It's been a shaky but positive start to the day that could see the bulls reenter the market following Tuesday's losses. Regulators and governments will continue to pin back any major rallies however.

Bitcoin Struggles On

Bitcoin Cash tumbled by 7.96% on Tuesday, following Monday’s 0.54% fall, to end the day at $694.1, Tuesday’s fall being the 6th in the last 7 days.

It was bearish through the day for Bitcoin Cash, an intraday high $758.1 high at the start of the day, which fell well short of the first major resistance level at $780.47, the only positive move of the day, a reversal through the day leading Bitcoin Cash to a late in the day intraday low $692.1.

The day long reversal saw Bitcoin Cash pullback through the day’s first major support level at $734.27 and second major support level at $710.83 before steadying, ending the day at sub-$700 levels being of concern.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was up 0.27% to $696.6, with moves through the early part of the day relatively range bound, a morning low $685.1 and $704.7 high, steering well clear of the day’s major support and resistance levels.

For the day ahead, moving back through to $700 levels would support a run at the first major resistance level at $737.43, with the downward trend in recent days likely to draw in buyers should the news wires remain silent on the regulatory front.

Failure to break back through to $700 levels could see Bitcoin Cash resume its slide, with the day’s first major support level at $677.43 likely to be tested before any recovery, the extended bearish trend formed at early May’s swing hi $1,849.9 firmly intact.

Litecoin on the Move

Litecoin fell by 7.21% on Tuesday, reversing Monday’s 1.34% gain to end the day at $75.78, Litecoin falling in 7 of the last 8 days.

Bucking the trend through the early part of the morning, Litecoin moved through to an intraday high $82.55 before joining the rest of the crypto majors in a day long reversal, the day’s high falling short of the first major resistance level at $84.51.

The sell-off through the day saw Litecoin fall through the day’s first major support level at $78.82 to test support at the second major support level at $75.97, with an intraday low $75.37, Litecoin unable break back through the key support levels by the day’s end.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was up 1.53% to $76.96, with Litecoin managing to recover from an early pullback to a morning $74.85 low that held above the day’s first major support level at $73.25.

The recovery saw Litecoin move through to a morning $77.59 high before easing back to $76 levels, the day’s first major support level at $80.43 left untested through the morning.

For the day ahead, a move through to $77.9 would support a run at the first major resistance level at $80.43, though for Litecoin to break back through to $80 levels there’s going to need to be a significant boost in sentiment through the middle part of the day, Litecoin already setting the pace across the majors.

Failure to move through $77.9 to take a run at $80 could see a reversal through the afternoon, with the day’s first major support level at $73.25 in play should the wires deliver more negative news later in the day.

Ripple Looking to Recover

Ripple’s XRP fell by 5.76% on Tuesday, reversing Monday’s 1.42% gain, to end the day at $0.45393.

Faring somewhat better than its peers, Tuesday’s fall was the 5th in the last 8 days.

An early move through to an intraday high $0.48469 saw Ripple’s XRP fall short of the first major resistance level at $0.4949, with Ripple’s XRP following the broader market through the remainder of the day, sliding through the first major support level at $0.4701 and second major support level at $0.4574 to an intraday low $0.45074 before steadying.

The bearish moves through the day saw Ripple’s XRP end the day below the second major support level at $0.4574.

At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was up 1.13% to $0.45935, with Ripple’s XRP falling to a start of the day $0.44894 low before bouncing back to a morning $0.46427 high, the day’s first major support and resistance levels left untested early on.

For the day ahead, a move through $0.4631 would support a run at $0.47 levels and the day’s first major resistance level at $0.4755, with the improved sentiment across the majors this morning supporting some near-term upside, though any breakout through the day’s major resistance level would be unlikely.

Failure to move through $0.4631 would see Ripple’s XRP pullback later in the day, though we would expect the first major support level at $0.4416 to be left untested.
