Technical analysis

Bitcoin

The largest crypto by market capitalization spent the weekend moving within a range, bound by the support level of $9,251 and the resistance level of $9,580. The support level was tested a couple of times over the weekend, but there was no real initiative in breaking it to the downside.


Bitcoin’s volume is slowing down and reducing while its RSI level is rising slightly (52).

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

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

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

Ethereum

Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum wasn’t so static over the weekend. While the second-largest cryptocurrency did start the weekend slowly, the most recent volume increase and price spike show its potential to possibly approach the $240 level. However, it is unlikely that Ethereum will pass the level by itself (without the help of Bitcoin), so traders can watch what Bitcoin does and trade accordingly.

1: $240                                    1: $228

2: $251.4                                 2: $225.4

3: $198                                    3: $217.6

Ripple

The third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has broken its immediate support level of $0.19 on Friday, and has maintained its position over the weekend. Even though XRP managed to gain some value in the past hours, it is still extremely unlikely that it will go above the $0.19 resistance level.


XRP’s volume is extremely low, while its RSI level increased to 48.
