Bitcoin cash, chainlink and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price is down 2% and it settled below the USD 300 support. BCH is currently trading above the USD 285 support, below which the bears are likely to aim a larger decline towards the USD 262 and USD 260 levels. On the upside, previous supports near USD 300 and USD 305 could act as pivots in the coming sessions.
Chainlink (LINK) is currently consolidating above the USD 16.20 and USD 16.00 support levels. To start a decent upward move, the price must surpass the USD 16.80 and USD 17.00 resistance levels.

XRP price dived below the USD 0.288 and USD 0.285 support levels. It tested the USD 0.280 support and it is now back above USD 0.285. On the upside, the bulls are facing a major resistance near USD 0.291 and USD 0.292. A successful close above USD 0.292 is likely to open the doors for a break above USD 0.300.
