Despite the slight rise today, buyers have not seized the initiative yet as Bitcoin (BTC) is still trading below the vital zone of $30,000. While the price fails to fix above that mark, consolidation in the range of $28,500-$29,500 is the more likely scenario.

Bitcoin is trading at $29,264 at press time.

Ethereum (ETH) has gained the most value today, rising by 1.35%.

XRP has gained the least today, as its price has only risen by 0.30%.

As neither side has seized the initiative yet, ongoing consolidation in the range of $0.45-$0.47 remains the more likely scenario for the upcoming week.
