Bitcoin

Since last week, the Bitcoin price has been resonating in a range-bound rally stretching from $25100 to $23500. The coin price has retested both these levels twice indicating the traders are actively responding to these levels.

At the press time, the BTC price traded at the $24062 mark and showed a bullish reversal sign at the $23500 range support. This potential reversal could encourage a prolonged consolidation phase and push the prices back to the $25100 mark.

Thus, the traders looking for an entry should wait for breakout opportunities beyond the aforementioned level. With a higher possibility, a daily candle closing above $25000 will signal the resumption of the bullish trend. 

Conversely, a breakdown below $23500 may encourage a bearish correction phase.

Ethereum

In the daily time frame chart, the Ethereum price wobbling between two diverging trend lines indicates the formation of a megaphone pattern. This continuation pattern usually occurs when the assets have high volatility and indecisiveness from market participants.

On February 21st, the coin price reverted from the pattern’s resistance trendline and plunged 3.5% down to its current price of $1651. Thus, if the selling pressure in the market persists, the ETH price may witness a potential down to $1500 or lower support trendline.

This chart will be completed when the price breaks out from either of the divergence trendlines. Considering the higher possibility, a bullish breakout from the overhead trendline could set the ETH price to the $1865 or $2000 mark.
