Bitcoin (BTC) reached a new high for 2023 at $35,717, following Federal Reserve Chair Powell's press conference and monetary policy guidance hinting at an end to rate hikes.

MicroStrategy's Q3 earnings report revealed that the company held 158,400 BTC worth $4.69 billion as of October 31. This holding yielded a profit of $934 million for the company after Bitcoin broke out from sub-$30,000 levels.
Regarding altcoins, Uniswap, Near Protocol, and Oasis Network saw significant gains. Bitcoin and Ethereum both remained above their 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), indicating bullish trends in the market.
For Bitcoin to break the resistance level of $36,400, it needs to return to $36,000. However, a drop below the support level of $35,265 could bring the lower support level of $32,436 into view.
Ethereum faces a similar situation where it needs to break above its trend line to challenge the resistance level at $1,926. If it fails to do so, it risks falling to the support level of $1,805.
The report also highlighted that both Bitcoin and Ethereum are currently in overbought territory. This could signal increased seller pressure in the market.
