Technical analysis of BTC: severe volatility

Weekly chart BTC/USDT: continuation of movement in a descending channel.

The forecast that the cost of BTC would drop to the level came true $32 000. This event occurred due to the failure to hold an important price value $41 000. The minimum price reached at the beginning of this week was $32,843. Bitcoin is still in a downward channel, which I entered back in November last year. Currently, the price of the largest crypto asset is at the bottom line of this channel.
$32 000 — $34 000 is a very strong support zone, in which BTC was traded last summer until August 2021 of the year, just like in the beginning 2022 of the year. A rebound to the upper boundaries of the channel is likely $38 000 — $39 000. However, it is too early to talk about the end of the correction.: most likely, the price will hit this support zone, where will the accumulation of further positions come from?.
The second possible scenario is being higher $30 000. Fall option is unlikely, but, if the stock market continues to decline, then BTC can test the level $29 000. At the moment the stock market continues to fall, This is especially true for the technology sector. for instance, Coinbase share price falls for third month in a row, Rowing to 50% from historical high, what, probably, related to BTC price movement.
Technical analysis ETH: sharp movements in asset value

The death cross is expected to cross soon on the ETH daily chart. The strongest zone at the moment is level $1700. If BTC continues to fall in the near future, then the price of ETH is likely to decrease to $1700. However, in the event of “idleness” or an increase in the value of Bitcoin, ether may stop falling.
ETH is currently at a good support level, because he is constantly being bought off. We must not panic and, if a losing trade is opened, then you should wait for the ETH price to roll back. Cryptocurrency growth is not expected, however, a return to 10% up - on $2700 or even to the level $3000.
It is necessary to monitor events in the BTC market and adhere to your own principles of trading strategy when trading.
