On the downside, the USD 39,000 level is a short-term support. The first major support is near USD 38,500, below which the bears might aim for a test of the USD 37,500 level.

ADA, LTC, DOGE, and XRP price
Cardano (ADA) is moving higher and it is trading above the USD 1.35 level. The main hurdle is still near the USD 1.40 level. A clear break above the USD 1.40 level could set the pace for a larger increase. In this case, the price might rise towards the USD 1.50 level.
Litecoin (LTC) is back above the USD 140 level. An immediate resistance is near USD 142, but the first major resistance is near USD 145. The key breakout zone sits at USD 150, above which the bulls might push the price higher. If not, the price could revisit USD 125.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is attempting a recovery wave above the USD 0.200 level. The next key resistance is near the USD 0.208 level. Any more gains could lead the price towards the main USD 0.220 resistance zone. On the downside, the USD 0.192 is a decent support.
XRP price spiked below USD 0.700, but it remained well bid. It is now rising and trading above the USD 0.720 level. The first key resistance is near the USD 0.750 level. A proper close above the USD 0.750 level could set the pace for a larger increase in the coming sessions. The next stop could be USD 0.800 or even USD 0.825.
