Bitcoin price

Recently, bitcoin price made another attempt to clear the USD 51,800 resistance. However, BTC faced a strong selling interest and started a fresh decline below USD 51,200. There was a clear move below the USD 50,000 level as the price dropped almost 4% in a day. On the downside, a major support is near USD 48,500, below which the bears could gain strength.

If there is a fresh increase, the price might face resistance near the USD 50,200 level. The next resistance is near the USD 50,500 zone, above which the price could revisit USD 51,500.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price also followed a similar pattern after it failed to clear the USD 4,120 resistance and declined 4%. ETH dropped below the USD 4,020 and USD 4,000 support levels, breaking the key support of USD 3,920. Below this level, the price might retest USD 3,850.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near USD 4,000. The next key resistance is near the USD 4,020 level, above which the price could test USD 4,080. 

ADA, BNB, SOL, DOGE, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) spiked higher towards the USD 1.60 level before sellers appeared. It started a fresh decline and traded below USD 1.55. It even traded below USD 1.50 and there could be more downsides.

Binance coin (BNB) climbed higher towards the USD 580 level before there was a fresh decline. It is now consolidating near the USD 550 level. Any more losses might lead the price towards the USD 532 level in the near term.

Solana (SOL) failed to stay above the USD 200 level. It declined 6% and tested USD 188. If the bears remain in action, the price could decline towards the USD 182 level. The next major support is near the USD 172 level.

DOGE faced sellers near the USD 0.192 level. There was a fresh decline below USD 0.188, and the price tested USD 0.180. It seems like there is a risk of a move towards the USD 0.172 level.

XRP price struggled to gain strength above USD 0.95. As a result, there was a fresh bearish reaction, and the price traded below USD 0.90. It is now testing the USD 0.89 zone and might continue to move lower towards the USD 0.85 level.
