Bitcoin and Ethereum – Weekly Technical Analysis – November 9th, 2020

Bitcoin

Bitcoin rallied by 12.69% in the week ending 8^th November. Following on from a 5.52% gain from the week prior, Bitcoin ended the week at $15,500.0.

It was a bearish start to the week. Bitcoin fell to a Monday intraweek low $13,207.0 before making a move.

Steering clear of the first major support level at $13,006, Bitcoin rallied to a Friday intraweek high $15,888.0.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $14,280 and the second major resistance level at $14,805.

Falling short of $16,000 levels, Bitcoin slid back to sub-$14,500 levels on Saturday before a bullish end to the week.

A Sunday recovery saw Bitcoin break back through the second major resistance level to wrap up the week at $15,500 levels.

5 days in the green that included a 10.03% rally on Friday and a 4.41% rally on Sunday delivered the upside for the week. A 4.67% slide on Saturday limited some up the upside for the week, however.

For the week ahead

Bitcoin would need to avoid a fall through the $14,865 pivot to support a run the first major resistance level at $16,523.

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break out from last week’s $15,888.0 high.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level would likely cap any upside.

In the event of another breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $17,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $17,546.

Failure to avoid a fall through the $14,865 pivot would bring the first major support level at $13,842 into play.

Barring an extended sell-off, however, Bitcoin should steer clear of sub-$13,500 support levels. The second major support level sits at $12,184.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 0.11% to $15,517.0. A mixed start to the week saw Bitcoin fall to an early Monday morning low $15,424.0 before striking a high $15,608.0.

Bitcoin left the major support and resistance levels untested at the start of the week.

Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ethereum to break out from last week’s $468.98 high.

Barring another extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and resistance at $500 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of a breakout, Ethereum could test the second major resistance level at $530 before any pullback. The 62% FIB of $543 would likely cap any upside, however.
