As we discussed in our previous Bitcoin price prediction, the BTC/USD pair has broken through the symmetrical triangle pattern that had been extending strong support near $19,300. Furthermore, Bitcoin closed a couple of red candles outside of the symmetrical triangle, confirming the breakout pattern. However, Bitcoin has risen above the $18,990 support level. 

On the upside, Bitcoin may struggle to break through the $19,300 support level to become a resistance level. If BTC fails to break through this level, the price will almost certainly fall. Thus, keep an eye on $19,300; above this level, buying can be seen until $19,500 or $19,940.

The RSI and MACD remain in a selling zone, supporting investors’ bearish bias. Alongside, the 50-day moving average is also supporting a downtrend. 

If BTC falls below $19,250, it may return to the previous triple-bottom support near $18,900. A second breach could send BTC to $18,700. On the upside, resistance is still located near $19,450. If the price exceeds $19,650, investors will likely consider buying until $19,950. 

Ethereum Price 

The current price of Ethereum is $1,291, with a 24-hour trading volume of $8.7 billion. In the last 24 hours, Ethereum has plunged over 1%. CoinMarketCap now ranks #2, with a live market cap of $157 billion.

On the technical front, the ETH/USD pair has broken through an ascending triangle pattern on the lower side. It provided immediate support for nearly $1,292. However, after falling to $1,273, the double bottom area, Ethereum began to rise. The 50-day moving average is now likely to provide additional resistance near the $1,306 level.

New Crypto Presales

Along with leading coins, the coins on presale have enormous potential. One of these is IMPT, which is making headlines due to strong presale progress.
