Technical Analysis
Bitcoin
Bitcoin could not overcome the $8,800 level, and sellers came to send the price toward the support provided by its 200-period SMA in a large bearish candlestick with higher volume. The price moving near the -1SD line of the Bollinger bands is not good news for the bulls. A close below the $8,667 level might indicate that the current corrective movement has not ended.
| Supports | Pivot | Resistances |
| 8,694 | 8,767 | 8,828 |
| 8,632 | 8,900 | |
| 8,560 | 8,960 |
Ripple
Ripple continue descending. The price cut through the $0.27 support in a large candle that pierced below $0.258 to, then, retrace almost all its path in a large wick with lots of volume.
The price continues moving near its -1SD Bollinger line, which indicates a bullish trend. The next significant support is 0.266, the beginning of its, now fully retracted, bullish impulse. If the price moves above the top of the current candle, it might sign an end to the bearish leg. The large wick we observe indicates there is liquidity to support XRP below 0.266.
| Supports | Pivot | Resistances |
| 0.2690 | 0.2730 | 0.2755 |
| 0.2660 | 0.2790 | |
| 0.2620 | 0.2810 |
Ethereum
Ethereum's break of the triangular formation has been frustrated by the latest hours bearishness. The price was rejected at about $188 and sent to the lower side of the Bollinger band with increasing volume. The next support, $184, is key for the buyers. A breach below this level would create a new leg and a visit to the $180 level.
| Supports | Pivot | Resistances |
| 185.20 | 187.50 | 190.00 |
| 182.80 | 192.00 | |
| 180.50 | 194.70 |
Litecoin
Litecoin continues in a bearish segment, its price moving well very close to its -3SD line of the Bollinger bands. This situation indicates the price is close to oversold levels, but, also, that the bearish momentum has increased. The next support level is $58.9, the beginning of the upward impulse made early this month, and, next, $58, a long-term, key level.
| Supports | Pivot | Resistances |
| 60.20 | 61.20 | 62.00 |
| 59.30 | 63.00 | |
| 58.50 | 63.80 |
