Bitcoin, BTCUSD is showing first evidence for a potential bottom formation in the 4-hour chart, but because of three-wave rise from the lows only, we are observing a complex (W)-(X)-(Y) corrective rally that can send the price higher within wave (Y), especially if current decline is a corrective within wave (X).

Ripple, XRPUSD is down again in the 4-hour chart, but for now we are still observing a complex (W)-(X)-(Y) corrective rise. However, keep in mind that recent rally was in three legs only and that it hasn't reached June 2021 lows yet, current rally could be still as part of a three-wave correction of a bigger ending diagonal, especially it the price drops back below 0.60 region.
