Bitcoin price

After a sharp decline, bitcoin price found support near the USD 30,000 level. BTC started an upside correction and traded above the USD 31,200 level.

On the downside, an initial support is near USD 31,000. The main support is near the USD 30,000 level, below which there is a risk of more downsides.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price also dived and tested the USD 2,200 support zone. ETH started a recovery wave above the USD 2,300 and USD 2,320 levels. However, the bears are defending the USD 2,400 level. A close above USD 2,400 could set the pace for a move towards the USD 2,500 level. In either case, ETH erased all its daily losses but is still down 17% in a week.

On the downside, an immediate support is near the USD 2,300 level. The next major support is near the USD 2,250 level, below which the price might retest USD 2,200.

ADA, BNB, SOL, DOGE, and XRP price

Cardano (ADA) started a steady increase and climbed above the USD 0.65 level. It even surpassed the USD 0.670 level and seems like the bulls are aiming a move above the USD 0.70 level. ADA is up almost 2% in a day.

BNB tested the USD 288 support before starting an upside correction. The price is back above the USD 300 level and might rise towards the USD 332 level.

DOGE is back above the USD 0.110 level and is testing the USD 0.115 resistance zone. If there is an upside break above USD 0.115, the price may perhaps rise towards the USD 0.120 level.

XRP price started a consolidation phase after it spiked below the USD 0.50 level. An immediate resistance is near the USD 0.525 level, above which it could rise towards the USD 0.532 level or even USD 0.55.
