Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price gained momentum above the $6,400 resistance and traded above the $6,500 resistance and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).
There was even a close above the $6,400 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $7,016 high to $6,251 swing low. However, the upside move was capped near a major hurdle at $6,600.
More importantly, there was no test of the 50% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $7,016 high to $6,251 swing low. The price corrected lower recently and it is currently trading near the $6,480 support area.
There is also a major ascending channel in place with support at $6,480 on the same chart. Should there be a break below the channel support, the price may perhaps test the $6,440 support area, which was a key resistance earlier.
As long as the price is above the channel support or $6,440, it could bounce back. On the upside, a proper break above the $6,600 resistance is needed for more gains in the near term. The next major resistance for buyers above $6,600 is near the $6,724, which is the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last slide.
On the other hand, if there is a break below the $6,440 support, the price will most likely move back in a negative zone towards $6,250.
Ethereum Price Analysis
Ethereum price followed a slow and steady uptrend from the $194 support area. ETH/USD traded above the $198 and $200 barriers to move into a positive zone.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price gained pace above the $200 level and broke the $207 resistance area. The upside move was strong as the price settled above the $205 pivot level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).
Moreover, there was a break above a crucial bearish trend line with resistance at $207 on the same chart. Buyers gained momentum and the price traded above the $215 and $220 levels.
It traded as high as $225 before starting a downside correction. The price traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $193 low to $225 high. However, there are many supports on the downside near the $209 level.
Besides, there is a bullish trend line in place with support at $210 on the same chart. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $193 low to $225 high is also near $209.
Therefore, if the price continues to move down, it could find a strong support near the $210 and $209 levels. Below the trend line, the main support is at $207, which was a resistance earlier.
On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $220 level, above which the price will most likely surpass the $225 swing high and trade to new monthly highs in the coming sessions.
Ripple Price Analysis
Ripple price gained bullish momentum this week and traded above the $0.4800 and $0.5000 resistance levels against the US Dollar. XRP/USD even managed to break the $0.5200 and $0.5500 levels before sellers appeared near the $0.5700 level.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price traded as high as $0.5702 before there was a downside correction. The price declined sharply and traded below the $0.5400 and $0.5300 support levels.
The decline was such that the price moved below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.4498 low to $0.5702 high. Sellers even pushed the price below the $0.5000 level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).
The price tested the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.4498 low to $0.5702 high. At the moment, the price is consolidating losses above the $0.5000 support with a bullish angle. On the downside, there is also a connecting bullish trend line with support at $0.4750.
Therefore, if the price dips from the current levels, it could find support near $0.4900 or $0.4750. On the upside, an initial resistance is at $0.5300 and the 21 SMA, above which the price will most likely break the $0.5450 barrier.
Overall, the price action is positive above $0.5000 and the price will most likely climb above $0.5300 and $0.5400 in the near term.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price cleared a major bearish trend line with resistance at $5.55 and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). The price traded as high as $5.83 and later started a downside correction.
Sellers pushed the price below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $5.05 low to $5.83 high, and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). However, the broken resistance at $5.50 and the previous bearish trend line is acting as a support.
Below $5.50, the next main support is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $5.05 low to $5.83 high at $5.44.
As long as the price is above the $5.50 and $5.44 levels, it could bounce back. On the upside, an initial resistance is at $5.60 and the 21 SMA, above which the price may well revisit the $5.80 zone. The main hurdle for buyers on the upside is near the $6.00 zone.
