The $BTC and $ETH market
The recovery in crypto markets continues as $BTC soared above $24K. After ending July in the green, the first positive month since February, $BTC started to retrace slightly and dropped from $24K to under $22,500 in a matter of days. The aforementioned low came on August 4, but the asset bounced off rather quickly and returned to $23K. It calmed there and spent the next few days around that level without any significant moves in either direction. After the relatively dull weekend, $BTC finally went on the offensive and jumped to a daily high of $24,250. At the time of writing, $BTC is trading at $22,884.67 with $24K as its next major resistance level and $20K as its next key support level.
$ETH wise, the second-largest cryptocurrency spiked to a 2-month high. After a significant rally, Ethereum seems to have found a local top above $1,700, which has so far acted as strong resistance. The price did not manage to move beyond this level and fell by 3.4% in the past seven days. The key support is found at $1,400. Despite the ongoing pullback, Ethereum still managed a very strong performance since the bottom in June. Even if the price falls to the key support, the expectation is that buyers will return to the market and attempt a breakout beyond $1,700. The key support at $1,400 can act as a reversal point to trigger the next leg up for the cryptocurrency. At the time of writing, $ETH is trading at $1,676.28 with $1,700 as its next major resistance level and $1,400 as its next key support level.
