The post Bitcoin, Ethereum Price Prediction: Where BTC & ETH Could Be After US Elections! appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
With a bullish failure to sustain the early price to $73,600 last week, Bitcoin (BTC) closed at a 1.18% weekly return at a price of $68,738. The bearish turnaround resulted in a 0.64% decline in the total market and a 4% drop in altcoin market excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Starting the new week, the BTC price is above $69k as Ethereum struggles to hold the fort at $2,400. As the top two crypto maintain a diverging trend, let’s find out the weekly price prediction in our technical analysis.
Bitcoin (BTC) Rejects Price Below $68k
Following a bullish failure to surpass the $73,600 resistance level last week, the BTC price took a re-test of the $68,000 level. The BTC price is now below the 78.60% Fibonacci level and is currently trading at $68,607.
With a doji candle information, the possibility of a Morningstar reversal is shaping up. However, amid the rising uncertainties due to the U.S. presidential election, a potential re-test of the 67.80% Fibonacci level at $66,167 is possible.
While the daily RSI line shows no significant divergence, the 50-day EMA is rising towards the 67.80% Fibonacci level to provide dynamic support. Hence, despite the downside risk, the Bitcoin technical indicators project a high possibility of a bullish post-retest reversal.Â
After the elections, the BTC price is likely to gain momentum as you get more clarity over the presidential race. In such a case, the BTC price could rebound to the $73,600 mark in an attempt for a new all-time high.Â
Ethereum Test of Local Support Hangs near $2,400
The Ethereum price action shows a bearish turnaround from the 100-day EMA with a 5.39% fall last Thursday. This results in an evening sharp pattern and breaks below the 50-day EMA.
The current retest of the local support trend occurs near $2,461. This is putting additional pressure over the $2,400 critical support. However, the bullish divergence in the daily RSI line increases the possibility of a rebound rally.
With the 100-day acting as the dynamic resistance, the bullish attempt to reach the $2,729 resistance level could find an in-between surge in supply. Currently, the 100-day EMA stands at $2,645, making it an area of high supply.
If the BTC price manages to reclaim the $70,000 mark, the recovery run in Ethereum is likely to challenge the $2,729 near the 200-day EMA. In case of a bullish breakout, the 50% Fibonacci level at the $3,100 mark is a potential price target.
By the end of November, a recovery run could reach the $3,500 mark. On the flip side, if Ethereum breaks below the $2,400 mark, Ethereum could reach for $2,235.
