While BAT’s price tried to gain momentum since mid-December after a difficult start to the month, resistance at $0.265 had thwarted upward movement and prices fell drastically over the past week. At the time of writing, prices were picking up once again after bouncing back from support at $0.208. In the short term, prices could continue to rise and test resistance at $0.222. A move higher could see BAT challenge next resistance at $0.239.
MACD was on the rise and implied that bullish momentum could continue to drive prices higher. Parabolic SAR also highlighted that BAT was moving upwards.

A look at XTZ’s price on the charts suggested that December had mostly been uneventful for the crypto asset. For the most part, prices traded within the confines of a tight channel, between $.203 and $2.43. Even though prices fell below the present support at $2.03 over the past few days, an upwards movement soon followed. In the near future, prices could move slightly higher above current resistance and trade between the channel at $2.03 and $2.26.

In the last seven days, EOS’s price had fallen drastically on the charts. Losses of over 14% put EOS amid the biggest losers for the week, among the top 20 coins by market. At one point, prices fell as low as $1.93, the lowest they have been over the past 9 months. However, there was some optimism over the past few trading sessions, as prices were picking up pace. In the short term, prices could rise beyond present resistance at $2.67, and test the next ceiling at $2.89.
