What happened in the cryptocurrency market and to three main currencies — bitcoin, ethereum and XRP over the past 24 hours.

Top-10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as of October 19

On Thursday bitcoin preferred a neutral scenario (one curious fact is that the cryptocurrency declined on Bitfinex due to the strengthening of Tether). Ethereum and XRP became cheaper.

Bitcoin (Bitcoin: BITCOIN) is consolidating in the center of the high-volume area, while the $6,350 mark has repeatedly acted as a support. Recently, during the weekend the market behaved in a calm manner, but it’s worth keeping in mind a possible test of $6,200. The main scenario hasn’t changed since Thursday.

Time-lapse: on October 19, 2017, bitcoin price rolled back by $350, fixeing at $5,707.

Today a neutral scenario provides for fluctuations around the control price of $6,428.

Ethereum (BITFINEX: ETH/USD.BITFINEX) fell slightly, but hasn’t yet reached the first goal of the bearish scenario. Today the resumption of the decline is highly likely.

Time-lapse: on October 19, 2017, ethereum price increased to $307.1.

Today bears will develop their success. Firstly they will test the $192.5 mark and then they can launch an attack on the minimum mark of October 12 ($185).

XRP (BITFINEX: XRP/USD) fulfilled the basic goal of the bearish scenario. After the exit from the descending channel the most logical behavior will be the increasing dynamics (main targets are $0,458 and $0,528) but the possibility of short-term decline still exists.

Time-lapse: on October 19, 2017, XRP price decreased to $0.19.

Today the bearish scenario suggests a decline to $0,422 and consolidation at the bottom of the current area.
