Crypto Trends for the Weekend. BTC and ETH Analysis for 22/09/2 2

Bitcoin has attempted to stabilize above the $27,000 level three times, but all have been futile. Currently, the asset is fluctuating between the support level of $26,400 and the resistance zone of $27,200-$27,500. Should the correction continue, the coin may approach the support zone of $26,000-$26,200 and may further descend to the range of $25,400-$25,750.

To escape the local downward trend, BTC must traverse the current sellers’ zone ($27,200-$27,500) and consolidate above the subsequent one, which lies between the price levels of $27,750-$28,200.

Over the weekend, slight volatility is expected, with BTC likely moving within the bounds set by the buyer's level at $26,400 and the intermediate seller's level at $26,900.

While the correlation between Ethereum and BTC continues to be strong, the ETH chart is exhibiting somewhat higher volatility. ETH was unable to surpass the resistance zone between $1,660-$1,680 and subsequently fell by 5%, landing in the buyer's zone between $1,557 and $1,582.

At present, ETH is trading within the current support and resistance zone of $1,610-$1,625. If buyers do not show strength soon, Ethereum might test the $1,531 level again and set a new local low.

To alter the local trend from descending to ascending, ETH must break through multiple seller zones and establish itself above the $1,750 level. Until that occurs, further decline remains the most probable scenario.

Typically, financial markets exhibit minimal activity over the weekends, so lower volatility is expected in cryptocurrency charts on Saturday and Sunday.
