All regulation issues sparked a major downside move in bitcoin and altcoins this past month. Later, buyers took a stand and a recovery was initiated. Bitcoin price closed February above the USD 10,000 level, which is a positive sign. Similarly, Ethereum is positioned nicely above the USD 800 pivot level.

Later, the price recovered and settled above the USD 8,000 pivot level. More importantly, the price closed above the USD 10,000 level and opened March with a positive note.
Monthly resistances are at USD 11,000 and 11,800. If there is a break above the USD 11,800 resistance, the next major stop could be USD 12,500.
Ethereum
Ethereum also followed bitcoin and declined this past month by more than 25%. ETH/USD traded close to the USD 550 support before forming a base.
Ether buyers were successful in pushing the price back above USD 850. However, the price is currently struggling to break the USD 900 resistance. The mentioned level is a crucial resistance, and a break above USD 900 could open the gates for a test of USD 1,000 this month.
