The majors are going to need to consolidate their gains through the middle of the day to avoid a reversal late in the day, the bearish trend remaining intact, with investors all too aware of how damaging bad news can be.

Bitcoin Cash Finds Temporary Relief

Bitcoin Cash gained 4.59% on Monday, following Sunday’s 0.28% fall, to end the day at $885.5.

The first half of the day saw Bitcoin Cash continue on its downward path, falling through the day’s first major support level at $838.3 and second major support level at $829.9 to an intraday low $820.1 before a second half of the day rally.

Bitcoin Cash rallied through the day’s three major resistance levels to an intraday high $902.8 in the afternoon, before easing back to sub-$900 levels by the day’s end.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was down 0.76% to $878.5, the late in the day pullback on Monday spilling over to the early hours of this morning.

In spite of the decline, it’s been relatively range bound, with a morning high $890.2 and low $874 steering well clear of the major resistance and support levels.

For the day ahead, a move back through to Monday’s $902.8 high would support a run at the first major resistance level at $918.83, though with the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $1,049 and extended bearish trend intact, Monday’s gains could be short lived should sentiment not shift through the morning.

Failure to move through to $900 levels could see Bitcoin Cash fall back to test the day’s first major support level at $836.13 before recovering, more heavy losses unlikely on the day.

Litecoin Holding On

Litecoin gained 3.81% on Monday, reversing Sunday’s 1.7% loss, to end the day at $98.63.

Following the broader market trend, Litecoin fell through the morning to an intraday low $93.2, calling on support at the first major support level at $93.89 to avoid $92 levels, with a broad based afternoon rally seeing Litecoin break through the first major resistance level at $97.14 to test resistance at the second major resistance level at $99.2 before easing back to $98 levels by the day’s end.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down 1.16% to $97.49, with Monday’s late sell-off continuing into the early hours, Litecoin pulling back from a start of the day $99.1 high to a morning $96.86 low, before recovering to $97 levels, the moves through the day leaving major support and resistance levels untested.

For the day ahead, a move through the morning’s high would be needed to support a run at the day’s first major resistance level at $101.15, though we can expect a break through $100 levels to face stern resistance following Monday’s rally, the bearish trend still intact.

Failure to break through $100 could see Litecoin pullback through to test the first major support level at $94.65, before recovering, a major sell-off in the wake of Monday’s rally unlikely barring materially negative news hitting the wires through the afternoon.

Ripple Needs More

Ripple’s XRP gained 3.03% on Monday, reversing Sunday’s 1.55% fall, to end the day at $0.53967.

Following the broader market, Ripple’s XRP slipped through the first major support level at $0.5160 in the late morning to an intraday low $0.50888 before the afternoon rally saw Ripple’s XRP break through the first major resistance level at $0.5363 and second major resistance level at $0.5482 to an intraday high $0.5575.

In spite of the shift in sentiment, a late reversal to $0.53 levels left the extended bearish trend intact, with Ripple’s XRP continuing to fall well short of the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $0.6106.

At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down 0.2% to $0.53837, following the cryptomarket into the red in the early hours, the early moves leaving the day’s major support and resistance levels untested.

For the day ahead, a move back through the start of the day’s $0.54526 high would support a run at the day’s first major resistance level at $0.5618, though following Monday’s relief rally, Ripple’s XRP is likely to face plenty of resistance on the approach to $0.56 levels, any breakout dependent upon market sentiment through the afternoon.

Failure to move through the morning’s high to $0.55 levels in the early afternoon could see Ripple’s XRP cough up Monday’s gains, with a pullback to $0.52 levels on the cards in the event of a broad based sell-off, while we would expect the day’s first major support level at $0.5132 to remain untested through the day, in spite of the bearish trend remaining intact.
