Bitcoin price

After facing another rejection near USD 47,200, bitcoin price corrected lower. BTC is back below USD 47,000, but it is stable near the USD 46,500 level. The first key support is forming near the USD 46,000 level. The next major support is at USD 45,500. A downside break below USD 45,500 could open the doors for a fresh decline.

ADA, LTC, DOGE, and XRP price

Litecoin (LTC) is stable above the USD 180 level. It even climbed above USD 185, but the bears defended the key USD 188 resistance.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is consolidating above the USD 0.250 pivot level. On the upside, an immediate barrier is near the USD 0.262 level. The key breakout zone is near USD 0.265, above which the price might rise towards the USD 0.280 resistance zone.
