The price climbed above the USD 4,400 and USD 4,500 resistance levels to set the pace for a recovery. The next major resistance is at USD 4,700, above which the price could trade towards the USD 4,900 - USD 5,000 resistance zone.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price cleared the USD 140 level and traded towards the USD 125 support. Later, ETH/USD started a recovery and climbed above the USD 130 and USD 132 levels.

However, there are many resistances for buyers near the USD 140, USD 142 and USD 145 levels. The main hurdle for a major recovery is near the USD 150 level. On the downside, key supports are USD 130 and USD 125.

Bitcoin cash and ripple price

Bitcoin cash ABC jumped sharply and gained more than 20% to USD 240. The USD 200 level proved to be a strong support for BCHABC, resulting in a sharp upward move. BCHSV also recovered a few points and traded above the USD 60 resistance.

Ripple price declined heavily towards the USD 0.400 support where buyers emerged. XRP/USD bounced back and it is currently (UTC 08:30 AM) up more than 6% to USD 0.460. An immediate resistance is at USD 0.470 followed by USD 0.480.

A few small cap altcoins recovered more than 10% today, including ARK, FCT, MKR, ETN, RDD, HC, NXT and NEXO. Out of these, ARK climbed around 34% and FCT rallied close to 30%.

Overall, bitcoin sellers seem to be exhausted below USD 4,400. Therefore, there are chances of a rebound in BTC/USD above the USD 4,700 level in the near term. Similarly, altcoins like ethereum, ripple, neo, litecoin and bitcoin cash could stage a recovery. On the other hand, if bitcoin price fails to surpass the USD 4,700 and USD 4,800 resistances, there could be a fresh decline towards USD 4,300 or even USD 4,100.
