Ethereum price

Ethereum price fell sharply below the USD 330 support level. ETH even spiked below USD 320 and traded close to the USD 310 support. The price is currently correcting higher, but the previous support near USD 330 and USD 335 could prevent gains.

Bitcoin cash, chainlink and XRP price

Bitcoin cash price broke the USD 220 support level and extended its decline below USD 210. BCH is still holding the USD 200 support, but there is a risk of more losses in the near term. On the upside, the USD 220 level might act as a strong resistance in the near term.
Chainlink (LINK) fell further below the USD 8.00 level. The price even traded close to the USD 7.20 support zone and it is currently recovering higher above USD 8.00.
