Bitcoin, Ripple & Ethereum — Asian Wrap 27 January

Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are approaching their crucial support levels on Monday; a firm close below would lead to a correction. Ripple (XRP) price follows BTC and ETH as it nears its ascending trendline; a close below would lead to a pullback ahead.

XRP’s price remained weak on Friday following Ripple’s filing to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Ripple seeks to submit its cross-appeal brief by April 16 after the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) filed its appeal brief last week against Judge Analisa Torres’s ruling.

Ethereum (ETH) is up 4% on Friday as it looks to bounce back from week-long bearish pressure that saw investors depositing over 434,000 ETH in exchanges. With the recent recovery and derivatives traders holding their positions firm, ETH could complete a 20% rally if it overcomes a symmetrical triangle resistance.
