Bitcoin price
There was an upside extension in bitcoin price above the USD 54,500 and USD 55,000 resistance levels. BTC even broke USD 55,500, but it failed to continue higher towards the USD 56,000 level. It started a downside correction and traded below the USD 55,000 level. However, the bulls are defending the USD 53,000 and USD 52,800 support levels.

Binance Coin (BNB) started a strong increase above the USD 250 resistance. BNB surged over 10% and it even cleared the USD 275 resistance. The bulls attempted a break above USD 300, but they failed.

XRP price failed to test the USD 0.495 and USD 0.500 resistance levels. The price is now declining and it seems like it could revisit the USD 0.450 support. Any more losses might put pressure on the bulls and the price could test USD 0.420.
