Analysis

XRP prices are whipsawing and daily volatility has dried up. Intra-day prices have recently dipped generating blowout in the Bollinger bands.

Support is seen near 0.46, while resistance is near 0.51.

View

Bitcoin? prices are attempting to form a bottom but have been unable to gain traction.

Bitcoin? prices continue to trade sideways despite a pickup in riskier assets. Prices have been unable to recapture resistance near the 10-day moving average at 6,740.  A break of this level would likely lead to a test of the 50-day moving average at 8,790.

The fast-stochastic recently generated a crossover sell signal but the trajectory is flat which also reflects consolidation.

Up-side Target:       6,740

Down-side Target:  6,060
