During the week May 20-26, the top three highest performers of the Top Ten Market Cap Coins were Litecoin (LTC), Binance Coin (BNB) and Bitcoin (BTC). In this analysis, we examine the price fluctuations of all three. Then we summarize our findings in the conclusion.

Binance Coin Reaches ATH

On May 11, the price of Binance Coin reached a low of $17.79. An increase ensued, and on May 15, the price reached a then all-time high (ATH) of $28.76. Subsequently, the price continued rising and breached the $35 level on May 25, 26, and 27.

During this period, BNB has been trading within an ascending channel. The highlighted part in the graph below is the price of BNB during the measuring period of May 20-27.

BNB

The price has gradually increased within this channel without experiencing significant fluctuations. The movements between resistance and support have not created identifiable patterns. However, the increases seem to be slightly more rapid than the decreases.

At the time of writing, the price was trading near the middle of the channel.

Litecoin Looking Up

Since May 12, Litecoin has been trading above a horizontal support line. A descending resistance line emerged on May 16 when a high of $106.98 was reached.

On May 20, LTC was still trading within the descending wedge. The resistance line was subsequently validated several times between May 21 and 22. Then the price fell to the support line.

It rebounded on May 23, and the price broke out of the wedge the following day. Since then, the price has surged. The highlighted portion of the graph below represents price fluctuations of LTC between May 20 and 27.

 

The price has touched the support line four times before breakout. On May 25, it reached a high of $105.4. After a slight decrease, the price surged again and reached a higher high of $116.0 on May 27.

Bitcoin with the Bulls

On May 16, the price of Bitcoin reached a high of $8352.3. A decrease ensued and the price made a low of $6999.9 on May 17. It then began trading within a symmetrical triangle outlined below. A spike on May 26, however, caused a breakout from the trading pattern.
