TOP 3 Price Predictions: BTC, ETH, XRP — Have Bulls Got Out From The Bears’ Trap?

The uncertainty on the crypto market continues; if yesterday there were attempts to consolidate the positions and keep going up, today, the rates of the top 10 coins are in the red zone, having declined by a few percentages.

One of the possible reasons for such fall is that the Bitfinex exchange hid the lost of $850 million using Tether reserves.

The biggest loser is Ethereum, whose rate has increased by more than 4%.

The BTC’s domination rate has increased and now is 54.6%, and the total market cap makes up $171 billion.

BTC/USD

At night, the rate of the leading cryptocurrency dropped by $500 just over 2 hours. As we have mentioned above the cause of this is that Bitfinex was accused of using Tether to cover significant losses.

On the 1-hour chart, the price of BTC could even go below $5,000; however, a fast bounce back happened up to $5,300. If we look at the technical indicators, we see that RSI shows overbought, and rise to the support level at $5,350 is possible. This is confirmed by the trading volume, which has increased by $2 billion.
