BTC Analysis

According to our latest BTC analysis, it remains strong, trading within the rising channel marked in blue.

As long as the channel holds, further upside is expected toward the upper bound of the daily channel at $125,000.

Meanwhile, from a short-term perspective, as BTC retests the lower bound of the rising blue channel, we’ll be looking for trend-following long setups.

ETH Analysis

As per our latest ETH update, it rejected the lower bound of its range at $4,000 and has been gaining strength since.

This week, ETH is approaching the upper bound of the range around $5,000, so a short-term bearish correction is expected.
