Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price even climbed above the $5,200 level and settled well above the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). A new yearly high was formed at $5,334 before the price started a downside correction.
The price dipped below the $5,200 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $4,124 swing low to $5,334 high.
However, the $4,850 level acted as a solid support along with the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). The price recently recovered and it seems like buyers are likely to push the price above the $5,000 and $5,050 levels.
At the outset, an ascending channel seems to be forming with support near $4,900. If there is a downside break below the channel support, the price might test the $4,730 support area. It represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $4,124 swing low to $5,334 high.
On the other hand, if the price continues to follow a decent bullish path, there are chances of a fresh increase above the $5,200 level. The current trend is overall positive for bitcoin buyers and there are high chances of a break above the $5,400 and $5,450 resistance levels in the coming sessions.
The next key resistance is at $5,500, where sellers are likely to emerge. On the downside, buyers need to keep a close eye on the $4,900, $4,850 and $4,730 support levels.
Ethereum Price Analysis
Ethereum price surged higher and broke the $147 and $150 resistance levels to move into a positive zone. ETH buyers gained control and the price rallied above the $165 and $172 resistance levels.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price even spiked above the $180 resistance level and a new yearly high was formed just below $182. Later, there was a downside correction below the $172 and $165 support levels.
The price traded below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $141 swing low to $182 swing high. However, the $154 level acted as a strong support and the price climbed back above $160 and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).
The price even found support near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $141 swing low to $182 swing high. The current structure is positive and suggests a fresh increase above the $162 level.
However, the price must break the $165 resistance level to set the path for a test of $175 and $180 in the near term. On the downside, a break below the $156 level may push Ethereum price towards the $152 support.
There is also a key bullish trend line formed with support at $151 on the same chart. Overall, dips remain supported in ETH and the price is likely to climb back above $165 and $170.
Ripple Price Analysis
After a couple of swing moves, ripple price formed a strong support near the $0.3000 level against the US Dollar. XRP/USD started a significant upward move and broke the $0.3200 and $0.3295 resistance levels to move into a positive trend.

Later, there was a downside correction below the $0.3500 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.2986 low to $0.3749 high. However, the previous breakout resistance at $0.3295 acted as a strong support.
Besides, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.2986 low to $0.3749 high acted as a support. Recently, the price bounced back above $0.3550 and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).
The price has reversed most its losses and it seems like it could even break the $0.3750 and $0.3760 resistance levels. The next key stop for buyers could be $0.3880 or even $0.3950.
On the other hand, if there is a downside correction, the price is likely to find a solid buying interest near the $0.3500 or $0.3450 zones.
EOS Price Analysis
There was a crucial upside break in EOS price above the $3.92 and $4.00 resistance levels against the US Dollar. The price rallied above the $4.50, $4.60 and $5.00 resistance levels to start a solid uptrend.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price even climbed above the $5.50 level and settled above the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). A new 2019 high was formed at $5.984 before the price started a downside correction.
It traded below the $5.50 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $4.19 low to $5.98 high. However, the $4.85 level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours) acted as a significant support and prevented more losses.
Besides, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $4.19 low to $5.98 high acted as a support. The price is once again moving higher towards the $5.40 and $5.60 resistance levels.
If buyers remain in action, the price could surpass the $6.00 resistance in the near term. On the downside, there are many supports near the $5.00, $4.85 and $4.80 levels.
