The cryptocurrency market managed to lose value in terms of market capitalization. Its market cap is currently sitting at $195.1 billion. This value represents a decrease of around $3.5 billion when compared to the value it had yesterday.

What happened in the past 24 hours

The users must hold at least 1 XTZ in order to qualify for staking rewards. Tezos’s current price is $1.30.

On a less bright side, more than 1.5 million AUD in cryptocurrency has been seized during a drug bust in Western Australia.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin did not move much relative to the market as a whole in the past 24 hours, though he did lose some of its value. It did end up being in the red when it comes to daily price movement, as it traded sideways and then suddenly dropped around $150. It is still trading below the $7,415 line, but as it cannot pass it, Bitcoin decided to step away from it and consolidate at a lower price.


Bitcoin’s volume is currently lower than when compared to its values from yesterday. The RSI value seems to be slowly falling towards oversold levels again.

Key levels to the upside                    Key levels to the downside                            1: $7,415                                           1: $6,620

2: $8,000

3: $8,425


Ethereum

Ethereum had a pretty bad day. It fell under the support zone’s lower line of 147 and is now trading right below it. As its price is no longer contained within the support zone, Ethereum has no immediate support and its next big support level is all the way down to $127.


Ethereum’s price is currently in limbo and its short-term direction is unknown, and so are its immediate key support levels.

Key levels to the upside                    Key levels to the downside

1: $167.8                                            1: $127

2: $178.6

3: $185


Ripple

XRP spent the day losing quite a bit of its value. It could not hold its gains from the last bull move and started bleeding out during the past 24 hours. Its price breezed through the 50% Fib retracement line and continued downwards, stopping at around $0.211 and then changing direction and stabilizing around the 61.8% Fib retracement. While the support and resistance lines marked green on the chart are not as strong as to be considered key levels, we can see that Ripple’s price did respond quite well to almost every level of the green Fib retracement.


Key levels to the upside                    Key levels to the downside

1: $0.235                                            1: $0.202

2: $0.245

3: $0.266
