BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, ADA, and SOL – Cryptopolitan

The weekly crypto price analysis reveals that most of the coins have been trading in a neutral trend with bulls and bears being equally active in the market. For the whole of the week, the top coins have remained rangebound between their upper and lower boundaries. Bitcoin has been trading between its $26,787 and $28,755 range with occasional price surges. Ethereum (ETH) has also been trading in a tight range between its 1,723 and 1,839 levels.

Ripple (XRP) managed to remain a bit more volatile as it has been steadily climbing above the $0.40 mark for the past few days. Binance Coin (BNB) has been trading in its $318 to $324 range since the previous week. Cardano (ADA) has been trading in a range of between $0.3328 and $0.3868 while Solana (SOL) had a strong week as it broke out of its previous range and stayed above the $20.00 mark for most of the time.

On March 24th, jitters over the potential resurgence of a banking crisis sent European markets into an unsettling downturn. This was sparked when Deutsche Bank’s credit default swaps inexplicably became volatile on the 23rd – plummeting its shares by 11% with no discernible cause. The specter of instability cast a pall upon investors and their decision-making processes that day, hastening market decline across Europe.

Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, was able to ease global markets with her statement that euro banking institutions were well guarded due to implemented reforms post-global financial crisis. This could contribute in partto the strong recovery experienced by United States equities indexes from their intraday lows. Although the banking crisis has been positive for Bitcoin’s price, crypto prices are still trading in rangebound areas.

Overall, the market has been quite mixed this week with some coins showing gains while others incurring losses. It is important to keep a close eye on the key levels and technical indicators of each coin before investing or trading. Buyers should look for bullish breakouts while bears should wait for bearish trends to emerge for them to capitalize on the market. With that in mind, we expect to see some volatility and possible price movements shortly as we approach the end of the week.
