Technical Analysis

Bitcoin





Bitcoin is currently moving above $13,000 after another Asian bullish session which drove the price from yesterday’s $12,500. We can see from the trendlines supporting this upward movement that the Bitcoin bullishness accelerate, recently, being the Asian session the key to price action. The Asian session places the impulses while the European and American sessions retraced the early morning gains.

From the indicators viewpoint, we can see that all indicators are currently bullish. Also, according to the CCI, the price is not too much overextended. If there is no price shatter today, we can expect retracements to visit the trendline. The green area would act as support in case of strong selling. The next target to break will be $13,685.

Ripple





XRPUSD made a bearish engulfing candlestick yesterday. The Stochastics is almost making a crossover, and the CCI remains in negative territory, while the MACD, also in a bearish phase, could soon be making a bullish transition. The outlook is neutral. We see Ripple moving sideways or slightly negative to re-visit its lower trendline.

Ethereum





Ethereum is moving in sync with Bitcoin, and it shows a bullish action. Its 4-hour chart shows the price continue moving up. Now, the Stochastics crossing announces a new leg up, while the CCI and MACD are changing to bullish also. The trendlines supporting the recent action show that the bullish action has sped up. The first target is, again $323.

Litecoin





Litecoin made a nice bullish candle on July 8, but since then the price has dropped, returning to its supports. Right now is moving in a strong support area. The Stochastics are oversold, and its lines made a bullish crossover. The CCI is bearish, while the MACD does not show much action as it happens with the price. To take bullish positions, we should wait for the price to move above the green region. If the price falls through it, the next support is $110.

EOS





EOSUSD price is moving inside a triangular structure near the support of $5.6. On the daily chart we see EOS is making lower tops, as shown by the upper trendline. MACD and CCI are showing slight bearish bias while the Stochastics lines seem poised to a bearish continuation crossover. We need to see the price below support to acknowledge another bearish leg. Also, a convincing bullish candle will change our vision.
