Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
In the two sessions, bitcoin price followed a bullish path above the USD 10,650 support. BTC broke the USD 10,800 resistance and it is showing positive signs. However, the bulls are still facing a heavy resistance near USD 10,950 and USD 11,000, above which the price might accelerate higher.
If there is no upside break above USD 11,000, there could be a fresh downward move. The first major support is near the USD 10,650, followed by the key USD 10,550 support.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price is slowly rising from the USD 355 support, similar to bitcoin. ETH broke the USD 360 resistance and it seems like the bulls might push the price above the USD 365 resistance. The next major resistance could be USD 375.
If they fail to clear the USD 365 resistance, there might be a bearish reaction. The main support on the downside is still near the USD 355 level, below which it could dive towards the USD 335 level.
Bitcoin cash, chainlink and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price is attempting an upside break above the USD 230 resistance. The next key resistance is near the USD 235 level, above which the price may perhaps rise steadily towards the USD 250 resistance. If there is no clear break above the USD 235 resistance, it could move down in the range and revisit the USD 220 support.
Chainlink (LINK) is recovering from the USD 9.50 zone and it is now trading above the USD 10.00 level. The price is consolidating near USD 10.20 and it seems like the bulls might attempt a clear break above the USD 10.50 resistance. If they fail, there is a risk of a fresh decline below the USD 10.00 support.
XRP price spiked below USD 0.240, but it managed to recover higher. The price is currently trading near the USD 0.242 pivot level and it might rise towards the key USD 0.245 resistance zone. A clear break above the USD 0.245 resistance might open the doors for a larger increase in the near term.
