At the end of the week, the bears tried to swing the price and knock the pair out of the sideways range, but tonight the price returned to the range and approached the monthly maximum zone in the morning.

If buyers can continue to rise, then during the day the pair can test the 100% Fibonacci level, and a strong bullish momentum might be able to renew the all-time high around the $66,000 mark.

Bitcoin is trading at $62,044 at press time.

ETH/USD

On Saturday, the price of Ethereum (ETH) approached the psychological level of $4,000, renewing the monthly high at $ 3,971.

Ethereum is trading at $3,762 at press time.

At the end of last week, the XRP price was in a sideways range with support in the four-hour EMA55 area.
