Technical analysis

Bitcoin

Bitcoin bulls pushed to reach new highs all throughout the weekend. The price went far above the resistance line of $6,850 three times, but came back quickly the past 2 times. This is the third time that its price has crossed the resistance. However, all three times, there wasn’t enough buying power to reach above $7,085. If Bitcoin doesn’t hold its gains, bears might get courageous and attack the downside.

Bitcoin’s volume increased compared to the previous week, while its RSI level on the 4-hour chart is 65.

Ethereum

Ethereum followed Bitcoin in its jump up and even outperformed it. The second-largest cryptocurrency passed its $139 resistance level (for the first time, unlike Bitcoin passing through for the third time) and reached the level of $151. However, that level was quickly denied. Ethereum is still fighting to stay above this (now) support line as it enters the overbought territory.

Ethereum’s volume increased during the spike, while its RSI is currently in the overbought territory (at the value of 72).

Ripple

Even though XRP was the cryptocurrency that gained the least out of the top3, it still performed extremely well. XRP spent the weekend consolidating and preparing for a move, which is now happening. The third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap is reaching higher levels but is currently stuck around $0.185.

XRP’s volume increased when compared to the prior week, while its RSI level on the 4-hour chart reaches near the overbought territory, with the current value of 68.
