After a failed test of $25,000 in the middle of last month, Bitcoin has dropped to $20,000. It has been in a tight trading range of $20,500 to $19,500 since August 27.

Ethereum found support at $1500. At press time, it’s trading at $1,600 pending a Bellatrix hard fork that will prepare the network for The Merge upgrade.

What to expect from the market this week? We analyze Bitcoin and Ethereum price levels on the Bybit crypto exchange.

BTCUSD

At the end of August, Bitcoin held the $19,500 level, but the bulls failed to seize the initiative. The price of the cryptocurrency has again dropped below the psychological mark of $20,000.

For BTCUSD to grow, buyers need to break past the downtrend line and gain ground above the $20,000 level. In this case, Bitcoin will test the resistance at $21,800.

If the bears increase the pressure, the cryptocurrency could bounce back to local lows of around $18,000.

ETHUSD

At the end of the week, ETHUSD found strong support at $1,500 and is currently trading around $1,600.

Currently, Ethereum is showing a stronger positive trend in the upcoming fund of The Megre, while Bitcoin tries to hold the $20,000 level. The dominance index of the first cryptocurrency has dropped to lows of around 39%.

The Ethereum update could be the basis for the resumption of the uptrend. Still, the bears will try to take advantage of potential issues during The Megre to increase the pressure on the cryptocurrency market.
