BTC/USD
Many traders were thrilled that Bitcoin returned to $44,000 for the first time after more than four days of absence. The price mark attained by the coin was especially one that many anticipated as the $45k resistance is next on the line to flip once the coin gains more leverage at $44k.
BTC saw the previously foretold gradual surge and hit $48k over the last 24 hours. The largest coin by market cap saw a change in its trends starting from the last day of the previous month. The week is about to end with the king coin gaining 10.3% since its beginning.
Bitcoin’s current price sees it steer clear of any attempt at $45k as it is trading above $48k. Fears of BTC dipping $40,000 have subsided as many traders are looking forward to more upswings. Nonetheless, recent price actions show the bears are trying to start a downtrend.
The above claim is evident as we see that crypto’s largest coin receded to the $47k region. in the likely event of a bearish takeover, the buyer will have to defend attacks against the $45,000 support or risk further price slip. The bulls are hopeful that the next upward drive will take bitcoin drive will take BTC above $50,000.

A recovery above to $3,000 from $2,900 sparked hopes of the current high. With the $3,000 support intact, we may expect more uptrend as ETH will pick up momentum as the market sentiment continue to favor the bulls.
With Ethereum above the 50-days MA ($3,295), the $3,200 mark is a short term support as it may be tested in comings and may flip, depending on the pressure of the attack. We may see ETH retest $3,600 soon.
ADA/USD
Cardano was on it way to trading below $2 in the early part of the week as the mark came under test twice. The coin picked up momentum three days to the time of writing and averted the looming danger.
The gradual surge resulted in the third-largest coin by market cap cushioning the effect of the price dip it suffered earlier. It is about to close the week at a 0.88% loss after hitting a high of $2.31 and low of $2.02.
The buyers may rally cardano as high as $2.4 in a bid to get above $2.5. Staying off bearish sentiment will help the coin fend off any attacks that may hit $2.2 as a result of small selloffs ADA may experience. We are about seeing a bullish interception on MACD that may trigger an increase in buying pressure.
