Yesterday, there was no substantial recovery in bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies. BTC/USD broke the USD 10,000 level and traded towards USD 9,550 before correcting. Until now, it seems like a technical downside correction in bitcoin and altcoins. Therefore, there are possibilities of a sharp recovering during the coming sessions.

Bitcoin
Bitcoin struggled recently and it traded below the USD 10,000 support level. However, the downside move was contained by another important support at USD 9,550. A low was formed at USD 9,570 and the price recovered.
BTC/USD is currently trading 0.2% down to USD 10,120. It seems like the pair is back in the bullish zone and it could soon move back towards the USD 10,400 resistance (previous support).
On the flip side, if the price fails to hold the USD 10,000 support, it may perhaps retest the USD 9,550 support region.

Ethereum was one of the best performers among major cryptocurrencies. ETH/USD is currently trading 4.7% higher to USD 858. It traded as low as USD 785 before started a sharp upside move.

Ripple recovered 2% to move back above the USD 1.00 level. It must stay above the mentioned USD 1.00 level to gain further towards the USD 1.10 resistance.
