Crypto Trend Analysis
BTC/USD
From yesterday’s open around 6,350$, the price of Bitcoin has increased by 5.68% as its currently sitting around the 6,702$ level.
Looking at the hourly chart we can see that the price interacted with the minor resistance line and has been rejected by it, which is why it has retraced slightly. Currently, we are seeing a lower high being formed just slightly lower than the prior ones which might be an indicator of the downtrend starting, but it can also be a retracement before a breakout on the upside.

ETH/USD
From yesterday’s open at 446$, the price of Ethreum has increased by 6% and is currently sitting around 473$.
On the hourly chart, we can see a similar pattern like on Bitcoin’s chart. The price has entered sellers territory which is why it has retraced since the spike at the 481$ level. Currently, the price is on the minor range support where it is testing for the support. If the support is found I would expect a breakout from the upside, but if not, I am expecting the price to fall back to the 445$ level which served as support recently.

XRP/USD
In the last 24 hours, the price of Ripple has increased by 7%, from 0.443$ to 0.474$.
Looking at the hourly chart, again, we can see a similar price action pattern like on Bitcoin’s and Ethereum’s chart. The price found first resistance significant enough to be rejected by those levels and has currently retraced to minor support level testing for support.

Conclusion
Judging by the position of the market cap evaluation as well as the charts analysed in today’s report, I conclude that the prices have found first resistance and the sellers are on the alert. Today we will see either a breakout on the upside if the sellers don’t get nervous and let the buyers push the price, or, a retracement of this uptrend to the first support levels. I think the second scenario is more likely because in order for the prices resistance to be broken, strong support is needed and there is none on the current levels.
