Roundup 16 May

The crypto market isn’t taking a break — it’s like a bird set free. After months of bearish sentiment, almost every altcoin has confirmed a momentum shift from bearish to bullish by breaking above a major high. This is the bullish leg we’ve been waiting for, and here’s what to expect next week.

BTC Analysis

As mentioned in our last BTC update, it is currently hovering around its all-time high zone.

For the bulls to stay in control and extend the major bullish leg, a break above the $109,500 mark is needed.

Meanwhile, if BTC breaks below the $100,000 round number, a bearish correction toward the $88,000 zone would be expected.

ETH Analysis

As per our last ETH analysis, it broke above the $2,500 resistance, which is now acting as support.

As long as the lower bound of this support at $2,400 holds, a bullish continuation toward the $3,000 round number remains possible.

Closing Remarks

In summary, the crypto market has entered a strong bullish phase, with altcoins breaking key highs and ETH leading the rally—up 50% last week and 18% this week.

BTC is hovering near its all-time high, with $109,500 as the key breakout level for further upside. However, a drop below $100,000 could trigger a correction toward $88,000.

Similarly, ETH remains bullish above $2,400, targeting $3,000, but a break below this level could lead to a pullback toward $2,100.
