Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) Charts and Analysis
- The first test of important support holds.
- A handful of altcoins including Dogecoin, Near Protocol, and Harmony, rally
In last weekend's bitcoin article I noted that support at just under $40k would need to hold if Bitcoin wanted to look to re-set higher.
'A combination of weak fundamentals and technicals leaves Bitcoin testing lower levels to try and find the next level of support. BTC is testing a support zone between $39.6k and $41.7k as we write...'
Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) - Collapsing Into Multi-Month Support as Sellers Triumph
On Monday this week Bitcoin touched $36.7k before rebounding sharply and posting a mid-week high around $44.5k. This range now looks likely to hold in the short-term with little reason to break these two boundaries. On the daily chart, the Average True Range (ATR) continues to slip lower, indicating a less volatile market, while the CCI indicator has moved out of oversold territory and is flatlining. One negative indicator, a 50-/200-day death cross, is close to being formed and may add a burst of headline volatility next week.

A similar story with Ethereum this week with a sharp sell-off on Monday followed by a bounce back and ending the week consolidating. Again, it may be that Ethereum has found a short-term base although the recent break below the 200-day simple moving average needs to be reversed quickly to allow room for further upside. The latest run of lower highs and lower lows remains intact, leaving the chart with a negative technical setup.
