Bitcoin

After a weekend of steady gains, Bitcoin spent the day trying to establish its presence above the newly-conquered $11,630 level. While the fight is still in progress, it seems that the largest cryptocurrency by market cap will stay above the level, thus turning it into support.

Traders should take a look at how Bitcoin handles its next resistance, which is at around $11,820.

Ethereum

Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum has had a great day. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap continued its rush towards the upside, fueled by the expansion of DeFi. The move towards the upside rekindled after ETH confirming its position above $415 and stopped (for now) at its next resistance level, which is sitting at $445. While Ethereum has a chance of breaking this level as well, it is unlikely that it will stay above it as the volume seems to be fading, while its RSI is in the overbought territory.

Ethereum traders should look for ETH’s pullback after the bullish move ends.

  • Price is just below the upper band
  • RSI is in the overbought territory (74.23)
  • Volume is descending

                                                 3: $360

Ripple

XRP’s move towards the upside ended abruptly as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap failed to break the $0.285 resistance level. While it is still very close to it, XRP shows no signs of breaking the resistance any time soon, unless it gets external help in the form of BTC pushing the price of the whole crypto market.

On the other hand, XRP doesn’t show any signs of going down anytime soon, so we can expect some range-bound trading in the near future.

Traders should look for an opportunity within the range XRP is currently in.

Technical factors:
  • The price is above its 21-period and 50-period EMA
  • Price is slightly above its middle band
  • RSI is stable and neutral (58.98)
