Bitcoin (BTC) price remains in a consolidation phase after reaching a new all-time high of $93,265 last week. Ethereum's (ETH) price is nearing its support level; a close below would cause a further price decline, while Ripple's (XRP) price shows bullish momentum as it tests and potentially breaks key resistance.
Bitcoin price consolidates within $87,000 to $93,000
Bitcoin price surged and reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $93,265 on Wednesday. Since then, it has been consolidating, with initial support of around $87,000. At the time of writing on Monday, it trades slightly higher, around $90,500.
If BTC drops below the $87,000 support level, it could lead to further declines toward $85,000. A successful close below this level might trigger a deeper sell-off to $78,800.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also stands at 74, well above its overbought level of 70. It points downwards, signaling increasing risk. Traders should exercise caution when adding to their long positions, as a move out of the overbought territory by the RSI could provide a clear sign of a pullback.

Conversely, if BTC breaks above and closes above $92,625, the rally could extend to the significant psychological level at $100,000.

Ethereum price declined 8.8% until Sunday after being rejected around the weekly level of $3,454 on Tuesday. On Monday, it trades slightly higher, around $3,100, approaching its psychologically important level of $3,000.
