Bitcoin
Bitcoin managed to get over $8,000 over the weekend. It is currently in a tight range, bound by support level of $8,000 and resistance level of $8,165. There are currently no sure ways to see where Bitcoin’s price will go from here. Traders might consider abandoning range-trading and wait for the breakout to happen so they could catch the move.
Bitcoin’s volume is descending and is undoubtedly lower than what it was over the past week. Its RSI level is currently at 54.34, just above the middle point.
Key levels to the upside Key levels to the downside
1: $8,165 1: $8,000
2: $8,630 2: $7,780
3: $8,820 3: $7,530
Ethereum
Ethereum followed other cryptos on their move up over the weekend. It gained some upward momentum and reached over $141.15 level, which is where it’s at right now. Ethereum is now bound within a range between $148.5 to the upside and $141.15 to the downside.
Ethereum’s RSI is currently in the middle part of the value range. Its volume is descending but is still pretty high.
Key levels to the upside Key levels to the downside
1: $148.5 1: $141.15
2: $154.2 2: $130
3: $160 3: 128.1
Ripple
XRP is also following the industry trend of moving up after the consolidation, which brought the price down. XRP managed to bring its price above $0.211 over the weekend. However, unlike Ethereum and Bitcoin, XRP is now struggling to keep above that support. Its price is currently right on the $0.211 line or slightly below it. Whether the price will end up above or below this level plays an important role in this move, as passing above will mean consolidating at a much higher price. Consolidating below the line will most likely mean that XRP will fall into the middle of the range it was in on Friday.
XRP’s volume is much lower than yesterday, while its RSI is in the middle part of the value range.
Key levels to the upside Key levels to the downside
1: $0.211 1: $0.205
2: $0.221 2: $0.1978
3: $0.227 3: 0.1892
