Bitcoin price
After a sharp decline, bitcoin price started a decent recovery wave above USD 30,500. BTC is gaining momentum above USD 31,200, but it might face resistance near USD 32,200 and USD 32,500. If there is a clear break above USD 32,500, there could be a test of the USD 33,000 resistance level.
If there is a fresh decline, the USD 31,200 support could provide support. The next major support is near the USD 30,500, where the bulls might take a stand.
“Tensions around an alleged Bitcoin double-spend combined with a generally insecure stance between BTC’s bears and bulls sent the currency teetering all the way down to USD 30,000. But what was perceived as an ill-natured manipulation was in fact a perfectly normative blockchain event, wherein the network functioned in accordance with its protocol – a clear as day sign that Bitcoin is, simply put, “doing just fine,” Antoni Trenchev, Co-founder and Managing Partner of major crypto lender Nexo, said in an emailed comment.
According to him, the broader outlook is promising for a shorter dip in prices and a BTC recovery.
“The new Biden administration has frozen all agency rulemaking, including a controversial proposal on “unhosted wallets.” Hand in hand with this comes BlackRock’s toe-dipping into crypto – another signal of the positive institutional interest dominating the “Bitcoin big picture,” he said, adding that “news like this is what we should be focusing on in our industry vs. bickering over false claims of double-spent BTC.”
Ethereum price
Ethereum price is recovering above USD 1,150 and USD 1,180. ETH is showing positive signs above USD 1,200 and it could continue to rise towards the USD 1,250 resistance zone. The next major resistance and a breakout zone could be near the USD 1,280 level.
If there is a fresh decline, the USD 1,180 level might provide support. The main support is now forming near USD 1,120, below which the price might resume its decline.

XRP price is correcting higher and it is now trading well above USD 0.265. The price is showing positive signs and it could rise towards the USD 0.285 and USD 0.288 levels.
