Crypto Price Analysis & Overview July 9: BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA, SOL

Bitcoin

After another volatile week, Bitcoin is currently down 2% on the weekly. BTC rebounded from $33K on Monday and pushed higher to meet the upper angle of a symmetrical triangle pattern, as seen on the charts below.

Unfortunately, BTC could not break out and quickly rolled over from there into $33,520 support on Tuesday. After another failed retest of the upper angle on Wednesday (at $35K), BTC heavily rejected and broke to the downside.

Since the breakdown of the triangle, it has found support at $32K, which was the lowest price BTC traded at over the past two weeks, and as of now, BTC is mostly consolidating around the $33K mark.

Looking ahead, the first support lies between $32,730 and $32,270. This is followed by $31,600 (double-bottom support), $31,185 (downside 1.618 Fib Extension), $30,600, and $30,000.

On the other side, the first resistance lies at $33,000. This is followed by $33,520, $34,000 (20-day MA & descending trend-line), $35,000, and $35,900 (50-day MA).

Ethereum

Ethereum is trading near the same price from a week ago, amid the $2K mark. The coin bounced from the 20-day MA at around $2080 at the start of the week and pushed higher into the $2340 – 2400 resistance zone (MA-50 and 0.236 Fib level), failing to break above it on two occasions – Sunday and Wednesday.

After multiple failed attempts to sustain $2340, ETH rolled over yesterday after hitting the 50-day MA the day before. It then broke a short-term rising wedge and collapsed back into the 20-day MA zone around $2100. As of earlier today, ETH spiked lower to $2035 (Feb-2021 highs) but has bounced back since, attempting to remain above the 20-day MA once again.

Looking ahead, the first major resistance lies at $2200. This is followed by $2340 – $2400 (bearish .236 Fib & 50-day MA), $2560 (100-day MA), and $2725 (bearish .382 Fib).

On the other side, the first support lies at $2100 (20-day MA). This is followed by $2000 (200-day MA), $1888 (.886 Fib), and $1710 (mid-March support).

There, it found resistance at a short-term bearish .618 Fib Retracement and rolled over yesterday. Finally, it collapsed beneath the 50-day MA, breaking beneath the wedge, and continued into support at 0.0636 BTC today, provided by a .382 Fib and the lower angle of the price channel.

Moving forward, if the sellers break 0.0636 BTC, the first support lies at 0.0619 BTC (MA-20 & .5 Fib). This is followed by 0.061 BTC, 0.06 BTC, and 0.0585 BTC.

XRP/USD made multiple attempts to break above the 20-day MA, along with the channel, but just like the market sentiment – failed on every attempt. Yesterday XRP broke down into support at $0.6.

Looking ahead, if the bears continue beneath $0.6, the first support lies at $0.556 (2019 highs). This is followed by $0.5, $0.47, $0.4 (lower angle of the price channel), and $0.35 (Feb 2020 highs).
