“Bitcoin has formed the channel pattern on a weekly timeframe. It is currently trading near the lower trendline of the channel which makes the risk-reward favourable for the new Investors. The support is expected at $35,000 level towards the lower trendline and resistance is expected at $110,000 towards the upper trendline. In the past cycles, EMA 21 on a weekly time frame was one of the crucial indicators to predict the trend of the crypto markets. If Bitcoin sustains above the 21 day EMA on a weekly time frame, we would see Ether to outperform Bitcoin and make new highs. Some of the interesting infrastructure projects catering to smart contracts like Cardano, Solana, Avalanche and EOS could outperform Bitcoin in the coming week,” Siddharth Menon, COO WazirX said.

“The heavyweights in the crypto market saw consolidation kicking in. Both Bitcoin and Ether forming Doji candles on the daily timeframe price chart. It indicated that the market did not have a clear direction of the momentum. Following the consolidation among the leading cryptos, some Altcoins, which appeared to be on steroids after BTC touched $50k, lost their momentum and were sold off. However, Ethereum’s closest competitor in terms of usability, Solana, had another fantastic session. After a relatively slow weekend, SOL picked up the pace and shot up more than 12 per cent. The traded volume in SOL was the third highest after BTC and ETH. It shows that investors are still pretty bullish on Solana. The global crypto market cap surpassed $2.35 trillion as the total traded volume across exchanges shot up more than 17 per cent,” Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder, Mudrex- A Global Crypto Trading Platform.
