Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
After testing the USD 3,900 support, bitcoin price rebounded above the USD 3,950 and USD 3,980 resistance levels. BTC is currently trading in a range near USD 4,000, with an immediate resistance at USD 4,020 and USD 4,025. If there is an upside break, the price could break the USD 4,070 weekly resistance. The next stop for buyers could be USD 4,200.
On the other hand, if the price fails to climb above USD 4,020, there could be a fresh decline below USD 3,980 and USD 3,950. The main weekly support is near USD 3,900, below which the price may move back in a bearish zone.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price recovered after testing the USD 132 support level. ETH is currently trading above the USD 135 level, but there are many weekly barriers near USD 137 and USD 138.
However, the crucial hurdle is at USD 140, above which the price could rally significantly. On the downside, an immediate support is at USD 135. If there is a downside break, there is a risk of more losses below the USD 132 weekly support.
