Bitcoin price

Recently, bitcoin price corrected lower from the USD 18,800 resistance zone. However, BTC remained well supported near the USD 18,000 level. The next major weekly support seems to be forming near the USD 17,500 level. Any further losses could spark a medium-term downside correction.
On the upside, the price is facing a few major hurdles, starting with USD 18,650. The first major resistance is near USD 18,750, followed by USD 18,800. A clear break above the USD 18,800 weekly resistance may possibly open the doors for a push towards USD 19,200 or even USD 19,500.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price broke the USD 500 barrier and started a strong surge. ETH broke the USD 550 and USD 565 resistance levels to move further into an uptrend. It tested the USD 585 level and it is currently consolidating gains.
