Technical analysis

Bitcoin
The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization surprised the market once again by pushing even further up. Our weekly chart overview has listed a push towards $13,900 as one of the likely scenarios for this week, which is exactly what happened. Bitcoin has pushed past the descending (yellow dotted) line and above the $13,180 resistance level, all the way to $13,800.
Traders should look at how Bitcoin behaves around $13,900 and follow the next push (either a pullback below $13,570 or a break past $13,900).
BTC/USD 4-hour Chart
Bitcoin’s technicals have changed to extremely bullish on all time frames since yesterday, with only the 4-hour chart oscillators showing some signs of a tilt towards the sell-side.

2: $13,900 2: $12,870
3: $14,000 3: $12,500
Ethereum
Ethereum has spent the day bouncing off of the support level dating back from early September. While Ether had a slightly bigger chance of continuing its path down the projected path towards the bottom of the channel, Bitcoin’s rise sparked up Ether’s bounce. Its price is now hovering slightly above $400, with a solid chance of testing $415 again.
Traders should watch for how Ethereum plays out in the next few days to evaluate if it pushes towards $415-$420 or goes below $400.
ETH/USD 4-hour Chart
Ethereum’s technicals are tilted towards the buy-side on all time-frames, but only the daily time-frame is completely bullish. On the other hand, the 4-hour, weekly, and monthly overviews have signs of neutrality, mostly when it comes to oscillators.

Technical Factors (4-hour Chart):
- The price is above its 50-period and slightly above its 21-period EMA

Ripple
The fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has stayed at the same place over the course of the past 24 hours, possibly preparing itself for a move towards the yellow ascending line. Even if it keeps following it, XRP will gain a significant boost in price and an opportunity to test $0.26 once again.
Traders should look for a trade when XRP reaches $0.26, as they can enter a trade on either the pullback or the push above.
XRP/USD 4-hour Chart
XRP’s technicals are slightly tilted towards the buy-side, but the 1-day, as well as 4-hour and weekly technicals, show slight neutrality. On the other hand, its monthly overview is still bearish.
