BTC Analysis

As per our latest BTC analysis, it has been in a correction phase, trading within the falling channel marked in red.

However, the overall bias remains bullish as long as BTC continues to trade within the long-term channel marked in orange.

BTC daily chart overall bullish as long as it is trading above the $111,500 support level.

As BTC approaches the lower bound of the orange channel, and as long as the $111,500 structure holds, we will be looking for trend-following long setups on lower timeframes.

ETH Analysis

As per our latest ETH update, it rejected the upper bound of its range around $4,000 and has been bearish since then.

As ETH approaches the lower bound of the range at $3,500, we will be looking for new short-term long setups.

ETH 4h chart trading within a range between $3,500 and $4,000.

If the $3,500 level is broken downward, we will expect a deeper bearish correction for ETH toward the $3,000 support level, which could bring more pain to the crypto market.

Closing Remarks

In summary, despite entering a typically bullish summer month, the crypto market has shown bearish signs over the past week, with BTC down over 2% and most altcoins following suit.

BTC remains in a correction phase within a falling channel, but the long-term outlook stays bullish as long as it holds above $111,500.

Meanwhile, ETH has turned bearish after rejecting the $4,000 resistance and is now approaching key support at $3,500. A break below this level could trigger a deeper drop toward $3,000, adding further pressure to the broader market.
