- Last-minute rises in Bitcoin save the market from a complicated short-term scenario.
- Ethereum gives the initiative to Bitcoin in the quest for the long-awaited trip to the moon.
- Ripple could extend his lethargy beyond the summer.
When everything pointed out that the sales that had appeared in the last hours would damage the structure of the market, Bitcoin turned around and saved the situation.
The price recovered strongly at the end of yesterday. The BTC/USD pair went from below $9000 and inside the long-term bearish zone to open today inside the most bullish area of the current scenario.
Where yesterday's downward movement did have an impact was on the market's outlook for dominance. Bitcoin returns to the forefront of the competition for market share.
Ethereum's dominance chart shows a tremendous potential fall, which could take Ether's market share from the current 9.78% to 9%, where it would find support and a new opportunity to attack the 10% zone as the border of the fully bullish territory.
Bitcoin now holds 66.28% market share and has two strong technical resistances on the upside. The first is at the 66.86% dominance level and the second, and more importantly, at 67.7%.
Ripple is still in low hours and continues to lose weight in the overall crypto market. Ripple reached a 30% market share in May 2017, is just over 3% market share and does not look like the trend will change in the short term.
In the Ripple's weekly dominance range chart, we see the strong oversold that it carries. Should the XRP give the market one of its explosive gains, the 8.83% dominance level would be a clear target for the bulls.
As the business of parent company Ripple Ltd expands, planning to reach 350 partnership agreements by 2020, the value of the XRP token continues to devalue and cause disgust among its holders.
Market sentiment is improving slightly after yesterday's scare and is now at level 39. The market continues to be distrustful and is positioned in a fear zone, waiting for a significant breakthrough to lift the bullish dreams again.

BTC/USD Daily Chart
The BTC/USD pair is currently trading at $9469 and is trading at the bottom of the chart's bullish channel. Below the current level, Bitcoin would remain in a vast expansive triangle zone with a range waiting for the January 1, 2021 price to fall between $20300 and $7080.
Above the current price, the first resistance level is at $9600, then the second at $10400 and the third one at $11350.

XRP/USD Daily Chart

Above the current price, the first resistance level is at $0.20, then the second at $0.212 and the third one at $0.235.
