Ethereum

Ethereum spent the past 24 hours trying to establish a price above the $168 support level. However, the latest push down broke the level, and ETH went below $168. It looks like the second-largest crypto will retest at least the $158 level, if not more.


Ethereum’s volume skyrocketed during the price drop, while its RSI level is at 46.

Ripple

XRP spent the past couple of days fighting to stay above $0.2. However, the tight range between $0.2 and $0.205 was not enough for XRP, so the price had to move somewhere. A slight increase in bearish presence brought the price down to rested the $0.19 levels and solidified XRP’s position below $0.2. The level seems to be holding up nicely so far, which means that $0.19 will not fall unless the volume increases dramatically.


XRP’s RSI level has been dropping for the past couple of days, now being at 45.
