Total market capitalization
Bitcoin price
After a massive drop, bitcoin price found support near USD 8,000 and recovered above USD 8,400. However, BTC/USD is facing a lot of hurdles near USD 8,500, USD 8,650 and USD 8,700. A successful close above USD 8,600 and a follow through above USD 8,800 is needed for a strong recovery.
If not, there are chances of another decline in bitcoin price below the USD 8,300 level. The key support is near the USD 8,000 level, below which the next target for sellers could be USD 7,650 or USD 7,500.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price is correcting higher from the USD 150 support area. ETH/USD climbed above USD 160 and USD 165, but it seems to be facing resistance near the USD 175 level. The key resistance area is near the USD 182 and USD 184 levels, above which the price could revisit USD 200.
If the price fails to recover above USD 175 or USD 182, it could start a fresh decrease. An immediate support is near the USD 165 level, below which the price might continue towards USD 154 in the near term.
