Roundup article 25th April.

With Trump considering lowering tariffs on China and Putin considering a ceasefire with Ukraine, the crypto market hasn’t felt this optimistic in a long time. Will this bullish correction extend into a full bullish wave, or is more downside still expected? Let’s find out together.

BTC Analysis

As per our last BTC update, it broke above the $90,000 structure, sparking a complete trend shift from bearish to bullish.

For the bulls to stay in control and aim for the previous all-time high at $107,000, a break above the $95,000 round number is still needed.

In parallel, if—and only if—the orange channel and the last low at $89,000 are broken to the downside, the bears would regain control.

ETH Analysis

As per our last roundup overview, ETH rejected the $1,500–$1,600 support zone and has been bullish throughout the week.

However, this move is just a correction phase, trading within the macro falling channel marked in red.

For the bulls to take over in the long term, a break above the $2,100 resistance level is still needed.

Meanwhile, as ETH retests the lower orange trendline, we’ll be looking for new short-term long opportunities.

Both BTC and ETH closed the week over 9% higher, triggering a bullish sentiment across altcoins.

BTC broke above $90,000, shifting the trend bullish, but a break above $95,000 is needed to target $107,000.

ETH rebounded from key support but remains in a macro correction; a break above $2,100 is required for a long-term bullish reversal.
