Bitcoin technical outlooks for Q3

Bitcoin has struggled to clear the $72k level since early April and appears poised to test the $56.5k-$60k zone in the near-term.

The May swing low at $56.k is protected by the 200-day simple moving average that continues to trend higher, while the CCI indicator on the daily chart shows Bitcoin in oversold territory.

However, the weekly chart presents a contrasting setup and one that suggests higher prices are likely over the medium-term.

Ethereum technical outlooks for Q3

The daily Ethereum price chart appears weak with the potential to erase the entire May 20th spot ETF announcement candle.

The downside is protected by the 200-day sma, currently at $3k, ahead of a prior level of support around $2,865. The 20-day sma is trending lower, highlighting current weakness, while the 50- and 200-day smas are pointing higher, suggesting longer-term strength.
