Bitcoin price action shows a bearish momentum on the RSI indicator, suggesting a decline ahead.Ether
Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) all face resistance at their crucial level, indicating a pullback in the upcoming days.
Bitcoin bulls show signs of exhaustion
Bitcoin price reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $104,088 on Thursday. It then fell sharply to a daily low of $90,500 but recovered and closed above $96,900 on the same day. BTC rose 4.3% in the next three days until Sunday. At the time of writing on Monday, it trades slightly down around $99,500.
Despite the recovery from Thursday‘s fall and rising until Sunday, Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) flashes warning signs. The higher high formed on Thursday does not reflect the RSI chart for the same period, indicating a formation of a bearish divergence, which often leads to a short-term correction.
If this bearish divergence plays out, traders could expect a small rise towards the recent high of $104,088 (grabbing liquidity or trapping longs), to then fall sharply towards the $90,000 support level. A successful close below this level could extend an additional decline towards the next support level of $85,000.
BTC/USDT daily chart
However, if BTC continues its uptrend and closes above $104,088, it could extend the rally toward the new all-time high of $119,510. This level aligns with the 141.4% Fibonacci extension line drawn from the November 4 low of $66,835 to Thursdays all-time high of $104,088.
Ethereum price is set for a pullback as it faces resistance at $4,000
Ethereum price rallied 8% last week and retested the $4,000 level on Friday. However, it faced resistance around this level during the weekend. At the time of writing on Monday, it trades down around $3,948.
If the $4,000 continues to hold as resistance, ETH could extend the decline to retest its daily support level at $3,721.
The RSI on the daily chart reads 69 and points downwards after rejecting the overbought level of 70, suggesting weakness in bullish momentum.
ETH/USDT daily chart
However, if ETH rallies and closes above $4,000, it could extend the rally to retest the $4,200 level.
Ripple price is set for a downturn
Ripple price faces resistance around the $2.66 level on Sunday. At the time of writing on Monday, it trades slightly down around $2.47.
If the $2.66 level continues to hold as resistance, XRP could extend the decline to retest the psychologically important level of $2.00.
The RSI on the daily chart reads 70, hovering around the overbought level of 70, and points downwards, indicating weakness in bullish momentum. If the RSI exits overbought territory, it could provide a clear sell signal.
XRP/USDT daily chart
On the other hand, if XRP rallies and closes above the $2.66 level, it could extend the rally to retest the psychologically important level of $3.00.
