Top-3 cryptocurrencies price updates
Bitcoin (BTC) has extended the recovery and hit the intraday high at $9,944. The first digital coin stopped within a whisker of $10,000 and retreated to $9,600 by press time. NTC has gained over 6% of gains since this time on Wednesday. A sustainable move above psychological $9,500 improved the technical picture and opened up the way towards $10,000. The volatility remains high.
Ethereum is trading at $201.50 after a short-lived move above $206.00. The second-largest digital asset gained over 4% on a day-to-day basis moving in sync with the market, but the upside momentum has faded away and pushed the price back inside the range. The former psychological resistance $200.00 has turned into support.
XRP/USD managed to break above $0.2000; however, the lack of follow-throw bodes ill for XRP bulls. The third-largest coin is vulnerable to further losses unless the upside momentum gains traction. The next resistance is created by $0.2030 (38.2% Fibo retracement for the downside move from February 2020 high).
