While the market shows a bearish outlook, the Internet Computer and BitDAO token is one of the few from the top 100 cryptocurrencies that have gained in the last 24 hours. Thus, the ICP price trades at $3.92 with an intraday gain of 1.41%, whereas the BIT price trades at $0.2828, gaining 0.72%.

Over the past two months, the Bitcoin price has been wobbling between $16900 and $16200. The multiple short-body candles with long wicks on both sides indicate the market’s participant struggles with indecisiveness.

Thus, Bitcoin price can be considered to be trading in a narrow range, whose breakout will release a directional rally. Moreover, with the increasing uncertainty in the market, traders should avoid entering while this no-trading zone is intact.

Thus, a possible bullish breakout from $16900 will accelerate the bullish momentum and surge the prices to the $18400 mark.

Conversely, a daily candle closing below $16200 may prolong the bearish fall to $15600.

Ethereum

Similar to Bitcoin, the Ethereum price has resonated between the $1230 and $1160 levels for the past two weeks. During this consolidation, the price showcased multiple attempts to breach the overhead resistance but failed to sustain higher prices.

Thus, either side breakout from this range will bring a sustained rally in this coin price. However, on December 27th, the ETH price turned down from the $1230 resistance and tumbled 3.5% in the last two days.

If the selling pressure persists, the price will try to pierce the local support of $1160.

Anyways, a parallel channel pattern is currently governing the ongoing downtrend in Ethereum price.
