It's been a bearish start to the day, with Monday's late sell-off continuing into the early hours of this morning to test investor resolve. Some recovery is to be expected, though whether resistance levels can be tested remains to be seen.

Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Ripple Daily Analysis – 10/07/18

Bitcoin Cash in the Hands of the Bears

Bitcoin Cash fell by 2.68% on Monday, following on from Sunday’s 3.31% slide, to end the day at $729.

Upward momentum through the first half of the day saw Bitcoin Cash move through to $750 levels, following an early dip to sub-$740 levels, before pulling back through the second half of the day, with Bitcoin Cash falling through the first major support level at $730.1 to an intraday low $725.7 late in the day.

A spike ahead of the day’s low saw Bitcoin Cash briefly strike $760 levels with an intraday high $761.9 that fell short of the day’s first major resistance level at $774.1 and saw Bitcoin Cash fail to hit $800 levels for a 5th consecutive day.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was down 0.92% to $722.3, with a spill over from Monday’s late in the day sell-off continuing through the early hours, taking Bitcoin Cash to a morning low $720 before steadying. The early moves left the day’s first major support and resistance levels untested.

For the day ahead, a move through to $740 would support a run at the day’s first major resistance level at $752.03, though for Bitcoin Cash to find support and begin reversing the morning’s losses, sentiment across the broader market will need to shift.

Failure to move through $740 levels to take a run at $750 could see Bitcoin Cash slide through the first major support level at $715.83 to bring the second major support level at $702.67 into play and a possible visit to sub-$700 levels before any recovery should sentiment not shift through the early afternoon.

Litecoin Down Again

Litecoin fell by 2.27% on Monday, following Sunday’s 2.93% fall, to end the day at $80.34.

A relatively choppy first half of the day saw Litecoin move within an $81 – $82 range that ultimately led to a late in the day reversal, with Litecoin falling through the day’s first major support level at $80.9 to an intraday low $80.02 before partially recovering, Litecoin managing to avoid a pullback to sub-$80 levels on the day.

Following the broader market, a pre-intraday low spike saw Litecoin briefly move through to $83 levels, with an intraday high $83.07 before the sell-off, the day’s high falling short of the first major resistance level at $94.62.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down 2.3% to $78.64, with Litecoin falling through the day’s first major support level at $79.22 in the early hours, as late Monday’s sell-off continued into the early hours of this morning.

For the day ahead, a move back through the first major support level at $79.22 to $81.14 would support a run at the day’s first major resistance level of $82.27, though the likes of Bitcoin will need to recover for Litecoin to begin reversing early losses.

Failure to move through to $81 levels could see Litecoin take a bigger hit later in the day, with the day’s second major support level at $78.09 likely to come into play before any recovery, Litecoin’s extended bearish trend continuing to pin back any hopes of a near-term rebound.

Ripple Hits Reverse

Ripple’s XRP slid by 1.46% on Monday, following Sunday’s 1.05% fall, to end the day at $0.47091.

A mixed morning saw Ripple’s XRP move through to a morning high $0.48186 before easing back to $0.47 levels through the afternoon, with Ripple’s XRP falling through the day’s first major support level at $0.4738 with a mid-afternoon $0.47122, before striking an intraday high $0.48538 in the late evening.

The day’s high fell short of the first major resistance level at $0.4861, with an end of day pullback seeing Ripple’s XRP fall through the day’s first major support level at $0.4738 to test support at the second major support level at $0.4689, with an intraday low $0.46859 that left Ripple’s XRP short of $0.50 levels for a 4th consecutive day.

At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down 1.42% to $0.46564, with Ripple’s XRP sliding through the day’s first major support level at $0.4656 to an intraday low $0.46395 before a partial recovery.

For the day ahead, a move back through $0.475 would support a run at the day’s first major resistance level at $0.4813, though we will expect Ripple’s XRP to continue to fall short of $0.50 levels, leaving the extended bearish trend intact.

Failure to move through $0.475 to take a run at $0.48 levels could see sub-$0.46 support levels tested before any recovery, though we would expect the selling pressure from late Monday to ease through the morning to support some upside later in the day.
