Ethereum:-

Ethereum price was able to hold above $2,000, sabotaging the bearish outlook toward $1,800. As mentioned, the weekend session was drab, but bulls took completely took control over the price on Monday during the Asian session.

At the time of writing, Ethereum trades at $2,160 while holding onto key support highlighted at the 100 Simple Moving Average (SMA). A break above the confluence resistance formed at $2,200 by the 200 SMA and the 50 SMA will validate the much-anticipated recovery toward $2,400.

The bullish signals emanating from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator on the four-hour chart are worth noting. The odds for an upswing increased when the 12-day EMA crossed above the 26-day EMA. A MACD line’s crossing into the positive region will add credence to the bullish outlook.

Cardano:-

Cardano price has closed the last week above $1.3, ensuring the calls for losses under $1 were nullified. Bulls later took action, pushing the price above $0.35. However, immense seller congestion continues to limit gains eyeing $1.4.

Nevertheless, a vivid Bollinger Band Squeeze shows that Cardano is nearing a significant breakout. The region between the upper and lower band is relatively a no-trade zone. Therefore, a four-hour close above or below this region will determine the breakout direction.
