Crypto Price Analysis & Overview June 18th: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, & Solana

The last week was rather challenging for altcoins as most of the major ones are trading in the red. Bitcoin managed to pull ahead a bit, which also resulted in an increase in its market dominance.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is up by a very small 2.8% over the past week as it currently trades at $37,900 – just above the 20-day MA.

The coin had provided some hope at the start of the week as it surged above $37,000 to break a falling trend line that has been in play since the mid-May market crash. After surpassing this trend line, it surged higher above $40,000 but failed to overcome resistance at $40,765 (bearish .382 Fib) and rolled over.

Since rolling over, BTC has dropped back beneath $40,000 over the past four days and recently founds support at the 20-day MA today at around $37,000.

On the short-term 4HR chart, BTC is currently trading inside a rising wedge formation but is battling to remain above the lower boundary of the wedge.

Looking ahead, if the buyers can rebound from the bottom of the wedge, the first resistance lies at $38,430. This is followed by $39,00, $39,490 (early-June highs), $40,000, and $40,763 (bearish .382 Fib). Added resistance lies at $42,000 (upper boundary of the wedge) and $43,000 (200-day & 50-day MA).

On the other side, the first support lies at $37,000 (20-day MA & lower boundary of the wedge). Beneath this, support lies at $36,750 (.786 Fib), $36,000, $34,760 (downside 1.414 Fib Extension), $34,000, $33,520, and $32,,465.
