Technical analysis

_______________________________________________________________________

Bitcoin

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has made another move towards the upside as bulls gathered up. The price managed to push above the descending trend line and reach just shy of $9,500 before returning down to test the newly conquered line as a support level. The line was tested successfully, and Bitcoin seems like it’s consolidating at the $9,400 level.

As mentioned yesterday, the descending line forced a move on Bitcoin, which ended up in BTC crossing to the upside. As with most BTC trades, trading confirmations and pullbacks are the safest way to profit.

BTC/USD 4-hour Chart

Technical factors:

• Price is above its 50-period EMA and its 21-period EMA
• Price is between the upper B.B. and middle line (20-period SMA)
• RSI at the upper levels (65.5)
• Increased volume (returning to average)

1: $9,580                                 1: $9,251

2: $9,735                                 2: $9,120

3: $9,870                                  3: $8,980

Ethereum

Ethereum made a move towards the upside as well. In fact, it broke a much stronger resistance level than Bitcoin. The ascending resistance level was broken as volume skyrocketed, but the price fell back under it during the confirmation period. However, Ethereum passed to the upside again, where it is now. It is important to note that this price level is unstable because it has not been properly confirmed, as well as because the line is moving sharply towards the upside, which Ethereum might not be able to follow for a long period of time.

Ethereum traders should look for an opportunity to trade around the ascending line (possibly when ETH falls back under it again).

Technical Factors:

• Price slightly below the upper B.B.
• RSI almost in the overbought territory (68)
• Increased volume

3: $260                                     3: $217.7

Ripple

The third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap had much more uniformed moves. After days of almost no volume and volatility, the past couple of days have been extremely interesting for XRP’s price. XRP managed to break the $0.19 resistance (now support) yesterday, while its most recent spike brought its price above $0.2. However, the move got stopped at the $0.205 resistance level a couple of times, so XRP is now trading within a small range.

XRP traders can look for an opportunity to trade now since XRP is trading within a range bound by $0.2 and $0.205.

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 is above the 21 and 50-period EMA
• Price slightly below the upper B.B.
• RSI is in the overbought territory (71)
• Increased volume
