Bitcoin spikes from $96 600 to $104 500 in 24 hours

Bitcoin has surged to $104,500, after trading at $96,600 just yesterday morning. This confident move above the $100,000 mark clearly signals a return of strong bullish momentum in the cryptocurrency market.

While traders and investors are riding a wave of euphoria, the crypto fear & greed index has climbed to 73 points, up from 65 just a day ago. This rise reflects growing market optimism, fueled by BTC's recent rally and expectations of continued growth. However, such spikes in greed often precede corrections, making it crucial to remain vigilant and avoid getting swept up in the hype.

The crypto market remains unpredictable, and euphoria can quickly turn into panic. Investors should stick to the core principles of risk management and portfolio diversification. It's unwise to invest all funds into a single coin, no matter how promising it may seem. Moreover, staying updated with news and analytical reports is essential for understanding current trends and potential risks. Regulatory shifts, macroeconomic conditions, and technological breakthroughs can significantly impact the cryptocurrency landscape.

Ethereum steals the show with a 20% surge

Ethereum has outperformed all, jumping 20% in just 24 hours and now trading above $2,200. The rally followed the successful rollout of the Pectra upgrade, sparking renewed risk appetite and investor interest in ETH.

The Pectra update acted as a catalyst, unleashing pent-up energy in the Ethereum market. Developers have promised improved scalability and reduced transaction fees, a highly positive development welcomed by the community and potential users alike. These upgrades could attract more projects and participants to the Ethereum ecosystem, further solidifying its role as the leading platform for decentralized applications.

Despite the positive momentum, it's important to stay mindful of existing risks. Competition from other blockchain platforms, regulatory developments, and technical challenges may affect ETH's future trajectory.

Trading recommendations

Bitcoin technical outlook: Buyers are currently aiming to reclaim the $103,200 level, which opens the way toward $104,400, and from there, the $105,900 level is within reach. The ultimate target is the $107,900 high; a breakout above this level would confirm the strengthening of the bull market. In case of a decline, buyers are expected around $102,000. A drop below this zone could send BTC quickly down to $101,100, with $100,000 being the furthest likely support area.

Ethereum technical outlook: A clear consolidation above $2,227 opens a direct path to $2,262. The ultimate target is the $2,304 high; breaking this level would indicate the formation of a bullish market structure. In case of a drop, the buyers are expected around $2,188. A fall below this level could drag ETH toward $2,159, with $2,130 serving as the final key support area.

What's on the chart:

  • Red lines represent support and resistance levels where price is expected to either slow down or accelerate.
  • Green lines: 50-day moving average.
  • Blue means a 100-day moving average.
  • Light green means a 200-day moving average.

Price testing or crossing these moving averages typically signals a pause or a new market impulse.
