Crypto Takes a Weekend Break. BTC and ETH Analysis for 25/08/23

Buyers made an effort to break through the resistance level of $26,500-$27,000 but didn't succeed, causing BTC to fall back to its immediate support level. Currently, the asset is trading within the buyers' zone of $25,800-$26,000. Further down, we find support areas at $25,000-$25,350 and $25,500, where one could anticipate a potential bullish rebound.  

For Bitcoin to start a rising trend, it needs to confidently breach the $26,600-$27,000 and $27,500-$28,100 resistance areas. Following that, the next target would be the $28,600 mark. Until we see these movements, it seems more strategic to lean towards short positions.

Ethereum mirrors BTC's performance closely. It's currently positioned within the $1,631-$1,650 support range. Just below this range, there's a gathering of buy orders between $1,583-$1,605 and a notable stand at the $1,550 mark, marking the local low.

On the selling front, imminent limit orders are primarily set in the $1,685-$1,705 range. Venturing further up, resistance looms at $1,750, and then within the $1,790-$1,850 span. Given the continued strong correlation between ETH and BTC, anyone looking into ETH trading moves should also evaluate Bitcoin's chart dynamics.

Weekends typically see a more stable cryptocurrency market with limited volatility, and we anticipate a similar pattern this time.
