  • Bitcoin price continues to edge down around $94,100 on Monday after declining almost 4% last week.


  • Ethereum price approaches its key support level of $3,207; a firm close below it would continue its pullback.


  • Ripple price broke above its upper symmetrical triangle boundary, suggesting a rally ahead.


Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) prices continue to trade in red on Monday after declining more than 3% and 10% in the previous week. However, Ripple (XRP) remains strong and breaks above its upper symmetrical triangle boundary, suggesting a rally ahead.


Bitcoin bulls show signs of weakness


Bitcoin price failed to sustain above the $100K mark on January 7 and declined 9.47% till Thursday. However, on Friday, it bounced 2.35% from its 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level at $92,493(drawn from the November 4 low of $66,835 to the December 17 high of $108,353) and hovered around the $94,500 level in the next two days. At the time of writing on Monday, it trades slightly down around $94,100.


BTC continues its correction and closes below $92,493; it could extend the decline to test the psychological level of $90,000.

The Relative Strength Index on the daily chart read 45, below its neutral level of 50, indicating bearish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator also shows a bearish crossover on Wednesday, suggesting a sell signal and a downtrend.

Conversely, if BTC recovers and closes above the $100,000 level, it could extend the rally to retest the December 17, 2024, all-time high of $108,353.


Ethereum could continue its correction if it closes below the $3,207 level


Ethereum price declined more than 10% last week after failing to close above the daily resistance of $3,730. As of Monday’s start of this week, it edges down, trading around $3,257, approaching its key support level of around $3,207.


If ETH closes below the $3,207 support level, it could extend the decline to test its psychological importance level of $3,000.

The RSI indicator on the daily chart reads 40, below its neutral level of 50, indicating bearish momentum. The MACD indicator also shows a bearish crossover on Thursday, suggesting a sell signal and a downtrend.

On the other hand, if ETH recovers, it could extend the rally to retest its daily resistance at $3,730.


Ripple price is poised for a rally as it breaks above the symmetrical triangle pattern

Ripple price broke above its symmetrical triangle on Saturday and rallied 10%. This technical pattern was formed by connecting multiple highs and lows with two converging trendlines (from early December to early January). This technical pattern has a bullish bias, and the target is generally obtained by measuring the distance between the first swing high and the first swing low to the breakout point. However, it faces rejection around its daily resistance level of $2.56 on Sunday. At the time of writing on Monday, it trades at around $2.51.


If XRP closes above the daily resistance level at $2.56, the technical target obtained by this pattern would be $3.63. Investors should be cautious of this theoretical move as it could face a slowdown after a 17% rally to retest Ripple’s psychological importance level of $3.00 as traders could opt to book profits.


The RSI indicator reads 59, above its neutral value of 50, indicating bullish momentum. Additionally, the MACD shows a bullish crossover on Sunday, suggesting an upward trend.

However, if XRP closes below the $1.96 daily support level, it would extend the decline to retest its next support level at $1.40.
