Bitcoin Price Analysis
This week, bitcoin price formed a decent support base near the $10,000 level and started a fresh increase above the $10,500 and $11,000 resistance levels. BTC/USD even cleared the $11,500 resistance spiked above the $12,000 level before starting a downside correction.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price gained momentum after it broke the $11,000 resistance and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). Finally, the price spiked above the $12,000 level and traded to a new swing high at $12,063.
Later, it started a downside correction below the $11,800 and $11,500 support levels. There was a break below the $11,450 level plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $9,728 low to $12,063 high.
The price is currently trading just above the $11,000 support and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). If there are more losses, the price could test the $10,900 support area.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $9,728 low to $12,063 high is near the $10,900 level to act as a support. Any further losses might accelerate the correction towards the $10,500 support area.
If the bulls fail to defend the $10,900 or $10,500 support, bitcoin could trim recent gains and decline back towards the $10,000 handle.
Conversely, if there is a fresh increase, the $11,800 and $12,000 levels are likely to act as key resistances. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $12,000 on the same chart.
Therefore, a daily close above $12,000 is needed for more upsides towards $12,500 and $12,800. On the downside, the main supports are near $10,900 and $10,500.
Ethereum Price Analysis
Ethereum price also started a short term upside correction from the $272.99 swing low. ETH traded above the $280.00 and $290.00 resistance levels. However, it seems like the $300.00 handle acted as a strong resistance and prevented more gains.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price traded above the $285.00 resistance and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours) in the past few days.
There was also a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $325.04 high to $272.99 low. However, the price struggled to clear the key $300.00 resistance level.
Moreover, the price failed to stay above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $325.04 high to $272.99 low. Besides, the price is following a major bearish trend line with resistance near $296.00 on the same chart.
To start a decent upward move, Ethereum price must break the trend line and settle above $300.00. On the downside, an initial support is near the $280.00 level. If the price breaks $280.00, it could even break the $272.99 swing low.
Below $270.00, the price could test the main $260.00 support area, which acted as a solid buy zone on many occasions earlier.
Ripple Price Analysis
Ripple price remained in a bearish zone below $0.4200 this week against the US Dollar. Bitcoin and Ethereum showed a few signs of recovery, but the XRP/USD pair remained under a lot of pressure and upsides were capped near $0.4100.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price settled below the key $0.4200 support level plus the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). There was a steady decline below the $0.4120 and $0.4050 support levels.
The price even broke the $0.4000 support level and is currently struggling to hold the main $0.3800 support level. The recent low was near $0.3780 and the price is currently consolidating.
An immediate resistance is near the $0.4000 level or the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.4297 high to $0.3783 low. There is also a declining channel forming with resistance near $0.4000 on the same chart.
As long as the price is below $0.4000, it remains at a risk of more losses below $0.3800. On the upside, above $0.4000, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.4297 high to $0.3783 low is near the $0.4050 level.
However, the main resistances are near the $0.4080 and $0.4100 levels. Only a close above $0.4100 might decrease selling pressure on ripple in the near term.
On the downside, if there is a break below the $0.3800 support, the price could accelerate losses. The next key supports are near the $0.3720 and $0.3500 levels.
EOS Price Analysis
EOS price retested the $5.550 and $5.600 support levels against the US Dollar. It found a strong buying interest and recovered above the $5.750 and $5.800 resistance levels, but upsides remain capped.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price formed a swing low at $5.565 and recovered above the $5.750 resistance area. There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $6.396 high to $5.565 low.
There was even a break above the $6.000 resistance and a close above the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). However, the price struggled to hold gains and topped near the $6.100 resistance.
It seems like EOS price was rejected near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $6.396 high to $5.565 low. As a result, the price declined again below $5.800 and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).
It is currently trading well above the $5.550 and $5.600 support levels, and it seems like there is a breakout pattern forming with resistance near the $5.950 on the same chart.
If there is an upside break above the $5.950 and $6.000 resistance levels, the price could start a decent rise towards the $6.100 or $6.400 levels. Conversely, a break below the $5.550 and $5.600 support levels could push the price towards the $5.200 level.
Top Gainers
During the past 7 days, a few small cap altcoins climbed higher and gained more than 100%, including PLAY, DXR, IZI, OVC, MFB, LIT, LQD and SCC (trading volume more than $50K). Out of these, PLAY rallied around 230% and DXR gained nearly 220%.
Overall, bitcoin price is facing a strong resistance near the $12,000 level. If BTC/USD continues to struggle, it could extend the current correction towards $10,500 or even $10,000. In the mentioned scenario, there could be additional losses in major altcoins such as Ethereum, ripple, bitcoin cash, litecoin, XLM, ADA, TRX, EOS, ICX, BNB, XMR, NEO, and WTC.
