Price Analysis: BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, ADA, AVAX, LUNA, DOGE, SHIB – March 17, 2022

Bitcoin and most altcoins are in a bull trend and making higher lows on March 17th. This signals a possible continuation of the current uptrend. 

The crypto market was on an uptrend on March 16th, and most cryptos were making higher lows all through the day. Bitcoin, the key market mover, is currently making higher lows and is holding firmly above $40k. At this point, one can only wonder, how high can the market go? Let's analyze the top 10 cryptocurrencies to figure this out. 

BTC/USD

After a breakout on March 15th, Bitcoin is still trending in an upside channel along the 20-day MA. Bitcoin (BTC) was making higher lows along this trading channel on March 16th and continues with the same price action. It has bounced off a more recent low on March 17th, and buying volumes are rising.

If Bitcoin bounces off the current low at $41,048.88, bulls can expect a fight from short sellers at $41,369.70. This is a price level where Bitcoin bulls have struggled since March 16th. If bulls can overcome the wall of sellers at $41,369.70, Bitcoin could test $44k in the short term. 

However, if selling volumes increase, bears can expect buyers to put up a strong fight at $40,855.26 on the 20-day MA. If selling volumes are strong enough to overcome bulls at $40,855.26, the short-term target for Bitcoin would be $38,519.2, a price level where bears have failed a couple of times in the week.

If buying volumes shoot up in the day, Ethereum bulls can expect some resistance from short sellers at $2774.66, a price level where bulls have struggled since late March 16th. If buyers can overcome the wall of short-seller at $2774.66, Ethereum could easily test $3000 in the short term. 

However, if selling volumes increase and bears break through the 20-day MA at $2735.85, Ethereum could trend towards $2568 in the short term. That's a price level where Ethereum bears have failed at over the last few weeks.
