On December 23, 2021, crypto markets in general dropped by 0.8 percent, while Ripple’s XRP token and Cardano (ADA), among others, were boosted in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin Price on December 23, 2021
After a failed attempt at $49,500, bitcoin’s price began a bearish fall. Below the $49,000 and $48,500 levels, there was a break. Initial support, on the other hand, is near $48,000. The next major support level is $47,500, below which the price may fall.
If the price rises again, it may run across resistance near $49,000. The nearest level of resistance is about $49,500, above which the price might touch $50,000.
Ethereum Price on December 23, 2021
At near $4,060 and $4,080, Ethereum is facing sellers. The price of ETH began to fall, and it was trading below $4,000. The price could prolong short-term losses if it falls below $3,920, the next significant support level.
There is immediate resistance near the $4,000 barrier. At or near $4,050, the next big obstacle, the price could seek to make a massive upside break.
Ripple’s XRP token and Cardano (ADA) in the previous 24 hours
Despite declines in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the market as a whole, Ripple’s XRP token and Cardano (ADA) have risen in the previous 24 hours.
