Yesterday, bulls tried to continue the race. They managed to pierce the psychological level of $50,000 and mark a new high above the $51,000 mark.

Sellers reacted with a series of sell-offs, causing the price to pull back to support the 2-hour EMA55. This morning, bulls will continue their attempts to keep the race going, and if the growth is supported by large volumes, then the next maximum is possible in the region of $52,000.

If the bullish momentum turns out to be weak, then the high will be followed by a pullback to the support of $46,000.

Bitcoin is trading at $51,550 at press time.

ETH/USD

Ethereum (ETH), unlike Bitcoin (BTC), has not shown such a price rise. Its rate has remained in the same place since yesterday.

On the daily chart, Ethereum (ETH) is getting out of the consolidation phase and is ready to conquer new peaks. In this case, bulls can get the rate of the second most popular crypto to the vital mark of $2,000.

Ethereum is trading at $1,811 at press time.

XRP/USD

Yesterday, the 4H EMA55 failed to cope with the selling pressure and the bears broke through the rather strong support of the moving average.

XRP is trading at $0.5332 at press time.
