Bitcoin Price

Amid the recent recovery in the crypto market, the Bitcoin price gave a massive breakout from the local resistance of $16900. Following this jump, the price action went sideways for the next four days to sustain above the breached resistance.
However, this consolidation shaped into a double bottom pattern in the 4-hour time frame. Earlier today, the BTC price pierced the $17200 neckline resistance, offering additional confirmation for a further price rally.

The Bitcoin price currently trades at $17209 and tries to retest the breached neckline. Thus, with sustained buying, the prices may rise 7.5% higher to the $18500 mark.
Conversely, a 4-hour candle closing below the neckline will invalidate the bullish thesis.
Ethereum price

A parallel channel pattern is leading the ongoing recovery in the Ethereum price chart. The ascending trendline of the 4-hour chart pattern offers dynamic support to the rising prices.
However, in theory, this rising channel pattern often triggers a significant downfall upon the breakdown of the bottom support trendline. Furthermore, the current bull- cycle within this pattern struggles to surpass the last swing high of $1300.
Thus, the failure to break the $1300 resistance suggests the losing bearish momentum, which may bolster a breakdown of the lower trendline.

The altcoin currently trades at $1270 and is about to retest the support trendline. Thus, a 4-hour candle closing below the trendline will trigger this aforementioned pattern for a significant price correction.
Anyhow, the Ethereum bull run will continue until this pattern is intact.
