Despite today’s drop, Bitcoin (BTC) has also made a false breakout of yesterday’s low of $29,440. If buyers can hold the rate above this mark by the end of the day, there is a chance to see a rise to the area around $30,000 within the next few days.

Bitcoin is trading at $29,608 at press time.

Ethereum (ETH) is the biggest loser from the list today, declining by 2.55%.

Ethereum is trading at $2,012 at press time.

XRP/USD

XRP has followed the drop of other coins as the rate has declined by 2.16%.

Despite the fall, XRP remains trading above the vital $0.40 mark, which means that bulls are not ready to give up so easy. However, if bears’ pressure continues, traders may see a sharp price drop to the zone around $0.35-$0.37 shortly.

XRP is trading at $0.41369 at press time.
