The situation on the cryptocurrency market has not changed a lot comparing to Thursday. Prices of most coins out of the top 10 have been reduced, however, there are 2 exceptions from the rule. Binance Coin and Litecoin are those ones that keep going up when other coins are ’’relaxing’’.
Especially it is remarkable for BNB, whose rate has exceeded $20.
BTC’s domination rate is stagnating and now constitutes 52%.
BTC/USD
Friday, Apr. 19 has started for the main cryptocurrency with a red bullish candle, pushed down BTC from $5,274 to the $5,200 mark. Currently, the quotes are trading in the $5,200 - $5,250 corridor.
Yesterday, the main cryptocurrency managed to overcome the resistance of the Fibonacci level and tested the mark of $5,276 (61.8%).
If today we manage to return to this level, then the path to the $5,300 mark is possible. The target level of bulls will be reached, after which a pullback will start to fix positions.
On the whole, the BTC maintains an upward priority, but in the coming days, a flat range is also possible.
The price of BTC is trading at $5,256 at the time of writing.
ETH/USD
A general picture for Ethereum is even better than for BTC, as its price has not reduced so much. Yesterday, the asset touched the $176 mark but was not able to consolidate it and rolled back to $170.
On the 1-hour chart, ETH has all efforts to come back to the $180 mark, which was achieved on April.10. That is confirmed by the RSI indicator and trade volumes.

The price of ETH is trading at $171.89 at the time of writing.
XRP/USD
Ripple is the biggest loser from the top 3 coins, as its rate has dropped by more than 2% over the last 24 hours.
The price of XRP is trading at $0.33 and continues to move within the growth and the downward channel. The quotes XRP/USD are moving inside the Ichimoku cloud, which indicates the presence of a lateral trend for Ripple.
