Summary
Bitcoin Analysis
Bitcoin’s bulls outbidded bearish traders on Sunday to paint a green daily candle [+$844] yet bears still won the weekly candle and painted a red candle for the 8th consecutive week. That was the first time in the 13+ year history of bitcoin that BTC closed the weekly time frame with eight straight weeks of negative price action.
The first chart we’re analyzing today is the BTC/USD 1D chart below by sngyuchao. BTC’s price is trading between 0.786 [$29,467.1] and 0.618 [$31,166.7], at the time of writing.

What do bears need to do to continue the larger BTC and macro cryptocurrency downtrend?

Ethereum Analysis
Ethereum Founder, Vitalik Butterin, announced last week the merge event from PoW [Proof-of-Work] to PoS [Proof-of Stake] could take place as early as August of this year.
So, what will that mean for the price of Ether over the coming weeks and months as we tread deeper into 2022? Will that event be enough to reverse Ether’s price to the upside of the charts if the macro cryptocurrency market’s downtrend is still intact? Will the Merge actually take place in August?
Ether’s price also closed the weekly time frame in red figures and has finished seven consecutive weeks in red digits. ETH’s price finished up over 3% on Sunday and +$68.12.
The ETH/USD 1D chart below by harisonhbn9718 shows ETH’s price trading between 0.236 [$2,062.02] and 0.382 [$2,139.01].
If Ether bulls want to seize the announcement of the Merge potentially taking place in August, they need to regain 0.382 and then 0.5 fib level [$2,201.23]. The next target for bullish ETH traders is 0.618 [$2,263.45].
Conversely, bearish traders are looking to send ETH’s price back below the 0.236 followed by 1 [$1,937.58]. The third target below for bearish ETH market participants is 0.273 [$1,793.62].

Theta’s price also received some bullish relief during Sunday’s daily session and concluded the day +$0.06.
The third chart we’re analyzing today is the THETA/USDT 1W chart below from Stretchio. Traders can see that bullish traders have support at the $0.79 level and bulls risk seeing that price level soon if they don’t manage to pivot to the upside.
The overhead level to break for bullish traders to once again be in some sort of control of Theta’s price and the market’s momentum is the $4.38 level.
Theta’s Moving Averages: 5-Day [$1.28], 20-Day [$1.96], 50-Day [$61.55], 100-Day [$201.77], 200-Day [$409.71], Year to Date [$201.77].
