Bitcoin continues to trade sideways at the bottom end, indicating a potential deepening of the correction. Let's examine the market situation for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Bitcoin (BTC)
Yesterday, the leading cryptocurrency failed to breach the $30,400 level, preventing it from establishing a position in the middle of its sideways trend. Consequently, the asset dipped back to its previous low at $29,500. If buyers don't rally soon, we might see BTC taking an additional plunge, testing the support zone between $28,700 and $29,200. A deeper correction could bring the next range, $26,800-$28,000, into play.
Though the upward plot holds its ground, to make it a reality, BTC needs to overcome the $30,400, $31,500 thresholds and challenge the resistance zone nestled between $31,600 and $32,600. This needs to happen promptly and with substantial trading volumes.

Ethereum (ETH)
ETH continues to move sideways between the support level at $1,870 and the resistance level at $1,950. If the uptrend persists, the digital asset would need to successfully venture through the zones of $1,973-$2026 and $2,066-$2,141 to hit a new yearly high.
Should Bitcoin’s correction become more pronounced, the closest fallback positions for ETH will sit at $1,805-$1,850 and $1,724-$1,770. The drive upwards will hold its course as long as Ethereum’s price stays above $1,700.
