Ripple (XRP) Price Following Downtrend, Risk of Breakdown Persists

Ripple price is trading in a downtrend below the $0.2750 resistance against the US dollar.
 The price is facing a lot of hurdles on the upside near the $0.2740 and $0.2750 levels.
 This week’s crucial bearish trend line is intact with resistance near $0.2800 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
 Besides, Ethereum is still holding the key $182 and $180 support levels. Ripple price is struggling to recover and trading in a bearish zone against the US Dollar and bitcoin.


 XRP price remains at a risk of more losses below $0.2660. Ripple Price Analysis In the past few days, ripple followed a bearish path below the $0.2900 resistance area against the US Dollar. Moreover, XRP/USD settled below the key $0.2800 area and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It opened the doors for more downsides below the $0.2750 support area.
 Recently, the price traded below the last swing low near $0.2680 and declined below $0.2670. A new monthly low was formed near $0.2668 and the price is currently correcting higher.
 It broke the $0.2700 and $0.2710 resistance levels. Additionally, ripple climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.2758 high to $0.2668 low.



 However, the price seems to be facing a lot of hurdles on the upside near the $0.2740 and $0.2750 levels.
 More importantly, this week’s crucial bearish trend line is intact with resistance near $0.2800 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. Furthermore, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.2758 high to $0.2668 low is also acting as a resistance.
 Therefore, a clear break above the $0.2740 and $0.2750 resistance levels is needed for more gains in the near term.
 Once there is a clear break above $0.2750 and the 100 hourly SMA, the price could recover towards the $0.2820 and $0.2850 resistance levels.
 On the downside, an initial support is near the $0.2660 level.
 If the bulls fail to defend the $0.2660 and $0.2650 support levels, the next stop for the bears may perhaps be $0.2620.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
