Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple: Bitcoin falls below $55,000 level

  • Bitcoin fell below $56,552 on Sunday, breaking the market structure and prompting a bearish outlook.
  • Ethereum revisits the $2,817 support level, a close below it would indicate a bearish move.
  • Ripple price finds support around the weekly support level of $0.413, breaking below signals a bearish move.

Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $56,552 on Sunday, disrupting market structure and signaling a bearish outlook. Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) also revisited their support levels, slipping below critical thresholds, indicating a possible downtrend for these assets in the days ahead.

Bitcoin price shows potential for a downward move 

Bitcoin's price encountered resistance at the weekly resistance level of $58,375 on Saturday, resulting in a 4% decline the next day. By Sunday's close, it had fallen below the low of $56,552 from May 1 and traded around $54,900, 1.65% down on Monday. 

If BTC's weekly support at $58,375 acts as a resistance, it could decline 5% to revisit its daily support at $52,266.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Awesome Oscillator (AO) on the daily chart support this bearish thesis, as both indicators are below their respective neutral levels of 50 and zero. This suggests continued momentum favoring bears, potentially leading to a further decline in the Bitcoin price

Additionally, if the bears are aggressive and the overall crypto market outlook is negative, BTC could extend an additional decline of 3.3% to retest its February 23 low of $50,521.
