After a clear break above USD 56,000, bitcoin price extended its increase. BTC broke the USD 56,500 resistance and the USD 57,200 pivot level. The upward move was such that the price traded close to the USD 58,000 level. Recently, there was a downside correction below the USD 57,200 and USD 57,000 levels.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price failed to settle above the USD 3,600 level and started a downside correction. ETH is now trading below the USD 3,500 support. The first major support is near the USD 3,440 level. Any more losses could open the doors for a larger decline towards USD 3,350.

If there is a fresh increase, the price might face resistance near the USD 3,540 level. The next major hurdle seems to be forming near USD 3,600, above which the price might struggle near USD 3,650.
