1) BTC/USD
After trading above $8,000 for three days, profit booking set in that dragged the price to just under $7,000. We had planned to close the long position today but before that, the fall hit our recommended stop loss at $7,100.The bulls will again try to push the BTC/USD pair back above $8,500. If successful, the next target to watch on the upside is $10,000.The momentum will weaken and the fall can extend to $5,900. We will wait for the price to find support and indicate a POSITION.
2) ETH/USD
The pullback in the ETH/USD pair has dragged it to the support at $225.39. If successful, we anticipate another attempt to push the price towards $300.If the traders are still holding any positions, they can raise the stop loss to $200. The stop loss can be trailed higher if the pair rebounds off $225.39.
3) XRP/USD
Profit booking has dragged the price below the support at $0.37835.We anticipate a move back to $0.45. On a breakout above $0.45, the pair can rally to $0.60, with minor resistances at $0.50 and $0.55. No trade should be attempted if the bears sink the digital currency.
4) BCH/USD
The bulls still hold the advantage.Te will wait for the price to bounce off the support line of the channel before proposing a trade in it because a breakdown of the channel will turn the trend in favor of the bears.The support line channel is @ 288.71 & resistance line channel is at $480.
