The cryptocurrency market saw a placid weekend, with Bitcoin successfully sustaining above the $30,000 mark. Check out our detailed market analysis for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Bitcoin
The leading cryptocurrency continues to trade in a sideways pattern, fluctuating between a local low of $29,550 and a high of $31,250. For now, the priority is an ascending trajectory, potentially testing the resistance level of $31,600-$32,400 and breaking the local peak.
It's also crucial to note that the asset hasn't experienced a considerable correction for some time. Given the upward trend, it would be rational to anticipate buyers' reactions to the support areas of $28,700-$29,200 and $26,800-$28,000. The overall outlook remains positive as long as BTC trades above the $26,500 mark.

Ethereum (ETH)
The ETH chart exhibits a more pronounced horizontal channel, with the price currently moving sideways between $1,862 and $1,932. If the uptrend continues, the first goal would be the psychological barrier of $2,000, followed by the next resistance zone at $2,050-$2,141.
The immediate support level is the $1,805-$1,825 zone. The next area filled with buyer orders ranges from $1,724 to $1,770. The bullish trend takes precedence as long as Ethereum's price remains above the $1,700 threshold.
