Yesterday, Bitcoin hit a new weekly high at $27,300 but failed to surpass the prevailing resistance zone. We present a market breakdown for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as of Friday, September 29.
Bitcoin (BTC)
This week, Bitcoin exhibited minimal volatility, navigating between support zones of $26,000–$26,200 and resistance zones of $27,200–$27,500. At the moment, BTC is attempting to climb higher, but buyers are remarkably inactive.
Should Bitcoin manage to breach the existing seller's zone, it has the potential to approach the resistance levels of $27,750–$28,200 and $28,600. Securing a position above this last level would indicate a shift in the local market trend to an upward trajectory.
On the other hand, if a corrective movement ensues, BTC may refresh its local low within the support zone of $25,400–$25,750 and at the level of $25,140. In the absence of unfavorable news, consolidation of BTC’s price below $25,000 appears unlikely.
BTC chart on the H4 timeframe
Ethereum (ETH)
The correlation between Ethereum and BTC remains high. Currently, ETH is testing the support zone of $1,670–$1,690. If buyers can assert strength, the asset may traverse this range and test the resistances at $1,718 and $1,726–$1,745. However, we can only consider the downward trend in ETH to be over once the price is securely above $1,800.
The prevailing support zone is $1,625–$1,645. Below this, buyer orders are positioned within the $1,557–$1,582 zone and at the level of $1,531. In the event of a substantial drop in BTC, ETH might reach new local lows, where the most robust support continues to be the psychological marker of $1,500.
ETH chart on the H4 timeframe
Weekends in the cryptocurrency market typically proceed with reduced volatility. If BTC maintains its trade within the existing support and resistance zones, we can anticipate a tranquil weekend with no dramatic fluctuations in the charts.
