The drop that we saw continues, and now the prices have entered a consolidation channel above the $29,000 handle in the European trading session.

If we see some buying at these levels, the prices will continue to remain above them in the short-term range. But in the medium-term range, we are expecting a further drop due to weak global demand cues.

We can clearly see a triple-top pattern below the $30б775 handle which is a bearish reversal pattern because it signifies the end of an uptrend and a shift towards a downtrend.

Both the STOCH and STOCHRSI are indicating overbought levels which means that in the immediate short term, a decline in the prices is expected.

The relative strength index is at 40 indicating a WEAK demand for bitcoin at the current market levels.

Bitcoin is now moving below its 100 and 200 hourly simple MAs.

Most of the major technical indicators are giving a SELL signal, which means that in the immediate short term, we are expecting targets of 28,000 and 27,500.

The average true range is indicating LESS market volatility with a mild bearish momentum.

Bitcoin: Bearish Reversal Seen Below $30,775



Bitcoin continues to move in a consolidation channel above the $29,000 handle in the European trading session today. We can see the formation of a demand zone above it, but the global risk scenarios may enable further decline in the prices this week.

The immediate short-term outlook for bitcoin is mildly bearish; the medium-term outlook has turned neutral; and the long-term outlook remains neutral under present market conditions.

Bitcoin continues to consolidate above its important support level of $29,000, and with increasing demand zone formation the immediate target is $30,500.

The price of BTCUSD is now facing its classic support level of 28,819 and Fibonacci support level of 29,135, after which the path towards 28,000 will get cleared.

The daily RSI is printing at 37 which means that the medium range demand continues to be weak.

We are now expecting a range-bound movement between $28,000 and $32,000 next week.

Ethereum was unable to sustain its bullish momentum last week, and after touching a high of 2,084 on 23rd May started to decline heavily against the US dollar.

The price of Ethereum may continue to decline further against the US dollar due to the global risk scenario and the flight towards the safe haven assets like the US Dollar and GOLD.

The key resistance levels to watch are $1,941 and $2,260, and the price of ETHUSD needs to cross these levels for a potential Bullish reversal.

ETH has declined by 6.91% with a price change of 136$ in the past 24hrs, and has a trading volume of 15.808 Billion USD.

We can see an Increase of 13.21% in the total trading volume in the last 24 hrs which appears to be normal.
