Total Market Capitalization
Bitcoin Price
After another failed attempt near USD 27,250, Bitcoin started a downward move. BTC breached the USD 26,500 support level to move into a short-term bearish zone. It even traded below USD 26,200, and it seems to be struggling to stay above USD 26,000. If there are more losses, the bears might test the USD 25,500 level.
If there is a new increase, the previous support at USD 26,500 might act as a resistance. The primary resistance on the upside seems to be forming near USD 27,000 and USD 27,250.
Ethereum Price
Ethereum (ETH) extended its rise towards the USD 750 level before starting a downside correction. ETH traded below the USD 720 and USD 718 support levels. It even spiked below USD 700. If there are more downsides, the bulls might remain active near the USD 685 and USD 680 levels in the near term.
On the upside, the USD 720 level may act as a barrier once again. A close above USD 720 could open the doors for a new increase towards the USD 745 and USD 750 levels.
Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Ripple Price
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) also corrected lower and traded below the USD 350 support level. BCH is approaching the USD 330 support level. If there is a close below USD 330, there is a risk of an extended decline towards the USD 312 and USD 310 levels. On the upside, the USD 350 level is a significant pivot level.
Litecoin (LTC) revived below USD 130, and it is testing the USD 125 support. If there are more losses, the bears might try the USD 118 and USD 115 support levels. The next significant support is near the USD 105 level. Conversely, a new increase may face sellers near the USD 132 level.
Ripple (XRP) failed to overcome selling pressure near USD 0.300. As a result, there was a fresh decline below USD 0.250. The XRP accelerated its decline after Coinbase said it would suspend XRP trading in January.
The XRP is now approaching the USD 0.220 support, below which it could dive towards the USD 0.200 level.
Other Alts Market Today
Some altcoins achieved over 5% in the past few hours, including DOT, ADA, BNB, CEL, CHSB, ICX, REP, and LUNA. Out of these, DOT surged above the USD 6.00 and USD 6.20 resistance levels.
In general, Bitcoin is correcting gains under USD 26,500. If BTC declines below USD 26,000, there is a risk of a more vital decline towards USD 25,500 or even USD 24,800 in the following sessions.
