Bitcoin prices, as well as the capital of the crypto market as a whole, rose in yesterday's trading, but the increase was not enough to erase last week's losses.

The most important thing that affects the direction of the market

Market cap data for cryptocurrencies revealed that the $1.61 trillion resistance was broken on the 4th of December and for a short period after that, as the market cap for cryptocurrencies reached $1.81 trillion on the 11th of January, reaching the bottom and falling again to the 1.61 resistance. Trillion dollars.

Cryptocurrency analysts believe that closing today below or above this resistance will affect the market direction at the present time.

A close below the support level and a drop within the channel could lead to a 16% drop to the channel's midline at $1.40 Trillion. Conversely, a bounce could lead to a 30% rally to the next resistance level at $2.10 trillion.

Bitcoin returns to support

Like TOTALCAP, the price of BTC has risen rapidly since October. The move caused a breakout of the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement resistance level at $42,300.

After the price consolidated above the area, it began another upward movement, reaching a high of $49,970 last week.

However, Bitcoin failed to sustain its upward movement and subsequently declined, resulting in a bearish candlestick (red icon). BTC is trading inside the 0.5 Fib retracement support level at $42,300.

Whether it collapses or bounces, Bitcoin's future direction can be determined. A breakdown could send Bitcoin's price down 28% to the next support level at $30,600, while a bounce could lead to a 20% increase to $51,000.

Cryptocurrency prices now

Bitcoin is close to exceeding the $43,000 level and is now rising by 0.30%, but it is far from touching last week’s peak of $49,000.

Ethereum is trading at $2,547.8 per symbol, up 0.5% in the last 24 hours and 9.8% in the past week with a wave of optimism in accepting its investment funds similar to Bitcoin.

Binance Coin (BNB) also rises by 1.1% to $316.89, and Solana rises by 2.4% to $97.795 per token.
