BTC/USD
Yesterday, in the first half of the day after the morning high, the rise in the Bitcoin (BTC) price continued a little more to a new summer record near the $50,560 mark. At the same time, sales volumes began to significantly exceed the average level, and the price started to decline.

Before the end of the day, the pair rolled back to the level of $49,000. This morning, the price returned to the area of the two-hour EMA55, setting a local minimum at $48,765.
If bears push through the level of average prices, then the nearest support—which might limit the decline—may become the $47,745 level.
Bitcoin is trading at $48,491 at press time.

Binance Coin (BNB) has joined the list of losers, going down by 2.68% over the past 24 hours.

Binance Coin (BNB) could not fix above the vital $500 mark, having formed a false breakout. At the moment, one needs to pay close attention to the level of $483.
If bears succeed and fix below it, there is a high possibility of seeing the ongoing decline to another support at $458.
BNB is trading at $482.87 at press time.

Yesterday, buyers made a desperate attempt to break through the resistance of $1.30, but the XRP price could not hold above this level and, in the afternoon, the pair returned to the support of $1.20.
