Weekly Cryptocurrency Market Analysis: Altcoins Reach Bearish Exhaustion And Are About To Change Direction

Cryptocurrency markets continue to decline as altcoins trade in the bearish trend zone.

Ripple is currently trading above its moving average lines and is the best performing cryptocurrency this week. BDX, PAXG, LEO and MKR seem to be struggling in the bearish trend zone. So let us take a closer look at some of these cryptocurrencies.

XRP

The price of Ripple (XRP) is moving sideways below the overriding resistance. The altcoin has been bouncing below the $0.55 barrier area since May 30 in preparation for a breakout. However, today XRP is falling as it fails to surpass the recent high. The altcoin is currently selling for $0.50. If XRP retraces above the moving average lines, the cryptocurrency will continue to attack the barrier to the upside. However, if the altcoin falls below the moving average lines, the sideways trend will resume. Thus, the price of the altcoin has been fluctuating between $0.42 and $0.55 since March 29. The cryptocurrency asset is currently in a bearish momentum below the daily stochastic level of 50.XRP is the top cryptocurrency of the week and has the following characteristics:

Current price: $0.5059

Beldex

Beldex (BDX) is moving correctly as it runs above the moving average lines. The upside correction is rejected at the high of $0.050. The altcoin has regained the top position above the moving average lines. At the time of writing, it is trading at $0.045. The price will continue to move higher if it finds support above the moving average lines. If the $0.050 ceiling is broken, the price of BDX will rise to $0.063. However, the altcoin will continue its previous decline if it falls below the moving average. BDX will fall to its previous low of $0.040.

The price of PAX GOLD (PAXG) is falling below the moving average lines. The inability of buyers to maintain positive momentum above the $2,060 resistance has led to this decline.

The oversold area of the market was reached by the current decline. Once the market approaches the oversold area, selling pressure should ease.
