Today, one should watch the further movement of the pair. If the bulls can continue the recovery toward $45,000, then a retest of the resistance at $46,000 can be expected this week.

If the bears break through the level of average prices and do not allow the pair to gain a foothold above the $42.447 level for a long time, then the market decline will not be over yet and the decline can continue below the psychological mark of $40,000.

Bitcoin is trading at $43,912 at press time.

ETH/USD

Yesterday afternoon, the Ethereum (ETH) price broke through the resistance of the EMA55 moving average and, by this morning, it has consolidated in a narrow consolidation around the $3,335 mark.

If, today, the bulls continue to rise above the resistance of $3,400, then one can consider the possibility of further growth in the area of $3,800.

If the pair is unable to overcome the resistance level, then it is too early to talk about a reversal.

Ethereum is trading at $3,372 at press time.
