BTC Analysis

As mentioned in our last market outlook, BTC rejected the lower bound of the rising orange channel and the $100,500 structure, surging by almost 10% and breaking its all-time high!

As long as the rising channel and the $104,000 support hold, the overall sentiment will remain bullish.

Meanwhile, as BTC retests the lower bound of the rising channel and the $107,000 mark, we’ll be looking for short-term trend-following longs.

ETH Analysis

As per our last ETH update, it rejected the $2,400 support level and has been pushing higher since.

Currently, it’s retesting the structure and previous major high at $2,737. For the bulls to remain in control, a confirmed break above $2,737 is needed.
