BTC / USDT

The bulls pushed Bitcoin above the overhead resistance at $ 48,843.20 on October 3, but the long wick on the daily candle suggests the bears are aggressively defending the level. The price has traded between the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) ($ 46,667) and $ 48,843.20 for the past two days.

The 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) ($ 45,478) is up and the RSI is in positive territory, suggesting that the path of least resistance is up.

The advantage will tend in the bear’s favor if the price breaks through and stays below the 20-day EMA. The pair could then fall to the 100-day SMA ($ 41,935).

ETH / USDT

The bulls pushed Ether (ETH) above the downtrendline and moving averages on October 1st, but the bears haven’t thrown in the towel yet. The sellers are trying to stop the upside move near $ 3,500 and pull the price back below the 50-day SMA (3,297).
