Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price even settled above the $8,700 pivot level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). Moreover, the price surged above the main $10,000 resistance area.
- A new monthly high was formed near $10,478 before the pair started a downside correction. Bitcoin declined below the $10,000 level, plus traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $7,335 low to $10,478 high.
- The price is now trading below the $9,300 support and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). However, there are a few key supports such as $9,000, $8,900, and $8,700.
- Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $7,335 low to $10,478 high is near the $8,900 level to provide support. More importantly, there is a contracting triangle forming with resistance near the $9,280 level.
- If there is an upside break above the $9,280 resistance and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours), the price could start a fresh increase towards $9,800 and $10,000.
Conversely, there might be a downside break below the $8,900 support. However, the $8,700 level is a strong support and the price is likely to find heavy bids. Any further losses may perhaps push bitcoin towards $8,535 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $7,335 low to $10,478 high.
Ethereum Price Analysis

- Moreover, there was a close below the $188.00 level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). The last swing high was near $193.67 before the price declined towards the $178.27 level.
- At the moment, Ethereum is correcting higher above the $181.00 level. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $193.67 high to $178.27 low.
- On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $185.00 level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $193.67 high to $178.27 low is likely to act as a strong resistance.
- Additionally, there is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near the $190.00 level on the same chart. If there is an upside break above $185.00 and $190.00, the price could start anther increase in the near term.
On the other hand, the $178.00 area is a major support. If there is a downside break below the $178.00 support, Ethereum could correct lower towards the $174.50 support. The next main support is near the $168.00 level.

- However, the $0.2900 support area is acting as a strong buy zone. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major wave from the $0.2660 swing low to $0.3151 high is providing support.
- If there are more losses, the price could test the $0.2850 support area. It coincides with the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last major wave from the $0.2660 swing low to $0.3151 high.
- Any further losses might push the price towards the $0.2810 and $0.2770 support levels. On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $0.2960 level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours).
- Moreover, there is a crucial bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.3000 on the same chart. Therefore, an upside break above $0.2960 and $0.3000 might set the pace for a fresh upward move in the coming sessions.
In the mentioned bullish case, the next stop for ripple bulls may perhaps be near the $0.3120 and $0.3150 levels.

- However, there are many key supports on the downside near the $0.0688 and $0.0675 levels. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.0623 low to $0.0733 high is likely to provide support near $0.0758.
- More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near the $0.0665 on the same chart. Therefore, a downside break below $0.0665 might push the price back into a bearish zone.
If not, there are chances of a fresh increase above $0.0715. The main hurdles above $0.0715 for stellar price is near the $0.0735 and $0.0750 levels, above which it could trade towards the $0.0800 level.
