Taking a look at H4 interval, one can see that BTC is trading in an upward trend and the price sits above the key $10000 handle. However, should the aforementioned level be broken, sellers will focus on $9500 handle as it is a support marked with the lower limit of Overbalance structure and the lower limit of upward channel. According to the Overbalance methodology, as long as Bitcoin stays above $9500 mark, the trend remains upward. A break below could trigger a bigger downward correction.

Looking at Ethereum, one can see that the upward move accelerated recently. Following a break above the $238 handle, ETH moved towards the resistance marked with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the last downward impulse (started in June 2019). If the current sentiment prevails, there is a chance to extend the move towards the next Fibonacci retracement (78.6%). On the other hand, in case bears regain control, the earlier broken $238 handle should act as the nearest support.
