Bitcoin is trading at $57,660 at press time.

From the technical point of view, Ethereum (ETH) is ready to keep the growth going after yesterday's decline, as one can consider the drop a retest of the mirror level but not the start of a bearish trend. Respectively, the potential short-term target is $2,300.

Ethereum is trading at $2,055 at press time.

XRP/USD

XRP is the top loser today as its rate has gone down by 4.37%.

Despite the decline, the long-term trend remains bullish. Buyers' dominance will become more visible when XRP fixes above $0.652. In this case, the next level of $0.75 may be attained within the next few days.

XRP is trading at $0.5892 at press time.
