On December 16th, the Bitcoin price gave a massive breakdown from the combined support of $16800 and a rising trendline. This breakdown poised BTC for a deeper correction phase if it shows sustainability below the $16800 mark.

Furthermore, the coin price has been sideways for the last four days trying to replenish the bearish momentum at the newly obtained resistance of $16800. Today, the Bitcoin price is 2.3% up and shows a retest to the mentioned barrier,

Therefore, if the selling pressure persists, the sellers will resume the prevailing and plunge the price below $16000 support into revisiting $16820.

Conversely, a daily candle closing below $16820 will weaken the bearish thesis.

Following the recent downfall, the Ethereum price managed to sustain above local support of $1160. Today, as the crypto market turned bullish for major cryptocurrencies, the ETH price rose 4% and reached the $1213 mark.

Furthermore, with sustained buying, this altcoin will retest the recently breached support of $1240-1220. However, this relief rally backed by lesser volume indicates this growth is temporary, and the ETH price soon resumes the prior downfall.

Thus, with a high possibility for Ethereum price to start a fresh decline from the $1240-$1220 mark, the coin holders may witness an 11% downfall to reach $1080.

Alternatively, a breakout above $1240 will undermine the bearish momentum.
