Conclusion

After the surge in price, we have seen three cryptocurrencies this week that we are covering in this daily report, that are starting to interact with their strong resistance lines. Keeping in mind that the weekend is coming and that this uptrend lasted slightly less than a month (from April 9.), I think those resistance levels are going to trigger a pullback. For the forecast on the upcoming week, make sure to check my weekly crypto update where I provide an overview from the past week and forecast what is likely to happen in the next week. Things are going according to my three-week-old forecast so far, and it’s getting close to completion.
