This Tuesday we’re beginning our price analyses as always with Bitcoin and today we’re starting with the BTC/USD 1D chart from BTC-XLM. BTC’s price is trading between the 0 fibonacci level [$18,389.54] and 1.618 [$30,737.91], at the time of writing.

The chartist below posits that BTC’s price is looking bullish and about to break out to the upside. If that breakout occurs the targets above for bullish BTC market participants are the 1.618 fib level followed by 2.618 [$38,369.78] on the daily time frame. 

At variance with bullish market participants are those still shorting the Bitcoin market. They’ve targets below of a full retracement at the 0 fibonacci level followed by a retest of BTC’s 12-month low at $17,611 if they’re successful at cracking the 0 fib level to the downside.

Cardano Analysis

Cardano’s price made a fresh 12-month low on Saturday but has since followed that up with two consecutive positive daily sessions. On Monday, ADA’s price closed the day +$0.0021. 

The final chart for analysis today is the ADA/USD 1D chart by XBTFX. Cardano’s price found support at the $0.4 level and was propped up there for multiple weeks until sellers were able to push the price below that threshold over the last week.

ADA’s price despite being oversold continues to look for a price reversal from bullish market participants that could test overhead resistance at the $0.4 level if bidders step-up. 

Bearish traders of the ADA market are hoping to send ADA’s price below a new support level at $0.35 and then wish to make another fresh 12-month low.
