Bitcoin Analysis 

Bitcoin’s price increased marginally on Monday and concluded its daily candle +$57.6.  

Today we’re beginning our price analyses with the BTC/USD 4HR chart below by AlanSantana. BTC’s price has been consolidating for its next move regardless of direction for many weeks now and its price is trading below the 0.236 fibonacci level [$16,946.5], at the time of writing.

From the perspective of bearish traders that still want to short BTC’s price despite being -75.8% from it’s all-time high [$69,044] and -64.61% for the last 12 months, their primary aim is a retest of Bitcoin’s multi-year low of $15,505.

Crypto: Polkadot price analysis

Polkadot’s price was the top performer of the lot covered today by percentage and finished its daily session +$0.116. 

The DOT/USDT 1W chart from pejman_zwin shows that via this interpretation Polkadot’s price is at a heavy support zone. That zone ranges from the $3.54 level to the $4.36 level. 

Conversely, overhead resistance for bullish market participants ranges from the $10.16 level to the $12.61 level. 

The chartist believes there could be one more leg down before a 200% move to the upside to see the aforementioned overhead range.
