Bitcoin

In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin grew 1% to trade at $28,523 as of 07:00 ET. Its market dominance fell to 45.8% from 46.1%.

Shortly before 21:00 (ET) on Tuesday, Bitcoin spiked from $28,133 to as high as $28,732 – a retest of this resistance level was rejected once more, leading to a move lower.

Approximately an hour later, bulls broke through to get rejected at $28,780. BTC has since been ranging between $28,440 and $28,618.

Ethereum

Over the last 24 hours, Ethereum grew 4.4% to trade at $1,913 as of 07:00 ET. Its market dominance increased to 19.1% from 18.7%.

Ethereum followed a similar pattern to Bitcoin, spiking higher just before 21:00 (ET) yesterday to test the $1,926 level. A second rejection at this price led to a tight trading range between $1,905 and $1,918.

Nonetheless, ETH recorded a 33-week high – likely due to the upcoming Shanghai upgrade, which is scheduled for an April 12 rollout.
