BTC/USDT (Daily Chart)- Uptrend confirmation
BTC/USDT gave breakout above resistance on daily chart last week and has confirmed the uptrend with the price increase. This is likely to shape the trend for coming few weeks.
BTC/USDT was giving lower highs but higher lows till last week resulting in lack of clarity (as discussed last week) but last week’s breakout gave a higher high after more than a month. This confirmed the uptrend and led to a sharp increase in price without any pullbacks so far.
The immediate support for BTC lies at 10854 USDT and the resistance level is 11825 USDT.
Traders may enter long positions and keep adding if the price moves in their favour with adequate stop loss in place.

ETH/BTC also rose last week but did not re-attempt breakout from resistance and has no confirmation on either side for now.
ETH/BTC has been on downtrend for more than a month now and while it gave its first higher low after almost a month, there is still no upward confirmation without a higher high.

XRP/BTC (Daily Chart)- Strong pullback after reversal
XRP/BTC seemed to have reversed it trend last week but the price failed to breakout the resistance and is retesting the support after one way fall in price.
XRP/BTC has had quite an adventurous year so far and it has reversed its trend multiple times. It attempted that again last week but after the breakout failure, price is back near support and very close to previous swing low. If the price breaks below that swing low, the uptrend would fail again. It remains to be seen which side does the price move in upcoming weeks.
