BTC Analysis‍

This week, BTC has been consolidating within a narrow range, between $41,800 and $43,650.

Today, BTC broke the $41,800 support level. As long as this level holds as resistance, we anticipate a bearish continuation with a potential move towards the $39,000 demand zone.

In parallel, if the $41,800 level is broken upward, we anticipate the bulls to take over in the short term, propelling the price towards the $43,650 resistance.

For the bulls to maintain control and assume dominance from a medium-term perspective, a breakout above $43,650 is needed.‍

ETH Analysis‍

ETH faced rejection at the upper bound of the blue wedge pattern and entered a correction phase, trading within the falling channel outlined in red.

Currently, ETH is hovering around a robust support level at $2450. For the bulls to regain control and initiate the next upward impulse, a breakout above the last major high marked in green at $2550 is necessary.

In parallel, if the $2450 support is breached downward, we anticipate further bearish movement towards the lower bound of the blue wedge pattern and the $2290 demand zone. In this scenario, we will be on the lookout for new short-term buy setups.‍
