XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum Price Prediction: $100M Shorts Wiped as Crypto Market Bounces 2.89%

Bitcoin (BTC) rallied 2.76% in the early Asian session, ending its 8-day consolidation. This move caused the crypto market capitalization to increase by 2.89%, leading to more than $100M in short liquidations. Despite this recent rally in Bitcoin price, $82M in BTC positions were wiped out. Ethereum price rose just 4.15%, leading to a forced closing of $40M positions. Likewise, XRP price increased by 2.63%, but only $3M in liquidations were noted.

Will Ethereum Price Sustain Borader Crypto Market Bullish Momentum?

Ethereum price is known for its lack of performance, but today, it shot up 4.15%, attempting to end its 10-day rangebound streak. Currently price is oscillating between the current month’s VWAP and previous month’s VWAP, leading to a lack of volatility. 

A breakout, in either direction, will be a volatility event. With nearly $6B in positions in jeopardy, which way will ETH’s value go? It is still unsure if Ethereum price prediction leans bullish or bearish due to the uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions.

Bitcoin Price Ends its 8-day Consolidation Streak

After a sideways movement for eight days, Bitcoin price ended its streak by rallying 4.53% from Sunday’s low of $83,900 to a current daily high of $87,702.

XRP Price Ready to Move Higher?

XRP price is grappling with the weekly moving average and is attempting to overcome it. A successful flip will allow the bulls to propel Ripple (XRP) to $2.40, the next key hurdle. Beyond this, the token will revisit the yearly VWAP at $2.51, which is where the uptrend  might pause and momentum might fade.
