Bitcoin/US Dollar

On June 13, the bears continued the selling pressure, which caused the BTC/USDT pair to drop to an intraday low of $22,600. The sharp drop over the past few days has sent the Relative Strength Index (RSI) into oversold territory. This suggests that a rally or consolidation is likely over the next few days.
Any bounce is likely to face selling in the $26,700-$28,630 zone. If the bears flip this zone into resistance, it means that sentiment remains negative. Traders can then make another attempt to restart the downtrend. A break below $22,600 could take the pair to the psychological $20,000 level.
The bulls need to push and hold the price above $28,630 to indicate that the bears might lose their footing.
ETH/USDT
Ether (ETH) broke below the key $1,700 support on June 10, suggesting that the bears are in control. This signaled the start of the next leg of the downtrend.

Selling intensified on June 11 and the bears took the price below the strong support at $1,300. This indicates that traders are becoming fearful and are trimming their positions.
The aggressive selling of the past three days has pushed the RSI below 22. Historically, ETH/USDT has started to rally when the RSI falls near 21. This suggests that the pair could attempt a rally to the $1,700 breakout level.
Alternatively, if the bears continue to apply selling pressure, the pair could drop to psychological support at $1,000.
BNB/USDT
The inability of the bulls to push BNB back into the triangle may have prompted heavy selling by the bears on June 11th. Selling gained momentum and the price dropped near the strong support at $211.

If the price recovers from $211, it would indicate accumulation at lower levels. The buyers will then try to push the price above the 20-day exponential moving average ($289). If successful, it would mean that the BNB/USDT pair could remain range bound between $211 and $350 for several days.
On the other hand, if the bears sink the price below $211, it will signal the start of the next leg of the downtrend. The $200 psychological level might offer minor support, but if the level gives way, the next support could be $186.
ADA/USDT
Cardano (ADA) broke below the 20-day EMA ($0.56) on June 10th and bulls’ attempts to push the price back above the June 11th level led to heavy selling at higher levels.
