Bitcoin Price Analysis
This week, bitcoin price formed a strong support near the $10,400 level and started an upward move. BTC/USD rallied more than 25% and broke a few important resistances, including $11,500, $12,000 and $13,000.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price even broke the $13,500 level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). Finally, the price traded close to the $14,000 level before sellers emerged.
A new 2019 high was formed near $13,760 before the price started a strong decline. It tumbled more than 20% and broke the key supports near $13,000 and $12,000.
There was also a close below the $12,000 support and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). It opened the doors for more losses below $11,800 and the price even broke the $11,200 support area. However, the previous support zone near $10,400 acted as a crucial buy zone.
Moreover, there is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $10,500 on the same chart. The price is currently correcting higher and is trading near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $13,760 swing high to $10,417 low.
On the upside, there is a strong resistance near the $11,550 level. If there is a break above the $11,550 level, the price could recover towards $12,000 or the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).
The main resistance is near the $12,100 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $13,760 swing high to $10,417 low.
A successful close above the $12,000 level and a follow through above $12,100 might start a fresh increase in the near term.
Conversely, if bitcoin price slides below the main $10,400 support, it could move into a bearish zone and might decline towards the $9,600 or $9,200 support.
Ethereum Price Analysis
Ethereum price also followed a similar pattern and rallied above the $320.00 and $350.00 resistance levels. ETH price even spiked above the $360.00 level and traded to a new 2019 high near the $363.70 level.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price failed to continue higher and declined sharply below the $342.00 and $325.00 support levels. There was even a close below the $325.00 support and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).
It opened the doors for more losses and the price even broke the main $300.00 support area. The price is currently trading above the $275.00 support level and is consolidating losses.
There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support at $284.00 on the same chart. If the price fails to stay above the trend line and the $275.00 support, there is a risk of more losses. The next immediate support is near the $250.00 level, where the bulls may emerge.
On the upside, an initial resistance is near $300.00 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $263.67 high to $276.06 low.
Furthermore, there are many barriers near the $318.00, $320.00 and $325.00 levels. The 21 simple moving average (4-hours) is positioned near the $318.00 level to act as a resistance.
Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $263.67 high to $276.06 low is near $320.00. Therefore, Ethereum price must break the $320.00 and $325.00 resistance levels to move back in a positive zone.
If not, there is a risk of more losses below the trend line and the $275.00 support in the coming days.
Ripple Price Analysis
Ripple price traded above the $0.4750 and $0.4800 resistance levels against the US Dollar. However, the XRP/USD pair struggled to clear the main $0.4950 and $0.5000 resistance levels. It formed a double top pattern and recently declined heavily below $0.4600.

Moreover, the price traded below a key bullish trend line with support near $0.4300 on the same chart. It opened the doors for more losses and the price declined below the $0.4200 support.
It even spiked below $0.4000 and traded close to the $0.3800 support. A swing low was formed at $0.3903 and the price is currently correcting higher.
An initial resistance is near the $0.4145 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.4930 high to $0.3903 low. Above $0.4145 and $0.4200, the price could recover towards the next key resistance near $0.4420.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.4930 high to $0.3903 low is also near the $0.4420 level. Therefore, if the price corrects higher, it could face a strong resistance near $0.4400 and $0.4420 level.
On the downside, there is a strong support forming near the $0.3800 level. If ripple price fails to stay above the $0.3800 support, it could extend losses.
The next major support is near the $0.3550 and $0.3500 levels, below which XRP/USD might slide towards the $0.3200 pivot level.

A new weekly low was formed at $5.551 and the price is currently consolidating losses. An initial resistance is near the $5.920 level plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $7.407 high to $5.551 low.
If there is a steady rise above $6.000 and $6.050, the price could recover towards the $6.250 level. The next major resistance is near the $6.450 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $7.407 high to $5.551 low.
Conversely, if the price fails to settle above $6.050, it could continue to move down. A break below the $5.500 support might push the price towards the $5.250 level.
Top Gainers
During the past 7 days, a few small cap altcoins gained traction and climbed more than 100%, including XMX, BOX, EFYT, BTNT, YCC, IG, STPT, SEELE, UUU and LXT (trading volume more than $50K). Out of these, XMX rallied around 800% and BOX gained nearly 280%.
Overall, bitcoin price must stay above the key $10,400 support level to start a fresh increase. If BTC/USD extends losses below $10,400 and $10,000, there could be more downsides in major altcoins such as Ethereum, ripple, bitcoin cash, litecoin, XLM, ADA, TRX, EOS, ICX, BNB, XMR, NEO, and WTC.
