On December 30th, the Bitcoin price rebounded from the local support of $16300. Amid the recent new year recovery in the crypto market, the Bitcoin price has witnessed a steady recovery since last week.
The bullish recovery registered a 3.7% jump and challenged the overhead barrier of $17000-$16980. Thus, the aforementioned level has created a narrow range, and Bitcoin price has been trapped within it for the past three weeks.

However, today the BTC price is down 0.63% and shows the formation of an evening star candle pattern at $17000. This bearish reversal candle pattern appearing at a know resistance indicates a higher possibility for upcoming downfall.

Unlike Bitcoin, the Ethereum price shows higher bullish strength as it breached a significant resistance zone of $1220-$1230 on January 4th. However, the altcoin has been going through a minor pullback in the last two days and retested the breached resistance.
The Ethereum price currently trades at $1244 with an intraday loss of 0.56%. Thus, if the coin sustains above the $1230 mark, the buyers should drive the prices 8.5% higher to hit the $1350 barrier.

Conversely, if the crypto market remains uncertain, a daily candle closing below $1220 will undermine the bullish trap in crypto thesis and plunge the ETH price back to $1160.
