ADA, LTC, DOGE, and XRP price
Cardano (ADA) is consolidating near the USD 2.12 level. If ADA gains pace for a move above the USD 2.15 level, it could revisit the key USD 2.20 resistance. To continue higher, the price must clear the USD 2.20 resistance. If not, the key breakdown support is near USD 2.02 and USD 2.00.
Litecoin (LTC) is up over 4% and it broke the USD 150 resistance. The next major resistance is near USD 155. A close above this level may possibly lead the price towards the USD 165 level. Conversely, the price could decline in a range towards the USD 140 level.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is attempting a recovery above the USD 0.202 level. An immediate resistance is near the USD 0.205 level. If there is a clear break above USD 0.205, the price could test the USD 0.212 pivot level. On the downside, the USD 0.200 level is a major support.
XRP price remained above USD 0.900 and managed to climb above the USD 0.950 resistance. It may test the USD 0.980 level, but the main hurdle is at USD 1.0. A close above this level is needed to start a steady increase in the near term.
Other altcoins market today

However, COMP is now recovering losses after it dropped below USD 290 earlier today.
Overall, bitcoin price is gaining pace above the USD 43,000 level. If BTC settles above USD 43,500, it could even attempt a move above the USD 44,000 level.
