Over the last four days, the Bitcoin price trend witnessed a significant inflow and recorded 26.6% growth from the psychological support of $20000. The sudden rally entirely recovered the losses, witnessed the February-March correction, and brought the BTC price back to the $25000 mark.

However, the daily chart shows higher price rejection at this multimonth’s resistance threatening coin holders with another correction. Having said this, this rejection could indicate exhausted bullish momentum, and therefore the BTC price may consolidate to recuperate it.

A potential pullback may plunge the $23800 support to check price suitability at a higher level and replenish the bullish momentum. If the coin price is sustained above the aforementioned level, the buyers may get another opportunity to challenge the $25000 mark.

On a contrary note, a breakdown below $23800 could hint at a prolonged downfall in Bitcoin price.

The recent recovery in the Ethereum price seems to be a part of the continuation chart pattern called megaphone. This bull cycle with the pattern surged the ETH’s market value to a six-monthly high of the $1780 mark where it retested the overhead resistance trendline. 

However, the Ethereum price currently trades at $1633 and shows a bearish reversal candle pattern, evening star at the pattern’s resistance. In theory, a reversal from the upper trendline leads the price to the bottom support trendline.

Now that the potential trend for ETH price is set, a daily candle closing below the $1675 mark will encourage sellers to a bearish downfall to $1588 support. 

Anyhow, if the buyers manage to sustain above $1675 or $1588, the coin price may reattempt to breach the overhead trendline to encourage further growth.
