Bitcoin price
After a major downside break below USD 40,000, bitcoin price started a strong decline. BTC dropped over 25% and it even tested the USD 30,000 zone, before recovering above the USD 39,000 level. However, the bulls are facing many important barriers at this level and USD 40,000.
A successful close above USD 40,000 is needed for upside continuation. If not, the price might start a fresh decline towards the USD 32,000 support or even USD 30,000.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price also followed a similar pattern and it collapsed below the USD 3,000 support. ETH even broke the USD 2,200 and USD 2,000 levels. The price is recovering and trading above USD 2,350. An immediate resistance is near the USD 2,650 level.
The first major resistance is near USD 2,800, followed by USD 3,000. If there is no recovery above USD 2,800, the price might decline towards the USD 2,000 support.
