Crypto Price Analysis & Overview March 19th: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Binance Coin, and Cardano

We saw a rollercoaster of price action over the past seven days as Bitcoin went to set a new all-time high slightly below $62K, only to retrace to about $53K a couple of days later. Most of the altcoins followed suit, though some came out of it better than others.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is up by a small 2% over the past week as it trades at the $59,000 level. The cryptocurrency had surged higher last weekend to set a new ATH at $61,781. It was trading inside an ascending price channel for the majority of March until it hit the ATH over the weekend.

From there, Bitcoin started to fall at the beginning of the week. Initially, it found support at $55,465 (.382 Fib) on Monday but continued to spike lower into $53,500 (.5 Fib) on Tuesday. Luckily, the daily candle for Tuesday closed above $55,465, and it allowed BTC to rebound from there,

Yesterday, BTC spiked higher to $60,000 but eventually closed the daily candle at $58,000. Today, it is now pushing $59,000.

Looking ahead, the first level of strong resistance lies at $60,000. This is followed by $61,780 (ATH price) and $62,500. Additional resistance lies at $65,000, $66,000, and $67,500.

On the other side, the first level of support lies at $58,000. This is followed by $55,465 (.382 Fib), $55,000, $53,500 (.5 Fib), and $51,540 (.618 Fib).

Ethereum

Ethereum pretty much moved sideways this week as it trades along with the support at $1755. The coin was trading at this level last Friday but managed to spike above $ 1900 over the weekend. However, as Bitcoin started to drop on Monday, Etheruem also headed lower until finding support at $1755.

It has now traded between $1755 and $1875 for the past fortnight (besides the weekend spike higher) and must break this range to dictate the next direction for the market.

Looking ahead, the first level of resistance lies at $1875 (1.414 Fib Extension – yellow). This is followed by resistance at $1900, $1960 (1.272 Fib Extension & All-time high day closing price), $2000, and $2036 (ATH).

On the other side, the first level of support lies at $1755. This is followed by $1695 (.382 Fib), $1620 (.5 Fib), $1540 (.618 Fib), and $1425 (previous ATH).

Etheruem has also moved sideways this past week against BTC. It was trading at support around 0.0305 BTC last Friday but managed to push into the resistance at the 200-day EMA during the week. Unfortunately, it could not close a daily candle above the 200-day EMA at around 0.0321 BTC and ended up rolling over the past few days.

It dropped until support was found at 0.0305 BTC again yesterday and has since pushed slightly higher to 0.0309 BTC.

Looking ahead, the first level of resistance lies at 0.0318 BTC (Dec 2020 highs). This is followed by resistance at 0.0321 (200-days EMA), 0.0337 BTC (March 2019 lows & 100-days EMA), and 0.035 BTC (March resistance).

On the other side, the first level of support lies at 0.035 BTC (.886 Fib). This is followed by 0.03 BTC, 0.0295 BTC, 0.0289 BTC, and 0.0284 BTC (Feb 2020 Highs).

XRP saw a small 4.5% price hike this week as it currently trades at $0.47. The cryptocurrency fell beneath $0.45 last week as it found support at the 100-day EMA at around $0.42. Throughout the week, XRP started to push higher and even managed to spike higher above $0.5 on Tuesday.

Unfortunately, it was unable to sustain these highs and has since dropped to $0.45.

Binance Coin saw a sharp 7% price fall over the last week as it currently sits at $266. The cryptocurrency had been trading at $295 at the start of the week as it started to drop lower and headed beneath support at $262 (.382 Fib Retracement).

After breaking beneath this support, BNB managed to bounce from the support at the lower boundary of the symmetrical triangle it is currently trading within. BNB will need to break one of the boundaries of this triangle to dictate the next direction for the market moving forward.

Looking ahead, if the buyers break the upper boundary of the triangle, the first level of resistance lies at $295. This is quickly followed by resistance at $300, $326 (1.272 Fib Extension), $348 (1.414 FIb Extension & ATH), and $380 (1.618 Fib Extnesion).

BNB has been relatively static against Bitcoin over the past week. It did drop from above 0.005 BTC last Friday to reach support around 0.0045 BTC (.5 Fib). It has held this support over the past week of trading.

Looking ahead, if the bears drop BNB beneath 0.0045 BTC, the first level of support lies at 0.00406 BTC (.618 Fib). This is followed by support at 0.004 BTC, 0.00387 BTC, 0.00338 BTC (.786 Fib), and 0.00316 BTC (Sep 2020 Highs).

Most of the gains came on Tuesday when Cardano surged from $1.00 to reach $1.25. It continued higher through Wednesday and Thursday to reach as high as $1.47.

Unfortunately, it could not close a daily candle above resistance at $1.37 (1.414 FIb Extension) and fell from there today to reach the support at $1.22 (.5 Fib). It has since bounced higher slightly as it trades at $1.27.

Looking ahead, the first level of resistance lies at $1.37 (1.414 Fib Extension). This is followed by $1.46 (1.618 Fib Extension), $1.50, and $1.62 (1.272 Fib Extension). Added resistance lies at $1.70, $1.74, and $1.80.
