This shows that the strong recovery in cryptocurrencies has largely been led by Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This sharp run-up in Bitcoin has pushed the Fear and Greed indicator into the Greed zone.

This is a positive sign as it indicates that buyers may be holding on to their positions expecting higher levels in the short term.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1382\" height=\"860\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-10\/fecddefd-11eb-412f-908e-a2edbb55ee2c.png\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>BTC\/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The moving averages have completed a bullish crossover and the relative strength index (RSI) is near the overbought zone, suggesting that the path of least resistance is to the upside.<\/p>\n<p>If buyers push the price above $56,100, the uptrend could resume and the BTC\/USDT pair may rally to $60,000. Above this level, a retest of the all-time high at $64,854 is possible.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to this assumption, if bears pull the price below $52,920, the pair could drop to the 20-day exponential moving average ($49,504). This is an important support for the bulls to defend because a break below it could signal a change in the short-term sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>The pair could then drop to the 50-day simple moving average ($47,578) and next to $40,000.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1382\" height=\"860\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-10\/7468f1d6-9270-4999-a29a-2e8bff926435.png\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>BTC\/USDT 4-hour chart.

This indicates that bulls anticipate a break above the overhead zone.<\/p>\n<p>If that happens, the pair could resume its uptrend. The first sign of weakness will be a break and close below the 20-EMA. The RSI is forming a negative divergence, signaling that the momentum may be weakening.<\/p>\n<p>A break and close below the 20-EMA could pull the price to the 50-SMA. A break below this support could start a deeper correction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DOTUSDT\"><\/span>DOT\/USDT<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Polkadot (DOT) has been gradually moving higher toward the overhead resistance at $38.77.

The failure of a bearish setup is a bullish sign as it may trap the aggressive bears who then try to cover their positions, resulting in a short-squeeze.<\/p>\n<p>The DOT\/USDT pair could then start its journey toward $49.78. Alternatively, if the price turns down from the current level or the overhead resistance and breaks below the moving averages, the pair could drop to $28.60.<\/p>\n<p>A bounce off this support could keep the pair range-bound for a few days.

This advantage will be lost if the price breaks and closes below the 20-day EMA.<\/p>\n<p>In such a case, the UNI\/USDT pair could drop to $22.
