On the daily chart, Bitcon (BTC) keeps trading above $56,000, which means that there are still high chances of seeing a restest of the peak around $62,000.

Only if bears push the rate below $59,000 will they seize the long-term initiative.

Bitcoin is trading at $57,000 at press time.

ADA/USD

Cardano (ADA) is the top loser today. The price of the coin has gone down by almost 5%.

Despite the price decrease, bears have not seized the initiative as the altcoin keeps trading in a range between $1.18 and $1.33. At the moment, sideways trading is the more likely scenario, which means that the upper channel boundary may be tested.

Cardano is trading at $1.20 at press time.

BNB/USD

Binance Coin (BNB) has lost the least today. The rate of the native exchange token has gone down by only 2%.

BNB is trading at $263 at press time.

LTC/USD

Litecoin (LTC) is not an exception to our rule as the "digital silver" could not keep trading in the bullish zone.
