The crypto market experienced a tranquil weekend, free from extreme fluctuations or high volatility. Here is a breakdown of the market dynamics for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin spent the entire weekend trading close to the lower limit of its sideways trend, where the $29,500 support level lies. The situation is becoming critical for buyers: if Bitcoin doesn't manage to stay above the $31,500 level and doesn't test the resistance zone at $31,600-$32,600, we might see a sharp pullback from the current uptrend.
In this case, Bitcoin could test the support zones at $28,700-$29,200 and the broad range of $26,800-$28,000. The overall uptrend will remain the main focus as long as Bitcoin keeps trading above the key psychological level of $25,000.

Ethereum (ETH)
Currently, Ethereum (ETH) is trading within a narrow range, between the support level at $1,845 and the resistance level at $1,880. Yet, Ethereum might stay within this range as long as Bitcoin's activity remains relatively subdued.
The existing resistance zones sit between $1,846-$1,977 and the psychological level of $2,000. If BTC undergoes a correction, ETH is expected to follow a similar trajectory. The initial buying orders are expected to sit within the support zones of $1,805-$1,830 and $1,724-$1,770. As long as the ETH price holds above the $1,700 mark, the ascending trend remains the dominant strategy.
