It's another bad start to the day for the majors, with the threat of fresh regs on the cryptomarket continuing to hold the majors back from any material rally to begin reversing the extended bearish trend.

Bitcoin Cash Back in Reverse

Bitcoin Cash fell by 2.65% on Thursday, reversing Wednesday’s 0.86% gain, to end the day at $743.2.

An early morning intraday high $785.8 saw Bitcoin Cash come up short of the day’s first major resistance level at $802.77 before going into reverse. The vast majority of the day saw Bitcoin Cash in red, a fall to an intraday low $715.3 in the late afternoon seeing Bitcoin Cash fall through the day’s first major support level at $729.57 before recovering to $740 levels.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was down 2.53% to $724.4 in what’s been another bearish morning for Bitcoin Cash and the broader market.

A start of the day $743.2 high falling well short of the first major resistance level at $780.9 and the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $930, before pulling back through the morning to a morning low $720.2.

For the day ahead a move through $748.1 would support a run at the day’s first major resistance level at $780.9 and $800 levels, though the bearish sentiment across the broader market is likely to see resistance at $800 continue to build through the week should Bitcoin Cash.

Failure to move through $748.1 to take a run at the day’s first major resistance level will likely see Bitcoin Cash test support at the day’s first major support level at $710.4 before any recovery, sub-$700 support levels unlikely to be tested barring materially negative news hitting the wires.

Litecoin Tracks the Market South

Litecoin fell by 2.51% on Thursday, following Wednesday’s 0.46% gain, to end the day at $83.25.

Following the broader market, Litecoin hit an intraday high $86.81 in the early hours of the day, falling short of the first major resistance level at $88.4 before going into reverse, with Litecoin falling through the day’s first major support level at $82.91 to an intraday low $82 late in the day.

A recovery back through the first major support level to $83 levels by the close was the only positive from a particularly bearish day for Litecoin and the broader market.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down 0.28% to $83.07 in what’s been a relatively range bound start to the day, with Litecoin moving in and out of positive territory through the early hours.

An early morning $82.74 low and $83.91 high saw Litecoin leave the day’s first major support and resistance levels untested, with a pullback across the broader market ultimately pulling Litecoin into the red.

For the day ahead, a move through the morning’s $83.91 high to $84 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $86.04, though with Litecoin continuing to fall well short of the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $98, the extended bearish trend formed at early May’s swing hi $182.35 remains intact.

Failure to move through to $84 levels could see the day’s first major support level at $81.23 come into play, with sub-$80 support levels likely to be tested should the broader market sell-off continue through the afternoon.

Ripple in Choppy Waters

Ripple’s XRP fell by 2.42% on Thursday, reversing Wednesday’s 0.82% gain, to end the day at $0.47808, marking a 3rd consecutive day that Ripple’s XRP was able to break through to $0.50 levels but pullback to sub-$0.50 levels by the day’s end.

An early rally saw Ripple’s XRP move through to a late morning intraday high $0.50359 before succumbing to the broad based cryptomarket sell-off, with Ripple’s XRP having fallen short of the first major resistance level at $0.5087 on the day.

The afternoon pullback saw Ripple’s XRP fall through the day’s first major support level at $0.4703 to an intraday low $0.46557 before recovering to $0.47 levels by the day’s end, a failure to hold on to $0.50 levels continuing to support the extended bearish trend formed at late April’s swing hi $0.97181.

At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down 1.7% to $0.46995, with Ripple’s XRP pulling back from an early $0.48134 high to a $0.46569 low before partially recovering mid-morning, the early moves leaving the day’s first major support and resistance levels untested.

For the day ahead, a move through the morning’s $0.48134 high would support a move through to $0.49 levels to bring the day’s first major resistance level at $0.4993 and $0.50 levels into play, though for Ripple’s XRP to find the support, the broader market is going to need to bounce back through the early afternoon.

Failure to move through to $0.50 would likely see the day’s first major support level at $0.4612 be tested before any recovery, the bears still firmly in control and pinning back any chance of a near-term bullish trend being formed.
