Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ripple & Ethereum – European Wrap 30 April

Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC/USD lost $1,000 before new buyers emerged, $9,000 is a resistance again

BTC/USD dropped from the intraday $9,476 to $8,547. The first digital coin lost nearly $1000 in a matter of hours before recovering to $8,8820 by press time. Despite the sell-off, BTC is still 10% higher from this time on Wednesday. A sustainable move below $9,000 has created a strong bearish momentum; however, the coin is heavily bought on the dips.

Ripple Price Analysis: XRP/USD drops like a stone, settles below $0.2200

Ripple's XRP dropped from the intraday high $0.2357 to $0.2100. While the price has recovered to $0.2180 by press time, the XRP virtually erased all the gains of the previous day. From the technical point of view, XRP/USD retains the bullish bias as long as it stays above $0.2030-$0.2000. This former resistance area that includes 38.2%  Fibo retracement for the downside move from February 2020 high now serves as strong support.
