BTC/USD

BTC's price has established a foundation well above $29,500 and $30,000 levels of resistance. With a break over the $32,000 and $33,500 resistance levels, BTC began a new upward trend.

The value even rose over the $35,000 mark and the 55-day simple moving average, indicating further strength (4-hours). The bulls successfully pushed the price over the $40,000 mark, but there was no more upward movement. Before the price reversed its gains, it reached a high of around $40,470.

However, the bears were active below $38,000, while the bulls were active above $36,500. A bottom was established around $36,440, and the pair began a new uptrend from that point. It closed above and below the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the negative movement from the $40,470 swing high to the $36,440 low.

At the moment, it is trying to build momentum over the $40,000 barrier level. On the downgrade, the $38,350 level seems to be a good place to look for support. A retracement mark of 50 percent of the current rise from the $36,440 swing low to $40,270 high has been reached.

Currently, the primary support is developing around $37,000. A major bullish trend line is forming on the 4-hour chart of the Bitcoin/USD pair, with support of around $37,000 serving as a resistance level. Upside, the first big Barrier is around the $40,000 mark, which represents a significant price increase. At the moment, the major resistance is developing around the $40,400 mark. It will need a closing above the $40,500 zone before the market sees another rise.

The price of bitcoin is trading over $35,000, and the 55 SMA is on the chart. Consequently, the price may dip, but in the short term, the bulls are expected to stay active at around $37,000.

The Moving Average convergence divergence (MACD) is gathering pace in the positive zone. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently well above the 50% mark.

ETH/USD

The start of the trading day was initially positive for ETHUSD as traders got involved in adding to previous gains, which had pushed the price as high as the $2390 mark.

Recent purchasing pressure, supported by buy stops above the 1976.2 and 78.6% retracements of the recent depreciating range from 2411.19 to 1718.41, has seen ETH/USD elevated from the 1995.8 and 76.4% levels.

The retracement range from $4384.43 to $1728. is 22.6% over the most previous declining range that started at 4384.43 and finished at 1728.

The upward retracement levels that provide further upside potential are $2742.76, $3056.22, $3369.67, $3757.51, and $3815.95. The current drop may cause support to be broken in several places, including 2231.50, 2133.45, 2054.21, 1974.96, and 1876.91. The traders are looking at the 50-bar Moving Average and the 200-bar Moving Average and seeing that it is bearishly suggesting lower than the 100-bar MA and above the 200-bar Moving Average.

When looking at price movement, the closest point to the 200-bar Moving Average is found at 2055.02, with the nearest point to the 50-bar MA (Hourly) located at 2196.55. Technical support is anticipated between 1700 and 1633.51, and the stoppages should occur below that.

It is estimated that resistance will be found around 3122.22/ 3420.10/ 3788.66, with stops found above this point.

The ETH RSI went over the 50% level a few days ago, indicating that investors may expect big things in the future. The MACD, on the other hand, continues to be negative.

XRP/USD

A couple of days ago, the value of XRPUSD increased by 3.06 percent. XRPUSD finished the day at $0.62558, reversing a 0.48 percent loss from the previous day.

Bullish from the start of the day, XRPUSD climbed from an intraday low of $0.60700 in the early morning to an intraday high of $0.67855 in the late afternoon. XRPUSD broke through the day's major resistance levels sooner than expected, resulting in a late retreat to ranges below $0.62.

The late retreat saw Ripple fall through the third major resistance level at $0.6453 and the second main resistance level at $0.6244 before bouncing back off the third main resistance level.

Late in the day, however, Ripple was able to break over the second major resistance level, allowing it to end the day at $0.625 to $0.65 levels. Ripple's value had dropped by 0.72 percent to $0.62105 per coin as at the time of this.

While Ripple's XRP rose to an early morning high of $0.62389 before tumbling to a low of $0.62105, the day started with a mixed bag of results for the cryptocurrency. Ripple did not test the most critical assistance and resistance ranges until later in the game.

