More specifically, ETH found strong support at $118, which is provided by the downside 1.618 Fib Extension. ETH rebounded higher from here but was unable to overcome resistance at $133.50.
Looking ahead, if the bulls continue to rise above $133.50, higher resistance is located at $145, $152, and $165 (100-days EMA). On the other hand, if the sellers drop ETH beneath the current level of $128, support is found at $120, the lower boundary of the channel, $118, and $116.23.

The cryptocurrency continued to drop beneath support at 0.019 BTC, 0.0185 BTC, and 0.018 BTC until reaching at 0.0175 BTC (downside 1.414 Fibonacci Extension level). ETH rebounded higher from here as it sits at 0.0178 BTC.
If the bears continue to drop the market lower, immediate support is found at 0.0175 BTC. Beneath this, support lies at 0.0171 BTC (.886 Fib Retracement), 0.0169 BTC, and 0.0164 BTC (September lows).

The cryptocurrency managed to find support at a downside 1.618 Fib Extension, which allowed it to bounce higher to where it now trades at $0.1930.
Looking ahead, if the buyers push the market, higher initial resistance is located at $0.20. Above this, resistance lies at $0.2120 and $0.2280. Alternatively, if the sellers drive XRP lower, strong support can be expected at $0.18. Beneath this, support lies at $0.17 and $0.167.
Against BTC, XRP finally dropped beneath the 3000 SAT support level and started to fall. The cryptocurrency penetrated beneath the lower boundary of the previous wedge as it slipped much lower into support at 2600 SAT. XRP has since rebounded from here as it attempts to break 2700 SAT resistance.
If the buyers can break above 2700 SAT, higher resistance lies at 2800 SAT, 2900 SAT, and 3000 SAT. Toward the downside, initial support is expected at 2600 SAT. Beneath this, additional support is located at 2530 SAT, 2455 SAT, and 2350 SAT.
Similar to the rest of the top altcoins, Litecoin suffered an 8.55% beat down this week, causing it to drop beneath the $40 level. The coin dropped as low as $36 before support was found, allowing it to rebound higher back above the $40 level where it currently trades.

If the buyers continue to push LTC higher against BTC, immediate resistance is to be expected at 0.0058 BTC. Above this, resistance lies at 0.006 BTC and 0.0064 BTC (bearish .5 Fibonacci Retracement). On the other hand, if the sellers push the market lower, support can be expected at 0.0055 BTC. Beneath this, support is located at 0.0054 BTC and 0.0053 BTC.
Binance Coin saw a 9% price fall this week, causing it to drop to the current $13.46 level. It was pushed further beneath this but managed to find support at $12.17, which allowed BNB to bounce higher.
