The cryptocurrency market has recovered from the recent lows but failed to return to the previous range.

The average daily trading volume is $110 billion
Top-3 cryptocurrencies price updates
Bitcoin (BTC) tested $8,637 during early Asian hours; however, the recovery stopped short of the psychological $9,000 While the coin managed to regain some ground tetrode at $8,750 by press time, it is still down 3% since on a day-to-day basis and stayed unchanged since the beginning of Monday. A failure to move above $9,000 will worsen the short-term technical picture and bring more bears to the market.
Ethereum touched $198.00 early on Monday but managed to return above $200.00 to trade at $203.00 by press time. The second-largest digital asset needs to regain ground above the intraday high of $205.00 to improve the short-term technical picture and allow for the recovery towards another important resistance of $210.00. The critical support is created by $200.00.
XRP/USD recovered from the intraday low of $0.1855 and stalled at $0.1930 as the recovery momentum has faded away. The critical resistance is created by $0.2000, but it seems that the coin may venture another deep below $0.1900 first.
