Weekly Technical Analysis: 31 October – 6 November 2023
Bitcoin (BTC)
BTC has started to stagnate after a strong price surge. However, there’s still a chance it may temporarily consolidate while waiting for positive news. Nevertheless, the support remains at the $31,500 level, which is seen as a buying opportunity to target the initial resistance at $36,000. The mid-term target for this recovery phase could potentially reach $42,000.
Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum (ETH) has started to move in line with BTC, trailing behind by about 50% in terms of returns this year. It still presents an opportunity for gradual accumulation. Short-term support is at $1,700, with the main resistance at $1,900. The medium-term target for this recovery phase is at the $2,200 level.
Smooth Love Potion (SLP)
has surged by 63.9% in the past week. The recovery has been relatively strong, but the overall trend is still bearish, so caution is advised in trading at higher levels. In the short term, watch for potential support around 0.085 Thai Baht, and if maintained, there may be an opportunity for an upward move towards 0.105 Thai Baht. It’s advisable to wait for a larger-scale trend reversal before increasing investment positions.
GALA (GALA)
GALA has made a 38.9% upward adjustment in the past week. The overall trend is starting to show signs of a potential uptrend. Consider entering the market if it holds above the support level of 0.6800 Thai Baht. If it falls below this level, it’s advisable to wait and observe. Short-term resistance is at 0.800 Thai Baht, and if the price continues to adjust upwards, it would confirm a clearer uptrend
Trading and Investment Considerations For The Week
