ADA, BNB, SOL, DOGE, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) is down almost 3% and there was a move below the USD 1.32 level. It is now trying to recover, but, if it fails, a clear move below USD 1.30 might start a stronger decline in the coming sessions.

Binance coin (BNB) is also down 3% and the bears pushed the price below USD 512. It is now struggling to stay above the USD 500 level. A close below USD 500 may possibly start a stronger decline towards the USD 480 level.

Solana (SOL) declined below the USD 170 level. The price is now approaching the USD 165 support. If the bulls fail to protect USD 165, there could be a sharper decline. On the upside, the bears might remain active near USD 175.

DOGE declined below the USD 0.170 level. The price is gaining bearish momentum and might soon revisit USD 0.165. The next major support is near the USD 0.162 level.

XRP price moved lower and approached the USD 0.820 level. The next major support is near USD 0.80, below which the price could accelerate lower. On the upside, the USD 0.85 level is a key barrier.

Other altcoins market today

Many altcoins are up over 8%, including FTM, NEAR, SCRT, CRV, RVN, ALGO, AMP, ATOM, ROSE, and LINK. Out of these, FTM gained nearly 20% and reached the USD 2.90 level, increasing its weekly gains to almost 32%. Meanwhile, NEAR jumped 22% in a day, 17% in a week, and is now above USD 17.

Overall, bitcoin price is moving lower and consolidating near USD 46,000. If BTC fails to stay above USD 46,000, there could be a sharper decline in the near term.
