BTC/USD chart by TradingView

On the daily chart, Bitcoin (BTC) has bounced off the support at $42,000 and has almost tested the MA 200. The selling trading volume remains high, which means that the fall might not have ended yet.

However, in the short-term scenario, traders might expect growth to the area around $48,000 where most of the liquidity is focused.

Bitcoin is trading at $44,140 at press time.

ETH/USD

Ethereum (ETH) is more bearish than Bitcoin (BTC) as the drop has constituted almost 9%.

Unlike Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) can still face a short-term decline where a bounceback can occur. The drop is accompanied by high trading volume, which means that bears have seized the initiative. In this case, the next zone at which bulls may show growth is the area of $3,000.

Ethereum is trading at $3,343 at press time.

XRP/USD

XRP is less of a loser than Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as the price decrease has encompassed only 2% since yesterday.

XRP/USD chart by TradingView

From the technical point of view, XRP is looking much stronger than the majority of the top 10 coins. The altcoin has come back to the sideways trend after yesterday's drop. At the moment, neither bulls nor bears control the situation. If the buying trading volume increases, the retest of the resistance at $1.66 may occur soon.

XRP is trading at $1.46 at press time.

ADA/USD

Cardano (ADA) has lost 10% of its price share over the last day.

ADA is trading at $2.04 at press time.

BNB/USD

Binance Coin (BNB) is the top loser today as the price of the native exchange coin has gone down by almost 12%.

DOGE has not shown such a big drop as the decrease is by 6%.

DOGE
