Total market capitalization

In the past few sessions, bitcoin price struggled to continue higher above USD 9,300 and USD 9,320. BTC is currently trading below USD 9,200 and it is approaching the USD 9,150 support level. Any further losses may perhaps lead the price toward the USD 9,000 support. A bearish close below USD 9,000 could start a strong decline in the coming sessions.Conversely, a successful break above the USD 9,300 resistance level is likely to clear the path for a sustained upward move. The next major hurdle is near USD 9,500 and USD 9,550.

Ethereum price is down close to 2% and it is trading below the USD 240 level. The first major support is near the USD 235 level, below which there is a risk of more losses. The next support for ETH could be USD 230, followed by USD 228.On the upside, an initial resistance is near the USD 242 level. The main resistance is still near USD 245, above which the bulls might attempt to clear USD 250.

Bitcoin cash price dived 4% and it is gaining bearish momentum below the USD 230 level. BCH is likely to continue lower towards the USD 222 and USD 220 support levels. Any further losses might lead the price towards the USD 200 support. To start a fresh increase, the price must move back above USD 235.ADA is down 7% and it is trading below the USD 0.1250 support level. However, there are many supports near the USD 0.1200 level. As long as the price is above the USD 0.1200 level, the price is likely to start a fresh increase. On the upside, the bulls are likely to face hurdles near USD 0.1300 and USD 0.1320.XRP price failed to stay above the USD 0.202 and USD 0.200 support levels. XRP is declining and it is approaching the USD 0.195 level. The main support is near the USD 0.192 level, below which there is a risk of a sharp decline towards the USD 0.185 and USD 0.182 level. Conversely, a close above USD 0.202 could push the price higher in the near term.

In the past three sessions, many small-capitalization altcoins declined over 8%, including AMPL, NEXO, QNT, THETA, DOGE, BCD, CKB, SNX, REN, ATOM, BNT, and IOST. Conversely, AOA rallied close to 240% to surpass the USD 0.0125 level.
