Bitcoin price hovers around $108,800 on Friday after falling more than 5% so far this week.
Ethereum continues its correction after retesting daily resistance at $4,232 earlier in the week.
XRP closes below the daily support at $2.35, signaling potential for further downside ahead.
Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) remain under pressure at the time of writing on Friday after extending the losses nearly 5%, 6%, and 7%, respectively. BTC struggles near $108,000 while ETH and XRP close below their key supports, suggesting the potential for further downside in the near term.
Bitcoin closes below the ascending trendline
Bitcoin price faced rejection from the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $114,822 on Tuesday and declined by nearly 6% until Thursday, closing below the ascending trendline. At the time of writing on Friday, BTC hovers at around $109,000.
If BTC continues its correction and closes below the 200-day EMA at $108,070, it could extend the decline toward the October 10 low of $102,000.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator at 39 on the daily chart suggests that bearish momentum is gaining traction. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bearish crossover last week, which remains in effect, further supporting the bearish view.

On the other side, if BTC recovers, it could extend the recovery toward the 50-day EMA at $114,822.
Ethereum bears are in control of the momentum
Ethereum price faced rejection from the daily resistance level at $4,232, which roughly coincides with the 50-day EMA and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level on Tuesday and declined 8.88% by Thursday. At the time of writing on Friday, ETH hovers around $3,900.
If ETH continues its pullback, it could extend the decline toward the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $3,953.
Like Bitcoin, Ethereum’s RSI and MACD indicators also support the bearish view.

If XRP continues its correction, it could extend the decline toward the next daily support at $1.96.
