170 levels. Any more gains might lead the price towards the USD 185 level.
XRP price is underperforming and it is struggling to gain momentum above USD 0.235. The main breakout resistance is still near the USD 0.250 level. As long as the price is below USD 0.250, there is a risk of a larger decline in the coming sessions.
