Most cryptocurrencies started the week with gains. Bitcoin adds less than 3%, while Ethereum gains 3.1% and approaches the $1,770 level.
Bitcoin's trading started the week with upward pressure. Looking technically at the H4 chart, if the current momentum continues, a renewed attack on key resistance at the $25,000 level is not out of the question. This zone stems from the May 12 bottom and the upper limit of the broad 1:1 system: If, on the other hand, declines occur, the $22.400 level should be considered as the first support.
