BTC Analysis

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

However, the overall bias remains bullish, as BTC continues to trade within the rising blue and orange channels, reflecting the medium-term and long-term trends.

As long as the $107,000 support level holds, BTC’s momentum will remain bullish.

For the bulls to fully regain control and initiate the next major upward move, a break above the falling red channel is required. In that scenario, our medium-term target would be the upper bound of the orange and blue channels, around $140,000.

ETH Analysis

As per our latest market outlook, ETH broke above the last major high marked in blue at $3,590 and surged as if there were no tomorrow.

Now, as it retests the upper bound of the rising channel and the $4,000 resistance, we expect a short-term correction.

Since ETH has been bullish, trading within the rising red channel, we will be looking for trend-following long positions after each bearish correction.

In this case, if ETH retests the lower bound of the red channel — which aligns with the last major high — we will be looking for new long entries.

Closing Remarks

In summary, the crypto market is showing strong summer optimism, with BTC up over 1.5% and ETH up more than 5.7% over the past week.

BTC remains in a bullish medium- to long-term trend despite its current correction phase, with $140,000 as a potential target if it breaks above the falling red channel.

ETH recently broke key resistance at $3,590, surged sharply, and is now facing $4,000 resistance. A short-term pullback is expected, with opportunities to re-enter longs if it retests the lower bound of its rising channel.
