Crypto market on November 27

Bitcoin is the oldest and at the same biggest cryptocurrency in the crypto market. For the last several weeks, Bitcoin struggled to regain its position.

At first, Bitcoin’s price fell to less than $10,000. However, instead of returning to its previous price, Bitcoin suffered additional losses. In this situation, it is not surprising that the price declined to less than $9,000 before falling below $8,000.

Two days ago, on November 26, Bitcoin’s price started an upside correction from the $6,535 low against the U.S. dollar. The price first reached more than $6,800. It even broke the resistance level above $7,000.

This trend continued as price surpassed the $7,200 resistance area. Nevertheless, Bitcoin was unable to break the resistance levels above $7,375 and $7,400. A high was formed near $3,372 before the price declined below $7,200.

There was a downside break below $6,950. The next support levels are near the $6,660 and $6,540 level. On November 27, Bitcoin’s price was $6,946.

Let’s have a look at the price of the second-largest cryptocurrency in the market. On November 26, Ethereum started the recovery process as the price rose above the $140 and $142 resistance level.

Furthermore, the price even surpassed the $150 level, but it struggled to continue its journey to the top. As a result, it was unable to overcome the resistance levels above $152 and $155. A high was formed near $152 before falling to less than $150. On Wednesday, the Ethereum’s price was $142.
