The $BTC and $ETH market
We have had quite an exciting week here - Bitcoin has soared above the $60K mark, reaching an intraday high of $62,600 for the first time in six months. The uptick was driven by a statement on Bloomberg news last Friday that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would allow Bitcoin futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to begin trading this week. This may push Bitcoin total capitalisation above $2.5 trillion. Bitcoin is currently up about 11% in the past seven days, and its dominance over the alts stands above 46%. At the time of writing, $BTC is trading at $62,126.9, with $65K as its next major resistance level and $60K as its next key support level.
$ETH wise, the second largest cryptocurrency rallied 10% immediately after breaking its major resistance price area at $3,600. The current consolidation in the price range is between $3,600 and $3,900. From an ETH/BTC perspective, ETH continues to underperform against and the ETH/BTC pair remains within the range of 0.062 to 0.066. At the time of writing, $ETH is trading at $3,861.9 with $4,000 as its next major resistance level and $3,650 as its next key support level.
