BTC Analysis
As anticipated in our previous outlook, BTC rejected the $72,000 resistance level and broke below the last major low, marked in red, at $68,900.
As long as the bears maintain control, a movement towards the lower bound of the channel, marked in orange, and the $65,500 level is anticipated.

Meanwhile, as BTC retests the previous major low at $68,900, a bearish continuation is expected.
ETH Analysis
After rejecting the $2,900 support level, ETH surged by over 35% prior to the ETH spot ETF approval.
Currently, ETH is hovering between the $3,500 support and $4,100 resistance levels. As it approaches the $3,500 support zone, we will be looking for trend-following buy setups on lower timeframes.

For the bulls to maintain control from a long-term perspective and push towards $4,700, a break above the $4,100 resistance level is needed.
