1) BTC/USD
We anticipate a stiff resistance in the $6,480–$6,700 zone. Therefore, traders can book 50% profits on the existing long positions at the current levels and trail the stops on the rest to $5,800.If the BTC/USD pair breaks out of the resistance zone, it can rally to $7,500 but we give this a low probability of occurring. The pair will weaken if it slides and sustains below the critical support of $5,900 expect the cryptocurrency to form a higher floor between $4,255 and $4,914.11 in the next fall.
2) ETH/USD
The ETH/USD pair will pick up momentum on a breakout above the $190.54–$198.62 resistance zone. The target level to watch on the upside following the breakout is $225 and above it $256.When a breakout of a bullish pattern fails to pick up momentum, it can be a bull trap. Therefore, we suggest traders trail the stops higher on the existing long positions from $146 to $160.
3) XRP/USD
XRP continues to trade in the lower half of the $0.27795–$0.33108 range.If successful, the digital currency can move above it to $0.33108.If the XRP/USD pair reverses direction and dives below $0.27795, it can retest the yearly low of $0.24508. The pair will show signs of a possible reversal if it breaks out and sustains above the $0.33108–$0.37835 resistance zone. We expect the digital currency to pick up momentum and rally to $0.45 and above it to $0.565 if it sustains above the zone.above it to $0.33108.
4) BCH/USD
This suggests a range-bound trade between $255 and $335.62.The target to watch on the upside is $424.02. On the other hand, if the pair breaks down of the $255–$227.70 support zone, it can slide to $166.98.
