## BTC & ETH Weekly Performance
### Bitcoin (BTC)

(Data Courtesy Of TradingView)

As of today, Bitcoin has broken and closed above the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) of $26,934 on June 17th, pushing it to a weekly high of $30,613, allowing it to pass through the $30k resistance zone and establish a bullish trading channel. This has led BTC to establish $25k as a new support level and surpass the 50-day moving average of $27k. Providing the bullish breakout ensues, Bitcoin could be swaddled in <a href="/ja/price/optimism-op" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Optimism</a> from traders, which has the potential to push it further up in the medium term and lead it to test the next substantial resistance area situated around $38k.

On the flip side, bears are unlikely to give up so easily against the bulls, as it is forecasted they will attempt to halt the rally to $31k, yet, if the bulls do not falter in their aggressive latch on the current level, it could enhance the prospects of a rally above the overhead resistance. If it happens, that could push the BTC/USDT pair to surge to around $32,400, which the bears are expected to defend, yet if that fails, the pair could surge to $40k.

### Ether (ETH)

Ethereum’s price has shown resilience over the past few months, leading to a hover between $1-2k psychological levels, as it shows a tight consolidation on the three-day chart. As this rangebound movement nears a breakout, investors need to be extremely cautious of Bitcoin bears who are attempting to push the price back down, which could flip Ethereum’s potential to successfully squeeze through the triangle apex formation and experience a volatile breakout toward the target of $2,915.
