Nevertheless, Bitcoin price remains broadly in an uptrend and could head higher as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests bulls still have control. Its position at 60 points to a strong momentum, bolstered by the trajectory of the Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) that show upward is the path with the least resistance. Also, the Awesome Oscillator (AO) is still in positive territory, adding credence to the bullish thesis.

If the bulls can add to their buying power, Bitcoin price could extend past the $38,000 psychological level before overcoming the range high of $38,450 and tag the $40,000 psychological level.

On the other hand, if sellers overpower the bulls, Bitcoin price could drop toward the $35,935 support level or even test the 50-day SMA at $34,317. Failure of this buyer congestion level to hold could see BTC descend to the $32,000 level.

Conversely, if selling pressure increases, Ethereum price could lose $2,029 support, falling deep into the midline at $1,935. A break and close below this level would confirm the continuation of the downtrend, with ETH likely to test the confluence between the 50-day SMA and the lower boundary of the order block at $1,862.
