However, the expected decline is considered not a short-term drop but the start of a bearish trend.

Ethereum is trading at $847.56 at press time.

XRP/USD

XRP is the worst gainer today as the rate of the altcoin has increased by only 0.32% over the previous 24 hours.

From the technical point of view, XRP has entered short-term growth after a sharp drop. There is a high concentration of liquidity at the current levels, which means that buyers are accumulating power for a future rise. All in all, if bulls hold the $0.22 mark, the next stop is $0.33. It may be achieved by the end of the current month.

XRP is trading at $0.2206 at press time.

LINK/USD

Chainlink (LINK) is no exception to the rule and has also begun long-term growth. Its price has increased by 6.20% since yesterday.

Even though Chainlink (LINK) has gone up significantly over the last day, it still has growth potential in the upcoming days. Such a statement is confirmed by the MACD indicator that has just entered the green zone. In addition, the buying trading volume is high enough for a price rise.

Chainlink is trading at $12.74 at press time.

BCH/USD

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is the top gainer today as its rate has rocketed by 14.18% over the last day.

On the daily chart, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) might face a correction to the area around $370 before the growth continues. At the moment, bulls do not have enough power to keep the rise based on the low liquidity level.

Bitcoin Cash is trading at $394.30 at press time.

DOT/USD

Polkadot (DOT) has also demonstrated enormous growth recently. The price of the coin has risen by more than 80% over the last week.

Long-term growth remains the main scenario, however, the asset needs to face a correction to gain more power. The drop may last until the coin reaches the support at $7.82 where bulls may again seize the initiative.

Polkadot is trading at $9.45 at press time.
