Ethereum drops below the $1K mark~

Since Saturday, ETH dropped below the $1K mark, now trading at triple digits as the ongoing crypto crash sustains.

Bitcoin Market Analysis

  • For the past week, Bitcoin faced the wrath of bears as it slipped below the crucial psychological mark of $20K. It has registered a new 52-week low of around $17,500 on the charts, a figure that wasn’t imagined by anyone.
     
  • However, there has been a positive bounce-back since then. We are witnessing a potential bullish crossover in the MACD which could possibly hint at more positive momentum ahead. The price level is also looking to develop sustainability above MA-10.
     
  • On the contrary, if we face profit booking momentum again, support levels can be placed at $20K and $18K. However, if the ongoing positive momentum is sustained, the world’s largest cryptocurrency can face resistance at $22K and $24K respectively.
