Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP gain slightly on Monday, traders prepare for US macro release this week


  • Bitcoin hovers around the $63,000 level on Monday, almost flat in the day. 
  • Ethereum ranges around the psychologically important $2,500 level as creator Vitalik Buterin pledges 100 Ether to support Tornado Cash developer. 
  • XRP edges higher and holds above $0.5300 on Monday, gaining over 1% in the day. 

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP updates

  • Bitcoin hovers around $63,000 on Monday, a key level for BTC. The asset gains 0.33% on the day. According to data from Farside Investors, BTC ETFs noted $25.6 million in net inflows on Friday. 
  • The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, a metric used to assess the sentiment of crypto market participants, shows a neutral level after “greed” last week. 
  • Ethereum trades at $2,471, close to the psychologically important $2,500 level for the altcoin.
  • XRP sustains above the $0.5200 support and trades at $0.5371 on Monday. 

Chart of the day: Dogwifhat (WIF)

Dogwifhat (WIF) ranks among trending crypto tokens that yielded double-digit gains for traders in the last 24 hours, offering 14.57% gains for holders on Binance spot markets during the mentioned time frame. 

WIF trades at $2.607 at the time of writing. The meme token could add 13% to its value and rally to the lower boundary of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $2.935 and $3.220, as seen in the WIF/USDT daily chart below. 

Conversely, the meme coin could find support at the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $2.376. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows green histogram bars above the neutral line. There is positive momentum underlying the WIF price trend.

WIF/USDT daily chart

A daily candlestick close below $2.538 could invalidate the bullish thesis. In that case, WIF could sweep liquidity at the lower boundary of the FVG at $2.389.
