Bitcoin price

After a decent move above USD 33,500, bitcoin price was able to clear the USD 34,000 resistance level. BTC even spiked above USD 34,500, but it failed to continue higher. It is now trading below USD 34,000, however, it seems like the bulls may soon make an attempt to clear the USD 35,000 resistance level too.
If they succeed, the price might rise towards the USD 36,500 resistance. Conversely, there is a risk of a fresh decline towards the USD 33,000 support level.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price is holding steady above the USD 1,300 level. ETH is showing positive signs, but it must settle above USD 1,350 for a sustained upward move. The next key resistance on the upside is near the USD 1,400 level, above which it could test USD 1,400.
On the downside, the USD 1,300 level is a decent support. A break below the USD 1,300 level may possibly lead the price towards the USD 1,250 support zone.

Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price

Bitcoin cash price is up over 5% and it broke the USD 425 resistance level. BCH seems to be gaining pace and it could continue to rise towards the USD 435 and USD 440 levels.

Litecoin (LTC) is rising steadily and it is now trading well above USD 130. LTC is facing a strong resistance near the USD 140 and USD 142 levels.
