Technical analysis

Bitcoin
The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization had quite a slow day. Its price followed the descending resistance line throughout most of the day until it jumped slightly above it. However, the current move has insufficient strength to pass the $9,251 resistance level. On top of that, the upside is guarded by the 21 as well as 50-period moving averages.
BTC traders should look for a trade opportunity after the largest cryptocurrency passes $9,251, or fails to break it.

Technical factors:
- Price is below its 50-period EMA and its 21-period EMA
- Price right below the middle B.B. (20-period SMA)
- RSI neutral (47.59)
- Average volume
Key levels to the upside Key levels to the downside

2: $9,580 2: $8,980
3: $9,735 3: $8,820
Ethereum
Ethereum also had a slow day, with its price dancing between $237.5 (where ETH seems to have found some form of support) and a $240 resistance level. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization might attempt to break $240 very soon, but such a move would need strong confirmation afterward to be completely valid.
Ethereum traders should look for an opportunity after the fight for $240 ends.

Ripple
The third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap was trading sideways throughout the day, with its price being slightly below $0.2. The resistance level held up quite nicely, which brought XRP’s price down by a bit. However, even though it performed the worst out of the top3 cryptocurrencies in the past 24 hours, XRP’s price moved less than 1% in total.
XRP traders can look for an opportunity to trade when the volume increases, and the trend becomes clear enough, as the low volume and volatility are certainly not ideal for trading at the moment.
XRP/USD 4-hour Chart
Technical factors:
- XRP in a mid-term descending trend (though it broke the trend in the short-term)
- XRP lacks strong support levels below $0.178
- Price above 21-period and below the 50-period EMA
- Price right under the middle B.B. (20-period SMA)
- RSI is neutral (47.11)
- Volume lower than average
