BTC / USDT
The bears tried to dump Bitcoin again in the symmetrical triangle on July 23, but the bulls had other plans. A bounce off the breakout level of the triangle indicates that buyers are aggressively defending the level.

The gradually rising 20-day Exponential Moving Average ($21,865) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are in positive territory pointing to the buyers advantage.
If the bulls maintain the price above the 50-day SMA ($22,384), the BTC/USDT pair could rise to the upper resistance zone between $23,363 and $24276. A breakout and a close above this level could open the gates for a rally towards the pattern’s target at $28,171 and then $30K.
Conversely, if the price breaks below the 20-day EMA, the pair may decline to the next support level at $20,500.

This pair has formed a bearish wedge pattern on the 4 hour chart. If buyers push the price above the wedge, the pair could retest $24276. A breakout and a close above this level may indicate a resumption of the uptrend.
20-EMA is flat and the RSI is near its midpoint, indicating a balance between supply and demand. If the price drops and breaks below the 50-SMA, the pair may drop to the wedge support line.
ETH / USDT
Ether is facing heavy resistance at $1,700, but there is a positive sign that buyers have not given up much ground. Tight consolidation near general resistance increases the likelihood of a breakout above it.

The bullish 20-day EMA ($1,384) and the RSI are in positive territory, indicating that the bulls have the upper hand. If the buyers push the price above $1,700, bullish momentum could pick up and the ETH/USDT pair could rise to $2,000 followed by a rally to $2,200.
Contrary to this assumption, if the price drops from $1,700, the bears will attempt to pull the pair below the 20-day moving average. If they succeed, the pair could drop to $1,280. A bounce off this level may keep the pair stuck between $1280 and $1700 for a few days.

The pair bounced off the 50-SMA, indicating that the bulls are buying on the dips. Buyers will try to push the price to the general resistance at $1,700. Both the moving averages and the RSI are sloping up in the positive territory, indicating that the path of least resistance is to the upside.
If the bulls push the price above the resistance zone between $1,650 and $1,700, the momentum could pick up and the pair could resume its upward trend. To negate this positive opinion, the bears will have to sink the pair below $1450.
