Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple: Altcoins push hard not waiting for a Bitcoin reaction
- ETH/BTC is trading at recent highs and is looking to break out of the current range.
- Bitcoin continues in pause mode and could wait for a pause in the upward trend of the Altcoin segment.
- XRP is struggling to stay in the high price range and is disengaging from the strength demonstrated by the Altcoins.
The Altcoin market has only needed one business day to see prices rise sharply again. Bitcoin, still, has adopted the anchor function and for the moment is giving up the battle for the $10000.
The new week adds a candlestick to the weekly chart and allows us to plot the possible scenarios before us.
The main assets of the Altcoin segment are already moving above the short moving average – EMA 50 – and now have the SMA200 as their main target at 0.040 price level.
The distances to this medium-term moving average allow us to venture that altcoins can reach this level in 4-6 weeks. The market will likely slow down due to the importance of the SMA200 as a resistance. Will that be the time to see Bitcoin rise? Possibly.
The master pair in the Bitcoin vs Altcoin ratio, the ETH/BTC pair, shows significant strength and is battling against the 0.0275 resistance. If brokes this resistance level, we could see a robust bullish explosion in the Altcoin segment.
