It's been a mixed start to the day, with a number of the majors managing to hold on to early gains, though the market continues to lack conviction, leaving the extended bearish trend intact for now.

Bitcoin Cash in Reverse

Bitcoin Cash slipped by 1.79% on Wednesday, partially reversing Tuesday’s 2.35% gain, to end the day at $891.1.

An intraday low $861.4 came in the early afternoon after a start of the day slide to $862 levels, with Bitcoin Cash sliding through the first major support level at $877.47 before recovering to an afternoon intraday high $909 that fell well short of the first major resistance level at $932.27.

A late in the day reversal to sub-$900 levels found support that continued through the early hours of this morning, with Bitcoin Cash moving through to a morning $908.2 high before easing back to sub-$900 levels.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin Cash was down 1.19% to $882.0, with the morning’s high falling short of the first major resistance level at $912.93, a late morning reversal seeing Bitcoin Cash fall to a morning low $866.2 before recovering, the day’s first major support level at $865.33 left untested early on.

For the day ahead, a move through $887 would support a run back through $900 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $912.93 into play, though sentiment across the broader market will need to improve for Bitcoin Cash to hold on to $900 levels by the day’s end.

Failure to move back through to $900 levels would likely see Bitcoin Cash pull back through the afternoon to test the day’s first major support level at $865.33 before recovering, the second major support level at $839.57 unlikely to be tested through the day.

Litecoin in the Ranges

Litecoin fell by 0.78% on Wednesday, following Tuesday’s 0.02% fall, to end the day at $97.82.

A start of the day move to a morning high $99 saw Litecoin reverse to a morning low $95.51, with Litecoin falling through the first major support level at $96.43 before recovering through to $97 levels and a relatively range bound afternoon, the day’s first major resistance level at $101.22 left untested on the day.

At the time of writing, Litecoin was down 0.75% to $97.1, an early run at $100 levels falling short as Litecoin hit the day’s first major resistance level at $99.38 with a morning $99.17 high. The reversal through the morning saw Litecoin fall to a $96.59 low, which has managed to leave the first major support level at $95.89 untested thus far.

For the day ahead, a second test of the first major resistance level at $99.38 would be needed to support a break through to $100 levels to bring the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level into play later in the week, though market sentiment will need to improve through the morning to avoid a pull back by the day’s end.

Failure to move back to the morning’s high would likely see a pullback later in the day, bringing the day’s first major support level at $95.89 into play before recovering, a hold at $100 levels key for the bulls.

Ripple Bucks the Trend Early

Ripple’s XRP fell by 2.21% on Wednesday, reversing Tuesday’s 1.96% gain, to end the day at $0.53807.

Following the broader market trend, Ripple’s XRP slid through the first major support level at $0.5342 to an intraday low $0.52185, before a middle of the day recovery to $0.54 levels, with moves through the day leaving the first major resistance level at $0.5643 untested, the day’s $0.55105 high coming at the start of the day.

At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was up 0.45% to $0.54105, an early bounce to a morning high $0.54881 falling short of the first major resistance level at $0.5521. Recovering from a pullback to a morning $0.53434 low that held well above the first major support level at $0.5229, Ripple’s XRP managed to buck the trend alongside a number of other majors through the morning.

For the day ahead, a move back through the morning’s high $0.54881 would support a break back into $0.55 levels to bring the first major resistance level at $0.5521 into play, with the bulls needing to begin making a move to $0.60 levels to attempt a bearish trend reversal at the 23.6% FIB Retracement Level of $0.6106.

Failure to move through to $0.55 levels would likely see Ripple’s XRP pullback through the afternoon to $0.52 levels, whilst we would expect the day’s first major support level at $0.5229 to be left untested barring materially negative news hitting the wires through the day.
