Bitcoin price

There was a strong upward move in bitcoin price above the USD 7,800 and USD 8,000 resistance levels. However, BTC/USD failed to stay above the USD 8,000 level and recently corrected lower. An immediate support is at USD 7,800, below which the main weekly support is at USD 7,600. If there is a downside break below USD 7,600, the price could retest the USD 7,000 support.
On the upside, the main weekly resistances are at USD 8,000 and USD 8,220. If the bulls remain in action, there are high chances of a push above USD 8,300 in the near term.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price traded above the USD 260 level recently, but it failed to climb above USD 264 and USD 265. ETH/USD is currently correcting lower towards the USD 245 and USD 242 support levels.
If the price fails to stay above the USD 242 support, the next key weekly support is at USD 225. On the upside, there are many hurdles for the bulls near USD 255, USD 262 and USD 265.
