BTC Daily Chart Technical Analysis
Forecast
Bitcoin is forming a bottom as the fast stochastic and short-term MACD generate a crossover buy signal.
Analysis
Bitcoin prices rebounded from trend line support but were unable to recapture resistance near the 10-day moving average at 8,564. Additional resistance is seen near the 50-day moving average at 9,507. Support is seen near an upward sloping trend line seen near 7,650. Momentum has turned positive as the short-term MACD (moving average convergence divergence) index generated a crossover buy signal.

Down-side Target: 7,650
ETH/USD Daily Chart Technical Analysis
Forecast
Ethereum is forming a bull flag continuation pattern, which is a pause that refreshes higher, as it hovers near the 50-day moving average.
Analysis
Ethereum prices are consolidating and forming a bull flag continuation pattern which is a pause that refreshes higher. Prices are trading in a tight channel (blue dashed lines), and a break of resistance near the March highs at 559, would lead to higher prices and accelerating volume. Support is the bottom end of the channel at 515. Momentum is neutral as the RSI moves sideways printing a reading of 50, which is in the middle of the neutral range and reflects consolidation.
Up-side Target: 559
Down-side Target: 515

Analysis
