After touching their multi-week milestones this month, most cryptos breached their long-term support levels.

Ethereum (ETH) 

TradingView, ETH/USDT

After a brief late November upturn, ETH touched its two-week high on 1 December. However, as the broader market slumped, the largest altcoin witnessed a breakdown from the ascending broadening wedge after noting a 17.6% 24-hour loss. 

After striking its ATH, the bears triggered an over 27% decline (from 10 November) to touch the alts’ seven-week low on 3 December.

This fall led the alt to breach its 37-day support at the $3,976-mark. Moreover, the pullback occurred on substantially high trading volumes, depicting a strong bearish move. At press time, the alt traded at $3,866.61.

The RSI was deep into the oversold region while pointing at a high sell-off phase. Now, it might be in for a trend reversal. Further, DMI visibly showed a bearish preference, but the ADX displayed a slightly weak directional trend.

After a minor retracement, MATIC witnessed a monstrous 46.25% ROI from 28 November (low) to 3 December. The alt grew after marking a rising wedge on the 4-hour timeframe. This incline propped MATIC to touch its six-month high on 3 December. Accordingly, the price breached its six-month-long resistance at the $2.22-mark. 

However, the altcoin saw a 15.4% decline in its value over the past day. MATIC almost followed the market trend as it saw a downturn after a bullish revival. However, bulls ensured seven-week-long support at the $1.43-mark. 

At press time, MATIC traded at $1.795. The RSI undeniably preferred the bears. Presently, the 38-mark becomes crucial for the bulls to uphold to prevent a further breakdown towards the oversold region. Further, DMI and MACD reaffirmed the previous analysis.

Terra (LUNA)
