After dipping to $25,000 last week, Bitcoin's trajectory has since stabilized. Dive into a detailed market review for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as of Monday, August 21.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Currently, Bitcoin is trading between the support range of $25,600-$25,800 and the resistance level of $26,300. For a bullish trajectory to take root, buyers need to counteract the dip experienced on August 18. This entails surpassing the resistance levels of $26,600-$26,800, and then the more substantial range of $27,000-$27,700.
Given the overwhelming number of sell orders, any increase in the BTC price will likely hinge on underlying fundamentals. With the current market sentiment not being particularly positive, the expectation leans towards a further drop, potentially targeting the psychological barrier of $25,000.

Ethereum (ETH)
ETH is trading sideways between a support level of $1,654 and a resistance level of $1,695. For the trend to turn bullish, buyers would need to consolidate above the resistance range of $1,708-$1,726, and further breach the sellers' level of $1,750.
Should this trend persist, Ethereum may retest the support range of $1,618-$1,642, potentially dropping further to levels of $1,600 and $1,550.
