There is currently no dominant bullish or bearish emotion, indicating that there may be short-term sideways movement between $62,000 and $66,000. Ethereum has performed similarly to Bitcoin, with Glassnode data showing a rise in Ether supply among addresses that have held 1,000–10,000 ETH over the previous two weeks.

"With the overall crypto M.Cap. just under $2.5 trillion, the market has undergone minor correction in the last 24 hours," stated Parth Chaturvedi, Lead for Investments at CoinSwitch Ventures. The market value realized value (MVRV) ratio of BTC (-0.8%) appears to have dropped below its 90-day average, suggesting that investors in cryptocurrencies may soon have an opportunity to purchase.

The introduction of the Runes token standard and the halving event has also resulted in an increase in transaction fees. Since the start of the year, the price of Bitcoin has increased by about 47% due to the anticipation of its halving. Bitcoin may see increases in the second quarter of this year, according to historical statistics and price trends. After the halving, altcoin rallies are also frequently observed, while Bitcoin stays quiet for a while before exhibiting green candlesticks.

Vice President of WazirX Rajagopal Menon stated: "Bitcoin is currently trading at $65,052, down 0.62% over the last 24 hours following a 1.50% increase on Sunday. If it continues on its current path, it may encounter resistance at $66000. Shiba Inu will soon cross over to its 50-day EMA, which is a critical level between bulls and bears. SHIB may increase even more in price if it breaks above the $0.00003 mark. But in order to keep from dropping back to its former $0.000022, it must maintain the levels. Solana is also trading close to its $150 zone, where it needs to build momentum to climb higher. If it keeps gaining traction, resistance may be found in the $166–$177 range.

"Bitcoin's rise to $65,225 signals increasing investor confidence, fueled by high-profile investments such as Michael Saylor's, which boosted his net worth to nearly $4 billion," stated Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin.

Due of the Hong Kong ETFs' impending launch and the unimportant economic schedule, this week may witness considerable volatility, which would likely be to the bulls' advantage. It would be confirmed that the bottom has been reached at roughly $60,000 by a break out above $75,000.

"Over the weekend, the crypto market saw less volatility, with both BTC and ETH closing in the green following the push to the upside post-BTC halving," the CoinDCX Research Team said to ABP Live. Technically speaking, Bitcoin is still inside a larger sideways zone but is holding above the 50 EMA D support level. With critical resistances at $71400 and $72850, the market must overcome and hold its recent ATH in order to continue its upward trajectory. It is good news for cryptocurrencies that BTC's dominance has decreased over the past several days. At the moment, ETH is below both the $3200 S/R flip and the 50 EMA D. The $3,656 mark represents the key resistance for ETH.
