Historically, Whenever BTC closes a weekly candle above the 50 weekly moving average it confirms that bitcoin has hit the bottom and the trend has been revered.
$25300 will work as strong Support for bitcoin in the coming days whereas the first major resistance for bitcoin is at $31800. Traders may book some profit at this price point. However, if bitcoin closes a week above $31800 the rally will continue toward $47000.
Bitcoin has successfully broken out the neckline of the inverted Head & Shoulder that is targeting $47000, we noticed this pattern and updated on our website earlier last month.
According to the data from alternative dot me, the crypto fear & greed index that was neutral last week has turned into greed which means traders are bullish now. We can see some corrections any time in the coming days as RSI is showing an overbought situation for the BTC on the 4-HOUR Time frame.
Crypto Total Market Capitalization
The crypto total market capitalization came below $1 Trillion earlier this month, and is $1.14 trillion as of now, marking this the highest crypto market cap of the current year.
Unfortunately, the crypto total market was unable to close above the weekly resistance that it is facing near $1.15 trillion. This is the point of concern for some traders before going full into the market. But. The positive side is that the crypto total has also been above the 50 weekly moving average.
The crypto total market cap is expected to retrace at $1.07 trillion in the coming if it breaks above $1.15 trillion.
Ethereum (ETH) Price Analysis
Ethereum, the second largest crypto by market cap has also broken above the weekly resistance of $1770. According to the data from Tradingview, ETH is hovering at around $1755 at the time of writing.
Fortunately, ETH comes above the major weekly resistance but unfortunately, the breakout is looking weak. Unlike the BTC breakout, ETH’s breakout is lacking volume that will sustain the prices at higher levels.
For this reason, ETH will grow as the BTC price will rise but will not outperform BTC as it has been doing historically.
If ETH successfully holds above $1770 for a few days the next target will be $2000 and the major support for ETH will remain at $1560.
ETH/BTC
Ethereum in the BTC pair is bleeding as bitcoin dominance is rising, it’s a normal function of the market when BTC’s prices rise the BTC dominance rises along with it. And other cryptocurrencies lose their value against BTC.

A bug volume bar after a prolonged bearish period indicates that the bulls are taking charge now. It is also a signal for the trend reversal.
The bullish crossover has happened in the major moving averages but temporarily index is below the 20-50 weekly MAs.
However, the traders are waiting for the last confirmation about the proper trend reversal. This confirmation will happen when the index will close a few weeks in the line above the 20 weekly MA.
Till that time 3800 points will remain a major support zone for S&P500.
