Bitcoin Ethereum Ripple February 18 2019

BTC/USD is well supported and can think of topping $4,000

Bitcoin enjoys robust support centered around $3,620 where we see the convergence of the Simple Moving Average 10-4h, the Fibonacci 61.8% one-week, the SMA 501d, the SMA100-15m, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, and the Bollinger Band 1h-Middle. 

Further support awaits at $3,527 where we see the confluence of the SMA 100-4h, the Pivot Point one-month Support 1, the BB 1h-Lower, the BB 4h-Lower, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month, and the SMA 200-4h. 

BTC/USD faces weak resistance at $3,905 where the Pivot Point one-month Resistance 1 awaits the pair. 

The high target is $4,123, the previous month's top.

ETH/USD may reach resistance soon

Ethereum is shooting higher but faces fierce resistance around $147.25, where it faces the meeting point of the PP 1m-R1 and the BB 15-minutes Upper. 

If it overcomes this line, the next substantial line is only at $163, where we see the previous monthly high.

Support awaits at around $140 which is the meeting point of the Fibonacci 61.8% one-month, the BB 4h-Upper, the SMA 50-15m, the PP 1d-R1, and the SMA 10-1h.

The next massive cushion is at $133 which is the meeting point of the BB 1d-Upper, the PP 1w-R2, and the Fibonacci 378.2% one-day.

XRP/USD has substantial support

Ripple has initial support at $0.3099 which is a cluster including the BB 1h-Middle, the Fibonacci 23.6% one-month, the previous daily high, the SMA 200-4h, the SMA 5-4h, the PP 1d-R1, and the BB 15 minutes Lower.

Further support awaits at $0.3050 where we see a minefield including the Fibonacci 38.2% one-week, the SMA 100-1h, the SMA 200-1h, the SMA 50-4h, the BB 4h-Middle, the Fibonacci 38.2% one-day, the SMA 200-15m, and the SMA 50-1h.

Resistance awaits at $0.3199 where we see the convergence of the PP 1d-R3, the PP 1w-R2, and the BB 1d-Upper. 

Closeby, the Fibonacci 161.8% one-week, and the Fibonacci 38.2% one-month converge at $0.3250 to form the next resistance line.
