## Ethereum (ETH)
ETH experienced a 2.25% decline, closing the week at $1,725.25. Despite this setback, long-term <a href="/uk/price/optimism-op" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Optimism</a> remains intact. Analysts have forecasted that there is a strong possibility of ETH losing the $1,600 support level, which may further impact its short-term price trajectory. However, some analysts have also predicted that ETH could rebound and aim to surpass the $2,000 mark in the near future. Traders and investors should closely follow the developments and technical indicators to gauge potential buying opportunities.

## XRP (XRP)
Across the past week, XRP faced a 6.72% decline, closing the week at $0.487. The token experienced a downward trend in price, influenced by market volatility and external factors. Analysts have highlighted the struggle of XRP against resistance levels around the $0.5 mark, which currently acts as a ceiling, indicating the need for cautious observation of its price action. In the coming week based on this information, it is possible that XRP will continue this negative trading trajectory.

## Polygon (MATIC)
MATIC faced a 6.97% decline, closing the week at $0.5999. The token's price correction was influenced by regulatory challenges and the recent classification of MATIC as a security by the SEC. Market sentiment has been affected, leading to short-term price pressure as bears rush to sell their tokens as a plethora of exchanges begins to delist the assets. Traders and investors who are interested in MATIC should stay updated on regulatory developments and industry partnerships to assess its future performance and the viability of investing in the asset.
