Can Ethereum (ETH) and XRP show the same growth as Bitcoin (BTC)?

Denys Serhiichuk U.Today

Bulls keep dominating the market as most of the top 10 coins are in the green zone. XRP and Uniswap (UNI) are the only exceptions to the rule, falling by 1.38% and 2.73%, respectively.

BTC/USD

Yesterday morning, buyers continued the recovery of the BTC/USD pair, but during the day the bulls repeatedly ran into bearish impulses, which brought the price down to the support around the $53,300 mark.

By the end of the day, the pair came close to the target level of $55,000. However, it was possible to break through this resistance only this evening. The March high was set at $55,855 and, in the morning, the Bitcoin price returned to the support of $53,300. If sellers' efforts are limited today by this support, then buyers will try to restore the price to the zone of the monthly maximum.

If the bears push below the $53,300 mark, then the price may retrace to the two-hour EMA55 area.

ETH/USD

Yesterday, after the morning high around the $1,860 mark, trading volumes decreased and sellers pressed the Ether price to the support of $1,800.

Tonight there was a weak attempt by the bulls to test the level of $1,900, but the growth was not supported by large enough volumes. After a local maximum of around $1,880, the price rolled back to the POC line ($1,768). If the bears push through this Volume Profile indicator line, then the pair will test the two-hour moving average EMA55.

If the point of control line stops the onslaught of sellers, then in small volumes the price will resume the sideways consolidation with support at $1,800.

Ethereum is trading at $1,846 at press time.

XRP/USD

XRP was trading at low volumes yesterday, and buyers were unsuccessful in the price recovery.

The bears broke through the four-hour EMA55 tonight and are trying to test the support of $0.450. If the upper border of the channel cannot withstand the onslaught of sellers, the pair will return to a narrow sideways trend with support at $0.430. At the same time, low selling volumes will help ease the bearish onslaught and restore the pair above average prices.

XRP is trading at $0.47 at press time.

XRP recovers slightly as bearish sentiment dominates crypto market

Ripple is rising above $1.40 at the time of writing on Monday amid fresh tariff-triggered headwinds in the broader cryptocurrency market. The sell-off to $1.33, the token’s intraday low, can be attributed to macroeconomic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and risk-averse sentiment among other factors.
