Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price started an upside correction from the $9,100 swing low. It broke the $10,000 resistance and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the major decline from the $13,170 high to $9,100 swing low.

The pair even climbed above the $10,500 resistance and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). Finally, there was a spike above the $11,000 level. However, the upward move was capped near the $11,200 level.

More importantly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the major decline from the $13,170 high to $9,100 swing low acted as a strong resistance. As a result, the price topped near $11,136 and the price declined steadily below the $10,500 and $10,200 support levels.

The price is now trading well below the $10,000 resistance and it seems like there is a key breakout pattern forming on the same chart. If there is an upside break above $10,000 and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours), the price could continue to rise.

The next stop for the bulls could be near the $11,100 level, above which the price could surge towards the $11,800 resistance.

Conversely, if the price fails to climb above the $10,000 and $10,150 resistance levels, there could be additional losses. An immediate support is near the $9,500-9,400 area, below which bitcoin price could even break the $9,100 support area.

Ethereum Price Analysis

Ethereum price started a short term upside correction after trading towards the $191.00 level. ETH price recovered above the $200.00 and $210.00 levels, but the upward move was capped by $235.00 and it seems like the price might resume its slide in the coming sessions.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price formed a swing low at $191.67 and recovered above $200.00. Moreover, there was a close above the $200.00 level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).

The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last major drop from the $318.75 high to $191.67 low. However, the price failed to gain bullish momentum above the $230.00 level and topped near the $235.00 level.

The price is currently following a bearish trend line with resistance at $220.00 on the same chart. If there is an upside break above the trend line, the price could recover towards the $240.00 level.

There is another bearish trend line forming with resistance near the $240.00 level on the same chart. Lastly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major drop from the $318.75 high to $191.67 low might act as a resistance.

On the downside, an immediate support is near the $212.00 level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). If there is a downside break below $212.00 and $210.00, the price is likely to accelerate losses below $200.00. The next key supports are near $190.00 and $184.00.

Ripple Price Analysis

Ripple price started a slow and steady rise from the $0.2830 low against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair broke the $0.3000 and $0.3150 resistance levels, but it struggled to continue above the key $0.3400 resistance area and recently started a fresh decline.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price traded as high as $0.3407 before it started a fresh decline. It broke the $0.3280 support and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).

Moreover, the bears were able to push the price below the $0.3200 support plus the 50% Fib retracement level of the last recovery from the $0.2830 low to $0.3407 high.

However, the $0.3050 support seems to be acting as a support along with the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last recovery from the $0.2830 low to $0.3407 high. It seems like there is a crucial contracting triangle forming with resistance near $0.3180 on the same chart.

If there is an upside break above the $0.3180 resistance, the price could climb towards the $0.3400 resistance. However, the main resistance for the bulls for a larger upward move is near the $0.3500 level.

On the downside, an immediate support is near the $0.3070 level. If the price breaks down below $0.3070 and $0.3050, there could be a sharp drop in the near term. In the mentioned case, the price may perhaps revisit or break the $0.2830 low.

Litecoin Price Analysis

Litecoin price started a solid recovery after it tested the $75.00-76.00 zone against the US Dollar. The LTC/USD pair gained bullish traction and broke the $90.00 resistance. However, the bulls failed to gain strength above $100.00 and the price recently trimmed most its gains.

Litecoin Price Analysis LTC Chart

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price traded as high as $106.31 and declined below $100.00. The recent decline gained pace below the $95.00 support plus the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).

Moreover, the price traded below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $76.23 low to $106.31 high. The decline was such that the price even traded below the $90.00 support.

However, the $85.00-86.00 support area is acting as a strong buy zone. On the upside, there is a key resistance forming near $96.00 and a connecting bearish trend line on the same chart.

If there is an upside break above the trend line, the price could start a fresh increase. The next key resistance is near $106.00 and $112.00. Any further upsides might push the price towards the $120.00 level.

Conversely, if there is a downside break below the $85.00 support, litecoin price might accelerate declines. In the mentioned bearish scenario, LTC price could revisit the $76.00 swing low in the coming days.

Top Gainers

During the past 7 days, a few small cap altcoins gained traction and climbed more than 100%, including PPT, CCX, MPAY, VOCO, PRA and DXR (trading volume more than $50K). Out of these, PPT rallied around 620% and CCX gained nearly 250%.

Overall, bitcoin price is struggling to start a solid recovery above the $10,000 level. If BTC/USD continues to struggle below $10,000 and $10,150, there is a risk of a sharp drop below $9,400 and $9,100. Similarly, there could be more losses in major altcoins such as Ethereum, ripple, bitcoin cash, litecoin, XLM, ADA, TRX, EOS, ICX, BNB, XMR, NEO, and WTC in the coming days.
