Immediate support is near the $ 46,000 mark. Critical support is near $ 45,500, below which there is a risk of a bigger decline.

On the flip side, there is an initial hurdle near the $ 46,800 mark. The first major resistance is at $ 47,000, above which the price could rise.

Cryptocurrency Market January 4, 2022: ADA, BNB, SOL, DOGE and XRP prices

Cardano (ADA) is down nearly 3% to move below $ 1.32. It is currently trying to rebound, but if it fails, a sharp drop below $ 1.30 in the upcoming sessions could usher in a bigger drop.

Binance Coin (BNB) is also down 3% and the bears have pushed the price below $ 512. It is struggling to stay above the $ 500 mark right now. A closing price below $ 500 could trigger a steeper decline towards $ 480.

Solana (SOL) fell below $ 170. The price is currently approaching the $ 165 support level. If the bulls fail to defend $ 165, a bigger decline is possible. On the flip side, the bears could stay active near the $ 175 mark.

DOGE fell below the $ 0.170 mark. Price is gaining downside momentum and could soon return to the $ 0.165 level. The next big support is near the $ 0.162 level.

The XRP price fell and approached the $ 0.820 level. The next big support is near $ 0.80 below which the price could accelerate downward. On the downside, $ 0.85 is a huge hurdle.

Overall, Bitcoin price is falling and consolidating near $ 46,000. Should BTC not hold above $ 46,000, there could be a more pronounced drop in the short term.
