Technical Analysis
Bitcoin
Bitcoin seems to be moving in a range between its 200-period SMA and its 50-period SMA. Currently, it is forming a bottom and heading to test the $8,800 resistance.
The volume is thin, so these moves are marked by sellers fading at the minor tops and buyers fishing at significant bottoms. The crossing of the $8,800 level might start creating interest and increase the traded volume. A breach of the $8,660 level would trigger a new downward leg to $8,300.
| Supports | Pivot | Resistances |
| 8,667 | 8,800 | 9,000 |
| 8,515 | 9,170 | |
| 8,315 | 9,465 |
Ripple
Ripple continues in its downtrend, making new lower lows. The price moves in its -1SD Bollinger line, which also points down. We see the price below $0.275 and with its bear candlesticks with high volume. Unless there is an overall trend in the crypto market, we see this token continue descending to 0.266 and below. Another bad sign is the 50-period SMA crossing under the 200- period SMA. We can see that currently, the price is below both averages, and even below the 20- period SMA, that is the central line of the Bollinger Bands.
| Supports | Pivot | Resistances |
| 0.2715 | 0.2750 | 0.2800 |
| 0.2670 | 0.2870 | |
| 0.2610 | 0.2930 |
Ethereum
Ethereym continues moving as yesterday. $184 seems to be the closest price support. The price moves near the Bollinger band mean line and in the middle of a range between $180 and $193. We see the volume of green candles is larger than the on red candles. Therefore ETH behaves slightly bullish. $188 and $184 are the key levels to watch.
| Supports | Pivot | Resistances |
| 182.00 | 186.00 | 188.00 |
| 180.00 | 192.00 | |
| 176.00 | 194,5 |
Litecoin
Litecoin is moving similarly to Ethreum, making higher lows and its moving averages pointing up. Currently, the price action seems constrained in the middle of the horizontal range between $60 and $64.4. As seen yesterday, $64.4 appears to be a level marked by sellers to dump their position and, therefore, a strong resistance level. That limited upside may harm the short-term outlook of this coin. We should observe the $61.36 level for signs of more weakness.
| Supports | Pivot | Resistances |
| 60,8 | 62.25 | 64.20 |
| 58.00 | 66.40 | |
| 55.50 | 68.30 |
