BTC, ETH and PAXG Price Analysis for November 20, 2023

Bitcoin is now trading close to the resistance zone of $37,500-$38,000. This range is key for the BTC upward movement: if buyers can firmly establish above $38,000 with significant trading volume, the next target could be set at $39,000.

There is a noticeable decline in trading volumes, suggesting a potential decrease in buying momentum for BTC. This condition could lead to a deeper price correction and a sharp decline in the price of the asset soon.

In this scenario, BTC might test support at levels like $34,800, within the $33,400-$34,100 range, and the $31,600-$32,500 zone, down to about $30,700. Given these factors, initiating long or short positions is highly risky at the moment.

Ethereum is currently trading within a broad sideways range between the support zone of $1,852-$1,915 and the resistance zone of $2,090-$2,141. Despite showing promising growth on November 10, Ethereum has not yet updated its yearly high.

Currently, Ethereum's primary objective is to maintain its upward momentum. Beyond the existing resistance zone, there's a seller's level at $2,200, and further up, the $2,300 mark stands as the next target for buyers.

A potential correction in Bitcoin's chart could similarly impact Ethereum's price. If a downturn occurs, Ethereum might test lower support levels at $1,790, $1,705, and in the range of $1,630 to $1,672. It should be noted that Ethereum's price corrections could be more severe compared to Bitcoin's. Nonetheless, Ethereum has a higher potential for an upward trend.

The last analysis of PAXG proved quite accurate, with the gold price managing to rebound from the buying zone at $1,890-$1,910. Presently, the asset is hovering near the resistance zone of $1,978-$2,000. Though buyers didn't succeed in breaking through this range on their initial try, the chances of doing so have markedly increased.

If the price of PAXG consolidates above the pivotal $2,000 mark, the asset could quickly escalate to the $2,020 level and might even surpass its annual high, reaching around $2,052. This development could occur within the next one and a half months.

A further correction in the PAXG chart might be considered if buyers are unable to swiftly penetrate the $2,000 level. In such a case, the asset could retest the $1,890-$1,910 zone and potentially set new local lows at $1,868 and within the $1,800-$1,835 range. The ongoing inverse correlation between BTC and gold prices suggests that holding both assets in an investment portfolio is an effective strategy for hedging and diversification.

This week's economic calendar is filled with events such as the update on the U.S. existing home sales (Tuesday, November 21); initial jobless claims and crude oil inventories (Wednesday, November 22); and the Services PMI (Friday, November 24). While none of these events are expected to fundamentally impact cryptocurrency exchange rates, they could contribute to short-term market volatility.
