The price even broke the USD 6,500, but buyers failed to hold gains. As a result, there was a downside correction and the price tested the USD 6,450 support.

BTC/USD is currently up 1.3% to USD 6,475 and it seems like it could make another attempt to surpass the USD 6,500 resistance. On the downside, the main weekly supports are visible near the USD 6,450 and USD 6,400 levels.

Ethereum price

Ethereum price also followed bitcoin and gained bullish momentum above the key USD 200 barrier. ETH/USD traded above the USD 205 and USD 208 resistance levels to place itself in a bullish zone.

On the upside, an immediate resistance is at USD 210 followed by the weekly hurdle at USD 225. On the downside, the broken resistance at USD 200 is likely to act as a strong weekly support for buyers this week.
