Bitcoin price
There was yet another failure to clear the USD 6,600 and USD 6,650 resistances by bitcoin price . BTC/USD declined a few points, but it managed to stay above the USD 6,500 support. If there is a downside break, the price could test the next key support at USD 6,400.
On the other hand, the price must clear the USD 6,600 and USD 6,650 resistance levels to move into a bullish zone. In the mentioned case, the price is likely to accelerate gains above the USD 6,700 hurdle. The next major resistance above USD 6,700 is near USD 6,800.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price followed bitcoin and declined after it failed to stay above the USD 210 support. ETH/USD may perhaps continue to move down towards the USD 205 support.
If sellers push the price below the USD 205 support, the USD 200 will most likely hold losses. On the upside, the USD 215 resistance remains a significant hurdle for buyers.
Bitcoin cash and ripple price
Bitcoin cash price remained in a bearish zone and declined below the USD 450 support. It seems like BCH/USD may continue to move down and it may test the USD 440 support. Below this, the price may even test USD 425. On the upside, the main resistance for buyers are at USD 460 and USD 475.
Ripple price is holding gains above the USD 0.465. If XRP/USD corrects lower, it could test the USD 0.455 or USD 0.450 support level in the near term. To the topside, the USD 0.475 and USD 0.482 levels are important resistances.
