Bitcoin price

After a strong surge above USD 40,000, bitcoin price was able to clear the USD 43,500 resistance zone and test the USD 44,500 resistance zone. The next major resistance is near the USD 45,000 level, above which the price could accelerate higher.

On the downside, an immediate support is near the USD 43,800 level. The next key support is now forming near the USD 43,500 level, below which the price could start a downside correction.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price also gained bullish momentum above the USD 3,000 level. ETH cleared the USD 3,120 resistance and is now trading near USD 3,150 while the immediate resistance is at USD 3,200. The next key resistance is near USD 3,250, where the bears could take a stand.

An initial support is near the USD 3,120 level. The next major support is near USD 3,020, below which there is a risk of a sharper decline.
