- Bitcoin price continues to reaffirm its upside potential, but it seems poised for further lows.
- Ethereum price appears to be highly correlated to Bitcoin as it looks primed for a pullback before $800.
The correlation in Bitcoin and Ethereum price has been maintained over the past few weeks as both have recorded 7% and 11% loss respectively in the last seven days. A significant movement of the former in either direction has always been replicated by the latter.
Bitcoin price to pull back before new all-time highs
The appearance of higher lows on Bitcoin’s long-term price chart continues to signal a bullish trend but first, a possible further downward move cannot be overlooked.
After failing to reclaim its previous all-time high of $19,000, Bitcoin now sits at $18,030. One critical zone which stands out on the weekly chart is $16,200. This could form a significant support level as the price broke above the line and retested before making a run for its former highs. A potential pullback to this point may see sufficient buy pressure to sustain it, thereby warding away the bears.

Slicing through this potential support may open the gateway for lower prices as investors could expect to see the flagship cryptocurrency plummet to $13,500. A decline in these price levels could present a perfect buying opportunity for market participants. It might make another bounce off on the 21-day moving average, which it seems to respect as shown on September 28.
Ethereum price trend keeps signaling a potential upswing
The weekly chart continues to suggest that Ethereum’s bullish case still holds from a macro standpoint. A key supply zone to look out for is $618. The formation of new higher highs and higher lows has sent prices back up to this key level which has now become a strong hurdle for the smart contract token to surpass.

Multiple rejections seen at this line from November 23 to date have sent Ethereum price to where it trades at $549. Market participants should expect an extension of this healthy correction as a pullback to $418 should provide sufficient momentum for an upthrust to $800.
