Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple: Altcoin season rocks on under the radar

• The Altcoin segment is boiling hot, laying the foundations for a massive bull market.
• Despite the apparent calm on the surface, Cardano, Chainlink or Ripple knock hard on the heavens' door.
• The war for dominance distracts Bitcoin and Ethereum, focused on the power play.

The Crypto market appears like a calm sea if you look at it from the surface, but under that first layer of tranquillity, there are very significant movements.

The war for dominance is at a high point where Bitcoin desperately struggles to stay above the current support. Technical indicators are pointing to a continuation of the downtrend, although RSI below the 20 levels is signaling bounces in the short term from the strong oversold.

Ethereum is once again falling below the resistance level that gives way to the bullish scenario. Technical indicators are not giving up on the breakout attempt, so we may continue to see Ethereum doing better than Bitcoin in the coming days.

In the second level Altcoin segment, things are very much in the air with Cardano (ADA) as the guest star of the show. Today, Ethereum's rival rises more than 23% and chains up several days with an accumulated price increase of more than 65%. The weekly chart for the ADA/USD pair provides useful information. Cardano left the bearish scenario at the end of May in which it moved since July 2019 – now recovering the upward trend that began in December 2018.

If ADA/USD consolidates at this price, the next target is the $0.30 level (+360%).

Ripple also stands out today on the positive side with a 7.8% rise on the day, leaving it on the verge of the $0.20 level and, as we will see in the detailed analysis, an option to return to the glory of times past.

The market sentiment remains, despite all the above, in a fear zone by leaving the score today at level 44, according to the site alternative.me. 

The market expects double-digit increases in Bitcoin and Ethereum, reminiscent of old times. Still, the maturity of Bitcoin and Ethereum may no longer allow for such gains.
