  • Bitcoin hovers around $98,000 on Wednesday after falling 3.5% the previous day.


  • Ethereum price failed to recover, trading around $2,700, hinting at a downleg ahead.


  • Ripple price closes below its ascending trendline, changing the market structure from bullish to bearish.


Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) hover around key levels on Wednesday after failing to maintain their recoveries from the recent falls this week. The technical outlook for all these top cryptocurrencies shows signs of weakness and suggests a further correction ahead.


Bitcoin fails to maintain levels above $100,000 


Bitcoin price faced a pullback in the early Asian trading session, reaching a low of $91,231, but quickly recovered from its fall to close above $101,300 on Monday. However, it failed to maintain its recovery and declined 3.52% on Tuesday. At the time of writing on Wednesday, it hovers around $98,000.


If BTC continues its correction, it could extend the decline to test its psychologically important level of $90,000.


The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 44, after being rejected from below its neutral level of 50, and points downwards, indicating a strong bearish momentum. Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bearish crossover, hinting at further correction.

However, if BTC recovers and finds support around $100,000, it would extend the recovery to retest its Friday high of $106,012.

 psychologically important level the next day. On Monday, ETH dips and reaches a low of $2,125 but quickly recovers to close at $2,879.


 However, it failed to maintain its recovery and declined 5.16% on Tuesday. At the time of writing on Wednesday, it hovers around $2,731.
