Weak recovery of declining volumes brought the BTC price back to the $37,300 mark. If the recovery continues today, the pair may return to the resistance of $40,000 by the end of this week.

Bitcoin is trading at $38,116 at press time.

ETH/USD

Yesterday morning, buyers were unable to break above the $1,700 mark and a pullback in the Ethereum (ETH) price led to a retest of the $1,555 level. In this area, the decline has stalled and the bulls tried to return Ether to the zone of the recent high.

ETH/USD chart by TradingView

On the daily chart, Ethereum (ETH) is trading within the rising channel, having updated the all-time high today. Ongoing growth is the outcome of the accumulation phase between $1,100 and $1,300, which means that the current level may not be the peak. In this case, there are chances of seeing the leading altcoins at around $2,000 shortly.

Ethereum is trading at $1,744 at press time.

XRP/USD

Yesterday, the XRP price was able to overcome the resistance of $0.40 and eventually marked a local maximum at $0.482.
