Ethereum, following Bitcoin’s lead, is effectively flatlining into the week’s close around $390. This is above critical support levels, though bulls are not yet convinced that ETH is primed to move higher. Analysts say that ETH could actually drop towards the $370 level, then push higher. Multiple analysts agree with this line of reasoning, citing a variety of technical reasons. Ethereum does have a positive fundamental case, though, that may limit downside. What may also limit the downside for the leading cryptocurrency is strength in the price of Bitcoin. Ethereum

Despite the parabolic performance in some altcoins, Bitcoin is stagnating around the high-$11,000s. As of the time of this article’s writing, BTC is trading for $11,600. This comes after it was rejected last week at the $12,000 level yet again, marking a loss for bulls. Analysts say that Bitcoin managing to hold the $11,500 level would bolster the medium-term bull case dramatically. One trader went as far as to say that the cryptocurrency closing the weekly candle at $11,500 could leave bears without much hope. He isn’t the first commentator

This purportedly lines up with important technical levels on Ethereum’s medium-term chart. Investors in ETH should watch Bitcoin and other markets for some

Bitcoin is facing risks of a price correction towards $10,000, according to a TradingView analyst.

Bitcoin’s efforts to log a breakout move above $12,000 may fail as selling sentiment grows near the said level. The benchmark cryptocurrency risks breaking lower after retesting the $12,000-mark, says a TradingView.com analyst
