It's red for the majors early on as the cryptos join in on the risk off sentiment that has seen the major equity markets in decline.

Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Ripple Daily Analysis – 25/10/18

Bitcoin Cash in the Red Again

Bitcoin Cash fell by 0.4% on Wednesday, following on from Tuesday’s 1.51% slide, to end the day at $447.7.

A bullish start to the day saw Bitcoin Cash rally to an early morning intraday high $458 before hitting reverse, the day’s first major resistance level at $457.13 pinning Bitcoin Cash back in the early hours.

The almost day long reversal saw Bitcoin Cash fall to a late in the day intraday low $444.1 to come within range of the first major support level at $441.87 before steadying, as Bitcoin Cash continued to struggle at around the $450 level.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was down 0.27% to $446, with moves through the early part of the morning seeing Bitcoin Cash fall to an early morning low $441.7 to call on support at the day’s first major support level at $441.87 before recovering, a start of a day morning high $449.5 seeing Bitcoin Cash fall short of the first major resistance level at $455.77.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high $449.5 would be needed to bring $450 levels and the day’s first major resistance level at $455.77 into play, while we will expect Bitcoin Cash to continue to struggle at $450 levels to leave $460 levels and the day’s second major resistance level at $463.83 out of play on the day.

Failure to move back through the morning high to $450 levels could see Bitcoin Cash fall back through the morning low $441.7 and the day’s first major resistance level at $441.87 to bring sub-$441 support levels into play, while we would expect Bitcoin Cash to avoid sub-$440 levels barring materially negative news hitting the wires.

Litecoin Holds on to the $50s

Litecoin fell by 0.46% on Wednesday, partially reversing Tuesday’s 0.83% gain, to end the day at $51.86.

Tracking the broader market, Litecoin moved through to a mid-morning intraday high $52.59 to come up against the day’s first major resistance level at $52.59 before hitting reverse, Litecoin falling through the late morning and afternoon to an intraday low $51.7 before steadying. In spite of the reversal, Litecoin managed to hold above the first major support level at $51.51.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down 0.15% to $51.77, with a start of a day move through to a morning high $51.93 seeing Litecoin come up short of $52 levels and the first major resistance level at $52.4 before pulling back to a morning low $51.56 to call on support at the first major support level at $51.51.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high to $52 levels would be needed to support a bullish second half of a day, with any morning rally bringing the day’s first major resistance level at $52.4 and second major resistance level at $52.94 into play, while we will expect Litecoin to fall short of $53 levels on the day.

Failure to move through to $52 levels will likely see Litecoin pullback through the first major support level at $51.51 to call on support at the second major support level at $51.16 before any recovery, sub-$51 support levels unlikely to be tested on the day.

Ripple Hits Reverse

Ripple’s XRP slid by 1.32% on Wednesday, reversing most of Tuesday’s 1.86% gain, to end the day at $0.46341.

An early morning move through to an intraday high $0.4781 saw Ripple’s XRP come up short of $0.48 levels and the day’s first major resistance level at $0.4889, with a broad based market reversal kicking in to pull Ripple’s XRP back to a late in the day intraday low $0.4611 before steadying, Ripple’s XRP steering clear of the first major support level at $0.4482 on the day.

At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down 0.66% to $0.46086, with Ripple’s XRP falling from a start of a day morning high $0.467 to morning low $0.45745 to find support at the first major support level at $0.457.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning high and hold through the late morning would support a run at $0.47 levels to bring the day’s first major resistance level at $0.474 into play, with sentiment across the broader market needing to materially improve for Ripple’s XRP to take a run at $0.48 levels later in the day.

Failure to move back through the morning high $0.467 could see Ripple’s XRP take a bigger hit later in the day, a pullback through the morning low $0.45745 likely to see Ripple’s XRP fall through the first major support level to test the second major support level at $0.4505 before any recovery.
