After a decent increase, bitcoin price struggled to clear the USD 40,000 resistance zone. BTC started a downside correction and is testing the USD 39,500 level. The next major support is near USD 39,200, below which the price might test USD 38,800. Any more losses might send the price towards the USD 38,000 level.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near the USD 39,850 level. The first major resistance is near the USD 40,000 level, above which the price may perhaps clear the USD 40,350 resistance zone.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price struggled to gain strength above the USD 2,950 and USD 2,960 resistance levels. ETH is moving lower and might decline below USD 2,920. It’s still up almost 2% in a day and over 1% in a week. The next major support is near the USD 2,900 level, below which the price might retest the USD 2,850 support.

If there is a fresh increase, the bulls might aim for a clear move above USD 2,950. If they succeed, the price could rise towards the main USD 3,000 resistance. The next key resistance is near the USD 3,050 level.

Solana (SOL) rallied above the USD 92 resistance and tested the USD 95 resistance. It is now correcting lower and trading near USD 92. If there are additional losses, the price could test the USD 88 level.

XRP price spiked above key USD 0.65 resistance, but there was no upside continuation. The price is now trading below USD 0.64 and there is a risk of a move towards the USD 0.62 support. The next major support is near USD 0.605.
