7 Days Heatmap

‍After breaking above the $60,000 mark due to the FED's interest rate decrease, traders became optimistic overnight.

BTC Analysis

‍As per our last BTC analysis, it broke above the $60,000 mark, shifting the momentum in favor of the bulls.

The bulls will retain control as long as BTC continues trading within the rising broadening wedge pattern shown in red.

For full control, the bulls need to break above the monthly high of $65,000. A retest of the lower bound of the wedge and the $60,000 level would create an attractive zone for trend-following long positions.

ETH Analysis

‍ETH, much like BTC, is now bullish and trading within a rising wedge pattern.

In contrast to our last weekly overview, ETH has regained its bullish momentum, and the bulls will stay in control as long as it remains above the $2,400 support level.

To anticipate a bull run toward the $3,000 resistance, the bulls must break above the $2,600 monthly high.

In the meantime, if ETH retests the lower bound of the channel, it will present an opportunity to look for trend-following long positions.
