At the time of writing, BTC/USD is changing hands above $9,700, mostly unchanged both on a day-to-day basis and since the beginning of Wednesday.

The ultimate bullish target is created by a psychological $10,000.

Ethereum Classic Price Analysis: ETC stays in the range ahead of Phoenix hard fork

Ethereum Classic will have its Phoenix hard fork in just two weeks. The critical upgrade will make Ethereum Classic blockchain compatible with Ethereum’s recent update known as Istanbul. The ETC developers team points out that Phoenix update will allow for interoperability between ETH and ETC and also all participating chains.

Lots of exchanges and cryptocurrency wallets confirmed that they would support the fork.

Ripple Price Analysis: XRP tests the psychological 0.20 level once again

Ripple’s XRP has moved lower on Wednesday as general crypto sentiment is poor on the session. If the price does move lower the green rectangle represents an area which has acted as a magnet for price in the past. This means it could be tested once again.

If the price does move beyond that, the black trendline underneath the price could be another level of support and if it is broken it could mean there is more weakness to come. There is another support zone at the purple line close to the 0.18 price.
