The cryptocurrency market, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins, continues to face uncertainty as inflation and war threaten the financial market. There has been speculation of the market suffering a longer bearish run if such war continues to rise in other parts of the world.
Recently, the war between Russia and Ukraine has demonstrated the power of cryptocurrency as a force for good to assist many in areas affected, with the emerging rise of war in other parts of the world, like the Israel-Hamas conflict. Due to risk sentiments, there are so many uncertainties surrounding Bitcoin (BTC).
Despite much uncertainty, Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies remain a haven for many traders and investors as there is still much-untapped potential from the cryptocurrency market.
Another big concern for traders, investors, and institutions has been the issue of the Bitcoin ETF that is yet to be approved by the United States Security and Exchange Commission (US SEC). The SEC faces a deadline to appeal the court’s decision that rules Bitcoin’s ETF in favor of Grayscale investment.

There is high speculation of a spot Bitcoin ETF being approved next year, which could be a big boost for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market ahead of its halving in 2024.
The heat map from Coin360 indicates the cryptocurrency market is holding pretty well despite so many uncertainties surrounding the cryptocurrency market as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and the weekly top 5 cryptos (XRP, BNB, DOGE, LTC, ADA) continue to hold above key levels.
On-chain analysis from Coinbase suggests a trading volume of over 50% drop in trading activities for Bitcoin as the price has been trading between $26,000 to $28,000 for months.
While Bitcoin price breakout to either the upside or downside remains uncertain on higher timeframes, this has remained an area of interest for many investors and traders as they would look to open positions in the direction of the market.
The Bitcoin bulls have failed to defend the price of Bitcoin (BTC/USDT) from trading below its 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (50-day and 200-day EMAs) as the price struggled below $27,200 acting as resistance for BTC/USDT price.
Bitcoin’s price currently trades above its 25% Fibonacci Retracement value (25% FIB value), which is a good sign for bulls as the price needs to hold above $26,500 corresponding to this 25% FIB value acting as support for BTC/USDT price.
If the price of BTC/USDT closes below $26,000, we could see Bitcoin bears stepping into the market to drive the price of Bitcoin lower to a region of $25,500 and likely towards a monthly low of $24,800 where the price has shown great strength to bounce off.
The price of Bitcoin needs to break and close above the region of $28,500, with a good volume accompanying the price rally to show the needed signs to a region of $32,000, acting as the yearly high.
Bitcoin’s trading activity volume has been low lately with its Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and its Relative Strength Index (RSI), all indicative prices moving in range for the past few months.
Unlike Bitcoin, the price of Ethereum hasn’t demonstrated the best price action in the past few weeks, as the price has remained below its 50-day and 200-day EMA, suggesting a bearish price dominance.
The price of Ethereum attempted a breakout above $1,700, but bears rejected the price as this looked like a bearish trap for those looking to open a long position for Ethereum as the price fell below $1,660, acting as a key support zone for price.
A weekly close for the price of Ethereum below its 200-day EMA could mean price retesting $1,400, acting as the next support region for bulls to salvage price from retesting its yearly low of $1,200.
If the price of Ethereum reclaims $1,750 resistance, then the price could rally high to a region of $1,900 as a minor price rally; if the price of Ethereum fails to show a promising price action in the coming days, we could see $1,400 being retested.
While most attention remains on Bitcoin and Ethereum, let’s look at the weekly top 5 cryptos (XRP, BNB, DOGE, LTC, ADA) to watch ahead of the new weeks as these cryptocurrencies possess high-profit potentials.

If the price of DOGE/USDT fails to reclaim its price above $0.066, we could see the price remain in a downtrend. The support of $0.055 is key to bulls; if this region is lost, the price will drop to a low of $0.045.
