BTC/USD rejection from yesterday was continued today down to $9,100 but has recovered a little now and it’s trading at $9,350.
ETH/USD suffered a 9% drop today down to $226.2 holding the daily 26-EMA but losing the 12-EMA.
XRP/USD had one of the worst crashes today sliding below $0.20 and currently trading at around $0.191 although the low of the day was $0.184.
A lot of bearish action today in the market after yesterday’s failed attempt to break $10,000 by Bitcoin. What initially looked like a mild rejection has turned into a significant crash but not everything is lost and some bullish sentiment is still active.