According to data assessments, the RSI has closed up to 64 at this moment. It has been more than eight days since the MACD histogram has been ticking green.

Because the moving average is about to cross bearishly, there is a little bearish bias in the market. XRP may see a short-term decline below the primary support box if the moving average chooses to break below zero levels in the future.

LTC/USD

As the crypto market fought downward pressure, the price of LTC fell 13.8 percent last week to trade at a low of $103 per coin. The LTC/USD pair has maintained a bullish trend this week, with intra-week highs over $140 indicating a key resistance line.

LTC is now trading at $137, up about 6% on the day and nearly 23% in the last seven days, above the bullish trendline. The Litecoin price prediction for the next several days, as seen in the 4-hour chart below, may feature a significant breakthrough over the $140 mark.

The bullish view will be bolstered if Bitcoin breaks and holds over the $40,000 level. This morning, the benchmark cryptocurrency tested this price level in trades.

According to experts, there's a chance that the BTCUSD pair may break over the Barrier mentioned above in a new upward surge.

Bulls are actively attempting to purchase the latest drop, as shown by the extended tail on the final candlestick on the chart.

The current increase in pricing has been bolstered by the outlook, which has seen Litecoin bounce off the rising trendline four times last week.

The resiliency comes after a bullish divergence for LTC, which saw a 47.5 percent rise in unique addresses despite a 13.8 percent drop in price.

The 365-day MVRV ratio for Litecoin also points to a rebound as the indicator spiked beyond levels last seen when LTCUSD was at its lowest point in 2019 and 2020.

Technical indicators continue to favor bulls on the 4-hour chart. The RSI is still above 60, the MACD is in the bullish zone, and the 20 EMA ($131) shows a rising curve (principal support).

While the price may still fall, bulls will have a clean chance at $140, then $150, or perhaps higher, if prices stay above $130. If LTC/USD continues to fall, the next important support level is around $128, followed by the 4-hour chart's 50 SMA ($123).

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that the bears have all of the cards with a value of 56.97.

In a similar vein, the MACD Histogram has broken out of an interlocking streak, but the value is still negative, indicating that the trend will reverse from bearish to bullish.

BCH/USD

The price of BCH has risen by approximately 26% in the last week. BCH has traded in a range of $472.75 and $505.50 during the past 24 hours.

BCH is now priced at $513.79 per share. In comparison to the day's starting price of $502.19. the price has risen. As a result, the market seems to be optimistic.

The MACD and signal lines are both in the positive territory. The MACD line has crossed above the signal line in a bullish fashion, which is a positive development.

As a result, the market's overall momentum is favorable. As a result, we may anticipate that the price will begin to rise.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is now at 58 percent. It was rejected by 61 percent of those who voted, and the percentage dropped to the present level.

As a result, purchasing pressures are reduced. The price of Bitcoin Cash will rise as a result of increased purchasing activity.

The OBV indicator, on the other hand, is trending downward. As a result, sales volumes are greater than purchases volumes. As a result, the price may decrease even more.

Shortly put, the OBV indicator has produced negative indications, while the MACD and RSI indicators have produced bullish signals. As a result, we must wait and see if the bullish momentum continues or whether a trend reversal happens.

Presently, the price is above the Fib pivot point of $493.52, which indicates a bullish trend. The price may soon climb over the first Fib pivot resistance level of $506.03, representing a significant upward move.

Following that, we'll have to wait and see if the price continues to climb or begins to decrease.

The price has been challenged and broken out of the FIB retracement level of $497.77, representing a 23.6 percent correction. It has the potential to climb much higher beyond the 23.6 percent FIB extension level of $513.23.

The price will have to recheck and fall below these levels before the day's conclusion for the downward trend to be strong enough to last until the next day.

Because the RSI is still above 50, the bulls are in charge. The MACD histogram still is negative, as it has been for some time, even though it does not seem to be interlocked in this region over the last several days.
