BTC Drops to September Levels, Long-term Consolidation on the Cards?
A sudden crash on December 4 saw BTC drop to $42,000, a 22% fall that has since seen a decent recovery as the biggest crypto by market cap trades at $49,000 at the time of writing. With this drop, BTC erased gains made in October and November, striking panic into retail traders’ hearts.
Over a period of 24 hours, over $2.5 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated. However, that’s a positive as analysts and experts now believe this would give BTC a chance to stabilize and consolidate, possibly forming a bottom at $42,000. $50,000 is now the major level of resistance and as long as Bitcoin doesn’t drop below $40,000 and flip it to resistance, the bull run is very much still in progress. It’ll be interesting to see how BTC moves in coming sessions.

ETH/BTC Pair Nears All-time High, Analysts Bullish
Last week, ETH didn’t drop as much as BTC, and much positivity came in the form of the ETH/BTC pair which reached its three-year high and nears its all-time high. As we can see on the weekly chart above, the pair had been trading in a channel since May and now, ETH/BTC has broken out, forming a massively positive weekly close.
The ETH/BTC price rally reflects deep interest in the Ethereum project with Eth2 on the horizon and the network becoming a core asset within burgeoning sectors like NFTs, DeFi, and the Metaverse. Many organizations in these spaces use Ether smart contracts for their operations, further increasing demand for the coin. The outlook for ETH looks overwhelmingly positive going forward.
