Bitcoin Price

After a clear break above USD 42,000, the bitcoin surged over USD 5,000. BTC even cleared the USD 45,000 and USD 46,000 levels. It traded close to USD 47,500 before starting a consolidation phase. The price remains elevated and it seems like there are chances of more upsides above USD 48,000. The next major resistance on the upside could be near USD 50,000.

Initial support on the downside is near the USD 46,200 level. The first significant support sits at USD 45,500, below which the price might start an extended downside correction.

Meanwhile, some analysts claim that Tesla‘s purchase of USD 1.5bn in BTC may have forced cryptocurrencies onto the agenda of corporate treasurers globally.

“We see fundamental reasons for corporate crypto treasury exposure and expect others to follow suit. We don’t think this happens overnight, but we do think there’s much more room for corporate treasury penetration and expect the trend to continue,” wrote strategists at Fundstrat Global Advisors, as announced by Bloomberg.

Ethereum Price

Ethereum (ETH) also gained bullish momentum beyond the USD 1,700 level. ETH spiked beyond USD 1,750 and traded to a new all-time high near USD 1,775. It is struggling to gain pace above USD 1,775. If there is a close above USD 1,775, the bulls might test USD 1,850 or even USD 1,900.

If there is a downside correction, the USD 1,700 zone is a decent support. The next major support is now forming near the USD 1,650 level.

ADA, Litecoin, and XRP Price

Cardano (ADA) remained stable above USD 0.650 and it extended its rally above USD 0.700. ADA traded as high as USD 0.725 and it is correcting gains. Initial support is near the USD 0.672 level. The main support is now near USD 0.650, below which there is a risk of a larger decline. On the upside, the USD 0.725 level is short-term resistance.

Litecoin (LTC) gained over 10% and it cleared the USD 155 and USD 165 resistance levels. LTC is now trading above USD 170 and it might climb further towards the USD 178 and USD 180 levels. If there is a downside correction, the bulls might remain active near USD 165.

Ripple (XRP) price is gaining momentum above USD 0.450 resistance. The price even cleared the USD 0.465 level and it might move towards the USD 0.492 and USD 0.500 resistance levels. Any more gains might set the pace for a drive towards the USD 0.550 level in the near term.
