Bitcoin has renewed its high at the $31,500 mark, yet buyers appear to be gradually losing their momentum. An in-depth look at the market landscape for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Bitcoin (BTC)
After achieving a 1.5-year high of $31,500, Bitcoin swiftly took a downturn, reaching the bottom border of its current trading range at $29,700. At present, the important support level lies at $29,500. Below this, the buyer's territory ranges from $28,700 to $29,200, followed by a wider zone from $26,800 to $28,000.
If the upward trend persists, buyers will need to promptly and robustly overcome the $31,500 level and venture into the resistance zone of $31,600-$32,600. Otherwise, Bitcoin could be looking at a correction with the potential to set new local lows.

Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum couldn't quite stretch to hit the psychological level of $2,000, instead reaching a resistance zone between $1,846 and $1,977 before taking a tumble, along with Bitcoin. Currently, the price is nestled near the $1,805 to $1,830 support zone. Further dips could trigger buying within the $1,724-$1,770 range. The overall upward trajectory for Ethereum remains as long as the price holds above $1,700.
Broadly speaking, it wouldn't be surprising to see Ethereum mirror Bitcoin's behavior, given their tight correlation. There's a good chance that the upward trend has reached its local peaks, which could pave the way for a correction.
