On 1st May, the crypto market flipped the switch. Bitcoin [BTC] that was traded in the $7.7k range in April, is now trading in the range of $8.7k. The king of cryptocurrencies even touched the $9k range but couldn’t break the $10k resistance on 1st May.
With the Bitcoin weekend bull, altcoins showed a green trail. At the time of press, altcoins such as XRP [XRP], Stellar [XLM], and Ethereum Classic [ETC] show a pump of 8.40%, 11.48%, and 12.73% respectively. Nevertheless, coins such as Ethereum, Cardano, and EOS have seen a fall of 6.33%, 7.55%, and 6.92% – making them the biggest losers in the top 15 in 24 hours.
Ethereum
In the past couple of days, Ethereum has been above $225 reaching $25 billion [market cap] the coin in less than three days lost $3 billion as it slipped back to low $200s showing signs of leaving the $200 support level.
It looks like Ethereum has managed to recover from its intraday lows but still hangs at the edge with low uptrend momentum.
Additionally, technical analysis of ETHUSD indicates a correction that will help to enter for long.
Professional traders comment:-
“The correction that began today will cool the market and provide the best levels of medium-term entry over the air. When MA25 goes above MA99, an uptrend will be confirmed and the BTBT strategy will open a long position with a leverage of 1: 3. Now, according to our BTBT trading strategy, there are no open positions.” – Source
“Some overhead resistance on short timeframes, but I expect a small move for +5% gain in less than 24 hours. It could go higher, but I expect it to at least stop to think at these resistance levels. A breakdown below the local low will invalidate this setup. Let’s see what happens.” – Source
Cardano [ADA]
The lack of momentum has bolstered the resistance of breaking $0.055 for ADA. The coin experienced a bearish trendline yesterday and follows the same trend today. With a major support level being $0.045, ADA is currently being traded at $0.47.
MACD shows a bearish divergence since the signal line crosses over the MACD line indicating a lack of trading stability. The RSI stands below 45 but above 30; unless there’s an immediate uptrend the coin will experience heavy selling pressure.
Cardano has had an eventful month with Charles Hoskinson stepping closer to the community and Shelly’s first block being produced – it seems like the technology will stabilize the sentiments around the coin despite the bears.
EOS
EOS has slipped from being in the top 5, hardly making it into the top 10 on CMC in the past weeks.
Technicals indicate that EOS is in a correction after its jump from $2.75 to $3.10. Irrespective of the buyers trying to break above the resistance the price dropped beneath the 100-days EMA.
Nevertheless, despite the on-going downtrend the coin has managed to stay above its support level $2.70 and is currently trading at $2.75.
RSI stands at 52.06 and shows a possible outcome of a bullish divergence.
