Technical Analysis Of The Top Crypto

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is trading in a range but with recent bullish price action, with prices climbing above the Tenken-sen ($39,880), Kijun Sen level at $39,828 per coin, and below another cloud called Ichimoku Kumo ($41,025) that indicates where investors should look for potential buy zones.

Bitcoin’s primary support level is $37,000 (low seen as of March 7th), and if the price falls below this level, it might revert into bear territory with possible drops down to $34,000/$32,950 (low of the January 24th )

If the cryptocurrency close above $41,700 today. However, there might probably be another rise to around $42,600 (high on March 9th) / $45,356 (200-dаy EMA) / $50,000. 

With the price of Bitcoin, it might be a good time to buy a dip at $40,000  with SL around $37,000 for TP of $50,000.

Ethereum

Ethereum has oscillated within a tight trading range between 2,810 and $2,492 for the past week.

The ETH/USD pair has hit a high of $2,809 on the daily chart but is currently trading around that value. The pair is trading below Tenken-sen ($2,627), Kijun-sen ($2,672), and Ichimoku Kumo cloud ($2,870), confirming the minor weak trend. 

The Ethereum price has major support at $2,445, and if it drops below this level might confirm the bearish trend. So a dip until around February 24th’s low of $2,300 can be on deck for us here, with potentially more downsides still left ahead.

With the price of Ethereum, it might be a good time to buy a dip at $2,500  with SL around $2,300 for TP of $3,300.

XRP

The price of XRP is held above short-term (55 days EMA) and below long-term (200 days EMA). If it breaches below $0.70, then further bearishness would be confirmed by the pattern observances. However, a short-term trend reversal would occur only if it breaches $1.02 (23rd Dec high).

LUNA
