Ethereum’s [ETH] price dipped under the $170 valuation on 6th September but the valuation breached resistance at $173.01 again and since then, the price consolidated above it. At press time, ETH’s value was under the $180 mark but an imminent bullish breakout was on the cards. The formation of a descending channel pattern indicated the price should retest immediate resistance at $183.36. Previously, the price bounced off the same line thrice, as the resistance at $183.36 held strong.

MACD remained bullish for Ethereum [ETH] as well but the trading volume failed to indicate a clearer picture.

Litecoin [LTC] resonated a similar trend as a prominent descending channel was evident in the charts. Litecoin’s [LTC] price exhibited strong sideways movement between support at $68.43 and $71.05 before the resistance was breached on 10th September. A pullback brought it below the resistance again, but pattern formation at press time suggested another bullish break should surface in the next few days. The immediate resistance remained at $71.05 while strong bullish momentum may see it re-test resistance at $72.92 as well.

The decreasing trading volume confirmed validity of the descending channel pattern.

Tron 1-hour chart

From 8th Sept to 10th Sept, Tron’s [TRX] price movement navigated within the rising wedge pattern and awaited a bearish breakout. The breakout surfaced on 10th Sept itself, as the price slumped down to $0.0143 breaching major support at $0.0151. There were positives to be taken away from the fall as the price exhibited another descending channel formation. However, the price may face strong resistance at $0.0151 before re-testing the resistance at $0.016.

The possibility of a bullish surge was further improved by observing Relative Strength Index, which was on a sharp incline after dropping below over-sold section. The last time Tron [TRX] dropped below 30-line mark was on 7th Sept after which the valuation went on a bullish run.

Cardano 1-hour chart

The Cardano [ADA] chart had contrasting indicators at press time. The price has been on a decline over the 48-hours but the valuation was forming a falling wedge pattern which was nearing completion. ADA should witness a bullish pullback over the new few days but the Relative Strength Index did not support the imminent break.

The 50-moving average and 100-moving average also completed a bearish crossover which reduced the possibility of a bullish pullback.

If a bullish breakout does pan out, the price should re-test the resistance at $0.045 before approaching resistance at $0.048. Another drop may see the price retest the support at $0.043.

Monero 1-hour chart

Monero’s [XMR] 1-hour chart exhibited the predicted bullish breakout following formation of a descending channel. However, the momentum behind the breakout failed to breach past resistance at $73.97 and consolidated under it. At press time, there was an absence of substantial trend pattern as the price consolidated below the resistance. 100-moving average completed a bearish crossover with the 50-moving average and continued to diverge away in the charts.

The immediate trend remains neutral for XMR at press time but it should be more indicative in the next 24-hours.
