On the daily charts, despite the recent softness, BTC/USD has managed to hold quite strong support around 28500, roughly coinciding with the 89-day moving average and the lower edge of the Ichimoku cloud on the daily charts.

Only a break below the June low of 24750 would trigger a reassessment of the overall bullish bias. (DailyFX)
After the sharp rise from the end of June, ETH/USD’s uptrend appears to have stalled.

On the upside, the May and July highs of 2020-2030 are crucial barriers. (DailyFX)
