The Ethereum-token sector behaved particularly well, with LINK(+11.96%) leading gains among the top capitalized, followed by MKR(+8.56%) and BAT(+8.18%).

The Market capitalization of the crypto sector moved back to the $200 billion range and is currently $203.558 billion, on a 24-hour volume of $57.29 billion(+84.3%), whereas, the dominance of Bitcoin descends slightly to 64.53%.

Technical Analysis - Bitcoin

Bitcoin has moved up after yesterday's breakout of the $7000 level and moved as we had envisioned towards the $7,400 level, which is acting as a resistance level. We see its price making a doji near the +3SD Bollinger line, so we think it is slightly overbought, but also, it shows that the bullish momentum is strong. Thus, we believe it has room to continue moving to the $7,700 level.

Support	Pivot Point	Resistance
6,550	6,800	7,400
6,180		7,700
5,850		8,050

Ethereum

Ethereum buyers have boosted ETH's price after yesterday's breakout from the wedge structure. Buyers had enough strength also to pierce through several resistance levels and bring its price to the $170 range. ETH also made a doji while touching the +3SD line, but the momentum seems still strong enough to challenge the $180 level and to continue climbing into that range.

Support	Pivot Point	Resistance
142.00	150.00	152.00
128.00		165.00
119.00		180.00

Ripple

Ripple has finally found buyers. After the breakout of the triangular structure, the price went straight up and pierced through the upper side of the wedge, the $0.19, and $0.2 levels. Now it is in a zone of the previous consolidation, this it will be more difficult for the price to continue straight up. Right now, XRP is a bit overbought and with strong upward momentum, so it is possible the upward movement would continue a bit further up, but it would not surprise a sideways action for a while, also.

Support	Pivot Point	Resistance
0.1700	0.1800	0.1900
0.1600		0.2000
0.1600		0.2070
