Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) price action are showing signs of weakness as bears gain control of the momentum. BTC and ETH close below their key support levels, while XRP hovers around a critical level, all hinting at potential downside moves in the near term.

Bitcoin is set for correction below 16-day range

Bitcoin price finally broke below its lower consolidation level at $116,000 on Thursday, ending a 16-day consolidation phase and signaling a potential shift in market momentum. At the time of writing on Friday, it hovers at around $115,800.

If BTC continues its pullback, it could extend the decline to retest the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $112,961.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is slipping below its neutral level of 50 and points downward, indicating that bearish momentum is gaining traction. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bearish crossover on July 23, giving sell signals. It also shows a rising red histogram bar below its neutral line, suggesting further bearish momentum and a downward trend.

However, if BTC recovers, it could extend the recovery toward its upper boundary of the consolidation range at $120,000.

Ethereum bears aiming for $3,500 mark

Ethereum price declined nearly 3% on Thursday, closing below its daily support level of $3,730. At the time of writing on Friday, it hovers at around $3,700.

If ETH continues its pullback, it could extend the decline to the next support at $3,500.

The RSI momentum indicator on the daily chart slips below its overbought level and points downward, indicating fading bullish momentum. The MACD indicator on the daily chart also showed a bearish crossover on Wednesday, further supporting the bearish thesis and downward trend on the horizon.

XRP could decline if it closes below $2.99 support level 

XRP price broke below the daily support level at $3.40 on July 23 and declined by 11% the following day. However, it retested and found support around its 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $2.99 on Friday, rebounding 3.43% during the weekend. At the start of the week on Monday, XRP continued its correction and declined 6.43% until Thursday. At the time of writing, it hovers around $3, finding support around $2.99 level.

If XRP closes below $2.99, it could extend the decline toward its next daily support level at $2.72.

Like Bitcoin, XRP’s RSI is showing signs of fading bearish momentum, and the MACD indicator is also supporting the bearish thesis, suggesting a correction ahead.

Cryptocurrency metrics FAQs

The developer or creator of each cryptocurrency decides on the total number of tokens that can be minted or issued. Only a certain number of these assets can be minted by mining, staking or other mechanisms. This is defined by the algorithm of the underlying blockchain technology. On the other hand, circulating supply can also be decreased via actions such as burning tokens, or mistakenly sending assets to addresses of other incompatible blockchains.

Market capitalization is the result of multiplying the circulating supply of a certain asset by the asset’s current market value.

Trading volume refers to the total number of tokens for a specific asset that has been transacted or exchanged between buyers and sellers within set trading hours, for example, 24 hours. It is used to gauge market sentiment, this metric combines all volumes on centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges. Increasing trading volume often denotes the demand for a certain asset as more people are buying and selling the cryptocurrency.

Funding rates are a concept designed to encourage traders to take positions and ensure perpetual contract prices match spot markets. It defines a mechanism by exchanges to ensure that future prices and index prices periodic payments regularly converge. When the funding rate is positive, the price of the perpetual contract is higher than the mark price. This means traders who are bullish and have opened long positions pay traders who are in short positions. On the other hand, a negative funding rate means perpetual prices are below the mark price, and hence traders with short positions pay traders who have opened long positions.
