Bitcoin continues to trade above $29,000, with volatility remaining at a low. Dive into our market analysis for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Bitcoin (BTC)
On higher timeframes, there hasn't been a significant change in BTC's pattern from our last analysis. Thus, it's worth examining lower timeframes, like the M15 chart. Currently, Bitcoin fluctuates between a support bracket of $29,350-$29,400 and a resistance range of $29,700-$29,800. Within this consolidation, there's a distinct resistance level at $29,500, which needs to be overcome for a potential uptrend.
If the downturn persists, the BTC price could gravitate towards support zones at $29,275 and the $29,100-$29,200 range, from where a rebound is conceivable. As for any bullish momentum, it would gain credibility only if BTC can firmly position itself above the $31,100 mark.

Ethereum (ETH)
ETH has been experiencing a sideways trend. The boundaries of this consolidation range are marked by a support level at $1,843 and resistance at $1,871. Just below the present price, there's a concentration of buy orders at intervals of $5: $1,835, $1,830, and $1,825.
Should ETH persist in its upward movement, buyers are likely to face resistance between $1,880-$1,886, and notably at the psychological level of $1,900. In general, ETH's trajectory has a strong correlation with Bitcoin's chart, a factor traders should consider when making decisions.
