BTC Analysis
As per our previous outlook, BTC rejected the $60,000 resistance level and is currently bearish, trading within the falling channel highlighted in red.
Currently, BTC is hovering within a narrow range. For the bulls to take over and shift the momentum again, a break above the last major high at $59,700 is needed.

Meanwhile, BTC would remain bearish, and a break below the last low at $56,300 could lead to a continuation towards the $52,000 mark.
ETH Analysis
As per our previous outlook, ETH rejected the $2,750 - $2,900 support zone and then broke above the last major high marked in blue.
The bulls will remain in control as long as the last low at $3,018 holds.

In parallel, if the last low at $3,018 is broken downward, a bearish movement within the $2,750 - $2,900 support zone would be anticipated.
