With a 15% rise this week, it's reasonable to anticipate less volatility from BTC over the weekend. Here's a market analysis for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Polygon (MATIC).
Bitcoin
BTC has established a sideways trend, fluctuating between a local high of $30,700 and a low of $29,550. The significant resistance level remains at $31,000, beyond which lies a formidable area of sellers clustered in the $31,600-$32,400 range.
The most likely outcome would involve a retest of the support zones at $28,700-$29,200 and $26,800-$28,000. Should buyers successfully maintain these levels, it could indicate the potential for the current uptrend to continue.
Trade volumes have notably decreased, suggesting that market participants might cool down their activity over the weekend.

Ethereum (ETH)
ETH has also established a sideways trend on the H1 timeframe. Currently, it's hovering around the local minimum of $1,863, with further buyers' zones positioned at the $1,805-$1,825 and $1,725-$1,770 ranges. As long as the support level of $1,700 holds firm, there's a likelihood of a further upward trend.
Seller orders are predominantly situated within the range of the local high at $1,932 and at the psychological mark of $2,000.

Polygon (MATIC)
MATIC is still recovering after the downturn sparked by the SEC's lawsuit against several altcoins. Presently, its price is hovering around the support zone of $0.639-$0.654. Any further buy orders lie beneath, at $0.616 and $0.591.
The current resistance stands in the $0.691-$0.711 range. If traders can breach this barrier, MATIC could push for the $0.738 level. However, the immediate trend continues to be bearish until the price manages to maintain above $0.8.
