BTC/USD
Yesterday morning, the Bitcoin (BTC) price recovery continued to the resistance of $48,000. In order to break this level, the bulls formed an impulse exceeding the average buying volume. As a result, the pair has consolidated above the upper border of the wide side channel, where it has been since the middle of last week.

The trading volumes were below average tonight, but buyers were able to test the psychological $50,000 mark. If buyers continue to dominate, then the growth may continue to the area of $52,000.
If sellers build a strong defense at the $50,000 line, the pair will return to the average price area—to the two-hour EMA55.
Bitcoin is trading at $48,975 at press time.
ADA/USD
Cardano (ADA) is the main loser on our list today. The rate of the third most popular crypto has decreased by 3.71%.
ADA/USD chart by TradingView
From the technical point of view, Cardano (ADA) is located in the sideways range with no bullish or bearish signals. However, the altcoin has successfully bounced off the support at $1.16, which has confirmed buyers' power. In this case, there are chances of seeing a retest of $1.39 shortly if bulls keep pressing.
Cardano is trading at $1.23 at press time.
BNB/USD
Binance Coin (BNB) also could not join the list of gainers as the rate of the native exchange token has declined by 0.59%.
BNB/USD chart by TradingView
According to the char, Binance Coin (BNB) is trading similarly to Cardano (ADA) as, despite the decline, yesterday's candle has confirmed buyers' strengths. Thus, the selling volume remains low, which makes it difficult for buyers to keep pushing the rate of the altcoin deeper. All in all, growth to $296 is likely.
Binance Coin is trading at $252 at press time.
LINK/USD
Chainlink (LINK) is the top gainer today. Its rate has rocketed by 10% since yesterday.
LINK/USD chart by TradingView
The current rise may not have ended yet as the altcoin has accumulated enough power to rise to the next resistance at around $32. Moreover, the current liquidity level is enough for such growth.
Chainlink is trading at $29.48 at press time.
