Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
After a downside break below USD 40,000, bitcoin price extended its decline. BTC even traded below USD 39,000 and USD 38,500. However, the bulls were active near the USD 38,000 zone. It is now trading in a range without clear direction. If the bulls gain strength, there could be a sustained upward move towards the USD 40,000 level.

Ethereum price
Ethereum price also extended its decline below the USD 2,500 level. ETH tested the USD 2,450 level, where the bulls appeared. On the upside, an immediate barrier is near the USD 2,500 level, above which the price might try to clear USD 2,550.

ADA, LTC, DOGE, and XRP price
Cardano (ADA) traded close to the USD 1.25 support level. It is now correcting losses and trading above USD 1.28. The first key resistance is near USD 1.30. A proper close above USD 1.30 might increase the chances of a move towards the USD 1.35 level.
Litecoin (LTC) is holding the USD 135 support level. If LTC recovers above USD 140, there are chances of a stronger increase. In this case, the price might rise toward the USD 150 level. Conversely, a break below USD 135 could lead the price towards the USD 125 support.
