This recent market correction raises questions about the sustainability of the current uptrend. Is this merely a corrective pullback, or could it be the onset of a prolonged downtrend? The technical charts offer insights and potential signals that suggest the next phase of price action.
Bitcoin’s Price Action: Testing Range Highs and Trend Anchors
According to technical analysis shared by TraderMercury on the social media platform X, Bitcoin is currently undergoing a bounce from previous range highs and aligning with the 12-hour 200-period moving averages. This convergence creates a pivotal zone where resistance meets the moving averages, potentially containing the correction if buyers step in. However, a lack of buyer support could lead to further declines.
While there is short-term buyer interest in this region, TraderMercury describes the higher-timeframe outlook as “dauntingly boring and choppy.” This indicates Bitcoin’s price is oscillating without clear directional momentum on mid-to-high timeframes. Any breakout could reveal the next direction of momentum.
A significant concern is if Bitcoin’s price retreats back into the previous 8-month range below $108,000, signaling a failed breakout and possibly returning to range-bound dynamics. The more optimistic scenario would be a move away from that range. Until then, the 12-hour and daily moving averages, along with horizontal pivots around $108,000 to $111,000, are critical zones to watch.
Ethereum’s Perspective: Favorable Context on Higher Timeframes
Despite Ethereum breaking below the $4,000 level, it has remained above a four-year range. However, the recent downtrend resulted in losing the 200-period moving average on the 4-hour chart, an occurrence seen only once in the past five months according to TraderMercury.
Nevertheless, this weakness does not necessarily suggest a bearish narrative. Earlier in the year, Ethereum’s price action similarly lost this trend but later formed a higher low on the weekly chart, eventually reaching new highs. The market becomes risky for Ethereum only if it falls below $3,900, a critical threshold identified by TraderMercury.
For Ethereum to signal a bullish reversal, reclaiming significant moving averages on daily to weekly timeframes is essential. If Ethereum holds above $3,900 and re-engages with multi-month moving averages, a bounce is possible. Failure to do so could see support around $3,600 coming into play.
As of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at $109,600, and Ethereum is valued at $3,940.
