1) BTC/USD
It plunged on June 3 and 4, which pulled it back to the critical support of $7,413.46. The bears will try to make use of this opportunity and sink the BTC/USD pair below $7,413.46.Our view will be invalidated if the bulls defend $7,413.46. In such a case, a consolidation between $7,413.46 and $9,053.12 is possible. The cryptocurrency will pick up momentum above $9,053.12. We will wait before suggesting long positions once again.
2) ETH/USD
Ethereum (ETH) corrected back close to the support of $225.39 on June 3 where buying emerged. If the bulls defend $225.39, the cryptocurrency might rally to $280 where it is again likely to face resistance. On the other hand, a breakdown of $225.39 will indicate weakness.We are currently neutral on the digital currency.
3) XRP/USD
Ripple (XRP) to the critical support of $0.37835.Our view will be invalidated if the bears sink the XRP/USD pair below the $0.37835–$0.35660 support zone. Therefore, traders can protect the remaining long position with the stop loss of $0.35.
4) BCH/USD
BCH/USD has gone up from $383.20 to $398.65 this Wednesday.Overall, the market sentiment still looks bearish.Bitcoin Cash is trading at $389.17 following a 2.15% loss on the day.Although a shallow recovery made it above $400, the upside is still limited.Rising selling pressure has made it hard for the buyers to keep the price above $400.
