Bitcoin Price
After a follow-through move above USD 14,500, bitcoin price rallied by more than USD 1,200. BTC broke many hurdles near USD 15,000 and USD 15,500. It traded close to the USD 16,000 resistance level and recently started a downside correction. There was a break below USD 15,750 level, and the price is now consolidating near USD 15,500.
Initial support on the downside is near the USD 15,350 level. The primary backing is now forming near the USD 15,050 and USD 15,000 levels. On the upside, the USD 15,750 level is an immediate hurdle, above which the bulls might aim a break above USD 16,000.
Ethereum Price
Ethereum finally started following bitcoin price rally, and it broke the USD 425 resistance. ETH even cleared the USD 435 resistance and spiked above the USD 440 level. The price is currently correcting lower, but dips might remain limited below USD 420.
If there is a new increase, the USD 435 and USD 440 resistance levels might act as hurdles. A clear break above USD 440 may perhaps push the price above USD 450 and USD 452.
Bitcoin Cash, Chainlink and XRP Price
Bitcoin cash is up 3%, and it surpassed the USD 245 and USD 250 resistance levels. BCH is approaching the USD 255 resistance, above which it could aim a test of the USD 265 resistance. Any further gains could lead the price towards the USD 280 level. On the downside, the price might find bids near the USD 240 level.
Chainlink (LINK) formed a strong support base near USD 9.80 and USD 10.00. As a result, there was a new increase above the USD 10.50 resistance level. The bulls had the upper hand, and they managed to clear the USD 11.00 resistance. The price is now trading above USD 11.00, and it seems like there are chances of a move towards USD 12.00.
XRP spiked above the USD 0.245 resistance level to move into a positive zone. The price even climbed above USD 0.250, but it is struggling to gain pace above the USD 0.252 and USD 0.254 levels. The primary resistance is near USD 0.255. If there is a downside correction, the USD 0.245 level is a decent support zone.
