Bitcoin price

After a failed attempt near USD 45,000, bitcoin price started a fresh decline. BTC corrected lower below USD 44,000 and USD 43,500. The price even broke the USD 43,000 support to move into a short-term bearish zone. The next key support is near the USD 41,200 zone. A daily close below USD 41,200 could open the doors for a move towards the USD 40,000 level.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near the USD 43,000 level. The next major resistance is near USD 43,500, above which the price might start a fresh increase.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price started a sharp decline below the USD 3,000 support. ETH traded below the USD 2,920 and USD 2,800 support levels. If it fails to return above USD 2,800, there is a risk of a drop towards the USD 2,650 level. The next major support could be near the 2,500 level.

If there is a fresh increase, an immediate resistance is near the USD 2,880 level. The main hurdle could be USD 3,000, where the bears might take a stand.

ADA, LTC, DOGE, and XRP price

Litecoin (LTC) declined 10% and it broke the USD 150 support. The price even declined below USD 145 and it might continue to move down. The next major support is near USD 132, below which the price could accelerate lower towards the USD 110 level.

Dogecoin (DOGE) failed to stay above the USD 0.205 and USD 0.210 support levels. If there is a close below USD 0.200, the price might slide towards the USD 0.188 level. The next major support is at USD 0.180. On the upside, the USD 0.212 level is a key resistance.

XRP price is down 9% and it settled below the USD 0.950 level. There was a clear break below USD 0.920, opening the doors for more losses. The next key support is at USD 0.850, below which the price might decline further in the coming sessions.
