Bitcoin bulls show signs of exhaustion
Bitcoin price broke and closed above the daily resistance level at $97,700 on Thursday and rallied 8.19% until Saturday. However, after such a massive rally, BTC faced a slight pullback on Sunday at around $105,000. At the time of writing on Monday, it continues to face resistance around this level and trades slightly down around $103,800.
If BTC continues to face a pullback, it could extend the decline to retest its psychological level at $100,000.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 73, above its overbought level of 70, and points downward, indicating signs of bullish exhaustion. If RSI continues to move below its overbought levels, it could indicate a decrease in bullish momentum and a fall in Bitcoin’s price.

However, if BTC breaks and closes above its $105,000 resistance level, it could extend the rally toward its all-time high of $109,588.
Ethereum finds support around its 200-day EMA
Ethereum price broke above the descending trendline (drawn by joining multiple high levels since early January) on Thursday and rallied 44%. On Saturday, it broke above its 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around $2,427. At the time of writing on Monday, it hovers at around $2,513.
If ETH finds support around its 200-day EMA and rebounds, it could extend the rally to retest its key psychological level at $3,000.
The RSI on the daily chart reads 79 above its overbought levels of 70, indicating strong bullish momentum. However, traders should be cautious as the chances of a pullback are high due to its overbought condition. Another possibility is that the RSI remains above its overbought level of 70 and continues its upward trend.

Bitcoin, altcoins, stablecoins FAQs
Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, a virtual currency designed to serve as money. This form of payment cannot be controlled by any one person, group, or entity, which eliminates the need for third-party participation during financial transactions.
Altcoins are any cryptocurrency apart from Bitcoin, but some also regard Ethereum as a non-altcoin because it is from these two cryptocurrencies that forking happens. If this is true, then Litecoin is the first altcoin, forked from the Bitcoin protocol and, therefore, an “improved” version of it.
Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to have a stable price, with their value backed by a reserve of the asset it represents. To achieve this, the value of any one stablecoin is pegged to a commodity or financial instrument, such as the US Dollar (USD), with its supply regulated by an algorithm or demand. The main goal of stablecoins is to provide an on/off-ramp for investors willing to trade and invest in cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins also allow investors to store value since cryptocurrencies, in general, are subject to volatility.
Bitcoin dominance is the ratio of Bitcoin's market capitalization to the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies combined. It provides a clear picture of Bitcoin’s interest among investors. A high BTC dominance typically happens before and during a bull run, in which investors resort to investing in relatively stable and high market capitalization cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. A drop in BTC dominance usually means that investors are moving their capital and/or profits to altcoins in a quest for higher returns, which usually triggers an explosion of altcoin rallies.
