Bitcoin price

Recently, bitcoin price corrected below the USD 10,350 and USD 10,200 support levels. The next key supports are seen near USD 10,050 and USD 10,000. If BTC/USD fails to stay above USD 10,000, the next major uptrend support is seen near USD 9,850. Any further losses could put a lot of pressure on the bulls.

On the upside, an initial resistance could be USD 10,200 level. To start a fresh increase, the price must move back above USD 10,350. The main hurdles are still near USD 10,450 and USD 10,500.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price topped near the USD 275 level and recently started a downside correction. ETH/USD broke the USD 270 and USD 268 levels. It is now trading near the USD 265 support, below which it could correct lower towards USD 258.

On the upside, the USD 270 level might act as an initial resistance area. The next key resistance is near USD 275, above which the price could start a steady rise towards the USD 292 and USD 295 resistance levels.

Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price

Bitcoin cash price remained in a range below the USD 480 and USD 485 resistance levels. If BCH/USD bulls gain pace above USD 485, the price could even surge above the USD 500 resistance area. Conversely, there is a risk of a downside correction below the USD 265 support. The next important support is seen near the USD 435 level.

Litecoin corrected a few points from above the USD 84.00 level. However, LTC/USD found support above USD 78.50 and it is currently consolidating near USD 80.00. To start a fresh increase, the price must surpass the USD 82.50 resistance area. The main resistance levels are USD 84.50 and USD 85.00.

XRP price started a downside correction from the USD 0.340 resistance area. It corrected below USD 0.330, but it found support above USD 0.310. It is currently trading in a range above USD 0.320 and facing sellers near the USD 0.328 and USD 0.330 levels.

Other altcoins market today

In the past three sessions, many small-capitalization altcoins gained more than 5%, including THETA, STEEM, ELF, SC, CENNZ, SNT, KNC, RVN, BCN, ZRX, BTS, CHZ, XTZ, and GNT. Conversely, HBAR, DX, ICX, ALGO, LSK, SEELE, and REP are down more than 5%.

To sum up, bitcoin price is showing a few signs of a corrective decrease below USD 10,050 and USD 10,000. However, BTC/USD could find a strong buying interest near the USD 9,850 support area in the coming sessions.
