Bitcoin and large-cap altcoins are meeting strong overhead resistance, which could be a signal that bears are attempting to stall the next upward move.

Bearish pressures mount against Bitcoin price and this could lead to sharp short-term pullbacks in the prices of many altcoins.

Bitcoin’s new all-time high at $69,000 and Ether’s slow climb toward $5,000 are clear signals that bulls are in control and a hint that altcoins intend to follow.
