 <p class=""><strong>Bitcoin (BTC) and a select group of alternative cryptocurrencies have held their ground against bearish trends, suggesting buyers are not rushed to exit the market.</strong></p>
 <p class="">Meanwhile, the performance of the United States equities markets remained strong the previous week. According to Bespoke, the S&amp;P 500 Index (SPX) and the Nasdaq 100 saw continuous gains for nine weeks, marking their most impressive joint performance since 1985, when they enjoyed an 11-week winning streak. The year 2023 saw the SPX close with a remarkable gain of over 24%, indicating that the bullish sentiment still dominates.</p>
 <p class="">In contrast, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) experienced a decline of approximately 2% in 2023, marking its first annual loss since 2020. This decline is attributed to decelerating inflation and the expected 75-basis-point interest rate reduction by the U.S. Federal Reserve in 2024, which has placed significant downward pressure on the dollar index.</p>

 <p class="">The increasing risk appetite of investors and a host of crypto-specific positives boosted Bitcoin&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">by 155% in 2023. Soon, two events&nbsp;hold the key to continuing Bitcoin’s rally. First will be the regulator’s ruling on-the-spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund applications expected in the next few days, and the second will be Bitcoin’s halving in April.</a></p><a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <p class="">Will Bitcoin and altcoins be correct soon or resume their upmove? Let’s analyze the charts to find out.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sp-500-index-spx-price-analysis">S&amp;P 500 Index (SPX) price analysis</h2> <p class="">The S&amp;P 500 Index remains in a strong uptrend but witnessed profit-booking at 4,793. Although the trend remains up, the relative strength index (RSI) is in the early stages of forming a negative divergence. This suggests weakening momentum.</p>

  </div> <p class="">The bears will try to tug the price to the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) (4,690), which remains the critical short-term level to watch out for. A strong bounce off the 20-day EMA will improve the prospects of a rally above 4,793. The index may then rally to the psychologically important level of 5,000.</p> <p class="">Contrarily, if the price turns down and breaks below the 20-day EMA, it will suggest that the bulls are closing their positions in a hurry. That could start a pullback to 4,650 and then to the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) (4,502).</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="u-s-dollar-index-dxy-price-analysis">U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) price analysis</h2> <p class="">The U.S. Dollar Index has been trading inside a wide range between 101 and 108 for several months. The price reached the support on Dec. 27, when the buyers stepped in.</p>

  </div> <p class="">Any bounce from the current level is expected to face solid resistance at the 20-day EMA (102.26). If the price turns down from the 20-day EMA, it will indicate that the sentiment remains negative and traders are selling on rallies. That will increase the possibility of a break below 101. The index may then collapse to 99.57.</p> <p class="">On the contrary, if buyers shove the price above the 20-day EMA, it will suggest that the selling pressure is reducing. The index may then rise to the 50-day SMA (103.88). Such a move will indicate that the range-bound action may continue longer.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="bitcoin-btc-price-analysis">Bitcoin (BTC) price analysis</h2> <p class="">Bitcoin&nbsp;has fallen to the support line of the ascending triangle pattern, an essential level for the bulls to defend.</p>

  </div> <p class="">If the price sustains above the 20-day EMA ($42,484), the BTC/USDT pair could climb to the overhead resistance at $44,700. This level may attract strong selling by the bears, but if the buyers prevail, the pair will complete a bullish ascending triangle pattern. This setup has a target objective of $49,178.</p> <p class="">Conversely, if the price breaks below the triangle, it will invalidate the bullish view. The pair could then tumble to $40,000. This level may be strong support, but the decline may extend to $37,980 if broken.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ether-eth-price-analysis">Ether (ETH) price analysis</h2> <p class="">Ether&nbsp;turned down from $2,446 on Dec. 28 and reentered the descending channel on Dec. 29.

However, the selling pressure may increase further if buyers do not push the price back above the channel within the next few days.</p> <p class="">If the 20-day EMA cracks, the ETH/USDT pair could drop to the 50-day SMA ($2,177) and then to the channel’s support line near $2,000.</p> <p class="">On the upside, a break and close above the channel will suggest that the bulls have not given up.
