Crypto Price Analysis & Overview January 3rd: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Binance Coin, and Monero.

If the bulls continue to drive Bitcoin higher and push it above $7,400, immediate resistance lies at $7,698 (bearish .382 Fib Retracement), $8,000 (100-days EMA), and $8,200 (200-days EMA).

Ethereum has started somewhat of a price reversal after increasing by a total of 5% over the past week to bring the price for the coin up to $135. The cryptocurrency has been trapped at this level of resistance since mid-December and must break above here to see any kind of bullish momentum.

Looking ahead, if the bulls manage to push ETH above $135, immediate resistance toward the upside is located at $145 and $152 (December highs). Above this, resistance can be found at $158 (100-days EMA) and $170. Alternatively, if the sellers regroup and push ETH lower, initial support can be found at $125 and $120. Beneath this, additional support is found at $118 and $116.

If the bulls continue to cause BNB to bounce higher, an initial resistance is located at $14 and $14.62. If the buyers manage to drive BNB above $15, resistance is found at $15.81 (bearish .382 Fib Retracement) and $16.95 (bearish .5 Fib Retracement and 100-days EMA).
