Key Takeaways:
- The price of the bitcoin was corrected higher, but failed near the resistance of $ 3,800.
- Ethereum has recently recovered and has faced sellers near the $ 100 resistance.
- The price ripple remains at risk of a break below the $ 0.2930 support.
- EOS is finding it difficult to break the resistance level of $ 2.00.
- EVN and VRS have gained over 400% in the last 7 days.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price recovered this week and broke resistance levels $ 3,400 and $ 3,500. There was also a break above the $ 3,600 resistance and the 21 simple (4 hours) moving average.
The buyers pushed the price above the fiber retracement level of 23.6% of the last drop from the low of $ 4,470 to a $ 3,280 swing. However, the upward move was limited by the resistance area of $ 3,800 and there was no adequate closing above the $ 3,700 spin zone.
The price has declined again and traded below the $ 3,400 support. He is currently following a bearish trend line with resistance at $ 3,550 and 21 SMA. Above the trendline, the next major hurdles are $ 3,700, $ 3,800, and the 50% fiber retracement level of the last drop from $ 4,470 slower to $ 3,280 fluctuates to $ 3,877.
If the price fails to overcome the mentioned obstacles, there is the risk of further losses under the support of $ 3,280. The next stop for sellers could be $ 3,000, below which the price could slip to the $ 2,750 level.
Price analysis of Ethereum
The price of Ethereum dropped sharply from the $ 127 rise and broke the $ 100 support level. The ETH / USD even broke the $ 88-90 support area and traded close to $ 80 level.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price touched a low of $ 82.76 and subsequently started a short-term upward correction. It has exceeded the level of $ 90 and the moving average to 21 (4 hours). Furthermore, there was a break above the Fib retracement level of 23.6% from the last decline from $ 127 high to $ 83 low.
However, the upward move was limited by the $ 100-102 zone (the previous support). There was not even a 50% fiber retracement test of the last decline from $ 127 high to $ 83 low.
The price is back below the $ 90 level and is currently trading below a bearish trend line with resistance to $ 95. A correct break above the $ 95 level and then a close above the $ 100 barrier. it is necessary for a bullish break in the short term.
On the flip side, if the price of Ethereum fails to exceed resistance levels $ 95 and $ 100, there could be a new fall below the $ 82-83 area. The next major support is close to the $ 68 level where buyers could emerge.
Price analysis of undulations

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price was trading at $ 0.2933 and subsequently adjusted above the resistance from $ 0.3000 and $ 0.3100. There was a break above the fiber retracement level of 23.6% in the last slide, from $ 0.3684 upwards to $ 0.2933 below.
The price has even risen above the level of $ 0.3300 and the simple moving average at 21 (4 hours). However, there was no adequate closing above the $ 0.3300 resistance and the 50% fiber retracement level of the last slide from $ 0.3684 to $ 0.2933 low.
There was a new decline below $ 0.3200 and $ 0.3100. The XRP is currently trading below the $ 0.3050 level and is following a bearish trend line with resistance at $ 0.3080.
A positive closing above the trendline, $ 0.3100, and the simple moving average at 21 (4 hours) is necessary for a decent recovery towards $ 0.3300 or even $ 0.3500. If there is a bullish break above the trendline and $ 0.3100, there may be a bearish break below the $ 0.2933 minimum.
The next key support will be $ 0.2900, below which sellers could direct the $ 0.2500 support area in the next sessions.
EOS price analysis
The EOS price fell below the $ 2.00 support area last week against the US dollar. The price traded to the support area $ 1.50 this week and subsequently formed a decent support.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price started a decent recovery from the low of $ 1.55. It exceeded the $ 1.85 level and the Fib retracement level of 23.6% of the last slide from $ 3.07 up to $ 1.55 below.
Also, there was a break above the $ 2.00 level and the simple moving average at 21 (4 hours). However, the price failed to exceed the $ 2.00 level and was refused near the $ 2.14 to 2.015 zone.
The price has declined again and traded below the support of $ 2.00 plus the moving average at 21 (4 hours). Furthermore, there is a crucial bearish trend line in place with resistance at $ 2.05 on the same chart.
If there is a break above the trend line and $ 2.15, the price can test the Fib 50% retracement level of the last slide from $ 3.07 up to $ 1.55 down for $ 2.31. On the flip side, if there is no bullish break above $ 2.00 and $ 2.15, the EOS price is likely to revisit the $ 1.55 or $ 1.60 support.
The best earnings
In the last 7 days, some small capitalization altcoins have recorded a higher upside and have posted gains of over 80%, including EVN, VRS, TKT, ABBC, AAA and SSP (trading volume above $ 50,000). Of these, the EVN has gathered around 450% and VRS has gained almost 430%.
Overall, the bitcoin price is still in a bigger downtrend than the swing price of $ 4,500. To start a solid recovery, BTC / USD must break resistance levels $ 3,800 and $ 4,000. Otherwise, there is a risk of further losses of less than $ 3,200 and $ 3,000. Likewise, the main altcoins such as Ethereum, EOS, Stellar, ripple, BCH, BCHSV, ADA, NEO, ZRX and XMR could extend losses in the next few sessions if the bitcoin slips below $ 3,200.
