ETHUSD - Murray analysis

This week, the quotes have overcome the mark of 1321 (Fibo retracement 61.8%, the middle line of the Bollinger Bands) and can continue to grow to the upper limit of the lateral range of 1375, which will allow them to leave the descending channel and rise to the levels of 1450 (Fibo retracement 50.0%), 1500 (Murray [4/8]) and 1575 (Fibo retracement 38.2%). The reverse consolidation of the price below the level of 1321.00 will give the prospect of a return to the lower limit of the trading range of 1250, however, the resumption of serious downward dynamics is possible only in case of its breakdown. In this case, the targets will be 1125 (Murray [1/8]) and 1000 (Murray [0/8]).



Resistance levels: 1375, 1450, 1500, 1575 | Support levels: 1250, 1125, 1000

BTCUSD - Market Uncertainty Persists

The BTCUSD pair had a rather volatile week, dropping to four-week lows around 18190 but then returned to 19940. However, quotes generally remain in the range of 19000–19400.

The sharp decline in prices was due to the release of September data on inflation in the US, which remained at very high levels: the consumer price index reached 8.2%, and Core CPI – 6.6%, which forced the US Federal Reserve to adopt “hawkish” rhetoric, strengthening the position of the American currency against the main competitors. However, the downward dynamics were short-term, and soon the trading instrument regained lost positions.



The price chart is probably forming a Downwards Triangle, and the trading instrument is close to exiting it. If it consolidates below the 19000–18750 zone, the decline will continue to 18000 (Murrey [–1/8]), 16900 (Fibonacci extension 100), and if 19531.25 (Murrey [1/8], the middle line of Bollinger Bands) is broken up resume by 20312.5 (Murrey [2/8]) and 21093.7 (Murrey [3/8]).

Resistance levels: 19531.2, 20312.5, 21093.7, 21875 | Support levels: 18750, 18000, 16900
