Total market capitalization

Bitcoin price

After forming a base above USD 34,500, bitcoin price recovered above USD 35,500 and USD 36,500. BTC even spiked above USD 37,200, but it is facing a strong selling interest. To continue higher, the price must settle above USD 37,200 and then gain bullish momentum above USD 38,000.
If there is a fresh decline, the USD 36,500 level might provide support. The next major support sits at USD 36,200, below which the price might revisit the USD 35,500 level.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price is up over 2% and it is trading above the USD 1,225 level. ETH is facing a major breakout zone at USD 1,250 and USD 1,265. A successful break and close above the USD 1,265 level could open the doors for a larger increase. In the stated case, the price might surge above USD 1,300.
On the downside, an initial support is near the USD 1,225 level. The first key support is at USD 1,220, below which the price could drop towards the USD 1,165 support.

Bitcoin cash, litecoin and XRP price

Bitcoin cash price gained 5% and it is now trading above USD 485. BCH is attempting a clear break above the USD 500 resistance.

XRP price stayed above the USD 0.265 support zone and it is now trading well above USD 0.280. The first key resistance is at USD 0.295. The main resistance is still at USD 0.300, above which the bulls might gain strength in the near term.
