Top-10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as of October 9:

Previous day was marked by the lack of unified consensus in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin and ethereum fulfilled the basic goals of the bullish scenarios but XRP preferred a neutral one.

Bitcoin (Bitcoin: BITCOIN) has tested Saturday's maximum mark and stuck in a high-volume area with a control price of $6.718. It’s curious that the control price of Tuesday coincides with the low volume level of $6.661 - a satellite of $6.646.

Time-lapse: on October 9, 2017, bitcoin price almost didn’t changed and stopped at $4.593.

Bitcoin managed to take a hold in the $6.646 - 6.789 area. Now the basic task for bulls is to attack at the upper border of the area and the $6.828 - 6.840 range. Then the upper border of the triangle will come into play.

Ethereum (BITFINEX: ETH/USD.BITFINEX) consolidated above $228 - this is the level that today will separate the bearish and bullish scenarios. So the situation can change at any minute.

Time-lapse: on October 9, 2017, ethereum price lost a little and fixed at $306,14.

Today bulls are interested in testing the upper border of the $238 area and the maximum marks of September 29-30.

XRP (BITFINEX: XRP/USD) adhered to the neutral scenario. The local volume profile shows two areas where their centers are the control prices of Sunday and Monday. In fact, they divide the bearish and bullish scenarios. If the cryptocurrency returns to the control price of Monday, an attack at the upper border of the area and further growth is likely. Conversely, if XRP falls to the control price of Sunday, further decline is likely to follow.

Time-lapse: on October 9, 2017, XRP price increased to $0.29.
