What happened in cryptocurrency market and three main currencies - bitcoin, ethereum and XRP over the last 24 hours.

Top-10 cryptocurrencies by oscillators rating as of October 5:

On Thursday October 4, the market showed a neutral trend. In general, the top cryptocurrencies remained within the borders of the respective scenarios, although ethereum turned out to be slightly stronger than it was predicted and didn’t want to return to the center of the high-volume area.

Bitcoin (Bitcoin) was consolidating in the range of Sunday/Monday. The level of low volume at $6,598 has largely lost its significance. Now the upper border of the area is the $6,646 - 6,661 range. During this past week it has repeatedly become an obstacle for further growth. On Friday and upcoming weekend the most likely scenario is a rise to $6,789 and local maximum marks ($6,828 - 6,840).

Time-lapse: on October 5, 2017, bitcoin price dropped to $4,177.

While the center of the current area acts as a support, market traders consider prices of the area as too low and actively buy into the punctures. For the next three days bears will continue to test Wednesday / Thursday minimum marks. Their basic task is to return to the control price. After that it will be possible to conduct an attack at the minimum mark of September 25 and the lower border of the $6,263 area.

Ethereum found support at the control price of $219. As long as the cryptocurrency remains above this price, the probability of a bullish scenario remains strong.

Time-lapse: on October 5, 2017, ethereum lost $1, fixing at $290,49.

Today bulls may attack Tuesday’s maximum marks. For them, the main task is to consolidate above the $228 level, after which it will be possible to test the upper border of the $238 area.

On Thursday XRP returned to the center of the area, testing its lower and upper borders. In such conditions its logical to expect a continuation of the neutral dynamic. The most likely scenario for the weekend provides fluctuations around the control price of the area.

Time-lapse: on October 5, 2017, XRP price almost unchanged at $0,22.
