The two-hour EMA55 passed just below the psychological level of $50,000 and stopped the pullback. Late in the evening, taking advantage of the support of this moving average, the pair returned to a narrow sideways range, the lower border of which was at the level of $50,500.

At the end of last week, buyers did not take the chance to break above $52,000. One believes that in the near future they might still try to form a bullish impulse to test the resistance of $53,400.

Bitcoin is trading at $51,532 at press time.

XRP/USD

Over the weekend, the XRP price tried to continue its recovery, but the two-hour EMA55 kept the pair from rising to the orange level of $0.96.

Buyers may try to break through the average price level this morning and test the $0.96 resistance.

However, if the recovery is not supported by large volumes, then the XRP price should be expected to drop below the support of $0.90.

XRP is trading at $0.9380 at press time.

AVAX/USD

The rate of Avalanche (AVAX) has risen by 4.38% since yesterday.

After the false breakout of the support level at $101, bulls keep controlling the situation. At the moment, the coin is located in the sideways trading area in the zone of $120, accumulating power for possible continued growth. In this case, there are high chances to see AVAX trading around its peak at $140 within the next few weeks.

AVAX is trading at $118.32 at press time.

MATIC/USD

MATIC is the only loser today, falling by 0.19% over the last 24 hours.

Despite the slight decline today, MATIC has managed to set a new peak. The selling trading volume is low, which means that the current drop might be considered a correction before a further price rise. Overall, the decline might continue to the recently formed mirror level at $2.70, followed by a sharp bounceback.

MATIC is trading at $2.282 at press time.
