Top 3 Price Prediction Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum: BTC/USD stands at the gates of the bullish scenario above $8,150
|- The bullish scenario is not the most likely one in the short term.
- Cryptos are showing surprising strength despite very negative indicators.
- Ethereum may fall into a multi-weekly bullish mode.
Monday’s US session has witnessed the start of a new attempt by Bitcoin to escape the long-term bearish channel.
BTC/USD failed to reach the channel's ceiling which - at the moment - is slightly below $8,150. It appears that $8,000 is solid enough to refute King Crypto's bullish intention.
The MACD on the weekly ETH/USD chart stands out. The behavior pattern demands that Ethereum does better than Bitcoin for us to see a pure bull market, so this week and probably next week are critical and decisive for the medium and long term.
ETH/BTC Daily Chart
The ETH/BTC daily chart shows a healthy support level at 0.0319, while a strong confluence between the 0.031 and 0.0325 has blocked any bullish attempt.
This confluence awaits above the current price. It starts at 0.031(EMA50), receives another boost at 0.0316 (price congestion resistance) and as a formidable final reinforcement at 0.0321, the SMA100, SMA200, and the upper trend line of the bullish parallel structure that guides the pair. The second resistance level for the ETH/BTC cross is 0.0332 (price congestion resistance). The third resistance level is at 0.0337 (second parallel bullish line of the bullish parallel structure).
